Objective: The experiment was designed to evaluate the in vitro creation of tissue engineered heart valve leaflets. Methods: Aortic artery was harvested from 6 hybrid young pigs. The endothelial and myofibroblast cells were isolated and cultured to get enough cells for seeding. The myofibroblast and endothelial cells were seeded on the scaffolds sequentially. The cellular scaffolds were cultured 28 days and sent for scanning electron microscopy (SEM), histological and hydroxyproline examination. Results: SEM showed that a large amount of cells attached on the scaffolds. The cell had covered a large area of scaffold with a lot of matrix synthesized. The HE stain showed large amount of cells growing on the scaffolds and some cells were found in the central part of scaffolds. Gomori stain showed that there was elastin synthesized on the scaffolds. Hydroxyproline content is (10.93?2.89) ?g/g (scaffolds). Conclusion: With vascular cell, it is possible to seed them onto biodegradable scaffolds and create a viable tissue-engineered heart valve leaflets in vitro.

Objective To investigate the arteries supplying the temporalis. Methods Ten cadavers were examined after embalming with a fluid containing 10% formaldehyde. For detailed examination of the supplying arteries of the temporalis, a mixture of latex and barium sulfate in a ratio of 1∶1 was injected into both carotid arteries of 10 fresh cadavers. The skin and soft tissue were removed from the temporal and lateral regions of the head, and the superficial temporal artery was dissected. As soon as the origin of the medial temporal artery was identified, the zygomatic arch was cut and lifted. The maxillary artery with its branches of the infratemporal region was carefully dissected. After identification of all vessels of the infratemporal region, the temporalis was removed, and then radiographic examination of the injected arteries was performed using 2.5 mA and 40 kV. The injected arteries were clearly identified on the radiographic images, and the area supplied by each artery was determined. Planimetric evaluation of these areas was performed. Results In all specimens, three arteries supplying the temporalis were identified: the anterior deep temporal artery that supplied the anterior part between 11 % and 25% of the temporalis with a mean of 17%, the posterior deep temporal artery that supplied the central part of 27% to 50% of the lateral aspect of the temporalis, with a mean of 38% and a branch of the superficial temporal artery, the medial temporal artery, which supplied the posterior part and in 25% the posterior and the upper part of the temporalis, resulting in 30% to 58% of the muscle's lateral aspect, with a mean of 45%. Conclusion According to a detailed description of the arterial supply of the temporalis, two different pedicled flaps using the anterior or central part of the temporalis can be selectively used for reconstructive surgery.

AIM:To investigate the effect of case-based learning ( CBL) teaching combination with paper review method in the teaching of ophthalmology residents. ·METHODS:The study was conducted from 2015 to 2016. The residents in Department of Ophthalmology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital were included in the research. During the year of 2015, the traditional lecture-based learning ( LBL) method was applied (as a control group). During the year of 2016, the CBL teaching combination with paper review teaching method was applied (as an experimental group). At the end of the course, exams and questionnaires were conducted to evaluate the teaching effect of two different methods. The exams consisted of theoretical and operational assessment. The teaching satisfactions, learning interests, scientific research interests and clinical abilities were included in the questionnaires. The data was analyzed by SPSS 16. 0. ·RESULTS:The results of final exams indicated that the scores of the experimental group (88. 2±6. 5) were higher than the control group ( 75. 6 ± 6. 0 ). The difference showed statistically significant (t=6. 68, P<0. 05). The results of questionnaires indicated that students showed much more satisfied with CBL teaching combination with paper review teaching method ( 91%) than traditional teaching method (50%, x2 =8. 84, P<0. 05). Students in the experimental group improved learning interest ( x2 =6. 29, P<0. 05), increased research interest (x2=4. 54, P<0.05) and approved clinical ability (x2 =4. 25, P<0. 05). The comparison of two groups showed the statistically difference (P<0. 05). ·CONCLUSION: CBL teaching combination with paper review teaching method is beneficial to improve the teaching effect, and it is also beneficial to train residents'clinical skills and research abilities.

Objective To investigate the relationship among age,menopausal status,serum 25 (OH)VD and skeletal metabolism index as PTH (Parathyroid Hormone),CA(Calcium),P (Phosphorus) and boned mineral density (BMD) of climacteric female in Xi'an.Methods 352 cases of healthy women at the age of 40~60 were collected who did routine examination in outpatient building of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2016 to April 2016.According to the results of skeletal density test,all subjects were divided into 3 groups as the normal group (T>-1),the reduction group (-2.5<T<-1),the osteoporosis group (T<-2.5).Electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA) was used to detect levels of serum 25 (OH)VD,PTH,CA and P.Kruskal-Wallis test and chi-square test were used to analyze differences of age,serum 25(OH)VD,PTH,CA and P in different levels of bone mineral density groups.Results Compared with bone density normal group 2.24(2.18~2.29)mmol/L,serum CA levels of bone mineral density reduction group 2.27 (2.20 ~ 2.32)mmol/L and osteoporosis group 2.27(2.23~2.33)mmol/L were significantly higher (Z=9.669,P<0.01).Serum P levels of bone mineral density reduction group 1.15 (1.09~ 1.23)mmol/L and osteoporosis group 1.18 (1.09~ 1.25)mmol/L were obviously higher than bone density normal group,1.11 (0.99 ~ 1.23) mmol/L (Z =13.64,P< 0.01).Ages of osteoporosis group 54(50~57) years and bone mineral density reduction group 51 (47~ 54) years were significantly older than Bone density normal group 47(43~50) years (Z=73.08,P<0.01).The rate of menopause in osteoporosis group and bone mineral density reduction group were significantly higher than in bone density normal group (x2 =13.81,P< 0.01).There was no statistical difference in serum 25(OH)VD and PTH between groups.Conclusion This study found boned density of climacteric women is more likely correlated with age,menopause status and levels of serum CA and P.There was not enough evidence to prove that 25 (OH)VD and PTH have effect on skeletal density.Therefore,to monitor and detect the menopause status and levels of serum CA and P of climacteric female is critical for the prevention and treatment on osteoporosis of women.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the brain against unwanted substances, while, at the same time, limits the transport of many drugs into the brain. Aromatic refreshing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can induce resuscitation and modify the permeability of BBB, promoting other drugs entering into the brain with brain protection effect. This paper mainly reviews the research progress in regulation effects and mechanism of usual aromatic refreshing TCM, such as borneol, moschus, styrax, benzoinum and Tatarinow Sweetflag Rhizome, on BBB permeability. To broaden the application of these drugs in modern pharmaceutics in the future, the relatively research should emphasis on combining aromatic refreshing TCM with new formulations and technologies in pharmaceutics, providing novel promising strategies for brain diseases therapy.

Acupuncture clinical trials are designed to provide reliable evidence of clinical efficacy, and SCI papers is one of the high-quality clinical efficacy of acupuncture research. To analyze these papers published in high impact factor journals on acupuncture clinical trials, we can study clinical trials from design to implementation, the efficacy of prevention and cure, combined with international standard practices to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture. That is the core of acupuncture clinical trials, as well as a prerequisite for outstanding academic output. A scientific and complete acupuncture clinical trial should be topically novel, designed innovative, logically clear, linguistically refining, and the most important point lies in a great discovery and solving the pragmatic problem. All of these are critical points of papers to be published in high impact factor journal, and directly affect international evaluation and promotion of acupuncture.
