BACKGROUND: It is a key point to revascularize the tissue-engineered bone during the repairing of large bone defect. Fascia flap is commonly used in clinic to accelerate the blood supply of implant.OBJECTIVE: To observe the feasibility of repairing goat tibia defects with tissue-engineered bone and accelerating revascularization with fascia flaps.DESIGN: Randomized and controlled animal experiment SETTING: Department of Traumatic Orthopaedics, Nanfang Hospital,Southern Medical University.MATERIALS: Totally 36 goats with the body mass of 14.5-15.5 kg of either gender were enrolled.METHODS: This experiment was conducted at the Department of Traumatic Orthopaedics, Nanfang Hospital, formerly the First Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from December 1999 and December 2003.Bone and periosteum defects 20 mm long were made and fixed with plate of left tibia in 36 goats. They were randomly divided into four groups: Group A in which the defects were filled with coral hydroxyapatite (CHAP), Group B I CHAP+ bone marrow stroma cells (BMSc); Group C with fascia flaps;Group D with nothing. Next, the bone regeneration and the revasculariza tion were evaluated. Radionuclide bone imaging was done 2, 4, 8 weeks after operation. After X-ray examination, the index of optical density of Xray films and histology of the implants were analyzed at 4, 8, 12 weeks after operation, and the biomechanical characters were studied 12 weeks postoperatively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gross observation and X-ray, radionuclide bone imaging, biomechanical and histological observation RESULTS: Totally 36 goats entered the stage of result analysis. ① Gross observation of the repair sample of bone defects of the animals in each group: there was no osteogenesis postoperatively at each time point in the blank control group . In Group B, at week 8 to 12, there was no obvious osteogenesis and callus formation on the surface of the materials. In Group C,At weeks 8 to 12, bone defects were filled gradually, many bone callus processes were seen on the surface of the materials , centralizing and enwrapping the materials. The osteogenetic process in the Group C were superior to that of theGroup B. ②Examination result with -901/SA PET-CT scanners: It was seen by naked eyes that at weeks 2 to 8 in the Group A,the radioactivity concentration at region of interesting (ROI) of the operation side had obvious increasing trend, and similar trend of changing appeared in the Group B and Group C, but the ROI counts and T/NT value in the Group B were both lower than those in the Group C. The decreasing trend in the Group A was lower than that in the Group B. ③) Radiological results: the osteogenesis volume through measuring absorbance in the order from large to small was Group C, Group B, and Group A[At week 12, they were (4.180±0.192), (3.480±0.453), (2.959±0.682)respectively ].④Biomechanical results: there were significant difference of loading and bending stress in the Group C, Group B and Group A [ The loading was (758.333±88.754), (530.214±65.297), (359.667±60.715)N , respectively; and the bending stress was (13.937±2.199), (10.123±1.243),(6.223±0.945)N/mm2, respectively ].⑤)Histological results: Slices at various time points in the blank control group showed no bone tissue. In the other three 3 groups, with the prolongation of time, the osteagenetic range and quality were in the order of Group C, Group B and Group A.CONCLUSION: The fascia flaps can accelerate the revascularization process in the formation of tissue-engineered bone so that the capability of tissue engineered bone to repair the large bone defects may be enhanced.

BACKGROUND: The main aspect of the study in the bone histological engineering is how to maintain and improve theosteogenesis of the osteoblasts in vivo and in vitro. The gene transference may provide a new effective method to deal with theproblem.OBJECTIVE: To discuss the effect of the reverse transcription virus mediated human bone morphogenetic protein7(hBMP-7) gene transfection on the proliferation and osteogenetic differentiation of the bone marrow mesenehymal stemcells (BMSCs) of the rabbits.DESIGN:Cells taken as the study object, grouping control, repeat observation andmeasurement.SETTING: Traumatological and othopaedic lab of a medical university hospital.PARTICIPANTS: The study wascompleted in the Traumatological and Othopaedic Lab in the Affiliated Nanfang Hospital of the Southern Medical University from July 2001 to July 2003. Four New Zealand rabbits,whose weights varied from 1.0 to 1.5 kg, were provided without sexlimit by the Animal Experiment Center of the First Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.METHODS:The reverse transcription virus carriersof the hBMP-7 were constructed,and then the BMSCs were transfected by the virus containing target genes. The expression of the hBMP-7 protein was detected with the immunohistochemical method. The cell proliferation, cycle and ALP synthesis were respectively detected with the MTT method,flow cytometer and NPP method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary results: ① the detection results of the cell proliferation. ② the detection results of the ALP.Secondary results: ① the expression of the hBMP-7 protein in the transfected BMSCs. ② the detection results of the cell cycle.RESULTS: After the BMP-7 gene transfection, there was hBMP-7 positive expression in the BMSCs of the rabbits,using the immunohistochemical detection. There was no significant change in the BMSCs proliferation of the rabbits after the hBMP-7 gene transfection ( P ＞ 0.05). Compared with the ALP synthesis of the transfected BMSCs(294. 592 ± 86. 567) nkat/L, there was significant difference in the ALP synthesis of the empty carrier transfected BMSCs(155. 231 ±86.567) nkat/L and the un-transfected BMSCs (160. 866 ±91. 585)nkat/L( F =5. 660, P ＜ 0. 05).CONCLUSION: After the BMP-7 gene transfection, the BMSCs can synthesize and express the extragenous BMP-7. The hBMP gene transfection can promote the differentiation of the BMSCs cultured in vitro into the osteoblasts and can be used as the seed cells in the construction of the histological en gineering bone tissues and in further application.

Objective To investigate whether tissue engineered bone with implanted vascular bun-dles can up-regulate release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in models of femoral defect in rabbits.Methods Thirty-two rabbits were randomized into 2 even groups.In both groups, a segmental bone defect of 15 mm in length was made at the left femur before a tissue engineered bone was inserted into the defect.In the experimental group, a femoral vascular bundle was implanted into the tissue engineered bone.In the control group, there was no vascular implantation.At 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after implantation, samples were taken to determine new bone formation by histology and expression level of VEGF by immuno-histochemistry.Results The new bone formation was significantly higher in the experimental group at the end of 4, 8, and 12 weeks(P < 0.05) .The expression level of VEGF in the experimental group was also significantly higher than in the control group at all time points after operation, and the expression of VEGF peaked at 4 weeks.Conclusion Tissue engineered bone with vascular bundle implanted can up-regulate VEGF release in models of femoral defect in rabbits.

Objective To introduce the transfer of anterolateral thigh flap with iliotibial tract in repair of massive skin and soft tissue defects of the forearm and reconstruction of extension or flexion of the forearm. Methods Eight cases of complicated raw wounds of the forearm were repaired with transfer of anterolateral thigh flap with iliotibial tract. Flexor tendons of 3 cases and extensor tendons of 5 cases were repaired with iliotibial tract. The axial vessel of the flap was used to rebuild blood supply of the hand. Results All the flaps survived completely. A follow-up ranging from 3 months to 2.5 years re- vealed that the reconstructed forearms were good in appearance and soft in texture and restored protective sensation. Affected limbs could perform extension or flexion. Total range of motion (TRM) of the hands was excellent in 6 cases and poor in 2. Conclusion Anterolateral thigh flap with iliotibial tract can not only repair soft tissue defects of the forearm, but also reconstruct the main extension or flexion of the forearm simultaneously.

To explore the effect of different processing methods and conditions of coumarin and volatile compounds in Angelica Dahuricae Radix and their change regularity, in order to optimize and establish appropriate drying methods and conditions. After being cleaned, fresh Angelica Dahuricae Radix herbs were baked, sun-dried, shade-dried, sun-dried after sulfur-fumigation, dried by quick-lime embedding, freeze-dried, microwave-dried. Finally, 24 groups of samples were obtained after being mashed and passing through the 60-mesh screen. The HPLC-PDA method was adopted to simultaneously determine the content of coumarin compounds. The GC-MS method was used to determine the content of volatile compounds. The principal component analysis (PCA) was made on the standardized analysis results for the 24 groups of samples processed with different drying methods. According to the PCA results, the comprehensive scores of coumarin and volatile compounds in Angelica Dahuricae Radix herbs processed with different methods in the order from high to low were that unpeeled and dried by quicklime embedding > unpeeled and dried with hot-air at 100 degrees C > unpeeled and dried with hot-air at 40 degrees C > peeled and infrared-dried > peeled and dried with hot-air at 60 degrees C > peeled and dried with hot-air at 40 degrees C > peeled and sun-dried > peeled and dried with hot-air at 60 degrees C > peeled and dried with hot-air at 100 degrees C > peeled and microwave-dried > peeled and dried with hot-air at 80 degrees C > unpeeled and sun-dried > unpeeled and dried with sulfur-fumigation > peeled and dried with sulfur-fumigation > unpeeled and dried with hot-air at 120 degrees C > unpeeled and freeze-dried > unpeeled and infrared-dried > peeled and dried with hot-air at 120 degrees C > peeled and freeze-dried > peeled and dried by quicklime embedding > unpeeled and dried with hot-air at 80 degrees C > peeled and shade-dried > unpeeled and shade-dried > unpeeled and microwave-dried. According to the findings, different drying processing methods have certain impacts on the content coumarin and volatile compounds in Angelica Dahuricae Radix herbs. The traditional method of drying by quicklime embedding is recommended as the optimum origin processing method of Angelica Dahuricae Radix, which is followed by the method for being peeled and dried with hot-air at 100 degrees C.
