BACKGROUND:Three-dimensional printing technique has been applied in medical fields since it was invented in the end of 20th century. Recently it has been widely used in manufacturing scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE:To review the basic concept of the scaffold for bone tissue engineering, the basic requirements for three-dimensional printing technique in scaffold engineering, different materials used in bone tissue engineering, the advantages and limitations of three-dimensional printing technique and the outlook of three-dimensional printing technique applied in manufacturing scaffold for bone tissue engineering. METHODS: The first author did a computer-aided retrieval of the MEDLINE database, Science Direct database, CNKI database, and CQVIP database for articles relevant to three-dimensional printing technique used in manufacturing scaffolds for bone tissue engineering published between January 1990 and February 2015. The key words were three-dimensional printing, tissue engineering, rapid prototyping technology, scaffold, materials in English and Chinese, respectively. Repetitive studies were excluded, and 33 of 52 related literatures were adopted in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional printing technique has many advantages such as high resolution, high velocity and the freedom to build unlimited geometries. There are some requirements for the powder and binder used to construct bone tissue engineering scaffolds using the three-dimensional printing technique, such as the flowability, stability and wettability. A wide range of materials can be used: synthetic and natural polymers, ceramics, as wel as composites of the aforementioned. Various kinds of powder take responsibility of different features of scaffolds, resulting from the advantages and disadvantages of different materials. Although this technique has some limitations such as high cost and the difficulty of commercial production, its application stil has a bright future.

Objective To investigate the current prevalence of depressive disorder and the associated factors in pa?tients with essential hypertensive from cardiovascular divisions of tertiary general hospitals. Methods A Chinese version of Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fourth Edition) Axis I Disor?ders was conducted by five mental health professionals on 876 essential hypertensive outpatients at cardiovascular divi?sions of tertiary general hospital. Data on the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of these hypertensive pa?tients were also collected. Results The current prevalence of depressive disorders among essential hypertensive outpa?tients of tertiary hospitals was 16.6%(145/876). Risk factors for depressive disorders in hypertensive patients included fe?male gender (OR=2.817, 95%CI:1.161~6.885), being 65-year-old and older (OR=1.747, 95%CI:1.118~2.688), non-marital status (OR=2.023, 95%CI:1.203~3.398), gradeⅢhypertension (OR=1.776, 95%CI:1.226~2.333) and car?diovascular diseases (OR=2.018, 95%CI:1.427~2.587). Conclusion Essential hypertensive outpatients, who receive med?ical services at cardiovascular divisions of tertiary general hospital, have high prevalence of depressive disorders. Clini?cians should pay more attention to the mental health of outpatients with essential hypertension.

Objective To compare the levels of murine basophils distribution in different organs and analyze the characteristics of CD4+T cells activation/differentiation regulated by basophils.Methods Firstly,the mononuclear leukocytes were isolated separately from periphery blood,liver,spleen,lung and lymph nodes and the percentages of FcεR I+CD49b+ basophils in different organs were investigated.Secondly,liver basophils were purified by immuno-microbead strategy and co-clutured with different cytokines for 24 h.Apoptosis status of basophils was detected by Annexin V straining method.Thirdly,Mice were subcutaneously implanted with a miniosmotic pump containing 5 μg IL-3.At day 7 after implantation,liver mononuclear cells were harvested and the percentages of basophils were analyzed.Finally,Th1/Th2 polarization influenced by basophils orientated cytokines was investigated when naive OT-Ⅱ CD4 T cells were stimulated with spleen dentritic cells and OVA peptides.Results The percentage of murine basophils in mononuclear leukocytes of liver was significantly higher than that of periphery blood,spleen,lung and lymph nodes under physiological condition.Both of in vitro and ex vivo experiments showed that IL-3 played an inhibitory role on apoptosis of basophils.Cytokines secreted by basophils was investigated to induce Th2 polarization and inhibit Th1 response when naive OT-Ⅱ CD4 T cells were co-cultured with spleen dentritic cells and OVA peptides.Conclusion Th2 response was enhanced and Th1 response was down-regulated by murine basophils,which implied that basophils might participate in the construction of liver specific physiological immuno-tolerant microenvironment.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of MRCP compared with ultrasound in patients with cholangiopancreatic disease by ROC curve. Methods The data of 62 patients with suspected cholangiopancreatic disease undergoing both MRCP and ultrasound were retrospectively studied. ROC analysis was performed by ROCKIT software. Results Area under the ROC curve of MRCP was 0.739. Area under the ROC curve of US was 0. 930. ROC analysis showed that these two modalities were effective in diagnosing cholangiopancreatic disease, with MRCP being more effective than ultrasound, especially for the diagosis of lower biliary tract diseases. Conclusion MRCP combined with MRCP source images is of great help in the diagnosis of pancreaticobiliary duct diseases.

Objective To explore the ultrasonographic, clinical and histopathological characteristics features of primary uterus lymphoma. Methods The clinical, sonographic and histopathological characteristics of nine patients who were pathologically comfirmed as primary uterus lymphoma were analyzed. Results Among the nine cases of primary uterus lymphoma, three lesions were found in the uterine bodys and 6 were found in the cervixes. Two patients with uterine body lymphoma had painless pelvic masses and six patients with cervix lymphoma had contact bleeding, including irregular vaginal bleeding in four patients. In sonograms, six lesions showed remarkable hypoechogenicity with homogeneous internal echogenicity;the margins of most lesions were circumcribed;all lesions had posterior enhancement. In color Doppler lfow imaging, abundant vascularities were detected in eight lesions. In the cases of uterine body lymphoma, all of the uterine bodys showed diffuse symmetrical enlargement without disruption of the endometria, while in ifve cases of cervix lymphoma, the tumors showed the shape of lobule. The pathological examination showed that all tumors were diffuse B-cell type non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Conclusions Primary uterus lymphoma has some clinical and ultrasonic features, including contact bleeding or irrgular vaginal bleeding, diffuse symmetrical enlargement of uterine body, complete endometria, remarkable hypoechogenicity, homogeneous echogenicity and posterior enhancement. Final diagnosis depends on the histopathology.

Background Recent studies have confirmed that sulforaphane (SFN) can activate multiple pathways,and promote the expression of the antioxidants in cells.Thioredoxin (Trx) plays an important role in maintaining the intracellular redox in the steady state.Objective This study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of SFN on Trx expression in bovine trabecular meshwork cells (BTMCs) cultured in vitro.Methods BTMCs were cultured in vitro and identified by morphological evaluation.The third generation of BTMCs were cultured in the medium with 0,10,20 and 30 μmol/L SFN for 30 minutes.Real-time PCR was applied to measure the expression of Trx mRNA in BTMCs.The BTMCs were randomly divided into normal control group,LY294002 group,U0126 group,SFN group,LY294002 +SFN group and U0126+SFN group.The expressions of Nrf2 protein and Trx protein in each group were measured by Western blot.Results The BTMCs was successfully cultured in vitro.The expressions of Trx mRNA were significantly different among the different concentrationss of SFN treatment (F=88.090,P＜0.01).The expressions of Trx protein and Nrf2 protein in the LY294002 +SFN group,U0126 +SFN group and SFN group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group (all at P ＜ 0.01).The expressions of Trx protein and Nrf2 protein in the LY294002+SFN group and U0126+SFN group were significantly higher than those in the SFN group (all at P＜0.01).Conelusions SFN can activate Nrf2 by phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular regulated protein kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling pathways,which can increase the expression level of Trx in BTMCs cultured in vitro.
