Objective:To evaluate the protective effect of Diclipterachinensis polysaccharide P2B on liver cell line L-02 injury in-duced by carbon tetrachloride ( CCl4 ) . Methods:The human liver L-02 cells were cultured, and the injury model was built by CCl4 . The L-02 cells were divided into the normal control group, the CCl4-damaged group, and the P2B sample groups (0. 125, 0. 250 and 0. 500 mg· ml-1 ). The contents of alanine aminotransferase ( ALT), aspartate aminotransferase ( AST), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by MTT assay. Results:Compared with the CCl4-damaged group, P2B could improve the activity of L-02 cells, and the activity of AST and ALT in the supernatant was significantly reduced, and the content of SOD in the cells was increased and that of MDA was decreased. Conclusion:P2B can significantly prevent L-02 cells from the damage induced by CCl4 in a dose-dependent manner, and the mechanism may be related with the anti-oxidative activity of P2B.

Objective: To prepare a composite membrane by chitosan/β-sodium glycerophosphate(CS/β-GP) thermosensitive hydrogel combined with stromal cell derived factor-1(SDF-1) and observe its biological characteristics in vitro. Methods: Different doses of SDF-1 were added into CS/β-GP solution and then the thermosensitive gel time was measured. The SDF-1/CS/β-GP solution was membrane paved and dried to prepare composite membranes. The morphological characteristics were observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM). Composite membranes were placed into cell culture medium, and the supernatant(n=3) was extracted after standing at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 h, respectively. The concentration of SDF-1 in the solution was measured. Bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) were cultured in the Transwell room, and the composite membranes containing different concentrations of SDF-1 were placed in the lower chamber. There were four groups(n=3): Group M0 used CS/β-GP membrane(control group), Group M1, M2, M3 used SDF-1/CS/β-GP membrane(SDF-1 was 100, 200, 400 ng/mL respectively). After culture for 6, 12 and 24 h, the cells under the membrane were preserved and Giemsa stained and counted. The absorbance(OD) value was measured by MTT method to calculate the cell proliferation rate. SPSS 19.0 was used for multi-factor analysis of variance. Results : After adding a certain amount of SDF-1 into CS/β-GP solution, the gel time did not change significantly(P>0.05). The SDF-1/CS/β-GP membrane was translucent and porous at 37 ℃. In this experiment, the volumic mass of SDF-1 released by SDF-1/CS/β-GP composite membrane increased gradually with the experimental time(P<0.01). Transwell cell chemotaxis test showed that the number of BMSCs cells with directional migration increased with the prolongation of observation time(P<0.01) and the increase of SDF-1 volumic mass(P<0.01). In MTT test, the OD value of migration cell solution increased with the prolongation of time(P<0.01) and the increase of SDF-1 volumic mass(P<0.01). Conclusion The SDF-1/CS/β-GP composite membrane has a porous structure and biological activity of chemotactic BMSCs directional migration. It is a potential membrane for guided tissue regeneration.

Extracellular matrix (ECM) components confer biomechanical properties, maintain cell phenotype and mediate tissue homeostasis. ECM remodeling is complex and plays a key role in both physiological and pathological processes. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of enzymes responsible for ECM degradation and have been accepted as a key regulator in ECM remodeling. In this mini-review, we summarize MMPs categories, functions and the targeted substrates. We then discuss current understanding of the role of MMPs-mediated events, including inflammation reaction, angiogenesis, cellular activities, etc., in ECM remodeling in the context of regenerative medicine.

Objective To systematically evaluate the qualitative studies on the care experience of caregivers for primary malignant bone tumors patients,in order to provide references for the construction of bone tumor support care system.Methods The Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang Database,VIP database,and China Biomedical Literature Database were searched by computer to collect qualitative studies on the care experience of caregivers of malignant bone tumors patients from the establishment of the databases to November 2022.The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI)Quality Evaluation Criteria for Quality Research in Evidence-Based Health Care Centers(2016),and the results were integrated by a pooled integration approach.Results A total of 12 studies were included;48 themes were extracted and summarized into 9 categories,which were combined into 3 integrated results.Integration result 1 is obvious physical and mental disturbance.Integration result 2 is multiple role maladaptation.Integration result 3 is positive growth after adjustment.Conclusion Caregivers of patients with malignant bone tumors have serious physical and mental burden and are eager for multiple support.It is suggested that medical staff pay attention to the multi-dimensional needs of patients,formulate personalized support strategies,help caregivers adapt and transform their roles,and promote the post-traumatic growth of caregivers.

Integrin alphavbeta3 plays a major role in various signaling pathways, cell apoptosis, and tumor angiogenesis. To examine the functions and roles of alphavbeta3 integrin, a stable CHO-677 cell line expressing the murine alphavbeta3 heterodimer (designated as "CHO-677-malphavbeta3" cells) was established using a highly efficient lentiviral-mediated gene transfer technique. Integrin subunits alphav and beta3 were detected at the gene and protein levels by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA), respectively, in the CHO-677-malphavbeta3 cell line at the 20th passage, implying that these genes were successfully introduced into the CHO-677 cells and expressed stably. A plaque-forming assay, 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50), real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, and IFA were used to detect the replication levels of Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in the CHO-677-malphavbeta3 cell line. After infection with FMDV/O/ZK/93, the cell line showed a significant increase in viral RNA and protein compared with CHO-677 cells. These findings suggest that we successfully established a stable alphavbeta3-receptor-expressing cell line with increased susceptibility to FMDV. This cell line will be very useful for further investigation of alphavbeta3 integrin, and as a cell model for FMDV research.

Objective:To compare the mid-term clinical efficacy of total hip replacement (THR) and closed reduction and external fixation (CREF) in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 155 elderly patients with unilateral intertrochanteric fractures admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from June 2011 to June 2019, including 63 males and 92 females, aged 70-98 years [(80.1±7.0)years]. According to Jensen-Evans classification, the type of fracture was type I in 2 patients, type II in 21, type III in 24, type IV in 36, type V in 67, and type R in 5. A total of 85 patients were treated by THR (THR Group) and 70 patients by CREF (CREF group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion rate, length of hospital stay, postoperative complication rate, Harris hip score at postoperative 1 year, excellent and good rate of hip joint function, and 12-item short form health survey (SF-12) physical component summary score (SF-12PCS) of postoperative quality of life, mortality rate within 1 year and survival rate were compared between the two groups.Results:The follow-up time was 1.0-9.5 years [(3.9±2.4)years]. A total of, 140 patients were followed up for more than one year, 2 patients were lost, 13 patients died within 1 year after surgery. The operation time [77(60, 100)minutes] and intraoperative blood loss [(290.6±182.3)ml] in THR group were significantly longer or more than those in CREF Group [55(50, 70)minutes, (30.5±25.0)ml] ( P<0.05). The blood transfusion rate [78%(66/85)] in THR group was significantly higher than that in CREF Group [21%(15/70)] ( P<0.05). The length of hospital stay and incidence of postoperative complications were similar between the two groups ( P>0.05). One year after operation, the Harris hip score [(84.4±15.1)points], excellent and good rate of hip joint function [76%(63/83)] and SF-12 PCS score [(16.2±1.0)points] in THR group were significantly higher than those in CREF group [(69.0±21.6)points, 43%(27/63), (14.1±2.2)points] ( P<0.05). The mortality within 1 year after operation was similar between the two groups ( P>0.05). The survival curve analysis showed that the survival status in THR group was better than that in CREF group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with CREF, THR has better joint function and quality of life, as well as a higher overall survival rate when applied to treat intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly patients.

Background and objective As computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer becomes more common in China, so too does detection of pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs). Although anumber of national or international guidelines about pulmonary GGNs have been published,most of these guidelines are produced by respiratory, oncology or radiology physicians, who might not fully understand the progress of modern minimal invasive thoracic surgery, and these current guidelines may overlook or underestimate the value of thoracic surgery in the management of pulmonary GGNs. In addition, the management for pre-invasive adenocarcinoma is still controversial. Based onthe available literature and experience from Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, we composed this consensus about diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary GGNs. For lesions which are considered as adenocarcinoma in situ, chest thin layer CT scan follow-up is recommended and resection can only be adopt in some specific cases and excision should not exceed single segment resection. For lesions which are considered as minimal invasive adenocarcinoma, limited pulmonary resection or lobectomy is recommended. For lesions which are considered as early stage invasive adenocarcinoma, pulmonary resection is recommend and optimal surgical methods depend on whether ground glass component exist, location, volume and number of the lesions and physical status of patients. Principle of management of multiple pulmonary nodules is that primary lesions should be handled with priority, with secondary lesions taking into account.
