To prepare an experimental caprine model of tibia bone diaphyseal defect used in tissue engineering and defect repair with the tissue engineering method, 27 Chinese caprines were divided into 3 groups: blank, control, and test. The 20mm left tibia diaphyseal defect of each caprine was made and fixed with plates. The blank group was not filled with coral hydroxyapatite (CHAP) or bone marrow stroma cell (BMSc). The control group and the experimental group were filled with CHAP and CHAP/BMSc respectively. The results of three groups were evaluated by X ray examination, optical density index of X ray film and histology 4, 8, 12 weeks after operation. The biomechanical characteristics of the specimens of the CHAP group and the CHAP/BMSc group were tested by three point bending test 12 weeks after operation.The results showed that the optical density indices of X ray film of the blank group were not significantly different 4, 8, 12 weeks after operation and indices of the CHAP group were significantly smaller than those of the CHAP/BMSc group ( P

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 environmental change of regeneration of peripheral nerve fiber can accelerate the regeneration of nerve fiber and the recovery of nerve function. Physiotherapy can improve the local microcirculation of the injured area, and promote and stimulate the recovery course of trauma. Therefore, whether choosing different physiotherapies and controlling irradiation dose can speed up the regeneration of nerve fiber?OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of different physiotherapies in promoting the regeneration of injured nerve fiber.DESIGN:Randomized grouping and controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Laboratory of Anthropotomy and Histo-Embryology Department,Peking University Health Science Center.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of Anthropotomy and Histo-Embryology Department, Peking University Health Science Center, from September 2001 to September 2002. Fifteen adult male SD rats, weighting 185-220 g, were selected.INTERVENTIONS: The model of sciatic nerve injury was established and randomly assigned to 3 groups. Bio-spectrum group and infrared group with 5rats in each received the corresponding physical irradiation. Injury control group was given no irradiation. The slices of sciatic nerve at the operation side of the animals in the three groups were collected on day 14 after operation. The degeneration rate of the injured nerve fiber was observed under the optical microscope to make indirect assessment of the protective effect of physiotherapy after the nerve was injured.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The degeneration rate of nerve fibers at the breakpoint and at 4 points near the spinal cord ( 1,2,3,4 mm) and away from the spinal cord( 1,2,3,4 mm).difference in the degeneration rate of nerve fibers at the breakpoint away from the spinal cord in bio-spectrum group and infrared group as compared with the degeneration rate of nerve fibers in bio-spectrum group(68% ) and infrared group(89% ) was obviously reduced and that in control group was the the spinal cord in the 3 groups showed decreasing trend: the closer to the spinal cord, the fewer the degenerative nerve fibers. The number of degenerative nerve fibers was the smallest in bio-spectrum group, second smallest in infrared group, and the largest in control group.CONCLUSION: The assisting physiotherapy can decrease the number of regenerative nerve fibers, thus promoting and accelerating their recovery. Irradiation with bio-spectrum equipment is more effective.

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.

A quantitative analysis method of multi-components with a single marker (QAMS) for simultaneous determination of six marker compounds (one from phenolic acids and five from phthalides) in Chuanxiong Rhizoma was established by applying HPLC and using butylidenephthalide as the internal reference substance. And also the feasibility and accuracy of the established method for quality evaluation and application of Chuanxiong Rhizoma were investigated and validated. The analysis was performed with the mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile - 0.2% aqueous formic acid. The flow rate was 1.0 mL . min-1 and the column temperature was maintained at 30 °C. The detection wavelengths were set at 252 nm (for ferulic acid, Z-ligustilide, and butylidenephthalide) and 266 nm (for senkyunolide I, senkyunolide A, and coniferyl ferulate), separately, and 20 µL was injected for analysis with gradient elution. The results showed that there were no significant differences observed between the HPLC-QAMS method and the external standard method (RSD <5%). The relative correction factors were credible (RSD < 5%) in changed chromatographic conditions. The established HPLC-QAMS method can be accurately used for simultaneously evaluating and controlling the quality of Chuanxiong Rhizoma with multi-components.

The 13 nm gold nanoparticles ( AuNPs ) were synthesized through the reduction of HAuCl4 by sodium citrate and the glutathione was assembled on the AuNPs. Under the experiment conditions, glutathione-modified AuNPs ( GSH-AuNPs ) with negative charge presented a wine red color owing to the electrostatic repulsion between nanoparticals. Upon the addition of neurogenin 3 ( ngn3 ) peptide, the aggregation of GSH-AuNPs was induced by ngn3 peptide under a certain concentration of salt. The color of AuNPs solution changed from red to blue as a function of the ngn3 peptide concentration. Thus, a rapid detection method for ngn3 peptide using GSH-AuNPs as colorimetric probe was established. The optimal experiment conditions were equilibrium time=10 min, pH=6. 0, CNaCl=100 mmol/L. Under the optimum conditions, the assay showed a linear response range of 20-300 μg/L for the peptide with a detection limit being 8 μg/L and exhibited excellent selectivity for ngn3 peptide.
