Objective To translate the English version of Comprehensive Frailty Assessment Instrument (CFAI) into Chinese and evalu-ate its reliability and validity. Methods CFAI was translated into Chinese with the Brislin's translation mode. From May to July, 2015, 200 community aged people in Shijiazhuang, China were assessed with the Chinese version of CFAI and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), and 30 of them were assessed with CFAI again after a week. The content validity was rated by six experts of gereology. The total scores of CFAI and WHOQOL-BREF were analyzed with Pearson's correlation, as well as the scores of CFAI test and retest. The CFAI were analyzed with Factor Analysis. The Cronbach's α was tested. Results There were 23 items in 4 dimensions. The content validity index was 0.782. Six factors were extracted by Factor Analysis and the cumulated variance was 64.05%. The total score of CFAI correlated with the score of WHOQOL-BREF (r=-0.764, P<0.001). The Cronbach's α was 0.704~0.897 in dimensions (P<0.001), and the r= 0.604~0.941 (P<0.001) between test and retest. Conclusion The Chinese version of CFAI is reliable and valid, that can be applied to evaluate frailty in community aged people.

BACKGROUND:The mechanical environment of skin tissue and spreading state of epithelial cels are closely related with the wound healing and scar formation process. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect of extracelular mechanical stimulation on cel spreading, to test the cel proliferation in order to analyze the effect of spreading form on cel proliferation and other physiological activities. METHODS: Cyclic sine wave mechanical stretching was exerted on immortalized human keratinocyte by using FX-4000 flexible substrate loading system, on the condition of 0.2 Hz and at frequency of 10% amplitudes. The spreading form was compared at 0, 24 and 48 hours, the cel proliferation was analyzed with flow cytometry, and the distribution of vinculin was analyzed with immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: human keratinocyte would keep the spreading state and could induce more cel proliferation by 24 hours mechanical stretching stimulation. Conversely, after stimulated for 48 hours, the morphology of the human keratinocyte was significantly changed, and the number of human keratinocyte in the division stage was larger than that in the static control group; under tensile stress, the distribution of vinculin was transformed from the surrounding nucleus membrane area to the cel edge. The results indicate that proper mechanical stimulate can increase cel proliferation with keeping cel spreading and adhesion state; the stimulating time of continuous cyclic stretching is the major factor to determine cel spreading morphology and adhesion regions of immortalized human keratinocyte.
5.Expression of TGF-βRⅡ and fibronectin in developing mouse kidney
Acta Anatomica Sinica 2010;41(2):281-284
ObjectiveTo observe the chronological and spatial expressions of transforming growth factor-β receptor typeⅡ(TGF-βRⅡ)and fibronectin (Fn )in developing mouse kidney and investigate the relationship between the expressions and kidney development. Methods Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used to observe and measure the expression of TGF-βRⅡ and Fn in embryos and postnatal mouse kidneys. Results The expression of TGF-βRⅡ was noticed in all stages of glomeruli, renal tubes and collecting ducts, and increased gradually with ages; The expression of Fn was noticed too in all stages of glomeruli, renal tubes and collecting ducts, except for the comma-shaped bodies, and also increased gradually with ages. Conclusion TGF-β and Fn might play an important role in the development and maturation of mouse kidney.

BACKGROUND: The meniscal allograft transplantation has been proved good outcome in clinical, however, the source and matching restrict its application. By means of a patent technique of separating antigen, a new biological meniscus can be obtained.OBJECTIVE: To observe the histological changes of transplanted biological meniscus in goat's knee joint, in addition, to investigate the feasibility of reconstituting meniscus by using biological meniscus. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The animal experiment of goats was performed at the Central Laboratory in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between June 2005 and June 2006.MATEAIALS: A total of 15 healthy goats were used in the experiment. Fresh porcine meniscus was harvested for the preparing of biological meniscus.METHODS: The medial meniscus of goat was excised, and then the absent part was repaired using biological meniscus. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The animals were sacrificed at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 after operation. And the samples were detected by histology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Indian ink perfusion. RESULTS: The incision of all animals healed well, without infection or death. The transplanted meniscus healed well with the surrounding tissue, and the connection was tight. With time prolonged, the transplanted meniscus slowly soaked, and live cells existed inside the meniscus, but there were no live cells in about 1/4 district at 1 year after the surgery. Indian ink perfusion showed that the surrounding tissue grew inside and set up microcirculation, but only limited to 10% periphery of the meniscus (normal goat approximately 15%). The transplanted meniscus began the necrosis at 6 months after surgery. Under SEM, the surface of the meniscus became crude and cracked in some places, but still maintains the gross shape at 1 year after the surgery.CONCLUSION: There is no obvious rejection after the biological meniscus was transplanted into knee joint of goats. During the process of absorption, autologous tissue of goats can grow into and set up microcirculation in the transplanted meniscus. The transplanted meniscus protects the'knee cartilage notably, only slightly damage in cartilage can be observed.

Objective:To investigate influences of bicortical anchora ge on the values of natural frequency of dental implants. Methods: Using the commercial code of SolidWorks, 3-D models of a screw-shaped dental i mplant and a mandibular bone segment were generated. After the 3-D implant-bon e complex was meshed by ABAQUS software, effects of bicortical anchorage on the buccolingual and axial first-order natural frequencies of the implant were comp uted. Results:Bicortical anchorage increased the buccolingual na tural frequencies and the axial natural frequencies of the implants by a maximu m of 13.77% and 107.40% respectively. The apical anchorage depth in the cortical bone had an insignificant effect on further increase of implant stability. Conclusion:Bicortical anchorage can increase the stability of dental implants, especially in the axial direction.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays an important role in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer. The key to its carcinogenicity is related to the inhibition of β-catenin degradation, and the subsequent cytoplasmic accumulation and nuclear translocation of β-catenin, which activates the transcription of downstream target genes such as coding region instability determinant-binding protein (CRD-BP). In cancercells ,the expression of CRD-BP mediates the stabilization of β-Trcp, which in normal cells regulates the degradation of β-catenin. The activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, overexpression of β-catenin and CRDBP, and the upregulation of β-Trcp by CRD-BP play important roles in the initiation, progression, and metastasis of colorectal cancer.
