BACKGROUND:Scholars are stil looking for ideal bone tissue-engineered scaffolds, and three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is a novel construction method. In the meanwhile, bone extracel ular matrix is becoming a hotspot in osteogenic induction. OBJECTIVE:To construct the polycaprolactone/bone extracel ular matrix scaffold using 3D printing technology and co-culture method, and to detect its osteogenic property. METHODS:216 3D-printed polycaprolactone scaffolds were divided into group A (96 pores, n=72) and group B(48 pores, n=144). Passage 5 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from Sprague-Dawley rats were seeded onto the two kinds of polycaprolactone scaffolds, and the group A was used for alizarin red staining and Masson staining, while the group B for col agen and glycosaminoglycan detection at 1, 2 and 3 weeks of incubation. Afterwards, the scaffolds at 1, 2 and 3 weeks of culture were decel ularized and labeled as groups AE1, AE2, AE3, BE1, BE2 and BE3. Then passage 5 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from Sprague-Dawley rats were seeded onto each scaffold again, and the former three groups underwent alizarin red staining, and the latter three were used for calcium, alkaline phosphatase activity and DNA quantitative analysis at 1, 2 and 3 weeks of culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Masson staining, glycosaminoglycan and hydroxyproline quantitative analysis showed that the extracel ular matrix on the composite scaffold increased with time. Alkaline phosphatase activity revealed that the composite scaffold had a significantly stronger osteogenic differentiation than the normal polycaprolactone scaffold (P<0.05). Alizarin red staining and calcium quantitative analysis showed that the mineralization of the composite scaffold was more obvious than that of the normal polycaprolactone scaffold (P<0.05), but the total DNA analysis did not differ significantly between scaffolds. These results suggest that the composite scaffold with extracel ular matrix is constructed successful y using the 3D technology and co-culture method and exhibits a better osteoinductivity.

Objective To observe the effect of Minocycline on RP process of retinal pigmentarydegeneration rd mice[C3H/HeN(Pde6brd-/rd-)]. Methods 40 rd mice were divided into ten groupsrandomly:5 experimental groups and 5 control groups,4 rd mice in each group.The experimental groupreceived intraperitoneal injection of minocycline 22.5mg/kg while the control group received saline 10ml/k2 every day from the posmatal day 1(P1).Mice were sacrificed at P1,P7,P14,P21 and P28respectively.Eyeballs were enucleated to carry out histology observation and apoptosis cell detection.Meanwhile,to statistically analyze the number of retinal photoreceptor cells,the thickness of outer nuclearlayer(ONL)and the number of apoptosis cells. Results (1)Photoreceptor cell began to apoptosis onP7,peaked on P14,and totally disappeared on P28.(2)No statistically significant differences were foundof the number of photoreceptor cells and the thickness of ONL on P7 between the experimental group andthe control group.(3)The number of photoreceptor cells and the thickness of ONL in the experimentalwere more than that in the control group at P14,P21,P28 respectively,the differences are statisticallysignificant(P＜0.05).(4)The apoptotic cells on ONL were less in the experimental group than that in thecontrol group on P7 and P14 respectively,the difference are statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusions Minocycline appears to protect photoreceptor cell from apoptosis in the early stage of theretinal degeneration mice,but it may not completely prevent RP from occurrence.

Objective To study the predictive value of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) in the improvement of survival rate in patients with severe sepsis.Methods There was a prospective case-control study in 50 patients with severe sepsis from October 2014 to October 2015.According to the international guidelines for severe sepsis and septic shock set in 2012,all patients were divided into sepsis group (n =16),severe sepsis group (n =14) and septic shock group (n =20),and these patients were further divided into to survival group (n =22) and non-survival group (n =28) as per patients surviving within 28 days.Gender,age,ethnic,and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation score (APACHE Ⅱ) were recorded.H-FABP,B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP),creatine kinase (CK),creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB),and troponin-T (cTn-T) were determined within 6 hours after admission.The statistical software SPSS21.0 was used to do t test,test,and the receiver operating characteristic curve for comparison between groups.Results H-FABP in septic shock group was higher than severe sepsis group and sepsis group (P ＜ 0.01).The 28-day mortality of septic group (80％) and severe sepsis group (71.4％) were higher than sepsis group (12.5％) (P ＜ 0.01).Non-survival' s H-FABP,BNP,cTn-T,CK,CKMB was higher than survivals (P ＜ 0.05).Through the ROC of H-FABP (AUC=0.748,P=0.003,95％ C I:0.605-0.890) and BNP (AUC =0.714,P=0.010,95％ CI:0.573-0.856),it shows that H-FABP is better than BNP.when H-FABP take 9.902 ng/mL,the sensitivity of 82.1％,specificity of 63.6％.H-FABP,BNP has a certain value in 28-day mortality prediction.Conclusions Sepsis shock has significantly higher 28-day mortality than sepsis and severe sepsis.Compared with BNP,H-FABP has greater predictive value in sepsis patients,it will increase along with the aggravation of the disease;it can also predict 28-day mortality.
