AIM: Based on the water-solubility of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with different relative molecular weight (RMW) and sodium alginate, we investigated the porous structure and property of calcium alginate scaffold with different RMW and dosages of PEG, which was used as porogenic agent. METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Key Laboratory of Biomedical Engineering and Biomaterials, Jinan University from March 2006 to September 2007.①PEG at different RMWs (Mw=2 000, 4 000, 6 000, 8 000, 10 000, 20 000, 35 000) and different dosages (mass fraction=0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06) were added into sodium alginate solution at 0.02 mass fraction. Then alginate was crosslinked, solidified and molded into indiscerptible film and graininess through Ca2+. PEG was dissolved by water. Therefore, a mass of porous structures could be formed in alginate.②Water content and swelling ratio of alginate was tested. Scanning electron microscope was used to observe the porous configuration. RESULTS: ①Porous alginate scaffold could be obtained through PEG and it exhibited good intensity and toughness, with water content reaching 92%. The scaffold could be formed into film and graininess.②Scanning electron microscope results revealed that the distribution of porous structure was uniformed. The aperture was 43.75 ?m-2.8 mm, and could be controlled by PEG's RMW and dosage. Inflated and uniform aperture structure was harvested when RMW of PEG was 4 000 and 6 000. CONCLUSION: Porous alginate structure can be obtained through regulating PEG's RMW and dosage. High water content and porosity of alginate scaffold material can be used in cell culture of tissue engineering and used as controlled release matrix of bio-active component.

Objective:To evaluate the left ventricular segmental strains,global strains and systolic function in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography(3D-STI),and to clarify the characteristics of early myocardial strain changes after PCI and their clinical values.Methods:Thirty patients received PCI for left anterior descending branch disease were enrolled as case group;at the same period, 30 healthy middleaged and elderly people were selected as control group.After two-dimensional ultrasound data were obtained regularly, the myocardial motion and systolic functions of the patients in two groups were detected with 3D-STI, and all segmental strain, global longitudinal strain(GLS), global radial strain(GRS), global circumferential strain (GCS)and global area strain(GAS) values of left ventricle and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) values were collected.Results:Compared with control group, the global strain values of the patients in case group were lower than those in control group;9/16 longitudimal strain(LS), 8/16 circumferential strain(CS), 5/16 radial strain(RS) and 11/16 area strain(AS) were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).The decrease of strain value was mainly concentrated in the anterior segment of the anterior wall, the anterior segment of the anterior wall, anterior apical segment, anterior septal basal segment, anterior septal segment, posterior septal basal segment, posterior septal segment, and posterior septal segment.The GLS,GAS and GCS in case group were negatively correlated with LVEF(r=-0.819,r=-0.897,r=-0.807,P<0.0001);the GRS was postively correlated with LVEF(r=0.862,P<0.0001).Conclusion:3D-STI can quantitatively analyze the segmental wall motion of left ventricle and could apply the parameters to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy after PCI.

Objective To study the expression of a novel inhibitor of apptosis and survivin in cervical carcinoma and its relationship to the expression of Bcl-2.Methods Using SP immunohistochemical technique, we examined the expression of survivin and Bcl-2 in 59 cervical invasive squamous cell carcinomas.Results Survivin was expressed in 41 of 59 cases(69.5%) of cervical carcinomas. In contrast, no expression of survivin in normal cervical tissues was observed. Overexpression of survivin was related to the tumor grade and clinical stage. Survivin positive cases were strongly associated with Bcl-2 expression(80% versus 35.7%;P＜0.005).Conclusion Apoptosis inhibition by survivin abnormal expression, alone or in cooperation with Bcl-2, may participate in the onset and progression of cervical carcinoma. Survivin is a new diagnostic/therapeutic target in cervical cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of Snail in bladder urothelial carcinoma and evaluate its relationship with E-cadherin and a subset of T cell groups.MethodsImmunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Snail and E-cadherin proteins in tissue from 156 cases of bladder urothelial carcinoma and 80 cases of the para-cancerous mucosa. The proteins expression status was analyzed with clinico-pathological data. Meanwhile, correlations with Snail and CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+ were analyzed.ResultsThe positive rate of Snail in bladder urothelial carcinoma was 65.4％ , which was significantly higher than that in para-cancerous mucosa (48.8％). The expression of Snail was significantly correlated with the clinical stage, pathological grade, tumor quantity, distant metastasis and tumor recurrence.There was negative correlation between the expression of Snail and E-cadherin in bladder urothelial carcinoma. Positive expression of Snail had a negative correlation with the number of CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ , whereas it had no significant correlation with the number of CD8+.ConclusionsBy inhibition of the E-cadherin expression and inducing local immunosuppression, Snail might play an important role in the process of the invasion and metastasis of bladder urothelial carcinoma.
