BACKGROUND: Previous studies have confirmed that nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen (nHAC) and mesenchymal stem cells for repair of bone defect have the ability of bone formation in vivo. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), nHAC composite in the repair of femoral defect in rats. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rat models of middle part of the femur defect were established and randomly assigned to two groups. Control group was implanted with BMSCs/nHAC composite. Experimental group was implanted with VEGF/BMSCs/nHAC composite. At 2, 4 and 8 weeks postoperation, imaging and histology observation of femoral samples were performed. At 8 weeks postoperation, scanning electron microscopy was performed in new bony callus environment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: nHAC composite implantation in the rats did not show rejection or inflammatory reaction. Moreover, bone formed rapidly using VEGF and BMSCs, nHAC composite, which exhibited better bone regeneration capacity compared with BMSCs/nHAC composite. The way of ossification mainly was endochondral ossification. It is presumed that VEGF promoted the formation of local microvessels, differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts, speeded up the speed of endochondral ossification, shortened bone repair time, and elevated the quality and velocity of osteanagenesis.

Objective To investigate the predictive factors and prognosis of early intrahepatic recurrence after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Clinicopathological dats of 184 HCC patients with intrahepatic recurrence after curative resection were collected.Thirteen clinicopathological factors and prognosis after recurrence were retrospectively analyzed. Results Univariate analysis showed that preoperative scrota alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)>100 ng/ml,tumour size>5 cm,venous invasion and intra-operative blood transfusion were predictive factors of early intrahepatic recurrence,and selum albumin<35 g/L was marginally predictive factor.Multivariate analysis showed that serum AFP>100 ng/ml,tumour size>5 cm and venous invasion were independent predictive factots of early intrahepatic recurrence.The survival of patients suffering from early recurrence was significantly shorter than those with late recurrence.with median survival period of 12 mos vs 18 mos(P=0.012).Conclusion Serum AFP,tumour size and venous invasion were independent predictive factors of early intrahepatic recurrence in HCC patients after radical resection of the primary tumor.Early intrahepatic recurrence implies poor prognosis.

Objective To observe and compare the clinical efficacies between electroacupuncture and warm needling in treating low back pain.Method Seventy-eight eligible low back pain patients were randomized into group A of 28 cases, group B of 26 cases, and group C of 24 cases. Group A was intervened by electroacupuncture, group B was by warm needling, and group C was by medication. The short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire, Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores (JOA), and Oswestry Disability Index were observed before and after treatment, and the therapeutic efficacies were compared.Result In group A, the McGill item scores [Sensory Pain Rating Index (S-PRI), Affective Pain Rating Index (A-PRI)] respectively after 1-week and 2-week treatment as well as in the 1-month and 3-month follow-up were significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.01,P<0.05). In group B and C, the McGill item scores after 2-week treatment and in the 1-month and 3-month follow-up were significantly different from that before treatment in the same group (P<0.01,P<0.05). The JOA and Oswestry scores were significantly changed respectively after 1-week and 2-week treatment and in the 1-month and 3-month follow-up in the three groups compared with that before treatment (P<0.05,P<0.01). After 1-week and 2-week treatment and in the 1-month and 3-month follow-up, the JOA and Oswestry scores in group A were significantly different from that in group C (P<0.05,P<0.01). In the 1-month and 3-month follow-up, the JOA scores in group B were significantly different from that in group C (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 85.7% in group A and 73.1% in group B, both significantly higher than 58.3% in group C (P<0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture and warm needling both can produce a significant efficacy in treating low back pain, but warm needling acts comparatively slowly and is less safe.
