BACKGROUND: The previous methods for the repair of tendon defect include end-to-end method, autologous tendon graft, tendon al ograft or artificial tendon transplantation, but each method has its advantages and disadvantages. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of constructing tissue-engineered tendon by rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as seed cells which were induced by bone morphogenetic protein 12 and with col agen-polyglycolic acid composite as frameworks in the repair of rabbit tendon defects. METHODS: Bone marrow was separated from rabbit proximal femur to harvest cells, and the cells were passaged to the second generation and induced with 10 μg/L bone morphogenetic protein 12. Then the passage 2 cells were implanted into the prefabricated tissue-engineered tendon on the polyglycolic acid stitch with certain percentage together with col agenⅠsolution. The rabbits were used to establish the Achil es tendon defect models, and different methods were used to repair Achil es tendon defect: tissue-engineered tendon, col agenⅠ-polyglycolic acid stitch and end-to-end suturing in silk. Morphology, mechanics and shistopathology of the tissue-engineered tendon were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Pathomorphological observation of histological section after 12 weeks showed that multiple fusiform fibroblasts were homogeneously distributed in col agen in the direction of stress mechanics.Fibrocytes increased obviously, new smal vessels could be seen and col agen was found aligned compactedly. In col agen Ⅰ-polyglycolic acid stitch group, a part of fibroplasia hyperplasia accompanied by granulation tissue formation could be seen, the col age fibers were in loose filamentous network and the cells were distributed disorderly and unevenly. Granulation tissue formed around the fibrous tissue in the silk group. Biomechanics strength in bone morphogenetic protein 12+polyglycolic acid group was better than that in the col agen Ⅰ-polyglycolic acid group, and there was significant difference when compared with suture silk group. The biomechanics strength of the bone morphogenetic protein 12+polyglycolic acid group was lower than that of normal tendon. It is possible to construct a tissue-engineered tendon with autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as seed cells induced by bone morphogenetic protein 12 and with the col agen-polyglycolic acid as the framework. Constructed tissue-engineered tendon has biomechanics characteristics and can be used to repair Achil es tendon defect.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes of neuropeptides content in a rat model of spleen-deficiency syndrome. METHODS: Rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal group, untreated group and treatment group. There were ten rats in each group. Spleen-deficiency syndrome was induced by intragastrically administration of rhubarb concentrate in rats of the untreated and treatment group. The rats in the treatment group were intragastrically administered with Sijunzi decoction, a traditional Chinese compound herbal medicine for strengthening spleen and supporting qi. Normal saline was intragastrically administered to the rats in the normal and untreated groups. The somatostatin (SS) and cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) content in hypothalamus and colons was detected by the method of radioimmunoassay and the D-xylose content in urine was also detected. RESULTS: The CCK-8 content in hypothalamus of the untreated group was higher than that of the normal group (P<0.05). SS and CCK-8 content in colons of the untreated group was higher than that of the normal group (P<0.05). The CCK-8 content in colons of the untreated group was lower than that of the treatment group (P<0.05). The excretion rate of D-xylose in the untreated group was lower than that of the normal group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The disorder of neuroendocrine regulation in rats with spleen-deficiency syndrome may be chiefly responsible for "spleen-deficency and dysfunction of spleen" in traditional Chinese medicine.

In recent years, cytokinesis-block method was used to analyze cytomics indicators including micronucleus, nuclear bridge, nuclear bud, nuclear division index, cell apoptosis and cell necrosis. In public health, it has become the common method to explore the impacts of different population structure, environment and occupational exposure for genomic instability, chromosome breakage, chromosome loss and cell proliferation. This article reviews and discusses the application of using cytokinesis block method to analyze cytomics indicators in public health field.

changes of galanin in the small intestines of the rats which were inflicted with acute intestinal radiation sickness (AIRS) by exposing to 20 Gy gamma rays were studied with immunocytochemistry (ICC) , HE staining of tissue sections, and microspectrophotometer. It was found that the damage of intestinal mucosa was being intensified as AIRS progressed; there no marked change of GAL-LI neurons but the arrangement of GAL-LI fibers was disordered in the irradiated rats as compared with those of the control; the galanin content of the small intestines was significantly tower in the irradiated rats than in the control especially in the 48th and 72nd hour after irradiation (P

Objective The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing worldwide, and also in china. The characteristics of the cancer are: short course, rapid progress and high mortality, with median survival time of about 6 months. Unfortunately, the early symptoms of patients are not peculiarity. There are not simple, direct and effective methods of early diagnosis. When the patients have jaundice and abdominal pain, probably they are the advanced disease (stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ) ,with unresectable tumours,and have to perform biliary bypass operation for alleviative treatment. Furthermore, the most of all patients exhibit advanced disease, which is often associated with a reduced performance status, malnourished condition, immune function deficiency, all of which severely limit patients tolerance for toxic chemotherapy regimens. These may result in physiological problems that can alter the metabolism and distribution of cytotoxic drugs and therefor lead to an increase in treatment-related toxicity. Purpose To explore the effect of TPN in the post-palliative operations, Roux-en-Ycholedceho-jejunostomy, of advaneed pancreatic carcinoma patients receiving chemotherapy. Methods From Jan. 1996 to Jan. 1999, 40 cases had receiving combination chemotherapy after palliative operations for relief of jaundice by biliary hypass, and surgical biopsy for histologically cemented. The patients were randomly divided inter 2 groups: (1) treatment group (chemotherapy + TPN), 12 men and 8 women had a median age of 57.8 years old. (2) Control group (chemotherapy + routine treatment), 13 men and 7 women had a median age of 58.2 years old. All the patients received combined chemotherapy, the regimen was 5-Fu+ CF + MMC + DDP/EPI (5-fluorouracil + Calcium folniate + Mitomycin C + Cisplatin or Epirubicin ) or IFN-γ (interferon-γ). Dosages of drugs were modified for bone marrow toxicity, stomatits and declining performance status. After 28 days, the regimen performed once again. The regimen of TPN was: total caloric value (NPC) 20 Kcal/kg·d, nitrogen 0.2kg/kg·d, N/Q = 1g: 125Kcal, Glucose/Fat=6:4. The nutritional & immunological parameters, quality of life, effects of treatment wrer monitored. Results Treatemnt group is superior to control group. After TPN, serum pre. albumin, transferrin concentration, retinol-binding protein, total lymphocyte count, natural killer cells activity, IL-2R+ cells (CD25) percentage of peripheral blood, grades of quality of life and survival time increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01 respectively). However, no significant difference was observed in IFN-γ application group (P>0.05). Conelusions The nutritional support can improve nutritional and immune situation and quality of life, and prolong the survival time of the patients, but no relapse-free survival.
