Objective To use detergents and nucleic acid enzyme to prepare scaffold of extracellular ma-trix , then assess the morphological and cytotoxic changes in vitro , and explore the feasibility of this type of scaffold as an ideal tissue-engineering scaffold. Methods Fifty pieces of fresh nucleus pulposus were randomly divided into a fresh control group and a decellularized group. The specimens in decellularized group were treated with 0.3%Tri-ton X-100, 0.5%sodium deoxycholate, and nuclease for 24 h. Morphological changes were studied by macroscopy, pathological staining and scanning electron microscopy. Cytotoxicity was determined by CCK-8 and LIVE/DEAD Viability/Cytotoxicity Assay Kit in vitro. Results The shape of scaffold was maintained,and the extracellular ma-trix was presented while the cells disappeared after decellularization. As compared with the fresh tissue , the scaffold and its extracts had no cytotoxicity to rabbit bone marrow stem cells. Conclusions Almost all the cells have been removed while the extracellular matrix is reserved , and the scaffold has no cytotoxicity to the seed cells. The decel-lularized scaffold can be used as an ideal substance to fabricate tissue-engineering nucleus pulposus.

[Objective] To recommend an ideal method for extracting Ⅰ-collagen from cortical bone.[Method]The cortical bone of pig was splitted into small pieces after the soft tissues were cleaned up.The bone pieces were gradually dehydrated in alcohol,defatted in aether,decalcificated in hydrochloric acid,redefatted in chloroform:methanol(1:1,v/v)and became soft.The soft pieces were disintegrated into demineralized bone matrix(DBM)powder in a high speed mill.The osseins were extracted respectively by enhanced pepsin digestion method or alkali-solution method after the DBM powder was treated with desolving,centrifuging,dialyzing and lyophilization.The product got by enhanced pepsin digestion method was further confirmed.The extraction rate and appearance,viscosity and solidification of both products were analyzed and compared.[Result]The collagen produced by extraction of enhanced pepsin digestion method was confirmed to be I-collagen by analyzing amino-acid composition,protein electrophoresis,relative moleculas weight and max wavelength about light absorption.The extraction rate of Ⅰ-collagen by enhanced pepsin digestion method was(94.0?14.96)% as comparision with by alkali-solution method(57.8?4.96)% and the viscosity test of acetic and solution at the concentration 0.03%(w/v)was 3.71 and 2.81 respectively.At the condition of 37?,pH 7.35~7.45,the collagen solution extracted by enhanced pepsin digestion method solidified and changed into a glue 10 minutes later,while the product solution by extraction with alkali-solution was still like a sticky liquid.[Conclusion]Ossein extracted from cortical bone with enhanced pepsin digestion method is a realⅠ-collagen.Compared with alkeli-solution extraction method,the enhanced pepsin digestion extraction method has advantages of higher extraction rate,better purity,better viscosity and fine solidification of the product,and is a choice to prepare the Ⅰ-collagen from cortical bone.

[Objective]To investigate the method and efficiency of operative modified rotational acetabular osteotomy for treatment of adult acetabular dysplasia. [Methods]Twenty-seven patients with 30 hips with acetabular dysplasia were treated with modified rotational acetabular osteotomy. The study group consisted of three men with 3 hips and twenty-four women with 27 hips,the average age of the patients was 29.4 years(range,fifteen to forty-two years ).The anteroposterior plevis view,lateral and abduction view of bilateral hip were taken,CE angle(center-edge angle) and AC angle(acetabular roof obliquity) were measured,the changes of the rotational center of the hip ,Shenton's line and the degree of osteoarthritis were recorded ,the Harris score was obtained before and after operation.[Results]The femoral head coverage was improved in all patients. On average ,the CE angle was improved from 3.2 (-15?~15?)to 28.5?(20?~40?),the AC angle was declined from 26.6?(15?~38?)to 3.9?(0?~12?). The rotational center of the hip was medialized in 19 hips(63.3%),the discontinuity rate of Shenton's line was declined from 67% to 23%. On average 4.2 years follow-up ,1 case lost follow-up,the degree of osteoarthritis in 28 hips was not aggravated,pain was aggravated in 1 hip ,the Harris score was improved from 82.7(67~96) to 97.8(87~100).Two patients have had Fibre-union of pubic and one patient has had stress fracture of the inferior pubic ramus postoperatively,non-union of iliac and posterior column of the osteotomy or the greater trochanter was not found.[Conclusion]The method of modified rotational acetabular osteotomy for treatment of adult acetabular dysplasia is effective and safety.

[Objective]To evaluate the surgical effect of posterior correction and instrumentation on the treatment of congenital kyphoscolosis deformity. [Methods]From july 2002 to august 2007,there were 15 congenital kyphoscoliotic patients,which included 8 males and 7 females with an average age of 11.6 years.The average Cobb’s angle of scoliosis was 78?(35?~156?),the average Cobb’s angle of kyphosis was 25?(15?~38?).For the 9 kyphoscolsis patients with hemivertebra,hemivertebra resection and intervertebral fusion and fixation with pedicle screw instrument system were used,Luque’s systems was used in 2 cases,for the 3 cases accompanied with Chiari malformation and/or syringomyelia and 1 case with neurofibroma,posterior correction and long segmental pedicle screw fixation were performed and the compensative curve was included in the instrumentation level.[Results]The operation time was 3.5~7.5 h (average,5.5 h ),the blood loss was 300~2 100 ml (mean,850 ml);the average follow-up was 43 months (10~82 months),and the radiographs taken from standing posteroanterior position and lateral side showed that the mean Cobb’s angle of scoliosis was corrected from preoperative 78? to postoperative 28?(11?~38?),with a correction rate of 64%.Postoperatively ,the angle of kyphosis was improved from the preoperative 25? to 16?( 7?~33?),with a correction rate of 36%.Solid fusion was achieved in all 15 cases of patients. But significant blood loss occurred in the operative procedure of neurofibroma. And long term follow-up showed 3 cases of rod fracture,1 case of crankshaft phenomenon.[Conclusion]The congenital kyphoscolosis deformity is a kind of complex syndrome concerning skeleton-muscle-nerve system,aim to different cause,strategy of treatment should be individualized.The posterior hemivertebral resection and correction is a safe and effective method for the prepubertal children with the congenital hemivertebrae deformity.

Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2017;52(8):1255-1257,1260
To investigate whether the use of concentrate growth factors have a favorable impact on clinical outcome of immediate implant in periodontally infected sites.48 patients with 51 teeth with periodontitis and periapical periodontitis accepted immediate implantation in the maxillary esthetic zone.25 implants(test group) were placed simultaneously with guided bone regeneration (GBR) using CGF combined with Bio-oss, other 26 implants(control group) were treated with Bio-oss alone.The facial bone thickness at 0, 4 and 8mm apical to the implant platform were measured immediately after, 3 months after and 6 months after surgery;pain visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the degreeof pain in the patient within 1 week after surgery.3 months after surgery,the change of horizontal resorption in labial was less in test group(P<0.05).In the first three days postsurgery, the test group reported significantly less pain with respect to the control group(P<0.05).The application of CGF produced beneficial impacts on clinical outcome of immediate implant in periodontally infected sites.
