BACKGROUND:Many patients underwent aspirin anticoagulation in preventing cardiovascular disease before hip and knee replacement. No report addressed the effect of aspirin on blood loss during perioperative stage in patients receiving hip and knee replacement. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of perioperative continuous low-dose aspirin anticoagulation application on total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: A total of 40 patients with primary total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty were enroled in the Department of Orthopedics, Tianjin First Center Hospital from December 2012 to August 2013. According to anticoagulation scheme, they were divided into two groups (n=20). In the observation group, 100 mg/d aspirin anticoagulation was continuously used before replacement for a long period, and the medicine was not withdrawn except the day of replacement. In the control group, aspirin anticoagulation was not used, and their ages were similar to the observation group. The operation was conducted by the same physician in the observation and control groups. 10 patients received total hip arthroplasty and 10 patients received total knee arthroplasty in both groups. Bleeding was stopped actively during replacement. After replacement, pressurized ice compress was used to reduce bleeding. At 48 hours after replacement, wound drainage, perioperative hemoglobin and the incidence of complications were recorded. Joint function recovery was observed at 3 months of folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hemoglobin levels before and after operation, postoperative blood drainage at 48 hours, perioperative hemoglobin changes, the incidence of complication, and joint function score at 3-month folow-up did not show significant difference between both groups. These findings indicate that it is safe to use some measures for reducing blood loss and continue low-dose aspirin in the perioperative period. The use of aspirin did not impact blood loss.

OBJECTIVETo summarize and analyze the cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging features of ameloblastomas for clinical preoperative diagnosis.
METHODSThirty-seven cases with complete data proven by pathology were retrospectively studied for distinct CBCT features.
RESULTSOf the 37 cases, 31 were primary and 6 were recurrent. On CBCT images, the 37 cases were composed of 36 cases (97.3%) of intraosseous lesions (17 cases of multilocular lesions, 17 cases of unilocular lesions, and 2 cases of honeycomb lesion) and 1 case (2.7%) of extraosseous lesion (soft tissue lesion). Of the 17 multilocular cases, 15 (88.2%) showed tongue-shaped crests in lesions. Thirty-four cases (94.4%) showed apparent expansible change toward lip/buccal and (or) palatal/lingual sides ofjaw, with partialcortical erosion.
CONCLUSIONCBCT imaging yields accurate three-dimensional images of lesion shape and structure. Therefore, CBCT can be usedfor the clinical diagnosis and surgical assessment of ameloblastoma.

BACKGROUND:A novel galactosylated alginate-chitosan oligomer microcapsule has been prepared successful y. There is no report on hepatocytes encapsulated into the microcapsule prepared with chitosan oligomer and alginate sodium.
OBJECTIVE:To study the structure and properties of the previous novel galactosylated alginate-chitosan oligomer microcapsule, and then explore the morphology and function expression of the hepatocytes encapsulated.
METHODS:The membrane structure and thickness of the microcapsule (containing 50%or 30%galactosylated alginate) were observed using a laser confocal microscopy. Mechanical property was determined by mechanical rupture rate. Permeability was evaluated by release profile of fluoresceine isothiocyanate-labeled human serum albumin and immunoglobulin G. The morphology of hepatocytes in the microcapsule was observed using an inverted phase contrast microscopy. Function expression of the hepatocytes included albumin secretion and urea synthesis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The microcapsule had an asymmetry structure, with dense inner and loosened outer surfaces. With the increase of the galactosylated alginate, the membrane became loose, which indicated the negative charge on the alginate molecular chains was weakened after introduction of galactose, and thus electrostatic complex was affected. Mechanical property was correlated with both membrane structure and thickness. With the increase of the galactosylated alginate, the membrane structure became loose and the thickness was decreased, resulting in poor mechanical properties. The permeability was dependent mainly on the pore size of the skin layer of the membrane other than the loose sublayer. The prepared microcapsule can selectively pass through the human serum albumin and cut off immunoglobulin G, indicating skin pore size between human serum albumin and immunoglobulin G. The hepatocytes can form sphere assemble in the galactosylated alginate-chitosan oligomer microcapsule and exhibit improved albumin secretion and urea synthesis compared to the control in the alginate-chitosan oligomer microcapsule.

BACKGROUND: To search for an alloxenogeneic bone with good load bearing function and osteoblastic activity for treating bone defects is an important study issue. We have made a comparative study on its biome chanical characteristics and found that there was no significant difference in maximum load stress, maximum pressure as compared with fresh bone of the same size. Clinicians are concerned about the osteoblastic activity and whether the osteoblastic activity can be reserved after human allogenous a cellular bone (HAB) loaded with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the experimental effect of HAB loaded with induced BMSCs, and observe the cellular adherence and growth as well as detect its osteoblastic activity. DESIGN: Single sample experiment. SETTING: Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. MATERIALS: This experiment was conducted at the Experimental Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between January 2003 and August 2004. HAB was obtained from fresh corpse iliac bones (donated voluntarily). METHODS: Connective tissues and cell compounds of the iliac bones were removed by processing with hydroperoxide andether solution and sterilized for preparing HAB. BMSCs from living femoral shaft bone marrow were cultured immediately in ordinary and mineralized medium containing DMEM, fetal bovine serum, dexomethasone, β-glycerophophate and ascor bic acid. Proliferation and differentiation of bone stromal cells were deter mined by detecting the level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN) in the culture medium. Induced bone stromal cells solution was condensed and implanted within HAB scaffold. Cellular osteoblastic activ ity was determined through morphological observation under the light mi croscope and electron microscope as well as biochemical index detection. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Detection results of ALP and OCN of BMSCs/HAB composite. ② Histological observation results of BMSCs/ HAB composite. RESULTS: ① Iliac bone block cells were cleaned with good reservation of bone matrix. ② The level of ALP and OCN of MSCs was higher after in ducing for 8 days than that in control group [MSCs after induction: (181.54±40.01) nkat/L, (7.2±1.3) μg/L. There was no method to detect the level in control group, P < 0.05]. ③ BMSCs were adhered and grew well in HAB scaffold. CONCLUSION: HAB loaded with induced BMSCs has an excellent os teogenic function in vitro and shows an effective potential as a good bone tissue engineering material.
