Liver and gastrointestinal tumors greatly threaten human health and have poor therapeutic outcomes and prognosis.Tumor necrosis factor -alpha -induced protein 8 -like 2 (TIPE2)can negatively regulate innate immunity and adaptive immunity and maintain immune ho-meostasis.Recent studies have found that TIPE2 can affect various signaling pathways and thus exerts an inhibitory effect on the development and progression of tumors.This article briefly introduces the structure and function of TIPE2 and its regulatory effect on tumor -related sig-naling pathways such as Ras,Ral,and Rac and downstream molecules,as well as the role of TIPE2 in liver and gastrointestinal tumors,re-lated signaling pathways,and research advances.

BACKGROUND: Tissue engineering provides a new way for the repair of urinary tissue and organ defects.Urinary tissue engineering has shown a bright prospect.OBJECTIVE: To review the latest research on urinary tissue engineering at national and international level.METHODS: With the keywords of tissue engineering, urology, scaffold, vascularization in Chinese and in English,respectively, a computer-based search for articles published from January 2000 to January 2016 was performed in CNKI and PubMed databases. The articles addressing urology tissue engineering, scaffolds and vascularization were collected,summarized and analyzed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The selection and cultivation of seed cells, scaffold material performance, tissue construction in vitro, and degree of vascularization all make an important influence on the repair of urinary injuries. As different seed cells hold different biological characteristics, we should make full consideration prior to choosing an appropriate seed cell, so as to pave a good foundation for urinary tissue engineering. Scaffolds with good three-dimensional structure can promote the cell growth and proliferation, tissue in-growth and vascularization.Tissue-engineered materials are superior to traditional repair materials, but still on initial stage, and further large scale trials will be necessary. Moreover, some problems needed to be solved, such as the regenerated tissue with incomplete function different from natural tissues, and regeneration failure caused by biological stent rejection.

Objective To analyze the internal fixator remove time in different age patients after non-fusion cross injured vertebral screw of thoracolumbar vertebral fracture. Methods Sixty-eight patients who had underwent non-fusion cross injured vertebral screw were divided into 2 group according to the age:young group (20-44 years, 36 cases) and middle aged group (45-59 years, 32 cases). The numeric rating score (NRS), Oswestry disablility index (ODI), discoideum index (DI) and kyphotic Cobb angle 6, 9, 12 and 15 months after surgery were compared between 2 groups. Results The kyphotic Cobb angle, ODI and NRS 9, 12 and 15 months after surgery in 2 groups were significantly lower than those 6 months after surgery, which was in young group: (37.34 ± 6.86)° , (36.81 ± 6.78)° and (36.90 ± 6.97)° vs. (56.31 ± 3.56)° , (2.45 ± 0.55)%, (2.24 ± 0.53)% and (2.09 ± 0.41)% vs. (3.02 ± 0.89)%, (18.46 ± 2.73), (18.44 ± 3.05) and (18.28 ± 2.98) scores vs. (19.79 ± 2.85) scores, and in middle aged group: (37.11 ± 6.80)° , (35.58 ± 5.48)° and (35.40 ± 5.44)° vs. (56.03 ± 3.68)° , (2.21 ± 0.41)%, (2.08 ± 0.43)%and (1.97 ± 0.39)%vs. (3.04 ± 0.93)%, (19.17 ± 2.99), (18.57 ± 2.98) and (18. 43 ± 2.92) scores vs. (20.95 ± 2.49) scores. There were statistical differences (P<0.05). The DI 12 and 15 months after surgery in young group were significantly lower than that 6 and 9 months after surgery:(50.59 ± 4.60)%and (47.57 ± 4.30)%vs. (56.60 ± 3.98)%and (56.32 ± 3.87)%, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The DI 15 months after surgery in middle aged group was significantly lower than that 6, 9 and 12 months after surgery:(47.95 ± 4.87)%vs. (56.34 ± 3.97)%, (56.13 ± 3.88)%and (55.63 ± 3.94)%, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions The internal fixator remove time in the young patients after non-fusion of cross injured vertebral screw of thoracolumbar vertebral fracture is 9 months after surgery, and in the middle aged patients is 12 months after surgery. Intervertebral disc degeneration is one of the risk factors for delayed removal.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the surgical approaches for maxillary sinus cyst. METHODS A total of 32 patients with maxillary sinus cyst underwent operation for removal the cysts. Among them, 8 patients with maxillary sinus cyst and sinusitis were operated on through Messerklinger approach, 19 patients with maxillary cyst received modified Caldwell-Luc operation under nasal endoscope and 5 patients received endoscopic removal of maxillary cyst through the maxillary sinus antrostomy at the inferior nasal meatus. RESULTS All the patients were followed up for 6 months to one year. There was no recurrence found in patients received modified Caldwell-Luc operation. There were 2 patients recurred in 8 patients who were operated on through Messerklinger approach and one patient had closure of the maxillary sinus ostium and adhesion of nasal cavity. One patient recurred and 2 lost follow up in 5 patients who received endoscopic removal of maxillary cyst through the maxillary sinus antrostomy at the inferior nasal meatus. CONCLUSION The optimal surgical method for maxillary cyst is modified Caldwell-Luc operation under nasal endoscope. Messerklinger technique may suitable for patients with complicated sinusitis.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of transplantation of induced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)via various route for treatment of chronic liver injury.Methods MSCs were isolated and expanded by density gradient centrifugation combined with adherent culture.MSCs were induced to differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells in vitro.The markers of hepatocyte lineage were examined by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry.The changes of ultramicrostructure of MSCs were observed by transmission electron microscope.One hundred and fourteen Wistar rats were treated with mixture of 40%CCl4 and peanut oil to establish chronic liver injury model and another 6 rats were served as control.Twelve rats in model group were died within 8 weeks,and the rest rats were divided into portal vein,spleen and tail vein transplantation groups.The rats were transplanted with DAPI-labelled MSCs which were induced for 14 days.The distribution of the DAPI-labelled cells were observed by fluorescence microscopy.The liver function and pathology were examined.Results AFP mRNA expression were detected at 7th and 14th day after induction,expressions of ALB mRNA,CK18 and hepatocyte antigen were found at 14th and 2lth day.The ultrastructure examination revealed that MSCs were enlarged with a lot of endoplasmic reticulum,mitochondrion,lysosome and glycogen granule.DAPI labelled cells were found in the spleen and liver transplantion groups.The pathological changes of liver were alleviated in all treated groups,especially in intraspleenic transplantion group(P<0.05).Conclusions Induced bone marrow MSCs can ameliorate liver function of chronic hepatic injury after transplantation.The intraspleenic transplantation is better than others.
