BACKGROUND: Previous studies have confirmed that rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate into osteoblasts under osteogenic induction in vitro, stably express the specific phenotype of osteoblasts and have osteogenic ability. Calf cortical bone scaffold with partial cancellous bone has good biocompatibility and degradability, which can be used as a carrier material of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE: To combine rabbit BMSCs with calf bone composite according to the basic principles of bone tissue engineering and to observe the osteogenesis in the New Zealand white rabbits after implantation of BMSCs/calf bone composite into the ilium, thereby providing a direct evidence for preliminary clinical application of tissue-engineered bone products.METHODS: BMSCs/calf cortical bone scaffold with partial cancellous bone (tissue-engineered bone group), simple calf heterogeneous bone (heterogeneous bone group) or autologous iliac bone (autologous iliac bone group) was randomly implanted into the rabbit ilium. The changes of implant surface and tissue reactions around the implant were observed.X-ray examination was performed to observe osteogenic changes at 4, 8, 12, 24 weeks after implantation. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to observe the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After heterogeneous bone implantation, the wound healed well, and there were no systemic or local inflammation and toxicity reactions in all groups. The X-ray results showed that at postoperative 24 weeks, the implant was basically fused with the host bone in the tissue-engineered bone group, but the fusion was unsatisfactory in the heterogeneous bone group. The process of ossifications from cartilages was observed in all groups by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and bone morphogenetic protein 2 was positive for immunohistochemical staining. Findings from in vivo experiments indicate that rabbit BMSCs seeded onto the calf cortical bone scaffold with partial cancellous bone could construct tissue-engineered bone by osteoinductation in vitro in the rabbits.

Tangcao pill is commonly applied in adjuvant and even alternative therapy for patients with AIDS. However, the herb contains complex ingredients, but with unknown effect against anti-HIV drug and unknown function. Because CYP450 emzyme is the main metabolic enzymes of the drug, it is of important significance to study the regulation of CYP450 enzymes before and after the combined administration of Tangcao pill and EFV. Proteomics, due to its high throughout and high sensitivity, has been widely applied in CYP450 enzyme study. In this paper, liver microsomes were separated through differential centrifugation. Their proteins were separated through SDS-PAGE. The three protein bands that CYP450 enzymes were located were cut and identified by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Totally 16 CYP450 isoenzymes were identified. Furthermore, in order to make a quantitative analysis on the effect of tang herb on CYP450 emzyme, the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) technology based on MS was adopted. The CYP2C11 was selected based on the results of the mass spectrum identification of proteins. The characteristic polypeptides were obtained through searching Expasy blast database. The m/z of the fragment ions was less than 800. In the paper, the m/z of ion pairs of CYP2C11 were 711.5/232.1, 711.5/319.2, 711.5/466.2 and 711.5/595.3, and the m/z of ESAT-6 (internal standard, IS) were 735.5/215.3, 735.5/389.3, 735.5/460.3 and 735.5/524.3. The relative peak (analyte/IS) area was adopted for the relative quantitative analysis. Compared with the EFV single administration group, the EFV and Tangcao pill combined administration group showed a 1.6-fold increase in CYP2C11. The results of the paper indicated that Tangcao pill may affect drug metabolism by regulating metabolic enzymes such as CYP2C11, but the specific mechanism still unknown.

OBJECTIVETo determine the incidence and risk factors for nosocomial infection in child epilepsy.
METHODSA retrospective study was conducted among all (292 cases) hospitalized children epilepsy patients in First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from 1996 to 2000 in Fuzhou city. With all patients with nosocomial infection as cases and all patients without nosocomial infection as controls, a case-control study on risk factors for nosocomial infection was carried out. Available data were analyzed by one-way Chi-square test and unconditional logistic multiple regression model.
RESULTSOne hundred fourteen cases of nosocomial infection were identified among 292 cases with epilepsy with an incidence of 39.0% (114/292). The one-way Chi-square test showed that nosocomial infection was significantly associated with age below 3 years (OR = 2.55, P < 0.01), length of hospitalization over 14 days (OR = 4.75, P < 0.01), low intelligence (OR = 3.13, P < 0.01), receiving antibiotic unreasonably (OR = 3.51, P < 0.01), using gastrogarage (OR = 3.12, P < 0.01), other invasive operation (OR = 1.85, P < 0.05) dyskinesia or palsy (OR = 3.51, P < 0.01), and urinary nitrogen beyond normal range (OR = 5.00, P < 0.05), etc. Unconditional logistic multiple regression analysis revealed that the length of hospitalization over 14 days (OR = 4.30, OR 95% CI: 2.48 - 7.46, P < 0.01), taking antibiotic unreasonably (OR = 2.74, OR 95% CI: 1.30 - 5.77, P < 0.01), using gastrogarage (OR = 3.04, OR 95% CI: 1.28 - 7.18, P < 0.05), and low intelligence (OR = 2.32, OR 95% CI: 1.34 - 4.01, P < 0.01) were independent risk factors for nosocomial infection. The tendency chi-square test showed that the longer stay in the hospital with more kinds of antibiotic used and more gastrogarage they used, the greater the risk of nosocomial infection was.
CONCLUSIONData suggested that occurrence of the nosocomial infection of children epilepsy patients was correlated with the length of hospitalization over 14 days, unreasonable using antibiotic, using gastrogarage and low intelligence.
