Researching tissue engineered biliary duct aims to repair,replace and regenerate damaged or diseased bile duct by using the in vitro constructed tissues.In this article,we reviewed the cell sources,and scaffolds and the current status of the construction of the tissue engineered biliary duct in tissue engineering.and discussed the existing obstacles and development trends.Tissue engineered biliary duct has an intriguing perspective for the replacement therapy,but it is still at an early stage,its true value remains to be evaluated.

A novel solid-phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent for simultaneous extraction of atrazine (ATZ) and its metabolites, deisopropylatrazine (DIA) and deethylatrazine (DEA) from environmental water samples was prepared. Polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PAN NFs) mat was prepared via electrospinning, and was further functionalized to obtain polypyrrole modified polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PPy-PAN NFs) mat, hydrazine modified polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (NH2-PAN NFs) mat and carboxyl modified polyacrylonitrile (COOH-PAN NFs) mat. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of COOH-PAN NFs mat was better than other three NFs mats in both static (2.0 mg/g) and dynamic (0.19 mg/g) experiments. Meanwhile, the runoff ratios of COOH-PAN NFs mat were the lowest (less than 30.0％) in the adsorption of three analytes, especially for high polar analytes, which showed that the hydrogen bond between carboxyl groups and analytes was the main interactive force. A combination of mat-based SPE and high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection was further established for determination of 3 analytes in environmental water samples. The recoveries were 81.4％-120.3％ and the limits of detection were 0.12 ng/mL for DIA, 0.09 ng/mL for DEA and ATZ, respectively.

Objective To determine the expression of Toll-like receptor 5(TLR5) mRNA in the lung tissues of rats with acute lung injury induced by flagellin, and to investigate its potential role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Methods Flagellin was isolated and purified from Escherichia coli ATCC25922, subsequently identified by monoclonal antibody to flagellin. One hundred and eight SD rats were randomly divided into control group (n=36), flagellin challenged 1 group (n=36) and flagellin challenged 2 group (n=36). Rat model of ALI was reproduced by injecting flagellin. The expression of TLR5 mRNA in the lung tissues of rats was determined with in situ hybridization technique at six time points. Blood gas was monitored and pathological changes in the lung was observed at the same time. Result Flagellin was isolated and purified successfully and its molecular weight was approximately 65kD. Flagellin-induced acute lung injury model was successfully reproduced in rats. From 1h after flagellin injection, TLR5 mRNA expression was found to be increased in the lung tissues of rats with flagellin induced acute lung injury, and the expression was on the increase with the elapse of time and increase of the dose of flagellin. The PaO_2 levels in flagellin challenged 1 and 2 groups decreased. Interstitial edema, alveolar edema and inflammatory cells infiltration were also observed in flagellin challenged groups. Conclusion Flagellin can induce ALI in rats; the development of flagellin induced ALI in rats is related with TLR5 expression in the lung tissues of rats.

Fluke Electrical Safety analyzer (ESA-601) and Electrical Surgery analyzer(Model 454A)are used to measure some relative parameters of radio knife. By combining our measuring activity with the problems existing in the daily managements and usage of radio knife,our viewpoints are described in the following four aspects:management rules,electric shock prevention,patient electrode system and output power. An immature scheme about the quality control of radio knife is also put forward.

Objectives:To investigate the safety,feasibility and clinical effects of early EN(EEN) in postoperative patients with esophageal cancer. Methods:On the first postoperative day,40 patients were randomly divided into EEN group and TEN group(traditional enteral nutrition group), 20 patients per group.A series of parameters including plasma protein and lymphocyte count were tested before and after nutritional therapy.The complications,vital signs and resumption of gastrointestinal functions were carefully observed and recorded simultaneously. Results:Neither mortality nor serious morbidity occurred in all patients during the period of study.The concentrations of serum prealbumin and transferrin were significantly elevated after nutritional support in EEN group.The lymphocyte count was also higher in EEN group.The bowel movement resumed significantly earlier in EEN group than in TEN group. Conclusions:Postoperative EEN for esophageal cancer is safe and feasible,not only improving nutritional status and maintaining gastrointestinal function,but also ameliorating immunological function.

BACKGROUND:Repair of extrahepatic biliary tract injury is a difficult problem in the abdominal surgery. Tissue-engineered extrahepatic biliary tract is an ideal selection for this problem. Construction of tissue-engineered extrahepatic biliary tract with excelent performance is a key to related studies. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biocompatibility of bile duct endothelial cels differentiated by porcine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels with electrospun nanofibers. METHODS:Porcine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were induced toward biliary tract endothelial cels, which were then identified by morphology and RT-PCR. Polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanofiber membranes were prepared by electrospinning. The morphology was determined by scanning electron microscopy and the short-term (2-week)in vitro degradation rate was determined. Adhesion and proliferation of biliary tract endothelial cels on the nanofiber surface was analyzed by calculating the cel adhesion rate and MTT assay, respectively. Cel growth, morphology and distribution on the material surface were observed by fluorescence staining and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 4 weeks of directed differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem celsin vitro, cels showed typical morphology of dendritic bile duct endothelial cels and had the expression of CK19. Scanning electron micrographs showed that electrospun materials were continuous nanofibers with diameters between 200 and 500 nm. No significant degradation of the PLGA nanofibers was observed within 2 weeks. Based on the measured cel adhesion rate, MTT assay, fluorescence staining, and scanning electron microscopy, the differentiated cels possessed a good proliferative capacity on PLGA nanofibers. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels differentiated into bile duct endothelial cels in vitro. Materials prepared by the electrospinning method had a nanofiber structure, which did not significantly degrade within 2 weeks. Differentiated cels exhibit good biocompatibility with the nanofibers.

Objective To investigate the correlation between expression of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid and prognosis of operation in patients with gastric cancer.Methods The expression levels of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid of 68 patients with gastric cancer and 30 patients with gastric benign tumor were measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.The correlation between the expression level of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid and clinicopathological features,prognosis of postoperative were analyzed.Results The expression level of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid of patients with gastric cancre was 1.74 ± 0.25 and with gastric benign tumor was 0.19 ± 0.04,and there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).The expression level of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid had a correlation with the tumor infiltration depth,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis and TNM stage (P ＜ 0.05).There was statistical difference in the recurrent / metastasis rate and survival rate 1 year after operation between low (34 cases) and higher (34 cases) expression level of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid of gastric cancer patients:47.06％ (16/34) vs.82.35％ (28/34) and 79.41％ (27/34) vs.55.88％ (19/34),P ＜ 0.05.Conclusion The expression of CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid has close correlation with the clinicopathologic features,and the high expression of CEA mRNA indicats poor prognosis,indicating that CEA mRNA in preoperative peritoneal lavage fluid could be used as a prognostic marker in patients with gastric cancer.
