BACKGROUND: Polylactic acid copolymer bone scaffold has excellent biodegradability, and it is easy to be shaped and can promote the formation and growth of bone tissue and blood vessel.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs)/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) complex on the biomechanical properties after fracture healing in osteoporotic bone.METHODS: Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: blank control group received no treatment; the bilateral tibial fracture model was made after 3 months of bilateral ovarian resection in model group; the bilateral tibial fracture model was made and ADSCs were implanted into the bone after 3 months of bilateral ovarian resection in cell therapy group; the bilateral tibial fracture model was made and the PLGA/ADSCs complex was implanted after 3 months of bilateral ovarian resection in combined treatment group.The bone mineral density, callus thickness, biomechanical parameters and the microstructure of the trabecular bone were detected.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The bone density: The bone density of the model group was significantly lower than that of the blank control group (P < 0.05); the bone mineral density of the cell therapy group and the combined treatment group was higher than that of the model group (P < 0.05), but lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05); and the bone mineral density of the combination treatment group was higher than that of the cell therapy group (P < 0.05). (2)Thickness of the callus: The thickness of the callus in the cell therapy group and combined treatment group was higher than that of the model group and blank control group (P < 0.05); moreover, the thickness of the callus in the combined treatment group was higher than that of the cell therapy group (P < 0.05). (3) Biomechanical test: The failure load, stress and shear strength, elastic modulus were decreased in the model group compared with the blank control group (P < 0.05), while the shear strain increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the failure load, ultimate stress, shear strength, elastic modulus were increased in the cell therapy group and combined treatment group (P < 0.05), and the shear strain was decreased (P < 0.05). Moreover, the combined treatment group showed more changes in these biomechanical parameters (P < 0.05). (4) The trabecular bone microstructure: The model group presented with trabecular derangement, spacing increases, and even fracture and lacuna. After ADSCs or ADSCs/PLGA transplantation,the trabecular bones increased in number, thickness, and spacing, and the number of lacunae reduced. In conclusion,ADSCs combined with PLGA in the treatment of osteoporotic fracture can significantly improve the biomechanical parameters of bone tissue after healing.

Objective To evaluate the dual blood supply of lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma using dualinput perfusion CT.Methods A total of 40 patients confirmed with lung cancer pathologically underwent CT perfusion (CTP) scanning.The pulmonary flow (PF),bronchial flow (BF),perfusion index (PI,PI=PF/[PF+BF])and tumor volume,location were measured and recorded by 2 experienced radiologists.The differences in CTP parameters between lung adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas,the central lung cancers and peripheral lung cancers were analyzed.The correlation between the tumor volume and CTP parameters was analyzed.Interobserver agreements were assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).Results The average of PF,BF and PI of all 40 cases was (54.26± 21.07)ml/ (min · 100 ml),(64.41±22.06)ml/(min · 100 ml) and (43.38±16.07)%,respectively.Tumor histology was consistent with adenocarcinomas in 23 cases and squamous cell carcinomas in 17 cases,lung adenocarcinomas showed lower PI than that of squamous cell carcinomas (t=-2.196,P=0.034).There were 17 peripheral lung cancers and 23 central lung cancers,and the PI of the peripheral lung cancers was higher than that of the central lung cancer (t=2.305,P=0.027).No statistically significant differences were found for BF and PF between two types of lung cancers and central lung cancers and the peripheral cancers (all P>0.05).Tumor volume was negatively associated with PI (r =-0.39,P=0.01).Good agreement was found between the two observers,the ICC for BF,PF and PI was 0.97,0.93 and 0.91,respectively.Conclusion Dual-input CTP technique can be used to evaluate the differences of blood supply between different pathological types and locations of lung cancer,with PI depending both on tumor size and location.

Objective To determine the clinical efficacy of the combination of Aidi injection and chemotherapy in patients of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods One hundred and twenty three patients with stage ⅢB/Ⅳ NSCLC complying with diagnosis standard were eligible.Those patients were randomly divided into treatment group (63 patients) and control group (60 patients). Both of groups received NP regimens( NVB 25 mg/m2, ivgtt, d1,d8; DDP 25 mg/m2, ivgtt, d1-3, watering). In treatment group,patients received Aidi injection (50 ml, ivgtt, d1-10) combined with NP regimens. Then some indexes were observed, including outcomes in the overall response rates, adverse drug reaction, quality of life. Results In treatment group, outcomes in the overall response rates were 50.8 %, 5 patients were completely remitted(CR),27 patients were partly remitted(PR). In control group, outcomes in the overall response rates were 35.0 %(3 CR, 18 PR). Gastrointestinal reaction and bone marrow depression of treatment group was lower than control group. Quality of life of treatment group was higher than control group. The difference was significant between two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion This Aidi injection plus chemotherapy combination is effective against NSCLC with mild toxicities and quality of life can be improved.

BACKGROUND: SSh as a Hedgehog signal protein can promote bone development, growth and remodeling.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with Shh modified nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen (nHAC) in the repair of femoral defects in rats.METHODS: Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups, and the model of femoral defects was established in these rats. At 14 days after modeling, experimental group was implanted with the BMSCs/Shh modified nHAC, scaffold group was implanted with simple nHAC, cell scaffold group was implanted with BMSCs/nHAC,and blank control group was without any implantation. At 3, 6, 9, 12 weeks after repair, X-ray examination, bone density measurement and bone biopsy in bone defect area were performed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) X-ray examination: The Lane-Sandhu X-ray score and bone mineral density value in the experimental group at different time points after operation were significantly higher than those in the other three groups (P < 0.05). (2) Hematoxylin-eosin staining: 12 weeks after repair, a small amount of bone tissues but no bone marrow formed in the scaffold group; a small amount of bone tissues with absence of bone marrow formed in the cell scaffold group, and the residual scaffold was visible; in the experimental group, the scaffold was completely absorbed,and mature bone and medullary cavity formed with presence of bone marrow. (3) Scanning electron microscope observation: 12 weeks after repair, irregular arrangement of bone fibers and a large number of bone fossae were observed in the scaffold group; the cell scaffold group showed a large number of osteoblasts, but bone fibers still arranged irregularly; in the presence of the Haversian system, a large number of regularly arranged bone trabeculae were detective in the experimental group. These results elucidate that the Shh modified nHAC/BMSCs complex can promote the repair of bone defects.
