BACKGROUND: How to deal with bone defect is a big problem to surgeons. In recent years, the development in the technology of molecular biology and tissue engineering provides broad prospect for the clinical treatment of bone defect, which is one of the important study directions in department of orthopedics. The transforming growth factor-beta 1(TGF-β1),one of the important factors in bone formation, plays an important role in bone metabolism and recovery.OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effects of bone defects with osteoblasts transfected . By TGF-β1 combining with biomimetic biodegradable polymer scaffolds.DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial.SETTING: Department of Orthopedics, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: Siderophilin, trypsin, 3H-proline and sirius red, etc.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from March to August in 2003. Twenty healthy adult Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats of SPF grade, weighing 200-250 g, were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Tongji Medical College.METHODS: The osteoblasts transfected by TGF-β1 gene, combining with poly-DL-lactic acid scaffolds modified with poly-L-lysine, were transplanted into rat tibia defect. Radiographs and histological analysis were performed to evaluate the repair effects.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The X-ray evaluation and histology observation were performed at the 4th and 8th weeks after the operation.RESULTS: Totally 20 SD rats were included in result analysis without one rat missing. ①In the experiment group, X-ray image indicated callus formation, while histology observation showed osteoid tissue and new bone formation, and osteoblasts attached to the surface of the materials after 4 weeks. Eight weeks later, the defect was essentially repaired, and the bone density of new bone was similar to that of the autogenous bone. ②In the control group, there was no formation of callus and osteoid tissue, and few osteoblasts attached to the surface of the materials, and a lot of lymphocytes infiltrated and blood capillary grew in the lacune of materials after 4 weeks. Eight weeks later, the imbedded materials were substituted mostly by fibrous tissue.CONCLUSION: The ideal repair effect of bone defect can be obtained through the combination of molecular biology with tissue engineering.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2013;44(21):3030-3034
Objective: To study the pharmacokinetic effect of three active markers, baicalin (BC), ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) in plasma of rats after iv administration of Tanreqing Injection (TI) in various compatibilities, which contained scutellaria extraction (SE), bear gall powder extraction (BE), Cornu caprae hircus extraction (CE) and Lonicerae Flos extraction (FE), including SE, BE, SE-BE (SE and BE), SE-CE (SE and CE), SE-BE-CE (SE, BE and CE), and SE-BE-CE-FE (SE, BE, CE, and FE):. To discuss the rationality of TI compatibility, the effects of TI in various compatibilities on the pharmacokinetics of BC, UDCA, and CDCA in plasma of rats were investigated. Methods: Thirty-six experimental rats were randomly divided into six groups, and treated with SE, BE, SE-BE, SE-CE, SE-BE-CE, and SE-BE-CE-FE. After the simultaneous extraction of the three major bioactive components in plasma of rats, the concentration of BC was determined using LC-UV method, and UDCA as well as CDCA was determined using LC-MS method. The experimental data were analyzed by WinNonlin 6.3 software and the pharmacokinetic parameters of BC, UDCA, and CDCA in these recipes were evaluated. Results: The pharmacokinetic parameters of UDCA and CDCA did not change after iv administration of TI in various compatibilities. However, the TI in various compatibilities increased the AUC of BC after iv administration. The change degrees were SE < SE-CE < SE-BE-CE < SE-BE-CE-FE but with no statistical significance. The pharmacokinetic parameters of UDCA and CDCA did not obviously change, which indicated that the different compatibilities did not change the pharmacokinetic behavior of UDCA and CDCA. Conclusion: TI in various compatibelities could increase the exposure of BC following the iv administration, but could not affect the pharmacokinetic behaviors of UDCA and CDCA.

Objective To test the in vitro acitivity of azithromycin, minocyline, moxifloxacin, doxycycline and rifampicin alone or in combination against three standard strains of urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis,i.e. D-UW-5/Cx, E-UW-5/Cx and G-UW-5/Cx. Methods Three standard strains of C. trachomatis were inoculated into McCoy cells, and used to susceptibility testing after more than 90% McCoy cells were infected.Microdilution method was applied to determine the activity of the 5 antimicrobial agents alone, and checkerboard array to determine that in combination. Results The in vitro minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs)were 0.25 mg/L for azithromycin, 0.06 mg/L for moxifloxacin, 0.063 - 0.25 mg/L for doxycycline, 0.032 -0.064 mg/L for minocyline, 0.008 mg/L for rifampicin. And, the fractional inhibitory concentration index was constantly 0.75 for the combination of azithromycin with moxifloxacin, doxycycline and rifampicin, 2.5, 2.83and 4 for the combination of minocyline with azithromycin, moxilloxacin and rifampicin, respectively. Conclusions As far as the activity against C. trachomatis is concerned, there is a synergism for the combination of azithromycin with moxifloxacin, doxycycline and rifampicin, but antagonism for the combination of minocyline with azithromycin, moxifloxacin and rifampicin.

Objective To test the in vitro susceptibility to macrolides of urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) isolates, screen resistant Ct strains, and to explore resistance mechanism at the molecular level. Methods A total of 42 Ct strains were isolated from cervical or urethral swab samples and propagated in McCoy cells until the infection rate reached more than 90%. Then, susceptibility test was performed to evaluate the activity of three macrolides. Reverse transcription PCR and PCR were used to amplify two macrolide-resistance related genes, i.e., 23S rRNA gene and L4 gene, respectively in 2 erythromycin-resistant Ct strains and 4 erythromycin-sensitive strains followed by direct sequencing. Results The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) varied from 0.5 to 2 mg/L for erythromycin, 0.008 to 0.032 mg/L for clarithromycin, 0.125 to 0.5 mg/Lfor azithromycin. Erythromycin resistance was found in 2 isolates with the MIC value being 2 mg/L. Two mutations, C2452A and T2611A/C (Escherichia coli numbering) in the 23S rRNA gene, were detected in the resistant strains only, while the other 2 mutations, Pro113Leu and Pro156 Ala in L4 gene, were observed in all the tested strains. Conclusions Erythromycin-resistant Ct strains have emerged in clinical settings. The low-level erythromycin resistance may be associated with C2452A and T261 1C mutations in the 23S rRNA gene, whereas the point mutations in L4 gene is unlikely related to erythromycin resistance.

Objective To test the in vitro activity of azithromycin against recent clinical isolates of urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis, and combined activity of azithromycin with moxifloxacin, rifampicin, doxycycline and minocyline. Methods When more than 90% McCoy cells were infected, the 41 strains tested were collected to investigate minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 5 antimicrobials alone. Checkerboard array was used to calculate the fractional inhibitory concentrations(FICs) and then detected the interactions among the various combinations. Results In vitro, synergism or additivity effect of 51.22%,53.66% and 58.54% strains was found in azithromycin-moxifloxacin, azithromycin-doxycycline and asithromycin-rifampicin combinations, respectively. No difference was observed in all of the combinations ( P >0.05). However, antagonism effect of 90.24% strains was observed in azithromycin-minocyline combination. Conclusion This study indicates that the combination of azithromycin with moxifloxacin, doxycycline or rifampicin is more effective against Chlamydia trachomatis than individual antimicrobials. Therefore, these antimicrobials combinations might be recommended against Chlamydia trachomatis recurrent or persisitent infection. However, the combination of azithromycin with minocyline exhibited a markedly antagonism activity against Chlamydia trachomatis. Combined sensitivity test to a certain extent can compensate for some shortcomings of individual susceptibility test.
