The tissue engineering technology that developed in the 1980s brings a hope for the regeneration of human organs. It is feasible to construct by-pass vessels, which have no immune resistance but are capable of anticoagulation. At present, a huge number of researches have provided the necessary basis for the construction. However, there are still some difficulties on the points of induction and proliferation of endothelial cells, development of new materials for scaffold and co-culture of seed cells in scaffold. These difficulties have become the bottle neck of tissue engineered blood vessels. The tissue engineering vessels are nowadays absent in clinical practice. With the progress in researches of tissue engineering, it is strongly believed that human organs and tissues can be constructed using tissue engineering technology, thus satisfying the donors of organ transplantation.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous infusion of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide(rhBNP)versus Sodium Nitroprusside on treating patients with decompensated acute heart failure.Discuss rhBNP 's effect on connective tissue of heart.Methods A total of 44 patients characterized of decompensated acute heart failure were enrolled in this study.The patients were randomLy allocated to rhBNP group who receive rhBNP(1.5?g/kg bolus intravenous injection followed by 0.0075?g/(kg?min)for 24 hours,n=23)and Sodium Nitroprusside group(10 ?g/ rain for 24 hours,n=21 ).Blood pressure,heart rate,dyspnea grade,24 hours fluid in-and-output and improvement in patient symptoms and signs were evaluated and adverse events were documented.Results Dyspnea and symptom im- provements were much more significant in rhBNP group compared to Sodium Nitroprusside group(P

Esthesioneuroblastoma is one of the most uncommon nasal malignancies which is characterized by low incidence and high misdiagnosis rate.The only prognosis factor is the metastasis on lymph node of neck.Its clinical symptoms are associated with tumor infiltrating extent.Pathological diagnosis is the “gold standard” on esthesioneuroblastoma,and the Kadish staging based on the image is the most important staging standard.The traditional operation therapy mode has been replaced by the combined method of operation and radiotherapy,with the adjunctive therapy of chemotherapy.

Diffusion tensor imaging is a non-invasive MRI technique which can identify changes of cerebral microstructure that CT and MRI is difficult to find, especially in the change of nerve fibers direction, which can be used for the researches of evaluation, recovery mechanism and prognosis of neurology. It has been applied in rehabilitation of motor, language and recognition of post-stroke patients.

How to remove the well fixed cement or cementless prosthesis and get a completely distal cement removal in the rTHR are critical to the outcome of revision. Because of higher rate of union, excellent intraoperative exposure, and adjustment of abductor tension, ETO has been widely applied to rTHR and complicated primary THR by foreign scholars. Furthermore, this technology has wide indications, very few contraindications, high cure rates,and low complications rate. ETO turns out to be a safe and effective revision technology. In the article, the indication, contraindication, complications and advantages of this technique were reviewed.
