BACKGROUND: The repair of articular cartilage defect is always a problem that is dedicatedly solved by doctors of orthopaedics. Autologous perichondrium, periosteum or allografting of cartilage have been used previously; however, the source of the donor is limited, the fixation is difficult as well as the occurrence of endochondrial ossification and delamination between the inferior cartilage and reparative cartilage, etc. Type Ⅱ collagen, the main component of cartilage matrix, has certain effects in the repair of articular cartilage defect.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of type Ⅱ collagen sponge filling on the repair of articular cartilage defect.DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial.SETTING and MATERIALS: The study was conducted in the Guangzhou Institute of Traumatic Surgery. Materials were 24 adult male purebred New Zealand Rabbits(48 knees), ordinary grade, with a body mass of (2.29 ±0. 25) kg. Animals were fed with standard feeding in separate cage.INTERVENTIONS: A full-thickness defect in articular cartilage was made on the femoral trochlear surface by a drill of 5 mm in diameter and 3 mm in depth. Rabbits were allocated into filling group(type Ⅱ collagen sponge was grafted into left keen joint defect) and control group(right knee joint defect site was set as control) according to random number table.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gross morphological and histological observation of the defect repair in each dual week within 12 weeks after operation.RESULTS: During 10 - 12 weeks, in cuntrol group: The defect area was repaired by white and soft tissue that had no resistance to press. The repaired tissue was still lower than the surrounding articular surface with clear boundary. By histological observation, it was found that the defect was repaired by the mechanism similar to inflammatory reaction and the defect is ultimately filled by the hyperplasia of hyaline degenerative fibrous tissues. In filling group: the defect was repaired by semi-transparent, smooth, textured tissues with polish that had resistance to press as well as elasticity. The repaired tissue was almost similar to the shape of the surrounding cartilage,difficult to be distinguished. After histological observation, it was found that there was no inflammatory reaction, but active hyperplasia of inner bonetissue and cartilage tissues; a lot of osteoid tissues and trabeculation were found. Newlborn cartilage was fused with surrounding cartilage tissue and connected with surrounding tissues. Type Ⅱ collagen had significantly promoting effects in the repair of articular cartilage defect, and the repaired cartilage was close to normal cartilage. CONCLUSION: The self-made high purity type Ⅱ collagen sponge has favorable promoting effects in the repair of articular cartilage defect with good histocompatibility but without obvious toxic side effect.

Objective To examine the stability of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)during serum incubation at different temperature and time periods.Methods Ten healthy volunteers (4 males and 6 females,aged 24 to 59 years)from Beijing Hospital were recruited in May 2015.Fasting venous blood samples were collected and centrifuged to separate the sera.Serum samples were incubated at 4℃ for 24 h,25℃for 0,1,8 and 24 h (with or without an LCAT inhibitor).Serum to-tal cholesterol (TC),total free cholesterol (TFC)HDL-C and HDL-FC were measured by the HPLC Method.Results HDL-FC and HDL-C changed -6.91% and -2.17% during serum incubation at 4℃for 24h.TFC,HDL-FC and HDL-C changed significantly (averaged -13.70%,-25.88% and -1.53% respectively)during serum incubation at 25℃ for 24 h,in which the decrease of TFC and HDL-FC were inhibited by the addition of the LCAT inhibitor.The decrease of HDL-C was even higher in the presence of the LCAT inhibitor.Conclusion Serum TFC,HDL-C and HDL-FC levels changed during serum incubations,which were caused by the LCAT and CETP activities and the transfer of cholesterol among lipoproteins. For accurate measurement of serum HDL-C,prolonged serum storage should be avoided in clinical laboratories.

Objective To investigate the effects of decoction, ethanol extract, and formulated granules of different processed products of Polygonum multiflorum in conventional doses on kidney injury, renal cell apoptosis and expression of related protein in SD rats. Methods Half male and half female SD rats were randomly divided into 7 groups according to their body weight:normal control group, traditional water extract of raw Polygonum multiflorum group(SW group),traditional water extract of prepared Polygonum multiflorum group(ZW group), 70% alcohol extract of raw Polygonum multiflorum group(SA group),70% alcohol extract of prepared Polygonum multiflorum group(ZA group), raw Polygonum multiflorum granules without water decocting extraction group(SK group)and prepared Polygonum multiflorum granules without water decocting extraction group(ZK group). Among them,the rats in the normal group were intragastrically given distilled water,and the other groups were treated with the corresponding drug liquids[6 g/(kg·d)of crude drug]for consecutive 30 days. At the end of the experiment,changes in the levels of blood urea nitrogen(BUN), creatinine(Crea), uric acid(UA)and β2-microglobulin(β2-MG)were measured by a semiautomatic biochemical analyzer. In addition,the histopathological changes of kidney tissues were examined,renal cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay, and the expression of Bcl-2 and BAX was determined by immunohistochemical analysis. Results Compared with the normal control group,the levels of BUN in each drug administration group were significantly lower(P<0.05,P < 0.01). The levels of Crea, UA, and β2-MG in each drug administration group all showed an increasing tendency compared with the normal control group, especially, the level of β2-MG in the ZA group was significantly increased(P< 0.05). The result of TUNEL assay showed that the average optical density in each drug administration group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group(P< 0.01). In addition,the expression level of BAX in the SA group was significantly increased(P < 0.01), but expression of Bcl-2 showed no significant difference among the groups(P> 0.05). Conclusions Our findings indicate that the long-term administration of Polygonum multiflorum with a daily dose of 6 g/kg of crude drug can cause some damages to the kidneys, and the degrees of kidney injuries are ranked as alcohol extract > formulated granules > water extract. We would suggest that for patients with impaired renal fuction,Polygonum multiflorum should be used with caution, and do not used for patients with severely impaired renal function. For people long-term using Polygonum multiflorum for health care purposes, it is recommended only to use its water extract,and to control renal function,especially,β2-microglobulin,at regular intervals,to avoid irreversible kidney injury.
