Objective To observe the effect of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) transplantation on high mobility group box1 (HMGB1) migration in stroke mouse. Methods BMMNCs were harvest and injected intravenously into stroke mouse model; modified neurological severity scores(mNSS) were tested; brain infarct vol-ume and related protein expression levels were measured, then HMGB1 migration were observed. Results mNSS score and brain infarct volume in transplantation group weresignificantly lower than vehicle group , while HMGB1 expression were significantly higher than vehicle group. The expression levels of RAGE and TNF-α in transplanta-tion group were significantly lower than vehicle group. Immunofluorescence assay showed that the release of HMGB1 in brain penumbra area of transplanted mouse was significantly less than vehicle groups. Conclusions BMMNCs transplantation could inhibit the release of HMGB1 in mouse brain.

The strategy of silico cloning based on the express sequence tags sequence (ESTs)and genome database is a new technique developed in recent years,and the core of the technique is to use bioinformatics technique to assemble and extend ESTs to get part of cDNA and even all sequence.It has the virtue of low investment,high speed,low and well-targeted technical requirements,etc.The relationship between human disease and genes has been widely confirmed,therefore,silico cloning technology will become the important means of disease research.This paper aims at elaborating the progress of silico cloning in medicine.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of an ileal reservoir with self controllable urination. Methods A segment of ileum was under taken,the middle portion of which was made into a N shaped reservoir and the proximal portion used as the afferent limb.The distal ileum was pulled out and the two skin flaps were taken and encircled the efferent ileum to constitute the urinary outflow.A urinary controller similar to penile clamp was applied to control the urination with a balloon catheter. Results Ten dogs and five patients underwent this procedure and the patients were followed up for 3 to 14 months.Urodynamic examination showed that on the third month,the reservoir in animals reached a maximum capacity of (150?40)ml and a full filling pressure of (24.4?5.3)cmH 2O.The reservoir in the patients reached a maximum capacity of (290?80)ml,a full filling pressure of (36.3?8.2)cmH 2O,a maximum urinary flow rate of (20.3?4.7)ml/s with no residual urine.X ray examination showed good excretory function of the kidney without hydronephrosis.All patients can control urination themselves through the use of the urinary controller. Conclusions The new procedure has the advantages of self control lable of urination,simple surgical performance and few complications.

BACKGROUND:Articular cartilage is a highly diferentiated tissue, which is very limited in its ability to repair after injury. Stem cel therapy for cartilage repair has completely solved this problem. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism that diferent growth factors induce the diferentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into chondrocytes. METHODS:Passage 5 rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were induced by diferent growth factors and their combinations, including transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) group, TGF-β1+insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) group, and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2)+IGF-1 group, TGF-β1+BMP-2 group, TGF-β1+IGF-1+ BMP-2 group, and blank control group. At 21 days of induction, cels were stained with alcian blue and alizarin red; RT-PCR was employed to detect colagen I mRNA expression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Alcian blue staining showed metachromasia in the cytoplasm and mesenchyma, and proteoglycan was expressed green; alizarin red staining showed no orange calcium nodules. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were preliminarily deduced to diferentiate into chondrocytes, but could not express the cel phenotypes of bone cels. In the blank control group, the expression of colagen I mRNA was negative. Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the mRNA expression of colagen I was lower in the BMP-2+IGF-1 group, but higher in the TGF-β1+BMP-2 group and TGF-β1+IGF-1+BMP-2 group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the expression of colagen I mRNA was highest in the TGF-β1+IGF-1+BMP-2 group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that TGF-β1 alone is able to induce the chondrogenic diferentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, and the combination of TGF-β1, IGF-1 and BMP-2 can play the biggest role to induce the chondrogenic diferentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels.

Objective To study a new procedure of surgical repairment of rectourethral fistula.Method By the perineum approach one stage urethroplasty using island skin tubes from perineum and scrotum has been adopted after the resection of fistular urethra and repairment of the defect of the anterior wall of rectum to substitute the defect of urethra in 9 cases during 1992-1998.Result The 9 cases were all cured and have been followed-up for 2 6 years without recurrence of rectourethral fistula.Conclusion This procedure was regarded as an ideal technique for the closure of rectourethral fistula especially for those complicated with urethra stricture.

Wound repair is a complex biological process and great progresses have been achieved during the last ten years because of the integration of molecular biology and traumatology. However, some fundamental principles in these fields, which are closely related to developmental biology and comparative biology have not been fully understood. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the incorporation basic knoweldge with technology of developmental biology and comparative biology in the research of wound repair before better understanding and new discoveries are achieved in this field.

Objective To study the chemical constituents in the seeds of Zizyphus jujuba var.spinosa.Methods The compounds were isolated by silica gel column chromatography and their structures were established by spectroscopic methods.Results A new keto-dammarane type saponin,jujuboside H(Ⅰ),along with three known compounds protojujuboside A(Ⅱ),spinosin(Ⅲ),and betulic acid(Ⅳ)were isolated.Conclusion Compound Ⅰ is a new compound named jujuboside H.

Objective To explore the effects of fat on healing of porcine skin wounds so as to provide a new strategy to promote skin wound repair after injury. Methods Forty-eight full-thickness skin wounds were produced on both sides of the back in 6 male minipigs (8 wounds in each animal). These wounds were then randomly divided into 4 groups, i.e. saline control group, fat autografting group, fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) treatment group and epidermal growth factor (EGF) treatment group. On day 3, 7, 14 and 21 after wounding, the area and the volume of wounds were measured, and histological examination was performed to evaluate the speed and quality of wound healing in different groups. Results On days 3 and 7, the amount of granulation tissue and vessel density in fat treatment group were significantly more abundant compared with other groups. Wound area and volume in fat treatment wounds were markedly decreased compared with those in other groups (P

Objective The study combined multiple local flaps to repair small or medium-sized area of facial skin and soft tissue defects,and to explore the advantages of the local flap collaboration repair.Methods Following the partition repair principle and depending on the wound size and location of these defects,the appropriate local flap was selected to cover the wound.Therefore,the incision was hidden and conformed to the face natural contour or skin wrinkles.Results 77 patients were treated in this group,74 cases got phase] healing and the other 3 got phase Ⅱ healing; all were followed-up for 1 to 8 months.The repair flap and surrounding skin had good similarity in terms of color,texture and contour,the incisions were hidden and the scars were not obvious; no tumor had recurred.The face contour and visual effects were good,and the aesthetic results were satisfactory.Conclusions The combined application of several different local skin flap to repair facial trauma defects,can not only reduce the overall difficulty and risk,reduce surgical complications,but also improve the repair quality,to maximize the recovery of facial aesthetic appearance.
