BACKGROUND:Pretreatment is a dominant way to increase the histocompatibility of biomaterials,but many pretreatments are not satisfactory due to some reactions,such as calcification,cytotoxic reaction and reducing the tension resistance.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of immunogenicity,scaffold tension and cell growth factor on the non-pretreated scaffold biomaterials,and to prepare the homograft decellularized scaffolds.DESIGN:Contrast observation for the histomorphology.SETTING:The experiments were carried out in the Department of General Surgery,Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from June 2006 to March 2007.MATERIALS:Wistar rats of SPF grade were adopted in this study.Sodium dodecyl sulfate from BioteehGrade Company(U.S.A.);basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from Peprotech Company(UK);dynamometer from Suzhou Electrical Element First Factory (China).METHODS:The vena cava inferior from rats were selected as experimental materials,we decellularized the epithelial cells from vein according to the improved Booth's methods with low osmotic Tris buffer containing sodium dodecyl sulplate,and then reserved the extracellular matrix.After fixing,the decellularized scaffold was stained by hematoxylin and eosin,the collagen fibers were observed and photographed by light microscope and scanning electron microscope.Changes of the intensity of the scaffolds were measured before and after decellularization.The deceilularized scaffolds were transplanted subcutaneously at homogeneity rats to observe whether the scaffolds had induced immunological rejection.In combination with bFGF and/or VEGF,the scaffolds were transplanted subcutaneously at homogeneity rats and took out two weeks later,in order to exam the new vessels in the scaffolds by immunohistochemistry.Dynamometer was applied to compare the change of the intensity of the scaffolds before and after transplantation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Change of the intensity of the scaffolds after decellularization and transplantation.Formation of new vessels in scaffolds.Local rejection of the scaffold subcutaneously transplanted into rats.RESULTS:The endothelial cells of the vein were completely removed when incubated with Tris buffer containing 0.03% sodium dodecyl sulfate for 48 hours.Results of hematoxylin and eosin staining,light microscope and scanning electron microscope showed that,the main components of extracellular matrix (collagen fiber) were reserved.There was no significant difference in the morphological structure and the intensity of collagenous scaffolds before and after decellalarization (P>0.05).There was no apparent reject reaction at the embedded site,local incisions healed well.New vessels could be observed in the scaffolds two weeks later.There was no significant difference in the intensity of collagenons scaffolds before and after inoculation (P>0.05).CONCLUSION:The low osmotic Tris buffer containing 0.03% sodium dodecyl sulfate is suitable for decellularizing the vein.The homograft collagenous scaffolds exhibit no rejection after transplantation,and the intensity of the scaffolds does not descend.VEGF and bFGF can improve the growth of new vessels in the decellularized scaffolds,and have a synergistic effect.

Objective To summarize our experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of giant colonic lipoma,and enhance awareness of the disease and avoid misdiagnosis.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 5 cases of giant colonic lipoma that were mistaken for colon cancer,and evaluate the possible reasons of misdiagnosis.Results Colonic lipoma is an uncommon benign tumor.Most cases with larger tumor size were misdiagnosed as colon cancer when they suffered from the symptoms of abdominal pain,bloody stool,abdominal mass,even bowel obstruction and intussusception.Barium enema and colonoscopy are important diagnostic means.Contrast enhanced CT scan can provide definitive topographical information identifying a colonic lipoma.Surgical resection was performed in all the 5 cases.Conclusion Giant colonic lipoma with intussusception can mimic a colonic carcinoma leading to misdiagnosis.

The diethyl sulfate (DES) mutagenesis was chosen for the mutagenic treatment to Phellinus igniarius, and the relationship of mutagenesis time and death rate was investigated with 0.5% DES. The differences of mycelial growth speed, liquid fermentation mycelia biomass, morphology and pigment classes of secondary metabolites production speed and antioxidant activities of metabolite products were discussed. The study displayed that DES mutagenesis could change mycelial morphology without obvious effect on mycelium growth, and the DES mutagenesis improved antioxidant activities of the active ingredients of P. igniarius and had more antioxidant activity of hypoxia/sugar PC12 nerve cells than that of P. igniarius.

Objective To explore the relationship between plasma ghrelin levels and glucose and lipid metabolisms of child and adolescent obesity.Methods 30 cases of obesity and 30 healthy normal weisht children and adolescents with same age and gender were selected.Plasma ghrelin level,serum insulin(INS),C-peptide(CPE),fasting blood glucose(FBG),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoproteins(HDL),low-density lipoproteins(LDL)were measured.Results For the obesity group:Plasma ghrelin level significantly decreased [(15.49±1.98)vs(19.47 ±1.50)μg/L]compared with control(P<0.05);BMI,waistline,FBG,INS were very significantly increased(28.19±3.83)vs(21.07±1.53)kg/m2;(88.60±6.13)vs(78.52 ±4.40)cm;(5.23±0.49)vs(4.59 ±0.63)mmol/L;(22.32 ±3.50)vs(16.98±2.50)μIU/ml,respectively compared with control(all P<0.01);TC was significantly increased(5.87±0.88)vs(4.05±0.76)nmol/L compared with control(P<0.05).For the plasma ghrelin level of obesity:The relationship between plasma ghrelin level and body weight,BMI,waistline,INS,TC was obviously negative(r=-0.385,-0.466,-0.336,-0.387,-0.373,respectively,all P<0.01);The relationship between plasma ghrelin level and FBG was obviously negative(r=-0.324,P<0.05);No relationship between plasma ghrelin level and age,body height,CPE,TG,HDLC,LDLC.Conclusion Plasma ghrelin level of children and adolescent obesity was obviously decreased,and was strongly related with disordem of glucose and lipid metabolisms.
