Objective:To analyze the curative effect of suppression expression of URG4 on cervical cancer mice and the possible mechanisms.Methods:The expression of URG4 were analyzed in cervical cancer tissues and para-carcinoma tissues.16 male BALB/c nude mice were divided into Group A ( inoculated with URG4-siRNA SiHa cells) and Group B ( inoculated with SiHa cells) . After 4 weeks,mice were executed and analyzed.Results:The expression of URG4 were higher in human cervical cancer tissues than that in para-carcinoma tissues ( P<0.05).After experiment,Group A had a lower tumor weight,but a higher body weight than these of Group B,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Group A mice had a lower levels of URG4 in tumor than that of Group B mice (P<0.05).Group A mice had a lower levels of Ki67 in tumor than that of Group B mice,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Group A mice had lower levels of CyclinD1,β-catenin and C-myc in tumor than these of Group B mice (P<0.05). Conclusion:The expression of URG4 in cervical cancer tissue is up-regulation.Suppression expression of URG4 can suppress tumor growth in vivo,which may though suppress the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the expression and early diagnosis value of CD64 index levels in peripheral blood cells in patients with postoperative traumatic sepsis.Methods A number of 420 trauma patients were enrolled in the study,and they were divided into the postoperative traumatic sepsis group(130 cases)and postoperative general trauma group(290 cases)according to the clinical manifestations. The CD64 levels in peripheral blood were measured by flow cytometry,and the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)and white blood cell count (WBC)were detected.The diagnostic value of these indexes on postoperative traumatic sepsis were evaluated.Results The CD64 index, CRP and WBC levels in postoperative traumatic sepsis group were significantly higher than postoperative general trauma group(P <0.05). After appropriate treatment,the CD64 index,CRP and WBC levels decreased significantly compared with the preoperative levels(P <0.05). The correlation analysis showed that the CD64 index in peripheral blood and CRP level were positively correlated(r =0.79,P <0.01).How-ever,the CD64 index in peripheral blood and WBC level were of no significant correlation(r =0.028,P >0.05).The ROC curve analysis showed that when CD64 index(7.21)considered as the boundary for early diagnosis of postoperative traumatic sepsis,the sensitivity and spe-cificity of diagnosis for postoperative traumatic sepsis were 85.1% and 87.8%,the area under the ROC curve(AUC)was 0.865(95%CI 0.784 ~0.929),which was significantly better than CRP index.Conclusion The expression of CD64 is higher in patients with postoperative traumatic sepsis,which can be used as an effective indicator for early diagnosis of postoperative traumatic sepsis,and it has an important clin-ical application value.

Objective To establish an animal model of sacral nerve root avulsion in rats and e-valuate its efficiency. Methods A total of 20 adult SD rats (either sex) were chosen at random to es-tablish the sacral nerve root avulsion model by avulsing the fight L4-6 nerve roots out of intervertebral fo-ramina without laminectomy. The left side was set as control group. The models were evaluated in aspects of survival rate, Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scores, somatosensory evoked potential (SEP), horse radish peroxidase (HRP) tracing, bilateral weight and cross section area (CSA) of muscle biceps femo-ris, fiber of triceps surae and anterior tibial muscle. Results Of all, 19 rats were survived but one died, with survival rate of 95.0%. The BBB score was (10.78+3.15) points in experimental group and 21 points in control group. The success rate of establishing animal model was 89.5% ,for there detected no SEP in bilateral cerebral cortex of the wounded extremity of 17 rats. HRP showed positive reaction in the spinal segment of L4-6 in two rats but negative in 17, with success rate of 89.5%. There was statistical difference in aspects of weight and muscle fiber CSA of double biceps femoris, triceps surae and anterior fibial muscle between experimental group and control group. Electron microscope found denervation chan-ges including muscle fiber atrophy, nucleus shifting to (center and muscle satellite cell. Conclusion A-vulsion of L4-6 sacral nerve root out of vertebral canal is a feasible and ideal method to establish the avui-sion model of sacral nerve root injury in rats.

With the continuous development of bone tissue engineering, a variety of emerging bone graft materials provided various methods for repairing bone defects. Early and rapid accomplishment of revascularization of materials interior after implantation of bone transplantation materials is a difficulty faced to bone tissue engineering. Blood vessels ingrowth provides the requisite netritional support for the regeneration reconstruction of bone tissue, for this reason, vascularization plays a significant role in bone tissue engineering. However,there is not a golden standard strategy of vascularization at present. Scaffold materials, cells and growth factors still are three indispensable elements in tissue engineering, and are cardinal points of the promoting vascularization strategies. Multiple growth factors or multiple cells combined with scaffolds, which are hot spots, have obtained excellent vascularization. This review focused on the comprehensive strategies for promoting the successful vascularization of tissue engineered scaffolds.
