2% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC, medical grade, Taian Ruitai Cellulose Co., Ltd.) was added into calcium phosphate cement (Orthopedics Institute of General Hospital of Chinese PLA) and the mixture was put into distilled water to observe whether the surface was corrupt. Some calcium phosphate cement was immersed in water at different time and the residual cement was weighed 24 hours later. The results showed that there was no surface corruption in calcium phosphate cement with 2% HPMC after shake; the residual weight measured 24 hours later showed that 2% HPMC could shorten calcium phosphate cement cohesion time from 4 minutes to 1 minutes. The experiment indicates that 2% HPMC can significantly increase the waterproof performance of calcium phosphate cement, increase the work time and is adaptable in clinical application.

Articular cartilage repair is limited. Current treatments for cartilage defect are less satisfactory, and rarely restore full function or return the tissue to its native normal state. The rise of tissue engineering holds great promise for the generation of functional cartilage tissue substitutes. The history of cartilage tissue engineering and highlights the applications and advantages of various kinds of scaffolds in cartilage tissue engineering, such as native scaffolds, synthesis scaffolds, composite scaffolds and nanometer scaffolds had been introduced. But native scaffolds have weak strength and immunogenicity insufficiency, synthesis scaffolds degrade quickly, whose degrading products have cytotoxicity,which need further improvement. The application of superficial decoration overcomes the disadvantage of some scaffolds to an extend. Composite scaffolds possess the advantages of several scaffolds, it points out the direction of future scaffolds research. The development of Nanometer technique endows newly-synthesis scaffolds with nano-grade, thus it has some advantages and give a new way for the development of tissue engineering. At the end, the problems of these scaffolds, their trend of development and perspective studies were discussed.

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility, safety and validity of the early enteral nutrition in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). Methods: 15 patients of SAP during April 2002 and June 2003 had received early enteral nutrition through naso jejunal tube. The nutrition and immune index and the rates of complications were analyzed. Results: 2～3 days after nutrition tube placed to stomach, the tube heads in 11 cases reached the jejunum automatically, while 3 cases needed the help of X ray and 1 case needed the help of gastroscopy. All of 15 cases tolerated the enteral nutrition well, and there was no relapse of SAP. The nutrition and immune measurement were improved after 2 weeks' enteral nutrition, without infection of pancreatic necrosis. Conclusions: It is safe, efficient and feasible of the early enteral nutrition in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) through naso jejunal tube. Early enteral nutrition can improve the nutrition, immune function and prognosis.

Objective: To explore the cause and the strategy for air quantity signaling in old patients using mechanic air. Method: Summary and analysis of the causes for air quantity signaling in 187 cases of old patients using respiratory machine. Results: One hundred fifty-one cases showed low-limited air quantity signaling per minute whereas 36 cases presented high-limited air quantity signaling per minute. Conclusion: Judging and removing the obstacle in respiratory machine on time and accurately are the key point raising both the survival rate of severe patients and the successful rate of mechanic air.

Objective To identify the determinants of average length of stay of 16 upper first-class general hospitals from 2000 to 2007.Methods Relative data of 16 upper first-class general hospitals from 2000 to 2007 were collected, and descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were employed to explore the determinants of average length of stay. Results Operation ratio and days before operation of inpatients, ratio of salary to medical income, ratio of doctors to nurses, successful rescue rate in emergency, number of operation tables and staff had impact on average length of stay. Conclusion Resource allocation should be optimized, health care quality be enhanced, reasonable salary scheme be designed, and rational medical insurance policies be implemented in hospitals to shorten average length of stay.

Objective To comprehensively evaluate the competitiveness of hospitals so as to provide objective referrences for the long-term development. Methods Competitiveness evaluation index system and evaluation model were established. Using related data of 2007, 16 hospitals nationwide were evaluated and factor scores and comprehensive scores were obtained by means of factor analysis. Results Four factors were extracted, which were "technical efficiency factor", "economic income factor", "sustainable development factor" and "resource allocation factor". All hospitals were ranked by each factor score and comprehensive score. Conclusion Each hospital has its advantages and disadvantages, therefore, hospital managers should constitute individual development strategy accordingly.

Objective To explore the changs of serum brain type creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-BB),cystatin C of newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) and assess their applications.Methods The serum concentrations of CK-BB and cystatin C were measured by turbidimertric immunoassay in 56 HIE newborns and 42 normal neonates.Results 1.Compared with controls,the concentration of serum CK-BB in moderate HIE newborns had significant differences(P

Aim To observe the effects of cytokine signaling inhibition protein-3(SOCS3) on the liver fibrosis progression and reverse.Methods C57BL/6 mouse model was established by subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride(CCl4).After a successful model of fibrosis, one-month normal diet was given to induce the reverse fibrosis model, while normal mice of the same gender and weight were as control group.Mice were sacrificed at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 weeks, respectively, then the liver tissue was harvested for the observation of its injury by hematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining.Then Masson staining was applied for the detection of changes in collagen, and the immunohistochemistry(IHC) for the observation of type Ⅰ Collagen(Colla-1), alpha smooth muscle actin(α-SMA), transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1) and SOCS3 protein expression.In vitro formation of fibrosis was induced by TGF-β1 stimulating HSC-T6 cell lines, which was then reversed by MDI medium, with co-incubation of HSC-T6 cells with plasmid in the process of the reverse.Western blot was employed to detect SOCS3, Colla-1, α-SMA, TGF-β1 expression.Results The expression of SOCS3 and TGF-β1 increased in mouse model of fibrosis with the worsening fibrosis process and decreased in the reverse process.Over-expression SOCS3 in the reverse process reduced the development of liver fibrosis;meanwhile, the expression of TGF-β1 was also reduced accordingly.Conclusion SOCS3 may influence the development of the liver fibrosis and its reverse via regulating the expression of TGF-β1.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of perioperative glutamine-supplemented total parenteral nutrition support on nutritional status of patients with gastrointestinal cancer.Methods:60 patients with gastrointestinal cancer were randomized into three groups.The group of A(standard TPN group)and B(glutamine-supplemented TPN group) were given an isocaloric(104.6 kJ/(kg?d) and isonitrogenous(0.20 g/kg?d~(-1)) total parenteral nutrition for 10 days(5 days before operation and 5 days after operation) together with a course of chemotherapy before operation lasting for 5 days.The 25%～35% of nitrogenous source of group B was supplied by glutamine dipeptiven.The group of C(control group) was treated by routine program.Nutritional status was determined by body weight,triceps skinfold thickness,arm muscle circumference,plasma concentrations of albumin,prealbumin transferin,glutamine,muscle concentration of glutamine and nitrogen balance.Results:No serious complications occurred in any groups during the trial.Body weight,triceps skinfold thickness,arm muscle circumference,plasma concentrations of prealbumin,transferin and nitrogen balance were not significantly different among groups.On postoperative day 6,the concentration of glutamine in blood and muscle in Gln-TPN group was higher than that in other two groups.Conclusions:Glutamine-supplemented TPN is beneficial to alleviating the state of catabolism caused by chemotherapy and operation.It can raise the concentrations of glutamine in blood and muscle,decrease the loss of muscle and fat tissue and promote synthesis of protein.
