Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of hydroxy safflor yellow A ( HSYA ) on angiogenesis of H22 tumor-bearing mice and it's effects on the protein expression of MMP-3 .Methods After establishing the hep-atoma model for 24 h, the mice were randomly divided into control group , sorafenib group and HSYA group , the dose HSYA group received intraperitoneal injection at different dosages (1.125 and 2.25 mg/kg).The pathologi-cal changes were examined with HE staining , immunohistochemical staining and Western blot were applied to meas-ure the expression of angiogenesis related factor ( MMP-3 ) and we also detected the microvessel density with CD 34 . Results Compared with control group , the tumor cells proliferation and the new angiogenesis in HSYA group were suppressed .The expression of MMP-3 in HSYA group was significant reduced .Especially the dose of 2.25 mg/kg HSYA group ( P<0.01 ) , and tumor MVD-CD34 was also significantly reduced ( P<0.01 ) .But the effect is not better than sorafenib group .Conclusions HSYA may inhibit angiogenesis of tumor tissue in a certain concentration range and the anti-angiogenesis effect of HSYA may be related to inhibition of the protein expression of matrix met-alloproteinase-3 .

BACKGROUND:Foreign scholars have obtained a success to cure fracture by implanting the complex of red bone marrow and formation factor.Due to the in vitro culture process is not necessary,the complex of red bona marrow and scaffold formation factor is only required to be implant immediately,called uncellular tissue engineered bone.OBJECTIVE:This study innovatively constructs uncellular tissue engineered bone with autologous red bone marrow wrapped by fascial flap with pedicle,and validates the superiority of repairing bone defects.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Homebody controlled animal experiment was performed in the Hebei North University and the Experiment Center of the Affiliated Hospital to Hebei North University from December 2007 to February 2009.MATERIALS:A total of 24 News Zealand albino rabbits,aged 4-5 months; uncellular tissue engineered bone was a mixture of autologous red bone marrow and osteoinductive absorbing materials containing bone morphogenetic proteins.METHODS:Bone defect models were induced on adult New Zealand rabbits' right radial bone,left side served as control group,only implanted with osteoinductive absorbing materials complex,while right side served as experiment group,which contained fascial flap with pedicle.A fascial flap prepared with capillary network containing nameless blood vessel pedicle was located to be adjacent to the bone defect using micro-surgical technique,to wrap the tissue engineered bone and to fill the bone defect.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:At 4,8,12,16 weeks postoperation,six rabbits were tested by radiograph,spectrodensitometry,gross morphology observation,histological inspection,quantitative analysis of bone morphometry in bone defect area and analysis of vessels image in the junctional zone.RESULTS:①X-ray determination:At 16 weeks,the implant surrounding bone defects formed bone shaft structure in the control group,cortical bone was not continuous and medullary cavity was obstructed; in the experiment group,normal bone shaft structure was formed and recanalization of medullary cavity was observed.②Histological observation:At 16 weeks,few vessels grew into implant in the control group,mature bone trabecular were observed,and medullary cavity was obstructed; in the experiment group,the implanting materials were completely degraded and substituted by new bone,mature bone structure formed and recanalization of medullary cavity was observed.③Quantitative analysis of bone morphometry in bone defect area:At 4,8,12,16 weeks postoperation,the volume of bone trabecula in the experiment group was more than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).④Analysis of vessels image in the junctional zone:The area of vessels in the unit area in the experiment group was greater than that in control group in every time stage (P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The uncellular tissue engineering complex constructed by autologous red bone marrow wrapped by fascial flap with pedicle shows double effects of hymeno-inducing regeneration of bone and the vascularization.It is feasible to repair large-segment bone defects.It has obvious therapeutic effect in the aspects such as reducing the bone defect reparation time and advancing the quantity and quality of the bone generation.

Objective To study the effect of fascial flap with vessels inducing the vascularization of uncel-lular tissue engingeering complex and the regenration of bone on the repair of bone defect, so as to provide the basis for the clinical application. Methods An animal model of bone defect on adult Newzland rabbits'right radial bone was established .and autologous red bone marrow were taken out and mixed into uncellulax tissue engineering comple-xes with OAM which contained BMP. The experiment animals were divided into two groups : experiment group and control group( n = 12 for each ). The control group was only implanted with complexes, meanwhile, the experiment group had fascial flap with vessels. By microsurgery technology,a non-named fascial flap with vessels was prepared, which belonged to capillary net,around the bone defect,and let it wrap tissue engineering complex,fill up bone de-fect. In a certian time, radiograph(X-ray) and light density measure was conducted, gross morphology and histological inspection was exmained. Bone shape measurement analysis and image of vessel analysis were conducted. All the sta-tistics were analyzed by the SPSS 11.5 software. Results Because of mechanically preventing fiber connective tis-sues and surrounding soft tissues from entering the areas of bone defect by fascial flap, it can keep bone defect having a relative stable environment ;The subfascial space itself, and also the shape and mass of filled-in subject had the de-cisive effect on the results of the regeneration of the bone; Owing to the establishment of blood supply during the con-structing tissue engineering complex. The experiment group was obviously superior to the control group. Compared with control group,the absor bance obviously increased in experiment group [(0. 732 ± 0. 021 ) vs (0. 651± 0.018)] (P < 0. 001 ) four weeks after the operation; also the bone trabecular body was significantly increased [(2.32±2.57)% vs(19.37±3.52)% ,(8.37±3.52)% vs(30.24±3.42)% ,(28.57±2.98)% vs(58.76± 4.62)% ,(47.24±3.42)% vs(88.72±5.84)%] ,and capillary area [(5.04±1.62)% vs(17.53±2.86)%, (10.37 ±2.96)% vs(35.24±1. 13)%,(18.20±2. 12)% vs(48.76±4. 62)%,(17.82 ±2. 74)% vs (57.72 ±5.84)%] (P <0.05) at each time period(4 weeks,8 weeks,12 weeks,and 16 weeks after operation). Despite of growth of implant's internal vessel, the number and speed of forming bone trabecula and cartilaginous tis-sue, even developing of mature bone structure, recreating of diaphysis structure, reconstructing of marrow cavity, ab-sorbing and decomposing of implant, the experiment group was obviously superior to the control group. Conclusions The induction of fascial flap with vessels shows double effects, one of which is the vascularization of uncellular tis-sue engineering complex and the other is membrane guided bone regeneration, So the method has a wonderful effect on the repair of bone defect.
