Objective To observe the attachment,shape,function and activity of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells cultured on silk fibroin porous scaffolds in vitro,and to provide experimental foundation for the choice of scaffold in the study of adipocyte tissue engineering.Methods These silk fibroin porous scaffolds were subsequently seeded with hUCMSCs and cultured in vitro.The growth and function of hUCMSCs were observed and measured with fluorescence inverted microscopy,scanning electronic microscopy and MTT methed. Results hUCMSCs were fixed on silk fibroin porous scaffolds 1 or 2 days later,and multiplicative growth was observed on the 5th to 7th day.After about 10 days,the microholes of the scaffolds were overlayed by hUCMSCs.Scanning electronic microscopy and fluorescence inverted microscopy showed that cells adhered to scafold well and there was a lot of extra cellular matrix surrounding cells. Conclusion Silk fibroin porous scaffolds are ideal for attachment,growth,function maintenance and activity of hUCMSCs.and the scaffolds can be used as natural scaffolds for hUCMSCs in 3D culture.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of two new indexes including approximate entropy of oxygen saturation (SpO2ApEn) and saturation impairment time index (SITi) in assessing the severity of hypoxemia in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients.In addition,to investigate the correlation betewwn new indexes and other parameters.Methods The six hour polysomnography (PSG) of 500 patients with OSAHS and snorers in our hospital was retrospectively analyzed.According to the level of apnea hypopnea index (AHI),subjects were divided into four subgroups,namely 113 healthy controls,121 mild OSAHS,118 moderate OSAHS,and 148 severe OSAHA patients.SpO2 ApEn and SITi values among the four groups were compared.the correlations between SpO2 ApEn,SITi and other parameters were analyzed,including AHI,oxygen desaturation index (ODI),the lowest oxygen saturation(LSpO2) and the duration of oxygen saturation lower than 90％ (T ＜ 90％).Next,taking AHI as the gold standard,the significance of SpO2ApEn and SITi in assessing the severity of hypoxemia in OSAHS patients was explored by ROC curve analysis.Results SpO2ApEn and SITi between two each groups were significantly different (P ＜ 0.001) and increased synchronously with AHI.Spearman correlation analysis showed that SpO2ApEn and SITi had a good correlation with AHI (correlation coefficient r =0.765,r =0.678,P ＜ 0.O1).SpO2ApEn and SITi also had a good correlation with ODI,LSpO2and T ＜ 90％.According to the ROC analysis,the Boundary values of SpO2ApEn for mild,moderate and severe OSAHS patients were 16.70,17.81,and 20.03,respectively,and the corresponding SITi values were 3.685,4.055,and 4.445.Conclusion In this study,SpO2ApEn and SITi increased synchronously with AHI,SpO2ApEn and SITi had good correlations with AHI,ODI,LSpO2and T ＜90％.SpO2ApEn and SITi have important clinical significance for assessment of hypoxia severity in OSAHS patients.

BACKGROUND:Wtih hyaluronic acid and col agen by cellautocrine as endogenous scaffolds, cellsheet technology can eliminate the disadvantages of exogenous scaffolds. Human adipose-derived stem cells combined with cellsheet technology used in the study of ful-thickness skin defects have become the current hot spot.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress in adipose-derived stem cellsheet.
METHODS:Articles related to adipose-derived stem cells, cellsheet technology and tissue-engineered skin were retrieved in VIP information and PubMed database from January 1993 to April 2014. The key words were“adipose-derived stem cell, wound healing, tissue-engineered skin, cellsheet”in English and Chinese, respectively. Total y 27 relevant articles were analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Adipose-derived stem cells derived from discarded human adipose tissue are immmunocompatible and multi-potent, rendering them ideal for regenerative medicine applications. cellsheet technology seemingly provides several advantages over traditional tissue reconstruction with biodegradeable scaffolds. Adipose-derived stem cells combined with cellsheet technology can enhance tissue vascularization, promote wound healing, the secreted extracellular matrix provides the microenvironment for the celldifferentiation and growth, so it is expected to build a real three-dimensional tissue-engineered skin.

Objective To study the treatment method of giant neurofibromatosis on body surface.Methods Replantation of the tumor skin,full-thickenss skin grafting and transferring of expanded flap were used to reconstruct the appearance and function after the excision of giant neurofibroma.Results Sixteen cases gained primary healing while other 2 cases with delayed healing after onestage or fractionated resection of giant neurofibroma on body surface.All the 18 patients resumed selfcare and working ability.Conclusions Giant neurofibromatosis has significant damage to the appearance and body shape and also greatly limits the patient's life and work.Patients can resume physical and psychological rehabilitation by surgical resection and plastic surgery treatment.

BACKGROUND: In previous studies on tissue-engineered adipose, the pore size of scaffolds is easily neglected. If the pore size was large, cells would flow away along the pore and could not maintain in the scaffold. If the pore size was small, cells would distribute on the surface of the scaffold, and could not enter the scaffold. Simultaneously, it would be not contribute to growth of new vessels. OBJECTIVE: To screen appropriate silk fibroin porous scaffolds to construct tissue-engineered adipose. METHODS: Under unchanged concentration of flbroin, six kinds of silk fibroin porous scaffolds in different aperture were prepared by changing freezing and drying temperature and time. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) were harvested using attachment method. The potentiality of its osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was detected by chemistry staining. The apertures of six kinds of silk fibroin porous scaffolds were measured by scanning electron microscope. The adhesion and proliferation of hUCMSCs on silk fibroin porous scaffolds in different aperture were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The apertures of six silk fibroin porous scaffolds were (39.94±17.27), (53.51±16.18), (63.97±19.76), (71.08±18.07), (87.33±21.78), (121.97±44.10) μm, respectively. The strong ability of attachment of hUCMSCs appeared in the number two scaffold, and in other materials (number 1,3,4,5,6), there were not any cell in them except number one and three. Therefore, 50 μm might be a suitable aperture to construct tissue-engineered adipose with silk flbroin porous scaffolds using hUCMSCs.
