Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2008;12(45):8969-8972
BACKGROUND: Several studies have demonstrated that degradable polycaprolactone film has no apparent influences on cellular immune function of rat critical organs including heart, liver, and kidney, and possesses the prerequisite of anti-adhesion formation.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of degradable polycaprolactone film in preventing rat peritoneal adhesion following surgery.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The present randomized, controlled animal experiment was performed at the Department of Physiology, Jilin University.MATERIALS: A total of 120 male Wistar rats, weighing 180-220 g, were included in this study. Peritoneal adhesion was induced in all rats. Non-bio-degradable film was sourced from Wuhan Boster Company, China. Polycaprolactone film was purchased from U.C.C Company. England.METHODS: All 120 rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, with 40 rats per group: control, non-bio-degradable film, and polycaprolactone film. Peritoneal adhesion was induced in all rats. The non-bio-degradahle film and polycaprolactone film groups were subjected to peritoneal wound cover with non-bio-degradable film and polycaprolactone film, respectively. From day 1 following surgery, each rat daily received an intraperitoneal injection of 4 mL 2 g/L pseudomonas enzyme, for a total of 3 successive days.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At 1, 3, 7, and 30 days following surgery, 10 rats were selected from each group for observation of peritoneal adhesion.RESULTS: Totally 120 rats were included in the result analysis. Peritoneal adhesion was successfully induced in rats from the control group. From day 7 following surgery, the peritoneal adhesion rate was significantly lower in the polycaprolactone film group than in the control group (P<0.01). In the non-bio-degradable film group, the peritoneal adhesion rate exhibited decreasing followed by increasing tendency; by day 30, the adhesion rate was significantly higher compared to the polycaprolactone film group (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Polycaprolactone film is degraded by pseudomonas enzyme to avoid the new adhesion caused by foreign stimulation.

Objective To determine the relationship of bone mineral density (BMD) with age and sex hormone in elderly men. Methods The BMD in orthotope lumbar vertebra, femur neck, greater trochanter, Wards triangle region and shaft of femur were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and serum testosterone (TT) and estradiol (E2) were determined by chemiluminescence in 360 elderly men. According to age and BMD, the elderly men were divided into several groups. The differences in BMD, serum TT and E2 among the groups were compared. Results There were 48 cases in osteoporosis group, 72 cases in bone mass reduction group and 240 cases in normal control group. The BMD in femur neck, greater trochanter of femur, Wards triangle region and shaft of femoral were decreased with ageing (F=3. 038,3. 029,3. 024,3. 021, respective, all P<0.05). In>80 age group, the BMD in femur neck, greater trochanter of femur, Wards triangle region and shaft of femoral were (0. 70±0. 140), (0. 682±0. 185), (0. 629±0.211), (0. 986± 0. 160)g/cm2, respectively;In 70-80 age group, they were (0. 829±0. 156), (0. 765±0. 170), (0. 698±0.187), (1. 042±0. 190) g/cm2, respectively;In 60-70 age group, they were (0. 875± 0. 138), (0. 800±0. 130), (0. 731±0. 145), (1. 071±0. 125)g/cm2, respectively. The differences in BMD of L1-4 had no statistical significance among different age groups(F=2. 988, P>0.05). There was no difference in level of serum TT among normal control group, bone mass reduction group an dosteoporosis group (F=3. 032, P>0. 05), while the level of serum E2 in the three groups were (180. 6±62. 3), (130. 5±39.9) pmol/L and (110. 5±68. 5) pmol/L, respectively. Bone mass was decreased with the decreased serum E2 level(F=3. 059,P<0. 05). Conclusions BMD is declined with ageing, and the level of serum E2 may affect the occurrence of osteoporosis in elderly men.
