Acute cartilage injury is one of the most common disorders in orthopaedic clinics.Articular cartilage is known to have a limited capacity to repair or regenerate itself. The disorder is difficult to be dealt with, usually affects the function of joint and may induce the onset of osteoarthrosis.This will result in great economic burdens on the patients and their family and greatly degrade the patient s quality of life. The recent progress in researches on seed cells, culture methods, biological material has provided a new method to repair the acute injury of articular cartilage and thus may solve many problems. The article introduces new advances in seed cells and their culture methods in cartilage tissue engineering.

Since the emergence in 1980s,community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aurues (CA-MRSA) has caught great attention of the researchers and clinical practitioners all over the world. In recent scientific papers,people found that CA-MRSA's capability to adapt itself to the hostile environment and to colonize is a kind of important virulence factor. A newly unveiled gene,designated arginine catabolic mobile element (ACME),in USA300 stains contributes much to this sort of ability. The arginine deiminase encoded by ACME plays an important role in colonization.

Objective To produce bioactive human bone morphogenetic protein-4 by Escherichia coli genetic engineering and investigate the effect of the product, recombinant BMP-4, on the bone marrow stem cells. Methods cDNA of human morphogenetic protein-4 mature peptide was obtained by RT PCR from tissue of human placenta. The gene was constructed in the pET-22b(+) expression vector and expressed in Escherichia coli BL-21 after transformation and induction by IPTG. The harvested protein was proved to be bioactive by inducing ectopic bone information in mouse thigh. The protein was applied to induce the cultured bone marrow stem cell. Shape change of the cell, ability of ALP (alkaline phosphatase) and concentration of OC (osteocalcin) were investigated.

The ability of ALP and concentration of OC of tested group increased significantly than that of the control group. Conclusion The bioactive rhBMP-4 can be produced by Escherichia coli genic engineering, this protein can induce bone marrow stem cells to differentiate into osteoblast cells.

Objective To explore the inhibition of fusing antimicrobial peptides humanβ-defensin 3 and carbohydrate binding do-main on Staphylococcus aureus N315 and Staphylococcus epidermidis 35984.Methods The direct bactericidal test and other molec-ular biology methods were adopted to detect the inhibition role on Staphylococcus aureus strain N315 and Staphylococcus epidermi-dis strain 35984 and the influence on the key genes expression.Results The direct bactericidal test demonstrated that antimicrobial peptides hBD3 and hBD3-CBD had significantly inhibitory effects on staphylococcus aureus N315 and staphylococcus epidermidis 35984;the inhibitory effects of hBD3-CBD was stronger than that of hBD3;the stability of the inhibitory effects of hBD3-CBD also stronger than that of hBD3.In the key gene expression test,there were significant inhibitions on the agr and mecA gene expressions in Staphylococcus aureus N315 and Staphylococcus epidermidis 35984 by hBD3-CBD.At the same time,hBD3-CBD could inhibit the icaA gene expression and promote icaR gene expression in Staphylococcus epidermidis 35984,which indicated that hBD3-CBD could inhibit the biofilm formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis.Conclusion The fusion strategy of antimicrobial peptide has very important significance for improving the antibacterial efficacy of antimicrobial peptides and brings more hope in their future applications.

HIS constitutes part of the technical support and infrastructure indispensable for the running of a modemized hospital. At present, more than 50% of hospitals at or above prefecture and city levels in China have set up HIS. However, because of the lack of reliability of facilities and man-made factors, HIS is apt to break down, which greatly hinders the normai activities of the hospital. The authors argue that wriat affects outpatient service the most in case of a network failure is the charging subsystem for outpatient service and thus offer an emergency charging plan for outpatient service as well as a method for putting it into effect. The workstation in charge of charging regularly downloads relative data on charging for outpatient service from the netvvork, and in case of a netvvork failure, the stan-dalone computer takes over, and when the network retums to normal, the computer then uploads the data it collected during the failure period to the database server, thus ensuring the integrity of the data.

OBJECTIVE To find the safer anesthesia induction methods in children with laryngeal papilloma combined by dyspnea.METHODS 50 laryngeal papilloma children with II degree laryngeal obstruction were randomly divided into 2 groups:inhalational group and intravenous group,no muscle relaxant was used in either of the groups.MAP,and SpO2 were observed at one minute before and after induction.The intubation condition was also assessed and compared between the 2 groups.RESULTS MAP and HR in intravenous group were significantly higher than those of inhaled group after intubation [(68.7?6.4)mmHg vs.(64.0?8.0)mmHg;(142.6? 13.8)bpm vs.(124.6?12.5)bpm;P0.05].For the intubation condition,the satisfactory rate in inhaled group was higher than that of intravenous group,P

Objective To explore the clinical effects of pyloroplasty on proximal gastrectomy in patients with lesions in cardia of the bottom of stomach.Methods One hundred cases of the proximal gastric diseases who were enrolled in the second affiliated hos-pital of Chongqing medical university from the January 2010 to December 2013 were selected in this prospective randomized con-trolled experimental study.Among them,6 cases were excluded,and the other 94 cases were divided into two groups:the experimen-tal group (A),in which 54 patients were underwent additional pyloroplasty surgery;the control group (B),in which 40 patients were underwent with no strings attached pyloroplasty.All patients were followed up.Then,the clinical indicators during hospitaliza-tion,term complications and repeated endoscopy prompted pyloric stenosis and reflux esophagitis situation three months after dis-charged from hospital were observed.Results There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of gastroplegia (P >0.05);there were significant differences in other clinical indicators during the postoperative hospitalization and the incidence rate of compli-cations (P <0.05).Conclusion Proximal gastrectomy additional pyloroplasty could reduce gastric retention,decrease the incidence of reflux esophagitis,shorten the hospital period and could be helpful for recovery,thus it is recommended to be further promoted.

AIM: To observe the effects of dexamethasone on the expression of toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)and the activation of NF-?B of dendritic cells(DC),and investigate the mechanism of dexamethasone suppressing differentiation,maturation,and function of DC.METHODS: DC generated from C57BL/6 murine bone marrow cells were induced by GM-CSF and IL-4.Dexamethasone was added in the DC's culture system,the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry(FCM) to determine the expression of TLR4 & CD11c,and by electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA) to verify the activation of transcription factor NF-?B of DC.RESULTS: Dexamethasone could suppress the expression of CD11c and the activation of NF-?B with a dose-effect relationship in DC,but it could not suppress the expression of TLR4 of DC.CONCLUSION: The mechanism of dexamethasone involved in inhibition of differentiation,maturation,and function of DC is perhaps related to suppression of NF-?B activation.
