objective: To develop injectable tissue engineered bone through injection of osteoblasts/alginate composite in rabbits. Methods: Bone marrow cells isolated from iliac bone of New Zealand rabbits were cultured and induced to differentiate into osteoblasts.The osteoblasts were mixed with 25 g/L sodium alginate solution to generate osteoblasts/alginate composite with final cellular density of 5?10 6/ml. 0.17 g of sterilized CaSO 4 powder was then added to 2 ml osteoblasts/alginate. The mixture was injected into the dorsal subcutaneous tissue at left side of 6 New Zealand rabbits. The alginate composite without osteoblasts was injected into the right side as the control. 4 and 8 weeks after implantation, the bone formation was evaluated by means of gross, X ray and histological observation. Results: 4 weeks after implantation, cartilage formation was observed and 8 weeks after implantation,new mature bone was observed in the osteoblasts/alginate composites. No new bone formation was observed in all of the control specimens. Conclusion: Calcium alginate can be used as a carrier in injectable bone tissue engineering, and new bone can be created through injection of osteoblasts/alginate composites in immune animals.

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture at the thirteen ghost points in treating postpartum depression and its effect on the quality of life. Methods Sixty patients with postpartum depression were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture at the thirteen ghost points, while the control group was by oral administration of Fluoxetine. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and the Short-Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36) were compared before and after intervention. Results The HMAD score was significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P＜0.05). There was a significant difference in comparing the HAMD score between the two groups after intervention (P＜0.05). There were significant differences in comparing the post-treatment bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), mental health (MH), and health transition (HT) between the two groups (P＜0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture at the thirteen ghost points can effectively improve the postpartum depression and the quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the relation between the AT 1 receptor gene polymorphism and some biochemical indices of essential hypertension patients. Methods:Sixty-four patients of mild-moderate essential hypertension were not given any anti-hypertension drugs for 5 half lives,then used the PCR-RFLP to detect the AT 1 receptor gene type and measured the basic blood pressure at the same time. After that, fasting serum glucose , serum total cholesterol(TC) , triglyceride(TG) , high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) , blood urea nitrogen(BUN) , creatinine(Cr) were measured in all subjects. Results:①The frequency of AC gene type in these essential hypertension patients and the C1166 allete of AT 1 receptor gene was 23.4% and 11.7%. ②There was a remarkable difference on TG between two gene groups. ③There were obvious difference on Cr and UA between two gene groups .④There were no obvious difference on Glu, TC ,HDL-C ,LDL-C ,BUN between AC and AA gene type. Conclusion:①The concentration of TG of AC gene type is lower than that of AA , there may be relativity between two gene type. ② A1166/C gene polymorphism may be associated with renal function. AA gene type may have poorer renal function. ③A1166/C gene polymorphism may be not relative with Glu,TCH ,HDL-C ,LDL-C ,BUN.
