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 investigate changes of striatal DAT following hypoxic ischemic (HI)brain injury in newborn piglets using 11C-N-2-carbomethoxy-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-tropane (CFT) PET/CT,and to evaluate the value of 11C-CFT PET/CT in brain injury.Methods Newborn piglets with HI brain injury (n =20) were taken as a model group,and five piglets were used as a control group.Radioligand 11CCFT (55.5-74.0 MBq) was injected through the jugular vein,and PET/CT imaging was performed to observe the changes of striatal DAT in newborn piglets.The ST/occipital lobe (OC) ratio was calculated.Model group was divided into 0-6 h,20-24 h,44-48 h and 68-72 h sub-groups after HI in accordance with the imaging time.The piglets were sacrificed immediately after 11C-CFT PET/CT scanning,and then the brains were removed for pathological analysis.Data analysis was performed with one-way analysis of variance and Pearson linear correlation analysis.Results After intravenous injection of 11C-CFT,the radioactivity accumulation in cortical,striatum,and cerebellum was shown clearly in the control and model groups.The radioactivity accumulation was lower in the white matter.The radioactivity in cortical and cerebellum exhibited decreased with time,while the striatum was still clear.After HI,the ST/OC activity ratio in the striatum was initially increased,and the ratio of 0-6 h group (1.34 ± 0.04) was statistically significant compared with that of thecontrol group (1.18 ± 0.06 ; F =4.658,P ＜ 0.05),followed by a gradual decrease.ST/OC ratios of other HI subgroups were 1.27 ±0.01,1.27 ±0.10 and 1.18 ±0.05,respectively.There was a positive correlation between the number of DAT positive neurons ((13 ± 3),(13 ± 4),(8 ±3) and (4 ±4)/high power field) and 11C-CFT ST/OC activity ratios (r =0.844,P ＜0.05).Conclusion 11C-CFT PET/CT study can accurately reflect the changes of DAT in the striatum,and the amount of DAT is related to the severity of the ischemic insult in a newborn piglet model of HI.

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.

Abstract Recent years have witnessed more attention paid to the health effects of the natural radionuclide 226Ra, and a series of research carried out on the detection methods of 226Ra at home and abroad. The common 226Ra detection methods are emanation scintillation, gamma spectrometry, liquid scintillation counting, alpha spectrometry and alpha counting. Emanation scintillation is mature enough as a classical method, while gamma spectrometry and liquid scintillation counting proceed fast. Due to the radiation of 226Ra, these detection methods still have the problems such as the requirement for large samples, long detection periods, complicated steps, high detection limits and low recovery rates. This paper reviews the five methods above and summarize their advantages and disadvantages, so as to provide the reference for selecting and optimizing the detection methods for different samples as well as perfecting the standard method in China.
