Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(52):8455-8460
BACKGROUND:The patch materials, originaly applied in the reconstruction and repair of abdominal hernia, have been successfuly applied in the vagina surgery; thus, it has been gradualy generalized in gynecological pelvic floor reconstruction. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical effect of polypropylene patch in older female patients with anterior pelvic organ reconstruction. METHODS:Totaly 24 older female patients with stage III,IV anterior pelvic floor dysfunction were enroled. The individual treatment was formulated according to the wishes of patients, of which 12 patients underwent anterior pelvic organ reconstruction using polypropylene patch (test group), and 12 patients underwent the simply modified vaginal repair treatment (control group). Patients were folowed up for 12 months after repair. The clinical symptom remission, wound healing, pelvic organ prolapse staging and subjective disability index scores were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: After repair, the clinical symptoms in these two groups were significantly aleviated, and there was no infection, poor wound healing and other adverse reactions. At 12 months of folow-up, the subjective disability index scores in these two groups were al significantly lower than those before repair (P < 0.05); moreover, these scores were significantly lower in the test group than the control group (P < 0.05). There were eight cases of pelvic organ prolapse staging I, four cases of pelvic organ prolapse staging II in the test group;seven cases of pelvic organ prolapse staging I, two cases of pelvic organ prolapse staging II, two cases of pelvic organ prolapse staging III and one case of pelvic organ prolapse staging IV in the control group. The degree of organ prolapse in the test group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that polypropylene patch repair used in older female anterior pelvic organ reconstruction is safe and effective, and leads to a low recurrence rate.

Objective To observe the intervention effect of Schisandrin B (Sch B) on cisplatin induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice and its possible mechanism.Methods Twenty-five BALB/c mice were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, low and high dose of Sch B intervention groups and Sch B control group. Olive oil with Sch B was administered by gavage at the dose of 20 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg for low and high dose of Sch B intervention groups respectively; olive oil with Sch B 100 mg/kg was applied by gavage to the Sch B control group; the same volume of olive oil was perfused into the gastric cavity in the blank control group and model group; the above measures in various groups were consecutively used for 5 days. On the 3rd day of the experiment, AKI mice model was established by intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin (20 mg/kg) once and the same measure was given to the low and high dose of Sch B intervention groups; 1 mL/kg normal saline was injected into the peritoneal cavity in the bland control group and Sch B control group. At the end of the experiment, the serum creatinine (SCr) level was determined; apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells were detected by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay; the morphological changes of renal tubular epithelial cells were observed by hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining, and renal tubular injury score was evaluated; p53 protein content in the kidney tissue was measured by immunohistochemical analysis; furthermore, expressional level of p53 protein in renal tissue was tested by Western Blot.Results Compared with the blank control group, the level of SCr (μmol/L: 86.77±10.97 vs. 14.37±0.81), renal tubular injury score (9.67±1.20 vs. 1.00±0.45), the count of apoptotic renal tubular epithelial cells (cells/200 power field: 20.00±2.13 vs. 2.30±0.40) in the model group were all increased (P < 0.05 orP < 0.01), and p53 protein content (cells/400 power field: 13.40±2.66 vs. 57.30±3.82), and the expression of p53 protein [absorbency (A value) ratio: 0.79±0.09 vs. 1.42±0.09] in model group were decreased (bothP < 0.01). Compared with the model group, in the low and high dose Sch B intervented groups, the level of SCr (μmol/L: 21.98±5.52 and 37.45±5.04), renal tubular injury score (5.67±0.76 and 6.17±0.65), the count of apoptotic renal tubular epithelial cells (cells/200 power field: 10.60±1.05 and 11.60±1.45) were all reduced (allP < 0.01), p53 protein content (cells/400 power field: 42.40±3.67 and 45.90±2.31) and the expression of p53 protein (A value ratio: 1.36±0.16 and 1.25±0.11) were increased (bothP < 0.01). HE staining showed the pathological changes of renal tubules, such as renal tubular epithelial cellular fusion, vacuolization, cast formation, and tubular lumen constriction/dilation in model group; the pathological changes in kidney tissues observed in low and high dose Sch B intervention groups were milder than those in model group.Conclusion Sch B plays a beneficial role in the cisplatin induced AKI in mice, and its protective effect might be mediated by decreasing SCr, regulating p53 protein expression level and inhibiting the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells.

Objective To explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and frailty among community aged people. Methods A total of 1571 aged people in two communities in Zhengzhou, Henan, China were recruited by convenience sampling method. They were divided into normal group, overweight group and obesity group according to BMI, and were assessed with Fried Frailty Criteria. Results The rates of overweight and obesity were 38.6%and 10.9%, respectively. There was significant difference in the level of frailty among dif-ferent groups (χ2=86.659, P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that overweight and obesity were independent risk fac-tors of pre-frailty (P<0.05), and obesity was the independent risk factor of frailty (P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher in community aged people in Zhengzhou, and normal BMI was important to postpone the process of frailty.
