Objective:To investigate whether chitosan-polyelectrolyte complex (CS-PEC) can be used as scaffold for chondrocyte culture and for cartilage regeneration in vivo.Methods:Condylar chondrocytes of fetal mouse were seeded onto the three-dimension gel scaffolds of CS-PEC and cultured.The cultured chondrocytes/CS-PEC complex samples were transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice and the CS-PEC scaffold without chondrocyte was used as the control.The animals were sacrificed 4 and 8 weeks after operation respectively.Cartilage formulation was observed by histological and immunohistochemical methods.Results:In the in vitro culture the majority of cells attached to the CS-PEC surface and expanded rapidly. 4 weeks after transplantation,in the chondrocytes/CS-PEC complex the scaffold maintained mostly the original structure. Hypertrophic chondrocytes appeared in scaffold materials. CollagenⅡwas positive in the new cartilage. 8 weeks after transplantation the scaffold degraded almost completely and new cartilage could be observed. CollagenⅡ and cartilage matrix was positive in the new cartilage and the collagen I was positive in the surrounding fibroblast-like cells. In control transplants,8 week after transplantation some fibre-like tissue formed in the circumference, but there was no new cartilage formation and the collagen II and the cartilage matrix was negative.Conclusions:CS-PEC may be used as scaffold for fibre-cartilage regeneration.

This experimental study was designed to explore the possible mechanisms of Cariporide, a kind of Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitor, for protecting the lung from warm ischemia/reperfusion injury (WI/RI) of isolated rat lung model. Thirty isolated rat lungs were established on the Langendorff apparatus and randomly divided to three groups (n = 10, each): control group (C group), ischemia/reperfusion group (IR group) and Cariporide group (CP group). Mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) and peak airway pressure (pAwP) were monitored continuously. At the end of reperfusion, right bronchoalveolar lavage was performed, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) recovery rate (BALFRR) was recorded, and protein content in BALF was measured. Lung water content (LWC), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)of left lung tissue were measured; histomorphology evaluation was performed under light microscope and transmission electron microscope. In comparison with the data from IR group, BALF protein concentration, LWC, MDA content and MPAP content of reperfusion were significantly decreased, but SOD activity was increased in CP group. Histomorphologic feature also showed that pathological change significantly reduced in CP group. In this rat WI/RI model, the mechanism by which the selective Na+/H+ exchanger inhibitor (Cariporide) attenuates lipid peroxidation induced by WI/IR may be: preventing Ca2+ overload via inhibiting the transport of Na+/H2 exchanger-1 (NHE1) in the context of the coupled exchanger, thereby reducing the activation of xanthine oxidase pathway and oxygen free radical liberation which is dependent on certain intracellular Ca2+ concentration, and lastly promoting the endogenous antioxidative mechanism.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain.
METHODSThe patients with TMJ pain were randomly assigned laser group (n=21) or control group(n=21), once a day for 6 consecutive days of treatment. TMJ pain and function were measured at baseline, just after treatment course, 1 month and 2 months after the treatment.
RESULTSThe changes of visual analogue scale (VAS) were appearing over time in both groups but presented statistically significant differences between groups (P<0.001). VAS of laser group decreased faster than that of control group. The same tendency occurred for painless maximum vertical opening (MVO), left lateral excursion (LLE) and right lateral excursion (RLE), which increased faster in laser group. There were no statistically significant differences between groups and evaluation times for protrusion excursion (PE), but an interaction between group and evaluation times existed and should be explored further.
CONCLUSIONLLLT is an appropriate treatment for TMJ pain.
