Objective Three-dimension (3D) cell matrix adhesion in vivo is fundamentally important for a wide variety of cellular physiological and pathological phenomena, however, the cell-matrix 3D adhesion is hardly observed in vitro. We present the human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) formed 3D adhesion complexes on the thoroughly acellular human amniotic matrix (TAHAM). Methods TAHAM were produced by suspending digestion with trypsin. The HFF were seeded on 6 well plate, matrigel and TAHAM individually.The light microscope, scanning electronic microscope, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to observe the micro-structures and detect the type Ⅰ , Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅵ collagen, laminin, fibronectin, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, FGF of the TAHAM. Phase contrast microscope was engaged to observe the morphology of HFF. The time-lapse CCD and the trace analysis software were employed to prescribe the cell migration. The 3D adhesion foci were identified by the laser confocal microscope. The strain of the TAHAM was tested by the universal mechanical testing instrument. Results The fibers of the TAHAM were intact, type Ⅰ , Ⅲ,Ⅳ, Ⅵ collagen, laminin, fibronectin were positive, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, FGF were negative. HFF had a bipolar extension to form multilayer cell clusters networks and grew into the matrix. All of the seeded cells survived three weeks under regular culture without transfer. On TAHAM, HFF moved in a straight line with a speed of 12 μm/h. α5 integrin (green), paxillin (red) and fibronectin (blue) co localized to form 3D adhesion complexes (white). Conclusion The main molecular components and biomechanical properties is preserved in TAHAM. HFF forms 3D adhesion complexes on TAHAM. Cell morphology and migration of HFF on TAHAM correspond to that under 3D adhesion behavior.

Objective To evaluate the surgical strategy of decompression via posterior-anterior approach and anterior fixation in treatment fracture-dislocation of the lower cervical spine with bilateral facet joints dislocation. Methods This study retrospectively reviewed 37 cases of lower cervical spine fracture with bilateral joints dislocation. There were 21 males and 16 females with an average age of 42 years (19-58). Distraction-flexion stage 3(DFS 3) were found in 24 cases and DFS 4 in 13 cases. All the cases were diagnosed by X-ray, CT and MRI and confirmed during the surgery. Decompression via posterior-anterior approach and anterior fixation had been adapted as the surgical strategy. The NASCIS and IMSOP standard were applied to definite the level of cervical spinal cord injury. The ASIA grading was used for evaluation the spinal cord function and the recovery rate. The X-ray and CT were used to observe reduction and bone fusion. Results The mean operative time was (4.5:±0.5) h, and the mean amount of blood loss was 360 ml (200-500 ml). All the incision healed. The two segments fixation was used in 23 cases, 3 segments fixation in 13 cases, and 4 segments fixation in 1 case. The mean follow-up period was 32 months (16-45 months).Postoperative X-ray and CT showed that bone fusion was achieved in all patients within 4-8 months, without graft displacement, or failure of implants. Spinal cord function did not aggravate, and sensory recovery ranged from 7 to 20 levels (averaged, 12.7). The ASIA grade were improved with an average of one grade. Conclusion To treat fracture-dislocation of the lower cervical spine with bilateral facet joints dislocation, the posterlor-anterior approach and anterior fixation/fusion was benefit to preservation the cervical spinal cord function and reconstruction biomechanical stability of the cervical spine.

Objective To investigate the effect of acidic tumor microenvironment on invasion and migration and its mechanism in glioma cells. Methods (1) The pH value of the medium was adjusted by acid-base titration. Human glioma cells U87 and U251 were cultured in the acid group and the normal group with pH values of 6.4 and 7.4, respectively; and 3 d after cultivation, the expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) and CD44 were detected by Western blotting; Transwell assay was used to examine the invasion and migration of U87 and U251 cells; immunofluorescence was employed to examine the CD44 expression.

Next generation sequencing (NGS) has developed very rapidly in the last decade. Compared with Sanger sequencing, NGS has the advantages of high sensitivity and high throughput. Movement disorders are a common type of neurological disease. Although traditional linkage analysis has become a standard method to identify the pathogenic genes in diseases, it is getting difficult to find new pathogenic genes in rare Mendelian disorders, such as movement disorders, due to a lack of appropriate families with high penetrance or enough affected individuals. Thus, NGS is an ideal approach to identify the causal alleles for inherited disorders. NGS is used to identify genes in several diseases and new mutant sites in Mendelian movement disorders. This article reviewed the recent progress in NGS and the use of NGS in Mendelian movement disorders from genome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing. A perspective on how NGS could be employed in rare Mendelian disorders is also provided.
