Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;30(12):1363-1366
Objective:To repair knee joint defects in rabbits with rat adipose-derived stem cells induced by cartilage-derived morphogenetic protein growth factor 1 (CDMP1) ,so as to assess the feasibility of using heterogeneity cells as the seed cells for cartilage tissue engineering. Methods: The second generation ADSCs were seeded on scaffold, cultured for another two weeks in presence of CDMP1(50 μg/L),and identified by immunohistochemistory method. Bilateral rabbit knee joint defect model was established. The left side defect was embedded with ADSCs-scaffold composite (experimental group); the right side was embedded only with the scaffold(control group). Nine rabbits were killed in each group 8,16,24, and 48 weeks after embedding and the tissues were made into slices for safranine O and haematoxylin eosin staining. Results: In the experimental group the defects were filled with white semi-transparent tissues 8 weeks after embedding, with clear boundary to the surrounding cartilage; 16 weeks after embedding, the boundary of defect was further improved but still could be seen; 24 weeks after embedding, the repair outcomes were satisfactory, with the newly-generated chondrocytes having a nearly normal morphology (sphere shape,cartilage lacuna),and safranine O and haematoxylin eosin staining results were both positive; and 48 weeks after embedding, the boundary of the repair region could be clearly seen,and the repair effects were not as satisfactory as those of after 24 weeks. In the control group the boundary between the repairing area and the normal circumjacent area was visible at all 4 time points,with clear boundary and granulation tissues; the newly generated cells took a spindle shape and were negative for H-E and safranine O staining. Conclusion: The knee joint defects of rabbits can be satisfactorily repaired by using CDMP1-induced ADSCs seeded on spongy bone scaffold of cattle, which provides a theoretical basis for using heterogeneity cells as the seed cells for cartilage tissue engineering.

Existing reporting guidelines for systematic reviews/Meta-analysis (SRs/MAs) cannot meet the requirements of clinical practice and scientific research, so based on evidence, methods and thoughts on establishing reporting guidelines for TCM-featured acupuncture systematic reviews/Meta-analysis were proposed. Through literature analysis, according to evidence-based principle, preliminary ideas on methodology of establishing reporting guidelines for TCM-featured acupuncture systematic reviews /Meta-analysis were proposed. With consensus as one main research method, it was proposed that in the consensus that was selected and established by experts, the pro- portion of Chinese scholars should be increased to fully declare the opinions of Chinese acupuncturists, and by verification of practice and application, the reporting guidelines for TCM-featured acupuncture systematic reviews/Meta-analysis can be finally made.

To explore the molecular mechanism of human papillomavirus subtype 16(HPV-16)E7 oncogene-induced DNA re-replication in response to DNA damage. Flow cytometry was performed to examine the cell cycle changes in RPE1 E7 cells stably expressing HPV-16 E7 and its control cell RPE1 Vector after DNA damage.Immunoblotting assay was used to evaluate the early mitotic inhibitor 1(Emi1)expression in RPE1 E7 and RPE1 Vector cells with or without DNA damage.The changes of the proportion of polyploidy was detected by flow cytometry in DNA-damaged RPE1 E7 cells interfered by Emi1 small interfering RNA. Compared with the control cells,the proportion of polyploids in RPE1 E7 cells was significantly increased in response to DNA damage(=6.397,=0.0031).Emi1 protein expression was significantly increased in DNA damaged RPE1 E7 cells(=8.241,=0.0012).The polyploid ratio of RPE1 E7 cells was significantly reduced after Emi1 was interfered by two independent small interfering RNAs(=2.916,=0.0434;=3.452,=0.0260). In response to DNA damage,Emi1 promoted DNA re-replication caused by HPV-16 E7.

Based on the demand of nasal drug delivery high drug loadings, using the unique phase transfer of solute, integrating the phospholipid complex preparation and submicron emulsion molding process of Scutellariae Radix extract, the study obtained the preparation of the high drug loadings submicron emulsion of Scutellariae Radix extract. In the study of drug solution dispersion method, the uniformity of drug dispersed as the evaluation index, the traditional mixing method, grinding, homogenate and solute phase transfer technology were investigated, and the solute phase transfer technology was adopted in the last. With the adoption of new technology, the drug loading capacity reached 1.33% (phospholipid complex was 4%). The drug loading capacity was improved significantly. The transfer of solute method and timing were studied as follows,join the oil phase when the volume of phospholipid complex anhydrous ethanol solution remaining 30%, the solute phase transfer was completed with the continued recycling of anhydrous ethanol. After drug dissolved away to oil phase, the preparation technology of colostrum was determined with the evaluation index of emulsion droplet form. The particle size of submicron emulsion, PDI and stability parameters were used as evaluation index, orthogonal methodology were adopted to optimize the submicron emulsion ingredient and main influential factors of high pressure homogenization technology. The optimized preparation technology of Scutellariae Radix extract nasal submicron emulsion is practical and stable.

Objective To determine the agreement of interobserver and intraobserver in diagnosing early glaucoma by optic disc morphology,and to explore the efficacy of established methods for evaluating glaucomatous optic discs.Design Prospective study. Participants Clinicians and evaluating methods for glaucomatous optic discs.Methods 120 digital fundus photographs were enrolled including early glaucoma eyes(67 cases)and non-glaucoma eyes but with glaucomatous appearance(53 cases),which were collected in Tongren Hospital.Thirteen ophthalmologists as observers were divided into three groups:GroupⅠ(5 clinicians)were trained with stan- dardized methods for evaluating glaucomatous optic disc damage recently.GroupⅡ(4 clinicians)were ophthalmologists majoring in glaucoma.GroupⅢwere ophthalmologists not specializing in glaucoma.In general groupⅡandⅢ,none had been trained with the es- tablished criteria.Observers evaluated the photos 3 times,with an interval time of 3 days.Kappa statistics were used to evaluate agree- ment between the intraobserver and interobserver.Main Outcome Measures Interobserver and intraobserver agreement,kappa value. Results In GroupⅠ,4 clinicians were in almost perfect agreement,1 clinician was in substantial agreement,kappa value ranging from 0.779(90.0%)to 0.966(98.3%).In GroupⅡ,almost perfect agreement occurred in 2 clinicians,substantial in 1 clinician and moderate in 1 clinician,kappa value ranging from 0.506(82.5%)to 0.866(93.3%).In GroupⅢ,the agreements in 4 clinicians were substantial, moderate,fair,and slight,respectively,kappa value ranging from 0.094(54.2%)to 0.778(89.2%).In term of interobserver agreement for glaucoma diagnosis,kappa values in GroupⅠranged from 0.768 to 0.983,in GroupⅡ0.354-0.834,in GroupⅢ0.335-0.737,respec- tively.Conclusions Intraobserver and interobserver agreement rates in early glaucoma diagnosis are substantially improved through training on optic disc morphologic evaluation methods.Establishing the diagnosis criteria for glaucomatous optic disc damage can raise the correct rate of diagnosis.

Objective To identify histopathologic correlates for the various MRI appearances of breast fibroadenomas.Methods Thirty-eight fibroadenomas in 33 patients(aged 24—57 years)examined with gadolonium-enhanced MR imaging were observed for signal intensity on T_2-weighted images,contrast enhancement,shape,and internal septation,and these findings were correlated with histopathologic findings.All cases underwent surgery and were proved by pathology.Results(1)The lesion shape was lobular,or round in 34 of 38 fibroadenomas(89.5%).(2)The signal intensity on T_1-weighted images was less than or equal to that of fibroglandular tissue in all cases.The signal intensity on T_2-weighted images was highly varible:high T_2 signal intensity was associated with more myxomatous stromal(mean myxoid-sclerotic index value of 1.9),higher stromal cellularity(mean stromal cellularity index value of 2.2); Fibroadenomas with low T_2 signal intensity had stromal that was nearly uniformly sclerotic(mean myxoid- sclerotic index values of 2.8)and low stromal cellularity(mean stromal-cellularity index value of 1.2). Significant differences were found between these two groups,x~2=11.267 and x~2=10.415(P0.05).The degree of contrast enhancement was proved to be related to ages of patients.The enhancement was more intensely in younger patients.(5)Internal septations were identified within nine of 33 enhancing fibroadenomas (27.3%)and appeared to correlated with collagenous bands at histopatholigic analysis.Conclusions Fibroadenomas demonstrate marked histopathologic variability.The resultant variability in the MR appearance correlated with the degree of myxomatous or sclerotic and stromal cellularity.Lobulation and internal septation,which appear to reflect intrinsic growth patterns of fibroadenomas,may provide more reliable information for distinction.Familiarity with the diagnostic features would facilitate to make the differential diagnosis correctly.
