Although autoallergic neural transplantation Is a gold standard to repair neurologic defect, nerve tissue engineering becomes an ideal replacement due to a limited collection of nerve. Nerve tissue-engineering release-controlled system promotes axonal regeneration via a scaffold to slowly release nerve growth factor and to create a suitable microenvironment for nerve growth. There are various materials and methods for creating nerve tissue-engineering release-controlled system; therefore, choosing a good material and a good method to control nerve growth factor and to cause excellent repairing effect are hot topics for researching nerve tissue-engineering release-controlled system. The aim of this review is to introduce the new methods and technologies applied in the delivery system of nerve growth factors in recent years. This review also attempts to classify the strategies of drug delivery of nerve growth factor in a new way.

Objective To investigate the factors relevant to the vascular calcification in uiemic patients.Methods Eighty-five uiemic patients were enrolled in this study.The levels of fetuin-A,serum calcium,serum phosphorus,C-reactive protein and other parameters related to calcification were examined.B-ultrasound was used to detect carotid plaques.Results The Fetuin-A levels in patients with vascular calcification were significantly lower than those with non-vascular calcification[(2.34±0.95) μg/L vs (3.79±1.19) μg/L,t=5.94,P＜0.01],but serum calcium,serum phosphorus and C-reactive protein were higher than those non-vascular calcification [serum phosphorus (1.97±0.23) mmol/L vs (1.80±0.33) mmol/L,t=2.05,P＜0.05;calcium and phosphorus product (50.04±6.61) mg~2/dl~2 vs (44.84±9.75) mg~2/dl~2,t=2.05,P＜0.05;C-reactive protein (33.45±25.11)mmol/L vs (20.65±13.43) mmol/L,t=2.03,P＜0.05].Linear correlation analysis indicated that low fetuin-A level was correlated with C-reactive protein (r=-0.43,P＜0.01),calcium-phosphorus product (r=-0.32,P＜0.01),serum albumin concentration (r=0.37,P＜0.05) and phosphorus level (r=-0.36,P＜0.05).Conclusions The risk factors relevant to the vascular calcification are high serum phosphorus,calcium and phosphorus product and the micro-inflammatory status in uiemic patients.Vascular calcification is also correlated with low fetuinA level,adding exogenous Fetuin-A may become an effective means in preventing vascular calcification.

This article compared the difference of research methods and topics of the direction between our country and foreign countries were compared, analyzed the basic principles of rehabilitation medicine and influencing factors about the topics, and the future trends in rehabilitation research.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of implementing the 24 hours treatment and management model of children with cerebral palsy in Shanghai,in order to provide a set of effective and saving manpower,material and financial rehabilitation and management model for children with cerebral palsy.Methods Firstly,the 10 exports engaged in cerebral palsy rehabilitation were selected as the in depth interviewees by the sampling method of grounded theory.Secondly,applying in depth interviews,the 10 exports were interviewed by designing interview outline and subjects.Last,the interview data were collected and analyzed.Results By analyzing the interview data in three-stage coding mode,three factors affecting the feasibility of 24 hours treatment and management model of children with cerebral palsy in Shanghai were obtained,including the favorable factors,obstacles and necessary factors.Conclusions The 24-hour treatment and management model of children with cerebral palsy in Shanghai is feasible,but it will encounter some obstacles in the implementation process.Through the policy support for health care and education sectors,the feasibility of the pattern will be greatly enhanced.

Objective Through the study of medical services cost accounting , we want to find the laws and provide a theoretical basis for government departments to develop standards of medical service prices and control health care costs . Methods On the basis of department cost accounting, we use financial accounting software, to provide medical service items for collection and sharing in accordance with the project income ratio , workload standards.Results Dialysis the three costs dominate factors, the proportion of disposable materials (60.03%)is the key factor affecting the cost.Conclusion Hygiene material spending accounted for a larger proportion of total expenditure , in order to effectively control the medical expense in dialysis patients, efforts should be made to reduce the cost of hemodialysis consumables.

ObjectiveTo summarize the experience of right mini-thoracotomy in the treatment of congenital cardiac defects.MethodsA total o f 1258 patients with congenital cardiac defects received right thoracotomy approach correction u nder cardiopulmonary bypass between October 1994 and March 2003. The cardiac def ects included 293 cases of atrial septal defect, 604 cases of ventricular septal defect, 98 cases of atrial septal defects associated with ventricular septal de fects, 177 cases of Fallot's Tetralogy, 29 cases of partial endocardial cushion defects, and 57 cases of other defects. Complicating anomalies were as follows: patent ductus arteriosus, left superior vena cava, mitral insufficiency, anomalo us pulmonary venous connection, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, etc .ResultsAmong the 9 fatal cases (0.7%) in the study, 5 succu mbed to low card iac output, 2 to severe pulmonary infection, 1 to perfusive lung injury, and 1 t o pulmonary hypertension crisis. Postoperative complications occurred in 36 case s (2 9%). The cardiopulmonary bypass time was (60 3?32 1) min (range, 15 min ～359 min), the aortic crossclamping time was (37 7?24 6) min (range, 3 min～ 205 min ), the duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation was (19 7?34 4) hours ( range, 1 5 hours～401 hours), and the postoperative hospital stay was (8 0?12 1) days (range, 5 days～300 days).ConclusionsRight mini-thorac otomy is minimall y invasive, without impairing the integrity of the bony thorax. It gives excelle nt cosmetic results and prevents patients from postoperative pigeon chest.

Scaffold is one of the key elements required for tissue engineering. Porous scaffolds have several special advantages for muscle tissue engineering, and they are beneficial to cell survival, myogenic differentiation, and vascular ingrowth. The performance of porous scaffolds is closely related to the property of the biomaterials used. Additionally, the pore size and porosity may affect cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. This review focuses on the application of porous scaffolds in muscle tissue engineering, including their categories, application, and advantages.

Method The formula was optimized by orthogonal experiment and the content of pingyangmycin in wax stick was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results The formula of pingyangmycin wax stick matrix was optimized as 1 g of alcohol ethoxylate and 1 g of S 40. Pingyangmycin was added when the temperature of the matrix raised to 70℃and stirred for 20 min. The linear range of pingyangmycin determined by HPLC was 34.4~172μg/mL,the regression equations was y=8298.9 x-34996(r=0.9999),and the average recovery of pingyangmycin was 102.67%(n=9). Conclusion The Preparing procedure of pingyangmycin water-soluble wax sticks is simple and stable. The HPLC method for determining the content of pingyangmycin in water-soluble wax sticks is simple, fast and accurate.
