BACKGROUND:Compared with traditional hydrogels, intel igent hydrogels can appear to exhibit different responses to different stimuli such as temperature, pH value, light, and magnetic field, produce two-stage structure and alter chemical structure to generate the ordered supramolecular structure by self-assembling, and ultimately cause the formation of the gel with three-dimensional structure.
OBJECTIVE:To review the research status of intel igent hydrogels and its application in tissue engineering.
METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed to retrieve articles addressing intel igent hydrogels in tissue engineering published before 2014. The keywords were“hydrogel, tissue engineering”in Chinese and English.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intel igent hydrogels are classified into temperature sensitivity, pH sensitivity, photosensitivity, magnetic susceptibility and temperature/pH dual responsive hydrogels. The change of the external environment can be automatical y detected and responded. Intel igent hydrogels exhibit a series of outstanding performances in drug delivery systems, drug delivery, repair and improvement of defected tissues, which are not possessed by traditional materials. In particular, the intel igent hydrogels show considerable superiorities in tissue engineering, including low immunogenicity that reducing inflammation and rejection, biodegradability, realizing the three-dimensional scale simulation of cel microenvironment that is conducive to cel adhesion, growth, migration and differentiation.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae car-bapenemase(KPC)-producing Escherichia coli(E. coli)strains isolated in Hangzhou,China. Methods A total of 25 KPC-producing Escherichia coli strains were collected from four hospitals in Hangzhou from July 2012 to January 2014. Antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates to 22 common antimicrobial agents was deter-mined by using Kirby-Bauer(K-B)disk diffusion method. PCR analysis and gene sequencing were used for bla KPC gene screening. The modified Hodge test was performed to detect the production of carbapenemase. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE)and multi-locus sequence typing(MLST)were used for homology analysis. Results All of the 25 clinical isolates were confirmed to be KPC-producing E. coli strains,harbo-ring the blaKPC-2 gene. These KPC-producing isolates showed high drug resistance rates and were resistant to almost all β-lactam antibiotics. PFGE typing classified the 25 isolates into three main homologous clone groups,including clone group A(4 isolates),clone group B(5 isolates)and clone group C(2 isolates), and some single clones(14 isolates). MLST typing classified the isolates into eight ST types,including ST131(14 isolates),ST167(3 isolates),ST2003(3 isolates),ST410(1 isolate),ST457(1 isolate), ST1463(1 isolate),STnew1(1 isolate)and STnew2(1 isolate). The typing results of PFGE and MLST were consistent with each other. Conclusion The prevalent KPC-producing E. coli strains in Hangzhou, China were ST131 type,which were resistant to multiple antibiotics and had been detected in several hospi-tals. The epidemic of KPC-producing E. coli strain often occurred at some special wards,such as Intensive Care Unit(ICU)and emergency ICU.

Objective To extract,isolate and identify the polysaccharide from ginseng,and to investigate its anti-tumor activity in vitro. Methods The ginseng polysaccharide was obtained through water extraction and ethyl alcohol deposition method. Use the Sevage method to remove the protein in the crude polysaccharide. The structural characteristics of the polysaccharide were determined by FT-IR spectra.The RM-1 and HeLa cells were divided into control group and different concentrations (0,50,100,200,300,400 and 500 mg·L-1 )of ginseng polysaccharide groups. The survival rates of the cells in various groups were detected by MTT method. The indirect killing effects of ginseng polysaccharide with different concentrations (0,50,100,200,300,400 and 500 mg·L-1 )on the cancer cells were determined by CTL test. Results The extraction rate of ginseng polysaccharide was 8.7 6% and the structural characteristics demonstrated that the main component of the extract was polysaccharide.The result of MTT showed that there were no significant differences of the survival rates of RM-1 and HeLa cells between different concentrations of ginseng polysaccharide groups after treated for 24 h compared with control group (P>0.05).The result of CTL test showed that the cytototic LHD release rates in different concentrations of ginseng polysaccharide groups were increased significantly (P<0.05)compared with control group;with the increase of ginseng polysaccharide concentration, the cytotoxic LDH release rates were increased firstly and then were decreased.When the concentration of ginseng polysaccharide was 100 mg·L-1 ,the cytotoxic LDH release rate was the biggest.Conclusion Ginseng polysaccharide can indirectly inhibit the growth of the tumor cells by activating T cells and play an anti-tumor effect.
