3.Large vascularized tissue-engineered bone for repair of bone defects
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(7):991-996
BACKGROUND:Currently, there are many problems existing in the construction of large tissue-engineered bone, and the most important is ischemic necrosis. Vascularization is critical for the biological function of large tissue-engineered bone.
OBJECTIVE:To prepare large pieces of vascularized tissue-engineered bone for orthotopic transplantation in repairing large femoral defects of rabbits, and to explore tissue regeneration methods and characteristics.
METHODS:Rabbit femoral structure was firstly imitated to construct a vascularized prefabricated model, based on which, we constructed large pieces of vascularized tissue-engineered bone. A total of 18 New Zealand white rabbit 18, aged 8 weeks, were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group was subject to orthotopic transplantation of large vascularized tissue-engineered bone, while the control group was treated with orthotopic transplantation of large tissue-engineered bone without vascularization processing. After 2, 4, 8 weeks, gross observation, X-ray films, and tissue section were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Gross observation and imaging observation showed that the osteogenesis in the experimental group at 2, 4, 8 weeks were better than that in the control group. The ratio of new bone tissue to total area of bone graft was significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group at 2, 4, 8 weeks postoperatively (P<0.01). These findings indicate that large vascularized tissue-engineered bone is preferred to the repair of large bone defects.

5.Determination of Trace Cadmium in Water by Anodic-Stripping Voltammetry Using Dithizone-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode
Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(04):-
Objective To establish an anodic-stripping voltammetry method for determination of trace cadmium in water using dithizone-modified glassy carbon electrode. Methods Cd2+ was preconcentrated on the surface of the dithizone-modified glassy carbon electrode at -1.21 V, and subsequently reduced to Cd on the electrode. When the electric potential of electrode increased from -1.21 V to -0.30 V, the reduced cadmium was oxidized and stripped from surface of electrode, and the sensitive anodic-stripping peak was observed at -0.79 V. The parameters including the selection of supporting electrolytes, pH value, the amount of dithizone, concentration electric potential and time were optimized. Results The most suitable reaction medium was 0.1 mol/L NaAc-Hac-KI solution at pH value of 3.00.The most suitable volume of 1g/L methenyl chloride-dithizone solution was 10 ?l. The optimized concentration electric potential and time were -1.21 V and 5 min respectively. The linear range of this method was 5?10-8-2?10-6 mol/L. The average recovery rate was 98.42%. The relative standard deviation was 2.90%(n=8). The detection limit was 6?10-9 mol/L. Conclusion The method was simple ,rapid and sensitive,which was suitable for the determination of trace cadmium in practical water sample.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2005;9(5):232-234
BACKGROUND: Traumatic brain injury generates a cascade of arachidonic acid metabolic events that mainly presented by the increment of prostaglandin and oxygen free radicals. Indomethacin can potently inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenase, decrease the synthesis of prostaglandins, and may decrease the production of oxygen free radical, and thus may attenuate the pathological changes of brain injury.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of prostaglandin in early brain injury and after indomethacin intervention, so as to explore the pharmacological mechanism of indomethacin.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial based on experimental animals.SETTING: Department of neurosurgery and department of cerebral surgery in a university hospital.MATERIALS: This study was carried out at the Laboratory of Neurosurgery Department, Medical College of Southeast University between March and September 2000. Thirty-six hybrid cats were randomly divided into normal control group, brain injury group and indometbacin intervention group, with 12 cats in each group.INTERVENTIONS: Brain injury was simulated according to previously reported grading mechanical traumatic animal model establishment; cats with medium brain injury were enrolled in this study. The ultimate concentrations of prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane A (TXA2) to 6-keto-prostaglandin F 1 alpha(6-keto-PGF1α) and thromboxane B2(TXB2) in brain vein blood, as well as total brain superoxide dismutase(SOD) and cerebral water content were measured 6 hours after trauma.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: 6-keto-PGF1α, TXB2, SOD, and cerebral water content.RESULTS: Both 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 in brain vein blood remarkably increased in early brain injury[from(0.057±0.010) g/L to (0.264±0. 126) g/L, from(0. 060 ±0. 012) g/L to(0. 134 ±0. 048) g/L respectively], with the increment of the former higher than the latter, the ratio of TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α decreased from 1. 052 ±0. 145 to 0. 545 ±0. 184, and cerebral water content increased from(77.39 ± 0. 36)% to (78.06±0.41)% ; meanwhile, total brain SOD significantly decreased from (94. 869 ± 5. 418) μkat/g to(54. 368 ± 3. 417) μ kat/g( P < 0.01) . In contrast to brain injury group, the concentrations of 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 in indomethacin intervention group significantly decreased, which were similar to those of control group, but the total SOD significantly increased from (54. 368 ±3. 417) pkat/g to (81. 433 ±7. 268) μkat/g (P <0. 01), and water content lightly decreased without statistical significance( P > 0. 1 ).CONCLUSION: PGI2 and TXA2 increase in early brain injury in experimental cat model, accompanied by free radical synthesis, resulting in the exacerbation of brain injury. Indomethacin may be helpful to relieve posttraumatic secondary brain injury by regulating the imbalance of PGT2 / TXA2 and decreasing the production of free radical.
