Tissue engineering can regenerate damaged tissues and restore the biological functions by cell or tissue reconstruction,and is becoming a promising method for trachea replacement.Seed cells,cell growth factors and tracheal scaffolds are the three major elements of tissue engineering trachea,as a result researchers have paid a lot of attention to find ideal seed cells.Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a kind of stem cells with high self-renewal ability and muhi-directional differentiation potential.MSCs are widely distributed in bone marrow,umbilical cord,adipose tissue,myocardial tissue,brain,muscle and skin,and can differentiate into a variety of cells,including osteocytes,chondrocytes,adipocytes and neurocytes.MSCs have the characteristics of high proliferation ability,wide differentiation range and immunomodulatory function,which can be used to repair damaged tissue.These advantages make the MSCs an ideal candidate of seed cells for tissue engineering trachea.This review mainly summarized the application of MSCs in tissue engineering trachea.

Objective To prepare 3D printed tracheal graft and investigate its cellular biocompatibility and biomechanical properties.Methods Bone marrow was isolated from tibial plateau of young New Zealand white rabbit,and bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were obtained by whole bone marrow culture method and adherent purification method.Biomechanical test was performed for 3D printed trachea graft.After co-cultured of 3D printed trachea graft and BMSCs,cell morphology was observed and the proliferation index of the cells on 3D printed trachea graft was quantified using sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay.Results 3D printed trachea graft showed excellent biomechanical properties.Cell morphology was normal and cells grew well after co-culture with 3D printed trachea graft.The SRB assay indicated good proliferation of BMSCs on 3D printed trachea graft.Conclusions 3D printed trachea graft shows favorable cellular biocompatibility and biomechanical properties,and therefore can be used as a scaffold material for tissue-engineered trachea.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes between pedicle screw internal fixation via the Wiltse approach and conservative treatment in young patients with thoracolumbar fracture with Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity score (TLICS) ≤ 4 points.Methods:This retrospective study included 219 young patients with thoracolumbar fracture with TLICS score ≤ 4 points who had been treated from January 2014 to December 2018 at Department of Orthopaedics, The Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University and obtained full follow-up. They were assigned into a surgery group of 126 patients subjected to pedicle screw internal fixation via the Wiltse approach and a conservative group of 93 patients subjected to conservative treatment. The surgery group included 65 males and 61 females, aged from 18 to 37 years, with a TLICS score of 1 point in 38 cases and of 2 to 4 points in 88 ones; the conservative group included 48 males and 45 females, aged from 19 to 38 years, with a TLICS score of 1 point in 29 cases and of 2 to 4 points in 64 ones. Patients in both groups underwent thoracolumbar X-ray, CT and MRI before treatment and regular thoracolumbar X-ray reexamination after treatment. Improvements in visual analog scale (VAS) for low back pain were compared between pre- and post-treatment. The 2 groups were compared in terms of VAS, anterior height of the injured vertebra and kyphosis cobb angle between pre-treatment, one month post-treatment and the last follow-up.Results:The 2 groups were comparable due to insignificant differences between them in the pre-treatment general data ( P>0.05). In the surgery group, patients were followed up for 24 to 72 months, the average VAS scores at one month post-treatment (2.5±1.2) and the last follow-up (2.3±0.8) were significantly improved compared to the pre-treatment value (6.8±2.1) ( P<0.05), and no serious surgical complications occurred. In the conservative group, patients were followed up for 30 to 65 months, the average VAS scores at one month post-treatment (3.9±1.9) and the last follow-up (3.5±0.9) were significantly improved compared to the pre-treatment value (6.2±2.0) ( P<0.05), and the rate of complications was 11.8% (11/93, including 3 cases of neural symptoms of the lower limb, 4 cases of bedsore and 4 cases of pulmonary infection). The VAS, anterior height of the injured vertebra and kyphosis cobb angle at one month post-treatment and the last follow-up in the surgery group were all significantly better than in the conservative group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In young patients with thoracolumbar fracture with TLICS ≤ 4 points, pedicle screw internal fixation via the Wiltse approach can lead to better therapeutic outcomes than conservative treatment, especially in relief of postoperative low back pain.
