Seed cell, biomaterials, constructing of tissue are three essential elements of tissue engineering. The core is the technology of tissue constructing. Bioreactor for tissue engineering is a sort of systematic equipment constructing ttissues in vitro. Cardiac tissue engineering may hold great potentials for not only replacing or supporting an infarcted cardiac tissue but also treating and saving the lives of patients with heart diseases. This paper mainly introduced the progress of domestic and international technology for constructing engineered cardiac tissue in vitro, especially in the research of bioreactors used for engineered cardiac tissue construction.

Objective To evaluate the morphological and signal intensity changes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction , and to analyze the correlations between MRI evaluation and clinical examination .Methods Totally 34 patients who underwent anterior cruciate liga-ment reconstruction in our hospital from July 2013 to June 2015 were given MRI examination .The morphology ,orientation and signal intensity of the anterior cruciate ligament grafts were evaluated on axial ,sagittal and coronal images .The grafts were assessed with Rak method ,and the clinical assessment was adopted with physical assessment method ,including drawer test ,axial shift test and Lachman test .The correlations be-tween MRI evaluation and clinical examination results were further analyzed by SPSS 16.0.Results After anterior cruciate ligament recon-struction,79%of the graft were visualized as a smoothly continuous low signal (well-defined type),15%of the graft showed increased signal intensity with only a small part of low signal bands ( intermediate type ) ,and 6% of the grafts showed remarkably increased signal intensity (indiscernible type).A statistically significant correlation was identified in MRI evaluation and clinical examination results (P<0.05). Spearman’ s correlation coefficient was 0.747 2 which indicating significantly positive correlation .Conclusion Magnetic resonance imaging is a noninvasive high-resolution imaging technology and it is an effective tool for evaluating anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction .

Objective To prepare the small intestinal submucosa (SIS) to be used as a scaffold in constructing engineered cardiac tissue. Methods Small intestinal submucosa of pig was treated with 0.25% trypsin and then 0.5% SDS for 24 hours each to obtain decellularized SIS. The obtained SIS was tested for its mechanical strength by stretching both horizontally and longitudinally with a material test machine. The cytotoxicity and histocompatibility of the material was also examined. Then the cardiomyocytes harvested from 3-day old neonatal rats were seeded on the SIS to construct engineered cardiac tissue sheets. These acquired engineered cardiac tissue sheets were immunohistochemically stained and observed with inversion microscope and transmission electromicroscope to evaluate their characteristics. Results SIS was decellularized completely. The mechanical capability of the decellularized SIS was satisfactory. Under 15% stretching, its strain and stress was nearly linear. SIS showed no cytotoxicity and inflammatory response. After 12 hours, the cardiomyocytes seeded in the SIS scaffold began to beat spontaneously. Two days later, the cardiomyocytes-SIS scaffold composite (engineered cardiac tissue sheet) began to beat spontaneously, and could beat spontaneously for 14 days. The constructed engineered cardiac tissue sheets consisted of layers of cardiomyocytes and with abundant extracellular collagen in the sheet. Conclusions SIS with good mechanical capability and biocompatibility has been prepared successfully, and then the engineered cardiac tissue has been constructed successfully based on the SIS scaffold.

Objective To observe the repairing effects of myoblasts from mesenchymal stem cells induced by MyoD transfection on muscle injury, and to explore its mechanism. Methods One hundred and sixty male SCID mice were randomly assigned into 4 groups [normal group, control group with injury, implantation with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) group, and implantation with myoblasts group]. MSCs were transfected by pIRES2-EGFP-MyoD and differentiated into myoblasts. Myoblasts and MSCs were injected respectively into the muscular tissue injuried by cardiotoxin. The repairing effect in injuried muscles, which were injected with myoblasts and MSCs, was observed 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks after the injection. Results The muscular tissue injury model was successfully reproduced. Both MSCs and myoblasts showed obvious repairing effects on the injured muscular tissue, and the strength of muscular tissue in myoblasts group was stronger than that in MSCs group. Western blot assay showed that MyoD expression in myoblasts group was much higher than that in both MSCs and control groups, the expressions of JNK1 and ERK2 were up-regulated in myoblasts group, and the p38 expression was down regulated significantly in the 1st week, but no significant difference was found when compared with those of the normal group at the 6th week. Conclusion Myoblasts transdifferentiated from MSCs induced by MyoD can repair the injuried muscular tissue effectively. JNK1, p38 and ERK2 play important roles in the repairing process.

Objective To study the effects of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) on hypermetabolism of skeletal muscle protein in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and explore the mechanisms. Methods Forty-five SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group,COPD group and COPD +TNF-? group(n=15).Rat COPD models were established by passive cigarette smoking in COPD group and COPD +TNF-? group.After dissecting and isolating the extensor digitorium longus(EDL) muscles,the EDL muscles were either cultured with media containing 10 ug/L recombinant rat TNF-? or without TNF-?.The subsequent changes in ubiquitin mRNA and protein levels were determined by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot,respectively. Results The expressions of ubiquitin mRNA and protein of COPD group and COPD+TNF-? group were higher than those of normal contro1 group(P
