Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2016;36(14):932-937
The essential factors of bone tissue engineering include seed cell,growth factor and scaffold material.The biological structure,biological function and preparation method of scaffold material,which is the key component in bone tissue engineering,have attracted our attention.An ideal scaffold material needs to have adequate mechanical strength,appropriate degradation speed,good biocompatibility,satisfactory availability,low price,et al.Common scaffold materials in bone tissue engineering mainly consist of inorganic matter,organic matter and natural derivatives.Silk fibroin which is extracted from silkworm protein fiber contains 18 kinds of amino acids.The glycine,alanine,serine are the main types in silk fibroin and its structure consisted of hydrogen bonding,hydrophobic bonding and crystalline region.Those special structures make it has good flexibility and tensile strength.Silk fibroin has other advantages incluing air permeability,moisture permeability and biodegradation.Besides silk fibroin with curing crystallization of diversification that easy to maintain biological affinity and form a special porous structure.Silk fibroin has good film and gel forming ability.Silk fibroin can bond with some other materials to further improve its physical and chemical properties.Silk fibroin can be formed into porous shape,membranous,gel and composite materials scaffold.The materials scaffold which based on silk fibroin has excellent mechanical performance,adjustable degradation speed,high biocompatibility and good osteogenesis performance,besides capability of loading cells,bioactive factors and drugs.In addition,silk fibroin which can be made into gel scaffold,porous scaffold,electrospinning fiber,and compound scaffold et al has three-dimensional porous and biological function for bone tissue engineering as a new choice and application prospect.

0.05).SF-36 data revealed significant postoperative improvement(P0.05).Main complications included deep infection in one case,deterioration of spondylolisthesis in two cases,conjunctional stenosis in one case,and broken pedicle screws in two cases.Six patients received revision surgery.[Conclusion]Surgical treatment of DLSS may result in satisfactory outcome.Transpedicular screw fixation may not improve the clinical outcomes and posterior instrumentation should be adopted cautiously and properly.
4.Clinical value of the plasma 1,3-β-D-glucan detection in the diagnosis of penicilliposis marneffei
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2010;17(18):2449-2451
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of the quantitative detection of plasma 1,3-β-D-glucan in penicilliposis marneffei. Methods The 1,3-β-D-glucan concentrations were detected by using a G test. Results In 60 New Zealand rabbits infected by Penicillium marneffei,the levels of 1,3-β-D-glucan were positively correlated with infectious severity. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive rate and negative predictive rate were 88.3%、100%、 100% and 58.8% respectively,which were significantly higher than those of the control group(P <0.01 ).Conclusion The quantitative method for the detection of 1,3-β-D-glucan in plasma was simple,sensitive and reliable, and could be used as the assisting diagnosis of penicilliposis marneffei at early stage.

Objective To compare the clinical features of space infections in the oral maxillofacial region between patients with diabetes mellitus and patients without diabetes.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 61 patients diagnosed with space infections in the oral maxillofacial region and receiving treatment at the department of oral and The 4nd Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between 2013 and 2016.The patients were divided into 2 groups:diabetic group (n =28) and non-diabetic group (n =33).The study variables were demography,etiology,clinical and laboratory examinations (bacteriology,admission blood glucose level,admission white blood cell count and percent of neutrophil on admission).The outcome was compared.The length of hospital stay and complications were also compared.Statistical analyses of the results between groups were performed using the t test and chi square test.Results For oral and maxillofacial space infection,there was no statistically significant difference in gender between the diabetic group and (28 cases) and non diabetes group (33 cases) (x 2 test,P=0.5929);while there were statistically significant differences between two groups in age (t test,P<0.001) and in the number of infection space (t test,P<0.001);there was no significant difference between the two groups in the sources of infection (x 2,P>0.05);The main source of infection was odontogenic,followed by adenogenous.There were statistically significant differences between two groups in blood glucose concentration at admission (t test,P<0.001) and in the hospitalization time and complications (t test and x 2 test P<0.05),while no statistically significant differences in the white blood cells count and neutrophil count (t test,P>0.05).Compared with the non diabetic group,for patients in the diabetic group,the age of onset was older,the involvd gaps were more,the blood glucose concentration was higher on admission,the length of stay was longer,complications were more likely to occur,and the consequences were more serious.Conclusion Compared with non diabetes group,space infection in oral and maxillofacial region is more serious and the hospital stay is longer and has more complications in diabetic patients which should be paid higher attention to.

Objective To study 3D imaging and pelvic angiography for multiple pelvic fracture. Methods 30 cases suspected with multiple pelvic fracture with vascular injury were performed with 3D imaging and pelvic angiography, whose dada were analyzed retrospectively. Results 30 cases had multiple pelvic fracture to different extents, of which 25 ones had no abnormality at lower part of abdominal aorta, left & right common iliac artery, left & right iliac artery, external iliac artery and upper part of left & right femoral artery, and 1 case, complicated with local hematoma, had a raptured left external iliac artery at the middle piece of the ilium, and another two cases, also complicated with local hematoma, had a raptured left iliac artery due to the comminuted fracture of the sacrum and a raptured right anterior femoral artery due to the fracture of light femur respectively. Conclusion 16-slice CT has to be involved in when the patient with multiple pelvic fracture is suspected with vasculaer injury.

The Baculoviridae are a large family of enveloped DNA viruses exclusively pathogenic to arthropods. Baculoviruses have been extensively used in insect cell-based recombinant protein expression system and as biological pesticides. They have been deomostrated to be safe to mammals, birds and fish. Recently, baculoviruses has been shown to transduce different mammalian cells in spite of the fact that they cannot replicate in mammalian cells (11, 73, 76). This has resulted in the development of baculoviruses as mammalian expression systems and even as vestors for gene therapy.

Diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) is one of the main blinding eye diseases for people over the age of 50, and diabetic macular edema ( DME) is the leading cause of vision loss is DR patients. The early diagnosis and early treatment is important. As OCT and FFA, mfERG, especially the retinal thickness, volume, retinal edema index quantitative indicators such as objective evaluation of macular edema, embodies the new progress of retinal imaging technology in recent years. OCT is a non -contact clinical application in recent years, noninvasive, high resolution of ophthalmic imaging examination, can do it on retinal ultrastructure observation and quantitative analysis, and the technology is relatively mature, become a routine inspection diagnosis of macular edema. Laser photocoagulation, intravitreous injection with Ranibizumab and vitrectomy is nowadays the important means for the treatment of intractable macular edema.
