Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;19(30):4764-4768
BACKGROUND:Nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 is a new nanobionic composite material and has good biocompatibility and bone conduction, but after implantation, whether the composite material can bind to vertebral bone interface and whether it is safe in clinical use stil need further studies. OBJECTIVE: To observe the ability of nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide composite binding to the interface of artificial humeral head. METHODS: The rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: composite group was implanted with nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide composites; control group implanted with autologous bone. After the replacement, rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were subjected to primary culture, and then the cels were co-cultured with the composite material. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 24 hours after culture, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels grew wel on the composite materials. The cel adhesion rate was significantly higher in the composite group than the control group at 1 and 4 hours after culture (P < 0.05). After co-culture 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 hours, the absorbance value of cels in the composite group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). At 24 weeks after replacement, changing ranges in the proportions of bone tissue and fibrous layers on the implant surface as wel as coverage rate in the composite group were the highest (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the nano-hydroxyapatite/ polyamide composite implant has a certain binding capacity, which can make a good interface osseointegration.

Objective To investigate the effects of laporoscopic resection applied to colorectal cancer patients on metabolism. Methods According to patients' choice of operation, either laparoscopic-assisted (n = 22, experimental group) or open(n = 27, control group) resection of colorectal cancer was performed. The levels of electrolyte were assayed preoperatively, postoperatively and on the time of 24 hours after opera-tion. Rseults There was no significant difference in the level of electrolyte before operation between the two groups (P > 0. 05). Compared with the preoperative period, the level of serum potassium in the both groups were significantly increased after operation(P < 0. 05), and 24 hours later, the levels of electrolyte was not significantly different in both the two groups (P > 0. 05). During the postoperative period, the level of serum potassium in the experimental group was lower than the control group(P <0. 05), while the level of HCO_3~- was higher than the control group(P <0. 05), and there were no significant differences in the level of serum sodium, chloride and calcium between the two groups(P > 0. 05). Conclusions Laparoscopic-assisted re-section of colorectal cancer gives lower levels of stress responses compared to open surgery. However, it shows higher effect on the level of HCO_3~- , and must be paid more attention during operative and postopera-tive period.

Objective To study the related literature information of the core journal, Chinese Journal of Trauma, in 2003-2007 and evaluate its academic quality. Methods Analysis on literature information and quality evaluation were performed based on the A total of 1 708 related papers were selected from 60 issues of the journal from 2003 to 2007 to evaluate the quality of the journal in seven aspects. Re-suits (1) Average publication capacity index was 0.38 in five years. (2) The major sources of the au-thors were from medical universities or their affiliated hospitals and provincial or military medical units. (3) The major types of the papers were scientific researches, original articles and experience exchange (71.0%). (4) There were 326 grant-based projects, accounting for 35.9% of scientific researches and o-riginal articles. (5) There were average 10.2 quotations in each paper, including 72.2% of foreign docu-mentation, 27.8% Chinese documentation and 6.4% serf-citation. (6) Of all, 684 (75.3%) scientific researches and original articles applied statistical analysis. (7) Of all, 756 (87.4%) scientific researches and original articles were issued with English abstracts. Conclusion Chinese Journal of Trauma has the superiority in above seven aspects, which confirms its quality as a core journal.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of Twist protein in adenocarcinoma of prostate and clinicopathological features and explore its roles in the carcinogenesis and progression of adenocarcinoma of prostate and its relationship with prognosis.MethodsThe expression of Twist was detected in 70 cases with adenocarcinoma of prostate and 30 cases with side cancer tissue by immunohistochemistry (EnlivionTM).ResultsThe expression of Twist protein in adenocarcinoma of prostate was higher than side cancer tissue.The expression of twist was related to Gleason grade,clinical stage and bony metastasis (P<0.05),but it was not related to the age (P>0.05).The survival rate of Twist protein positive patients was significant lower than negative patients(x2=9.52,P<0.01).ConclusionsTwist might be an important biological marker for malignant transformation and invasion and metastasis adenocarcinoma of prostate,and the up-regulation of the expression of Twist reflects more invasion and poor prognosis.

Objective To analyze the MR imaging features of pyocephalus. Methods MR imaging features!of pyocephalus in 5 cases with clinically proved were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were undergone no-contrast MR imaging. 3 patients received diffusion weighted-imaging(DWI). Results In all five patients,the debris and pus with pus-fluid level were shown inside the lateral ventricle.The debris or pus was slightly hyperintense on T1WI, slightly hypointense on T2WI relative to cerebrospinal fulid(CSF). On DWI, the debris was hyperintense in 1 case and isointense in 2 cases.Conclusion The features of MR imaging of pyocephalus is specific. MR imaging is valuable in the diagnosis of pyocephalus.

Objective:To investigate the changes and clinical significances of serum levels of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF),interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:126 cases of patients with RA in our hospital from June 2013 to December 2016 were selected as RA group and divided into two subgroups as active RA group (69 cases) and remission RA group (57 cases) according to the severity of the disease.55 healthy cases who receive physical check in our hospital at same time were selected as the control group.The serum GM-CSF,IL-6 TNF-α levels were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared between different groups,the correlation of serum GM-CSF,IL-6 TNF-α levels with DAS28 were analyzed.Results:The serum GM-CSF,IL-6 TNF-α levels of RA group were significantly higher than those of the remission RA group and control group (P<0.01),and the serum GM-CSF,IL-6 TNF-α levels of remission RA group were also significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.01).Positive correlation between serum GM-CSF,IL-6 and TNF-α levels were found(P<.0.01).The level of DAS28 was significantly correlated with the levels of serum GM-CSF,IL-6 and TNF-α (r=0.473,0.584,0.675,all P<0.01).Conclusion:The levels of serum GM-CSF,IL-6 and TNF-α were up-regulated in patients with RA and positively correlated with the activity of RA,which might be of important clinical significance in the early diagnosis,disease evaluation and prognosis of RA.
