With the progresses in medical research, reconstruction of body's deformation because of tumor or injury has been drawn more and more attentions. As autograft was limited by in short supply and dissatisfied performance, material scientists and medical researchers worked hard together and laid emphasis on manmade materials. Early studies were focused on absorbable materials. Since there was great discrepancy between absorption time and tissue repairing time, the studies on absorbable materials were blocked. From 1960's, more and more studies focused on bioceramics because of its excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties. But the brittleness of bioceramics limited it for clinical use. In recent time, the strengthened ceramics and nano-bioceramics have been paid more attention and made great success. Scientists foretell that nano-technology would be the strategy of changing the brittleness of ceramics. The characters of nano-compound bioceramics were fit for the mechanical properties demand of man's hard tissue more. That infused new vigor into the research of bioceramics.

BACKGROUND: Previous research has investigated the effect of nano-zirconium dioxide-toughened hydroxyapatite (nano-ZrO2-HA) on the proliferation and differentiation of rabbit bone marrow stromal cells.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the biocompatibility of nano-ZrO_2-HA compound.METHODS: The experiments of acute toxicity,subacute toxicity,pyrogen,hemolysis,and intramuscular implantation were performed on New Zealand rabbits,healthy adult Kunming mice,and adult rats according to "Technical Evaluation Standards of Biomedical Materials and Medical Instruments",promulgated by Chinese Board of Health.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Acute toxicity: All experimental animals survived.There was no significant difference in body mass before and after testing (P> 0.05).Pyrogen: Heating reaction was not tested.Hemolysis: Generally speaking,hemolytic crisis was not observed after 1 hour,and hemolytic rate was less than 5%.Intramuscular implantation: Infection did not occur in any animals,and materials were not discharged at all.Four weeks later,muscles were closely integrated with materials.A certain quantity of tissue grew into material pore,and peripheral muscle still had normal morphology and structure.Subacute toxicity:There was no significant difference in body mass and blood routine before and 2 weeks after testing.HE staining demonstrated that necrotic focus and other lesion were not observed in heart,liver,and kidney tissues under optic microscope.The results suggested that nano-ZrO_2-HA was non-toxicity,and it had no pyrogen and hemolysis effect,as well as it did not stimulate to the muscle of rabbit.Inflammatory rejection did not happen to the animal.The nano-ZrO_2-HA was closely integrated with the muscle,characterizing by great biocompatibility.Therefore,it can be used as substitution materials in clinical experiment.But it still needs to be evaluated completely.

Objective To evaluate the clinical applications and surgical methods of combined laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) exploration with choledochoscopy. Methods From 2006 to 2009,clinical data of 42 patients with choledocholithiasis undergoing laparoscopic common bile duct exploration were retrospectively analyzed. We applied a step-by-step electric coagulating incision technique on the CBD,the step-by-step suturing technique, and the step-by-step clamping technique with alligator forceps, and soft tube irrigating technique with suctioning by selecting the proper exploration route, improving the common bile duct incision technique and calculus removing techniques. Results Procedures were successful in all the cases. There was no conversions to open surgery, no postoperative bleeding and no operative mortality. The mean operating time was 120 minutes (ranging, 90 to 150 minutes) with minimal intraoperative blood loss ( ranging, 20 to 40 ml). Ductal stone clearance was successful in 41 out of 42 patients ( 93% ). The largest number of the common bile duct stones was 16. With the diameter of stones larger than 15 mm in 18 cases in which the biggest was 30 mm. Bile leak developed in 1 patient, retained stones found in 3 patients,including intrahepatic cholelithiasis in one case. As a result, 38 out of 42 patients underwent common bile duct exploration. 35 patients were placed on T-tubes. Four patients underwent cystic duct exploration in which 3 had primary suture of the cystic duct and 1 had drainage. There was no infection and stenosis of biliary tract in the 42 followed-up cases. Conclusions Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration with stone extraction can be performed with high efficiency, minimal morbidity and without mortality. Improving the way of operation and selecting suitable exploration can result in better clinical outcomes.

Objective To investigate the efficiency and safety of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for malignant hematological diseases in patients older than 50 yeas of age. Methods From May 2002 to January 2010, 35 patients (＞ 50 years) with malignant hematological diseases received allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. In 35 patients, 18 patients were conditioned with non-myeloablative regimen and 17 patients with myeloablative regimen. The outcome,engraftment and prognosis of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation were analyzed. Results The hematopoetic reconstitution was achieved in 32 of 35 patients. The median time of granulocyte count exceeding 0. 5 × 109/L was 12 days and the that of platelet count exceeding 20 × 109/L was 17days. The cumulative incidence of aGVHD was 48. 6 %, and 37. 9 % patients developed cGVHD.The estimate probability of cumulative survival at 5 years was 48. 5 %, The estimate probability of cumulative mortality rate was 51.5 %, and the estimated transplant-related mortality was 22. 9 %.The relapse rate was 11.4 %. There was significant difference except for the incidence of cGVHD.Conclusion Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation may be appropriate for older patients with malignant hematological diseases.

Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells in the treatment of central nervous system leukemia (CNSL). Methods: Two leukemia patients with CNSL were treated with CD19-CAR-T cells. The process and results of the entire treatment is reported and related literature review is conducted. Results: The patients were diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-M₂ with B lymphoid antigen expression and B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL) by morphology and immunophenotype assay. The immunophenotype was consistent with the abnormal manifestations of AML-M₂ and B-ALL. Their clinical manifestations and laboratory tests met the diagnostic criteria of CNSL. The diagnosis was clear and the two patients were treated with CD19-CAR-T cell immunotherapy. Central nervous system symptoms were relieved. The imaging abnormalities of patient one has disappeared but cytokines release syndrome (CRS) occurred during the treatment. Cerebrospinal fluid of patient two was negative and no obvious CRS reaction was found. Conclusions CAR-T cell immunotherapy is likely to induce the remission of CNSL and improve the prognosis.

Ballistocardiogram (BCG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) can realize the detection of cardiac function from mechanical and electrical dimensions respectively. By extracting the corresponding characteristic parameters of the two signals and carrying out joint analysis, an important cardiac physiological index such as cardiac contractility, can be reflected. To overcome the shortcomings of complication and heaviness of the existing acquisition equipment, a wearable BCG-ECG signal acquisition system is designed in this paper, which realizes BCG signal acquisition based on accelerometer and ECG signal acquisition based on conductive rubber electrodes. The signals of 6 healthy persons were collected, and BCG signals collected by piezoelectric films were used as reference signals. The waveform characteristics of signals were compared, and the difference of cardiac cycle acquisition was analyzed. The waveform characteristics of the two signals acquired by the device were consistent with the standard signals, and there was no significant difference in the acquisition of the cardiac cycle between the proposed method and the traditional method. The results show that the system can accurately collect human BCG signals and ECG signals. The system provides a basis for subsequent research on BCG signal formation mechanism and health applications.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of the the hypopharynx and chest esophageal carcinoma. Methods: 20 patients surgical treatment data of the hypopharynx and chest esophageal carcinoma from January 2013 to July 2019 were reviewed. Results: The simultaneous hypopharynx and esophageal carcinoma 11 cases. The heterochronic hypopharynx and chest esophageal carcinoma 9 cases. 20 cases are all squamous cell carcinoma. The synchronus operation included total pharyngolaryngo esophagectomy, gastric tube interposition pharyngo gastric anastomic, neck and mediastinal lymph nodes dissection, tracheostomy. The heterochronic operation included the first stage radical hypopharygealectomy, the second stage radical esophagealectomy. Postoperative complications included in hospital death in one, double pneumonia in 3 and anastomosis stricture in one case. Pharynx gastric fistula in 2. Swallowing function were all recovered. Conclusion Although laryngo pharyngo esophagectomy and pharyngogastric anastomoses for the hypopharynx and chest esophageal carcinoma is a simple and acceptable procedure, the quality of life is not satisfactory. And although colon interpasation for esophageal replacement is complicated the quality of life is the best.
