BACKGROUND:Differentiation of growth factor-induced cells into fibrocartilage is the hot topic in the research of meniscus tissue engineering. The in vitro construction and in vivo reconstruction of menisci are closely related with the effect of growth factors. OBJECTIVE:To review the current development of growth factors in meniscus tissue engineering, and to investigate the mechanism. METHODS:The VIP database (http://lib.cqvip.com), CNKI database (www.cnki.net) and PubMed database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) were retrieved for the related articles from January 2008 to March 2013 with the key words of“meniscus tissue engineering, cartilage, growth factors”. A total of 53 articles on the research of growth factors in meniscus tissue engineering were included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were various growth factors in cartilage tissue engineering research, and the new growth factors have been found in the constant. The research on the regulation effect of growth factors on cartilage was changed from the research of single growth factor model to the research of the interactions between multiple growth factors;the molecular mechanisms of growth factors in regulating the cartilage have also been extensively studied. Growth factors have good application prospects in tissue engineering, but there are stil many problems to be solved, such as during the healing of menisci, the expressions and the effect of different growth factors are different in different time points. So how to play the interaction between growth factors timely and appropriately thus stimulating the in vivo microenvironment, investigating the molecular mechanisms of growth factors in regulating the cartilage, as wel as finding the new growth factors are the research focus in meniscus tissue engineering.

PurposeTo assess the level of agreement and interchangeability among Excel and CMRtools (2012) for calculation of T2* values in iron overload.Materials and Methods T2* images in 27 cases withβ-thalassemia major were imported into CMRtools (2012). The regions of interest (ROI) were drawn and interference signal removed to obtain T2* values. The T2* images were also measured using default MR software and manually entered into Excel to obtain T2* values after removal of the interference signal. The agreement between the two methods in calculating T2* values was compared.Results For 27 patients withβ-thalassemia major, 10 cases showed myocardial iron overload. 25 cases had liver iron overload. The T2* values from two methods were not statistically significant (t=-0.152 and-0.691,P>0.05) for the liver.Conclusion There is good agreement and interchangeability between Excel and CMRtools (2012) in calculating T2* values. Excel can be used clinically to evaluate iron overload.

BACKGROUND:Smal intestinal submucosa is characterized as antimicrobial activity, good biocompatibility, bio-mechanical properties, and rapid degradation in vivo, similar to the extracellular matrix of meniscal
fibrochondrocytes.
OBJECTIVE:To observe whether there exists a good histocompatibility between smal intestinal submucosa and synovial mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS:Smal intestinal submucosa was treated with physical and chemical treatment. And hematoxylin-eosin staining and scanning electron microscopy observation were performed. Then, smal intestinal submucosa extracts were prepared for the fol owing experiments. (1) Pyrogenic test:smal intestinal submucosa extracts were injected into the ear vein of New Zealand white rabbits. (2) Skin sensitization test:smal intestinal submucosa extracts, paraformaldehyde solution and normal saline were respectively injected intradermal y into New Zealand white rabbits. (3) General toxicity test:smal intestinal submucosa extracts and normal saline were respectively injected into the ear vein of New Zealand white rabbits. Smal intestinal submucosa was co-cultured with osteogenic rabbit synovial mesenchymal stem cells, and smal intestinal submucosa cultured alone served as control. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were some intestinal mucosal epithelial cells, fat cells and other cells adhered onto the surface of smal intestinal submucosa after physical treatment. While, the amount of residual cells decreased sharply after chemical treatment. But the main structure and the component had not been changed. The surface of smal intestinal submucosa was smooth and no cells remained, and there was a three-dimension network spatial structure. The porosity was 80%. Smal intestinal submucosa is a non-toxic, nonirritating, non-immunogenic biomaterial with very good biocompatibility, which has a good histocompatibility with rabbit synovial mesenchymal stem cells.

BACKGROUND:A large amount of studies have confirmed that synovial mesenchymal stem cells have the similarity in cellmorphology, immune phenotype, colony forming ability and differentiation potential with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. But bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are better than synovial mesenchymal stem cells in the ability to differentiate into cartilages. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the possibility of using synovial mesenchymal stem cells as seed cells for meniscal tissue engineering. METHODS:The synovial mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from rabbit synovial tissues with limiting dilution monoclonal culture method, and then the cells were purified. The morphology, ultrastructure, molecular phenotype, proliferation kinetics, karyotype and tumorigenicity of the in vitro cultured cells were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The synovial mesenchymal stem cells isolated from the rabbit synovial cells had high proliferation capacity during in vitro monolayer culture. The synovial mesenchymal stem cells grew to peak at 6 days, and the doubling time was (30.2±2.4) hours. Flow cytometry results showed the synovial mesenchymal stem cells could express some molecular makers of mesenchymal stem cells, such as CD44 and CD90. DNA contents check, karyotype test and oncogenicity test confirmed isolated and purified synovial mesenchymal stem cells were the normal diploid cells without tumorigenicity, so the cells can be used as seed cells for meniscal tissue engineering.

Objective To investigate the biosecurity and biocompatibility of small intestinal submucosa (SIS) as scaffold for tissue engineering and to explore the possibility to induce synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) differentiate into cartilage with SIS as the scaffold and SMSCs as the seed cells. Methods The SMSCs were isolated and cultured from the synovial mem-brane of knee joints of rabbits by a conventional method. The SIS was harvested from pigs according to the physical method and Abraham's method. 4 rabbits are divided into the experimental group and control group. The biosecurity of SIS as scaf-folds were investigated in pyrogen test, skin sensitization test and systemic toxicity test. The SMSCs and SIS were co-cultured in vitro and induced to differentiate into cartilage to explore the biocompatibility of SMSCs and SIS, the proliferation and differ-entiation ability of SMSCs on the scaffold of SIS. The varietyies were identified by the microscope. Results The SIS isolated with the physical method and Abraham's method is a milky and translucent membrane with a smooth surface. Under the electron microscope, SIS presented a porous Stereoscopic three-dimensional network structure, which is formed by fibrous tissues' intertex-ture. Its' porosity was about 80%and its aperture was 100-200μm. Meanwhile, the biosecurity and biocompatibility of SIS were also fine. In the trial that the SMSCs and SIS were co-cultured in vitro, the SMSCs can grow, adhere to and differentiate on the sur-face of SIS and into the hollows very well. It can also secrete extracellular matrix. Through scanning microscope observation, cells contact with each other by their neuritis, or adhered to the wall of hole by cellular protrution. On the surface of SIS, the SMSCs maintain the property that it can easily differentiate into the chondrogenic lineage in the chondrogenic medium. Immunochemistry staining showed positive expression of type II collagen post 21 days of co-cultrue. Conclusion SIS can be used as the scaffold to construct tissue engineering meniscus as it has good biosecurity and biocompatibility with SMSCs without disturbing the cell form or inhibiting the growth and function of SMSCs.
