Bladder tissue engineering includes three components, namely cell scaffold, seeding cells and message factor. Seeding cells is essential to construct tissue engineering organs and is the native material of organ reconstruction. It is important to find a seeding cell which can not only provide excellent biocompatibility, but also can generate enough cells in work of organ reconstruction. At present, there are some commonly used seeding cells, for example, urinary bladder transitional epithelial cells,smooth muscle cells, coculture of smooth muscle cells and transitional epithelial cells, mesenchymal stem cells. Among the total,coculture of smooth muscle cells and transitional epithelial cells and mesenchymal stern cells are better than the others. The current problems of seeding cells are as follows: ①The mature cells that have been completely differentiated are limited in source and immunological rejection. ② The mature cells that have been completely differentiated during the differentiated only can generate in the limited passage culture procedure and they will age and die out of the passage maximum; in addition, the dedifferentiation also exists; ③further analysis should focus on the coculture of smooth muscle cells and transitional epithelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells into normal bladder.

OBJECTIVESr-HA, a new type of hydroxyapatite biomaterial, was implanted into animals to study the bioreaction and character, which would be helpful for the further clinical applications in the future.
METHODSTotally 24 rabbits were divided into 3 groups. The bone defect of 6 mm x 12 mm x 4 mm was made at both mandibular angles of rabbits and Sr-HA of different proportion (10%, 5%, 0) was applied to reform the defects. One group of animals were killed randomly at 1, 3 and 6 months after operation to evaluate the material biological compatibility using anatomic, X-ray examination, histological and ECT methods.
RESULTSThe histological photographs showed that Sr-HA caused little infection around implanted area and, almost was not repulsed by hosts. With the degradation of biomaterial, there was more apparent new bone growth in the area around Sr-HA than that around HA and some ossification can be found in soft tissue nearby. Also a tight osteointegrity was gradually got after the operation, according to the results of X-ray and, the border between Sr-HA and bone was hardly discovered at the 6th month after the operation. A more obvious nuclide assembling was observed at the side of Sr-HA by ECT images. With the biodegradation of Sr-HA, more new bone was intruded into the spare space of the biomaterial.
CONCLUSIONSr-HA has better biocompatibility and higher biodegradation than that of pure HA. It holds an excellent osteoinductivity and fair osteoconductivity to some degree too. So a more satisfying effect of bone defect rehabilitation was gained with the increasing new bone depositing in the free space of the material, when it degraded gradually.

6.Stress analysis of prosthodontics by finite element method.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2010;27(6):1415-1419
Finite element stress analysis has been widely used in stomatology. In this article, we summarized the stress distributions of all-ceramic crowns, post crowns, fixed partial dentures and implant support fixed dentures; and with the use of finite element method, we investigated the stress levels of the periodontal ligament of abutment. The results showed: the tensile stress and compressive stress concentrated at the cervical margin of all-ceramic crown and post crown; the stress at the surface of the crown was the highest; the stress concentration exhibited at the connector of fixed parital denture, the molar was an ideal abutment tooth for the fixed bridge; the largest stress appeared around the neck of the implant abutment. These results have provided a theoretical basis for clinical dentistry in terms of restoration design and manufacture. It is suggested that clinical dentists should be careful to avoid the horizontal laoding applied on the prostheses so as to improve the resistance of abutment tooth to fracture.

The solvent extraction of rare earths with mixtures of di-( 2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA,H2A2) and sec-nonylphenoxy acetic acid (CA100,H_2B_2) has been carried out. The separation abilities among rare earths were determined and compared with those with D_2EHPA alone. The mechanism of synergistic extraction of lanthanum was discussed. The methods of slope analysis and constant mole were used to examine the extraction stoichiometry. Effects of acidities,concentrations of extractants,and temperature on the extractabilities have been investigated. The results showed that the synergistic effects decrease with increasing atomic numbers of rare earths. At proper ratios of the extractants,the separation abilities of some rare earths with D2EHPA +CA100 were higher than those with D2EHPA alone,which may be applied to the separation of these rare earths. The extracted complex of lanthanum with D2EHPA + CA100 was determined as LaH5A6B2. The synergistic extraction is endothermically driven.
