BACKGROUND: The coating induced by conventional simulated body fluid (SBF) and 1.5-folds SBF as biomimetic method has the shortcomings of slowly growth with weeks or months growth cycle. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate Ti-6Al-4V alloy surface deposition of hydroxyapatite coating induced by 3-folds SBF. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: In vitro biological analysis. The experiment was performed at the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences from November 2008 to March 2009. MATERIALS: Ti-6A1-4V alloy was supported by Boda Metel Materials Co., Ltd. METHODS: The pretreated Ti-6Al-4V alloy was immersed in 37 'C 3-folds SBF. The SBF was replaced every 24 hours for 3 days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The morphology, phase and elemental composition of calcium phosphate coating were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy analysis. RESULTS: The scanning electron microscopy exhibited that the surface of Ti-6A1 -4V alloy was covered with deposited film with granular crystal on local areas at day 1 after immersion. The deposited film covered surface of Ti-6A1-4V alloy at day 3 after immersion, and granular or scale-shaped crystal could be seen. The crystal deposition displayed sustained growth with certain area as center. The product comprised Ca, P, O, C elements without Al, V. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed that the main component of the coating was hydroxyapatite. CONCLUSION: The 3-folds SBF can accelerate the deposition as well as shorten formation duration of hydroxyapatite coating on Ti-6A1-4V alloy.

Objective To investigate the effect of desflurane anesthesia on the autonomic nervous system in patients at high risk for coronary artery disease.Methods Thirty patients at high risk for coronary artery disease scheduled for elective abdominal operation were selected. Heart rate variability (HRV) was assessed at preoperation, inhalation of 05,10,15 and 20 MAC of desflurane with Holter electrocardiography Results Low-frequency component increased markedly inhaling low concentration of desflurane. With the increase of the concentration of desflurane, both the high-frequency and low-frequency components decreased significantly (P0 05).Conclusions Desflurane balanced anesthesia dose not increase the activity of sympathetic nervous system.

Plastic bronchitis(PB) is an uncommon respiratory disease characterized by formation of casts in tracheobronchial tree.It can lead to airway obstruction, difficulty of breathing and even respiratory failure.PB in children is commonly associated with lower airway infection, cyanotic congenital heart disease and asthma or atopic diseases.It can also be found in children with sickle cell anemia, thalassemia and cystic fibrosis and so no.There are three main mechanisms for the formation of casts: airway inflammation results in mucus hypersecretion; inflammatory insults lead to necrosis and abscission of the airway epithelium, mucosal edema, and finally cause airway clearance impairment; leakage of chyle from lung lymphatic circulation into airway.But the etiology of this disease is various, pathogenesis is complex.Further research is required to elucidate the pathogenesis.

BACKGROUND: Drug treatment has unsatisfactory effect on Alzheimer disease, while many studies have indicated that the transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) is effective on Parkinson disease, cerebral ischemia, etc., but the mechanism is still unclear.OBJECTIVE: To imitate transplantation environment by co-culture of amyloid β1-40 (Aβ1-40) damaged PC12 cells and MSCs, observe the effect of bi-directional information feedback in the microenvironment on the transdifferentiation of MSCs to nerve cells, and observe its protective effect on the apoptosis of damaged PC12 cells.DESTGN: A comparative observation.SETTING: Department of Neurology, China Medical University.MATERIALS: SD rats of 2-3 weeks after birth either male or female were used. PC12 cell lines were purchased from the Institute of Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences; neuro-specific enolase (1:50, Boster, Wuhan);Methyl-thiazol-tetrazolium (MTT) 15 μL (terminal concentration of 0.5 g/L).METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Experimental Center (provincial experimental animal center) of China Medical University from June to July in 2004. Bilateral femurs were aseptically removed from 1 SD rat, and MSCs were identified using CD44 antibody immunofiuorescently. PC12 was used to replace nerve cells. The PC12 cells were stimulated by Aβ1-40 then transferred by Transwell. There were 5 groups: Group A: normally cultured PC12 co-cultured with MSCs; Group B: Aβ1-40 stimulated PC12 co-cultured with MSCs; Group C: normal PC12 supernatant+MSCs; Group D: damaged PC12 supernatant+MSCs; Group E: MSCs cultured with common medium 1640.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Routine immunohistochemical staining was performed. NSE positive cells were observed under inverted fluorescence microscope, 10 visual fields (200×) were randomly selected to count the positive cells. MTT metabolic rate was used to detect the proliferation of MSCs in each group. The differences of measurement data were compared using the one-way analysis of variance.fluorescent and bright fields, NSE positive cells appeared as red fluorescence, MSCs were bipolar, multipolar and cone shapes, and appeared as neuron-like forms with dendrite-like structure, and there were extensive connections among some neuron-like cells. The NSE positive rates was obviously higher in group B than groups A, C, D and E (P ＜ 0.01 ).in groups A, C, D and E (F=9.713, P＜ 0.01).

Aim To study the inhibitory and apoptosis-inducing effects of aspisol on proliferation of B16 melanoma in vitro and in vivo. Methods The effect of aspisol on the proliferation of B16 cells was analyzed by MTT assay; its effect on cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. The suspension of melanoma cells was injected subcutaneously into forelimb axillas of C57BL/6J mice to establish xenograft models. From the next day, the mice received intraperitoneal injection of aspisol in different concentrations once a day for 28 days; the mice received injection of dacarbazine (DTIC) were used as positive controls,and received injection of normal saline (NS) were used as negative controls. The inhibition rate of tumor growth was calculated .The apoptosis rate was detected by TUNEL assay. The expression of Survivin and C-erbB-2 was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Aspisol inhibited the proliferation of B16 cells, with the inhibition rate up to (68.78?1.27)%, and induced the apoptosis with the highest apoptosis rate up to 15.8%.The inhibition rate of tumor growth was 15.0% in 200 mg?kg-1 aspisol group, 32.3% in 400 mg?kg-1 aspisol group, 49.4% in 800 mg?kg-1 aspisol group,and 51.4% in 40 mg?kg-1 DTIC group. Typical apoptotic morphologic changes were seen in the 4 groups. Survivin and C-erbB-2 expression was significantly lower in aspisol groups than in NS group. Conclusion Aspisol could inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of B16 melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo, which may be correlated to down-regulation of Survivin and C-erbB-2.
