BACKGROUND:Early vascularization is crucial for wound healing. A high-porosity, macrovoid alogeneic skin leads to the rapid vascularization and celular infiltration.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain a new alogeneic skin product with high porosity, good cel permeability and good histocompatibility using an improved preparation method of human acelular dermal matrix.
METHODS: Cel components of healthy human skins were removed by the improved method and the traditional method, respectively. The improved method was to remove the subcutaneous fat, eliminate the epidermis (1 mol/L NaCl solution at 37℃ for 24 hours) folowed by shaking processing (2% NaOH at 45℃ for 4 hours), and then, the solution was neutralized with PBS rinsing, dried and stored at 4℃ for standby. We detected the porosity and degradation time in vitroof the acelular dermal matrices prepared by two methods and the cytotoxicity of the material infiltration liquid on the adipose-derived stem cels. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used for the detection of the cel residual, the integrity of colagen and cel biocompatibility. Scanning electron microscopy was used to detect the pore size.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Both the two methods could completely remove the cel components, and maintain the integrity of the colagen scaffold. The porosity of acelular dermal matrix with the improved method was (93.22±0.99)%, which was significantly higher than that with the traditional method [(74.28±2.06)%;P < 0.001]. However, there was no significant difference in in vitrodegradation time between the two kinds of acelular dermal matrices(P > 0.05). No obvious cytotoxicity of the acelular dermal matrix prepared with the improved method was detected. At 3-7 days of co-culture, the adipose-derived stem cels cultured on the acelular dermal matrix prepared with the improved method could penetrate the basement membrane to the deep dermis, while there was no obvious cel invasion and growth in the deep dermis prepared by the traditional method. Compared with the traditional method, the improved method is more suitable for cel infiltration and growth with higher porosity and larger pore size.

Objective To observe the efficacy of a rotating magnetic field and granisetron hydrochloride in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by a eisplatin regimen, and any side effects. Methods Sixty-eight patients receiving cisplatin regimen chemotherapy were randomly assigned to two groups: a magnetic treatment group and a drug treatment group. The patients in the two groups were exposed to a rotating magnetic field or received granisetron hydrochloride, respectively. The effects of the treatments were observed. Results Both treatments could effectively prevent and treat the vomiting caused by chemotherapy. The rate of response to the rotating magnetic field was 88.2% and to the drug 91.2%. However, tardive vomiting was significantly better controlled in the rotating magnetic field group. The incidence of side effects in the magnetic field group was 20.6% , and in the drug treatment group it was 45.6%. Conclusion The efficacy of a rotating magnetic field and granisetron in treating acute vomiting were simi- lar. The rotating magnetic field was more effective in preventing tardive vomiting and had fewer side effects. Magnetic therapy should be more generally applied in clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of antigen-pulsed dendritic cell (APDC) vaccine combined hyperthermia in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Fourteen patients with advanced NSCLC were enrolled in this study. All patients met the selecting standard and signed informed consent. Human dendritic cells were derived from peripheral blood monocytes by co-culturing them with granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and interleukin-4. DCs vaccine was prepared from antigen pulsed immature dendritic cells in vitro. The vaccine therapy was given once every week following local hyperthermia by NRL-001 Double RF Tumor Hyperthermia system (39.5 ℃-41 ℃ for 60-120 min). Every three-week was defined as a treatment cycle. Results: All patients received 16 cycles of combined treatment. The main adverse effect included fever, chill, myalgia, transient fatigue, itching, chest distress, local rashes, and blister. Seven of 14 patients had stable condition after treatment and another seven had a progressing condition, with a clinical beneficial rate of 50%. Median time to progress was 2.7 months in the patients and the overall survival period was 2.5 to 29.3 months, with the median survival time being 4.9 months; the one year survival rate was 21.4% in our group. Conclusion: The results suggest that combination of APDC vaccine therapy and local hyperthermia is well tolerated by NSCLC patients and is clinically beneficial to the patients; the clinical value of this therapy needs to be further studied.

Objective To observe the effect of a rotating magnetic field in preventing and treating irradiation-induced esophagitis in rats. Methods Forty female Wistar rats were randomized into 5 groups:a non-irradiated control group,an irradiation group,an amifostine treatment group ( amifostine group ),a 90 min magnetic field treatment group (90 min magnetic group) and a 120 min magnetic field treatment group ( 120 min magnetic group),with 8 rats in each group.The esophaguses of all rats except those in the control group were exposed to a single irradiation with 6 MV X-rays from a linear accelerator at a dosage of 43 Gy.Four rats in each group were randomly chosen to be observed 1 and 2 weeks after the irradiation.Blood cytokines were detected in their arterial blood.Any pathological changes of the esophagus were observed with HE staining under a light microscope at the same time. Results Irradiation-induced esophagitis was observed in the irradiation group 7 days after irradiation,with obvious exfoliation and necrosis of the esophagal epithelium mucosae.The submucosa were hyperaemic and dropsical with abundant inflammatory cell infiltration.The pathological changes of the esophagus were similar at 7 and 14 days after irradiation.However,the irradiation-induced esophagitis of rats in the amifostine group,the 90 min magnetic group and the 120 min magnetic group were relatively slighter and the blood leucocytes and neutrophis in those 3 groups were significantly lower than those in the irradiation group,while a tendency toward repair of the mucosa of the esophagus was detected.Serum TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 in the 90 min magnetic group and 120 min magnetic group were significantly lower than those in the irradiation group. Conclusions Both a rotating magnetic field and amifostine can help prevent and treat irradiation-induced esophagitis.Their therapeutic efficacy is similar.Exposure to a rotating magnetic field could inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors,and thus lessen the inflammatory reaction of acute irradiation-induced esophagitis.
