To investigate whether the use of concentrate growth factors have a favorable impact on clinical outcome of immediate implant in periodontally infected sites.48 patients with 51 teeth with periodontitis and periapical periodontitis accepted immediate implantation in the maxillary esthetic zone.25 implants(test group) were placed simultaneously with guided bone regeneration (GBR) using CGF combined with Bio-oss, other 26 implants(control group) were treated with Bio-oss alone.The facial bone thickness at 0, 4 and 8mm apical to the implant platform were measured immediately after, 3 months after and 6 months after surgery;pain visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the degreeof pain in the patient within 1 week after surgery.3 months after surgery,the change of horizontal resorption in labial was less in test group(P<0.05).In the first three days postsurgery, the test group reported significantly less pain with respect to the control group(P<0.05).The application of CGF produced beneficial impacts on clinical outcome of immediate implant in periodontally infected sites.

0.05). Minor hematoma occurred in four patients with transradial approach and in 59 with transfemoral approach (1.46% vs 17.78%, P0.05), and two patients required blood transfusion in group F. None of the patients suffered from pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, and ischemia of the hand. Conclusion Coronary angioplasty can be performed safely using the transradial approach with relatively few vascular complications and with better patient′s comfort.

Objective To use detergents and nucleic acid enzyme to prepare scaffold of extracellular ma-trix , then assess the morphological and cytotoxic changes in vitro , and explore the feasibility of this type of scaffold as an ideal tissue-engineering scaffold. Methods Fifty pieces of fresh nucleus pulposus were randomly divided into a fresh control group and a decellularized group. The specimens in decellularized group were treated with 0.3%Tri-ton X-100, 0.5%sodium deoxycholate, and nuclease for 24 h. Morphological changes were studied by macroscopy, pathological staining and scanning electron microscopy. Cytotoxicity was determined by CCK-8 and LIVE/DEAD Viability/Cytotoxicity Assay Kit in vitro. Results The shape of scaffold was maintained,and the extracellular ma-trix was presented while the cells disappeared after decellularization. As compared with the fresh tissue , the scaffold and its extracts had no cytotoxicity to rabbit bone marrow stem cells. Conclusions Almost all the cells have been removed while the extracellular matrix is reserved , and the scaffold has no cytotoxicity to the seed cells. The decel-lularized scaffold can be used as an ideal substance to fabricate tissue-engineering nucleus pulposus.

In vitro construction technology is a key approach to industrialization and clinic application of engineered cartilage. However, it is very difficult to acquire a functional engineered cartilage with the present technology. Bioreactors can simulate the cartilage microenvironment in vivo and are expected to make up the shortcoming of the present technology. Current bioreactors in use are designed according to fluid shear pressure, hydrostatic pressure and/or direct compression, all of which can promote the development and mature of cartilage in vivo. Due to the failure to achieve ideal results by a single-purpose bioreactor, it will become a development direction in future to design and produce a compound bioreactor. This article reviewed the advances in the bioreactor for cartilage tissue engineering.

[Objective]To evaluate the surgical effect of posterior correction and instrumentation on the treatment of congenital kyphoscolosis deformity. [Methods]From july 2002 to august 2007,there were 15 congenital kyphoscoliotic patients,which included 8 males and 7 females with an average age of 11.6 years.The average Cobb’s angle of scoliosis was 78?(35?~156?),the average Cobb’s angle of kyphosis was 25?(15?~38?).For the 9 kyphoscolsis patients with hemivertebra,hemivertebra resection and intervertebral fusion and fixation with pedicle screw instrument system were used,Luque’s systems was used in 2 cases,for the 3 cases accompanied with Chiari malformation and/or syringomyelia and 1 case with neurofibroma,posterior correction and long segmental pedicle screw fixation were performed and the compensative curve was included in the instrumentation level.[Results]The operation time was 3.5~7.5 h (average,5.5 h ),the blood loss was 300~2 100 ml (mean,850 ml);the average follow-up was 43 months (10~82 months),and the radiographs taken from standing posteroanterior position and lateral side showed that the mean Cobb’s angle of scoliosis was corrected from preoperative 78? to postoperative 28?(11?~38?),with a correction rate of 64%.Postoperatively ,the angle of kyphosis was improved from the preoperative 25? to 16?( 7?~33?),with a correction rate of 36%.Solid fusion was achieved in all 15 cases of patients. But significant blood loss occurred in the operative procedure of neurofibroma. And long term follow-up showed 3 cases of rod fracture,1 case of crankshaft phenomenon.[Conclusion]The congenital kyphoscolosis deformity is a kind of complex syndrome concerning skeleton-muscle-nerve system,aim to different cause,strategy of treatment should be individualized.The posterior hemivertebral resection and correction is a safe and effective method for the prepubertal children with the congenital hemivertebrae deformity.
