Objective To study the construction of tissue engineering fat filler and the survival of fat particles.Methods Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) was derived from inguinal subcutaneous fat of rabbits,mixed with autologus mature fat particles and with or without neuropeptide Y to construct PLGA composite tissue.The complex was subcutaneously transplantef into back sites of the rabbits.Based on the different combination five groups were divided:Group A:PLGA + mature fat particles without NPY;Group B:PLGA + mature fat particles + NPY;Group C:PLGA + complex of SVF with mature fat particles without NPY;Group D:PLGA + complex of SVF with mature fat particles + NPY;Group E:Complex of SVF with mature fat particles + small ball with NPY.Diffenrence of virous constructive ways and fat particle survival was evaluated by general observation,histological staining,fluorescence tracing at two weeks,one month and three month after operation.Results Group D was superior to groups A,B,C and E in survival volume,graft texture and vascularization at one mouth and three mouths.The fat average srvival rate was 57.5±2.5％.Fat cell grew well,and precursor cells proliferated and differentiated actively.Conclusions High quality tissue engineering materials are successfully established with SVF-mature fat particle complex,PLGA and NPY,which could obviously improve fat particle transplantation.

Objective: To investigate the effect of the gene interfering technology on fatty acid synthase (FAS) gene silencing for lipid contents in human hepatic cell line HepG2 and to study the lipid metabolism related gene expression in HepG2 cells. Methods: A total of 3 pairs of small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting different sequences of FAS mRNA were synthesized as FAS-siRNA-1, FAS-siRNA-2 and FAS-siRNA-3, meanwhile, 2 controls were established as Blank control group, in which HepG2 cells were not treated, and Negative control group, in which HepG2 cells were transfected by non-effective siRNA. The mRNA, and protein expression levels of FAS in HepG2 cells were examined by real-time lfuorescence quantitative RCR and Western blot analysis to screen the most effective pair of siRNA for FAS gene silencing; and that speciifc siRNA was transtected to HepG2 cells for 48 hours to detect the intra-/extra-cellular TG, TC levels and the mRNA expression related to lipid metabolism in HepG2 cells. Results: The screening experiment indicated that FAS-siRNA-3 was most effective for FAS gene silencing. Compared with Blank control group, the mRNA and protein expressions in FAS-siRNA-3 transfected HepG2 cells (Transfected group)decreased to (52.33 ± 3.07) % and (51.57 ± 3.14) % respectively. Compared with Blank control group, Transfected group had the reduced intra-/extra-cellular TG levels and reduced extracellular TC level; while increased mRNA expression of hepatic lipase,P<0.0001 and decreased mRNA expression of TG transfer protein in HepG2 microsome,P<0.05. Conclusion: FAS gene silencing could signiifcantly decrease the intra-/extra- cellular TG level and extracellular TC level in HepG2 cells, those ifndings need to be conifrmed by furtherin vivo andin vitro studies.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of soluble growth stimulating expression gene 2 protein (sST2) combined with neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the prediction of nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) myocardial injury.Methods:Patients with ACOP myocardial injury from January 2017 to December 2019 in Emergency Ward and EICU of Harrson International Peace Hospital, Hebei Medical University were enrolled. NLR was calculated by routine blood examination on admission, and sST2 (T 0sST2, T 3dsST2) was detected by ELISA on admission and at 3 days after admission. According to the occurrence of cardiovascular adverse events, the patients were divided into the event group and the non-event group. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of in-hospital cardiovascular adverse events. ROC curve was used to analyze the value of sST2, NLR, sST2 and NLR combined in predicting the occurrence of in-hospital cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury. Results:Totally 255 patients with ACOP myocardial injury were included in the final analysis. NLR was (13.38±4.33) in the event group and (9.57±4.22) in the non-event group, T 3dsST2 was (61.59±22.67) ng/mL in the event group and (40.52±13.14) ng/mL in the non-event group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.01). T 0sST2 was (265.34±89.95) ng/mL in the event group and (242.43±93.09) ng/mL in the non-event group, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.333). Logistic regression analysis showed that NLR ( OR=1.270, 95% CI: 1.125-1.434, P<0.01) and T 3dsST2 ( OR=1.082, 95% CI: 1.052-1.114, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury. The optimal cutoff value of T 3dsST2 was 44.5 ng/mL, and of NLR was 12.08. The sensitivity and specificity of dual T 3dsST2 and NLR in predicting nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events was 79.3% and 82.7%, respectively (AUC 0.857, Youden index 0.620). Conclusions:T 3dsST2 and NLR are independent risk factors for the nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury. The predictive cutoff values are 44.5 ng/mL for T 3dsST2 and 12.08 for NLR. Combination of T 3dsST2 and NLR has a practical predictive value for nosocomial cardiovascular adverse events in patients with ACOP myocardial injury.

OBJECTIVETo define the optimal development time of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) venography in cervical cancer patients and establish 3D CT-based digital pelvic model of the patients.

METHODSThirty patients with cervical cancer stratified by FIGO surgical staging underwent micro-CT scanning of the arterial phase and the venous phase with a delay time of 70, 90 and 120 s. The images were interpreted independently by two experienced radiologists to define the optimal development time in venous phase and establish the imaging diagnosis. Based on the pelvic CT scan data, we segmented the images using the abdominal medical image-3D visualization system followed by 3D image reconstruction to establish the 3D digital pelvic model using FreeForm Modeling System to modify the reconstructed images.

RESULTSThe optimal images were obtained by scanning with a 90-sec delay time. Micro-CT was not sensitive to IB1 phase or earlier phases (1/5), but efficient in advanced stages (≥IB2 phase). In our cases, 25 were diagnosed by micro-CT with a diagnostic accuracy of 64%. Based on these CT data, the pelvic 3D model covering the main organs, vessels, cervical neoplasm, and supplying vessels of the tumor in the pelvic cavity were successfully reconstructed to allow spatial observations of the uterus and the neighboring organs.

CONCLUSIONThe 3D digital pelvic model reconstructed provides a means for staging cervical cancer and facilitates further surgical simulation studies.
