Objective To investigate the relationship between K+ concentration in rabbit vitreous humor and postmortem interval (PMI) under different ambient temperature. Methods Rabbit corpses were stored at 5℃ , 15℃ , 25℃ , and 35℃ after execution, and 80~100μL vitreous humor was extracted from each eye of the rabbit in turn every 12 hours. The concentrations of K+ were examined by Modular DPPI automatic biochemistry analyzer. The Interpolation Functions were used to analyze the statistical relationship between PMI and K+ concentration under different temperature. Results In each animal group, K+ concentration increased with PMI. Equation was obtained after interpolation analysis on range of temperature 5℃ ~30℃ . The three-variable quintic surface equation was f(x,y)=-1.998e14+1.345e12x+5.902e13y+0.005585x2-4.509e11xy-3.876e12y2-0.0002868x3+0.003545x2y+4.406e10xy2-1.746e10y3+2.669e-6x4-1.568e-5x3y-0.0001771x2y2-1.64e9xy3+6.669e9y4-8.672e-9x5+4.467e-8x4y+2.354e-7x3y2+2.459e-6x2y3+2.05e7xy4-1.214e8y5(R2=0.9956), x stands for temperature, y stands for K+ concentration, f(x,y) stands for PMI. Conclusion The rule of K+ concentration changes at ambient temperature complied with three-variable quintic surface equation distribution. Measurement of interpolation function may be used for PMI estimation at different ambient temperature.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of Tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium(Gio) capsules combined with oxaliplatin in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer,and explore its effect on matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression in cancer tissues. Methods: Totally 120 patients with advanced gastric cancer were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, and both groups were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for 3 cycles as follows:the observation group was given Gio capsules and oxaliplatin,and the control group was given 5-fluorouracil combined with oxaliplatin. The short term efficacy,adverse reactions and ex-pression of MMP-9 in cancer tissue before and after the chemotherapy were observed in the two groups. Results:After the treatment, the objective response rate in the two groups had no significant difference(P>0.05);the clinical benefit rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05);the incidence of severe bone marrow suppression and liver and kid-ney dysfunction in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05);after the treatment,the pos-itive expression of MMP-9 in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:Gio capsules combined with oxaliplatin can improve the clinical benefit rate of the patients with advanced gastric cancer,and effectively re-duce the expression of MMP-9 in cancer tissue.

Gelatin microspheres were discussed as a scaffold material for bone tissue engineering, with the advantages of its porosity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and biosafety highlighted. This review discusses how bone regeneration is aided by the three fundamental components of bone tissue engineering-seed cells, bioactive substances, and scaffold materials-and how gelatin microspheres can be employed for in vitro seed cell cultivation to ensure efficient expansion. This review also points out that gelatin microspheres are advantageous as drug delivery systems because of their multifunctional nature, which slows drug release and improves overall effectiveness. Although gelatin microspheres are useful for bone tissue creation, the scaffolds that take into account their porous structure and mechanical characteristics might be difficult to be created. This review then discusses typical techniques for creating gelatin microspheres, their recent application in bone tissue engineering, as well as possible future research directions.
