3D-printing is widely used in regenerative medicine and is expected to achieve vaginal morphological restoration and true functional reconstruction. Mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (MSCs-Exos) were applyed in the regeneration of various tissues. The current study aimed to explore the effctive of MSCs-Exos in vaginal reconstruction.
METHODS:
In this work, hydrogel was designed using decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) and gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and silk fibroin (SF). The biological scaffolds were constructed using desktop-stereolithography.The physicochemical properties of the hydrogels were evaluated; Some experiments have been conducted to evaluate exosomes’ effect of promotion vaginal reconstruction and to explore the mechanism in this process.
RESULTS:
It was observed that the sustained release property of exosomes in the hydrogel both in vitro and in vitro.The results revealed that 3D scaffold encapsulating exosomes expressed significant effects on the vascularization and musule regeneration of the regenerative vagina tissue. Also, MSCs-Exos strongly promoted vascularization in the vaginal reconstruction of rats, which may through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
CONCLUSION
The use of exosome-hydrogel composites improved the epithelial regeneration of vaginal tissue, increased angiogenesis, and promoted smooth muscle tissue regeneration. 3D-printed, lumenal scaffold encapsulating exosomes might be used as a cell-free alternative treatment strategy for vaginal reconstruction.

BACKGROUND:
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a severe congenital disorder characterized by vaginal hypoplasia caused by dysplasia of the Müllerian duct. Patients with MRKH syndrome often require nonsurgical or surgical treatment to achieve satisfactory vaginal length and sexual outcomes. The extracellular matrix has been successfully used for vaginal reconstruction.
METHODS:
In this study, we developed a new biological material derived from porcine vagina (acellular vaginal matrix, AVM) to reconstruct the vagina in Bama miniature pigs. The histological characteristics and efficacy of acellularization of AVM were evaluated, and AVM was subsequently transplanted into Bama miniature pigs to reconstruct the vaginas.
RESULTS:
Macroscopic analysis showed that the neovaginas functioned well in all Bama miniature pigs with AVM implants. Histological analysis and electrophysiological evidence indicated that morphological and functional recovery was restored in normal vaginal tissues. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the neovaginas had mucosal folds characteristics of normal vagina. No significant differences were observed in the expression of CK14, HSP47, and a-actin between the neovaginas and normal vaginal tissues. However, the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) was significantly lower in the neovaginas than in normal vaginal tissues. In addition, AVM promoted the expression of b-catenin, c-Myc, and cyclin D1. These results suggest that AVM might promotes vaginal regeneration by activating the b-catenin/cMyc/cyclin D1 pathway.
CONCLUSION
This study reveals that porcine-derived AVM has potential application for vaginal regeneration.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between silent information regulator 2 homologue 3 (SIRT3) and mitochondrial function in mice with endotoxin-induced lung injury.Methods:Twenty clean-grade healthy adult male wild C57BL/6 (SIRT3 + /+ ) mice, 20 SIRT3 knockout (SIRT3 -/-) mice, weighing 20-25 g, aged 6-8 weeks, were studied.SIRT3 + /+ mice and SIRT3 -/- mice were divided into 4 groups ( n=5 each) according to the random number table method: blank control group (group C, group SIRT3 -/-C), endotoxin-induced lung injury group (group L, group SIRT3 -/-L), endotoxin-induced lung injury plus resveratrol group (group L+ R, group SIRT3 -/-L+ R), and resveratrol group (group R, group SIRT3 -/-R). Resveratrol 15 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected once a day for 7 consecutive days in L+ R, R, SIRT3 -/-L+ R and SIRT3 -/-R groups, while the equal volume of normal saline was injected in the rest groups.Lipopolysaccharid 15 mg/kg was injected via the tail vein to develop a mouse model of endotoxin-induced lung injury at 30 min after resveratrol injection on 7th day, in L+ R and SIRT3 -/-L+ R groups and at the corresponding time points in L and SIRT3 -/-L groups, while the equal volume of normal saline was injected in the other groups.Blood samples were collected from the orbital venous plexus at 12 h after injection of normal saline or lipopolysaccharid for determination of serum total oxidation state (TOS) and total antioxidant state (TAS) levels by the xylenol orange method and ABTS colorimetric method, and the oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated.After the mice were sacrificed, the lung tissues were taken for microscopic examination of the pathological changes which were scored and for determination of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) (by JC-1 method), cellular oxygen consumption rate (OCR) (by the specific fluorescent probe method), and expression of SIRT3 (by Western blot). Results:Compared with group C or group SIRT3 -/-C, the lung injury score, serum TOS concentration and OSI were significantly increased, TAS concentration, MMP and OCR were decreased, and SIRT3 expression was down-regulated in L, L+ R, SIRT3 -/-L and SIRT3 -/-L+ R groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group L, the lung injury score, serum TOS concentration and OSI were significantly decreased, TAS concentration, MMP and OCR were increased, and SIRT3 expression was up-regulated in group L+ R, and lung injury score, serum TOS concentration and OSI were significantly increased, TAS concentration, MMP and OCR were decreased, and SIRT3 expression was down-regulated in group SIRT3 -/-L ( P<0.05). Compared with group L+ R, the lung injury score, serum TOS concentration and OSI were significantly increased, the TAS concentration, MMP and OCR were decreased, and the expression of SIRT3 was down-regulated in group SIRT3 -/- L+ R ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the indicators mentioned above between group SIRT3 -/-L+ R and group SIRT3 -/-L ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Down-regulation of SIRT3 expression can lead to impaired mitochondrial function, which is involved in the pathophysiological mechanism of endotoxin-induced lung injury.

Objective:To describe the clinical features and analyze the prognostic factors of blastemaltype Wilms tumor. To explore the clinical risk factors affecting the prognosis of blastoma.Methods:Clinical data of 75 patients admitted to the surgery department of Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2008 to June 2020 who were confirmed to be blastemal-type Wilms tumor by postoperative pathology without preoperative chemotherapy. The patients' general information, clinical characteristics, inspection data, surgical methods and follow-up results were collected. The related factors which influences its prognosis were analyzed. Among the 75 patients, 45 cases (60.0%) were male and 30 cases (40.0%) were female. The diagnosis age was 6-144 m, mean age was 39.1 m. Left side: 38 cases (50.7%), right side: 37 cases (49.3%). The clinical manifestations were abdominal mass in 35 cases (46.7%), hematuria in 24 cases (32.0%), abdominal pain in 7 cases (9.3%) and physical examination in 9 cases (12.0%). There were Stage Ⅰ 30 cases, Stage Ⅱ 28 cases, Stage Ⅲ 15 cases, Stage Ⅳ 2 cases. There were preoperative tumor rupture in 5 cases, intraoperative tumor rupture in 2 cases. Clinical stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ were classified as early, while stage Ⅲ, Ⅳ were classified as late. According to COG protocol, stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients received EE4A, stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ patients received DD4A protocol and radiotherapy. The number of lymph nodes sampled during operation was more than 7 in 10 patients.Results:7 cases were tested for 1p16q. One case(stage Ⅱ) was absent at 1p/16q LOH, and chemotherapy was upgraded from EE4A to DD4A. After the recurrence of 1 case in clinical stage Ⅰ, the 1p/16q heterozygotic deletion test was performed, which was changed to M regimen chemotherapy. Only 1p lost in one case, and 1p/16q was negative in 4 cases, so the original chemotherapy regimen was maintained. A total of 67 patients were recruited to the study. The median follow-up time was 57 months. The 5-year relapse-free survival(RFS) rate was74.7%, and the 5-year overall survival(OS) rate was 88.0%. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that: advanced clinical stage ( HR=4.9, 95% CI 1.2-19.6, P=0.025), tumor volume ( HR=1.7, 95% CI 0.4-6.9, P=0.048), and tumor rupture ( HR=20.1, 95% CI 4.7-85.5, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for prognosis of blastoma. Gender, age, side profile, clinical manifestations, tumor embolism, and number of lymph nodes sampled had no significant influence on the survival rate of blastoma ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Advanced stage (Ⅲ-Ⅳ), tumor volume≥1 000 ml, tumor weight and tumor rupture were independent risk factors for relapse. Insufficient lymph node sampling and incomplete 1p16q, may be the reasons for the increased risk of local recurrence in low-stage patients due to the underestimated risk classification and insufficient treatment intensity.
