BACKGROUND:With the increasing of aging, the incidence and mortality of osteoporotic hip fracture wil rise. It is of great significance to study the pathogenesis and preventing method. At present, finite element analysis can be used to judge fracture, only for the distribution trend of fracture failure in the starting point or section view, but it cannot completely reflect actual situation of fracture. OBJECTIVE:To build the fracture model of the femoral neck fracture caused by fal ing-induced external force based on the finite element analysis LS-DYNA software, and to evaluate the effect of rupture. METHODS:CT image data of one case of elderly femoral neck fracture were col ected. Using Mimics software, region growth of the contralateral area, cavity fil ing, editing, rebuilding the contralateral proximal femur model were conducted. Data were imported in Hypermesh and LS-DYNA software for meshing, and defining material properties. The failure parameters and interfacial properties were set. The load and force boundary constraints simulating the fal ing were simulated. The model of femoral neck fracture was calculated. Rupture effect was evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The validity of contralateral proximal femur three-dimensional model was verified. Based on the finite element analysis software LS-DYNA, the femoral neck fracture model matched the actual fracture line to a degree of close to 83%. (2) Above results confirmed that based on the finite element analysis, LS-DYNA software can wel simulate the femoral neck fracture, which provides experimental basis to the exploration of femoral neck fracture classification mechanism caused by different fal ing-induced external forces.

BACKGROUND:Cartilage injury is stil one of the clinical problems difficult to be treated completely so far. Recently, the discovery of synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) has brought about the new hope to cartilage repair.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the process concerning SMSCs-based therapy for cartilage repair in the past few years, such as the characteristics of SMSCs, culture conditions, preclinical and clinical studies, and then to summarize the literatures published in recent years.
METHODS:A computed-based online search of PubMed and SpringerLink databases was performed using the key words of“synovial mesenchymal stem cells, cartilage repair”for literatures published from January 1993 to May 2013.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Final y, 37 articles were included. SMSCs have a greater proliferative capability, colony-forming potential and chondrogenic potential than other mesenchymal stem cells. The diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can influence the characteristics of SMSCs. Numerous articles have aimed at the studies of cellculture in vitro and celltransplantation in vivo. However, the process of SMSCs therapy is mostly at its preliminary stage. Reports on its unique characteristics, optimal culture conditions and the high-quality clinical studies are stil largely lacking. In a word, though further studies are needed, SMSCs appear to be a promising cellsource for cartilage repair in the future.

Objective To study the effects of matrine (MAT) on the apoptosis and the expression of PEG10 in human hepatocarcinoma cell line HepG2. Methods MTT assay was used to determine the proliferation-inhibition activity by MAT to HepG2 cell. JC-1 staining was prepared to detect the change of mitochondrial membrane potential in HepG2 cells after MAT was given. RT-PCR and immunocytochemical method for detecting the PEG10 gene and protein expression levels were used. Results MAT could inhibit the HepG2 cell proliferation above the concentration of 0.125 mg/mL (different from above-->MAT ≥ 0.1 g/L) and in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner(P<0.01). JC-1 staining and flow cytometry detection showed that MAT can significantly decrease the mitochondrial membrane potential of HepG2 cells (P < 0.01). The RT-PCR and immunocytochemical staining results showed that 0.5 and 2.0 mg/ml (different from Chinese) MAT could reduce PEG10 gene and protein expression obviously. Conclusion MAT could decrease the expression level of PEG10 gene and inhibited cell proliferation,change the mitochondrial membrane potential and induce HepG2 cell apoptosis.

BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely accepted by medical investigators due to their advantages including easy obtaining, minimal invasion, with infinite proliferation and multi-differential potential, and without immunological rejection in the autologous transplantation. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study is to isolate and purify rat bone marrow MSCs in vitro, so as to observe the effects of different concentrations of serum containing kidney-tonifying and blood-activating Chinese herbs on the in vitro proliferation of rat bone marrow MSCs.DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Hip Center, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.MATERIALS: Forty healthy male SD rats of SPF grade, weighing 170 to 180 g, were provided by the Laboratory Animal Center, Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The protocol was performed in accordance with ethics guidelines for the use and care of animals. The involved rats were divided into 4 groups by random digit table with 10 rats in each: normal control group, high-, middle-, and low-concentration groups. METHODS: This study was performed at the Laboratory Animal Center, Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January and March 2005. Rat bone marrow MSCs were isolated and purified by Percoll density gradient centrifugation, and cultured in vitro to establish rat bone marrow MSCs culture system. Rats in the high-, middle-, and low-concentration groups were intragastrically administrated with 4.4, 2.2 and 1.1 g/kg serum containing kidney-tonifying and blood-activating Chinese herbs, which equaled to 20, 10 and 5 times of adult dosage, respectively. Rats in the normal control group were intragastrically administrated with purified water for 1 week. One hour after the last administration, 6 mL blood was taken from abdominal aorta of each rat under the aseptic condition. Then, it was centrifuged at 2 000 r/min for 15 minutes, and meanwhile serum was collected. 10% rat serum containing kidney-tonifying and blood-activating Chinese herbs was added to the medium in the high-, middle-, and low-concentration groups, while 10% fetal bovine serum was added in the normal control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① MSCs growth status; ② MSCs morphology was observed by HE staining and Giemsa's staining; ③ MSCs antigen expression was detected by an immunocytochemical method; ④ Effects of different concentrations of serum containing kidney-tonifying and blood-activating Chinese herbs on MSCs growth.RESULTS: ①The primarily cultured bone marrow MSCs began to adhere to the wall 24 hours later and 80% of them reached the confluence 7 days later. ② MSCs took appearance in long shuttle shape or polygon. These cells were little. Nuclei were located in the middle part of cells or a little deviation. The ratio of nucleus to cytoplasm was a little high. ③CD44 expression was found in the cytoplasm of mononuclear cells, and colored blue. Partial MSCs expressed c-Kit. Their cytomorphology and phenotypic expression have the characteristics of MSCs. ④Three days after serum containing kidney-tonifying and blood-activating Chinese herbal medicine being added to high-, middle-, and low-concentration groups, the number of bone marrow MSCs was dose-dependently increased as compared with that in the normal control group. CONCLUSION: Serum containing kidney-tonifying and blood-activating Chinese herbs promotes the in vitro proliferation of bone marrow MSCs.
