		                        			The dura mater is a double-layer tough membrane tissue located between the surface of the brain and the inner surface of the skull that supports and protects the brain tissue. The phenomenon of dural defects caused by tumor resection, inflammation destruction, and craniotomies is becoming more common clinically. Therefore, the development of effective dural repair materials can not only reduce the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid and the occurrence of epilepsy complications but also promote the recovery of the dural defect to its normal physiological structure. With the continuous development of modern medicine, many biomaterials have been developed for dural defect repair. At present, the most promising and most researched biomaterials are synthetic polymer materials and natural polymer materials. Synthetic polymer materials have been extensively studied by domestic and foreign scholars due to their stable performance, low foreign body infection, and easy mass production advantages. Natural polymer materials are the most promising biomaterials because of their extensive sources, excellent biocompatibility, and biodegradability advantages. This article summarizes the research progress based on synthetic polymer materials and natural polymer materials in dural repair materials. In this review paper, the application progress of synthetic polymer materials and natural polymer materials in dural membrane repair was reviewed.

		                        			Objective:To evaluate the biocompatibility of collagen suture (CS) and collagen biofilm (CB) preliminarily.Methods:The pyrogenic contaminants test was used to analyze the pyrogen in CS and CB. The skin stimulation and intradermal stimulation tests were used to evaluate the stimulation effects of CS and CB to the skin. The hemolytic test was used to evaluate the hemolytic effect of CS and CB. The muscle implantation experiment was used to evaluate the stimulation and toxicity of CS and CB.Results:The results of pyrogenic contaminants test show that the temperature increment of rabbits in each group is lower than 0.6 ℃, and the total temperature increment is lower than 1.4 ℃ indicating that the two materials meet the requirements of pyrogenic examination and the pyrogenic contaminants test is qualified. The results of skin stimulation test and intradermal stimulation test of collagen suture and collagen biofilms were negative indicating that the two materials have no skin irritation. The hemolysis rates of collagen suture and collagen biofilm were 2.943% and 4.127% respectively (all P<0.05) indicating that the two materials will not cause hemolysis. The muscle was tolerated well and the tissue response was not serious after two biomaterials were embedded, which was reduced over time gradually. Conclusions:Both the collagen suture and collagen biofilm have good biocompatibility.

		                        			【Objective】 To study the metabolism and morphology changes of platelets in vitro using traditional Chinese medicine named Qingkailing injection as the additive solution, and to explore the viability of Qingkailing in the extension of platelet storage. 【Methods】 Apheresis platelets, adding 1% final concentration of Qingkailing injection, were taken as experiment groups, and sampled on 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 and 14 days(6 time points)of storage. Apheresis platelets without adding Qingkailing injection were taken as the control, and sampled on 1, 3 and 5 days(3 time points)of storage. The platelet count, morphology scores, biochemical parameters, pH and response rate of hypotonic shock during agitated storage(22 ℃) were tested. 【Results】 1) No significant change in platelet count was noticed in both experimental group(within 14 days) and the control(within 5 days)(P>0.05). The MPV and PDW of both groups increased at any sampling time within 5 days(P<0.05). 2) The morphology score of experimental groups and the control all decreased within the storage period(P<0.05), but its decrease of the control was greater than that of the experimental groups, especially on day 8(P<0.05). 3)Glucose, lactate dehydrogenase, lactate, Na+, and K+ values increased or decreased in varying degrees(P<0.05), while Cl- value stayed almost the same during 14 days(P>0.05). Glucose, lactate dehydrogenase, lactate and Na+ value changed significantly in the control within 5 days(P<0.05), while K+ and Cl- value did not(P>0.05). Within 5-day storage, the glucose consumption, lactate dehydrogenase and lactate generation in the control were significantly greater than those in experimental groups(P<0.05), but the added value of Na+, K+ and Cl- showed no significant difference(P>0.05). 4) pH value, relative to the baseline of day 1, decreased in both groups within 5 days, and its decreasing trend was significant in the control (P<0.05), but not in the experimental group(P>0.05). No significant difference was noticed in the response rate of hypotonic shock in experimental groups within 8 days, while significant decrease was noticed in the control within 5days(P<0.05). The response rate of hypotonic shock in experimental groups were significantly higher than that in the control on day 3 and day 5(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The comparison of apheresis platelets, stored in vitro, in terms of platelet count, morphology scores, biochemical parameters, pH and response rate of hypotonic shock showed that platelets, adding 1% final concentration of Qingkailing injection, could prolong the platelet storage to at least 10 days in vitro.

		                        			【Objective】 To study the feasibility of whole blood thromboelastogram (WB-TEG) and its correlative kit for plasma thromboelastogram (P-TEG) detection and the characteristics of P-TEG in healthy subjects. 【Methods】 17 healthy volunteers were detected by WB-TEG instrument and its correlative kit, and the results were compared with those by P-TEG. The P-TEG characteristics of 17 healthy volunteers were analyzed. Three groups (7 cases/group)of plasma samples with different platelet (Plt) count and the other three groups of plasma(7, 6 and 4 cases, respectively) with different fibrinogen(Fib) concentration were tested for P-TEG. The effects of Plt and Fib on P-TEG detection were observed. 【Results】 There was no significant difference in R and MA value (P>0.05)as WB-TEG was compared with P-TEG in healthy subjects, while in K(min) (1.71±0.47 vs 1.07±0.45), A(°) (66.1±5.41 vs 75.59±5.77), and CI value (0.9±1.8 vs 2.52±2.58)(all P <0.05). Various parameters of healthy individuals were basically within the range of 95% CI of WB-TEG, but there were significant diffferences in K, A and CI value(P<0.05). When Plt count (×1011/L) was≥2.5 in plasma, the MA value of P-TEG was significantly extended than that of normal individuals(P<0.05); when Plt count (×1011/L) was 6.0 ~12.0, the MA and CI value of P-TEG significantly decreased(P<0.05). When Fib(g/L) was 6.4~6.91 in plasma, the R and K value of P-TEG were prolonged, but A, MA and CI value all decreased(P <0.05); when Fib(g/L) <1, the A and MA value significantly decreased(P<0.05), and K and CI value could not be detected. 【Conclusion】 The WB-TEG and its correlative kit can be used in P-TEG detection, and corresponding reference values of TEG parameters should be established in combination with the conditions of laboratories.

		                        			Objective To verify the feasibility of applying hydrothermal synthesis for preparing oyster hydroxyapatite(HA) and to develop a preparation method of oyster HA porous material for bone repair.Methods Hydrothermal synthesis was applied for preparing oyster HA,and the reaction condition was 220 ℃ for 6 h.Then,the prepared oyster HA was used as the raw material for porous scaffold preparation by sponge-soaking and sintering,successively.The porosity and compressive strength of the scaffold were adjusted by controlling the soaking time and absorbed HA slurry of the sponges.Results Hydrothermal synthesis was an effective method for preparing oyster HA.When the volume of the sponge cube was 1 cm3,the material absorbed by one to three times sponge-soaking were 0.184 8 g,0.318 1 g and 0.426 1 g,respectively,the corresponding porosity were 91.5%,82.9% and 78.5%,and the compressive strength were 1.06 MPa,3.99 MPa and 8.49 MPa.Conclusion The oyster shell powder can be effectively converted into HA under the hydrothermal reaction condition of 220 ℃ for 6 h.The preparation of HA porous bone repair material by sponge-soaking method can obtain ideal porosity and mechanical strength.However,in this preparation process,the number of sponge-soaking and the weight of the absorbed HA slurry should be exactly controlled in order to obtain desired properties.

		                        			Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of photoselective green laser vaporization of bladder tumor (PVBT). Methods A total of 522 patients with bladder tumor were enrolled in present study from January 2010 to May 2015, including 405 cases of non muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and 117 cases of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). All of patients were treated with PVBT and intravesical instillation of epirubicin. Patients with MIBC received intravenous chemotherapy (kisi-hama and cisplatin). Results The hospitalization time was (7.32±1.28) days, the operation time was (27.08±5.36) min, and the indwelling urinary catheter was (2.42±0.34) days for patients in NMIBC group. During the follow-up period (12-60 months), 38 cases (9.4%) relapsed, of which 3 cases underwent radical cystectomy, and other 35 cases underwent PVBT again. All 405 patients were alive at the end of follow-ups. The hospitalization time was(26.18 ± 1.92) days, the operation time was (38.32 ± 6.54) min, and the time of indwelling urinary catheter was (2.72 ± 0.85) days for patients of MIBC group. During the follow-up period (12-60 months), 19 cases (16.2%) relapsed. Among them, 4 patients underwent radical cystectomy, and other 15 cases underwent PVBT. Six patients died from distant organ metastasis (including 2 cases of pulmonary metastasis and 4 cases of bone metastasis), and other 111 patients survived. Conclusion PVBT is safe and effective in the clinical application, especially for NMIBC and MIBC patients who are unable or unwilling to undergo radical cystectomy.

		                        			The joint is an important athletic organ,and has special structure,i.e.no blood supply in the mature articular cartilage.Hence,once articular cartilage is damaged and is difficult to self-repair.Nowadays,there are several clinical methods for articular cartilage injury,such as micro-fracture,transplant of articular cartilage,replacement of articular cartilage and cartilage tissue engineering.But the repairing effects of these methods are unsatisfactory.Growth factors are biologically active substances that are synthesized by cells in vivo and can accelerate cell growth,promote cell proliferation and induce cell migration etc.There are many growth factors participate in the development of cartilage,such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF),bone morphogenetic protein(BMP),insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and so on.Some research showed that the addition of exogenous growth factor in articular cartilage repair can effectively promote the repair of articular cartilage injury.In this paper,the main growth factors used for articular cartilage injury repair were reviewed,and the functions of these factors in the development and the repair of articular cartilage were discussed.The problems of growth factors in the application of articular cartilage repair were analyzed.
