Bioengineered muscle constructs and tissue-based therapy for cardiac disease

Bioengineering of contractile muscle tissues and organs for disease treatment is currently in the preclinical experimental stage of development. Cell biology over the last several decades has primarily focused on breaking down tissues and cells to smaller and smaller components to understand their functioning at the molecular level. We are just beginning to understand how to reassemble these components back into larger functional units. The merging of the fields of traditional engineering, biomaterials, cell biology, and computer science will lead to the ex vivo engineering tissues and organs for many cardiovascular applications in the future. For pediatric cardiology, bioengineered contractile tissues may serve as force generating cardiac patches, heart valve papillary muscle substitutes, or as living therapeutic protein delivery ‘devices’ when bioengineered from genetically engineered muscle cells.     

B超在眼后段异物测量中的准确性分析

目的：评估B超在不同性质眼后段异物大小测量中的准确性。

方法：回顾性分析2016-01/12在我院被诊断为眼后段异物的患者13例13眼。异物在取出后用直尺测量实际大小,并同术前B超所测数值进行比较,同时计算相关系数(B超测量值/实际大小)。为了排除手术操作损伤异物对真实大小测量的影响,选定长度为5mm的不同材质物体(分别为金属、玻璃和木质)放入直径约20～30mm的水囊中模拟眼内异物,同样进行以上的测量,测量重复4次。

结果：选取13眼内异物均经玻璃体手术完整取出,其中金属磁性异物12眼,玻璃异物1眼。12个金属异物术前B超所测长轴和实际长度的平均值分别为3.65±1.30和2.45±0.94mm,所有测量值均大于实际值(P=0.016)。相关系数的平均值为1.49。体外实验中,金属、玻璃和木质三种不同性质异物B超的平均测量值分别为6.76±0.15、6.55±0.04和6.02±0.07mm,相关系数分别为1.35、1.31和1.20。

结论：B超用于眼后段异物测量时,其所测量值会大于真实大小,尤其是对于金属和玻璃异物。因此在术中制作异物取出切口时需要进行考虑。

Pilot study on efficacy of reduced cathartic bowel preparation with polyethylene glycol and bisacodyl

AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of reduced cathartic bowel preparation with 2 L polyethylene glycol(PEG)-4000 electrolyte solution and 10 mg bisacodyl enteric-coated tablets for computed tomographic colonography(CTC).METHODS:Sixty subjects who gave informed consent were randomly assigned to study group A,study group B or the control group.On the day prior to CTC,subjects in study group A were given 20 mL 40% wt/vol barium sulfate suspension before 3 mealtimes,60 mL 60% diatrizoate meglumine diluted in 250 mL water after supper,and 10 mg bisacodyl enteric-coated tablets 1 h before oral administration of 2 L PEG-4000 electrolyte solution.Subjects in study group B were treated identically to those in study group A,with the exception of bisacodyl which was given 1 h after oral PEG-4000.Subjects in the control group were managed using the same strategy as the subjects in study group A,but without administration of bisacodyl.Residual stool and fluid scores,the attenuation value of residual fluid,and discomfort during bowel preparation in the three groups were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:The mean scores for residual stool and fluid in study group A were lower than those in study group B,but the differences were not statistically significant.Subjects in study group A showed greater stool and fluid cleansing ability than the subjects in study group B.The mean scores for residual stool and fluid in study groups A and B were lower than those in the control group,and were significantly different.There was no significant difference in the mean attenuation value of residual fluid between study group A,study group B and the control group.The total discomfort index during bowel preparation was 46,45 and 45 in the three groups,respectively,with no significant difference.CONCLUSION:Administration of 10 mg bisacodyl enteric-coated tablets prior to or after oral administration of 2 L PEG-4000 electrolyte solution enhances stool and fluid cleansing ability,and has no impact on the attenuation value of residual fluid or the discomfor     

Notch信号途径对缺氧/复氧乳鼠心肌细胞的保护作用

目的:观察缺氧/复氧(H/R)后Notch信号途径相关分子的变化及阻断Notch信号途径对在H/R条件下乳鼠心肌细胞凋亡的影响。方法:将乳鼠心肌细胞分为常氧组和H/R组,每组再分为3组,即对照组、二甲基亚砜(DMSO)组及抑制Notch信号途径的γ分泌酶抑制剂(GSI)组。分别用实时PCR和Western blot检测Notch信号途径相关分子mRNA及其蛋白表达的水平。用原位缺口末端标记法(TUNEL)染色观察心肌细胞凋亡。用荧光探针DCFH-DA检测心肌细胞内活性氧簇(ROS)水平的变化。结果:H/R后,Notch信号途径相关分子的mRNA及其蛋白的水平、ROS水平及心肌细胞的凋亡与DMSO组相比均显著增加(P0.01)。加入GSI后,对Notch信号途径上游的配基及受体的水平没有显著的影响,但对其下游的转录因子Hes1却可以显著抑制其表达,此时ROS的水平和心肌细胞凋亡进一步增加。结论:Notch信号途径在H/R后反应性上调可能对心肌细胞具有保护作用,该作用可能与抑制ROS的水平有关。
