Origin and trend of the upper eyelid artery in the eyelid region of a skull model after blood reperfusion: An anatomical observation北大核心

BACKGROUND: Upper eyelid flap grafting-related vessels such as superficial temporal artery, supratrochlear artery, supraorbital artery trunk are reported. Upper eyelid artery dissection is becoming more and more important for the surgery on the eyelid, but there is a lack of anatomical analysis of upper eyelid artery. OBJECTIVE: To measure the anatomical position of the upper eyelid artery in the eyelid region, and to provide anatomical basis for adjacent flap grafting. METHODS: Twenty adult skull specimens were dissected, and a reference coordinate system was made based on the inner canthus connection for the X axis, and the center line for the Y axis. The red lactoprene was injected into the skull model via common carotid artery. The locations A-E of the upper eyelid artery in the eyelid area were measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The upper eyelid artery in the eyelid area was mainly from the supratrochlear artery and the supraorbital artery, generally paralleling to the X axis. The upper eyelid branch originated from the supratrochlear artery was located at the projection of the inner canthus, with a total length of 24.50 mm, and a diameter of 0.51 mm, extended to the outer canthus and the diameter of the vessel gradually reduced. The upper eyelid branch originated from the supraorbital artery was located at pupil and inner canthus junction 1/2 projection. The total length of the blood vessels was about 23-24.6 mm, and the diameter of the blood vessels was (0.55±0.05) mm. In the current study, we obtained the surface projecting of upper eyelid artery in the eyelid area by establishing the skull model of blood perfusion, which provides an anatomic basis for upper eyelid flap grafting. © 2018, Journal of Clinical Rehabilitative Tissue Engineering Research.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with acellular dermal matrix for repair of urethral injury北大核心

BACKGROUND: In recent years, the development of tissue engineering provides more choices for the repair of urethral injury. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with acellular dermal matrix in the repair of urethral injuries. METHODS: Passage 3 BMSCs from New Zealand white rabbits were inoculated on the acellular dermal matrix to construct tissue-engineered urethra grafts. Thirty-six New Zealand rabbits were randomized into three groups (n=12 per group). Experimental group was implanted with BMSCs-acellular dermal matrix complex at urethral injury. Control group was implanted with acellular dermal matrix material at urethral injury. Normal group had neither injury nor treatment. At postoperative 4, 8 and 12 weeks, the repaired urethral tissue was subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining. At postoperative 12 weeks, immunohistochemical staining and urodynamic study were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At postoperative 4 weeks, thin-layer epithelial regeneration was visible in the urethra defect area of the experimental group, and the continuity was better. The urethra mucosa of the control group was discontinuous. At postoperative 8-12 weeks, the urethral epithelial layer in the experimental group became thickened, exhibiting a good continuity with the normal urethral epithelium, thickened mucosa, and smooth and continuous urethral mucosa; the regenerated urethral mucosa of the control group exhibited good continuity, but less regenerated epithelial layers. At postoperative 12 weeks, immunohistochemical results showed the repaired urethra in the experimental group was positive for uroplakin illa, CK AE1/AE3, and α-smooth muscle actm. The maximum urethral pressure in the experimental group showed no significant difference before and after operation, while the postoperative pressure in the control group showed a significant increase (P < 0.05). Overall findings indicate that the combination of BMSCs and acellular dermal matrix has better efficacy than the acellular dermal matrix alone. © 2018, Journal of Clinical Rehabilitative Tissue Engineering Research.

Differential expression of microRNAs related to apoptosis in human osteoblasts induced by sodium fluoride北大核心

BACKGROUND: Long-term excessive intake of fluoride, especially through drinking water, can cause chronic fluorosis of bone. The disease can lead to bone damage and deformity, and is difficult to recover. Unfortunately, we have not developed a noninvasive or minimally invasive method for its early diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: To observe the expression of apoptosis-related miRNAs under the action of excessive fluorine in human osteoblasts. METHODS: The fluorine model was established in the human osteoblasts by cultured with 20 and 40 mg/L sodium fluoride for 24 and 48 hours, respectively. The expression levels of apoptosis-related miRNAs were determined by PCR array. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 24-hour treatment of sodium fluoride, 48 kinds of miRNAs were upregulated and 4 ones were down-regulated in the osteoblasts. After 48-hour treatment of sodium fluoride, 21 kinds of miRNAs were upregulated and 2 ones were down-regulated. It showed that nine up-regulated miRNAs and one down-regulated miRNA were same in two periods. The 10 miRNAs are selected for target gene analysis on bioinformatics software that refer to the effect of anti-apoptosis and pro-apoptosis, which is of great significance for the early identification of skeletal fluorosis. © 2018, Journal of Clinical Rehabilitative Tissue Engineering Research.

Research and application of the reamer-irrigator-aspirator北大核心

BACKGROUND: Large volume of bone can be harvested by the reamer-irrigation-aspirator (RIA), which can be used for autologous bone graft, because there are many stromal stem cells and a variety of osteogenesis factors in the harvested bone. OBJECTIVE: To introduce the application progress of the RIA. METHODS: PubMed database was retrieved by the first author for RIA-related articles published from January 2000 to May 2017 using the keyword of " reamer-irrigator-aspirator”. A total of 87 articles were searched initially and finally 38 articles met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with harvesting bone tissues from the iliac bone, the RIA can harvest more autologous bone tissues with more bone marrow stromal stem cells. Moreover, the osteogenic effect of the harvested autologous bone is better and there are fewer complications. Therefore, the RIA has been widely used as a method of harvesting non-structural autologous bone tissues. Removal of intramedullary lesions by the RIA is used in the treatment of long bone infection, osteomyelitis and bone tumors, as well as in the removal of intramedullary cement. RIA was originally used as a special reaming during intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fractures, which could reduce high pressure and high temperature so as to decrease the risks of fat embolism and osteonecrosis. To conclude, the RIA can achieve satisfactory outcomes and result in few complications, but the clinical use is still limited by high cost, frequent fluoroscopy, bleeding and limited indications, as well as risks for iatrogenic fractures and perforation. © 2018, Journal of Clinical Rehabilitative Tissue Engineering Research.

Biocompatibility of fully biodegradable polylactic acid and its copolymers: Present and future applications北大核心

BACKGROUND: Polylactic acid and its copolymers have been widely used in biomedical fields because of their good biocompatibility and biodegradability, which have become a hotspot in the research of biomaterials. OBJECTIVE: To review the biocompatibility of fully degradable polylactic acid and its copolymers. METHODS: A computer-based online retrieval of PubMed and CNKI was performed to search relevant papers published from 2006 to 2016, with the key words of " polylactide, polylactic acid, copolymer, biodegradability, biocompatibility, animal” in English and Chinese, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Polylactic acid and its copolymers as polyester compounds are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in the biomedical field because of their good biocompatibility mainly as drug delivery carriers and temporary implants. Moreover, their side effects in clinical application have attracted attentions. Polylactide copolymers can cause some adverse reactions when used in drug delivery systems, orthopedic and skin care, and other clinical medical fields. These copolymers are deemed to have no impact on the central nervous system, eyes, cardiovessels and other tissues and organs. They also have no virtually genotoxic and carcinogenic effects. Currently, the polylactide copolymer implant mainly results in local reactions in the surrounding tissues, and no systemic reactions have been found. © 2018, Journal of Clinical Rehabilitative Tissue Engineering Research.
