ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of poly-amino acid/nano-hydroxyapatite/calcium sulfate (PHC) Cage in lumbar interbody fusion of the goat. MethodsEighteen mature female goats (weighing 29-33 kg) were divided into 3 groups randomly: PHC Cage group (group A), titanium Cage group (group B), and ilium group (group C). A left extraperitoneal approach was used to establish the animal model of discectomy and interbody fusion with Cage or ilium. The general situation was observed for 24 weeks after operation. X-ray films were taken to measure disc space height (DSH) before operation and at 4, 12, and 24 weeks after operation. CT three dimensional reconstuction was performed at 24 weeks after operation to evaluate the interbody fusion according to modified Brantigan grading. The specimens of L3, 4 were harvested for mechanical test, histological, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation at 24 weeks after operation. ResultsAll goats survived to the end of experiment. DSH at 4 weeks after operation increased when compared with preoperative one in each group, and then decreased;DSH was significantly lower at 12 and 24 weeks after operation than preoperative one in group C (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in DSH among 3 groups at preoperation and 4 weeks after operation (P>0.05);at 12 and 24 weeks after operation, DSH of groups A and B was significantly higher than that of group C (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between groups A and B (P>0.05). CT three dimensional reconstuction showed that bony fusion was obtained in all goats of groups A and C, and in 3 goats of group B;according to modified Brantigan grading, the scores of groups A and C were significantlly higher than that of group B (P<0.05), but no significant difference between groups A and C (P>0.05). The biomechanical test showed that there was no significant difference in range of motion between group A and group B (P>0.05), which were significantly lower than that of group C (P<0.05). Microscopy and SEM observations showed that the interface between the Cage and vertebral body in group A was compact without obvious gap, and most conjunctive region was filled with osseous tissue;the interface was filled with soft tissue, and the connection was slack with obvious gap in some region in group B;the interface connection was compact, most region was filled with osseous tissue in group C. ConclusionThe interbody fusion with PHC Cage is effective in goat lumbar interbody fusion model. The interface connection is compact between the Cage and the host bone followed by micro-degradation of PHC Cage, but the long-term degradation need further observation.
Objective To explore the effects of heat-inactivated Lactobacillus gasseri TMC0356 on liver lipid metabolism in rats with metabolic syndrome (MS) and its possible mechanism. Methods Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected. Rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, including control group, MS model group and three TMC0356 test groups (low-, medium- and high-dose groups). The rats in each group were fed with different diets for 7 days, and the liver was dissected and removed after 15 weeks. The mRNA and protein expression levels of peroxisome hyperbioactive receptor-α (PPAR-α), sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (REBP-1c), fatty acid synthase (FAS) and carnitine lipoacyltransferase-1 (CPT-1) genes in liver were detected. Results There was no significant difference in the mRNA expression of PPAR-α, SREBP-1c or CPT-1 among the five groups (P>0.05). The mRNA expression of FAS in low-dose TMC0356 test group was lower than that in MS model group (P=0.011), medium-dose TMC0356 test group (P=0.042) and high-dose TMC0356 test group (P=0.009). There was no significant difference in the expression of FAS mRNA between other groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the protein expression of PPAR-α, SREBP-1c or FAS among the five groups (P>0.05). The protein expression of CPT-1 in low-dose TMC0356 test group was higher than that in control group (P=0.033) and high-dose TMC0356 test group (P=0.043). There was no significant difference in the protein expression of CPT-1 between the other groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Heat-inactivated Lactobacillus gasseri TMC0356 may improve the symptoms of metabolic disorder in rats by suppressing appetite, improving insulin resistance, and downregulating the expression of key fat metabolism genes such as FAS and SREBP-1c.

ObjectiveTo study the preparation and properties of the hyaluronic acid (HA)/α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (α-CSH)/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) material (hereinafter referred to as composite material). Methods Firstly, the α-CSH was prepared from calcium sulfate dihydrate by hydrothermal method, and the β-TCP was prepared by wet reaction of soluble calcium salt and phosphate. Secondly, the α-CSH and β-TCP were mixed in different proportions (10∶0, 9∶1, 8∶2, 7∶3, 5∶5, and 3∶7), and then mixed with HA solutions with concentrations of 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%, respectively, at a liquid-solid ratio of 0.30 and 0.35 respectively to prepare HA/α-CSH/ β-TCP composite material. The α-CSH/β-TCP composite material prepared with α-CSH, β-TCP, and deionized water was used as the control. The composite material was analyzed by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction analysis, initial/final setting time, degradation, compressive strength, dispersion, injectability, and cytotoxicity. ResultsThe HA/α-CSH/β-TCP composite material was prepared successfully. The composite material has rough surface, densely packed irregular block particles and strip particles, and microporous structures, with the pore size mainly between 5 and 15 μm. When the content of β-TCP increased, the initial/final setting time of composite material increased, the degradation rate decreased, and the compressive strength showed a trend of first increasing and then weakening; there were significant differences between the composite materials with different α-CSH/β-TCP proportion (P<0.05). Adding HA improved the injectable property of the composite material, and it showed an increasing trend with the increase of concentration (P<0.05), but it has no obvious effect on the setting time of composite material (P>0.05). The cytotoxicity level of HA/α-CSH/β-TCP composite material ranged from 0 to 1, without cytotoxicity. Conclusion The HA/α-CSH/β-TCP composite materials have good biocompatibility. Theoretically, it can meet the clinical needs of bone defect repairing, and may be a new artificial bone material with potential clinical application prospect.
Objective To investigate the mechanism of vascular stromal fraction (SVF) at the early stage after aspirated fat transplantation. Methods Fat was harvested from 5 cases of women undergoing abdominal liposuction operation, and SVF was isolated. Aspirated fat with (group B) or without (group A) SVF was injected subcutaneously into the back of nude mice, and the grafts were harvested at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. Graft wet weight was measured; and immunohistochemical method (CD31) was performed and the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) were qnantified by Western blot assay. Results The wet weight of transplanted adipose tissue showed an increasing tendency in groups A and B with time, and no significant difference was found between groups A and B (P gt; 0.05). At 1 and 3 days after transplantation, no CD31 positive cells was seen in 2 groups; the CD31 positive cells of group B were significantly more than those of group A at 5 and 7 days (P lt; 0.05), and the CD31 positive cells at 7 days were significantly more than those at 5 days in 2 groups (P lt; 0.05). Western blot test showed that VEGF expression reached peak at 3 days , then decreased gradually; the expression of VEGF protein in group B was significantly higher than that in group A at 1, 3, and 5 days (P lt; 0.05). The expression of HGF protein in groups A and B remained at a high level within 5 days, but it tended to decrease at 7 days, which was significantly higher in group B than that in group A (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion SVF can enhance angiogenesis by secretion of growth factors at the early stage after aspirated fat transplantation.

Compared with SO group, the plasma ghrelin level decreased and the GLP-1 level increased in the SJB group and the SG group, meanwhile the SJB group significantly decreased level of plasma ghrelin and elevated level of plasma GLP-1 as compared with the SG group on week 8 after operation(Plt;0.05). ConclusionThe data demonstrate that SJB could represent an effective way of losing weight by interfering with food intake and obesity related hormone levels.
Objectives To systematically review the association between TM6SF2 (transmembrane six superfamily member 2- rs58592426) polymorphism and liver lesion and the severity of liver fibrosis. Methods We electronically searched databases including PubMed, CNKI, WanFang Data and CBM from inception to January 27, 2016, to collect cross-sectional studies about the association between the TM6SF2 polymorphism and the liver lesion and the severity of liver fibrosis. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0 software. Results A total of 23 studies including 96 594 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: TM6SF2 polymorphism was associated with increased risk of the severity of liver fibrosis, the levels of TG, TC and LDL-C (all P values < 0.05). Carriers of the T allele showed lower levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C. Carriers of the T allele revealed higher levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) when compared with homozygous EE. Conclusion TM6SF2 polymorphism is associated with lipid traits in different population, the variants shows lower levels of lipid traits in blood serum and increases the risk of the severity of liver fibrosis and liver lesion.
Objective To investigate the effect of chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) on the expression of growth associated protein 43 (GAP-43) and gl ial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. Methods A total of 150 adult female SD rats, weighing 250-300 g, were randomly divided into ChABC treatment group (group A), sal ine treatment group (group B), and sham operation group (group C) with 50 rats in each group. In groups A and B, the rats were made the SCI models and were treated by subarachnoid injection of ChABC and sal ine; in group C, the rats were not treated as a control. At 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days after operation, the Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) score system was used toevaluate the motion function, and immunofluorescent histochemical staining was used to observe the expressions of GAP-43 and GFAP. Results At different time points, the BBB scores of groups A and B were significantly lower than those of group C (P lt; 0.05); there was no significant difference in BBB score between groups A and B after 1, 3, and 7 days of operation (P gt; 0.05), but the BBB score of group A was significantly higher than that of group B after 14 and 21 days of operation (P lt; 0.01). At different time points, the GAP-43 and GFAP positive neurons of groups A and B were significantly higher than those of group C (P lt; 0.05). After 14 and 21 days of operation, the GAP-43 positive neurons of group A were more than those of group B (P lt; 0.01). After 7, 14, and 21 days of operation, the GFAP positive neurons of group A were significantly less than those of group B (P lt; 0.01). Conclusion ChABC can degrade gl ial scar, improve the microenvironment of the injured region and enhance the expression of GAP-43, which promotes axonal growth and extension.
