An experiment study of the guided bone regeneration

BMP is one of important factors in the pathophysiology of bone regeneration. Fifteen New Zealand rabbits were used in this experiment. We studied the distribution and effectiveness of endogenic BMP on a 10 mm bone defect of radius, by utilizing immunohistochemistry of BMP and quantitative computer imaging system. On the 3rd day, death of osteocytes and BMP positive blood clot were observed. The mesenchymal cells from periosteum and endoosteum, and osteoblast were also BMP positive. By quantitative study, we found there was a gradient distribution of BMP in bone defect, i.e, the value of BMP decreased gradually along the distance from the fracture ends. The maximal value of BMP was noted at the 1st week postoperation. In conclusion, two sources of endogenic BMP were found, one was from the absorption of necrotic tissue of fracture ends, the other was from the secretion of osteogenic mesenchymal cells during the process of bone regeneration. Nonunion of bone defect was caused in part by the gradient distribution of BMP. Accordingly, the concept of effective quantity of endogenic BMP was drawn rosen. It might be a new method in the treatment of bone defect by increasing the concentration of endogenic BMP and improving its distribution.     

Microbial degradation of di-n butyl phthalate

Microorganisms capable of degrading di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) were isolated. The characteristics of DBP biodegradation by immobilized and free cells were investigated. The experimental results showed that the rate of DBP degradation of immobilized cells was higher than that of free cells.

Endothelin-1 concentrations and optimisation of arterial oxygenation and venous admixture by selective pulmonary artery infusion of prostaglandin E1 during thoracotomy

PURPOSE: To demonstrate a superselective intraarterial chemotherapy as a therapeutic alternative in the treatment of previously treated recurrent lymph node metastases in breast cancer. METHODS: 14 patients with recurrent lymph node metastases in cases of breast cancer were presented to be treated by intraarterial chemotherapy of 25 mg mitoxantrone/m2 over a period of 24 hours. In two patients with superclavicular lymph node involvement an intraarterial therapy could not be carried out because of a vascular connection to the anterior spinal artery. Involved lymph stations could be reached in superselective technique by side branches of the subclavian artery. Heparin coverage was given intravenously. Every patient had had surgery, radiation, systemic chemo- and hormonal therapy before and was now graded as inoperable. Therapy indication was given by local tumour-induced symptoms. RESULTS: In the 12 treated cases complete remission was seen in three, partial remission in 4, a steady state in two and a progressive disease in three. There were no complications or severe side effects. CONCLUSION: Intraarterial chemotherapy is an effective and well tolerated treatment in recurrent lymph node metastases in cases of breast cancer even if conventional therapies can no longer be used.

Quantitative NMR spectroscopy by matrix pencil methods

The matrix pencil (MP) method, based on the singular value decomposition (SVD), is applied to quantitative NMR spectroscopy. Its relationship to other SVD-based methods is also presented. Simulations and applications are given to demonstrate the capability of superior performance.©1993 John Wiley & Sons Inc     

Myofibroblast accumulation induced by transforming growth factor-beta is involved in the pathogenesis of nasal polyps

Myofibroblasts that express alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) are detected in many chronic inflammatory diseases. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a potent inducer of myofibroblast accumulation in tissues. In this study, scattered myofibroblasts and TGF-beta were quantified and localized in nasal polyps (NPs) and normal nasal mucosa (NM). NPs were sampled in 16 patients during ethmoidectomy and NM was obtained from 10 control subjects during rhinoplasty. alpha-SMA and TGF-beta were detected using immunohistochemistry and the numbers of labeled cells were quantified (alpha-SMA and TGF-beta indices) and compared between NPs and NM. In eight NPs, in which the pedicle was preserved, alpha-SMA and TGF-beta were evaluated and compared in the pedicle, central, and tip areas. Finally, TGF-beta expression was compared between low (zone 1), moderate (zone 2), and high (zone 3) zones of alpha-SMA positivity. alpha-SMA and TGF-beta indices were significantly higher in NPs than in NM. In the eight selected NPs, alpha-SMA-positive cells were significantly more abundant in the pedicle than in the central and tip areas, whereas TGF-beta-positive cells were significantly more numerous in the pedicle than in the tip area. The number of TGF-beta-positive cells was significantly higher in zone 3 than in zone 1 of alpha-SMA positivity. Myofibroblasts, which are abundant in NPs but rare in NM, could be involved in the growth of NPs by inducing extracellular matrix accumulation. The local development of myofibroblasts in NPs could be controlled by TGF-beta, locally produced by inflammatory cells.
