Optimization of the formulation of a porcine fibrin patch / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To optimize the formulation of a porcine fibrin patch （abbreviated as “DBT”）. METHODS Based on single-factor tests， with the contents of fibrinogen， thrombin and collagen before freeze-drying as the factors， with the overall desirability （OD） value of adhesion strength， holding viscosity and water absorption as response value， the formulation of DBT was optimized by Box-Behnken-response surface methodology， and the verification tests were conducted. RESULTS According to the results of the single factor tests and Box-Behnken-response surface methodology， combined with the actual production， the optimal formulation of DBT was 6.5 mg/cm2 of fibrinogen， 8.0 IU/cm2 of thrombin and 5.6 mg/mL of collagen. The average OD value of 3 validation tests was 0.726 6 （RSD＝0.58%， n＝3）， and the relative error of which with the predicted value （0.733 0） was －0.87%. CONCLUSIONS The optimal formulation of DBT is stable and feasible.

Single-cell RNA Sequencing Reveals Sexually Dimorphic Transcriptome and Type 2 Diabetes Genes in Mouse Islet β Cells / 基因组蛋白质组与生物信息学报·英文版

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by the malfunction of pancreatic β cells. Susceptibility and pathogenesis of T2D can be affected by multiple factors, including sex differences. However, the mechanisms underlying sex differences in T2D susceptibility and pathogenesis remain unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we demonstrate the presence of sexually dimorphic transcriptomes in mouse β cells. Using a high-fat diet-induced T2D mouse model, we identified sex-dependent T2D altered genes, suggesting sex-based differences in the pathological mechanisms of T2D. Furthermore, based on islet transplantation experiments, we found that compared to mice with sex-matched islet transplants, sex-mismatched islet transplants in healthy mice showed down-regulation of genes involved in the longevity regulating pathway of β cells. Moreover, the diabetic mice with sex-mismatched islet transplants showed impaired glucose tolerance. These data suggest sexual dimorphism in T2D pathogenicity, indicating that sex should be considered when treating T2D. We hope that our findings could provide new insights for the development of precision medicine in T2D.

Study on the Hemostatic Effect of Porcine Fibrin Sealant Patch on Bleeding Wound of Liver in Rats and Gluteus Maximus in Heparinized Rabbits / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To study the hemostatic effect of porcine fibrin sealant patch (DBT) on bleeding wound of liver in rats and gluteus maximus in heparinized rabbits. METHODS:48 rats and 24 rabbits were randomly divided into sham operation group,operation control group (gauze hemostasis),medical collagen sponge group and DBT group. Except for sham operation group,animals in other groups were reduced for rat model with liver bleeding or heparinized rabbit model with gluteus maximus bleeding. The hemostatic time was recorded,bleeding amount was calculated;DBT degradation and wound adhesion in liver after 3,13 weeks were observed;re-bleeding rate of heparinized rabbits in medical collagen sponge group and DBT group were investi-gated. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,the hemostatic time and bleeding amount of animals in operation control group were significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with operation control group,the hemostatic time and bleeding amount of animals in DBT group and medical collagen sponge group were significantly reduced (P<0.01). After 3,13 weeks,different de-gree of adhesion appeared in the wound of rats in each group,while the adhesion scores had no statistical significances(P>0.05). After 13 weeks,liver margin of rats in administration groups was slightly blunt,but it basically had been restored to preoperative state,with good healing. DBT can be degraded and absorbed completely. The re-bleeding rate of rabbits in DBT group were33.3%,66.7% in medical collagen sponge group. CONCLU-SIONS:DBT has good hemostatic effect on fragile organs and the body with blood coagulation dysfunction,and can be de-graded and absorbed. Its effect is equivalent to medical colla-gen,while the adhesive strength is slightly better than the latter.

State-of-the-art and Development of Intelligent Knee Prosthesis (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

Intelligent prosthesis is going to be a research focus recently with the increment of the transfemoral amputees and the devel-opment of microelectronic technology, control technology and so on. As the fundamental part of the lower extremity prosthetics, the knee prostheses with high performance is still hard to design. This paper reviewed the development of the intelligent knee prostheses, classified the current available prostheses in the term of construction design, and discussed the drawback of their design and the trend of the further de-velopment.

CT Findings of Unusual Closed Retroperitoneal Trauma / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To analyse CT diagnosis of unusual closed retroperitoneal trauma so that to improve its diagnostic accuracy.Methods CT features of unusual closed retroperitoneal trauma confirmed by clinical data and surgery in 13 cases were analyzed.Results There were adrenal hematomas in 11 cases,among them,2 cases accompanied with renal arterial occlusion,appeared as renal arterial ruptured suddenly and "interface sign".The hematomas appeared as round,similar round or mass hyperdense shadows and in combination with periadrenal tissue injury;pancreatic rupture in 2 cases,appeared as linear area of low attenuation inside pancreas.Conclusion CT scan is an effective modality for diagnosing the unusual closed retroperitoneal trauma.Correct CT diagnosis is very important for the effective surgical treatment as well as reduction of severe complications and mortality of unusual closed retroperitoneal trauma.
