RESUMEN
Osteolysis at the tendon-bone interface can impair pullout strength during tendon-bone healing and lead to surgery failure, but the effects of clinical treatments are not satisfactory. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes have been used as potent and feasible natural nanocarriers for drug delivery and have been proven to enhance tendon-bone healing strength, indicating that MSC-derived exosomes could be a promising therapeutic strategy. In this study, we explored Scleraxis (Scx) dynamically expressed in PDGFRα(+) bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) during natural tendon-bone healing. Then, we investigated the role of PDGFRα(+) BMMSCs in tendon-bone healing after Scx overexpression as well as the underlying mechanisms. Our data demonstrated that Scx-overexpressing PDGFRα(+) BMMSCs (BMMSCScx) could efficiently inhibit peritunnel osteolysis and enhance tendon-bone healing strength by preventing osteoclastogenesis in an exosomes-dependent manner. Exosomal RNA-seq revealed that the abundance of a novel miRNA, miR-6924-5p, was highest among miRNAs. miR-6924-5p could directly inhibit osteoclast formation by binding to the 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTRs) of OCSTAMP and CXCL12. Inhibition of miR-6924-5p expression reversed the prevention of osteoclastogenic differentiation by BMMSCScx derived exosomes (BMMSCScx-exos). Local injection of BMMSCScx-exos or miR-6924-5p dramatically reduced osteoclast formation and improved tendon-bone healing strength. Furthermore, delivery of miR-6924-5p efficiently inhibited the osteoclastogenesis of human monocytes. In brief, our study demonstrates that BMMSCScx-exos or miR-6924-5p could serve as a potential therapy for the treatment of osteolysis during tendon-bone healing and improve the outcome.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To prepare and observe the physicochemical properties of scaffold materials of heterogeneous deproteinized tissue-engineered bone.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Deproteinized bone was made through a series of physicochemical treatments in pig ribs and analyzed with histological observation, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectrum, X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive analysis, Kjeldahl determination and mechanics analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Interstitial collagen fiber was positive and mucin was negative in deproteinized bone, but, both were positive in fresh bone. Deproteinized bone maintained natural pore network. Its pore size was 472.51 micromolar+/-7.02 micromolar and the porosity was 78.15%+/-6.45%. The results of infrared spectrum showed that collagen was present in deproteinized bone. Both fresh and deproteinized bone had curve of hydroxyapatite. The Ca/P ratios were 1.71+/-0.95 and 1.68+/-0.76 (P larger than 0.05), and the protein contents were 26.6%+/-2.23% and 19.1%+/-2.14% (P less than 0.05) in fresh and deproteinized bone, respectively. There was no significant difference of destruction load under compression and maximal destruction load between fresh and deproteinized bone (P larger than 0.05). The elastic modulus was higher in deproteinized bone than that in fresh bone (P less than 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Physicochemical properties and mechanic strength of deproteinized tissue-engineered bone meet the demands of ideal scaffold materials. But, its immunogenicity should be observed through further experiments for its clinical applications.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate Caspase-3 expression and its role in neuronal apoptosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The T13-L2 spinal cord of rats was injured by traction after the amplitude of P1-N1 wave, monitored by a cortical somatosensory evoked potential (CSEP) monitor, decreased to seventy percent of that before operation. Then rats were killed in 6 h, 1 d, 4 d, 7 d, 14 d and 21 d respectively after operation. Flow cytometer terminal deoxynucleotldyl transferease-mediated biotinylated deoxynuridine triphosphate nick end labeling (TUNEL), Caspase-3 activity assay and immunohistochemical method were applied to investigate Caspase-3 expression in the spinal cord tissue and to study neuronal apoptosis in rats.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After spinal cord injury, apoptotic cells detected by flow cytometry and TUNEL-positive cells were significantly more, and positive immunohistochemical staining of Caspase-3 and Caspase-3 activity were significantly higher in Group injury than in Groups control and laminectomy, respectively (P > 0.05, P > 0.01). Similar trend of changes was noticed in apoptotic cells, TUNEL-positive cells and positive immunohistochemical staining of Caspase-3, all of which reached their respective peak 7 days after operation. Caspase-3 activity reached its peak, however, 4 days postoperatively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Increased expression and activity of Caspase-3 protein in neurons after tractive spinal cord injury is the biochemical signal of early spinal cell apoptosis. It is of great significance for understanding the mechanism of spinal cord injury.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the influence of fluorescent protein expression on the proliferation of murine NIH3T3 cells, so as to provide a theoretical basis for cell tracing technology.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>NIH3T3 cells were cultured in vitro, and were randomly divided into control, pLEGFP-N1 (with transfection of pLEGFP-N1 retroviral vector), pEGFP-N1 (with transfection of pEGFP-N1 vector) and pDsRed2-C1 (with transfection of pDsRed2-C1 vector) groups. Then the cells were screened by G418 for 3 weeks. The changes in cell adhesive rate were observed and the population doubling times was determined by growth curve.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was obvious fluorescent protein expression in the transfected NIH3T3 cells after G418 selection, and the highest percentage of labeled NIH3T3 cells was found in pLEGFP-N1 group. The population doubling time in pDsRed2-C1 (40.3+/-0.7 h) , PEGFP-N1 (39.6 +/- 0.6 h) and pLEGFP-N1 (36.5 +/- 0.7 h) groups was evidently longer than that in control (27.9 +/- 0.6 h, P < 0.01), with high adhesive rate in each group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The expression of fluorescent protein exhibited some inhibitory effect on the proliferation of NIH3T3 cells in vitro. Since the inhibitory effect by retroviral vector was weaker compared with eukaryotic vector, it should be the first choice for fluorescent protein labeling during cell transplantation.</p>

Since partial-thickness tears of the rotator cuff were described well by Codman in 1934, they have been extensively discussed in all kinds of literatures. Partial-thickness tears of the rotator cuff are now considered to play a more significant role than previously in inducing patients' disability. Partial-thickness cuff tears deserve more clinical attention. Both accurate diagnosis and proper surgical repair are very essential. The cognition of partial-thickness tears has been deepened in the last decades. In this paper we will review the etiology, classification and clinical evaluation of partial-thickness tears of the rotator cuff.
