[Total arthroscopic internal drainage technique for the treatment of popliteal cyst].

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of total arthroscopic internal drainage and arthroscopic combined with posterior small incision in the treatment of popliteal cyst.

Methods: From January 2015 to January 2017, 60 patients with popliteal cyst were treated, including 29 males and 31 females, aged 30 to 65(47.8±2.

Intraocular pressure control of a novel glaucoma drainage device - and studies.

Aim: To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP) control of an artificial trabeculum drainage system (ATDS), a newly designed glaucoma drainage device, and postoperative complications in normal rabbit eyes.

Methods: Pressure drops in air and fluid of 30 ATDS were measured after being connected to a closed manometric system. Twenty of them were then chosen and implanted randomly into the eyes of 20 rabbits.

[Three-dimensional flow perfusion culture enhances proliferation of human fetal osteoblasts in large scaffold with controlled architecture].

Objective: To demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of custom designed perfusion bioreactor in conjunction with well-defined three-dimensional (3D) environment for enhanced proliferation and homogeneous distribution of human fetal osteoblasts in large scaffold in vitro.

Methods: Large-scale β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds with tightly controlled architectures were fabricated. And a custom designed perfusion bioreactor was developed.

A broadband and omnidirectional electromagnetic wave concentrator with gradient woodpile structure.

We present the first realized three-dimensional (3D) practical implementation of the so called "optical black hole" in microwave frequencies, an electromagnetic (EM) concentrator. The 3D EM wave concentrator was designed with non-resonant gradient index (GRIN) 3D woodpile photonic crystals (PCs) structure in metamaterial regime, and fabricated by Stereolithography (SL) process. Omnidirectional EM wave capture and absorbing ability of the device in a broad bandwidth (12GHz-15GHz) were validated by full-wave simulation and experiments.

Flow perfusion culture of human fetal bone cells in large beta-tricalcium phosphate scaffold with controlled architecture.

One unsolved problem in bone tissue engineering is how to enable the survival and proliferation of osteoblastic cells in large scaffolds. In this work, large beta-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds with tightly controlled channel architectures were fabricated and a custom-designed perfusion bioreactor was developed. Human fetal bone cells in third passage were seeded onto the scaffolds and cultured in static or flow perfusion conditions for up to 16 days.

Reconstruction of curved mandibular angle defects using a new internal transport distraction device: an experiment in goats.

A new internal distraction device, comprising a square-bodied bow, a transport plate, a traction mechanism, and two stabilisers, was developed to allow transportation of bone around an arc. Eight adult goats were studied. A curved mandibulectomy 3cm long was made on the mandibular angle.

[Construction of three-dimensional finite element model of human edentulous maxilla and cranial skeleton].

Objective: To develop an effective and feasible method to construct three-dimensional finite element model of the whole edentulous maxilla and cranial skeleton.

Methods: Based on three-dimensional computer aided design model which was constructed by multi-slices helical CT scanning data of a male's head in specialized software, three-dimensional finite element model of edentulous maxillary and cranial skeleton was established; the stresses distribution in maxilla was investigated under occlusal load with computer simulated a complete overdenture.

Results: The three-dimensional finite element model of edentulous maxilla and cranial skeleton had favorite similarity in geometry, the distributions of stresses in maxilla and the wall of maxillary sinus could be clearly observed.

[Fabrication of scaffold with controlled porous structure and flow perfusion culture in vitro].

3D Scaffolds with controlled porous structure were designed and fabricated by utilizing CAD and rapid prototyping techniques. A flow perfusion bioreactor, which allowed exposure of the culture cells to low levels of mechanical stimulation by fluid flow-induced shear stress, was developed in our lab. The scaffolds were pre-designed and the negative images of the designs were used to build the molds on a stereolithography (SL) apparatus with epoxy resins.

[A new custom-made artificial articular cartilage of femoral condyle based on rapid prototyping technique: a case report].

Objective: To design and manufacture a new custom-made artificial articular cartilage of femoral condyle based on rapid prototyping technique and explore a method to solve the necroses of allocartilage in hemi joint allotransplantation.

Methods: Design the new custom-made artificial articular cartilage of femoral condyle. The allograft and the patient distal femurs were scanned with Picker 6000 spiral computed tomography (CT) with 1.

[Reconstruction [correction to Reconstrction] of mandibular bone defects by using the techniques [correction to teachniques] of the reverse engineering and rapid prototyping].

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of designing and fabricating customized titanium bone substitutes to restore mandibular bone defects using reverse engineering (RE) and rapid prototyping (RP) techniques.

Methods: Titanium tray for mandibular defects were designed and fabricated through multi-step procedures of reverse engineering and rapid prototyping, then in operation it was filled with cancellous bone and fixed.

Results: The bone substitutes fabricated by this method had been successfully put into clinical use for maxillofacial surgery in 2 patients and got a satisfactory result.

Effect of recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor on angiogenesis during mandible fracture healing in rabbits.

Objective: To investigate the effect of recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF) on angiogenesis during mandible fracture healing in rabbit.

Methods: Fifty adult white rabbits were used for animal model and randomly divided into a control group (25 rabbits) and an experimental group (25 rabbits). The membranous complex of rhbFGF and bovine type I collagen was prepared and implanted into the rabbit mandible fracture site under periosteum.
