Three-dimensional (3D)-printed biodegradable polymer scaffolds are at the forefront of personalized constructs for bone tissue engineering. However, it remains challenging to create a biological microenvironment for bone growth. Herein, we developed a novel yet feasible approach to facilitate biomimetic mineralization via self-adaptive nanotopography, which overcomes difficulties in the surface biofunctionalization of 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds.

Objective: To understand the epidemic characteristics and viral antibody level among healthy people of Japanese B encephalitis (JE) in Henan province in 2010.
Methods: A total of 433 selected JE cases in Henan province in 2010 were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological method. Xinyang and Luoyang were selected as survey sites in 2010.

Objective: To analyze the prevalence characteristics and influence factors of Japanese encephalitis (JE) neutralizing antibody in healthy people.
Methods: Xinyang and Luoyang is the two cities in Henan Province. In 2010, healthy people of these two cities were selected by random sampling method to eight age groups: less than one year old, 1 -2 years old, 3 -4, 5 -6, 7 -14, 15 -19, 20 -59,and above 60 years old, their blood specimens were collected in May before JE infection and in November after JE infection, then followed with epidemiological investigation for JE neutralizing antibody by MCPENT.
