[Comparative study on repair of full-thickness burn wound with different artificial dermal stent in pigs].

Objective: To compare differences of angiogenesis among collagen- chitosan, collagen-sulfonated carboxymethyl chitosan porous scaffolds and acellular dermal matrix after these three different scaffolds with silicone membrane were transplanted on the wounds of full thickness burn, and the wound repair of different scaffolds with epidermis grafting on.

Methods: Angiogenesis in different dermal scaffolds, the wound surface and epidermis survival were observed in 1, 2, and 3 weeks after the three different scaffolds were respectively transplanted on wounds of full thickness burn with debridement in 6 Bama miniature pigs (total 18 pigs in 3 groups). At the same time, CD34 positive signals (neo-forming microvessels) were detected by immunohistochemical staining.

[Differences of wound contraction and apoptosis in full-thickness burn wounds repaired with different artificial dermal stent in pigs].

Objective: To investigate the roles and differences of angiogenesis of different dermal scaffolds on wound contraction and apoptosis during full-thickness burn wound repair.

Methods: Wounds were observed at different time after the collagen-sulfonated carboxymethyl chitosan porous scaffold or collagen-chitosan porous scaffold or acellular dermal matrix were respectively transplanted on wounds of full thickness burn with debridement in Bama miniature pigs. At the same time, vessels and myo-fibroblasts expressing α-smooth muscle action(α-SMA) and apoptosis in wounds of different time were detected in situ by immunohistochemical staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate-biotin nick end labeling.

[Proliferation of the mesenchymal stem cells in a delayed fat flap: an experimental study in rabbits].

Objective: To investigate the possibility to enhance the proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) in a delayed fat flap in rabbits.

Methods: A delayed fat flap was formed in one side of inguinal region of a rabbit. 21 days after operation, the fat tissues at the delayed flaps and at the unoperated side were harvested and digested with 0.

[Mechanisms and effects of biosynthesis and apoptosis in repair of full-thickness skin defect with collagen-chitosan dermal stent].

Objective: To investigate biosynthetic and apoptotic mechanisms in repair of full thickness skin defect with collagen-chitosan porous scaffold transplantation, and to determinate differences between wound repair with the scaffold transplantation and scar healing without the scaffold transplantation.

Methods: The full thickness skin defects were made on 10 Bama miniature pigs and the bilayer dermal equivalent (BDE) composed of collagen-chitosan porous scaffold and silicone membrane was transplanted on wounds. Surfaces of wounds were observed at 1, 2, and 3 weeks after the BDE transplantation, and so were done the wound repairs after epidermis had been grafted for 2 weeks on surface of the scaffold which had been transplanted on skin defect wounds for 2 weeks.

[Study on repair of full-thickness skin defect with collagen-chitosan dermal stent in pigs].

Objective: To investigate angiogenesis of collagen-chitosan porous scaffold, and to study survive of skin grafts on the scaffold after bilayer dermal equivalent (BDE) was transplanted on wounds with full thickness skin defects.

Methods: The full thickness skin defects were made on 10 Bama miniature pigs and the BDE composed of collagen-chitosan porous scaffold and silicone membrane was transplanted on wound. Angiogenesis in dermal equivalent, wound healing, and healing and survive of skin grafts on dermal equivalent were observed in 1, 2, and 3 weeks after the BDE transplantation.

[Cordyceps sinensis polysaccharide enhances apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced by triptolide].

Objective: To investigate the effects of polysaccharide fraction of Cordyceps sinensis (PSCS) on triptolide (TPL)-induced apoptosis in the HL-60 cells and the involved molecular mechanism.

Methods: The cultured leukemia HL-60 cells were divided into three groups: control group, TPL group (cells were treated with 5 ng/ml TPL only), and PSCS+TPL cells group (cells treated with 5 ng/ml TPL and 100 microg/ml or 200 microg/ml PSCS for 18 h). Cell viability was tested by MTT assay and apoptotic cells were quantitatively measured by flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI double stain.

[Experimental study of increasing effect of the fat flap tissue after delay operation on its free graft survival volume and duration].

Objective: To observe the effects of the fat flap tissues after delay operation on free fat-graft survival rate and duration.

Methods: The delay operation of fat flaps was performed in the inguinal region of a rabbit. Expression of VEGF was assayed using Elisa method after 12 hours of flap delay.

[Characteristics of genesis and development of peritoneal adhesion by different causes: experiment with rats].

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of genesis and development of peritoneal adhesion by different causes.

Methods: 236 rats underwent laparotomy with their vermiform processes lifted up and were randomly divided into 5 groups: Group A (control group), with the vermiform process exposed to air for 5 min, Group B, with the vermiform process smeared with talcum powder; Group C, with the vermiform process scraped by scalpel; Group D, with the tip of vermiform process stabbed by needle so as to squeeze the contents of intestine to cause infection; and Group E, with the artery of vermiform process ligated. Then the abdominal incision was sutured.
