[Study on influencing factors in efficiency of introducing gene into human keratinocyte (KC)].

Objective: To observe the effect of plasmids in different size and gene transfection protocol on efficiency of introducing gene into human KC.

Methods: Four plasmids in different size, inclu-ding pSUPER-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), pEGFP-N2, pHSER-green fluorescent protein (GFP) and ploxP-EGFP, were transfected into immortal human KC line (HaCaT) and human embryo kid-ney cell line (293FT) separately following transfection protocols of liposome (LTP), cation polymerizer (CPTP), electroporation combined with nucleus transfection agent (ETP) and lentivirus. 293FT was used as control.

[Clone screening and interference efficiency of seed cells with CCL20 gene knockdown for tissue-engineered skin].

Objective: To screen stable cell clones of CCL20 gene knockdown and assess their interference effects, recombinant lentivirus vectors with CCL20 gene specific shRNA were applied to infect human immortal keratinocyte line (HaCaT).

Methods: The three pHSER-CCL20-shRNA-GFP vectors (pHCG-1 and pHCG-2 were CCL20 gene specific, and pHCG-3 was used as mismatch control) have been previously constructed. The virus packaging cell line 293FT was transfected with these vectors by using CaCl2 methods to produce lentiviral particles.

[Ectopic expression of keratin 19 and integrin beta1 during wound healing process after microskin grafting in rats].

Objective: To observe the characteristics of keratin 19 and integrin beta1 expressions in the wound after microskin grafting , and to investigate the healing mechanism.

Methods: Full layer skin defects were created in twenty Sprague-Dawley rats and they were divided into two groups, i.e.

[Prolongation of the survival of skin allografts by intravenous injection of neuraminidase-treated donor bone marrow cells in rats].

Objective: To optimize the best concentration of neuraminidase (Neu) that enhances the migration of neuraminidase (Neu)-treated donor bone marrow cells (dBMCs) to the liver, and observe the influence of short-term cyclosporin A(CsA) application combined with intravenous injection (i.v.) of Ne treated dBMCs on the survival of skin allografts.

[Study on the optimal ratio of autoskin and alloskin during mixed microskin grafting].

Objective: To investigate the influence of different amount of allogeneic microskin in mixed grafting with certain quantity of autologous microskin on wound healing in rats. Methods Male Wistar rats served as alloskin donor rats. Forty female SD rats with full thickness skin defect were enrolled in the study, and they were randomly divided into four groups, i.

[Influence of mixed grafting of autologous and allogeneic microskin on burn wound healing in rats].

Objective: To observe the influence of mixed grafting of autologous and allogeneic microskin on burn wound healing.

Methods: Autologous microskin grafting (expansion rate 5:1) was employed as control. Autologous microskin mixed with the allogeneic microskin with the thickness of 0.
