Objective To evaluate the effect of the plasma treated PLGA nerve conduits seeded BMSCs on repairing SD rat sciatic nerve defects. Methods BMSCs were acquired from 30 newborn SD rats. After ampl ified and passaged for 3 times, PLGA nerve conduits were prepared and some of them were treated with plasma. A 1-cm-length sciatic nerve defect wasmade in 30 4-week-old SD rats, then they were randomly divided into 3 groups for three different nerve defects reconstruction methods (n=10). In the experimental group, defect was repaired by plasma treatment and PGLA nerve conduits seeded with BMSCs; in the control group, by normal PLGA nerve conduits seeded with BMSCs; and in the autologous group, by autologous nerve. At 6 weeks after the surgery, the dynamic walking pattern was recorded and the sciatic function index (SFI) was calculated; the electrophysiological test was taken; the gastrocnemius wet weight recovery rate was calculated; and the image analysis of regenerated nerve was made. Results All rats survived after the surgery and l ived to the end of the experiment. At 6 weeks after the surgery, the dynamic walking pattern of the experimental group and autologous group was better than that of the control group. The SFI value of the experimental, control and autologous groups was —51.02 ± 6.54, —58.73 ± 7.87 and —48.73 ± 3.95, respectively, showing statistically significant differences among the experimental group, control group and autologous group (P lt; 0.05). The results of the motor nerve conduction velocity and wave ampl itude showed that there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group (P lt; 0.05), and between the control group and the autologous group (Plt; 0.01); but no significant difference between the experimental group and autologous group(Pgt; 0.05); The gastrocnemius wet weight recovery rate of the experimental, control and autologous groups was 56.13% ± 4.27%, 43.14% ± 6.52%, 59.47% ± 3.85%, respectively; showing statistically significant differences among experimental group, control group and autologous group (P lt; 0.05). The density, diameter of regenerated nerve fiber as well as neural sheath thickness of the experimental group were all higher than those of the control group (P lt; 0.05) and lower than those of the autologous nerve group (P lt; 0.05); there was significant difference between the control group and the autologous group (P lt; 0.01). Conclusion Plasma treated PLGA nerve conduits seeded with BMSCs can effectively repair sciatic nerve defects and provide a new strategy for the development of tissue engineered nerve to repair the peripheral nerve defects.

Methods Between April 2008 and April 2009, Gyrus TUEVRP was performed on 124 patients with obstructive BPH whose mean prostatic weight was (62.3±21.7) g. The hyperplasia prostate glands were retrogradely dissected and enucleated along surgical capsule to the bladder neck by sharp and blunt dissection combination of the resectoscope tip or loop. Simultaneously, the blood supply of the gland was clamped. The changes of such indexes as operating time, perioperative blood loss, collected prostatic specimen weight, postoperative catheterization time, hospitalization time, prostatic specific antigen (PSA), post voiding residual volume (PVR), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), international prostatic symptom score (IPSS), and quality of life (QOL) were assessed. Results All surgeries were successfully carried out with an average operation time of (48.1±19.4) minutes ranged from 25 to 175 minutes. The mean collected prostatic specimen weight was (57.6±19.6) g ranged from 20.2 to 125.7 g. The blood loss was ranged from 45 to 350 ml, averaging at (86.2±20.7) mL during the operation. Blood transfusion was needed in only one case. Blood loss and operation time were increased and prolonged in accordance with the increase of prostatic volume and weight. The postoperative catheterization time was ranged from 2 to 5 days, averaging at 3.1±1.6. The mean hospitalization time was (5.8±1.4) days ranged from 5 to 8 days. All patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months. Qmax, PVR, IPSS and QOL-score six months after operation were significantly improved compared with those before operation (Plt;0.05). There were three cases of external urethral stricture, and they were treated with urethral dilatation successfully. Two cases of urinary incontinence recovered 1 and 6 months later, respectively, by traditional treatment. There were no cases of permanent urinary incontinence, reoperation for hemostasis, operative death, or transurethral resection syndrome. Conclusion TUEVRP is safe and clinically efficacious in the treatment of BPH, and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To objectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of plasmakinetic enucleation for prostate (PKEP) vs plasmakinetic resection for prostate (PKRP) in treating benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Methods Such databases as PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMbase, the ISI Web of Knowledge databases, VIP, CNKI, CBM and Wanfang were searched from their establishment to March 2011 for collecting the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about PKEP vs PKRP for the treatment of BPH, and the references of those RCTs were also searched by hand. After study selection, assessment and data extraction conducted by two reviewers independently, meta-analyses were performed by using the RevMan 5.1 software. The level of evidence was assessed by using the GRADE system. Results Eight studies involving 991 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that: a) safety indicator: compared with the PKRP, PKEP had shorter operation time (SMD=1.07, 95%CI 0.19 to 1.94, P=0.02), less intraoperative bleeding (SMD=2.06, 95%CI 1.42 to 2.69, Plt;0.01), much quantity of resectable prostate (SMD= –0.91, 95%CI –1.33 to –0.48, Plt;0.000 1), less intraoperative perforation (RR=4.48, 95%CI 1.43 to 14.02, P=0.01), shorter catheterization time (SMD=1.98, 95%CI 0.39 to 3.57, P=0.01), shorter bladder irrigation time (SMD=3.49, 95%CI 0.51 to 6.47, P=0.02) and shorter hospital stay (SMD=0.89, 95%CI 0.64 to 1.13, Plt;0.01), but there was no significant difference in total postoperative complications (RR=0.82, 95%CI 0.54 to 1.24, P=0.35); and b) efficacy indicator: compared with the PKRP, the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was lower after 3 months, the Quality Of Life (QOL) was higher after 3 months, and the improvement of residual urine volume (RUV) was better after 6 months; but other efficacy indicators had no significant difference between the two groups (Pgt;0.05). Based on GRADE system, all the evidence was at level C and weak recommendation (2C). Conclusion The current evidence indicates that PKEP is similar to PKRP in the treating effect, but it resects the proliferated prostate more cleanly with shorter operation time, lesser bleeding and more safety than PKRP; for the poor quality of the original studies, a prudent choice is suggested; and more high-quality, large-sample studies are need.
OBJECTIVE: To modify the surface of poly(D,L-lactide) film by anhydrous ammonia gaseous plasma treatment. METHODS: The changes of contact angles were measured and surface energy were calculated. Mouse 3T3 fibroblast cells were cultured on plasma modified and control poly(D,L-lactide) films. RESULTS: It was found that the hydrophilicity and surface energy of the materials have been increased after plasma treatment. Cell culture results showed that ammonia plasma treatment could promote the cell attachment and cells growth. After 4 days culture, the cells on the plasma treated films were 2-folds quantitatively compared with that of the control films. CONCLUSION: Ammonia plasma treatment can improve the cell affinity to poly(D,L-lactide).
Objective To prepare silver-containing hydroxyapatite coating (hydroxyapatite/Ag, HA/Ag) and investigate its antibacterial property and biocompatibil ity in vitro. Methods Vacuum plasma spraying technique was adopted to prepare HA/Ag coating on titanium alloy substrate (3% Ag). After incubating the HA/Ag and the HA coating under staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa suspensions of 2% tryptic soy broth (TBS) medium for 2, 4 and 7 days, respectively, the biofilm on the coatings was examined by confocal laser scanning microscope, and the bacterial density and viable bacterial percentage of bacterial biofilm were calculated. Meanwhile, the micro-morphology of bacterial biofilm was observed by SEM, the cytotoxicity was detected via MTT and the biocompatibil ity of biofilm was evaluated by acute aemolysis test. Results Compared with HA coating, the bacterial biofilm’s thickness on the surface of HA/Ag coating witnessed no significant difference at 2 days after culture (Pgt; 0.05), but decreased obviously at 4 and 7 days after culture (P lt; 0.01). The bacterial density of the biofilm increased with time, but there was no significant difference between two coatings (P gt; 0.05) at 2, 4 and 7 days after culture. The viable bacterial percentage of the biofilms on the surface of HA/Ag coating decreased obviously compared with that of HA coating at 2, 4 and 7 days after cultureP lt; 0.01). The MTT notified the cytotoxic grade of both coatings was zero. The acute haemolysis assay showed that the hemolytic rate of HA/Ag and HA coating was 0.19% and 0.12%, respectively. Conclusion With good biocompatibil ity, significant antibacterial property against staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa, no obvious cytotoxicity and no erythrocyte destruction, the vacuum plasma sprayed HA/Ag coating is a promising candidate for the surface of orthopedic metal implants to improve their osseointegration and antibacterial property.
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of coblation-assisted adenotonsillectomy for treatment of children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods From June 2007 to May 2008, after monitoring polysomnography (PSG) confirmed 82 cases of OSAHS in children aged 3 to 14 years, with an average age of 6.2 years old, the ENT CoblatorII surgical instrument made by Arthrocare in the US and one-time EVac 70 T amp; A segment was used under complete anesthesia to remove tonsils and(or)adenoid ablation. Polysomnography monitoring was used preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively to determine the therapeutic effect. Results No significant complications occurred among the children both during the operation and postoperatively. Patients were followed for 6 months, and a satisfactory effect was achieved. The lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2) improved significantly (Plt;0.001); the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) decreased significantly after the operation (Plt;0.001). In accordance with OSAHS diagnosis and efficacy evaluation standards, 45 patients were cured after 6 months, 21 patients showed an excellent effect, 10 patients showed a good effect, six patients had no effect, and the total effective rate was 92.6%. Conclusion Low-temperature coblation-assisted adenotonsillectomy has good clinical efficacy with a shortened surgical time, less intraoperative and postoperative blood loss, less postoperative pain, few complications, and a simple operation procedure. It can effectively expand the nasopharynx, oropharynx ventilation cross-sectional area, lift the upper airway obstruction, and can be especially suitable for surgical treatment of children with OSAHS.
To explore the effects of plasma jet (PJ) and plasma activated water (PAW) on the sterilization of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) and compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods, so as to provide a basis for plasma treatment of dental caries and to enrich the treatment means of dental caries, an atmospheric pressure plasma excitation system was built, and the effects of PJ and PAW on the sterilization rate of S. mutans and the changes of temperature and pH during treatment were studied under different excitation voltage (Ue) and different excitation time (te). The results showed that in the PJ treatment, the difference in the survival rate of S. mutans between the treatment group and the control group was statistically significant (P = 0.007, d=2.66) when Ue = 7 kV and te = 60 s, and complete sterilization was achieved at Ue = 8 kV and te = 120 s in the PJ treatment. In contrast, in the PAW treatment, the difference in the survival rate of S. mutans between the treatment group and the control group was statistically significant (P = 0.029, d = 1.71) when Ue = 7 kV and te = 30 s, and complete sterilization was achieved with PAW treatment when Ue = 9 kV and te = 60 s. Results of the monitoring of temperature and pH showed that the maximum temperature rise during PJ and PAW treatment did not exceed 4.3 °C, while the pH value after PAW treatment would drop to a minimum of 3.02. In summary, the optimal sterilization parameters for PJ were Ue=8 kV and 90 s < te ≤ 120 s, while the optimal sterilization parameters for PAW were Ue = 9 kV and 30 s<te ≤ 60 s. Both treatment methods achieved non-thermal sterilization of S. mutans, where PJ required only a smaller Ue to achieve complete sterilization, while at pH < 4.7, PAW only required a shorter te to achieve complete sterilization, but its acidic environment could cause some chemical damage to the teeth. This study can provide some reference value for plasma treatment of dental caries.
