Following the peritendon was removed by means of microsurgical technique, the tenocyte was isolated from the human embryonic tendons by digesting it with trypsin and collagenase. These cells were all stored in frozen condition until they were cultured by F12 culture fluid added with 20% FBS to the 15th generation.These cells were able to grow adhering to the wall and stop growing with contact inhibition. The time of cellsgroup duplication was 4 days, which was similar to the peak time of its mitosis. The number of its chromosome group 2n=46 was 87.5-91.0%. The optimal conditions for tendon cell culture in vitro were investigated, and it was found that after they were reaminated and subcultured the frozen storage didn’t influence their growth, morphology, genetic characteristics. In our research we detected the content generation cells and found the cultured human embryonic tenocyte had same ability never changed with the cells subcultured. We also disscussed the future of tenocyte-a biomaterial in the field of artificial implant.

Objective To study whether the porcine endothelial cells (PECs) lines transfected by HLA-G1 can alter the lysis mediated by human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and natural killer cell 92(NK-92). Methods By use of liposomes pack, the pcDNA3.0 eukaryotic expression vector carrying HLA-G1 was transfected into PECs. Using indirect immunofluorescence and RT-PCR assays, the HLA-G1 expression in PECs was detected. The alteration of the lysis mediated by PBMC and NK-92 was detected by51Cr-release assays. Results HLA-G1 expression could be detected in PECs after transfection of HLA-G1 at the levels of protein andRNA. It also could be found that the survival rate of transfected PECs was muchhigher than that of non-transfected PECs, when both of them faced the lysismediated by human PBMC and NK-92.After transfecting the expression of HLA-G1 could be found in the transfected PECs and the lysis mediated by PBMC and NK-92 to PECs decreased obviously (Plt;0.05). Conclusion The PECs- transfected by HLAG1 can decrease the NK lysis, so that it may provide us a new thought to inhibit the xeno-cell-rejection.
The specimens were obtained from 7 fibrous capsules two years after mammoplasty with silicone prosthesis, and were examined by electron spin resonance (ESR) andmicroscope. The result showed that a marked quantities of oxygen free radical existed in the capsules and that the main pathological change was the infiltration of massive inflammatory cells and deposition of collagen. It was suggested that the fibrous capsule formation was concerned with the oxygen free radical. The origin of the oxygen free radical in mammoplasty with slicone was also discussed.

ObjectiveTo determine if the anti-apoptosis agent can improve the protective effect of human ovarian tissue with novel vitrification method.
MethodsHuman ovarian cortical tissues were collected from ten patients treated between October 2012 and August 2013. The samples obtained from each patient were divided into two groups:control (the novel immersed vitrification) and experimental group (the novel immersed vitrification supplemented with vitamin C). The preservation effects in the two groups were compared by ultrastructure using electronic microscopy, and apoptosis was assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-medicated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining.
ResultsThe proportion of normal ultrastructure of oocytes and granulosa cells in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The proportion of TUNEL-positive primordial follicles in the experimental group was 21.6% (49/227) and the proportion of TUNEL-positive primordial follicles in the control group was 38.6% (91/236), with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.001). The proportion of TUNEL-positive stromal cells in the experimental group was (21.33±3.41)% and the proportion of TUNEL-positive stromal cells in the control group was (33.46±3.09)%, also with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.001).
ConclusionAnti-apoptosis agents can improve the preservation of primordial follicles and stromal cells by inhibiting of apoptosis. It may be a method worthy of trying in order to improve the protective effect of human ovarian tissue vitrification.

ObjectiveTo study the infiltration situation of breast cancer surface skin, and explore the characteristics of infiltration of breast cancer surface skin at the molecular level.
MethodsNested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction technique was used to detect the expressions of human mammaglobin(hMAM)mRNA in 15 cases of hyperplasia of mammary gland tissues, 15 cases of breast fibroadenoma tissues, and 60 cases of breast cancer tissues and their corresponding tumor surface skins. The relationship of the hMAM mRNA expression in the surface skins of breast cancer tissue to its clinicopathologic characteristics was analyzed.
ResultsThe hMAM mRNA positive expressions in the breast fibroadenoma tissues, hyperplasia of mammary gland tissues, and breast cancer tissues were 40.00%(6/15), 53.33%(8/15), and 83.33%(50/60), respectively, which in the breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in the breast fibroadenoma tissues or hyperplasia of mammary gland tissues(P < 0.05). There was no hMAM mRNA positive expression in the surface skin of fibroadenoma or hyperplasia of mammary gland tissues, but there was 3(5.00%)cases of the hMAM mRNA positive expressions in the breast cancer surface skin. The hMAM mRNA positive expression in the breast cancer surface skin was not related with the patient age, tumor diameter, and tumor staging(P > 0.05), but was related with axillary lymph nodes metastasis and distance from tumor to nipple less than 4 cm(P < 0.05).
ConclusionsThe hMAM mRNA highly expresses in breast cancer tissue and it has a certain value in the diagnosis of infiltration of breast cancer surface skin. The patients with axillary lymph node metastasis and distance from tumor to nipple less than 4 cm are more susceptible to infiltration of breast cancer surface skin.
