RESUMO
The progress of research on the the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) wound healing demonstrates that the synovial tissue in the knee joint plays a very important role in the healing process of injured ACL. Therefore, the molecular response mechanisms of lysyl oxidase (LOX) and matrix metalloproteina (MMP) in normal/injured ACL fibroblast cells could be considered to perform the major analysis function of injured ACL healing mechanism. The mRNA expressions of LOXs and MMPs and the activity expressions of MMP-2 in ACL fibroblasts co-cultured with synovial cells were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR and zymography. The results showed that co-culture could regulate the mRNA expressions of LOXs and MMPs in the ACL fibroblasts cells. These results suggest that the differential expressions of LOXs and MMP-1, 2, 3 in co-cultured ACL indicate that interaction crosstalk do exist between ACL cells and synovial cells and provide a theoretical basis for subsequent exploration of the mechanisms and treatment of ACL injury and repair.

Microfluidics deals with the manipulation of fluidics in the structure with dimensions of micrometers or nanometers. As an emerging field, microfluidics has numerous advantages, such as controllable fluid flow and reduced reagents consumption. Recently, microfluidic has been applied into the area of cell transfection, providing opportunities to investigate cell transfection process on microscale. This review summarizes recent technical development of cell transfection based on microfluidics, including transfeceted microarray, transfecetion established in miniaturization flowing space, microdrops, microinjection and microfluidic electroporation. The factors that affect the transfection efficiency and improvement approaches are also discussed.

Microfluidic chip is a novel technology platform, in which microchannels are fabricated in different materials. The ability to precisely control the microflows makes it possible to mimic the microenvironment of cells in physiological or pathological states, which provides many distinct advantages for cell research. In this paper are reviewed the design and fabrication of microfluidic chip, the application of microfluidic chip in cell culture and cell researches; the enormous advantages of microfluidic chips in precise experimental control of the cellular microenvironment are introduced.

Objective: To investigate six mineral element contents of rice bran and milled rice from three color rice cultivars (white rice, red rice, black rice). Methods: Select 36 typical cultivars and determine Se, Zn, Fe, Ca, Mn, Cu contents in their rice bran and milled rice with AFS-2201 atomic fluorescent spectrometer and AA-680 atomic absorption spectrometer. Results: 1. The six mineral element contents of rice bran were 2.58, 3.35, 10.04, 4.58, 12.79 and 6.59 times as those of milled rice respectively. 2. The Ca content of black milled rice was significantly higher than that of white and red milled rice. The Mn content in rice bran of white rice was significantly higher than those of black and red rice. Other mineral element contents were not significantly different. 3. For rice bran and milled rice of different cultivars, the contents of each mineral element in three color rices varied greatly. Conclusions: 1. The content of six minerals in rice bran was 5.66 times on average as that in milled rice in all cultivars of three color rice. 2. Eight cultivars of the highest content of each mineral in rice bran and milled rice were recommended for commercial use and human consumption.
