Forensic analysis of 44 cases caused death by aortic dissection rupture in Yunnan province / 中国法医学杂志

Objective Retrospectively analysis on death cases related with aortic dissection provides support for further forensic investigation on such cases. Methods 44 Cases on aortic dissection are collected from the Forensic Medical Center in Kunming Medical University from 2002to2017.Statistic anaylisis was applied to each case's general information,clinical stage,clinical manifestation,risk factors,pathological type,rupture state,and direct case of death. Results The results showed that aortic dissection occurs moslty in middle age male who ranges from 40 to 49 years old. Most cases were aute aortic dissection, and the death rate was the highest in winter and the lowest in spring. Furthermore, pain is shown to be the most common symptom. Atherosclerosis is a critical factor that contributes to the occurance of aortic dissection. In general, type A aortic dissection occurs more frequently than type B. The rupture, located in ascending aorta, often is in a transverse shape. Cardiac tamponade is the primary cause of death.Conclusion Definite initial symptoms arises before aortic dissection rupture and always show many high-risk factors. It is beneficial to forensic identification of the relation between aortic dissection and injury or medical behavior should be considered carefully.

The experimental study on repair of rat femoral condyle defect with peripheral blood mesenchymal stem cells combined with absorbable gelatin sponge-self assembling peptide / 实用医学杂志

Objective This study aimed to explore the effect of peripheral blood mesenchymal stem cells combined with porous absorbable gelatin sponge/self assembling peptide composite scaffolds on SD rat femoral con-dyle bone defect reconstruction and provide a new strategy for the repair of bone defects. Methods 30 female SD rats,8W age,were randomly divided into 3 groups,10 every group.The group A was blank control group,group B was porous absorbable gelatin sponge/self assembling peptide composite scaffold group,and group C was periph-eral blood mesenchymal stem cells combined with porous absorbable gelatin sponge/self assembling peptide compos-ite scaffold group. The effect of osteogenesis was observed by paraffin section,hematoxylin eosin staining,X-ray examination,and Micro-CT scanning in 3 dimensional reconstruction of femoral condyle defect. Results Imaging examination showed that the experimental group had better osteogenesis effect. Histological examination showed that a lot of new bone tissue was found in group C,while only a small amount of new bone was found in the group of A and B. Conclusions The experiment shows that peripheral blood mesenchymal stem cells as the seed cells for tissue engineering,combined with porous absorbable gelatin sponge-self assembling peptide has better ability to repair bone defects,and has good application prospect,which is worthy of further research.
