METHODS A literature search was performed, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, to review any studies using such techniques in humans. Our initial search retrieved 297 articles listed on MEDLINE, Google Scholar, CINHal and EMBASE. From these studies, 15 studies meeting the eligibility criteria were selected and formed the basis of our systematic review.RESULTS The study designs, surgical techniques and outcome measures varied between the studies. Although all studies reported improvements in patient outcome measures, this was not necessarily correlated with magnetic resonance imaging findings. Although there were many additional procedures performed, when AMIC was performed in isolation, the results tended to peak at 24 mo before declining. CONCLUSION Although short-term studies suggest improved patient reported outcomes with a variety of scaffolds, surgical techniques and rehabilitation regimes, the literature remains equivocal on whether the defect size and location, and patient factors affect the outcome. Patientbenefit appears to be maintained in the short-tomedium term but more high level studies with extensive and robust validated outcome measures should be conducted to evaluate the medium-and long-term effect of the AMIC procedure.展开更多

Line defects are created by the re- placement of PE or PM constituent layer. The defect modes existing in the first gap are considered and the influences on defect modes of the material properties and volume fraction of the defect layers, the type of incident waves, the location of defect layer and the number of structural layers are discussed in detail. Numerical results indicate that defect modes are the most obvious when the defect layers are inserted in the middle of the perfect PCs; the types of incidence wave and material properties of the defect layers have important effects on the numbers, the location of frequencies and the peaks of defect modes, and the defect modes are strongly de- pendent on volume fraction of the defect layers. We hope this paper will be found useful for the design of PE/PM acoustic filters or acoustic transducer with PCs structures.展开更多

Bilateral mandible defects sized 1.0 cm ×0. 6 cm×0. 3 cm of fifteen rabbits were implanted with β- TCP ( control group ) and β- TCPI BMG( experimental group ) respectively. The specimens were harvested at 4^th , 8^th and 12^th weeks post-operation and examined by gross, X-ray, histomorphological and the computer analysis. The volume of newly-formed bone of the experimental side was much much than that of the control side at 4^th , 8^th and 12^th weeks. There is significant difference (p 〈 0.05) between experimental group and control group. Computer-aided X- ray analysis showed that the density of newly-formed bone, compared with the control side, were similar to the surrounding natural bone at 12^th week after operntion. Therefore, β- TCP/ BMG is a better bone substitute than TCP and is a degradable and biocompntible artificial bone substitute material and is osteoinductive and osteoconductive .展开更多

We performed long-term, continuous observation of cell morphology, growth, differentiation, and neuronal development using several microscopy techniques in conjunction with immunohistochemistry. We examined speciifc neu-ronal proteins and Nissl bodies involved in the differentiation process in order to determine the neuronal differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The results show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells that differentiate on fetal bovine acellular dermal matrix display neuronal morphology with unipolar and bi/multipolar neurite elongations that express neuro-nal-speciifc proteins, includingβIII tubulin. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells grown on fetal bovine acellular dermal matrix and induced for long periods of time with neural differen-tiation medium differentiated into a multilayered neural network-like structure with long nerve ifbers that was composed of several parallel microifbers and neuronal cells, forming a complete neural circuit with dendrite-dendrite to axon-dendrite to dendrite-axon synapses. In addition, growth cones with filopodia were observed using scanning electron microscopy. Paraffin sec-tioning showed differentiated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with the typical features of neuronal phenotype, such as a large, round nucleus and a cytoplasm full of Nissl bodies. The data suggest that the biological scaffold fetal bovine acellular dermal matrix is capable of supporting human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into functional neurons and the subsequent formation of tissue engineered nerve.展开更多

Aiming at the problem,frequencytuned salient map is used to detect the fabric defect. Firstly,the images of fabric defect are divided into blocks. Then,the blocks are highlighted by frequency-tuned salient algorithm. Simultaneously,gray-level co-occurrence matrix is used to extract the characteristic value of each rectangular patch. Finally,PNN is used to detect the defect on the fabric image. The performance of proposed algorithm is estimated off-line by two sets of fabric defect images. The theoretical argument is supported by experimental results.展开更多
