  • IN VIVO THREE-DIMENSIONAL TRANSIENT MOTION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUBAXIAL CERVICAL SPINE IN HEALTHY ADULTS

    ObjectiveTo observe the in vivo three-dimensional (3-D) transient motion characteristics of the subaxial cervical spine in healthy adults. MethodsSeventeen healthy volunteers without cervical spine related diseases were recruited for this study, including 8 males and 9 females with a mean age of 26 years (range, 23-41 years). The vertebral segment motion of each subject was reconstructed with CT, and Rhinoceros 4.0 solid modeling software were used for 3-D reconstruction model of the subaxial cervical spine. In vivo cervical vertebral motion in flexionextension, left and right bending, left and right rotation was observed with dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS). Coordinate systems were established at the vertebral center of C3-7 to obtain the intervertebral range of motion (ROM) and displacement at C3, 4, C4, 5, C5, 6, and C6, 7. The X-axis pointed to the left along the coronal plane, the Y-axis pointed to the back along the sagittal plane, and the Z-axis perpendicular to the X-Y plane pointed to the head. The ROM along X, Y, and Z axises were represented by rotation in flexion-extension (α), in left-right bending (β), and in left-right twisting (γ) respectively, and the displacement in left-right direction (x), in anterior-posterior direction (y), and in proximaldistal direction (z), respectively. ResultsIn flexion and extension, the displacement in anterior-posterior direction of C6, 7 was significantly less that of other segments (P<0.05), but the displacements in left-right direction and in proximaldistal direction showed no significant difference between segments (P>0.05); the ROM values in flexion-extension of C4, 5 and C5, 6 were significantly larger than those of C3, 4 and C6, 7 (P<0.05), and the ROM value in left-right twisting of C4, 5 was significantly larger than those of C5, 6 and C6, 7 (P<0.05), but the ROM value in left-right bending showed no significant difference between segments (P>0.05). In left and right bending, there was no significant difference in the displacement between other segments (P>0.05) except that the displacement in anterior-posterior direction of C3, 4 was significantly larger than that of C4, 5 (P<0.05), and that the displacement in proximal-distal direction of C6, 7 was significantly less than that of C3, 4 and C4, 5 (P<0.05); no significant difference was shown in the ROM value between segments (P>0.05), except that the ROM value in left-right twisting of C3, 4 was significantly larger than that of C5, 6 and C6, 7 (P<0.05). In left and right rotation, the ROM value in left-right twisting of C3, 4 was significantly larger than that of C4, 5 and C6, 7 (P<0.05), and the displacement and ROM value showed no significant differece between other segments (P>0.05). ConclusionThe intervertebral motions of the cervical spine show different characters at different levels. And the 6-degree-of-freedom data of the cervical vertebrae are obtained, these data may provide new information for the in vivo kinematics of the cervical spine.

    ObjectiveTo fabricate the bionic scaffolds of rat spinal cord by combining three dimensional (3D) printer and 3D software, so as to lay the foundation of theory and technology for the manufacture of scaffolds by using biomaterials. MethodsThree female Sprague Dawley rats were scanned by 7.0T MRI to obtain the shape and position data of the cross section and gray matter of T8 to T10 spinal cord. Combined with data of position and shape of nerve conduction beam, the relevant data were obtained via Getdata software. Then the 3D graphics were made and converted to stereolithography (STL) format by using SolidWorks software. Photosensitive resin was used as the materials of spinal cord scaffolds. The bionic scaffolds were fabricated by 3D printer. ResultsMRI showed that the section shape of T8 to T10 segments of the spinal cord were approximately oval with a relatively long sagittal diameter of (2.20±0.52) mm and short transverse diameter of (2.05±0.24) mm, and the data of nerve conduction bundle were featured in the STL format. The spinal cord bionic scaffolds of the target segments made by 3D printer were similar to the spinal cord of rat in the morphology and size, and the position of pores simulated normal nerve conduction of rat spinal cord. ConclusionSpinal cord scaffolds produced by 3D printer which have similar shape and size of normal rat spinal cord are more bionic, and the procedure is simple. This technology combined with biomaterials is also promising in spinal cord repairing after spinal cord injury.

  • Validation and Application of Novel Three Dimensional Operation Planning System in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Requiring Precise Hepatectomy

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a novel three dimensional (3D) preoperative simulation software in a clinical setting for patients undergoing precise hepatectomy. MethodsThe clinical data of 85 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma underwent precise hepatectomy were retrospectively studied. All the patients received CT screening and subsequent evaluation on the liver resection volume and margin and the percentage of resected tumor by 3D preoperative simulation software, which compared with the actual resection liver values. The operation plan was optimized by virtual hepatectomy. ResultsThe liver, tumor as well as blood vessel could be clearly showed and reconstructed by 3D preoperative simulation software. All the patients underwent precise hepatectomy. After operation ascites occurred in 3 patients on 2 d, moderate pleural effusion occurred in 2 patients on 2 d, and bile leakage appeared in 4 patients on 5 d, which were improved by conservative treatment. The length of stay in all patients ranged from 6 to 88 d (mean 23 d), and no recurrence and death occurred within 30 d of operation. The predicted resection liver volume was significantly correlated with the actual resection volume (r=0.960, Plt;0.001), and the difference between the mean volume of predicted and actual resection liver was not significant (896.7 ml vs. 819.1 ml, t=1.851, P=0.068). In addition, the predicted resection margin was also correlated with the actual resection margin (r=0.972, Plt;0.001), with the difference in the mean resection margin was not significant too (12.2 mm vs. 11.9 mm, t=1.143, P=0.256). No patients suffered from severe postoperative complications. ConclusionsThe 3D preoperative simulation software is able to evaluate and simulate liver resection accurately, which may contribute to a safe precise hepatectomy plan.

  • THREE-DIMENSIONAL CULTURE AND MORPHOLOGICAL OBSERVATION OF HUMAN ECCRINE SWEAT GLAND CELLS

    ObjectiveTo investigate the three-dimensional (3D) culture and morphology of human eccrine sweat gland cells. MethodsThe human eccrine sweat gland cells were isolated from normal abdominal full thickness skin by digestion of type II collagenase, and cultured in defined-keratinocyte serum free medium supplemented with 5 ng/mL recombinant human epidermal growth factor, 25 mg/mL bovine pituitary extract, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin at 37℃ in a humidified atmosphere of 5%CO2/95% air incubator. When the cell fusion reached above 80%, the cells were harvested and the concentration was adjusted to 1×105 cells/mL. The mixture of 0.3 mL cell suspension and 0.3 mL Matrigel basement-membrane matrix was cultured in 12-well plate. The cell growth was observed under an inverted phase contrast microscope. At 14 days after culture, frozen sections were prepared and were stained with HE to observe the cells morphology, and immunohistochemical analysis was used to detect the antigen expressions of cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and CK19. ResultsInverted phase contrast microscope observation showed that many free eccrine sweat gland tissues were seen after digestion of type II collagenase; eccrine sweat gland cells grew adhering to the wall at 3-5 days and continued division for 2-3 weeks to form single ring around the block sweat glands; cellular senescence were observed after 3-4 weeks. During the process of 3D culture, the single eccrine sweat gland cell divided into 2-4 cells after 2-3 days, and these cells subsequently formed small cell clusters, tubular-like structures and finally spheric-like shapes. After cultured for about 2 weeks, there was crack in part of the gelled mixture or liquefaction occurred. HE staining of frozen sections of the 3D cultures showed some of the tubular-like structures composed of 1-2 layers of epithelial cells, which were similar to the secretion part and the duct part of the eccrine sweat gland. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that CK7 and CK19 antigens expressed positively in the cells. ConclusionHuman eccrine sweat gland cells cultured in Matrigel can form the 3D structures which simulate the morphology of eccrine sweat glands in vivo.
