Artificial Heart Valve Scaffold Based on Electrospun PCL/PU Three-Layer Composite Fibers by Xu Gao, Zhong Liu, Zhiwei Zhang, Yuan Gao, Jun Zhang, Yunze Long

“…The heart valve scaffold had good cytocompatibility, and the final cell survival rate was 99.8% after 14 days of cell culture. The layered structure makes the artificial heart valve more similar to the natural structure of the mammalian heart, which is conducive to cell proliferation and differentiation, and provides a reference solution for interventional treatment of heart valves.…”

Effect and Mechanism of Massage Manipulation on Rats with Skeletal Muscle Overuse Injury Based on Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway by DUAN Miaomiao, HUANG Bo, RUAN Lei, MU Panpan, CHEN Yiming, PENG Liang

“…Compared with the model group, the gastrocnemius muscle cells in the intervention group were slightly edematous; the myofibril bundles showed clear structure; some myofibril bundles were broken, and the Z-line structure was clear and arranged neatly. (4) Transcriptional levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in gastrocnemius muscle tissue: compared with the blank group, the transcriptional levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in the model group and the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, the transcriptional levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (5) Protein expression levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in gastrocnemius muscle tissue: compared with the blank group, protein expression levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in the model group and the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, protein expression levels of MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 in the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (6) Protein expression levels of Wnt3a, Axin2 and β-catenin in gastrocnemius muscle tissues: compared with the blank group, protein expression levels of Wnt3a, Axin2 and β-catenin in the model group and the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, protein expression levels of Wnt3a, Axin2 and β-catenin in the intervention group were significantly higher (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionMassage manipulation can improve the gastrocnemius muscle injury and motor function in rats with skeletal muscle overuse injury, and its mechanism may be related to the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.…”
