BACKGROUND: Bionic porous scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering requires extracellular matrix-like nanofibrous and connected macroporous structure to effectively support cell implantation, adhesion, proliferation and other behaviors, and promote tissue regeneration. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress in nanorfibrous macroporous scaffold preparation technology for tissue engineering based on the latest relevant research trends. METHODS: The first author searched Web of Science, CNKI and Baidu academic databases to retrieve papers published from 2000 to 2019 with the search terms "bone tissue engineering, nanofibrous, macroporous, scaffolds" in English and Chinese, respectively. Finally, 58 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The scaffolds with nanofibrous structures are fabricated using three strategies, including electrospinning, thermally induced phase separation, and self-assembly process. However, bone scaffold fabricated by a single strategy failed to provide interconnected macropores to simulate the microenvironment in the body, which was necessary for cell migration, growth, differentiation, proliferation, and tissue and organ regeneration. Therefore, it is now of great practical and scientific significance to develop macroporous nanofibrous scaffold using a combination of several strategies. Three-dimensional printing technique can provide precise structure and enables the customization of the internal structure and external shape of the scaffold, which promotes the development of bone tissue engineering technique.

BACKGROUND: The near-infrared fluorescent dyes that directly bind to tumor cells have been developed, and IR-780 stands out. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the specific imaging effect of near-infrared fluorescent dye IR-780 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). METHODS: Human ccRCC cells 786-O, ACHN and normal human embryonic kidney 293T cells in logarithmic growth phase were incubated with 20 μmol/L IR-780 for 30 minutes. The localization of the dye in ccRCC was observed by laser confocal microscopy. Human ccRCC cells 786-O in logarithmic phase was incubated with 20 μmol/L IR-780 for 30 minutes. The localization of the dye in mitochondria and lysosomes was observed under confocal laser scanning microscope. 10, 100, 1 000 and 10 000 DAPI-stained human ccRCC cells 786-O were respectively added to human blood samples. The mononuclear cells in each group were isolated and cultured with 20 μmol/L IR-780 for 30 minutes. DAPI and IR-780 double positive cells were observed under confocal laser scanning microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: IR-780 possessed the ability to visualize a variety of ccRCC cells, but not for normal renal epithelial cells. IR-780 had obvious overlapping staining in lysosomes or mitochondria, indicating its selective accumulation in mitochondria and lysosomes in the organelles. IR-780 could detect a small amount of ccRCC in the blood. These results suggest that the near-infrared fluorescent dye IR-780 can specifically accumulate in ccRCC cells, which can be used for specific diagnosis of ccRCC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
