Objective To review the research progress of articular cartilage scaffold materials and look into the future development prospects. Methods Recent literature about articular cartilage scaffold for tissue engineering was reviewed, and the results from experiments and clinical application about natural and synthetic scaffold materials were analyzed. Results The design of articular cartilage scaffold for tissue engineering is vital to articular cartilage defects repair. The ideal scaffold can promote the progress of the cartilage repair, but the scaffold materials still have their limitations. Conclusion It is necessary to pay more attention to the research of the articular cartilage scaffold, which is significant to the repair of cartilage defects in the future.
As an important component of the healthcare system reform, the regional rehabilitation medical alliance aims to integrate medical resources within the region, promote standardization, specialization, and accessibility of rehabilitation medical services, and achieve efficient collaboration and resource sharing among medical institutions at all levels. This article comprehensively and systematically reviews and analyzes the current situation of the construction of regional rehabilitation medical alliance in China. At the same time, combined with the construction practice of West China Airport Hospital of Sichuan University, it summarizes experience and puts forward suggestions, providing a reference for the development of regional rehabilitation medical alliance.
