BACKGROUND:Previous study has observed that the calf acellular dermal membrane exhibits slow repair efficiency, fast degradability speed and other shortcomings in the repair of cartilage defects. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the repair effect of the col agen type Ⅱ-modified acel ular dermal membrane on cartilage defects in rabbits. METHODS:The fetal rabbit chondrocytes were seeded onto the col agen type Ⅱ-modified acel ular dermal membrane, and the composite was then observed under scanning electron microscope at 3, 7 and 14 days. Cartilage defect models were established on the bilateral femoral condyles of 24 New Zealand white rabbits, and these model rabbits were randomly allocated to three groups. The cartilage-acellular dermal membrane and cartilage-collagen type Ⅱ-modified acellular dermal membrane were implanted into the defect regions of control and experimental groups, respectively. Those received no intervention were as blank control group. Collagen type Ⅱ immunohistochemical staining and Wakitani scoring system were performed at 6 and 12 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Chondrocytes grew and adhered well in the scaffold. The Wakitani scores in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control and blank control groups at postoperative 6 and 12 weeks (P<0.05). At 6 and 12 weeks postoperatively, collagen type Ⅱ immunohistochemical staining was the strongest in the experimental group, with yellow and brown particles in the cytoplasm;the control group was positive for collagen type Ⅱ immunohistochemical staining, while the blank control group was negative for the staining. Our findings suggest that the collagen type Ⅱ-modified acellular dermal membrane is beneficial for the repair of cartilage defects.

BACKGROUND:No method is ideal for treating traumatic avascular necrosis of talus up to now.Extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT)is a micro-traumatic,simple,and effective method to treat musculoskeletal diseases;however,the therapeutic effect on necrosis of talus needs to be further studied.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of liquid-electric extracorporeal shock wave on traumatic avascular necrosis of talus,and to explore new treatments of traumatic avascular necrosis of talus METHODS:A total of 34 patients with traumatic avascular necrosis of talus were selected from the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Chinese Armed Police Force from September 2004 to June 2009.The patients were randomly divided into ESWT and control groups,with 17 patients per group All patients were treated with pain point positioning combined with surface X-ray localization,theworking voltage of 8-10 kV,energyflowdensity of 0.12-0.16mJ/mm2,impact frequency of 40-50 times/min,and impact of 800-1000 times,once a week,for 3-5 cycles.Pain was evaluated with VAS before and after treatment,function of ankle was evaluated with AOFAS standards,and MRI of ankle was re-checked at 18 months after treatment to compare necrotic area before and after treatment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:VAS pain,function of ankle,and necrotic area of ankle in the ESWT group were significantly improved compared to those in the control group at 18 months after treatment(P<0.01).Activity of one case in the control group was limited by severe pain due to traumatic arthritis in the first 15 weeks after ankle arthrodesis surgery.This suggested that significant effect and fewer complications,for treating traumatic avascular necrosis of talus.

Objective:Some antigens of M.tb to culture with peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMC) for assaying their proliferation and activation,so as to signify whether lipid antigens of M.tb have specific immune responses in host against M.tb infection or not.Methods:We treated PBMC with several lipid antigens of M.tb to explore the ability of these antigens to activate immunity in healthy individuals.We measured and analyzed cell proliferation by labeling cells with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl amino ester (CFSE) and subjecting them to flow cytometry (FCM).The production of IFN-γ,TNF-αand IL-4 by T cell subsets (NKT,CD4+, CD8+,andγδT) from healthy donors was analyzed by FCM after stimulation with autologous immature dendritic cells pre-cultured with M.tb lipid antigens.The tested M.tb lipid antigens were the total lipid (TLIP),Acetone-Soluble Lipids (ASLIP),Purified Sulfolipid (PSLIP),Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) and Lipomannan (LM) levels.Medium free of lipid antigens(WCL,CFP,LPS,Mtb-HAg and blank) was used as a control.Results:We found the proportion of proliferative NKT and CD8+T cells significantly increased in all lipid groups (P<0.05).ASLIP,LAM and LM promoted non-proliferative CD4+T cells to secrete IL-4 and proliferative ones to secrete IFN-γ( P<0.05).All lipid antigens promoted both proliferativeγδT cells and CD8+T cells to secrete IFN-γand TNF-α,but the proportion of TNF-α-secreting cells in these populations decreased in the LM group ( P<0.05 ).Conclusion: Lipid antigens may affect the CD1-restricted T cells of the host to fight M.tb infection.

According to the literature review, no cyst of the hip ligamentum teres has been reported. In this study, a 50?year?old female patient was admitted to the hospital because of sprained left hip pain with movement restriction for 15 months. The unilateral hip joint MRI showed cyst of the hip ligamentum teres, which was diagnosed as left hip joint cyst in the outpatient de?partment. Thus, the patient was admitted to the hospital. Physical examination showed that the left hip joint movement was slightly restricted with positive FADDIR test and FABER test. Arthroscopic surgical examination revealed a 1.5 cm×1.0 cm cyst at the lo?cation of the round ligament which was then cleared with a planer knife and radiofrequency. The treatment results were satisfacto?ry. The present study reviewed the literature about anatomical and biomechanical physicochemical properties of the ligamentum teres. The function of the ligamentum teres is important for the hip joint. In diagnosis of hip disease, unilateral hip MRI plays an important role in accurate diagnosis of such diseases. The hip arthroscopy provide a minimal invasive technique in treating cyst of the hip ligamentum teres. With the application of the hip arthroscopy, it will undoubtedly improve the diagnosis and treatment of hip diseases.
