[Objective]To compare retrospectively the clinical outcome in total knee arthroplasty with and without patellar resurfacing.[Method]From October 1994 to October 2004,125 patients(148 knees)with osteoarthritis were enrolled in the clinical trial of total knee arthroplasty,patients received resurfacing(84 knees)or retention patellar(64 knees).Evaluation was done from preoperatively to final followed-up postoperatively.The patients were scored using American HSS Score for knee and the Feller Score for patalla.The data were analyzed using SPSS software.[Result]In resurfacing patella group,the preoperative and final follow-up HSS scores of patients were(39.6?9.8)and(90.9?8.2)points respectively,scores of patailar were(14.4?6.4)and(25.2?4.8),scores of anterior knee pain were(4.6?3.9)and(10.6?4.1).In nonresurfacing patella group,the preoperative and final follow-up HSS scores of patients were(38.8?9.8)and(90.2?8.9)points respectively,scores of patallar were(14.2?6.2)and(25.1?4.8),scores of anterior knee pain were(4.8?3.8)and(10.3?4.1).There were significant differences in both groups preoperatively and postoperatively in anterior knee pain score,but no significant difference between the two groups in anterior knee pain score.[Conclusion]Whether the patellar replaced or not,the most importance for avoiding anterior knee pain postoperatively is the reasonable selection of patient and correct operation.

BACKGROUND: Bone morphogenetic protein 2 and transforming growth factor β are important factors in bone regeneration, increasing the expressions of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and transforming growth factor β can promote the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE: To construct the lentivirus vector carrying bone morphogenetic protein 2 and transforming growth factor β3, and to observe the expression of lentivirus vector in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS: The recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying transforming growth factor β3, bone morphogenetic protein 2 and green fluorescent protein were constructed with recombinant lentiviral technology, and then the recombinant lentiviral vectors were used to transfect the passage 3 rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro cultured (transfection group). The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfected with single gene lentivirals (single gene transfection group) carrying transforming growth factor β3 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 or single lentivirals were as control (control group). At 1 week after trasfection, the total RNA and protein were extracted from each group for detection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The green fluorescence bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfected with transforming growth factor β3 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 gene for 3 days could be observed under fluorescence microscope, and the transfection efficiency was over 90%. Reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot results showed the mRNA and protein expressions of transforming growth factor β3 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 in the transfection group were higher than those in the single gene transfection group and the control group. The results indicate that lentivirus can successful y transfect transforming growth factor β3 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 into the bone marrow msenchymal stem cells and achieve its high expression, and these two genes have the synergistic effect of promoting expression.

BACKGROUND: The existed repair method for cartilage defects has shortcomings of insufficient repairing tissue numbers, poor biomechanical properties, as well as donor site complication. Thus it is deficient to repair large-sized osteochondral defects using one method.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect of tissue engineering modified Mosaicplasty on repairing large-sized osteochondral defects.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized controlled animal experiment was performed at the Center Laboratory of Qingdao University Medical College from January to September 2009.MATERIALS: The hircine bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were in vitro cultured, and resuspended with algin solution to obtain BMSCs-calcium alginate gel.METHODS: Totally 12 goats were prepared for osteochondral defects models and were divided into 3 groups.BMSCs-Mosaicplasty group, BMSCs compound with injectable alginate calcium gel was then applied to fill the "dead space" after Mosaicplasty. In the Mosaicplasty group, the defects were repaired by Mosaicplasty. There was no treatment in the control group.From 4 to 16 weeks postoperatively, the animals were sacrificed and the in gross and under electromicroscopy.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Gross observation: the joint was exposed to observe the repair effect at weeks 4, 8,16 after operation. ②Histological examination: specimens were harvested at 16 weeks after operation and observed by haematoxylin-eosin staining, toluidine blue staining under light microscopy. ③Transmission electron microscope was used at 16 weeks after operation.RESULTS: The transplanted subchondral bone and superficial cartilage was integrated hardly with each other or with recipient sites in tissue engineering modified Mosaicplasty groups at 16 weeks after operation. The quality and appearance of the transplanted and regenerated cartilage was similar to normal hyaline cartilage. Under microscopy, the regenerated cartilage was integrated with neighbor tightly in regular arrange. ECM distributed evenly and deeply stained by alcian blue. There was no obviously repaired in the control group.CONCLUSION: Tissue engineering can ameliorate the outcome of Mosaicplasty to repair the osteochondral defects.

Objective To explore the effect of neostigmine in treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) combined with intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH).Methods 42 patients diagnosed as SAP combined with IAH and meeting standard were collected from Aug.2012 to Jul.2016 in our hospital.They were randomly divided into two groups:observation group and the control group.General information of the two groups was comparable.Patients of the control group received conventional treatment methods such as fasting,gastrointestinal decompression,nutritional support,antispasmodic,analgesia,intravenous infusion of omeprazole and octreotide.Patients of the observation group received intramuscular injection of neostigmine methylsulfate on the basis of the control group for seven days.The intra-abdominal pressure,recovery time of bowel sounds,the first exhaust and defecation time,remission time of abdominal distention,modified Marshall score,APACHE-Ⅱ score,SIRS score,total hospitalization time and total hospitalization expenses,MODS rate,operation rate and mortality of the two groups were recorded during the treatment.Results The intra-abdominal pressure of the observation group was (14.25±1.03) mmHg,(13.52 ±1.23) mmHg,(12.73±1.14)mmHg respectively,lower than that of the control group (15.14± 1.12) mmHg,(14.60± 1.11) mmHg,(13.84±1.08) mmHg at the 3rd,4th,and 5th day after treat ment (P＜0.05).For the observation group,the recovery time of bowel sounds was (7.24±1.35) d,the first exhaust and defecation time was (11.33±1.51) d,(8.36±1.63) d,remission time of abdominal distention was (13.62±2.26) d,lower than those of the control group ((9.56±1.17)d,(13.42±1.26)d,(10.45±1.54)d,(16.75±3.05)d) (P＜0.05).The recovery time of bowel sounds,the first exhaust and defecation time,remission time of abdominal distention of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P＜0.05).The modified Marshall score,APACHE-]Ⅱ score,SIRS score of the two groups had no significant difference (P＞0.05).The total hospitalizationtime and total hospitalization expenses of the two groups had no significant difference (P＞0.05).MODS rate,operation rate and mortality of the two groups had no significant difference (P＞0.05).Conclusions Neostigmine can significantly reduce intra-abdominal pressure of patients suffering from SAP combined with IAH,improve the symptoms of paralytic ileus,promoting exhaust and defecation.However,it has limited effects on prognosis of patients suffering from SAP combined with IAH.

BACKGROUND:Stable intertrochanteric fractures can be treated by closed reduction and internal fixation,but there is no absolute advantage for unstable intertrochanteric fractures with osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efficacy of arthroplasty in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly with osteoporosis by comparing the indexes related to closed reduction internal fixation and arthroplasty. METHODS:Clinical data of 102 elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur treated in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical method.In the Gamma3 group,62 cases received Gamma3 internal fixation system.In the joint replacement group,40 cases received an artificial femoral head replacement or total hip replacement.Surgical information,hospitalization,hip function,and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There were statistical differences between the Gamma3 group and the joint replacement group in weight-bearing time(P＜0.001),hospital stay(P＜0.05),intraoperative bleeding(P＜0.001),and length of surgery(P＜0.001).The mean weight-bearing time and hospital stay were shorter in the joint replacement group than in the Gamma3 group.Intraoperative bleeding and duration of surgery were better in the Gamma3 group than in the joint replacement group.(2)There was no significant difference in Harris hip score,subitem centesimal hip score,and postoperative complications 12 months after surgery in both groups(P=0.526,0.788,0.228).(3)It is indicated that arthroplasty has achieved better outcomes in the treatment of elderly unstable intertrochanteric fractures combined with osteoporosis,enabling early weight bearing and functional exercise.Careful selection of the appropriate patient and prosthesis type for arthroplasty will result in greater patient benefit.

OBJECTIVE To observe whether mitochondria can be transferred from mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)to irradiated cells by establishing a mitochondrial fluorescent reporting system.METHODS The lentiviral vector pSIN-EF1α-COX8A-DsRed2(named COX8A-DsRed2)that might guide the expres-sion of red fluorescence protein in the membrane of mitochondria was constructed.A lentivirus(named Lv-COX8A-DsRed2)was prepared in 293T cell line.Dental pulp stem cells(DPSCs)(named DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2)was infected with Lv-COX8A-DsRed2.The intracellular expression of the red fluores-cence protein in DPSC was observed under fluorescence microcopy.The mitochondrial localization of the expressed red fluorescent probe in DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2 was confirmed according to TOMM20 immunostaining and MitoTracker Green staining results,which could specifically label mitochondria.The IEC-6 cells that received 10 Gy X-ray radiation were used as an injured cell model.The co-culture system was established by supplementing DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2 into the culture plate with the irradi-ated IEC-6 labelled by CFSE for 24 h.RESULTS The imaging results of fluorescent microcopy obser-vation showed that DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2 expressed the mitochondrial fluorescent reporting system,which was co-located with TOMM20 protein and Mito Tracker Green.The imaging results of confocal fluorescence microcopy showed that the mitochondria with red fluorescent protein were transferred from DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2 to the irradiated IEC-6 cells,suggesting that the established mitochondrial fluorescent reporting system could indicate mitochondrial transfer from donor cells to injured ones.CONCLUSION DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2 stably expressing the mitochondrial fluorescent reporting system is established,which can be used to track mitochondrial transfer.
