Objective To compare and analyze the curative effects of mediopatellar plica syndrome under different therapies. Methods 147 patients with mediopatellar plica syndrome were enrolled in the study from January 2011 to January 2015 and divided into three groups refer to treatment: Group A, B and C. Each group was also divided in the youth group and the mid-age group. Different treatments were used in the three groups. Group A: drug therapy and physicotherapeutics; Group B: intraarticular injection regularly; Group C: arthroscopic surgical treatment. All patient conditions were assessed with Lysholm score. Results All patients received an average of 11 (9 ~ 13) months follow-up. No blood-vessel and nerve injured and infection occurred. Before receiving treatment, difference in Lysholm score of the three groups showed no statistical difference (F = 0.08, P = 0.926); after treatment, difference revealed significant difference (F = 15.48, P = 0.001). Compared with those before operation and after operation among the three groups, the Lysholm score was improved (tA = 3.43, tB = 6.74, tC = 7.99, P = 0.001). In the rangeability of Lysholm score, the Group C > B > A (F = 66.43, tAB = 5.97, tAC = 11.52, tBC = 5.55, P = 0.001);The general youth group > the general mid-age (t = 7.91, P = 0.001). Conclusion The best therapeutic method for mediopatellar plica syndrome is the arthroscopy. As for mid-age patients, it is necessary to inform them of possibility that prognosis is not well in preoperative planning.

Objective To investigate the application of computer-aided 3D reconstruction and rapid prototyping(RP) technique in the correction of prominent mandibular angle.Methods Computer tomography scanning and 3D reconstruction were performed on 15 square face patients with prominent mandibular angles,then their actual mandible models were made by RP techniques.Surgical programs were made according to the model,including partial mandibular angle osteotomy,outer mandible table sagittal splitting osteotomy,chin augmentation with autogenous mandibule bones,and so on.In 15 cases,mandibular angle partial cutting was performed in 5 cases,sagittal splitting osteotomy in 6 cases,and mandibular angle partial cutting combined with splitting osteotomy in 4 cases.The autogenous mandibule bones were transplanted for chin augmentation in 3 chin microsomia patients.All the cases were treated according to the position and range set by the RP model.Results All the mandibular models produced by RP techniques were real and complete,which could directly and precisely show the state of the mandible.The operations completed smoothly and accomplished with the expected outcomes designed before operation.In all cases,the width of lower face was efficiently reduced and the face was symmetrical after operation.The follow-up period ranged from 3 months to 1 year in 12 patients,during which their facial appearances were in good condition and the results were satisfactory.Conclusion RP techniques is helpful in precise representation of the state of mandible,which providing ideal surgical models for accurate evaluation of prominent mandibular angle,design of surgical procedures as well as surgery instruction.It can provide good assistance to facial contour plastic surgery.

Objective To predict the binding sites of transforming growth factor-βreceptor Ⅱ (TβRⅡ ) ectodomain and the aptamer S58 specifically targeted TβRⅡ ,and to confirm the structure stability of the aptamer S 58 in vitro .Methods We created three-dimensional structure by utilizing ssDNA aptamer sequences ,the crystal structure of the TβRⅡ was searched by protein data bank database .According to the results of the molecular docking experiments on aptamer S 58 and TβRⅡ ectodomain ,we sheared the aptamer sequences ,then verified its affinity respectively by biosensor technology and Western blot .Results Binding sites of aptamers S58 and TRβⅡ ectodomain included site Ⅰ(T4 ,T5 ,G6 ,C7) ,site Ⅱ(G13 ,A14 ,T15 ,C16 ,G17 ,C18 ) ,site Ⅲ (T31 ,G32 , T33 ,C34) and site Ⅳ(G40 ,A41 ,T42 ,T43 ,T44 ,G45 ,G46) .We validated the high affinity between aptamer S58 and TRβⅡ ectodo-main .The expression of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) protein in the human tenon′s capsule fibroblasts was descended obviously after the experiment of the aptamer S58 in comparing with the control of DMEM (P< 0 .05) .But the new ssDNA by shear the aptamer ssDNA S58 according to the results were poor than aptamers S58 .Conclusion The aptamer S58 targeted TβRⅡ was high-ly specific with a certain stability ,any changing of structure will reduce the affinity of TβRⅡ .Computer-aided molecular docking technology has become an important means of an exploratory intermolecular interaction ,and can provides a good theoretical basis on medical research .

AIM:To make a survey on people suffering trachoma in Gansu province, and to provide evidence for developing trachoma control and prevention therapy.
METHODS: We chose the zone on the basis of relative information. Provincial Office of Blindness Prevention carried out the survey in 3 counties including Tange Township of Wushan, Xiqu Township of Minqin and Hulinjia Township of Jishishan from October 14, 2013 to November 23, 2013. One hundred and fifty primary school students were selected, including 72 boys and 78 girls aging from 5a to 10a with the average age of 7. 5y. The targeted students received the fast trachoma assessment by the adoption of simplified trachoma classification system which was recommended by the World Health Organization.
RESULTS: No case of active trachoma, trachomatous trichiasis and corneal disease were examined among 150 students.
CONCLUSION: The rate of trachoma is low in Gansu province. But we still cannot get the conclusion that there is no epidemic of trachoma in Gansu. And we need to further expand the survey scope to correctly assess the trachoma case and to provide reliable evidence for trachoma prevention and control.

Trachoma, a contagious keratoconjunctivitis ( KC ) , caused by Chlamydia trachomatis infection, is rife in 57 countries in the world at present. The World Health Organization ( WHO) listed the global alliance to eliminate blinding trachoma by 2020 as one of top priorities of its blindness prevention in 1998. A simplified classification system for identifying and naming trachoma, designated by WHO, and the SAFE strategy based on community intervention were extended continuously in the world in 10 years since then. The trachoma prevalence trend has showed a change compared with that in the past. China has launched the blindness prevention action, aimed to eliminate blinding trachoma by 2016. In this paper, we reviews progress in diagnosis, treatment and epidemic of trachoma since the extension of the SAFE strategy.

Objective To investigate gender differences in the curative effects of allograft and autologous hamstring tendon in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Methods One hundred and forty-eight patients with the anterior cruciate ligament injury received surgical treatment were enrolled from January 2011 to January 2015 and divided into two groups,including group M(Men)and group W(Women). Patients in each group were also divided in the allograft group (Group A) and the autologous hamstring tendon group (Group B). The patient condition was separately assessed with the Lysholm,Tegner,VAS score and the value of KT-1000 before and after surgery. Results All patients received an average of 16(13-18)-month follow-up visit. No severe complication , such as blood-vessel and nerve injury ,infection and rupture of graft ,occurred in patients after operations. Compared with those before operation,the Lysholm,Tegner,VAS score and the value of KT-1000 after operation in four groups were significantly improved (P < 0.05,respectively). However,no significant differences were found in the Lysholm,Tegner,VAS score and the value of KT-1000 improvement among group MA,MB,WA and WB post treatment(P>0.05). Conclusions The curative effect of ACL reconstruction between allograft ligament and autologous hamstring tendon has no significant difference in gender. The selection of graft should be considered in more aspects.

Objective To examine the expression and analyze the significance of autophagy-related gene microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (MAP1-LC3,LC3),p62 and lysosorne-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2) in pancreatic tissues of mice with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods Twenty mice were randomized into AP group and control group,and the number of mice was equal between two groups.AP group was intra-peritoneally injected by 20％ L-arginine solution (two injections of 4 g/kg body weight,every 1 h) in the dosage of 4 g/l kg twice every 1 hour to establish AP model,while control group was administered with equal volume of normal saline by intra-peritoneal injection.All the mice were euthanized at 24 hour after the last injection.Pancreatic histopathological changes were measured.In addition,the protein expressions of LC3,p62 and LAMP-2 were detected by Western blot.Results No obvious pathological changes were observed in control group.Pancreatic acinar edema,structure destruction,missing,the obvious widening of interlobular septum,small interlobular septum and acinar septum,and the necrosis of acinar cells at different degrees were observed in AP group.The pathological score for tissue edema,hemorrhage,necrosis and inflammation in AP group was 3.13 ± 0.50,2.83 ± 0.32,3.25 ± 0.46 and 3.16 ± 0.47,respectively,which was all 0 in control group.The differences were statistically significant between AP group and control group (P ＜ 0.01).In AP group,the ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ,p62 and LAMP-2 protein in pancreatic tissue were 1.16 ± 0.08,0.94 ± 0.04 and 0.35 ± 0.04,respectively,which were 0.24 ± 0.02,0.34 ± 0.03 and 0.95 ± 0.03 in control group.The ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ and p62 protein in pancreatic tissue in AP group were much higher than those in control group,while LAMP-2 in AP group was lower than that in control group,and there was statistically significant difference between two groups (all P ＜0.01).Conclusions Intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine could induce acute pancreatitis,and autophagy is impaired,which was associated with decreased LAMP-2 protein expression.
