BACKGROUND:Pediatric knee dysfunction is a congenital malformation. Fusion and fixation can effectively eliminate pain, but no joint has active function. Total knee arthroplasty is a safe and effective method to relieve pain and to rebuild its function. With the continuous development of total knee arthroplasty, the type of knee prostheses is more. OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacy of different reconstruction methods for children with stunted knee arthroplasty. METHODS:120 knee stunted children were equaly divided into treatment group and control group depended on the reconstruction, and then al children were given the artificial knee replacement surgery and were completed by the same group of physicians. In the control group, stable fixed platform prosthesis was selected. In the treatment group, the non-limiting prosthetic-posterior cruciate ligament resection of low contact pressure rotating platform prosthesis was given. Operative time, blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, and complications were observed in both groups. Al patients were folowed up for 3 months. Knee function was assessed by Hospital for Special Surgery and American knee society knee score. Multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze the possible factors affecting Hospital for Special Surgery score during folow up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: No significant difference in operative time, blood loss and postoperative hospital stay was compared in both groups (P> 0.05). The postoperative overal incidences of inflammatory response, wound healing, periprosthetic infection, and joint stiff were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). At 3-month folowed-up, Hospital for Special Surgery and American knee society knee score clinical score and functional score were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Hospital for Special Surgery score > 80 served as a standard. Multivariate regression analysis results showed that age, type of prosthesis, and varus deformity were the major independent risk factors for affecting joint replacement (P< 0.05). Results indicate that knee arthroplasty for knee dysfunction obtained good prognostic effect. Simultaneously, the non-limiting application of prosthetic reconstruction can effectively reduce postoperative complications and improve knee function.

Dating of injury and the discrimination in trauma and disease is always an important hot topic in the field of forensic medicine. Lumbar disc herniation is a kind of physiological degeneration. To seek a method for deducing the occurrence time of traumatic LDH exactly, this article reviewed the correlation between humoral, celllur immunity and the occurrence time of LDH. It is suggested that some characteristic changes of the expression of IgG,IgM,macrophages may be a helpful method for the occurrence time deduction of traumatic LDH.

Objective To investigate the causes of diarrhea during autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT )and summarize the nursing strategies.Method The histories of 23 APBSCT patients suffering from diarrheas were retrospectively reviewed to find out the causes of diarrhea and summarize the nursing strategies.Results The main causes of the diarrheas included the toxicity of pretreatment chemotherapy drugs in 15 cases,antibiotics in 2 cases,gastrointestinal motility drugs in 2 cases,intestinal infections from decreased immunity in 2 cases and other diseases in 2 cases,all recovered by corresponding managements.Conclusions APBSCT-associated diarrheas may be caused by chemotherapy drug toxicity,infections,drugs and other factors.So the nurses should evaluate them correctly,adopt corresponding nursing measures,strengthen the observation of patients' condition and raise awareness of prevention for the purpose of reducing the incidence of diarrhea,promoting the recovery of patients and improving the quality of life.

Three compounds of metalloporphyrins were studied using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.The bonding power between substitutional phenyl and porphyrin cycle and the coordinate conditions of metalloporphyrins with imidazole were disscused. The experimental result indicated that the bonding power between substitutional phenyl and porphyrin cycle in metalloporphyrins became weak from Mn,Fe to Co.The complexes abundances formed by metallophorphyrin with imidazole were stronger with the increase of the ligand concentration.At the same ligand concentration,the abundance of the complexes was intensified gradually and the stability of the ligands was become stronger from Mn,Fe to Co.

Objective To systematically assess the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatment for vertigo with excess syndrome. Methods Chinese and English literature about acupuncture treatment of vertigo with excess syndrome published in recent years was comprehensively searched. The quality of the retrieved literature meeting the inclusion criteria of randomized controlled trial was assessed and its data was collected. A Meta analysis of the included studies was carried out.Results Finally, 10 articles with randomized controlled trials containing a total of 688 patients were included in the analysis. The included literature was assessed at lower quality using Cochrane evaluation member manual 5.1. A Meta analysis showed that the efficacy rate of acupuncture treatment for vertigo with excess syndrome was higher than that of Western drugs alone [M-H OR 4.84, 95%CI (2.39, 9.81),P<0.0001]. Combined acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine was superior to Chinese herbal medicine alone [M-H OR 3.82, 95%CI (2.06, 7.10),P<0.0001]. Vertigo symptom and function scoring showed day 3 of treatment [MD 4.66, 95%CI (2.97, 6.35)], day 7 of treatment [MD 0.95, 95%CI (0.03, 1.86)] and day 14 of treatment [MD 0.89, 95%CI (0.71, 2.49)]. There were statistically significant differences in the vertigo symptom and function scores between the two groups of patients at day 3 and 7 of treatment. There were no statistically significant differences in the scores between the two groups of patients at day 14 of treatment. Conclusions Acupuncture or combined acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are effective and highly safe in treating vertigo with excess syndrome, but high-quality, multi-center and large-sample RCT studies still need to be conducted for validation and support.

Objective To evaluate ascending venography in the diagnosis of iliac vein compression syndrome.Methods From April 2011 to April 2013,we have had 556 patients with varicose veins suspected of Cockett syndrome.The degree of varicose veins by the International Union of Venous Clinical Classification (CEAP classification) was as following[1]:shallow varicose veins of lower limb (C2) in 190;varicose veins with limb swelling (C3) in 149 cases ; with body skin changes,such as pigmentation,eczema or lipid hard skin disease (C4) in 130; with healed ulcers (C5) in 17; with active ulcer(C6) in 70.Deep vein anterograde contrast and femoral venous cannula angiography were performed on 760 times.Results Iliac vein compression syndrome (Cockett) was detected by ascending venography in 154 patients,the diagnosis was established by following femoral venous cannula angiography.In the other 48 patients in whom Cockett syndrome was suspected by ascending venography,final diagnosis was reached by femoral venous cannula angiography.Altogether there were 202 iliac vein compression syndrome cases,with a positive rate 38.19％ (202/529).The narrowness was larger than 50％ in 173 cases.In 145 cases there were visible collateral vessels.Conclusions Deep vein ascending angiography is a useful screening method in the diagnosis and treatment of Cockett syndrome.

Objective To study the effect of endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs) transplantation on chronic deep venous thrombosis.Methods Bone marrow-derived mouonuclear cells (BMMNCs) were isolated from rat bone marrow by ficoll and cultured with EGM-2MV medium.A rat model of chronic deep vein thrombosis was established by partial ligation of the inferior vena cava and intravenous injection of thrombosin.Model rats were randomly divided into three groups:A(n =25),EPCs group,1 ml 10~6 EPCs transplantation;B(n = 25),EGM-2MV medium group,1 ml EGM-2MV medium transplantation;C (n =25),control group,without any treatment.After transplantation,HE staining and immunohistochemical staining was conducted to detect recanalization of the inferior vena cava.Western blotting of inferior vena cava thrombosis was used to detect VEGF,bFGF protein expression changes.SPSS13.0 software was used for analysis.Results Compared with group B and C,VEGF,bFGF protein significantly increased in group A.The recanalization capillary density was significantly higher in group A than that in group B,and C (P ＜0.05).The neovascularization was identified by immunohistochemical staining using vWF antibody,as endothelial cells.Conclusions EPCs were the precursor of endothelial cells,when transplanted into the deep vein thrombos,initiating angiogenesis and accelerating organization and recanalization of vein thrombus.

Objective To investigate the effect of bone marrow derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC)transplantation on microenvironments in a murine model of chronic vein thrombosis.EPCs transplantation was evaluated whether it can up-regulate thrombus organization and recanalization associated cytokines(VEGF,ANG-1 and MCP-1). Method EPCs from immature Wister rats' bone marrow were isolated using a Ficoll density gradient centrifugation,and cultured in fibronectin-coated plate in EGM-2M Vmedium.EPCs were harvested on the 10th day,then were transplanted into chronic inferior vens cava thrombus of adult Wister rat through the femoral vein.Rats were divided into three groups:blank control group(group A,sham operation),the control group(group B,the medium injected)and the experimental group(group C,EPCs injected).The rats were sacrificed after 28 days.VEGF,ANG-1 and MCP-1 mRNA was measured by real-time quantitative PCR and protein expression change by Western blotting from IVC and thrombus tissue. Results EPCs were identificated successfullv by immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence and function,then were transplanted into chronic inferior vena cava thrombus of adult rats.After EPCs transplantation,the VEGF,ANG-1 and MCP-1 mRNA expression in group C expression was significantly up-regulated with statistical significance(P＜0.01)compared with group A and group B in IVC and thrombus tissue by real-time PCR.There was no significant difference between group A and group B (P＞0.05).VEGF,ANG-1 and MCP-1 protein expression were similar to mRNA expression.There was significant increase in group C compared to group A and group B(P＜0.01)and no statistical significance between group A and group B(P＞0.05).Conclusion EPCs deriving from bone marrow may change the microenvimnment of chronic vein thrombus through up-regulating thrombus organization and recanalization associated cytokines(VEGF,ANG-1 and MCP-1).

Objective To investigate the effect of proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle of 3-MA on rat endothelial progenitor cells. Methods Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells were isolated from rat bone marrow by ficoll. There were five groups. The control group and four 3-MA concentration groups: 1. 25 mmol/L,2. 5 mmol/L,5 mmol/L, 10 mmol/L. MTT was used to measure the proliferation of endothelial progenitor cells. Flow cytometry ( FCM) was used to detect cell apoptosis and cell cycle. Results (1)5 mmol/L 3-MA promotes proliferation of endothelial progenitor cells, while 10 mmol/L 3-MA inhibits the proliferation of endothelial progenitor cells (P ＜ 0. 05). (2) 10 mmol/L 3-MA promotes apoptosis of endothelial progenitor cells, compared with the control, the difference was significant ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). (3) 3-MA at the concentration of 5 mmol/L reduces cells at G0/G1 phase and increases S and G2/M phase cells; 10 mmol/L 3-MA induces endothelial progenitor cells blockade at S phase, G2/M phase cells decreased, compared with the control, the difference was significant (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions 5 mmol/L 3-MA promotes the proliferation of endothelial progenitor cells. 10 mmol/L 3-MA inhibits the proliferation and promotes apoptosis of endothelial progenitor cells.

Objective In embryology, the pancreas is formed by fusion of the ventral pancreas(VP) and the dorsal pancreas(DP) during the seventh week of gestation. The aim of this study was to clarify whether there were differences in the clinicopathological characteristics of the carcinoma of pancreatic head(PhCa) arising from the VP and DP. MethodsResected specimens from 43 cases with PhCa were studied histologically and immunohistochemically. The VP and DP were distinguished by islet shape and amount of cells producing pancreatic polypeptide(PP) in normal pancreatic parenchyma adjacent to the main tumor. ResultsThere were 20 cases of PhCa from VP(VP-group) and 23 cases of DP (DP-group) in this study. The prognosis of the 20 patients in VP-group was significantly better than that of the 23 in DP-group ( P
