Objective To investigate clinical outcomes and complications of isolated polyethylene liner exchange for revision total hip arthroplasty.Methods From April 1995 to December 2007,80 patients (93 hips) underwent revision total hip arthroplasty during which only polyethylene liner was exchanged with reservation of acetabular cup.There were 41 males and 39 females,aged from 27 to 82 years (average,53.3 years).The duration from the primary THA to the revision surgery ranged from 0.3 to 18.4 years (average,10.9 years).The reasons for liner exchange included:polyethylene wear with osteolysis (78 hips),polyethylene wear without osteolysis (5 hips),polyethylene wear with stem loosening (4 hips),recurrent dislocation (3hips),infection (1 hip),periprosthetic fracture (1 hip) and liner dislodgement (1 hip).Forty-seven liners were fixed into the old cup using cement,and 46 were fixed with the original locking mechanism.Sixty cross-linked polyethylene liners and 33 conventional polyethylene liners were used.Results All patients were followed up for 5 to 15 years (average,7 years).The average Harris hip score improved from preoperative 86.0±16.9 to 89.4±11.6 at final follow-up.Complications included dislocation (10 hips),infection (2 hips),periprosthetic fracture (1 hip) and liner dislodgement (1 hip).Ten hips underwent rerevision due to different reasons:cup exchange (5 hips),conventional polyethylene wear (2 hips),infection (2 hips) and liner dislodgement (1 hip).Using component loosening as the end point,the 10-year survival rate was 100% in the cement fixation group and 84.8% in the original locking group.Using rerevision as the end point,the 10-year survival rate was 90.4% in the cement fixation group and 65.0% in the original locking group.Conclusion Liner exchange either with cement or original locking mechanism is a safe and successful method.Highly cross-linked polyethylene has a higher wear resistance,which can reduce incidence of osteolysis and improve survival rate of prosthesis.

BACKGROUND:Posterior dislocation after total hip replacement is one of the most common complications that second only to loosen, and can affect the stability of the hip joint seriously. There is controversy on the effect of femoral head diameter and acetabular anteversion on the stability of hip joint in clinical study. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of the femoral head diameter and acetabular anteversion on the stability of hip joint after hip prosthesis replacement. METHODS:The femoral head diameter and acetabular anteversion that affect the posterior instability after hip prosthesis replacement were measured on the cadaveric bone. The acetabular shel was inserted at 0°-20° of anteversion at five degree intervals. The femoral heads with different diameters (28, 32 and 36 mm) were used for experiment, the internal rotation degrees to dislocation caused by hip at 90° flexion and 0° adduction and at 90° flexion and 30° adduction were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:When the cup anteversion varied from 0° to 15°, there was an increase in the degree of internal rotation angle that could cause hip dislocation with the increasing of femoral head diameter (P<0.05). When the cup anteversion varied from 15° to 20°, the increasing trend was not significant. With the hip at 90° flexion and 0° adduction, and the cup anteversion varied from 15° to 20°, the stability of 36 mm group was significantly higher than that of the 28 mm and 32 mm groups (P<0.01);the stability of 32 mm group was higher than that of 28 mm group when the acetabular anteversion in 10° or more (P<0.05);there was no significant difference in stability between groups when the anteversion less than 10°. With the hip at 90° flexion and 30° adduction, the stability of 36 mm group was significantly higher than that of the 28 mm and 32 mm groups (P<0.01);the stability of 32 mm group was higher than that of 28 mm group when the acetabular anteversion in 10° or more (P<0.05);there was no significant difference in stability between groups when the anteversion less than 10°. The results indicate that the increasing of acetabular anteversion can reduce the occurrence of dip dislocation, but when it is difficult to choice the acetabular anteversion, large-diameter femoral head is preferred to increase the stability of hip joint.

The effects of leptin on cytotrophoblast proliferation and invasion activity were investigated. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the placental expression of leptin in first-trimester pregnancy. By using RT-PCR and quantitative real-time PCR, the expression of leptin in cytotrophoblast and the effect of leptin on cytotrophoblast secretion were detected. The potential of cell proliferation, invasiveness and migration was assessed by MTT, Transwell invasion assay and migration assay respectively when the cytotrophoblast was cultured with different concentrations of leptin. The results showed that: (1) Leptin was distributed diffusely around cell membrane, in cytoplasma, and on nuclear membrane of cytotrophoblast; (2) Leptin mRNA was expressed in cytotrophoblast. Ten ng/mL leptin could promote the secretion of cytotrophoblast significantly (P<0.01); (3) After culture with different concentrations of leptin for 24 h or longer, the proliferation of cytotrophoblast was inhibited, while in 24 h leptin could promote cytotrophoblast invasion and migration. Leptin at a concentration of 500 ng/mL could promote cytotrophoblast invasiveness and migration significantly as compared with controls (P<0.05). It was suggested that leptin could inhibit cytotrophoblast proliferation, and promote cytotrophoblast invasion and migration activity.

This study examined the association of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a promoter of angiogenesis, with endothelium dysfunction in preeclampsia. The level of VEGF protein and mRNA in the placenta and peripheral blood samples of 30 preeclampsia patients and 30 normotensive pregnant women was measured by immunohistochemistry, real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. VEGF expression in the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was blocked by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The monolayer barrier function of HUVECs was determined by measuring the fluorescence intensity of BSA that crossed the HUVEC monolayers. The cell proliferation and cell-secreted nitric oxide (NO) level were detected by MTT method and nitrate reductase assay, respectively. The results showed that VEGF was expressed in the syncytiotrophoblasts and endothelial cells of vessels and capillaries in the placenta tissue. The serum level of VEGF in the preeclampsia patients was significantly decreased as compared with that in normal pregnant subjects, although VEGF mRNA expression in the placenta tissue of preeclampsia patients remained still high. Moreover, VEGF deficit could lead to endothelium cell dysfunction, and the administration of VEGF could protect endothelium cells from injury. It was concluded that lack of VEGF contributes to endothelium dysfunction, which may lead to the occurrence and development of preeclampsia.

Objective:To study the role of adhesion molecules in the pathogenesis of polymyositis. Methods:The abnormal expression of adhesion molecules on T cells in peripheral blood and muscle fibers from patients with myositis was analyzed by two colour immunofluoresence and RT PCR methods respectively. Results:The expression of adhesion molecules including lymphocyte function associated antigen 1(LFA 1 ),very late antigen 4(VLA 4) on T cells in peripheral blood and intercellular adhesion molecule l(ICAM 1) on muscle fibers from patients with myositis was markedly higher than that in the healthy control group. Conclusion: These findings suggested that adhesion molecules may be responsible for the migration of T cells and destraction of muscle fibers.

The mechanism of injury on the human glomerular endothelial cells (ciGENC) induced by preeclampsia serum was investigated. Concentration of maternal serum sFlt-1 protein was detected by ELISA. Fluorescently-labeled bovine serum albumin infiltrating through lower chamber of Transwell was measured by multifunction microplate reader. Morphologic change of ciGENC was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope. The concentration of sflt-1 in preeclampsia groups was significantly increased as compared with control group (P<0.01). Permeability in preeclampsia groups was significantly increased as compared with control group (P<0.01). By contrast with severe preeclampsia group, the permeability of ciGENC monolayer in mild preeclampsia group was decreased significantly (P<0.05). Intervention of exogenous VEGF significantly decreased permeability of ciGENC in preeclampsia groups. It was concluded that sFlt-1 increased ciGENC permeability by damaging integrity of endothelial barrier function.
