BACKGROUND:Recently, the biodegradable materials with good biocompatibility and with no adverse reaction have been widely applied in the clinical treatment and care of gynecology and obstetrics. The development of the biodegradable material is very rapid. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the application of biodegradable materials in gynecology and obstetrics. METHODS: The first author searched PubMed and CNKI databases for articles related to biodegradable materials in gynecology and obstetrics using the keywords of “degraded materials, biodegradable materials, gynecological care, surgery” in Chinese and English respectively. This article has an outlook of the potential application in gynecology and obstetrics based on clinical experience. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Biodegradable materials with good biocompatibility and biological security play an important role in biomedical materials. Their polymers and degradation products show smal adverse reactions to the body, and have good biomechanical properties, physical and chemical properties and good workability, which have been widely used in gynecology and obstetrics, such as absorbable stylolite and tampon tape. Although we have made a great progress on the biomaterial research, it stil has the limitation and safety flaws in the clinic. As the biomaterial research is further developed, the biomaterial application prospect wil be more promising.

AIM To explore the effects of trip-tolide on endothelin-1 and its gene expression in lung of asthmatic guinea-pigs. METHODS The contents of ET-1 in lung of asthmatic guinea-pigs were measured with radioimmunoassay, and the expressions of ET-1, ETA, ETB and ECEmRNA with reverse transcription DNA polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS 0 All of the indexes were increased after guinea-pigs were induced asthma. At the 4th hour after first induction of asthma, ET-1 reached the top, but at the 2rd hour, ET-1mRNA, ETAmRNA and ECEmRNA were markedly higher than control group (P

The partial segment of Marek′s disease virus (MDV) glycoprotein B (gB) gene was amplified by PCR. The segment was cloned into pET-28a vector to obtain the recombinant pET-gB plasmid. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21,and expressed in very high level as inclusion body after induced with 1.0mmol/L IPTG. The inclusion body was solubilized in urea (8mol/L) . The purified protein was obtained by use of His?Bind affinity chromatography. Mice were immunized i.p. by the purified protein to make the polyclonal antibody. The titer of the antibody by indirect ELISA was 1?10~ -5 . Moreover, the analysis by western blot proved that antibody was specific to the recombinant protein. These works lay a favorable foundation for the study of the immune response by MDV gB.

Objective To explore the nursing measures of patients with pure diffuse axonal injury (DAI)treated by multi-step sub-hypothermia therapy.Methods The nursing care of pure DAI patients treated by multi-step sub-hypothermia therapy,which included the traumatic condition evaluation before treatment,the nursing care during treatment,the nursing care after treatment but also in coma,and the nursing care after palinesthesia.Results The intracranial pressure and concentration and lactic acid in blood and cerebrospinal fluid alleviated.The forehead expanded.The disability rating scale(DRS)decreased.While the incidence of sub-hypothermia related complications did not increased.Conclusions The elaborative nursing care aiming at different pathogenetic conditions,different stages is the first guarantee in the treatment of pure DAI with multi-step sub-hypothermia therapy.

Objective To investigate outcomes of different surgical approaches for treating cases of fracture and dislocation of the lower cervical spine.Methods The study involved 26 cases of fracture and dislocation of the lower cervical spine treated surgically from December 2002 to January 2012,including 19 males and 7 females with age ranging from 27 to 62 years (average 39 years).According to the AO classification,there were 12 cases of type B3.1,three of type B3.2,two of type C2.1,three of type C3.1,and six of type C3.2.Preoperative spinal cord function graded by Frankel criteria was six cases of grade A,five of grade B,seven of grade C,six of grade D,and two of grade E.Conventional skull traction was done for all patients before operation.Vertebral cannal decompression and interbody fusion through anterior,posterior or anterior-posterior approaches were determined according to type of fracture dislocation and severity of spinal cord injury.Radiography was performed regularly after operation to review the correction of dislocation,restoration of vertebral height,and interbody fusion.Spinal cord function was also evaluated postoperatively.Results No large blood vessel injury or aggravation of spinal cord injury occurred intraoperatively.There were no complications of incision infection,leakage of cerebrospinal fluid,herniation of bone graft or implant breakage postoperatively.All cases obtained successful correction of fracture and dislocation of the lower cervical spine as well as the recovery of cervical sequence,physiological curvature,and vertebral height in the 12 to 24 months of follow-up (average 16 months).Bony fusion was obtained for all cases at postoperative 3-6 months (average 3.5 months).Spinal function evaluated by Frankel criteria at the latest follow-up showed was grade A in six cases,grade B in three,grade C in five,grade D in five and grade E in seven,with different degree of improvement for all cases.Conclusions Operative approaches should be selected according to the specific status of fracture and dislocation of the lower cervical spine.Anterior approach can be performed for vertebral or intervertebral disc injury straightly and the procedure handles cervical instability immediately.Posterior surgical approach can be used to settle dislocation and interlocking of the articular process directly,but the intervertebral disc injury should be ruled out simultaneously in order to avoid further injury of spinal cord during the reduction process.Combined anterior and posterior surgical approach can be applied to treat fracture and dislocation of lower cervical spine and intervertebral disc injury concurrently but has high risk and large operation wound.

BACKGROUND:The age, complication, injury to operation time, and pain level are important factors that affect patients with postoperative mortality, but many scholars disagree. Factors affecting death in elderly patients after femoral head replacement stil need further study. OBJECTIVE:To observe factors related to the survival status of elderly patients within 1 year after receiving femoral head replacement. METHODS:A total of 96 elderly patients receiving femoral head replacement at Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from January 2011 to January 2014 were selected. On admission, patients’ age, sex, time from injury to operation, injury to admission time, pain classification, admission hemoglobin, serum albumin content of admission, admission lymphocyte count, and the amount of blood transfusion and preoperative complications were recorded. Fisher test was used to analyze the factors affecting survival status within 1 year after replacement in patients with femoral head replacement using one-way analysis of variance. Multivariate Cox test was utilized to perform multi-factor analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The injury to hospital time was > 5 days. Pain classification was grades III and IV. The hemoglobin content was < 120 g/L on admission. The volume of blood transfusion was > 1 000 mL. Serum albumin content was < 35 g/L, which was associated with the increased mortality (P < 0.05). The mortality was significantly higher in patients with more than 86 years old than in patients with 70-85 years old (P < 0.05). The mortality of patients with the time from injury to operation > 7 days was significantly higher than patients with the time from injury to operation < 7 days (P < 0.05). The serum albumin content < 35 g/L and grades III and IV of ASA classification were factors related to patient’s death (P < 0.05). Results confirm that the risk factors for survival status within 1 year of femoral head replacement contain intraoperative volume of blood transfusion, admission to operation time, hemoglobin content, and grading of pain.
