Presently,studies of onset,development and tumor drug resistance of osteosarcoma were few.Further studies on tumor animal models can provide a promising basis for treating osteosarcoma.Commonly used animal models of osteosarcoma include mouse,rat,rabbit and dog.Organs of rats are similar to human,so does genotype.Dogs can spontaneously develop osteosarcoma,which is similar to human,and are frequently used as spontaneous tumor models.However,there are some differences in biological features,pathogenic mechanism and histology.With the development of studying,there will be more and more new animal models in accordance with human osteosarcoma characteristics.The present study served to review methods of establishing models,characteristics and detailed application of animal models of osteosarcoma.

Objective To determine the intra-and inter-tester reliability of a dynamometer in assessment of knee joint position senses (JPS).Methods Sixteen healthy volunteers (intra-rater N =6,inter-rater N =10) were examined with regard to intra-and inter-tester reliability of knee JPS by using Biodex System 3 dynamometer,measured by passive replication test,with subjects passively returning to the initial positions at 30°,45° and 60° knee flexion.The absolute error (AE) angle was recorded.Both intra-and inter-tester reliability studies involved two testers.Results The intra-tester reliability of the AE were moderate reliable at 30°,45°and 60° knee flexion,and the values of intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) were 0.728,0.780 and 0.807,respectively.The values of Pearson's correlation coefficients for inter-tester reliability were 0.676,0.610 and 0.705,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference between the AE values of dominance and non-dominant knees,test and retest,and in the AE values of 30°,45°and 60° knee flexion (P ＞ 0.05).The 95％ confidence upper limits of all subjects' AE values were less than 3°.Conclusion The major findings of this study suggest that the test-retest reliability of the knee JPS were moderate using Biodex System 3 dynamometer,and selecting a target angle of passive replication test can achieve the same purpose in 30° to 60°knee flexion.The clinical significance should be taken into consideration when the AE changes were greater than 3 degrees.

Objective To observe and compare the functional outcomes of early rehabilitation of persons who received primary bilateral or unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods Sixty-eight subjects were divided into a unilateral TKA group (36 cases) and a bilateral TKA group (32cases).All received the same professional rehabilitation program during an average postoperative hospital stay of (15.00 ± 3.71 ) days.At discharge,a visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to rate pain.Active range of motion (AROM) of the involved knee,knee injury and an osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) were also assessed.The KOOS and knee society score (KSS) were evaluated at follow-up about 11 months later.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in any assessment at discharge,nor in the KOOS and KSS-Ⅰ assessments at follow-up.The KOOS of both groups at follow-up had improved significantly compared with that at discharge.The KSS-Ⅱ results in the bilateral group were slightly better than those in the unilateral group at follow-up,and that difference was significant.Conclusions Bilateral TKA patients and unilateral TKA patients had the same clinical outcomes after early postoperative rehabilitation,but the functional outcomes of bilateral TKA patients were better than those of unilateral TKA patients a year later.

In the development of radio frequency (RF) coils for better quality of the mini-type permanent magnetic resonance imager for using in the small animal imaging, the solenoid RF coil has a special advantage for permanent magnetic system based on analyses of various types.of RF coils. However, it is not satisfied for imaging if the RF coils are directly used. By theoretical analyses of the magnetic field properties produced from the solenoid coil, the research direction was determined by careful studies to raise further the uniformity of the magnetic field coil, receiving coil sensitivity for signals and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The method had certain advantages and avoided some shortcomings of the other different coil types, such as, birdcage coil, saddle shaped coil and phased array coil by using the alloy materials (from our own patent). The RF coils were designed, developed and made for keeled applicable to permanent magnet-type magnetic resonance imager, multi-coil combination-type, single-channel overall RF receiving coil, and applied for a patent. Mounted on three instruments (25 mm aperture, with main magnetic field strength of 0.5 T or 1.5 T, and 50 mm aperture, with main magnetic field strength of 0.48 T), we performed experiments with mice, rats, and nude mice bearing tumors. The experimental results indicated that the RF receiving coil was fully applicable to the permanent magnet-type imaging system.
