BACKGROUND: Previous studies demonstrate that interleukin 1β(IL-1β) plays a great role in the degeneration of articular cartilage in knee joints which was caused by the anterior cruciate lagement (ACL) rupture; however, the role of IL-1β in the degeneration of lateral meniscus remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes and significance of the expression of IL-1βin the lateral meniscus of rabbits with ACL rupture. METHODS: A total of 48 male, New Zealand, white rabbits, were matched mode pairs and prepared for ACL rupture models. In the experimental side, the ateral meniscus of rabbits was cut down to prepare ACL rupture models, simultaneously, the control sides were exposed without cut down. A total of 12 rabbits were secdficed under anesthesia at weeks 1, 3, 6 and 8 after model preparation. Degeneration scores of lateral meniscus and expression of IL-1β in lateral meniscus were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With time prolonged, the scores of lateral meniscus degeneration were increased, which was higher in the experimental group than those in the control group at each time points (P < 0.05). The positive rate of IL-1β was greater in experimental group than that in the control group (P < 0.05). In addition, the positive rate of IL-1β in the experimental group was greater at weeks 3 and 6 than weeks 1 and 8 (P < 0.05), which was higher in week 8 than week 1 (P < 0.05). The results demonstrated that the highly expressed IL-1β in the experimental sides hints that IL-1β maybe a promotional factor which causes the degeneration of lateral meniscus. The decreasing of the expression of IL-1β is not a stopping signs of lateral meniscus degeneration.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of different dosages of oxycodone plus acetaminophen for treating acute pain after oral surgery,in order to provide a reasonable dosage of combination in clinic. Methods Randomized controlled trials ( RCTs ) on effect of combination of oxycodone plus acetaminophen on pain relief after oral operation were searched from the following data-bases:PubMed,EMbase,MEDLINE ( Ovid) ,the Cochrane Library,CNKI,and WANFANG from the date of their establishment to January 2015. The data of RCTs meeting the inclusive criteria were extracted according to Cochrane methods by two reviewers independently,and after the quality was evaluated and cross-checked,meta-analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.2 software. Results A total of 11 studies in 10 literatures involving 1 028 patients were included and were designated to 3 different dosage groups (5 mg/325 mg,10 mg/650 mg,10 mg/1 000 mg,respectively). The results of Meta-analyses showed that pain remission rate was significantly higher in the 3 different dosages of oxycodone plus acetaminophen groups than in the placebo group (RR5 mg/325 mg=3.35,95%CI [1.74,6.45],I2=38%,P=0.000 3;RR10 mg/650 mg=6.88,95%CI [4.00,11.83],I2=0%,P<0.000 01;RR10 mg/1 000 mg=4.94,95%CI [3.23,7.56],I2=81%,P=0.005). In additional,the RR of oxycodone 10 mg/acetaminophen 650 mg and placebo groups for pain remission rate was higher than that of the other 2 dosages groups,moreover,more studies were enrolled and its low heterogeneity led to high reliability. Usage rate of remedial painkillers was significally lower in oxycodone plus acetaminophen groups than in the placebo group (RR5mg/325mg=0.71,95%CI [0.60, 0.85],P<0.000 01;RR10mg/650mg=0.50,95%CI [0.41,0.61],P<0.000 01;RR10mg/1000mg=0.77,95%CI [0.66,0.90],P=0.001) ,In addition, the RRs of usage rate in oxycodone 10 mg/acetaminophen 650 mg and placebo groups were significantly lower than the other 2 dosages groups. Incidence rates of adverse effects were similar in the 3 different dosages groups and higher than that of the placebo group. However,the adverse events were generally described as mild to moderate in severity and rarely led to drug withdrawal according to all reports in the studies ( only one event ) . Conclusion The present study showed that combination of oxycodone plus acetaminophen can provide better analgesia in acute pain after oral surgery with high safety. In addition,combination of oxycodone 10 mg plus paracetamol 650 mg may be better for acute pain relief after oral surgery.

Objective To explore the effect of prevention and treatment on steroid-induced osteonecrosis of mice femoral head(ONFH) treated with metformin. Methods Thirty-six Kunming mice were randomly divided into three groups (n = 12):A (Control Group), B (Model Group)and C (Prevention Group). For producing ONFH mice models, did the intraperitoneal injection of horse serum (10 mL/kg) to B and C firstly. After two weeks, continuing the intraperitoneal injection of horse serum (5 mL/kg) again with the prednisolone intramuscularly [45 mL/(kg· day), totally for 5 days]. Meanwhile, feeding normal saline 10 mL/(kg·day) to B and feeding metformin hydrochloride [0.2 g/(kg·day)] to C. For A, mice were only given normal saline intramuscularly and intragastrically in equal quantity at the same time. The contents of serum cholesterol (TC), triglycerid (TG), plasma von willebrand factor (VWF) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) were determined at the 2nd, 4th and 6th week after treatment. The micewere sacrificed at 2nd, 4th, and 6th weekafter treatment, and femoral heads were harvested to do histopathology analysis. Results The appearance and shape of the femoral head and the surface of cartilages were normal. The percentage of empty osteocyte lacunae in B was significantly higher than that in C (P < 0.05), there was no significant difference between A and C (P>0.05). TC and TG contents in C were significantly lower than that in B in 2th、4th、6th weeek(P<0.05), and higher than that in A(P<0.05). VWF and PAI-1 level in C were significantly lower than that in B at 2nd and 4th week (P<0.05), but there were no statistical significance at 6th week. there were no statistical significance for the comparison between A and C. Conclusion Metformin can prevent steroid-induced ONFH by improving hyperlipemia, hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis, then effectively prevent osteonecrosis.
