To discover novel antitumor rhodanine unsaturated ketones, a series of fluoroquinolone (rhodanine α, β-unsaturated ketone) amine derivatives (5a-5r) were designed and synthesized with fluoroquinolone amide scaffold as a carrier. The structures of eighteen title compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and MS. The in vitro anti-proliferative activity against Hep-3B, Capan-1 and HL60 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. The results showed that the title compounds not only had more significant anti-proliferative activity against three tested cancer cell lines than that of the parent ciprofloxacin 1, but also exhibited the highest activity against Capan-1 cells. The SAR revealed that some compounds carrying aromatic heterocyclic rings or phenyl attached to an electron-withdrawing carboxyl or sulfonamide substituent were comparable to or better than comparison doxorubicin against Capan-1 cells. As such, it suggests that fluoroquinolone (rhodanine α, β-unsaturated ketone) amines are promising leads for the development of novel antitumor fluoroquinolones or rhodanine analogues.

Objective To investigate the effects of ischemic preconditioning on pneumocyte apoptosis and the expression of HSFT0 after lung isehemia-reperfusion(I/R) in rats and discuss its possible mechanism of extenu-ating ischemia-repedusion injury. Method Thirtysix male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups [ sham operation(SO ) group, ischemia-teperfusion(L/R) group, and ischemic preconditioning(IP) group],twelve in each group. Lung croas-clamping was used to build the L/R model. In IP group, three cycles of 5-minute-ischemia + 5-minute-reperfusion were given to the pulmonary artery before the procedure. Sham operation rats had a thoracotomy only. Two hours(or five hours) reperfusion was given to both L/R and IP group. Tenninal-deoxynucleotidyl Transferase Mediated d-UTP Nick End Labeiing(TUNEL) was used to evaluate apoptosis. Expression of HSP/0 in lung was observed by immunohistochemical stain and image analysis. Index of quantitative assessment of histologic lung injury(IQA), wet to dry weight ratio(W/D) were measured. The pathological change of lung tissue was observed under both hght and electron microscopy. Statistical analysis was carried out by One-way Anova. Scheffe test was used for intragroup comparison. Results The apoptosis index and expression of HSP70、W/D,IQA of hng tissue in I/R group were higher than those in the sham operation group (P<0.01). Compared with the L/R group, the apoptosis index and expression of HSP70, W/D, IQA of lung tissue significantly decreased (P<0.01), the levels of expression of HSPTO increased significantly in IP group ( P<0.01 ). The pathological and ultrastructure change of lung tissue was better in IP group than those in I/R group. Condusions Ischemic preconditioning can extenuate lung I/R injury by the possible mechanism of increasing the expression of HSPT0 which inhibits the apoptosis during lung I/R injury.

To discover an efficient strategy for the conversion of the antibacterial activity of fluoroquinolones into the antitumor activity, the three series of C-3 s-triazole-based derivatives including sulfide ketones (6a-6g), thiosemicarbazones (7a-7g) and fused heterocyclic thiazolotriazoles (8a-8g) were synthesized from ciprofloxacin (1), respectively. The structures were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral data. The antitumor activity was tested against three tumor cell lines (Hep-3B, Capan-1 and HL60) using the MTT assay. The three types of compounds all exhibited stronger anti-proliferative activities than ciprofloxacin in the test. The order of their activities was in compounds 7>8>6, and the order of selectivity against cancer cell lines was Capan-1, Hep-3B and HL60. Meanwhile, the SAR revealed that some compounds with electron-drawing group substituted such as fluoro- and nitro-phenyl compounds (6f, 7f, 8f) and (6g, 7g, 8g) displayed more significant activity than the control compounds, especially the IC50 values of thiosemicarbazone compounds 7f and 7g against Capan-1 was comparable to doxorubicin. Thus, a five-membered triazole as the C-3 bioisostere modified with the functionalized side-chain of sulfide-ketone thiosemicarbazone warrants special attention and further investigation.

To search for fluoroquinolones(FQs)with antitumor activity;the C-3 carboxylic acid group of peflox-acin (1)was replaced by fused heterocyclic core;and twelve novel thiazolo[3;2-b][1;2;4]triazole heterocycles(6a-6l)were designed and synthesized.The structures of target compounds were characterized by elemental anal-ysis and spectral data.The results of the in vitro antiproliferative effect on SMMC-7721;L1210 and HL60 cell lines showed that the title compounds exhibited more significant antitumor activity than both of the pefloxacin and the corresponding opening-ring intermediates(5 a-5 l).Among them;the target compounds which possess a ben-zene ring bearing a hydroxyl group (6e)or a fluorine atom (6j)exhibited more potent antiproliferative effect on SMMC-7721 cells than other compounds.Therefore;the antitumor fluoroquinolones can be designed by replacing the C-3 carboxylic acid group of fluoroquinolones with the thiazolo[3;2-b][1;2;4]triazole moiety.

Objective:To compare the difference of LLD (leg length discrepancy) between robot-assisted and conventional methods of total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods:Data of 38 patients who had THA performed by robot-assisted or conventional methods from January 2019 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 38 cases (54 hips) in robot-assisted THA group (robot group) with 18 males and 20 females (age 53.5±13.6 years, BMI 26.2±3.4 kg/m 2), and there were 21 cases (32 hips) with osteonecrosis of the femoral head, 17 cases (22 hips) with Crown typeⅠandⅡdevelopmental dysplasia of the hip. There were 38 cases (54 hips) in conventional THA group (conventional group), with 19 males and 19 females, (age 52.3±14.7 years old, BMI 25.7±2.9 kg/m 2), and there were 19 cases (30 hips) with developmental dysplasia of the hip, and 19 cases (24 hips) with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The operative time, postoperative LLD, Harris score, forgotten joint score-12 (FJS-12) and the difference between preoperative and postoperative LLD between the two groups were compared, and the correlation between surgical methods and the change of hip length was also evaluated. Results:The operation time of the robot group was 73.3±14.1 min and which was 59.3±12.6 min in conventional THA group ( t=2.732, P=0.003). In the robot group, the postoperative LLD was 2.3±3.4 mm, which was less than that of the conventional group 6.7±5.4 mm ( t=3.521, P < 0.001). When the absolute value of LLD was larger than 5 mm as an abnormal value, it was 2.6% (1/38) in the robot group and 47.3% (18/38) in the conventional group. The difference of hip length (HL) in planning and post-operation in the robot group was 2.8±2.2 mm, which was smaller than that in the conventional THA group 7.9±5.3 mm ( t=2.357, P < 0.001). In addition, there was a correlation between the change of hip length results and the postoperative measurement of hip length in the robot group ( r=0.983, P < 0.001). At the last follow-up, Harris score and FJS-12 were recorded in the robot group and coventional group. The scores were 83.1±5.3 and 32.5±4.9 respectively in the robot group, 82.9±7.2 and 31.9±6.7 in the conventional group, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( t=0.221, 0.356; P=0.819, 0.731). Postoperative bleeding occurred in 1 case in the robot group with postoperative suture healed well. The fracture of the posterior wall of the acetabulum was found in the conventional group and the patient avoids weight bearing 4 weeks after operation. The postoperative recovery was good and no other related complications were found. Conclusion:Robot-assisted THA can accurately restore the length of both legs and reduce LLD compared with conventional THA. The real-time monitoring of LLD during robot operation can give the operator an accurate reference.

To discover novel antitumor fluoroquinolone lead compounds from a rational modification for antibacterial fluoroquinolones, a fused heterocyclic ketone corresponding to thiazolo[2,3- b][1,2,4]triazolone used as a bioisosteric replacement of the C-3 carboxylic acid group of ciprofloxacin 1, and further modification by a Claisen condensation reaction with substituted benzaldehydes formed novel fluoroquinolone C-3 fuse heterocyclic α, β-unsaturated ketones as the title compounds (6a-6r), separately. The structures of eighteen title compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and MS, and the in vitro anti-proliferative activity against human hepatoma Hep-3B cells, pancreatic Capan-1 cells and leukemia HL60 cells was evaluated by a MTT assay. The preliminary results showed that the title compounds not only had more significant anti-proliferative activity against three tested cancer cell lines than that of the parent ciprofloxacin 1, but also exhibited the highest activity against Capan-1 cells. In particular, compounds carrying an electron-withdrawing carboxyl (6k, 6m) or sulfonamide substituent (6q, 6r) attached to benzene ring were comparable to or better than constractive drug doxorubicin against Capan-1 cells. As such, it suggests that it is favorable for a fused heterocyclic α, β-unsaturated ketone scaffold instead of the C-3 carboxylic acid group to improve the antitumor activity of fluoroquinolones.

Objective To design a patient-specific distal femoral cutting guide for total knee arthroplasty using rapid prototyping and 3D printing technology and compare with conventional instrumentation.Methods A prospective self-control study was performed in 32 patients who underwent bilateral total knee arthroplasty between March 2015 and November 2015 in our department.The bilateral knee joints were randomly divided into patient-specific guide group and traditional surgery group.The patient-specific guide group obtained CT data of the lower extremities preoperatively.Patient-specific distal femoral cutting guides were designed and manufactured using rapid prototyping and 3D printing techniques.The traditional surgery group were performed using conventional instrumentation.The operation time of the two groups was recorded,and the amount of distal femoral osteotomy was measured.Postoperative alignments were measured including the angle of the lower limb mechanical axis angle (hipknee-ankle Angle,HKA),the mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA),and the mechanical proximal tibial angle (mMPTA).In different follow-up points Hospital for Specific Surgery scores of the knee were recorded.Results In the coronal position,the postoperative mLDFA was 90.34°± 1.6° in the patient-specific guide group and 91.37°± 1.8° in the conventional surgery group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-2.452,P=0.020).In the patient-specific guide group,the HKA angle was 0.36°±2.35°,and the conventional surgery group was 0.87°±1.85°.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-2.332,P=0.043).If preoperative mLDFA≤93°,there was no significant difference in postoperative mLDFA between the two groups (t=-1.409,P ＞ 0.05).If preoperative mLDFA ＞ 93°,there was a significant difference in postoperative mLDFA between the two groups (t=-4.145,P=0.004).In addition,the operation time of the patient-specific guide group was significantly shorter (t=-2.425,P ＜ 0.05),but the two groups did not have significant functional differences in the early postoperative period.Conclusion The 3D-printed patient-specific distal femoral cutting guide can significantly shorten the operation time and improve postoperative alignments.It is simple to operate.However,large sample sizes and long-term follow-up studies are still needed to verify their long-term effects.

OBJECTIVE[corrected] To investigate the mutation at the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) nucleotide 1138 site for identifying the major pathologic mechanism of achondroplasia (ACH) and to evaluate the efficacy of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis(DGGE) method for screening the point mutations.

METHODSThe genomic DNA from 17 clinically diagnosed ACH patients where analysed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) with Sfc I and Msp I restriction endonucleases and by PCR-DGGE technique for screening.

RESULTSG to A transition mutation at nucleotide 1138 was detected in 14/17 of the ACH patients as heterozygotes by PCR-RFLP with Sfc I digestion. No 1138 G to C transition was detected by Msp I digestion. All of the 14 samples with G to A mutation were also found to be positive for point mutation by PCR-DGGE. No mutation was detected in 3 negative samples by PCR-RFLP, implying that there was actually no point mutation in this amplified region.

CONCLUSIONNucleotide 1138 in transmembrane domain of FGFR3 gene is the hot point for mutation in ACH and hence its major pathologic cause. PCR-DGGE is a sensitive and reliable technique for point mutation screening, especially for the heterozygotes.
