On the fluorescent reaction of ethidium bromide binding double-stranded DNA after cell ly-sis has been used to develop a rapid fluorometric assay for cytotoxicity. By using this technique,the cytotoxic activity of effector cells against target cells can be assayed by measuring the fluo-rescent intensities of the residual target cell DNA and the control target cell DNA. Our experi-mental results show that the fluorescent intensity of the uninjured, residual K562 cell DNA is ininverse relation to the cytotoxic activity of NK cells after incubation of peripheral bloed lympho-cytes with K562 cells. for 20 hr, at a different ratio of effector cell to target cell. We detected thecytotoxic activities of NK cells of perpheral blood lymphocytes from 34 normal individuals and 30cancer patients, and their mean percentages of NK cytotoxicity were 51.96?6.62% and 25.02?10.83% respectively, and had much significant deviation statistically(P

Objective To compare and analyse the esthetic effect of four kinds of the porcelain fused to metal crowns (PFMs) in restoring anterior teeth. Methods Based on single standard, a total of 371 anterior teeth from 110 patients were restored by PFM, in which 206 teeth of 59 patients were restored with Ni-Cr alloy PFM, 105 teeth of 29 patients with full circular procelain shoulder PFM, 35 teeth of 16 patients with titanium metal PFM, and 25 teeth of 6 patients with noble metal PFM. The esthetic effect was examined and analysed by single-blind method in one week and after one year. Results Between three days and one week, there was no difference among four PFMs in shapes and colors, which corresponded with adjacent teeth. The edge suitability was good and no significance was found in them. After one year, there was no difference of four PFMs in shapes and colors, which corresponded with adjacent teeth. The edge suitability of noble metal PFM was better than the other three, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The esthetic effect is the best when noble metal PFM is used to restore anterior teeth and better with full circular procelain shoulder PFM.

Objective: To explore influence of bisoprolol on neuroendocrine factor levels in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), and its therapeutic effects.Methods: A total of 116 CHF patients, who were treated in our department from Jan 2014 to Nov 2015, were selected.According to random number table, they were randomly and equally divided into routine treatment group and bisoprolol group.Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd), 6min walking distance (6MWD), serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), endothelin (ET) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) before and three months after treatment, and therapeutic effect were compared between two groups.Results: There were no significant difference in above indexes between two groups before treatment, P>0.05 all.Compared with routine treatment group after three-month treatment, there were significant rise in LVEF [(28.13±4.16)% vs.(36.02±5.14)%] and 6MWD [(245.74±44.62)m vs.(315.23±53.12)m], significant reductions in LVEDd [(62.73±10.14)mm vs.(52.82±9.47)mm], serum levels of BNP [(424.51±62.26) ng/ml vs.(324.35±50.46) ng/ml], ET [(80.14±13.25) ng/ml vs.(57.91±10.32) ng/ml] and ANP [(233.24±42.35)ng/ml vs.(164.83±31.26) ng/ml] in bisoprolol group, P<0.05 all.Compared with routine treatment group, there was significant rise in total effective rate (72.4% vs.86.2%) in bisoprolol group, P=0.04.Conclusion: Bisoprolol can significantly reduce BNP, ET and ANP levels, then delay ventricular remodeling and improve cardiac function in patients with chronic heart failure.The therapeutic effect is significant, which is worth extending.

The hemodynamic mechanism has been considered to be the main factor related to the cerebral aneurismal growth and rupture. Virtual numerical research has become an important method for the study of cerebral aneurismal hemodynamics, which lead to a deep insight into the field of hemodynamic mechanism.We reviewed the correlative researches in this field during recent years and made a summarization concerning about, the relationship between intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics like velocity,wall tangential stress and pressure field under variable conditions and the biological behaviors such as growth and rupture of aneurysms; and further discussion on the topic of clinical application.

[Objective]To investigate the clinical effects of the treatment of thoracolurnbar fracture with pedicle screw system under endoscopy assisted X-tube system.[Method]Twenty-one cases of pure thracolumbar fracture without neural impairment were treated with pedicle screw system under endoscopy assisted X-tube system.With the image intensifier,the pedicle based in the affected segments were localized and exposed through 4 small incisions(3cm).Transpedicular fixation and reduction by endoscopy assisted X-tube system were performed through the 4 small incisions.[Result]Twenty-one cases were followed up for 12-18 months(averaged,14 months).Radiography showed good reduction fixation of the vertebral bodies,good correction of the kyphosis deformities and good restoration of lumbar motion.[Conclusion]The treatment of thoracolumbar fracture with pedicle screw system under endoscopy assisted X-tube system is indicated for thoracolumbar fracture without neural impairment.This technique has advantages of minimal invasion and early functional recovery.

ObjectiveTo establish nude mouse tumor models bearing human pancreatic adenocarcinoma SW1990 cells in multiple sites at different time-points and investigate the feasibiilty of multiple tumor-bearing in these models; then the findings and detection rate of 3.0T magnetic resonance image (MRI) in subcutaneous transplanted tumors was analyzed. Methods A total of 6 BALB/C nude mice were randomized into 3 groups (2 mice per group ).At the 1st,8th,15th day,the mice were injected subcutaneously with the suspension of SW1990 cells at left axilla and right axilla and right groin in sequence.Three weeks later,all the bearing-tumor mice were performed with MRI non-contrast enhanced scanning plus Gd-DTPA enhanced scan and the subcutaneous masses were subjected to pathological analysis.ResultsAll the 6 nude mice were alive during the study and obvious mass was observed in every injected site.The tumor size was positively associated with the grwing time.There were 9 tumors which could be de.ted by noncontrast enhanced MRI scanning and one more tumor was detected by contrast enhanced scanning.2 tumors were not detected,the 2 tumors were located at subcutaneous of right groin,with the shortest growing time,and the major axis of the 2 un-detected tumors was less than 5mm.Despite the MRI findings of the transplanted masses similar to that of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma with bleeding,necrosis,they presented the characteristics of a clear rim,with pseudocapeule sign.All the 12 masses were similar with human pancreatic adenocarcinoma under light microscope.ConclusionsIt is feasible to transplant human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell at three different subcutaneous sites (injected at three different points of time) in the nude mouse,with a minimal survival time of three weeks.However,routine 3.0T MRI cannot detect the early tumors (growing time within 1 week,major axis ＜5 mm).

BACKGROUND:It is controversial to treat sacroiliac joint fracture.Some scholars advocated expectant treatment,and some others advocated surgery therapy.Pelvic stability was responsible for the scheme selection.Sacroiliac joint fracture-dislocation destroys pelvic stability,which easily induces instability and bone nonunion,resulting in sacroiliac joint pain,unequal size of lower limbs,sitting pain and dysfunction.Thus,prognosis of mental implant is significantly better than expectant treatment in treatment of unstable pelvic fracture.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures and their clinical application using various internal and external fixation of metal implants.METHODS:The computer-based research was done in Pubmed database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed) and Wanfang database (http://www.wanfangdata.com.cn) for articles published from January 1991 to December 2009 with the key words of "Pelvic fractures,instability,surgical treatment" by the first author.A total of 115 articles were retrieved,and those concerning characteristics and clinical application of implants in the treatment of unstable pelvic fracture.Articles addressing old and repetitive contents were excluded.Literatures of the same fields published in recent years or in authorized journals were selected.Finally,30 articles were included.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Sacroiliac joint fracture-dislocation is a severe,high-energy trauma,has been paid great attention in the therapy,particularly in unstable sacroiliac joint fracture-dislocation.A stable type of fracture and dislocation of the sacroiliac joint received a conservative treatment of unstable sacroiliac joint fracture-dislocation appropriate line of external fixation,internal fixation for reconstruction of pelvic stability and internal fixation treatment varied,but the therapeutic effect of internal fixation needs to be improved.What are bio-mechanical characteristics of various internal fixation methods,and how the timing of weight-bearing activities following various internal fixations require further basic and clinical studies.An unstable sacroiliac joint fracture-dislocation fixation has many ways,including the anterior and posterior fixed-fixed.Minim ally invasive therapy such as posterior CT guided sacroiliac joint lag screw is the developmental trend.

BACKGROUND: Using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPU) to promote the repair of articular cartilage injury is very common,and we also have more options to choose the cytoskeleton, but the application conditions of LIPU and the appropriate cytoskeleton have not reached any consensus yet.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of establishing tissue-engineered cartilage by cell-free allograft demineralized bone matrix (CFDBM) co-cultured with rabbit cartilage cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro, and to investigate the effect of LIPU on the cells in CFDBM.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Multiple sample observation was performed at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLAfrom May to August 2009.MATERIALS: The CFDBM was prepared as modified Urist's method; the cartilage cells were obtained using mechanical disintegration and enzyme digestion; the BMSCs were separated using whole bone marrow rinsing method, purified, and amplified layer by layer.METHODS: As CFDBM With a composite of different cellular components, and whether applying LIPU stimulation, the samples were divided into four groups: chondrocyte group, BMSCs group, compound group (CFDBM was compounded with chondrocytes,BMSCs, and chondrocytes/BMSCs, respectively, without LIPU stimulation), and LIPU group (CFDBM was compounded with chondrocytes/BMSCs, and then the samples were stimulated with LIPU on the second day, 1.0 MHz frequency, 10 mW/cm~2 transient spatial intension, 20 min/d).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① the 2~(nd)-generation of cartilage cells and BMSCs were examined by immunohistochemical method; ② The CFDBM prepared as modified Urist's method was examined as HE staining; ③ The samples of four groups were examined by collagen II immunohistochemical staining on the 21~(st) day.RESULTS: ① The collagen II immunohistochemical staining of the second generation of the articular cartilage cells showed that the morphostructure was polygon, star or round, and pseudopodia extended, and the cells were rich in cytoplasm; the cytoplasm was brownish yellow, and the cell nuclear was round. ② The result of immunohistochemical staining of BMSCs showed that,CD34 was negative, CD44 and CD105 were positive. ③ In the center of CFDBM prepared as modified Urist's method, there was no obvious cell-like structure and the gap size was uniform. ④ On the 21~(st) day after combining CFDBM with cells, collagen II immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that BMSCs group was negative, chondrocyte group was weak positive, compoundgroup was positive, and the LIPU group was strongly positive.CONCLUSION: ① Biological property of the 1~(st)-3~(rd)-passage chondrocytes and BMSCs was similar to primary-cultured cells. ②Both chondrocytes and BMSCs had a highly proliferative ability in CFDBM. ③ 10 mW/cm~2 LIPU could not affect activity of BMSCs but could promote differentiation Into articular cartilage cells, and it also could not promote celt proliferation.
