Objective To study the curative efficacy of arthroscopic debridement in the management of osteoarthritis of the knee. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical records of 44 cases of knee osteoarthritis (62 knee joints) treated with arthroscopic debridement. Results All the patients were followed for 2~2.5 years. The rates of excellent or good results were 85.5% (53/62) at 6 months after the surgery, 77.4% (48/62) at 1 year after the surgery, and 66.1% (41/62) at 2 years, respectively. The curative results were significantly worse at 2 years after the surgery than at 6 months ( ? 2=6.332, P =0.012). Conclusions Arthroscopic debridement is effective for the relief of painful and swollen knee joint, and postpones the appearance of articular cartilage degeneration. The efficacy of the treatment is apparent in mild cases, but the treatment will be less effective as time goes on.

AIM: To investigate the effects of transforming growth factor ?1 (TGF-?1) on murine-derived dendritic cells (DC). METHODS: Murine bone marrow cells were cultured with GM-CSF and TGF-?1 to develop TGF ?-DC. Then they were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Their phenotypes were assessed by flow cytometry (FCM). The allogeneic stimulating capacity of DC was measured by mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) using BrdU ELISA method. IL-12 p70 protein was detected by ELISA and the expressions of Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) on DCs were measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and FCM. RESULTS: Compared to immature DC (imDC) cultured with GM-CSF alone, the expressions of CD_80, CD_86, I-A~b and CD_40 in TGF ?-DC were lower. The TGF ?-DC was resistant to maturation by LPS. Maturation resistance was evident from a failure to up-regulate CMs, to stimulate larger T cell proliferation and to increase secretion of IL-12 p70. Down-regulation of TLR4 expression on TGF ?-DC was also found. CONCLUSION: TGF-?1 inhibits the expression of co-stimulatory molecules on DC. It is resistant to maturation stimulus (LPS) and might be linked with TLR4 down-regulation.

AIM: To characterize the gene expression of sortilin on adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro and explore its significance.METHODS: MSCs derived from human bone marrow were isolated and cultured in vitro ,then were stimulated in osteogenic medium and adipogenic medium,respectively. Osteopontin and lipoprotein lipase were detected by RT-PCR. Sortilin expression was analyzed by semiquantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS: 1.MSCs displayed the potential of differentiation into osteoblast and adipocyte. 2.Sortilin was upregulated one day after osteogenic induction and remained upregulated for a week. The expression of sortilin was significant increased on day 3( P 0.05).CONCLUSION: Sortilin may be useful to modulate the osteogenic differentiation and may not be necessary for adipocyte commitment in MSCs. The regulation of sortilin expression may provide new protocal and strategy for the treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenic disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) on pregnancy and delivery outcomes of patients with cervical epithelial neoplasia (GIN). Method The delivery data of 27 pregnant women who had LEEP from May 1995 to April 2002 were retrospectively collected and analysed. Results The mean age of the 27 women was 30. 3 years ( range 23 -40 years). Ten women underwent artificial abortion. One ectopic pregnancy and two spontaneous miscarriages occurred at 6 to 8 weeks of gestation. There were 14 term pregnancies, 9 of them via vaginal delivery and 5 via caesarean section. The birth weight of newborns ranged from 2905 to 4000 g. All of newborns had a high Apgar score. No asphyxia occurred. Conclusions LEEP is a safe and effective treatment for patients with CIN. It will not increase the risk of pregnancy and delivery of the patients.

Objective To develop allele specific oligonucleotide(ASO) -PCR assay based on TCR βgene rearrangements and provide a screening method for minimal residual disease (MRD) in adult patients with T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).Methods DNA samples from newly diagnosed 20 adult T-ALL patients were obtained.The TCR β gene rearrangements were detected by multiplex PCR,which included 38 paired of primers in 3 reaction tubes.Gel electrophoresis and two-color Gene Scanning was also applied for clonality analysis of TCR β followed by sequencing and subsequent blasting for monoclonal PCR products in four patients.ASO primers were designed based on the sequence of junction regions.MRD were detected in the bone marrow by RQ-PCR with ASO upstream primers, consensus Jβprobes and downstream primers.Results The detection rate of the clonal TCR β rearrangements was 85.0% (17/20).At least one complete Vβ-Jβ rearrangement could be detected at the time of diagnosis in 16 out of 17 patients(94.1%, 16/17).Incomplete Dβ-Jβ rearrangement could be detected in 7 patients (41.2% ,7/17).The positivitity rate of Vβ-Jβ to Dβ-Jβ was 2∶1 (94.1% versus 41.2% ).Two-color Gene Scanning analysis showed the Jβ2 family was used more frequently than the Jβ1 family (73% versus 27% ).The slopes of the standard curves ranged from - 3.60 to - 3.27.The correlation coefficients of all four standard curves were more than 0.99.The detection sensitivity of ASO-PCR was 4 × 10 -5 μg/μl.The fluorescence background were detected at a low level.Quantitative MRD values of TCR β rearrangement in sequential BM specimens of 4 adult T-ALL patients were monitored during the treatment, including complete remission after induction and after consolidation therapy. RQ-PCR showed the MRD values of TCR β rearrangement were gradually decreased in response to the treatment.Conclusions The quantification of TCR β rearrangement by ASO-PCR approach is sensitive, specific and reliable for the accurate evaluation of malignant clones.It is suitable for the monitoring of minimal residual disease of adult T-ALL patients.
