[Objective]To investigate the injury characteristics and treatment of the Hoffa facture associated with extensor mechanism injury.[Method]Four patients with Hoffa facture associated with extensor mechanism injury treated in author's hospital in recent 6 years were enrolled in this study.All the patients were multiple-injured,and associated with the ipsilateral limb fracture and retinacular and capsule laceration.The site of the extensor mechanism injury included 1 distal patellar tendon disruption,2 proximal patellar tendon disruption,and 1 distal quadriceps tendon disruption.No cruciate ligament injury was found in 3 ipsilateral bicondylar fractures.One unicondylar fracture was associated with anterior and posterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament injury simultaneously.Emergency operation was performed along with the debridement in the three open fractures.In another patient with closed fracture,operation was performed one week after injury.Fractures were reduced and fixed with lag screws.Extensor apparatus were repaired and strengthened with a tension band wire through both patella and tibia.Ipsilateral limb fractures were reduced and internal fixed with hardware simultaneously. The knees were immobilized in extension with cast after operation,and flexion exercise was commenced four to six weeks later.[Result]Four patients wounds reached the first rate healing.There was no infection and necrosis of skin.All patients were followed-up for six months to three years.All 7 condyles of the 4 patients reached bone union.Healing time was about six to twelve weeks.According to Letenneur’s functional assessment system,excellent and good results were in 1 cases,fine in 3 cases.[Conclusion]Hoffa facture associated with extensor mechanism injury are usually accompanied with injuries in other part of the body.In open fracture,emergency operation is mandatory,and fracture reduction and internal fixation and extensor apparatus repair should be performed along with debridement.Tension band wire may strengthen the stability of the extensor mechanism and facilitated early mobilization.

Objective To describe postmedial approach to the knee and discuss the main technique using it to repair and reconstruct posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Methods 24 patients with PCL injury were operated on with the postmedial approach. 13 cases were repaired directly using the technique of pulling out steel wire and 11 cases were reconstructed by semitendinosus. Prone position was adopted in 16 cases and supine position in 8 cases (21 cases had been followed up over six months). Applied anatomy, main techniques and clinical results were evaluated. Results The postmedial approach saved 30~60 minutes compared with the posteior approach, and was not restricted by body posture. Neurovascular structure did not need to be dissected, PCL repair and reconstruction could be finished in one incision.By a six month follow up evaluation, no symptoms of instability occured and they were completely stable on physical examination. Conclusion The postmedial approach is simple, safe, and yields excellent exposure. It's an ideal approach for repair and reconstruction of the PCL.The technique of pulling and steel wire and semitendinosas drawn out "U" shaped pins fixation are essential methods to repair and reconstruct the PCL.

Objective To obtain the short peptides from phage-displayed random peptide library through screening the epitope of monoclonal antibody against tumor necrosis factor(TNF-?). Methods Anti-TNF-? was used to immunoscreen a phage random peptide library of 12 amino-acidresidues displayed as a fusion to protein Ⅲ of filamentous phage M13. The positive clones were obtained by three rounds of biopanning, and the reactivity of each clone binding to anti-TNF-? was examined by double-antibody sandwich ELISA and Dot-ELISA. Mixed positive phage clones were used to detect the serum from SLE patients and healthy persons by Dot-ELISA. Results The eluted phages were enriched nearly 100 fold through three rounds of biopanning, 7 phage clones from the third round biopanning were randomly selected and 5 clones of them could bind to the anti-TNF-?. The binding rate of mixed clones with SLE patients was significantly higher than that of healthy persons. Conclusion The phage display technique can be applied to study the anti-TNF-? antigenic peptides, and these epitopes provide the potential for developing immunodiagnostic reagents of vaccines.

Objective To explore the correlation between the dose measured in the rectum and reference dose in three?dimensional brachytherapy ( 3DBT ) for cervical cancer, and to evaluate the significance of the dose measured in the rectum. Methods Fifty patients receiving radiotherapy for cervical cancer were selected, and 3DBT was performed after pelvic external beam radiotherapy. According to the rectal monitoring method recommended in the report ICRU38, in vivo monitoring was applied to obtain the dose measured in the rectum, reference point dose ( DICRU ) , and D2 cm3 , and the planned dose was obtained from the planning system. The differences in these values were determined by the paired t?test and correlation analysis was performed with Pearson test. Results The dose measured in the rectum was higher than the planned dose (3. 48 vs. 3. 25,P=0. 000), and lower than DICRU(3. 48 vs. 3. 71,P=0. 000) and D2 cm3(3. 48 vs. 3. 87,P=0. 002). A linear relationship existed between the dose measured in the rectum and the planned dose, with a deviation percentage of-20% to 40% and an average deviation of 8. 16%;63%of the patients with cervical cancer had a deviation of<± 10%;the maximum deviation was 60%. The dose measured in the rectum had a strong correlation with DICRU(r=0. 722), but a weak correlation with D2 cm3 ( r=0. 284) . Conclusions During 3DBT for cervical cancer, the dose measured in the rectum has certain deviations, but has a linear correlation with the planned dose. Both the dose measured and the planned dose underestimate the dose at the reference point in the rectum, and in vivo rectal monitoring may be an effective method for quality control.
