BACKGROUND: In vivo animal experiments have found that magnesium al oy stents can be completely degraded in a slow, orderly and non-toxic manner fol owing the vascular remodeling. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the applied effect and biocompatibility of a new type of magnesium al oy stent in blood vessels. METHODS: Forty-two crossbreed dogs were implanted with absorbable magnesium al oy stents via the coronary artery or left femoral artery. At days 1, 3, 5 and weeks 1, 2, 3, 4 after implantation, coronary or femoral artery angiography, inflammatory factor detection and morphological analysis targeting intimal hyperplasia were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 1 day after implantation, the stents had the complete shape and were ful y extended; at 3 days after implantation, the stents were degraded partial y; at 1 week after implantation, the stents were degraded completely. Within 1-3 weeks after implantation, the levels of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 continued to decrease. At 2 and 3 weeks after implantation, the target vessels presented with mild intimal hyperplasia. As time went on, the hyperplasia area increased gradual y, and the percentage of intimal hyperplasia increased gradual y. Blood magnesium concentration remained unchanged before and after stent implantation. The results show that the new absorbable magnesium al oy stent can be completely degraded within 1 week after stent implantation and has good biocompatibility.

BACKGROUND: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is about 1 mm in diameter and about 1-10 μm in length cylinder-like material, and it only contains the spiral of carbon atoms arranged on the surface. Because of its unique tubular structure, lower density than that of graphite and with a high enough intensity, CNTs are expected to substitute bone.OBJECTIVE: To primarily study the influence of the content of polycarbosilane (PCS) and the sintering pressure on CNTs, look for the most optimum condition for the preparation of chunk CNTs, analyze the physical properties and biocompatibility of the material, and provide a choice for candidate implant denture material.DESIGN: The content of cement and the sintering pressure are adjusted in the experiment to make sure the most optimum condition for the preparation, and the capabilities of the material are observed and analyzed to make sure if that the material is suitable for implant denture.SETTING: Department of Stomatology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University; Prosthodontics Staff Room, Oral Medical College of Central South University. MATERIALS: 80% pure molecules of CNT (Nano Lab Company USA), 20-40 nm in diameter, 5-20 mm in length, was provided by Nacheng Technology Development Corporation of Beijing. PCS was compounded by 502 Development Room of Defense Technology University, and the molecular weight is 1 300; Ten male white Wistar rats with 8 weeks old were provided by Animal Experiment Center of Guangxi Medical University. The treatments with the animals accorded to animal ethical standard in the experiment.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Experimental Center of Material College, Central South University from January to August 2005. By using the spark plasma sintering (SPS), at the sintering temperature of 1 200 ℃, the pressure from 20 MPa to 60 MPa, PCS was used as the cement to produce the new chunk multi-wall CNTs.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: By using Archimedes method and adsorption of gases method, Japanese MitutoyoHM-101 little burden Vickers hardness meter was used to test the apparent bulk density, specific surface area, Vickers hardness at the different contents of PCS and sintering pressures. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to observe the microstructure of the material.RESULTS: ① Microstructure: SEM and TEM indicated that the nanotube structure of the material was retained after sintered. ② Conforming phase of material: X-ray diffractometer indicated that carbon nanotubes were felt by PCS pyrolysis product of SiC; along with the PCS content and sintering pressure increased, the specific surface area was reduced, and Vickers hardness and density increased. Specific surface area decreased. ③ Histological compatibility: The inflammatory reactions of the CNTs/PCS were little more serious along with the increase of the content of PCS. The physical property of carbon nanotubes was prepared in this way, it was closed to bone tissues, it had the better biocompatibility, and it was the suitable candidate implant denture material.CONCLUSION: Appropriate to PCS for the bonding agent, through SPS, at 1 200 ℃, 20-60 MPa sintering pressure, CNTs/PCS which the material property is closed to bone tissues can be prepared, and CNTs/PCS subcutaneous implantation in rats does not show significant rejection; therefore, it is suitable candidate for dental implants material.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of arthroscopy versus mini-incision surgery for the treatment of avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).Methods From March 2001 to September 2009,84 patients with acute displaced avulsion fracture of the tibial PCL attachment were treated operatively in our department.Thirty-five patients were treated with arthroscopic reduction and suture fixation (Group 1); 49 patients were treated with open reduction through a mini-incision and internal fixation with cannulated screw(s) and washer(s) (Group 2).There were 27 males and 8 females in group 1,with a mean age of 29.6 ± 5.6 years old,and 40 males and 9 females in group 2,with a mean age of 32.2 ± 7.6 years old.Based on the Meyers & Mckeever classification,there were 24 type Ⅱ fractures and 11 type Ⅲ fractures in group 1,and 31 type Ⅱ fractures and 18 type Ⅲ fractures in group 2.The 2 groups were compared in terms of range of motion,posterior drawer test (PDT),Lysholm score,International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) grading,and clinical results.Results All the patients obtained an average follow-up of 21.5 months (range,13 to 34 months).Primary union was achieved in all the fractures 3 months postoperatively.There were no significant differences between group 1 and group 2 regarding the PDT negative rate [82.9％ (29/35) versus 91.8％ (45/49)],the Lysholm score (95.1 ± 5.6 versus 96.1 ±4.7),therate ofIKDC grade A [88.6％ (31/35) versus91.8％ (45/49)],or the rate of normal range of motion [94.3％ (33/35) versus 93.9％ (46/49)] (P ＞ 0.05).On average,group 1 used significantly longer operative time (92.4 ± 15.9 minutes) than group 2 (53.8 ± 14.3 minutes).Conclusions Both arthroscopy and mini-incision surgery can achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes in the treatment of PCL tibial avulsion fracture.Although the 2 methods make no significant differences in stability of the knee joint and clinical scores,mini-incision surgery can result in much shorter operative time and thus permit an early postoperative rehabilitation.
