Aim The mechanism of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)in mediating increase of intracellular free magnesium ([Mg2+]i) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and the relationship between Mg2+and angiogenesis were investigated in this study.Methods The change of[Mg2+]i in HUVECs were quantitatively detected in intracellular cation measurement system via loaded with the fluorescent magnesium indicator mag-fura-2. Endothelial cells were primarily acquired by infusion of collagen enzyme solutioninto the lumens of human umbilical veins and cultured in M199 with 0.2 fetal bovine serum. The role of bFGF in angiogenesis was observed in presence of 0,1 mmol?L-1 or 2 mmol?L-1 of extracellular Mg2+.Results bFGF dose-dependently increased [Mg2+]i, and there was not any significant difference among the groups of 0,1 mmol?L-1and 2 mmol?L-1 of extracellular Mg2+;similar results were obtained in groups done with Na+ and Ca2+. Pretreatment with bFGF receptor-2 (KDR) inhibitor (SU1498) blocked the increase of [Mg2+]i induced by bFGF.Unlike in the group of 0 mmol?L-1extracellular Mg2+,the apparent angiogeneses were observed in the groups of 1 mmol?L-1 and 2 mmol?L-1 extracellular Mg2+ in the presence of bFGF.bFGF-induced angiogenesis was significantly blocked with SU1498 in the presence of 1 mmol?L-1 extracelluar Mg2+.Conclusions These results suggest that the increase of [Mg2+]i by bFGF come from intracellular Mg2+ pools mediated by KDR-dependent signaling pathways,thereby resulting in the bFGF-induced angiogenesis.

Objective:To evaluate the risk factors related to the mid-term outcomes of hip preserving surgery for early stages osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) basing on China-Japan Friendship Hospital (CJFH) classification system.Methods:From June 2012 to September 2016, there were consecutive 325 patients (432 hips) were enrolled and divided into different preserving surgery groups, namely core decompression (CD) group 141 hips and "lightbulb" operation (LB) group 291 hips, respectively. Harris hip score (HHS) was used to evaluate the clinical outcomes. The progression of ONFH was observed by radiography. Clinical failure was defined as worsen of HHS and/or radiographic evaluation. Clinical endpoint events were marked as significant hip pain (HHS<70), and/or collapse of the femoral head requiring further interventions. Potential risk factors, including sex, age, etiology, the duration from symptom onset to treatment, preoperative CJFH type, ARCO stage and HHS, were analyzed using univariate risk analysis and Cox regression multivariate risk model.Results:The rate of hip failure was 47.5% (67/141) in CD group, including type C+M 13.0% (3/23), L1 38.1% (24/63), L2 82.4% (14/17) and L3 68.4% (26/38), respectively. There was significant difference in age (χ 2=3.887, P=0.049), type of CJFH (χ 2=40.943, P=0.000) in CD group. The Cox regression analysis revealed that age≥40 ( HR=2.325, 95% CI 1.398, 3.866, P=0.000), pre-HHS 70-80 ( HR=2.163, 95% CI 1.140, 4.105, P=0.018) and <70 ( HR=2.597, 95% CI 1.173, 5.749, P=0.019), type L2 ( HR=35.052, 95% CI 7.721, 159.133, P=0.000) and L3 ( HR=13.242, 95% CI 3.104, 56.491, P=0.000) were associated with failure of core decompression. The rate of hip failure was 36.4%(106/291) in LB group, including type C+M 33.3% (1/3), L1 31.3% (41/131), L2 84.6% (22/26) and L3 32.1% (42/131), respectively. There were significant differences in age (χ 2=8.437, P=0.004), pre-HHS (χ 2=19.737, P=0.000) and type of CJFH (χ 2=29.265, P=0.000) in LB group. The Cox regression analysis showed that poor pre-HHS ( HR=5.102, 95% CI 2.339, 11.129, P=0.000), type L2 ( HR=32.761, 95% CI 6.165, 43.507, P=0.000) were associated with failure of "lightbulb" preserving surgery. Conclusion:The results of hip preserving surgery for ONFH are associated with age, preoperative HHS and CJFH typing. The prognosis depends on the severity of symptoms, the residual of weight-bearing joint surface and lateral pillar of the femoral head.
