[Objective]To evaluate the role of Southwick angle and Klein line in the diagnosis of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). [Methods]Forty-two cases of SCFE were treated by Russell traction and screw or pins fixation in situ from 1995 to 2006. The hip anteroposterior and frog-lateral radiographs were reviewed to measure the occurrence of metaphyseal change,the Southwick angle and the Klein line.[Results]The metaphyseal changes occurred in all cases. The Southwick angles were reduced with the severity of SCFE. The positive ratio of Klein line was higher in the lateral radiographs,but lower in the anteroposterior radiographys.[Conclusion]The Southwick angle and Klein line play an important role in the diagnosis of SCFE. The lateral radiography should be emphasized in the diagnosis of SCFE.

Objective To study and discuss the problems involved in as well as the significance a nd methods of restoration and reconstr uction of forefoot defects.Methods Various procedures were adopted ac-cording to the wound variety and severity.For just absense of mefatarsal bones,only soft tissue was restored.For defects of metatarsals or metatarso phalangeal joints(usually associated with soft tissue defects)homochronous reconstruction and restoration was conducted by using vascularized bon e incorporation with free flap transplan-tation.Results Total 47cases wih forefoot defects were recpaired by using procedures me ntioned above from1994to 2000.All of this group regain ed their walking and weight-bearing functions as well as a good appearance.Conclusions Classification of forefoot injurie s according to their severity and loc ation is helpful in treatment,precise description and further stu dy of the injuries.Vascular bone incorporating with vascular flaps proved to be an ideal method of repairing compound defects.

30 open-chest rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups. In group Ⅰ the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was false ligated. Rabbits of group Ⅱ and Ⅲ underwent 30 minuts of LAD occlusion and 4h of reperfusion. After LAD ligated in group Ⅲ were intravenously administered nitroglycerin and in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ were sodium chloride. The level of plasme nitric oxide (NO), alpha-granule membrance protein (GMP-140) on the surface of platelet and thromboxane B_2 (TXB_2) were determined in some time points before and after operation. The results showed that the level of NO, GMP-140 and TXB_2 in group Ⅰ were not difference before and after operation. In group Ⅱ and Ⅲ the level of NO was significantly decreased and the level of the GMP-140 and TXB_2 were significantly increased after myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. Changes in group Ⅱ were more marked than that in group Ⅲ. There were close relation between the value of NO and the value of GMP- 140 and TXB_2. It suggested that NO inhibited platelet activation after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in vivo.

Objective To explore reconstructive methods for defects uf bone and soft tissue in traumatic injury uf medial malleolus.Methods A vascular iliac bone with a piece of faacial strip is used together with a local island flap or a free flap to reconstruct the defects of bone,triangular ligament and skin in medial malleolus al one or two stages.Results Follow-ups of 11 to 24 months proved that the stability and walking and weight loading functions uf ankle joint of the patients were restored satisfactorily and their normal varus range without abnormal articular motion was restored.Slight varus occurred during walking in one case,and pain appeared after fatigue in two cases.The X-grams showed no obvious absorption or areosis in the free iliac bone implanted.Conclusion In repair of defects of medial malleolus,combined transplantation of iliac bone and flap is rceommendable because it can keep the essential integrity of malleolus and achieve good Stability and functional recovery of ankle joint.

Objectives To approach the method and clinical effect on tendo calcaneus and complex tissue defect with microsurgery repair.Methods Retrospective summary the methods of 356 cases with tendo calcaneus and complex tissueserious defect,which repaired by different microsurgery from June 1994 to March 201 1.Two type were divided on account of different degree of serious tendo calcaneus and complex tissue defect.Type A:the length of tendo calcaneus defect was less than 3 cm,and cutaneous deficiency is less than 3 cm × 20 cm.Direct suture (166 cases) or Abraham retrograde V-Y method (72 cases)was used to repair endo calcaneus defec,anfregional flap metastasis was used to repair cutaneous deficiency.Two hundred and thirtyeight cases were used by those methods,including of lateral heel flap repair(23 cases),medial plantar island flap(58 cases),instep island flap(40 cases),above medial malleolus flap(48 cases),above ateral malleolus flap (24 cases),sural nerve nutrient vessel flap (29 cases) gastrocnemius muscle flap (16 cases).Type B:the length of tendo calcaneus defect was more than 3 cm,and cutaneous deficiency was more than 3 cm × 20 cm.Direct suture could not repair tendo calcaneus,the complex tissue flap free grafting was used to primary repair tendo calcaneus and complex tissue defect.One hundred and erghteen cases were used by those methods,including of tensor fasciae latae flap free grafting (52 cases),lateral above knee complex tissue flap free grafting (26 cases),latissimus dorsi muscle fascia flap free grafting (24 cases),rectus abdominis muscle front sheath flap free grafting (16 cases).Three hundred and fifty-six cases were repaired by these methods,including 238 cases of regional flap transfer 118 cases of tissue flap free grafting.Results In 238 cases of regional flap transfer,two hundred and twenty-six cases were successful,and 12 cases were partly success,which were wound healing by change dressings.In 118 cases of tissue flap free grafting,one hundred and nine cases were successful,and blood vesse articulo were happened to 8 casess,which were success by operations research,and 1 case was failure which had to use another tissue flap.Follow-up visit was dane from 1.0 year to 4.5 years after operation (average 3.2 years).Functional assessment according to the Thermann ralted the results as excellent in 240 csaes,good in 86 cases,common in 22 cases and worse in 8 cases.The fineness rate was 91.6％.Conclusion Microsurgical repair is a good method to tendo calcaneus and complex tissue defect,different method and strategy selected actively by tissue defect degree of tendo calcaneus and complex tissue can achieve satisfactory functional rehabilitation purpose.

AIM: To study the effect of homocysteine (HCY) on proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts and the effect of HCY on collagen prodution of airway fibroblasts. METHODS: [3H]-TdR incorpora- tion was measured in cultured airway smooth muscle cells. The [3H]-TdR and [3H]-proline incorporation were mea- sured in cultured airway fibroblasts. RESULTS: HCY induced proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts in a concentration - dependent manner. HCY also induced collagen production of airway fibroblasts in a concentration - dependent manner. The inhibitors of protein kinase C, H7 and polymyxin B, inhibited HCY - induced proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells. CONCLUSIONS: HCY induced proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts, HCY also induced collagen production of airway fibroblasts. The HCY - induced proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells may be related to the pathway of PKC signal transduction.
