[Objective]To measure adult normal femur specimen in order to obtain accurate femoral resection and match the distal femoral in total knee arthroplasty.[Method](1)Forty-seven adult normal femur specimens of central Chinese were used for taking digital pictures in both anteroposterior and medialateral position.Five angles were measured through drawing lines of fixed point.(2)The exact position of the entry point was defined by the two wires on the specimens.[Result](1)The five angles reflect distal femoral anatomy features on the frontal plane and sagittal plane.(2)The mean value of distance from the entry point to the center of the intercondylar notch was 6.21 mm and the distance from the entry point to the anterior margin of the femoral posterior cruciate ligament(PCL) insertion is found to be 6.7 mm.[Conclusion](1)The distal one-third of femora was found to be outward bowing on frontal plane and forward bowing on Sagittal plane.Especially,the forward bowing is more remarkable than Outward bowing.So,when the position of intramedullary guide stick is decided by distal femoral anatomy,the axis alignments on frontal and Sagittal planes are both important.(2)During total knee afthroplasty the exact position of entry point may be defined by the Center of the intefcondylar notch and femoral PCL insertion.

Objective To observe the histopathological changes in the kidneys with stress reaction under +Gx loads in rhesus monkeys. Methods Nine male Rhesus macaques monkeys were randomly divided into four groups: control group animals were exposed to +1Gx/300s overload, and experimental groups 1, 2 and 3 animals were exposed to +15Gx/200s, +21Gx/165s and +21Gx/140s (3 animals in each group), respectively. Renal tissue was fixed with 10% buffered formaldehyde and paraffin sectioned, and histopathological changes were observed with microscope. Results In the experimental groups, glomerular congestion, and dilation of interstitial vessels with erythrocytic extravasation were found in both kidneys. Obvious cloudy swelling of the epithelial cells was also noted in the renal tubules. The degree of renal damage was significantly correlated with the increase in +Gx loads. There was no obvious change in the control group. Conclusion Overload gravity can induce significant injury to the kidney in the monkeys. There is a significant correlation of the degree of renal damage with the level of +Gx load.

To examine the effect of benapril on atherogenesis, circulating endothelial cells (CEC), and factor vWF. Twenty four healthy male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups. In group C (control group) the rabbits were fed normal rabbit diet for ten weeks, in group AS 1% cholesterol diet was fed, and in group B both 1% cholesterol diet and benapril 5mg/day were fed. Fasting blood samples were collected for the determination of serum total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL c), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL c), and triglyceride (TG) on day 0, 5 and 10 weeks after feeding. The levels of plasma CEC were measured by morphometrical count and the levels of plasma vWF were determined by ELISA. After the animals were sacrificed, aortas were obtained, and they were stained with oil red O. The tissue was sectioned for histological examination. Planimetry was performed with a computer system. Endothelial cells were identified by the presence of factor VIII related antigen, which was the specific marker for endothelial cells. The results showed that the levels of serum Tc, TG, and LDL c were increased progressively in group B and group AS, but the levels of vWF in group AS were significantly higher than that in group B at the 5 th and 10 th weeks respectively ( P

Objective To prepare and optimize fibrin-gel-coated vaneomycin alginate beads (FG-Vanco-AB)and investigate their possible use in treatment of osteomyelitis or prevention of infection.Methods Vancomycin alginate beads were produced by dropping vancomycin and alginate mixed liquor into calcium chloride solution.Beads including high vancomycin content were prepared and chosen by optimizing different concentrations of vancomycin solution and alginate solution.These beads were coated with fibrin gel formed by different concentrations of fibrin and the same concentration thrombin.The optimized beads were selected based on available release time,when vancomycin in medium could kill Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC25923). Results Higher content of vancomycin in bead resulted in increase of vancomycin concentration and alginate concentration in mixed liquid.The highest vancomycin content beads were prepared by 16%alginate and 50 mr/ml vancomycin,up to(27.36±0.90)%.The further results showed that vancomycin concentrations from beads coated with fibrin at 75 mg/ml and thrombin at 400 IU/ml could kill Staphylococcus aureus and remained above the breakpoint sensitivity for 19 days.Conclusion The available release time is prolonged,and the possibility of clinical use is conspicuously increased after vancomycin beads are optimized by adjusting the rate of mixed component and fibrin gel coat.
