Objective To observe the clinic effects of treating senile viral myocarditis with Yixin decoction plus western medicine. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 98 cases with senile viral myocarditis from March 2005 to September 2007 in our hospital. The 98 cases were randomly recruited into a control group with 44 cases and a treatment group with 54 cases. The treatment group was treated with Yinxin decoction plus conventional western medicine and the control group was treated with conventional western medicine exclusively. Results The total effective rate in the treatment group and the control group was 98.15% and 75% respectively. The difference between the two groups were significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Yixin decoction plus western medicine has good effects in treating senile viral myocarditis.

Objective To compare the expression of osteolysis and osteogenesis cytokines in the interface membrane around aseptically loosened prosthesis for the elucidation of the biological mechanism of osteolysis caused by wear particles at bone-implant interface. Methods Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and computerized image processing were adopted to determine the mRNA expression of PDGF-B and BMP-7 respectively in the interface membrane(IM) at osteolysis region(with wear particles) and non-osteolysis region. Normal synovial membrane(NSM), OA synovial membrane(OASM) and normal cancellous bone(NCB) were obtained as negative or positive control. Results Expression of PDGF-B mRNA from high to low was OASM, IM at osteolysis region, NCB, IM at non-osteolysis region and NSM(P

Objective To study the orientation of tissue differentiation at bone implant interface by comparing PDGF－? and BMP－ 7 receptor distribution on histiocytes of interface membranes around aseptic loosened prosthesis. Methods Interface membrane tissues of osteolysis and non- osteolysis regions around aseptic loosened prostheses of 10 cases were immunohistochemically stained by PDGFR－? and ActR－Ⅰ (ALK－ 2) multiclonal antibodies. The relative grey values of 100 positive cells of each factors from every case were determined by computerized image analysis system and were compared between different groups and cells. Results No specificity of PDGFR－? distribution on different kinds of cells of interface membrane. PDGFR－? expression on macrophages and fibroblasts of the membranes at osteolysis regions was significantly higher than that at non- osteolysis regions (P

Objective To report the experience of the revision procedure with morselized bone grafting and a special design of acetabular prosthesis with three wings for loosened acetabular component in our hospital. Methods Since December 1989 to Junanry 1999, 23 cases with loosened acetabular component and bone defect were revised by morselized bone auto/allografting. There were 12 males and 11 females, the average age of the patients was 54.2 years old (range from 38 to 71 years old). The prosthesis of primary THA was double cup in 4 cases, the conventional THA in 19 cases, cemented in 22 cases and cementless in 1 cases. The severity of acetabular component loosening was classified into four types according to Gustillo: Type II in 3 cases, type III in 9 cases and type IV in 11 cases. The morselized bone autografting and allografting with size 4－ 6 mm were used in 6 cases and in 17 cases respectively. Different acetabular components had been used, the thread metal acetabular cup in 2 cases, screw fixed conventional metal acetabular cup in 10 cases and special design acetabular prosthesis with three wings in 11 cases. The latter prosthesis consists of an conventional acetabular component with pearl porous surface and three wings with different length and sharp edge distributed centrally in the superior lateral quadrant on the surface, the liner is made of UHMPE. Results No infection of the wound occurred in this group. The mean time of follow- up was 3 years and 8 months. Except 3 cases, all of the bone grafts was healed well and X－ ray showed that the containing of acetabular component was good, no translucent line between donor bone bed and prosthesis, and the bone defect had been repaired. The average Harris score was 47 before revision, and 86 after revision. The successful rate of revision was 86.9％ . There were 3 loosening cases postoperatively, 2 cases were due to incorrect position of prostheses and insufficient bone graft, another case was due to the screw being too short to fix the acetabular component. However, all of the three cases have partial bone growth in the original loosening acetabular. Conclusion 1. Direct contact between the morselized bone auto/allograft and the surface of metal acetabular component and the firm fixation of the prosthesis have showed good result of bone defect reconstruction. 2. The special design of acetabular prosthesis with three wings could be selected as an alternative method for huge bone loss of acetabulum (ranged from 64 to 79 mm), because it was able to enlarge the volume of the acetabular component.

Objective To compare transfection properties of two different fluorescently labeled PIK3CA siR-NA and to screen out PIK3CA siRNA with high transfection efficiency and strong anti-quenching ability.Methods Two different fluorescently labeled PIK3CA siRNA was transfected into gastric cancer cell BGC-823 by Lipofectamine 2000.The distribution and quenching of fluorescence were observed by inverted fluorescence microscope.Image J software was used to analyze their transfection efficiency.Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to detect the effect of different fluorescently labeled PIK3CA siRNA on PIK3CA mRNA expression.Results The transfection efficiency and anti-quenching ability of two different fluorescently labeled PIK3CA siRNA were different under the same transfection conditions.The transfection efficiency showed no significant differences between Cy3 or FAM labeled PIK3CA siRNA and negative control siRNA(P ＞ 0.05),but the transfection efficiency of Cy3 labeled PIK3CA siRNA and negative control siRNA was significantly higher than the FAM labeled (P ＜ 0.05).Inhibitory efficacy of target mRNA expression induced by Cy3 labeled PIK3CA siRNA was significantly higher than that of FAM labeled PIK3CA siRNA.Conclusion Cy3 labeled PIK3CA siRNA could act as a good tracer and provide an important evidence for further construction of Cy3 labeled PIK3CA siRNA nanoparticle.

Objective To study the biomechanical strength of calcium phoshphate cement (CPC) in fixating distal radial fractures. Methods A total of 18 human distal radius fracture models were made and randomly divided into three groups: fixed with Kirschner wire (Kirschner group), CPC (CPC group) or CPC combined with Kirschner wire (combination group). Compression test was performed to measure compression rigidity and rotational angle of distal fragment at 100 N and anticompression strength and maximum compression strength at 2 mm displacement. Results Compression rigidity, distal fragment rotation angle in coronal or sagittal plate had no significant statistical difference at 100 N of compression in three groups. Compression strength at 2 mm displacement in CPC group (average 375 N) and combination group (average 386 N) exceeded that in Kirschner group (average 116 N), with significantly statistical difference (P

Objective To explore the effects of losartan potassium and simvastatin combination therapy on oxidative stress indicators in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis through 12 weeks observation. Methods Diabetic patients with end-stage nephropathy (n=80) who were treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis were randomly divided into two groups:control group who received routine treatment (n=40), treatment group who were given losartan potassium 50 mg, once per day and simvastatin 20 mg, once every night (n=40). HbA1C, Insulin dosage, Oxidative stress indicators(SOD, GSH-PX, MDA and Hcy)were compared between two groups before and after peritoneal dialysis. Results There was no significant difference of HbA1C between the 2 groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). The insulin doses increased be?fore dialysis in both groups after CAPD treatment. It is lower in the treatment group than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The expression levels of GSH-PX and SOD in treatment group were higher while the expressions of Hcy and MDA were lower after treatment. The expressions of GSH-PX and SOD were higher while the expressions of Hcy and MDA were lower in treat?ment group than those in control group when comparing the same time point(P<0.05). GSH-PX expression level was lower while the expressions of MDA and Hcy were higher after dialysis than those before dialysis in control group ( P<0.05). Con?clusion Losartan potassium combined with simvastatin treatment can improve curative effect and oxidative stress indicators in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis.

Objective:Influence of clinicopathological characteristics and different therapy patterns on the overall survival of patients with gastric cancer with bone metastasis was investigated. Methods:A total of 146 gastric cancer patients with bone metastasis were enrolled from December 1996 to December 2014. Data of clinicopathological characteristics, treatment methods, and overall survival were collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using log-rank tests and Cox's proportional hazard model, respec-tively. Results:A total of 51 (34.9%) patients had synchronous metastasis, while 95 (65.1%) had metachronous metastasis. Moreover, 35 (24.0%) patients only had bone metastasis, while 111 (76.0%) patients were complicated with other organ metastases, such as liver (30.0%), peritoneal (24.0%), lung (15.1%), and bone marrow (7.5%). After diagnosis of bone metastasis, bisphosphonates, bone radio-therapy and bone surgery were applied in 99 (67.8%), 34 (23.3%), and 5 (3.4%) patients, respectively. Additionally, 96 (65.6%) patients received palliative chemotherapy. The median overall survival was 5.8 months (95%CI:4.284-7.316). Multivariate analysis revealed that KPS<80 (P=0.030), bone marrow metastasis (P<0.001), elevated serum CA199 (P<0.001), and without palliative chemotherapy (P<0.001) were independent poor prognostic factors. Conclusion:The outcome of gastric cancer with bone metastasis is very poor, espe-cially in patients with bone marrow metastasis, worse KPS, and elevated CA199. Palliative chemotherapy may be beneficial for the sur-vival of these patients.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of rabbit skeletal muscle stem cells (RSMSCs) modified by adenovirus mediated bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) gene ex vivo in combination with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) on repair of longer bone defect in rabbit.MethodsModel of radial bone defects (20 mm) of rabbits was established. 50 rabbits were divided into 5 groups, group A (AdrhBMP-2 trusduced RSMSCs/DBM group), group B (adGFP trusduced RSMSCs/DBM group), group C (not trusduced RSMSCs/DBM group), group D (DBM group), and group E (untreated group). Roentgenographic, histologic, biomechanical, bone density of all animals were examined at the end of 4th and 6th week after surgery.ResultsAt 4th week, radial bone defects healed in group A. The healing rates from group A to group E were 100%, 50%, 33%, 0%, and 0% respectively at 6th week.ConclusionRSMSCs modified by AdrhBMP-2 ex vivo in combination with DBM can repair radial longer segemental defect in rabbit. It's possible to be used in the clinical treatment of longer segemental bone defect.
