Patients with knee osteoarthritis increase gradually.Arthroscopic debridement has achieved good results in clinical treatment at home and abroad in recent years.The technology is not only easy to operate at a low cost, it but also can directly improve the internal environment and function of the knee joints, cut off the vicious circle of joint cavity, which can provide a good environment for the normal production of joint fluid after a large amount of saline lavaging knee joint cavity during operation. This review summarizes the clinical curative effect of knee osteoarthritis with arthroscopic debridement in recent five years and provides the guidance and reference for the researchers.

rabbits were divided randomly into control group ( n =8),pseudo operation group ( n =8) and chitin group ( n =8) with the rabbit iliac artery restenotic models The chitin tubes were localized on the adventitia of restenotic iliac arteries in chitin group but not in pseudo operation group The determinations for the area of neointima,neointima/media area ratio,neointima/media thickness ratio and 3 H TdR incoperation demenstrate that chitin can inhibit intimal proliferation of restenotic iliac artery This findings suggest that local adventitial chitin administration may be effective for the prevention of restenosis

Objective Studies on the changes of gastrin and SS immunoreactive cells in pancreatic islets during experimental gastric ulcer. Methods The immunohistochemical ABC technique was used. Results The gastrin immunoreactive cells were located in most of the pancreatic islet. The mumber of G cells in experimental gastric ulcer group were higher than that of control group on the 4th and 10th day after operation.The D cells raised on the 10th day.Conclusion The present work provides the evidence that the G and D cells of pancreatic islets might be involed in the self-healing process of the experimental gastric ulcer by endocrine or paracrine regulation.

Forty-five male mice were used and divided into three groups: i.e. experimental gastric ulcer group, saline control group and normal control group. After experimental gastric ulcer was induced, the mice of three groups received intraperitoneal injection of colchicine and were sacrificed 3h later at 3, 6, 9 and 20 days, respectively. The antral mucosa was removed and processed by Sternberger's immunocytochemical PAP method to show G cells and counterstained with hematoxylin. In normal control group, the mitotic index of the antral mucosal epithelial and glandular cells was 5.93?1.23; the percentage of G cells was 2.76?0.45; the mitotic index I of G cells (the number of the mitotic G cells per 100 G cells) was 0.85?0.18; and the mitotic index II of G cells (the number of mitotic figures of the G cells per 100 antral epithelial, glandular and G cells) was 0.02?0.01. The mitotic index of the antral mucosal epithelial and glandular cells, the percentage and the mitotic index II of G cells on 6th, 9th and 20th days in experimental gastric ulcer group was raised and showed highly significant statistical difference from that of the control group, respectively. The mitotic index I of G cells was raised on 9th day in the experimental gastric ulcer group and significant difference between experimental gastric ulcer group and the control group was found. It also revealed a significant diference in the experimental gastric ulcer group as compared with saline control group on 20th day. The percentage of G cells on 6th day was most high, but the peak of mitotic number of G cells appeared on 9th day in the experimental gastric ulcer group. The distribution of G cells was found upward in the glands near the ulcer on 3rd and 6th day than in normal control. These findings suggest that the number, origin, distribution and shape of the G cells in the pyloric glands exhibited dynamic changes with the passage of time. The results suggested that the G cells might participate in the regulation of regeneration of antral mucosa during experimental gastric ulcer.

BACKGROUND: Compound betamethasone injection has been widely used to treat intervertebral disc herniation, but its precise mechanism remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To explore effects of local injection of compound betamethasone on substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia of rat models undergoing autologous transplantation of nucleus pulposus.
METHODS: A total of 36 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four groups: blank group, model group, sham surgery group, and western medicine group, with 9 rats in each group. After 1 week of adaptive feeding, rat models of autologous transplantation of nucleus pulposus were established in the model and western medicine groups. At 3, 7 and 12 days after surgery, the rats were given 128.25 μL saline in the model and sham surgery groups. The rats in the western medicine group were administered Betamethason Compound Injection 13.5 μL + 2% Lidocaine Injection 67.5 μL. At 12 hours after final administration, L4-6 segments of the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion were obtained, and substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide contents in L4-6 segments of the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion were determined using immunofluorescence staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Significant differences in mean fluorescence intensity of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide were detected in rat spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion in each group (P < 0.01). Further paired comparison showed that compared with the blank and sham surgery groups, substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide contents were significantly higher in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion in the model group (P < 0.01), which verified that models could be replicated and were reliable. Compared with the model and sham surgery groups, substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide contents were significantly lower in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion of rats in the western medicine group (P < 0.01). Above results confirmed that Compound Betamethasone Injection for treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation eliminated substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide in dorsal root ganglion possibly by inhibiting dorsal root ganglion neuron synthesis and secreting substance P and reduced their transmission to the spinal cord, resulting in inhibiting and lessening pain.

Objective: To investigate the effect of natural active compounds apigenin (API) on the proliferation of rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and related mechanisms. Methods: VSMCs of primary cultured SD rats were obtained and the cytotoxic effects of API (0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 μmol/L) was explored by CCK-8 method. Impact of LPS (0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 μg/ml) on VSMCs proliferation and the impact of API (0, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L) on LPS (10 μmol)-induced VSMCs proliferation by CCK-8 methods. Using EdU and FCM method, we observed the effect of API on proliferation of VSMCs induced by LPS. VSMCs proliferation and cell cycle were also assessed by EdU method and FACS in 10 μg/ml LPS, 10 μg/ml LPS+ 40 μmol/L API and equal volume DMSO treated VSMCs. Results: (1) CCK-8 cell vitality test showed that cell vitality was not affected by 0-40 μmol/L API, while cell vitality was significantly reduced by 80 μmol/L API (57%), which was significantly lower than in blank group (P<0.05). (2) VSMCs proliferation was significantly promoted by 0.1, 1 and 10 μg/ml LPS and peaked in 10 μg/ml LPS stimulated VSMCs group, while VSMCs proliferation was significantly reduced in 100 μg/ml LPS stimulated group (P<0.05 vs. blank group). (3) LPS (10 μm/ml) induced VSMCs proliferation was not affected by 10 μmol/L API, which was significantly inhibited by 20 and 40 μmol/L API (both P<0.05 vs. LPS). (4) VSMCs proliferation assessed by EdU was significantly higher in LPS group than in blank group (P<0.01), which could be significantly reduced by cotreatment with API (P<0.01). (5) FACS results showed that percent of VSMCs in G0/G1 stage was significantly lower in LPS group compared to blank group (P<0.05), which could be significantly increased post API treatment (P<0.05 vs. LPS), while percent of VSMCs in S stage was significantly lower post API treatment in comparison with LPS group. Conclusion API can significantly inhibit LPS-induced proliferation of VSMCs, partly through inhibiting mitosis and inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest.

Objective To explore a new efficient extraction method of dorsal root ganglions(DRGs)of rats by exploring and extracting DRGs reversely along the nerve traveling pathway. Methods The DRGs were extracted by the traditional method of opening the intervertebral foramina and the new method, extracting DRGs reversely along the nerve traveling pathway,respectively. The time consuming and the number of intact DRGs obtained with these two method were compared. Results The number of intact DRGs(L3-5segments,both sides)extracted from each rat with the traditional method was(3.08 ± 1.31),and the average time consuming of each DRG was(5.58 ± 1.21)min. As for the new method ,the number of intact DRGs extracted from each rat was(4.29 ± 1.08), and the average time consuming was(1.69 ± 0.91)min,significantly better than that of the traditional method(P < 0.05 for both). Conclusions The new method of exploring and extracting DRGs reversely along the nerve traveling pathway is more efficient for obtaining intact DRGs of rats,providing more useful tissue materials for subsequent culture and morphological studies of DRG cells.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of cryptococcal infection after renal transplantation.Methods:The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively for 17 hospitalized cases of cryptococcal infection after kidney transplantation from January 2003 to December 2019. The relevant parameters included site of infection, clinical manifestations, complications, comorbidities, treatments and outcomes. The average time to infection after transplantation was (7.9±5.4) years, the median baseline level of creatinine was 137(75-741) μmol/L. Concurrent conditions included hypertension (n=15, 88.2%), diabetes (n=6, 35.3%) and chronic hepatitis (n=9, 52.9%). The most common site of infection was central nervous system (88.2%), followed by lungs (29.4%) and skin (17.6%).Results:The clinical manifestations were diverse. Most patients received amphotericin B liposome and/or fluconazole as an initial option. The outcomes were curing (n=17, 58.8%), death from cryptococcal infection (n=5, 29.4%), partial relief (n=1, 5.9%) and stable disease (n=1, 5.9%). Among 10 curative cases, 2 cases died from other causes and 4 cases returned to hemodialysis with graft loss.Conclusions:Cryptococcosis is typically a late-occurring infection in kidney transplant recipients. Many factors, such as complications, nonstandard antifungal treatment, immune dysbalance, have adverse prognoses. Strengthening follow-ups, dealing with complications, validating the diagnosis early, interdepartmental cooperations, standardizing antifungal therapy and balancing immune status may improve the outcomes of cryptococcosis after kidney transplantation.

OBJECTIVE To compare t he diff erences of the fingerprint and in vitro antioxidant activity between decoction pieces of Polygonum cuspidatum by integrated technology of habitat processing and processing （short for IPDP ）and traditional processing decoction pieces （short for TPDP ）. METHODS Ten batches of IPDP and ten batches of TPDP were prepared by integrated technology and traditional technology ，respectively. HPLC method was used to establish and compare the fingerprints of IPDP and TPDP. The scavenging rates of DPPH free radical ，ABTS free radical ，superoxide free radical and hydroxyl free radical and reducing activity of Fe 3+ were detected for IPDP and TPDP. In vitro antioxidant activities were compared between IPDP and TPDP. RESULTS There were 11 common peaks in the fingerprints of IPDP and TPDP ，among which 17 came from IPDP and 13 came from TPDP. The peak heights of peak 6（polydatin）and peak 15（emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside）in IPDP were significantly higher than those in the TPDP ，and the peak heights of peak 13（resveratrol），peak 17（emodin）and peak 19（physcion）in the TPDP were significantly higher than those in the IPDP. The results of in vitro antioxidant test showed that IPDP and TPDP had a certain scavenging capacity on DPPH free radical ，ABTS free radical ，superoxide free radical and hydroxyl free radicals ，and also had a certain reducing capacity on Fe 3+. CONCLUSIONS The integrated processing technology of P. cuspidatum has a good retention effect on the glycosides in P. cuspidatum ，and the in vitro antioxidant activity of IPDP is stronger than that of TPDP.
