ObjectiveTo employ the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) gene transfected rabbbit osteoplast to combine with the porous nano-hydrxyapatite crystal (n-HA)/polyam ide 66(/PA66) so as to evaluate the osteogenesis and rapid revascularization early after repair of the rabbit radius bone defects with the tissue-engineered bone (n-HA/PA66/osteoplast/VEGF165).MethodsThe animal models of bilateral radius bone defects were created in 56 New Zealand white rabbits that were then randomly divided into Group A and Group B.In Group A, the animals were implanted with n-HA/PA66on the left bone defects (Group Al) and with n-HA/PA66/VEGF165 composite materials on the right bone defects (Group A2). In Group B, the animals were implanted with n-HA/PA66/osteoplast/VEGF165 composite materials on the left side (Group B1) and with n-HA/PA66/osteoplast on the right side (Group B2).Gross, digital radiography, histological sections, vessel count and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were performed at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after operation.ResultsThe osteogenesis and revascularization in Group B1 was superior to that in the other groups at each time point, with statistical difference (P ＜0.05).The revascularization and osteogenesis in Groups B1 and B2 was far better than that in Groups A1 and A2, with no statistical difference between Group A1 and Group A2.ConclusionsThe new tissue-engineered bone (n-HA/PA66/osteoplast/VEGF165) has a perfect osteogenetic effect and can promote rapid revascularization and the bone healing in the early stage after repair of the bone defects.

BACKGROUND:LARS artificial ligament was designed by Laboureau from France using polyethylene terephthalates with the anatomic structure of human ligament and mechanical principle of weight.This ligament is not only accorded with physiological structure of normal anterior cruciate ligament,but also significantly elevates anti-torque,can resist repetitive twist,bend and excessive traction.OBJECTIVE:To summarize characteristics of clinical application of LARS artificial ligament in transplant reconstruction following acute anterior cruciate ligament of knee joint injury.METHODS:A total of 23 patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament injury,comprising 17 males and 6 females,aged 21-54 years,were selected.Time-from injury to surgery was 3 days to 3 weeks.Polyethylene terephthalatas LARS artificial ligament made in France was used to reconstruct damaged ligament.The transplant was evaluated before and after implantation according to Lysholm knee joint criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Following 11.2 months (10-14 months) of follow-up,unstable symptoms of affected knees of all 23 cases disappeared.Anterior and posterior drawer tests were negative,with good joint function.Average extension and flexion degree was 0°-120°.In accordance with Lysholm knee joint score,significant difference was found from (40.34±4.00) points preoperatively to (90.21±4.00) points postoperatively (P<0.01).They could do common athletic activities at about 2 months following surgery.In some cases,magnetic resonance examination demonstrated that residue ligament gradually grew into artificial ligament,which gradually became thicker.Above-mentioned results have verified that under an arthroscope,reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament using polyethylene terephthalates LARS artificial ligament showed simple operation and small wound,which may lead to immediate stability,early rehabilitation exercises.Simultaneously,interlacing of residue ligament and artificial ligament keeps the nerve conduction pathway of propdoceptive sense,which prevents joint function limitation greatly.Moreover,short-term outcomes are satisfactory.

ObjectiveTo evaluate selectave blocking of hepatic artery tor hepatectomy in onder to reduce blood loss. MethodsPatients with liver cancer in right hepatic lobe were randomly divided into study group (n =25 ) and control group (n =31).Conventional posterior approach for liver tumor resection was applied.In study group,right hepatic artery was first freed and inflow was temporarily blocked before the right liver lobe was freed from its peripheral attachment.Then hepatectomy was performed under Pringle's manouver. Result in term of blood loss was compared with that in control group in which hepatectomy was performed under Pringle's. ResultsThere were no significant differences between two groups in age,sex,tumor size,liver cirrhosis,HBsAg,AFP and tumor emboli in portal vein.Blood loss in study group was significantty less (272 ± 113 ) ml than that in control group (547 ± 221) ml,the difference was statistically significant(t =-5.6,P ＜ 0.01).The length of hospital stay was significantly shorter than that in control group ( t =- 2.12,P ＜ 0.05 ). ConclusionsInitial hepatic artery blochade before liver freeing during the process of hepatectomy significantly reduced intraoperative in blood loss liver cancer patients.

Objective To evaluate the expression of Gankyrin in gastric carcinoma and preancerious lesions (including chronic atrophic gastritis and gastric epithelial dysplasia)and its clinicopathological significance.Methods Immunohistochemical assay was performed to de-tect the Gankyrin expression in 30 casess of normal gastric mucosa,60 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis,30 cases of gastric epithelial dyspla-sia,and 84 cases of gastric carcinoma.Moreover,the relationship between Gankyrin expression and clinicopathological features of gastric car-cionma was analyzed.Results Gankyrin expression was detected in normal gastric mucosa,chronic atrophic gastritis,gastric epithelial dys-plasia,and gastric carcinoma tissues in varying degrees,and the difference of Gankyrin positive rates was significant in different gastric leions mentioned above (P <0.05).The rate of Gankyrin expression in gastric carcinoma was significantly related with the clinical stage and metas-tasis.There’s no relationship between Gankyrin expression and the age,gender of patients,size,histologic grade of gastric carcinoma.Con-clusion Gankyrin participates in both the carcinogenesis and development of gastric carcinoma.Moreover,Gankyrin is a potential target for the diagnosis,prevention and treatment of gastric carcinoma.

Aseptic loosening is the most common cause of implant failure after total hip replacement. Studies have shown that the aseptic loosening is related to the cellular mechanisms involved in the interactions between particulate wear debris from materials used in the prothesis and the surrounding macrophages. A fundamental understanding of how particulate debris incites the release of biologic mediators, such as the proinflammatory/proresorptive cytokines or cellular recruitment, will provide important information regarding the development of interventional therapies to prolong the life of a total hip replacement.

Objective: To assess the technique, efficacy, security and side effects of percutaneous ethanol injection(PEI) in treating the cystic thyroid adenomas. Methods: Fifty seven patients(male 34, female 23) with unilateral and solitary benign cystic thyroid adenoma received PEI therapy under high resolution ultrasound guidance. The medial age of the patients was 47 years(ranging 29 62). The mean diameter in the largest section of the thyroid adenomas was (37.55?5.64) mm(17 59 mm). The thyroid lesions in 12 patients consisted of cystic lumen mixed with solid structure, and the rest 45 had entire cystic thyroid lesions. Ultrasound reexamination of thyroid lesions was done 3 months after the initial treatment. Significant curative effect was defined as an adenoma volume shrinkage rate larger than 50%. The efficacious result was defined as a volume shrinkage rate between 40% and 50% together with a further shrink over a 6 month duration follow up. Those patients with adenoma volume shrinkage rate less than 40% underwent a second PEI after 6 months. Results: Over a mean duration of 25.5 months follow up, 66.7% subjects with entirely cystic had significant curative outcome; 19.3% subjects had efficacious result; and 9.8% subjects needed a second PEI and their thyroid lesions contained more solid tissue. There were 5.3% subjects were transfered to open surgery due to colloid cyst fluid. Twenty one patients complained of intraoperative local transient pain; 15 patients had transient pyrexia in the 48 h after injection, and 3 patients were affected by post operative transient dysphonia. No serious bleeding were encountered, and no apparent change of serum T 3,T 4,TSH level was observed. Conclusion: Ultrasound guided PEI therapy is an effective, safe and simple procedure for the ablation of cystic thyroid adenoma. Careful selection of subjects according to their preoperative thyroid ultrasonographies can reduce the unsuccessful PEI. A selective volume of ethanol injection consistent with the adenoma size on sonograms and a thorough flush with ethanol can improve the efficacy of PEI.
