Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(43):7559-7564
BACKGROUND:K-wire and steel wire tension band wiring is the most commonly method for the treatment of patel ar fracture. However, there have been many reports of complications related to the mental implants. Based on the reasons above, some scholars begin to replace the steel wire with braided polyester sutures for the treatment of patel ar fracture. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of patel ar ring pins and FiberWire braided polyblend sutures tension band fixation for treatment of patel ar fracture. METHODS:We performed a retrospective analysis involving 26 patients with patel ar fracture (16 males, 10 females, at the age of 36-54 years with a mean age of 44.6 years) who were treated with patel ar ring pins and FiberWire braided polyblend sutures tension band fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the patients were fol owed-up for 6-18 months, average of 12 months. Al patients were primary healing and achieved bone union in 8-16 weeks, averaged in 12 weeks from surgery. There was no fracture fragment displacement, internal fixation loosening and break. No pins protruding from the subcutaneous and irritate the skin. According to the Lysholm&Gil quist scales, 18 cases were excellent, four cases were good, and four cases were fair, with the excellent and good rate of 85%. Tension band fixation using patel ar ring pins and FiberWire braided polyblend sutures resulted in good outcomes with few complications.

BACKGROUND:It has been demonstrated that there are different expressions of fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) in most malignant tumors such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, lung carcinoma and bladder carcinoma;therefore, FABPs are closely related to the occurrence, metastasis, invasion and drug resistance of malignant tumors. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of fatty acid binding protein-5 (FABP-5) silencing on the proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of U251 cel s (human glioma cel s). METHODS:siRNA molecules targeting the mRNA of FABP-5 was designed and chenical y synthesized, which was transiently transfected into U251 cel s. U251 cel s were divided into three groups:Lv-shRNA-FABP-5 was added into FABP-5-shRNA group, LV-shRNA-NC added into negative control group, and blank control group underwent normal culture. mRNA and protein expressions of FABP-5 were detected by RT-PCR and western blot assay, respectively. The cel proliferation in vitro was determined by cel counting kit-8 assay, the cel cycle, apoptosis and expressions of CD44+and CD133+were detected by flow cytometry, and the apoptosis was observed using TUNEL staining. RESULTS AND COUNCLUSION:mRNA and protein expressions of FABP-5 in the FABP-5-shRNA group were significantly lower than those in the negative control and blank control groups. Compared with the negative control and blank control groups, the cel growth rate was significantly decreased, the cel cycle arrested in the G0/G1 phase, and the cel number in the S phase was decreased, and moreover, the proportion of CD44+/CD133+expression was significantly decreased in the FABP-5-shRNA group (P<0.05). Besides, compared with the negative control and blank control groups, the apoptosis rate was significantly increased, and the cel proliferation and invasiveness were significantly decreased in the FABP-5-shRNA group (P<0.05). In conclusion, it is possible that FABP-5 directly or indirectly regulates the cel cycle and apoptosis of glioma cel s, and its expression changes share a close relationship with the invasiveness of tumor cel s.

Objective To investigate the effects of different general anesthesia protocols on immune function in patients with oral malignant tumor. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients undergoing elective radical operation for oral malignant tumor were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 20 each): group Ⅰ total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA); group Ⅱ combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia (IV-INH) and group Ⅱ inhalational anesthesia (INN). Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol and remifentanll in group Ⅰ; with sevoflurane,propofol and remifentanil in group Ⅱ and with sevoflurane and remifentanil in group Ⅲ. Peripheral venous blood samples were taken at 30 min before (To) and 1 h (T1), 3 h (T2 ) and 5 h (T3) after induction of anesthesia, the end of operation (T4 ) and at 24 h (T5 ), 48 h (T6 ) and 72 h (T7) after operation for determination of the percentages of T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+ , CD4+ , CD8+ , CD4+/CD8+ ratio). Natural killer (NK) cells (CD16+ ,CD56+ ) and B lymphocyte (CD19+ ) with flow cytometer. Results The percentages of CD3+ , CD4+ , NK cells, B lymphocyte and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were significantly decreased during and after operation at T1-5 in all groups and the percentges of CD3+ ,CD4+ ,NK cells and CD4+/CD3+ ratio were decreased at T6 in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ as compared with the baseline values before anesthesia at To. The percentage of CD4+ cells and CD4+/CD8+ratio were significantly lower during anesthesia at T2,3,6 in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅰ . The percentages of CD4 +and NK cells and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were significantly higher after operation at T4,5 in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅲ.The percentages of CD3 + , CD4 + , NK cells and CD4 +/CD8 + ratio were significantly lower at T2-6 in group Ⅲthan in group Ⅰ . Conclusion TIVA with midazolam, propofol and remifentanil has less impact on immune function than inhalational and combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia in patients with oral malignant tumor under-going elective radical operation.
