The fracture healing time in the treated group was 12.4?2.5 weeks and that in the control group was 15.5?2.9 weeks,showing significant difference between them (P

Objective:To investigate the effect of intensive hypoglycemic therapy on the frequency of recurrent periodontitis in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Totally 40 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and recurrent periodontal disease were randomly divided into group A and group B. Group A was treated with the periodontal basic therapy combined with the convention-al hypoglycemic therapy. Group B was treated with the periodontal basic therapy combined with the intensive hypoglycemic therapy. Af-ter 6-month treatment,the change of the probing depth of the periodontal pocket, sulcus bleeding index, incidence frequency, recovery course, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and serum C-reactive protein levels were measured before and after treatment. Results:After the treatment, the indices were improved in group A except body mass index and fasting blood glucose (P<0. 05), and in group B, the indices were improved except body mass index (P<0. 05), and the probing depth of the periodontal pocket, sulcus bleeding index, incidence frequency, body mass index, serum C-reactive protein levels, glycosylated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose of the patients in group B were all better than those in group A (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Periodontal basic thera-py combined with intensive hypoglycemic therapy can effectively improve the periodontal health of diabetic patients, shorten the recov-ery treatment of periodontal disease, reduce the incidence frequency, and reduce blood glucose as well.

Objective To summarize complications and early clinical effect of less invasive stabilization system and the femoral condylar support plates in treatment of AO type C distal femoral fractures. Methods We reviewed 46 patients who had internal fixation of AO type C distal femoral fractures. Of all 46 patients, 25 were with less invasive stabilization sys-tem and 21 were with femoral condylar support plates fixation. Comparative analysis was performed using intraoperative in-dex, postoperative complications and the Evanich score at follow-up. Results All 46 patients were followed up with a mean time of 19.6 months after surgery. The difference in incision length, blood loss, fracture healing time was significant between the 2 groups(P＜0.05)but not in the duration of operations and hospital stays(P>0.05). The statistical signifi-cance was also found in the total incidence of postoperative complications and the Evanich score at the last follow-up(P＜0.05). Conclusion Patients with less invasive stabilization system fixation had the characteristics of less trauma, shorter fracture healing time, less postoperative complications and better functional recovery compared with femoral condylar sup-port plates. Less invasive stabilization system had became an ideal internal fixation in treatment of AO type C distal femoral fractures.

BACKGROUND:Construction of vascularized bone substitutes to mimic free vascularized fibular grafting in treating large bone defects stil remains chal enges to researchers during the past years.
OBJECTIVE:To design and construct a new vascularized tissue-engineered bone graft using pre-differentiated adipose derived stem cells, fibrin sealant and porous calcium phosphate cement scaffold.
METHODS:Adipose derived stem cells isolated from rats were directly differentiated to endothelial cells and then incorporated in fibrin sealant and porous calcium phosphate cement scaffolds in vitro. Subsequently, the different composites of the three groups including vascularized tissue-engineered bone scaffold (group A), fibrin sealant and porous calcium phosphate cement scaffold (group B) and porous calcium phosphate cement scaffold (group C) were directly embedded into the quadriceps of the rats. Histological quantitative analysis and western blot assay were conducted 2 and 4 weeks after implantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The pre-differentiated adipose derived stem cells were demonstrated in good condition after 7 days co-culturing with the fibrin sealant and porous calcium phosphate cement scaffold. The results of in vivo experiments showed that the scaffolds were in-grown together with fibrous connective tissues and blood vessels. Newly formed vessels and immature capil aries were observed in the group A. The vessel density, vessel diameter and vascular endothelial growth factor C expression in the group A were significantly higher than those in the groups B and C. Our findings demonstrated that compared with simply fibrin sealant and porous calcium phosphate cement scaffold, the combination of pre-differentiated adipose derived stem cells (endothelial differentiation) and fibrin sealant can achieve rapid angiogenesis of porous calcium phosphate cement scaffold.

BACKGROUND:As a bone scaffold material,β-tricalcium phosphate has good biocompatibility, osteoinductive, and biomechanical properties.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of al ogeneic osteoblasts compounded withβ-tricalcium phosphate in repairing rabbit radial defects.
METHODS:A total of 45 rabbit radial defect models were made and divided into three groups in random. Experimental group was repaired with the compound of al ogeneic osteoblasts andβ-tricalcium phosphate;
control group withβ-tricalcium phosphate;and blank control group with nothing. The new bone formation of each group was observed and assessed by X-ray and histopathological analysis at weeks 4, 8, 16 after implantation for evaluation of the bone repairing effect.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With the repair time, the experimental group appeared to complete bone defect repair gradual y. By the end of 16 weeks, the X-ray showed that the bone cal us between the scaffold and the host was completely ossified, and bone defects were completely repaired in the experimental group. Histopathological observation showed continuous cortical bone formed in the defect area, and canal recanalization realized in the experimental group. Additional y, the repair effect in the experimental group was better than that in the control and blank control group at different time points (P<0.01). It is suggested that the al ogenic osteoblasts/β-tricalcium phosphate compound has the better effects on guiding bone regeneration and preventing from nonunion.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of treating cervical prolapse of intervertebral disc by using Solis cage, titanium cage and autogenous iliac crest graft (AICG) combined with titanium plate. Methods 64 cases of cervical prolapse of intervertebral disc were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients were followed up for about one year. Group A is composed of 20 patients (30 intervertebral spaces) treated with microdiscectomy and Solis cage fusion;group B is composed of 21 patients(22 intervertebral spaces) treated with titanium cage and group C is involved of 23patients(28 intervertebral spaces) which were dealt with AICG combined with titanium plate. The differences in the to-tal X ray exposure time, time working on iliac bone, incidence of complications, fusion rate, incidence of JOA score recovery rate more than 50 % and rehabilitation time of the three groups are analyzed. Results All indexes from group A and B were more satisfactory than those from group C (P＜0. 05). The statistic analysis results of the incidence of complications of cervical part, rehabilitation time in group A are 5.0± 1.8, 5.1 ± 1.2; and that is 14.3±2.6, 7.5 ± 1.6and 26.1±6.2, 8.6±2.3 in group B and group C respectively. There is significant difference between group A and group B on the incidence of complications of cervical part and rehabilitation time (P＜0.05). Results of the incidence of JOA score recovery rate ＞ 50 % in group A(95.8 ± 3.2) was more satisfactory than that in group B(93.6 ± 2.9),while there was no statistical difference between group A and group B (P＞0.05). Conclusion The Solis cage is better in treating the cervical prolapse of intervertebral disc than other ways. Also, it makes the operation easier, rehabilitation time shorter, and it causes fewer complications.

In order to observe the damaged nerve successively, we used superficial magnetic stimulation motor evoked potential (MEP) in the pathological model of chronic compressed nerve of the cervical nerve roots of cats. We synthesized various change of the pathomorphology of the nerve damaged to different degrees, and discussed the relationship between the MEP and the pathomorphologic change of chronic compressed nerve roots. The results showed that the initial pathologic change of nerve with myelin was degeneration of myelin shealth. The MEP of the nerve also showed increased latency and dispersed wave forms. After that the axon of the demylinated nerve degenerated, splitted and had a peripheral Wallerian Degeneration. The MEP showed an increased latency along with decreased amplitude. The degree of the MEP's change accompanyed with pathologic change. So we believe that the magnetic compressed nerve. It has some reference value in figuring out the damage by analysing factors.
