This study was aimed to compare the mechanical characteristics under different physiological load conditions with three-dimensional finite element model of rigid fixation and elastic fixation in the lumbar. We observed the stress distribution characteristics of a sample of healthy male volunteer modeling under vertical, flexion and extension torque situation. The outcomes showed that there existed 4-6 times pressure on the connecting rod of rigid fixation compared with the elastic fixations under different loads, and the stress peak and area of force on elastic fixation were much higher than that of the rigid fixations. The elastic fixation has more biomechanical advantages than rigid fixation in promoting interbody lumbar fusion after surgery.

significantly increased (all P < 0.01). Following SREBP-1 was down-regulated by siRNA, high glucose-stimulated TGF-β1 and FN protein expressions were decreased by 17.9% and 24.6% ,respectively(all P<0.01).

Objective To investigate the C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and its macrovascular complications. Methods Serum CRP levels were assayed by ELISA, which were determined in type 2 DM patients with or without macrovascular complication (88 and 64 cases respectively), non-DM patients presenting with macrovascular disease (72 cases), as well as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) (62 cases) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (70 cases) patients and normal controls (80 subjects). Results In general, CRP levels in IGT patients, type 2 DM patients and non-DM patients presenting with macrovascular disease were higher than those of normal controls (P

Objective To evaluate the influence of chronic urticaria on the quality of life in patients by the DLQI, and to assess the factor structure and reliability of the DLQI. Methods The DLQI (Chinese version) was used to evaluate the quality of life of outpatients with CU. The reliability and factor structure of the DLQI were evaluated by reliability analysis and factor analysis. Results Eighty-five patients were asked to complete the DLQI and 13 patients were excluded for other complicated disorders or unanswered items in the DLQI. The mean age was 33.43 ± 0.90 years in the 72 patients with a median clinical course of 6 months. The DLQI score, which varied from 1 to 23 with an average of 9.46 ± 0.61, was uncorrelated to the patients' age,sex, or clinical course of CU (all P ＞ 0.05). The impact of CU was observed mainly on the "synptoms and feeling" (50%), followed by "work and study" (40.67%). Factor analysis indicated that there were two dimensions with eigenvalues greater than 1.0, accounting for 53.7% of the variances. Reliability analysis showed that the Cronbach's α value was 0.836, and reached 0.849 if the item 1 in the DLQI was deleted. An analysis of variance showed that the F value was 31.88 (P ＜ 0.01 ), and Hotelling T2 test yielded an F value of 29.87 (P ＜0.01 ). Conclusions CU has a moderate impact on the quality of life in patients. DLQI can be applied to the evaluation of quality of life in patients with CU with a high reliability, but more attention should be paid to the interference from item 1 to the reliability of the assessment.

BACKGROUND:Diabetic foot ulcers threaten the patients’ health and even survival seriously. It is an international difficult problem and lacks an effective treatment. But gene therapy and stem celltherapy possess special advantages and potential in wound healing. OBJECTIVE:To assess the therapeutic effect of transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfected by human vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (hVEGF165) gene on foot wound healing in diabetic rats. METHODS:Recombinant adenovirus was established in vitro which expressed hVEGF165 gene and transfected into the third generation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Total y 120 male Wistar rats were divided into five groups:group A (non-diabetic controls), group B (diabetic controls), group C (Ad-hVEGF165 therapy), group D (stem celltherapy) and group E (transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfected by Ad-hVEGF165 gene). Rats in the latter four groups were intraperitoneal y injected with streptozotocin to induce diabetic models. In al rats, a 3 mm×7 mm rectangular ful-thickness skin sample was cut from the instep of the hind foot to make a model of foot wound. The rats were subcutaneously injected at equidistant six points 5 mm distal to the wound edge on the dorsum of the foot:50μL PBS per point for group A, 50μL adenovirus suspension (1×1013 pfu/L) per point for group C, 50μL stem cellsuspension (1×1010/L) per point for group D, and 50μL adenovirus suspension+50μL stem cellsuspension per point for group E. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After injection, the rate of wound healing, the expression of VEGF and the qualities of capil aries in group E were higher when compared with groups B, C, D (P<0.05), but were lower than those in group A (P<0.05). Transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfected by hVEGF165 gene can promote foot wound healing, angiogenesis and expression of VEGF in diabetic rats.

BACKGROUND:Polychlorinated biphenyls inhibit the differentiation of P19 cels into cardiomyocytes. In the meanwhile, microRNAs play an important role in regulating cel differentiation.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of microRNA-32(miR-32) on the polychlorinated biphenyls-inhibited differentiation of P19 cels into cardiomyocytes.
METHODS:P19 cels were co-cultured with 2.5 μmol/L polychlorinated biphenyls and 1% dimethyl sulfoxide. Afterwards, α-actinin, desmin, cTnI and GATA4 were identified by western blot assay.Wddwxrof polychlorinated biphenyls on the expression of miR-32 was evaluated by real-time PCR. Mouse eukaryotic vector expressing miR-32 was constructed by gene recombination technology,andtransfected into P19 celsfolowed byco-culturedwith2.5 μmol/Lpolychlorinated biphenylsand1% dimethyl sulfoxide. Then, expressions of differentiation-related proteins were detected by western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Polychlorinated biphenylsinhibited the differentiation of P19 cels into cardio myocytes anddecreased the miR-32 expression. Cel lines overexpressing miR-32 was successfuly established in mice.Furthermore, we found thatoverexpression of miR-32 weakens the inhibition of polychlorinated biphenyls to the differentiation of P19 cels into cardiomyocytes.

Objective To discuss the repairing methods of the wound after upper lip lesion excision.Methods The wound after upper lip lesion excision was repaired by expanded pedicled submental flap.The 3 cm-long incision was located in 1 cm to sub-mandible.The 100 ml expander was placed beneath the platysma,and the aqueducts and spigots of the expanders were laid out of the skin.After complete expansion,the spastic scars of the upper lip and nasal bottom were resolved,the nasal columella and upper lip were put back to the normal position.The pedicled submental flap was transferred to the wound after upperlip excision according to the size of the wound.The pedicle was severed after 3 weeks.Results There were 5 cases of the expanded pedicled submental flap to repair the wound after upper lip excision.The flap survived without complications.The appearances were satisfied by the patients.Conclusions The method of the expanded submental flap is suitable for the wound after upper lip excision.
