OBJECTIVETo establish objectively biomechanical criteria for temporomandibular joint disc tissue engineerings.
METHODSEight temporomandibular joint discs from a four-month-old goat were separated completely. A cylindrical sample with diameter of 3 mm in the anterior, intermediate, and posterior bands was obtained, and the samples underwent pre-compression test with three cycles under a speed of 0.025 mm · s⁻¹. With the end condition for the maximum load of less than 4.9 N and 1.5 mm compression displacement, the formal compression test was performed with the same speed. Moreover, this test obtained the stress-strain relationship and elastic modulus of each disc band. Ultrastructure and collagen fiber orientation of the district zone were observed by scanning electron microscope and polarized light microscope.
RESULTS1) The physiological strain range of an articular disc was within 10%, and the quasilinear constitutive equation of articular disc tissues can be fitted with the polynomial function: y = ax + bx² + cx³. 2) The elastic modulus of the intermediate disc zone was the largest (P < 0.05). No significant difference existed between the anterior and posterior bands (P = 0.361). 3) Scanning electron microscope and polarized light microscope showed an annular disc collagen network structure, which was the internal part of the goat temporomandibular joint disc. The collagen arrangement of intermediate bands was tensely arranged anterior-posteriorly. The collagen of anterior and posterior bands went through mediolaterally with intersection of anterior-posterior branch fibersd.
CONCLUSIONAnnular collagen network structure is the basis for goat temporomandibular joint disc compression resistance properties. The intermediate band demonstrated higher compression resistance performance than the anterior and posterior bands.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and therapeutic methods of bac-terial colonization and infection of Acinetobacter baumannii on the wound of earthquake induced patients. Methods A retrospective study was done on 42 Wenehuan earthquake induced patients with positive wound germiculture of Acinetobacter baumannii. There were 24 males and 18 females, at mean age of 37 years (12-96 years). Open injury was located at the upper arm in one patient, at the forearm in four, at the thigh in 12, at the calf in 23 and at the trunk in two. The time between injury and treatment varied from 3 to 7 days. The clinical characteristics including the bacteria identification and drug sensitivity test were studied to compare drug resistance to 15 antibiotics. Results Bacterial colonization of Acineto-bacter baumannii was found in 31 patients (8.2%) and infection of Acinetobacter baumannii in 11 (2.9%). After debridement, pruphylactic antibiotics and nutrition support, 15 patients with bacterial colonization were managed with Ⅱ stage suture or skin grafting. The other 16 patients were transferred to hospitals of other provinces after germiculture turned negative. Through debridement and drainage, antibi-otic therapy and nutrition support, the infection was controlled and the wound eliminated in six patients through Ⅱ stage suture but four were concomitant with pulmonary infection and one with septicemia. Drug sensitivity test showed that sensitive rate to imipenem, amikacin, levofloxacin, ticarcillin-clavulanic acid, tobramycin were 59.5%, 21.4%, 21.4%, 19.5% and 19.0% respectively. Conclusions The risk factors of infection of Acinetobacter baumannii include severe tissue trauma, severe wound contamination, delayed treatment and weak body resistance. During treatment, the bacterial colonization and infection of Acinetobacter baumannii should be distinguished and treated respectively. Correct wound treatment, suit-able antibiotic therapy and increased body resistance are key to improvement of clinical curative effect.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,antibiotic susceptibilities and serotypes of Group B Streptococcus(GBS)isolated from neonatal meningitis to provide references for the prevention and treatment of neonatal GBS meningitis. Methods From June 2013 to June 2016,we surveyed the GBS strains iso-lated from purulent meningitis of < 90 days infants from Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center. The GBS isolates were identified and the minimum inhibitory concentration of the antibiotics was determined by Vitek 2 Compact automatic bacterial identification system.GBS serotyping was performed using Strep-B-Latex?rapid latex agglutination test kit. Results A total of 46 cases of neonatal GBS meningitis,15 cases of early-onset infection and 31 cases of late-onset infection were diagnosed. 78.3% of GBS meningitis with varying degrees of complica-tions.Among 41 survivors with 3~24 months follow-up,50% of the early-onset and 44.8% of the late-onset GBS meningitis with varying degrees of neurological sequelae.Four capsular types were identified among the 46 isolates, serotype-Ⅲwas the most prevalent(73.9%),followed by Ib(19.6%),V(4.3%)and Ia(2.2%).All the isolates were susceptible to penicillins,cephalosporins,linezolid and vancomycin. Conclusion The highly pathogenic serotype-Ⅲ was the predominant serotype among neonatal GBS meningitis in Guangzhou,Therefore,it is neces-sary to strengthen the epidemiological surveillance of GBS invasive infection and the effective implementation of pre-ventive measures.
