BACKGROUND:Although cementation of polyethylene liner into a wel-fixed metal shel during the revision surgery has several advantages compared to total acetabular revision, there are some disputes about its clinical outcomes, especialy regarding the re-revision rate and the prosthetic survivorship. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of cementation of polyethylene liner into a wel-fixed acetabular cup in the revision after total hip arthroplasty with retained stable cup. METHODS:Between March 2012 and November 2014, nine patients underwent revision after total hip arthroplasty with cementation of polyethylene liner into a wel-fixed acetabular cup. There were 1 male and 8 females, aged 43.7 years on average. The time was 9.4 years on average from the primary total hip arthroplasty to revision. Harris Hip Score and prosthesis X-ray films were compared after revision. The effects and safety of cementation of polyethylene liner into a wel-fixed acetabular cup were further evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nine patients were folowed up for 8-37 months. The Harris hip scores before revision was (49.54±18.28) points previously, and (84.82±10.59) points during final folow-up (t=6.377, P < 0.05). One patient had re-revision surgery because of recurrent dislocation. There were not complications in other patients, resulting in failure rate of 11%. These results indicated that polyethylene liner cementation technique is safe and effective when the wel-positioned and wel-fixed acetabular cup retained.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the bioethical principles which should be followed in the epidemiological study of AIDS.METHODS Practicality of bioethical principles in epidemiological study of AIDS was evaluated by theoretical analysis method.RESULTS The important principles in the epidemiological study of AIDS are respect,beneficence/nonmaleficence and justice principles.CONCLUSIONS Following bioehical principle is the basis of epidemiological study of AIDS.

Objective To study the extraction process of Jiejiu Gankang granules by orthogonal test.Methods With the ethanol extraction rates of the medical materials like ginseng,radix salviae miltiorrhizae,the water extraction rates of the medical materials like hawthorn,and Tanshinone ⅡA as the parameters,the extract conditions of Jiejiu Gankang granules was optimized by orthogonal design.Results The optimal preparation process was as follows:the mixture of medical materials like ginseng and Schisandra chinensis was refluxed twice with total 10 times of 70% alcohol,2.0 hours for each time,and then the mixture of medical materials like hawthorn extracted twice with total 10 times of boiling water,2.0 hours for each time.Conclusion The optimal preparation process is reasonable and with high extraction rate of active components.

Aim To investigate the effects of ?,?-methylene ATP ( ?,?-MeATP) on the P2X1 purino-ceptor-mediated vasoconstriction by different administration ways in the rat mesenteric artery. Methods Isometric vasoconstrictive responses to ?,?-MeATP,administered in non-accumulative manner or single concentration manner,were recorded in the rat isolated mesenteric arterial rings. Results ?,?-MeATP ( 10 -7 ～ 10 -4 mol ? L -1 ) administered in both of the two manners produced concentration-dependent vasocon-strictive responses in the rat isolated mesenteric artery. The vasoconstrictive responses to ?,?-MeATP in single-concentration administration group were greater than those in non-accumulative administration group when the vasoconstriction was standardized either by tissue wet weight or by maximal response to 120 mmol ?L-1 KCl ( P

The thalamic reticular nucleus (RT) is a sheet-like nucleus which surrounds the anterolateral aspect of the dorsal thalamus. In this study, we present data on the connections of the dorsocaudal portion of the RT in hamsters using anterograde, retrograde and transneuroual fiber tracing techniques. After injection of one eye with a mixture of ~3H-proline and ~3H-fucose (2 animals; 10 and 15 days survival time), transneuronal label was located in the dorsocaudal portion of the RT (dc RT) on both sides of the thalamus.After separate injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into the thalamic lateral posterior nucleus (LP), dorsal and ventral nuclei of the lateral geniculate body (LGd, LGv) (8 animals, one day survival time), HRP labelled neurons wereobserved in the dorsal, middle and ventral area of the ipsilateral dc RT respectively.A small iontophoretic injection of a mixture of ~3H-proline and ~3H-leucine was made into different sites of area 17 in each of 3 hamsters (one day survival time),in each case an elongated patch of label was located in nearly the entire rostrocaudal extent of the ipsilateral dc RT. A caudal Injection in area 17 resulted in labelling the dorsal area while a progressively more rostral injection resulted in labelling a more ventral area of the dc RT.Thus, the dorsocaudal portion of the RT can be defined as the visual portion of the nucleus because it has connections with many of the known visual centres, namely, the visual cortex, LP, LGd, LGv Furthermore, because of the topographic connection with area 17 and the visual thalamic nuclei, the notion that the dc RT as a nucleus which is capable of processing specific and localised visual information. should be considered.

Objective To search for a candidate DNA vaccine of Fasciola hepatica. Methods Using RT-PCR and digestion with Hind III and BamHI, Fasciola hepatica secreted cathepsin L1(FheCL1) cDNA was cloned into the expression vector pcDNA3.1. Results The cloning was successful, the cDNA sequence and its deduced amino acid sequence were analyzed. There was much difference between the cloned FheCL1 and the published one. But the first 20 residues of their amino acid sequences were the same. Conclusion The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1-FheCL1 may be a new type of candidate DNA vaccine candidate for Fasciola hepatica. It is possible that Fasciola hepatica presents different sub-species but their amino acid residues (1 to 20) encoded by FheCL1 might build up membrane spanning helix.

Objective To study the effect of Nimotop on the permeability of blood-brain barrier (BBB) and cerebral infarction size after cerebral ischemic reperfusion (CIR) in rats.Methods CIR models were established by occluding unilateral middle cerebral arteries(MCA) of rats for 2 hours and then reperfused. The models were divided into 2 groups:Nimotop group and the saline control group,each group had CIR 6、12、24、48 and 72 h sub-groups. As soon as reperfusion,Nimotop or saline was abdominal abministrated(2 mg/kg weight) respectively per 12 h. Fluorophotometry and transmission electron microscopy were used to detect the permeability of BBB,the rate of infarction size was calculated by 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride(TTC) dyeing.Results Following reperfusion,the permeability of BBB and the rate of cerebral infarction size were increased. The permeability of BBB had two peaks. The first peak took place at 12h after CIR. The second peak was at 48 h after CIR. These changes were more severe in Nimotop group than in saline group( P

Objective:To explore stem cells phenotype of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-overexpressing breast cancer cells,MDA-MB-453 by isolation of CD44+CD24-/low and side population(SP).Analyze the relationship between SP cells and the gene amplification levels of the key proteins,?-catenin and Notch-1 in Wnt and Notch signal pathways.And study the correlation of SP cells and the gene amplification of HER2 and human epidermal growth factor receptor 3(HER3).Methods:CD44+CD24-/low and SP phenotype were studied in MDA-MB-453(HER2-overexpressing cell line)and MCF7(HER2 negative cell line)respectively by flow cytometry.The gene amplification of ?-catenin and Notch-1 in Wnt and Notch pathways were also studied by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The gene amplification levels of the proteins mentioned,HER2 and HER3 were roughly compared in MDA-MB-453 cells and their SP by RT-PCR.Results:There was no CD44+CD24-/low subpopulation in MDA-MB-453 cells,However,SP could be observed in MDA-MB-453.The gene amplification levels of ?-catenin and Notch-1 in Wnt and Notch pathways were both observed in MDA-MB-453 and MCF7.Their gene amplification levels were more evident in SP of MDA-MB-453 than in MDA-MB-453 cells.However,the similar gene amplification levels of HER2 and HER3 were observed.Conclusion:SP can be enriched in breast cancer stem cells of MDA-MB-453.Wnt and Notch pathways are activated in MDA-MB-453,which may be related to maintenance and activity of breast cancer stem cells of MDA-MB-453.
