[Objective] To study the relationship between arthrochalasis and developmental dislocation of hip(DDH).[Methods]One hundred and seventy-six patients with DDH treated from Jaunary 2006 to December 2006 in the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were evaluated retrospectively.The average age was 3.54 years old(range,from 6 months to 15 years),with 153 females and 23 males.Eighty-four patients had both,58 left and 34 right.Totally 192 normal children were controls,and the average age was 3.67 years old(range,from 4 months to 15 years).The diagnosis of DDH was depended on clinical manifestations,radiography and ultrasonography.The criteria of arthrochalasia were the standards proposed by Wynne Davies.SPSS version 10.0 for Windows was used to perform statistical analysis.?2 test and spearman test was conducted for obtained data.A P

Objective To observe the effect of bcl-2 antisense oligodexyonucleotide (ASODN) by phosphorothiote-modification on the expression of bcl-2 mRNA and protein in human melanoma A375 cells line. Methods With the phosphorothiote-modification and liposome-encapsulation of ASODN, A375 cells were divided into ASODN group, nonsense oligodexyonucleotide (SODN) group and control group. Bcl-2 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Results The expression of bcl-2 protein was remarkably decreased in ASODN group than that in SODN group and control group (53.14 ±4.26 vs 138.22 ± 8.45, 53.14 ± 4.26 vs 141.08 ± 7.83, both P ＜ 0.01 ). The level of bcl-2 mRNA was significantly lower than that in SODN group and control group (0.38 ± 0. 11 vs 0.96 ±0.13, 0. 38 ± 0.11 vs 0. 97 ± 0. 14, both P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion Bcl-2 antisense oligodexyonucleotide could down-regulate the bcl-2 level and block its protein expression.

To investigate clinical features of somatization disorder. Methods Seventy-nine paeeeeee with somatization disorder (SD), diagnosed based on the Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria of Mental Disorders, version 3 ( CCMD-3 ) during September 2006 to August 2008, were selected and assessed by serf-edited somatic symptom list ( SSSL), symptom checklist-90 ( SCL-90 ), Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD). Results Sixty-two symptoms in two to six systems were involved in SDs, with a mean and standard deviation of 12.4 ± 6.6 symptoms in 4.2 ± 0.9 systems. The skin, nervous system, gastrointestinal system, respiratory and circulatory systems were the most involved in those symptoms. Depression, anxiety and hostile mood, number and total score of somatic symptoms all correlated positively with the total scores of HAMA and scores of somatic anxiety and mental anxiety (P < 0.01 ), but not with the total score of HAMD (P > 0.05 ). Conclusions Multiple systems were involved in SD, usually with complicated symptoms including depression and anxiety, which was prone to inappropriate medical diagnoses. Number and severity of somatic symptoms positively correlated with severity of anxious symptoms.

[Objective] This study examined the distribution and the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A) in the ligamentum teres of children with developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) and normal persons in order to investigate the roles of PDGF-A in hip joint laxity. [Methods]There were six pairs of joint laxity of children with DDH and normal children (control group) matched to gender and age. Immunohistochemistry (SP method) method was used to detect the location and distribution of the PDGF-A in the ligamentum teres,and to semi-quantify their content.Semiquantitative RT-PCR method was used to detect the PDGF-A in the ligamentum teres at mRNA level. The quantitative analysis of the PDGF-A was performed by professional image software and the results were analyzed with standard statistical methods.[Results]High density expression was observed in the synovial layer with fibroblast regularly arranged parallel to the joint surface in the ligamentum teres. PDGF-A distribution was decreased in the fibrous layer of the ligamentum teres. There were significant differences in the percentage of positive fibroblast and gray-scale density in the fibrous layer between DDH group and control group (P

Equipping tumor-targeting carrier with cell-penetrating peptide with high transduction efficacy has become a trend. According to the fusion modes and tumor-targeting mechanisms, cell-penetrating peptides can be divided into five categories: first, self-targeting cell-penetrating peptides; second, fusion carriers made of targeting ligands and cell-penetrating peptides; third, cell-penetrating peptide-modified nano-carrier; fourth, tumor-microenvironment-targeting cell-penetrating peptides; fifth, other special cell-penetrating peptides. Fusion carriers, which can not be effectively released into the cytoplasm after transducted into target cells, can be further modified to increase their efficacy. In all, cell-penetrating peptide introduced into tumor-targeting carrier should provide a new era for anti-tumor pharmacy research and cancer therapy.

Objective To evaluate the influences of laryngeal mask airway(LMA) combined with epidural anesthesia on hemodynamics in hypertensive patients.Methods 72 gynecological patients with stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ hypertension were randomly divided into four groups(n=18 for each):general anesthesia with tracheal intubation(group G) or LMA(group L),combination of epidural anesthesia and general anesthesia with tracheal intubation(group GE) or LMA(group LE).BP,HR,ECG,SpO2 were monitored in different time.Intraoperative awareness,the time of extubation or LMA removal and anesthetic dosages were recorded.Results During insertion of the tube or LMA,SBP,DBP,HR were significantly higher than those before anesthesia in group G and GE(P

AIM:Spondylolisthesis is a common spinal disease for adults but rarely found in children.In this study,the treatment effect of spondylolisthesis in 7 children with posterior pedicle screw system after 1 year was explored.METHODS:①Eight children patients with spondylolisthesis treated in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between January 1996 and December 2006 were selected including 4 males and 4 females.The average age was 12.25 years(range,8-14 years).According to Meyerding classification,7 cases were of stage Ⅰand one of Ⅳ.②Texas Scottish Rite Hospital(TSRH) posterior pedicle screw system was provided by Wego Ortho Co.,Ltd.,GB1Z type,titanium,No.200511028009.Of the 8 cases,4 were treated by TSRH posterior pedicle screw system,3 were treated via a Wiltse paraspinal approach with autogenous bone graft placed between the transverse processes of L5 and sacral ala in situ fusion,and 1 was not treated by operation.The informed consent of treatment was obtained from the patients.③The changes in the spinal radioactive imaging before and after operation,and the material and host biocompatibility were observed.RESULTS:①Seven of 8 cases were followed up.The mean time of follow-up was 56.6 months with a range from 13 to 111 months.②Three of 4 cases treated by TSRH were vertebral completely reduction with the stability of instrumentation about 75%(3/4),and the other one was partly reduction(about 85%).One person developed the progress again in the X-ray films at three weeks after operation.Three cases treated by Wiltse paraspinal approach with autogenous bone graft placed between the transverse processes of L5 and sacral ala in situ fusion healed well without the recurrence of lumbosacral spondylolisthesis and nonunion.CONCLUSION:TSRH is an efficient and safety option for the treatment of spondylolisthesis in children.

OBJECTIVE: To present our experience of manipulation under general anesthesia for treating postoperative hip joint stiffness in children.METHODS: 193 children (226 hips) with postoperative joint stiffness were retrospectively studied at the Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Shengjing Hospital, China Medical University from January 1978 to December 2005, comprising 53 males and 140 females, aged 1-14 years old. 226 hips with postoperative stiffness from open reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) (155 cases with 188 hips) and capsulotomy for hip sepsis or tuberculosis (38 cases with 38 hips) were retrospectively reviewed. All patients laid on the surgical table supinately under general anesthesia. The assistant fixed the pelvic with palms. The operator manipulated the hip joint with 3 steps: flexed hip joint slowly and gently to 110°-120° or more; then abducted and externally rotated hip joint; adducted and internally rotated the hip. Then 3-step passive manipulation was repeated for once at least. As soon as the patient waked from general anesthesia, Continuous passive motion was applied for the affected hip with the range of motion increasing daily for 1-2 weeks. They were followed averagely 15 months (6-24 months) to evaluate the promoted range of motion in flextion-extension and adduction-abdduction.RESULTS: 186 hips (82.3%) succeeded in manipulation in addition to 34 failure hips (15%) and 6 hips (2.7%) with femoral neck fracture. The successful rate, promoted range of motion in group of ≤6-year-old and group of ≤12-month-duration from primary surgery were significantly higher, femoral neck fracture rate was less than those in group of >6 years of age and group of >12-month-duration from primary surgery.CONCLUSION: Passive manipulation under general anesthesia is a safe, uninvasive and effective method in treating postoperative hip stiffness in children. Younger age (≤6 years) and less duration from the primary surgery (≤12 months) would yield better result.
