Objective To examine the influence of inra-articular injection of tranexamic acid on blood loss after total knee replacement. Methods 50 patients with unilateral primary total knee replacement were enrolled and they were randomly divided into two groups:the stud-y group (n=25 cases),which were given intra-articular injection of tranexamic acid (1 000 mg) and drain clamping for 2 hour posteratively, and the control group ( n=25 cases) ,which were given physiologic saline. The blood loss,postoperative volume of drainage,hemoglobin lev-el,hematocrit,blood transfusion cases,D-dimer level and deep venous tromboemblic ( DVT) events were recorded. Results Postoperative volume of drainage,blood transfusion cases and D-dimer level were lower in the study group (P<0. 05). Hemoglobin level and hematocrit were higher in the study group (P<0. 05). No DVT ocurred in the two groups. Conclusion Intra-articular injection of tranexamic acid with 2 hours of drain-clamping is effective for reducing postoperative blood loss in total knee replacement, and there is noincrease of deep venous tromboemblic.

Objective To discuss the relationship between monocyte CD36 expression and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.Methods A total of 207 RA patients were divided into arteriosclerosis group and non-arteriosclerosis groups in accordance with the results of ultrasound in carotid artery,and semi-quantity score was used for cIMT in patients with RA.Risk factors of cIMT in RA patients were analyzed by Spearman correlation and Logistic regression analysis.Results C reactive protein (CRP),triglyceride (TG),tumor necrosis factor (TNF),interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte CD36 expression were found to be statistically different between the two groups (P ＜0.05).Monocyte CD36 fluorescence intensity was negatively correlated with TNF,IL-6,CRP and cIMT in patients with RA (r=-0.344,P＜0.01;r=-0.646,P＜0.01;r=-0.160,P=0.021;r=-0.687,P＜0.01).Logistic analysis showed that monocyte CD36 was associated with the formation of artery atheromatous plaque in patients with RA [OR=1.580,95％CI (1.057,2.36l),P＜0.01].Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) curve analysis showed that monocyte CD36 fluorescence intensity was useful when the value with the area under curve was 0.926,the sensitivity and specificity was 83.7％ and 82.5％ respectively.Conclusion Monocyte CD36 fluorescence intensity is correlated with artery atheromatous plaque in patients with RA,monocyte CD36 fluorescence intensity may be a marker to estimate cIMT in RA patients.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and ADR of blue and red light phototherapy combined with TCM exter-nal treatment in the treatment of ecthyma. METHODS:64 ecthyma patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by number with 32 cases in each group. Both groups were provided with intravenous drip of Erigeron injection and Shenxiong glucose injection to improve limb microcirculation. The experimental group was also provided with blue and red light phototherapy (blue light 20 min+ red light 20 min) combined with TCM external treatment once a day;while control group was provided with only TCM external treatment once a day. After 1 month treatment,clinical efficacy and healing time of 2 groups were observed and compared,and ADR monitoring was conducted. RESULTS:The cure rate of experimental group was 78.13%, and the total effective rate was 96.88%,which were higher than those of control group(40.63% and 81.25%),there was statisti-cally significant difference (P<0.05). The average healing time of experimental group was (18.75 ± 5.97) d,and that of control group was(27.12 ± 6.67)d;there was statistically significant difference between 2 groups (P<0.05). No ADR was found in 2 groups during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Blue and red light phototherapy combined with TCM external treatment in the treatment of ecthyma has the remarkable curative effect and good safety,and shorten the healing time.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of recombinant human parathyroid hormone 1-34 [rhPTH(1-34)] on bone regeneration rabbit mandible during distraction osteogenesis (DO).

METHODS40 Japanese white rabbit (weight 2.0-2.5 kg) were randomly divided into control group and groups. The experimental groups were divided inito 12.5, 25 and 50 µg/kg group according to the dosage of rhPTH (1-34) in each group. Each group involved 10 rabbits, and unilateral DO models were established at the right mandible of the rabbits. From the first day of distraction to the day of execution, the rabbits in the experimental groups were injected subcutaneously rhPTH (1-34) of the corresponding dose respectively, and the rabbits in the control group were injected subcutaneously 2% heat inactivated rabbit serum 1 ml respectively.. Five rabbits in each group were executed respectively at 1 week and 3 weeks after completion of distraction, and the specimens of DO were harvested. The gross observation, X-ray examination, and histological study were performed.

RESULTSGross appearance: At the first week of consolidation, the dense and opaque white tissue was seen in the distraction gap of the 50 µg/kg group, and the white translucent tissue was seen in the distraction gaps of the rest groups. At the third week of consolidation, the greyish white tissue was seen in the distraction gap of the control group, while the cartilage-like tissue was seen in the buccal side of the distraction gap of the 12.5 µg/kg group, the color of new-formed tissues was close to that of normal bone tissue in the lingual side. The buccal tissue at the edge of the distraction gap of the 25 µg/kg group fitted together with the primary bone tissue in its two sides. It was difficult to distinguish the boundaries between the distraction gap and the bone tissues in its two sides in the 50 µg/kg group. X-ray findings: At the first week of consolidation, a sparse opaque image was seen in the distraction gap of the 50 µg/kg group, and a low-density image was seen in the distraction gap of the rest groups. At the third week of consolidation, a sparse bone image was seen in the control group, and the edge of the bone was not continuous. With the increase of the dose in the experimental groups, the image of the distraction gap became more and more opaque, and the image of the distraction gap in the 50 µg/kg group was close to that of the normal bone tissue. HISTOLOGICAL FINDINGS: At the first week of consolidation, few osteoblasts were present at the edge of the distraction gap of the control group. A large number of bone cells and bone trabecular were present in the distraction gap of the 12.5 µg/kg group, the network of the bone trabecula was present in the 25 µg/kg group, and a few new bones were found in the 50 µg/kg group. At the third week of consolidation, the network of the trabecular bone was present in the distraction gap of the control group, while the network of the bone trabecula was present in the 12.5 µg/kg group, a lot of bone-like tissues in the 25 µg/kg group, and near-mature bone in the 50 µg/kg group.

CONCLUSIONSrhPTH(1-34) can promote the formation of new bone in the distracted gap during mandibular DO in rabbits.

P2X receptors are ligand gated ion channels, extracellular ATP is their natural extracellular ligand. When any of the subtypes of P2X receptors and extracellular ATP are combined, P2X channel opens, allowing cations (calcium, sodium, potassium, etc. ) pass through. Enteric nervous system is composed of the gut myenteric plexus and submucosal plexus, in both of which P2X receptors exist, mediating different effects under physiological and pathological conditions. In this paper, the enteric nervous system,P2X receptor distribution and related functions are reviewed in order to further explore the P2X receptor in the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal diseases.

BACKGROUND:Annulus puncture method is commonly reported in the establishment of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) models, but there is a lack of comparative studies concerning complete MRI, pathologyical and extracellular matrix changes. Thereafter, a further exploration is imperative. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of establishing IDD models using annulus puncture. METHODS:Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups (n=15 per group). In experimental group, through extraperitoneal approach, the L1-2, L2-3, and L3-4 intervertebral space were exposed, and then stabbed by 16-gauge hypodermic needles;while rabbits in sham operated group were only subjected to making and incision but not to puncture. Five rabbits in each group were randomly selected for MRI examination at 4, 8 and 16 weeks after modeling, and were sacrificed through air embolism to obtain the nucleus pulposus. Histological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the level of proteoglycan was detected by Safranin O staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the experimental group, T2-weighted signal in the disc was decreased in a time-dependent manner;an obvious reduction was found at 4 weeks after modeling, and reached the peak at 16 weeks. In contrast, the sham operated group showed no significant changes at each time point. Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that in the experimental group, cartilage-like cells decreased, while fibroblast-like cells in the disc increased in number and proportion, and extracellular fibers were in disorder;all above changes became obvious at 4 weeks after surgery and the most obvious at 16 weeks, but there were no significant changes in the sham operated group. Safranin O staining revealed that the color of the tissues under puncture became lighter, and this variation became overt at 4 weeks after surgery and the most obvious at 16 weeks. In conclusion, annulus puncture is a reliable method to make IDD models.

Erectile dysfunction was one of the most frequently postoperative complications after radical prostatectomy,which has been deeply concentrated by patients and urologists,along with more and more people were diagnosed as localized prostate cancer.Widely being used for erectile dysfunction after radical prostatectomy,the efficacy and safety of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors have been confirmed by many clinical studies.However,the influences of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors on the occurrence and progression of cancer are still not completely revealed at present.Additionally,the efficiency of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors on biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomny is still controversial,though it has been demonstrated that phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors is not associated with the occunrence of prostate cancer based on recent clinical studies.We will review the possibly mechanisms of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors in oncologic occurrence,especially in the occurrence of prostate cancer and its biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy.
