[Objeetive] To assess the reproducibility and accuracy of four ratios used to measure patellar height,named the Blackburne-Peel,Caton Deschamps,Insall-Salvati and modified Insall-Salvati,before and after totalknee arthroplasty.[Methods]The patellar height was measured,by means of the four ratios,on the pre-and post-operative lateral radiographs of 44 patients(45 knees)who had undergone total knee arthroplasty.Two independent observers measured the films sequentially,in identical conditions,totally 720 measurements per observer.[Results]Before operation there was greater interobserver variation using either the Insall-Salvati or modified Insall-Salvati ratios than that when using the Caton-Deschamps or Blackburne-Peel methods.This was due to difficulty in identifying the insertion of the patellar tendon.Before operation,there was a minimal difference in reliability between these methods.After operation the interobserver difference was greatly reduced using both the Caton-Deschamps and Blackburne-Peel methods,which used the prosthetic joint line,compared with the Insall-Salvati and modified Insall-Salvati,which refered to the insertion of the patellar tendon.[Conclusion]The theoretical advantage of using the Insall-Salvati and modified Insall-Salvati ratios in measuring true patellar height after total knee arthroplasty needs to be balanced against their significant interobserver variability and inferior reliability when compared with other ratios.

Objective To study the effects of Fasudil on expression of Nogo-A and NF200 in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) rats.Methods One hundred and twenty 7-day-old Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups with random number table:Sham operation group (n =40),HIBD group (n =40) and Fasudil group (n =40).Sham group only separated from the common carotid artery,without ligation,direct suture the incision does not do hypoxia; HIBD group were injected with saline; Fasudil group was injected with fasudil(10 mg/kg).The rats were killed at 6 h,12 h,24 h,72 h,7 d,after administration.The pathological changes were observed by means of HE.The expression of Nogo-A and NF200 was studied with immunohistochemical staining.Results 1.Naked eye observation:Sham group bilateral symmetrical cerebral hemispheres; HIBD group of brain edema aggravated,the visible hemisphere focal necrosis; fasudil treatment group of edema than HIBD group ease.2.HE stain:the structure and shape of brain in Sham operation group were normal.In HIBD group,the cells became edema,karyopyknosis,lyse,and the inflammatory cells became more.The number of edema cells and karyopyknosis decreased in Fasudil group.3.Immunohistochemical stain:there were less expressions of Nogo-A in Sham operation group.It increased slightly after 12 h in HIBD group but decreased later.The expression of Nogo-A in Fasudil group was less than the other two groups at any time except 6 h (P ＜0.01).There was more expression in HIBD and Fasudil group compared with Sham operation group(P ＜0.01).NF200 was less expression in Sham operation group.NF200 appeared after 6 h and became less after 12 h.The expression of NF200 was at 24 h and later became more.The expression of NF200 in Fasudil group was more with HIBD group at each different time (P ＜ 0.01).The expressions of NF200 in Fasudil and HIBD group were more compared with Sham operation group.Conclusions Fasudil can rehabilitate the damaged axon and promote nerve regeneration through controlling the Rho/Rock and make the expression of NF200 increase.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to observe and compare the influences of the casting alloy post and cores on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

METHODSSix casting alloy post and sores were fabricated for the experimental groups, and zirconia post and core served as the control. The seven types of post and cores were of the same size and shape. Each post and core was orally fastened to a volunteer and then imaged with sequences of T1-weighted spin echo imaging (SE-T1WI), T2-weighted turbo spin-echo imaging (TSE-T2WI), and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI).

RESULTSCobalt chromium alloy post and core generated severe artifacts, whereas gold palladium alloy post and core generated no obvious artifacts, and no difference was observed between the zirconia and the gold palladium alloy post and cores (P > 0.05). The pure titanium alloy post and core produced mild artifacts. The post and cores of the titanium, nickel-cadmium, and gold platinum alloys generated moderate artifacts with no significant differences (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONDifferent metal post and cores have different influences on MRI. With the exception of that generated by cobalt chromium alloy, the artifact generated by the single-alloy post and core does not influence the image of the normal head and neck.
