Objective To investigate the effect of femoral head replacement for the treatment of intertrochanteric frac -tures among elderly patients .Method There were 38 cases that received intertrochanteric fracture hemiarthroplasty and 35 patients were treated with open reduction and dynamic hip screw ( DHS) plate internal fixation .After follow-up, their opera-tion duration,blood loss, postoperative drainage flow , postoperative ambulation time , hospitalization time were compared according to the Harris score to assess the effect of postoperative follow-up.Results After the mean follow-up time of 18 months (12 to 36 months),the hemiarthroplasty group was superior to the open reduction and DHS plate fixation group ,as shown by the earlier postoperative ambulation time , fewer complications , and better fracture reduction , with an excellent rate of 94 .7%.Conclusion For patients with intertrochanteric fractures , hemiarthroplasty surgery is effective and can re-duce the incidence of postoperative complications .

Objective To compare DHS(dynamic hip screw )with PFNA(proximal femoral nail antirotation) treatment for intertrochanteric fractures and to analyze their postoperative complications .Methods A total of 107 patients with inter-trochanteric fractures were treated with DHS and PFNA fixation respectively .The type of fracture , postoperative complica-tions and overall efficacy were compared .Results After the follow-up of 28(24 to 36) months.DHS group had a higher overall incidence of postoperative complications than the PFNA group and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05).Conclusion In order to reduce the intertrochanteric fracture fixation complications , the type of fracture, osteoporo-sis and biomechanical fixation characteristics need to be considered when selecting surgical procedures .Postoperative func-tional rehabilitation is to be improved .The curative effect of PFNA is better than that of DHS .

Objective Describes the changes of arterial blood gas analysis and pulmonary functions of emphysematous rabbits after unilateral and bilateral lung volume reduction surgery.Methods Sixty rabbits were randomly and equally divided into 6 groups:control group(A),emphysema group( B),unilateral sham operation group(C),unilateral lung volume reduction surgery group( D),bilateral sham operation group( E ) and bilateral lung volume reduction surgery group(F).Obstructive emphysema was induced with somg and papain in tie rabbits of the remaining groups except the control one.Eight weeks later,arterial blood gas analysis and pulmonary functions were detected.Results Compared with group B,pH,PaO2,PaCO2,SaO2,forced expirratory volume in 0.5 s,froced expiratory capacity,functional residual capacity,total lung capacity,dynamic compliance,and resistance in expiartory phase could be improved in group D ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The amelioration of those results were more obvious in group F ( P ＜0.05).Two rabbits in group F died after opertation.Conclusion Bilateral lung volume reduction surgery could more markedly improve the arterial blood gas analysis and pulmonary functions of emphysematous rabbits than unilateral operation.

Objective To summarize the early experience of thymectomy by robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) with the da Vinci S Surgical System.Methods A total of 16 patients was underwent thymectomy from October 2016 to May 2017 by RATS.Among them,there were 10 cases of thymic hyperplasia,5 cases of thymoma and 1 case of thymic small cell carcinoma,including 11 cases of myasthenia gravis (MG).The Osserman types were as follows:type Ⅰ (5),type ⅡA (3),type ⅡB (2),and type Ⅲ (1).Clinical data were collected and analyzed.Results The operations were successfully accomplished by RATS in all the 16 patients without any conversion to open surgery and major complication.The docking time was 2-45 (11.69 ± 11.03) min.The operation time was 47-152 (84.06 ± 25.67) min.The blood loss was 0-150 (57.50 ± 37.32) ml.The diameter of thymus or tumor was 4-19.5 cm and (8.22 ± 3.64) cm.Fourteen cases were removed tracheal intubation in the operation day,and the other 2 cases taked off in 6th and 8th days.One case occurred myasthenia gravis crisis after surgery.All patients were followed up for 2-7 months after discharge without MG recurrence.Conclusions The da Vinci S Surgical System can be safely,accurately and stably used for thymectomy.

Objective:To explore the effects of superparamagnetic iron oxide-short hairpin RNA ( SPIO-ShRNA) dual functional molecular probes of different concentrations on morphology and biological beha -vior of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells in vitro.Methods:The dual functional molecular probes at an iron concentration of 5, 15, 30, 45, 75, and 100 mg/L were transfected into SKOV3 cells.The transfection rate of the probe was observed by fluorescence microscope .The distribution and content of iron particles in SKOV3 cells were determined by Prussian blue staining , atomic adsorption spectrometer and electron microscopy .Cell viability was observed by cell counting kit-8 ( CCK-8 ) .The apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry .The expression of protein within the cells was detected by Western blot .The changes of the signal intensity were measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Results: The SPIO-ShRNA dual functional molecular probe was uptaken in aconcentration-dependence manner within a certain range (5-30 mg/L) .When the concentration of the probe was 45 mg/L, the labeling rate of the cell was close to 100%;With the increase of the concentration of probe , the cell survival rate decreased gradual-ly.The cell survival rate of each experimental group were 94.626%±1.050%, 93.373%±1.180%, 91.700%±3.122%, 75.100%±4.362%, 72.983%±3.233%, 71.010%±2.910%,5, 15, 30mg/L cell survival rate was not significantly decreased , the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.226, P=0.068, P=0.475);When the concentration of the probe was greater than or equal to 45 mg/L,the survival rate decreased obviously ( P<0.001);Group of 45 mg/L protein expression rate was 68.905%± 3.510%, When the concentration of the probe was greater than or equal to 45 mg/L, the inhibition rate of the protein expression level of epidermal growth factor receptor was obviously higher than those of 5, 15, and 30 mg/L groups, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001, P=0.001, P=0.003, all P<0.01);the MRI displayed that the signal intensity was decreased with increasing concentrations of the probe.The signal intensity of 45 mg/L group was 165.55 ±4.92, compared with the blank control group (same volume of phosphate buffer saline ), normal group(unlabeled ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells), 5, 15, and 30 mg/L groups , the signal intensity of 45 mg/L group decreased significantly (all P<0.001).Con-clusion:The dual functional molecular probe can effectively transfect and specifically inhibit the expression of SKOV3 cell lines at the iron concentration of 45 mg/L, and can also be detected by MRI .The role of diagnosis and treatment of the dual functional molecular probe has been initially confirmed .

OBJECTIVETo construct a cDNA library of osteosarcoma SAOS-2 cells and screen the proteins interacting with the bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) to explore the role of BMP-2 in the development of prostate cancer.

METHODSThe total RNA was extracted from SAOS-2 cells, from which poly(A)(+)RNA was purified to generate the cDNA using RT-PCR with primer SMARTIII and primer CDSIIIoligo(dT). The library was constructed and screened by cotransformation of the double-stranded cDNA (dscDNA) and linearized pGADT7-Rec with the bait plasmid to the yeast AH109. The proteins interacting with BMP-2 were screened by AH109 mating with the bait strain Y187, and the interaction was confirmed using far-Western blot analysis.

RESULTSThe cDNA library of human osteosarcoma SAOS-2 cells was constructed, which was characterized by high diversity and sufficient capacity. The dscDNA size range was between 250-5000 bp, with a cotransformation efficiency of 4.3 x 10(5) and recombination efficiency of 1.9 x 10(6), and 4.3 x 10(5) clones were screened. The mating efficiency was 32% and 1.0 x 10(6) clones were screened by the bait of BMP-2, and 4 positive clones was obtained and sequenced.

CONCLUSIONThe diversity and capacity of the cDNA library meet the needs for screening genes related to prostate cancer.
