Objective To screen altered proteins of hippocampus in the stress-induced depression (STRID) rat model, and explore the potential molecular mechanism. Methods Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control group and STRID group, 10 rats in each group. Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) methods including fasting for solids and liquids, electric foot-shock, reversing day and night, cold water swimming, cage tilt, scare stimulation and tail pinch were conducted on STRID rats with no repeats for 28 days to make up the depression animal model. The control group was normally fed during this period. After the stress stimulation, the hippocampus protein samples were used for two dimensional electrophoresis to screen the differentially expressed protein, and then mass spectrum identification and function analyze were conducted. Results Compared with the control group, 34 proteins were altered in STRID group. Among which, 18 were up-regulated, and 16 were down-regulated. The differentially expressed proteins mainly located in cytoplasm, mitochondrion, extracellular exosome and myelin sheath. The involved signaling pathways included metabolic pathway, oxidative phosphorylation pathway, and Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease pathways. Conclusion The altered proteins and dysfunction of nerve signaling, and the excess of oxidative phosphorylation in hippocampus of STRID rats may be one of the pathogenesises.

BACKGROUND:It is important to maintain the height of joint line in total knee arthroplasty or renovation. Foreign scholars have reported the parameters of the distance from different landmarks to knee joint line, but there is stil a lack of relevant data for Chinese people. OBJECTIVE:To explore the relationships of the knee anatomic landmarks and joint line in normal Chinese, thereby providing clinical evidence for primary total knee replacement and knee renovation. METHODS:Totaly 746 normal knee joints of 409 healthy volunteers from North China and Southwest China were randomly enroled, including 214 males and 195 females, with a mean age of 37.7 years. CT scan was used to reconstruct the three-dimensional knee joint, and the distance between the anatomic landmarks and the joint line was measured using Mimics software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The distance from the center of femoral medial sulcus to the joint line was (25.72±2.52) mm. The distance from the center of lateral femoral condyle prominence to the joint line was (26.30±2.65) mm. The distance from the adduction muscle tubercle to the joint line was (44.60±4.32) mm. The distance from the peak of the tibial tubercle to the joint line was (21.50±3.57) mm. These parameters in male group were significantly higher than those in female group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, these findings provide anatomic evidence for the recovery of joint line in knee replacement or renovation; the variability of the distance from the center of femoral medial sulcus, lateral femoral condyle prominence and adductor tubercle to the joint line is smaler, and therefore, these landmarks have more reference values in total knee arthroplasty.

Objective: To discuss the surgical technique of lateral unicondylar knee replacement (UKR) for patients with lateral compartment osteoarthritis and evaluate its recent clinical efficacy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 22 cases of lateral compartment osteoarthritis patients receiving lateral UKR at Orthopedic Department, Beijing Chao Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2016 to January 2019.There were 8 males (8 knees) and 14 females (14 knees), aged 65.7 years(range: 54 to 83 years).All patients completed preoperative imaging examination and excluded extra-articular deformity.Lateral parapelatellar approach was used for the operation and the tibial osteotomy was performed by extramedullary positioning.The residual cartilage of the external condyle was removed by pendulum saw to subchondral bone.Appropriate prosthesis were selected, and the tightness of the gap and the stability of the joints were repeatedly confirmed during the operation.The postoperative complications and the results of physical and imaging examinations were collected.The preoperative and postoperative Oxford knee Score (OKS) and knee society score (KSS) of patients were recorded and compared by paired t test. Results: All patients were followed up for 24.6 months (range: 8 to 40 months).No complications such as incision exudation, skin necrosis and deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs were found after the operation.No cases of prosthesis loosening, excessive wear of pads, dislocation and postoperative infection were found at the last follow-up.The OKS decreased from 46.5±3.1 preoperative to 22.4±3.3 postoperative(t=13.4, P=0.00) and KSS improved from 69.5±8.7 preoperative to 90.2±7.4 postoperative (t=16.9, P=0.00) . Conclusions For the treatment of lateral compartment osteoarthritis, UKR has the advantages of rapid recovery of knee function, less complications and less trauma.The short-term efficacy is satisfactory, but the long-term efficacy remains to be observed.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of microRNA-10b(miR-10b)on idiopathic short stature(ISS).Methods A total of 54 children with ISS and 54 healthy children were collected.The serum expression of miR-10b was detected by RT-qPCR,and the relationship between serum miR-10b expression and clinical data of children with ISS was analyzed.miR-10b inhibitor,si-TGFBR1 and their negative control transfection C28/I2 cells were used.CCK-8 experimental detection was used to detect C28/I2 cell proliferation.Western blot assay was used to detect gnome related transcription factor 2(RUNX2),collagen type X alpha 1 chain(COL10A1),transforming growth factor beta receptor 1(TGFBR1),SMAD3 and pSMAD3 protein expression.The target of miR-10b was screened in StarBase database,and the targeting relationship between miR-10b and TGFBR1 was verified by dual luciferase reporter gene assay.Results The serum expression of miR-10b was higher in the ISS group than that of the healthy control group,and the higher the miR-10b expression,the more obvious the decrease of child height,IGF-1 and alkaline phosphatase(P＜0.05).Compared with the NC group,the cell proliferation ability and RUNX2,COL10A1,TGFBR1,and pSMAD3 protein expression were up-regulated in the miR-10b inhibitor group(P＜0.05).StarBase database suggested that miR-10b had a binding site of TGFBR1,and dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that TGFBR1 interacted with miR-10b(P＜0.05).Compared with the si-NC group,the expression of TGFBR1 was down-regulated and the cell proliferation ability was decreased in the si-TGFBR1 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion miR-10b inhibits chondrocyte proliferation and hypertrophy in idiopathic short stature by targeting TGFBR1/SMAD3 pathway.

Objective To compare the anatomical differences of tibia osteotomy between Han and Uygur populations and to analysis their compatibility with imported prosthesis component.Methods Two hundred patients (400 knees) were selected from the outpatients and healthy volunteers of the non-knee joint disease from September 1,2012 to December 1,2014,with 86 men (172 knees) and 114 women (228 knees).The average age is 44.64-10.8 years (range 21-68 years old).According to the populations,the subjects were divided into Han group and Uygur group.Furthermore,each group was divided into male subgroup and female subgroup.A full-length CT scan of the lower limb was conducted to reconstruct the knee joint in the workstation.The tibial osteotomy was simulated in total knee arthroplasty.The transverse diameter of the tibial cross section,the longitudinal depth of the medial platform and the depth of the lateral platform were measured.The front and back diameter and aspect ratio of the osteotomy were calculated.There parameters were compared between the Han and Uygur groups.Five mm tolerance range method was used to analysis the cover rate of the following three kinds of commercially imported prosthesis,namely Depuy,Link and Zimmer.Results The mean value of the tibial cross section were 72.3±4.3 mm,50.7±3.1 mm,47.8±3.0 mm,49.3±2.9 mm and 0.682±0.021 in Han group,while those were 74.5±4.8 mm,51.4±3.0 mm,48.6±2.8 mm,50.0±2.9 mm and 0.672±0.020 in Uygur group,respectively.Except the aspect ratio,the average value of each parameter in Uygur group was greater than that in the Han group with statistically significant differences between the two populations.The cover rate of the three kinds of prosthesis tibial component were 53.0％,37.0％ and 40.0％ for Han group,but 61.0％,43.0％ and 42.5％ for Uygur group.Depuy prosthesis was fit for the Uygur population better.Conclusion The geometry and anatomy of proximal tibia in Chinese showed significant difference between Han and Uygur populations.The mean covering rates of the imported tibial components were low in the dimensions of the resected surface.We can improve the prosthesis and the matching degree by adjusting the parameters or increasing the model set.
