At present, the artificial materials for cranial repair include methylsilicone rubber, titanium net, bonwe cement and stainless steel sil net, etc. Titanium net, organic glass, methylsilicone rubber and bone cement are easy to operate, but they are not satisfactory as an ideal material of repairing cranial defects because they only contributes to partial functional alternation as a foreign implant. High cost and long periodicity of tissue engineered bone lead to limit its application in clinics as an ideal repair material of bone defects. With the advanced development of biomaterials study and the deeper manufacture of industrialized tissue engineered products, this technology will achieve a large-scale application of clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: Hydroxyapatite is a kind of ideal orthopedic material, but its Iow strength and brittleness need to improve. The research suggested that the improvement of the toughness and strength of bioceramics which composite hydroxyapatite (HAP) and zirconia (3% mol yttria-stabilized cubic zirconia) and fabricated ceramic scalpel possesses of the wound recover faster with smaller side. So it is significant that research on the incision concrescence of nano-sized hydroxyapatite-zirconia bioceramical scalpel.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of incision using nano-sized HAP-TZP bioceramics as scalpel.DESIGN: A single sample study.SETTING: Second Department of Orthopaedics, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and Harbin Institute of Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Animal Laboratory of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University (Provincial Laboratory) from March to May 2006. A total of 54 SD rats, of 4 months old, weighing 120-180 g, of both genders, were selected in this study. The experiment materials included nano-sized hydroxyapatite Quartz Clock Company), ammonia (Suihua Chemical Reagent Company), and anhydrous ethanol (Tianjin Chemical Reagent Company).METHODS: The nano-sized Hydroxyapatite/zirconia composite powder was synthesis by rubbing according to 40% hydroxyapatite + 60% zirconia powders (mass ratio) were mixed and milled. The knife-edge biomaterials, which fabricated by hot pressed sintering, was grinding and used in incision experiment after autoclaving. The back of the rats was shaved and removing a patch of skin under ether anesthesia made a length of 2 cm open excision wound and stitched up the tear by 1# string. The each 18 rats were sacrificed on 3, 7 and 14 days post-wounding and used for analyses respectively. A full-thickness specimen containing the wound was dissected out from each of the surgical sites. The hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was applied in the pathological observation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The tissue sections of back and the results of pathological observation. RESULTS: All 54 rats were involved in the results analysis without any loss. There was long gap with minimal cellular reaction in the scalpel wounds that has not healed on day 3. There was inflamed cells infiltration at the wounded margin edge. By week 1, the tiny detritus which some of them appear the repaired response of epidermis rend were still obviously found in the area of the scalpel wounds where the detritus was found to be significantly less, the wounds changed smooth and started to heal. The optical microscopy observed indicated that there was incomplete epithelialization and hyalinization of dermal collagen at the wounded area. There were obvious inflamed cells to infiltrate in the margin subcutaneous tissue of the wounds where the newborn loose collagenous fibers filled in scalpel wounds was the tissue repairing response phase. There was a great deal of the infiltrated white blood cells in the subcutaneous tissue. The tiny detritus of epidermis by the optical microscopy observed rend could not be found in the area of the scalpel wounds which were healed by week 2. The newborn capillary nets appeared in the newborn repaired collagen fibers tissue. The inflamed cells to be infiltrated were reduced. The compact and strong collagenous fibers filled in scalpel wounds were the normal wound repairing and tissue. The white blood cells infiltrated obvious reduction in the subcutaneous tissue. The normal blood cells in the newborn capillaries could be seen. CONCLUSION: The experiments prove that a HAP-ZTP bioceramic scalpel, which possesses excellent bioactive, is nontoxic, nonallergenic and noncarcinogenic for incisions.

The effect of anisodamine(654-2),aspirin(acetylsalicylic acid, ASA),prostacy-clin (PGI2)-like substance on whole blood platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphos-phate ( ADP ) , arachidonic acid ( AA ) and ag-gregoserpentin of Trimersurus mucrosqumatus venom (TMVA) is reported, We found that ADP,AA and TMVA caused a dose-related increase in whole blood platelet aggregation, and the impedance technique was a sensitive method to evaluate the response of platelet in physiological condition. 654-2 could promote whole bloodplatelet aggregation induced by ADP, while ASAor PGI2-like substance could obviously inhibit the whole blood platelet aggregation induced by ADF or AA, but they failed to prevent TMVA-induced aggregation, suggesting that TMVA might mediate third pathway of platelet aggregation similar to platelet activiting faetor(PAF). Furthermore, the platelet stimulated by ADP or AA was still activated by TMVA, the mechanism of which remains to be studied.

Objective To investigate the feasibility, indications, operating technique and the clinical value of laparoscopeic surgery for ectopic pregnancy with prior history of obstetric and gynecologic operations. Methods 82 ectopic pregnancy patients with prior history of the obstetric and gynecologic operation were subjected to laparoscopic surgery. Among them, 60 patients had undergone prior obstetric and gynecologic operation only once, 21 patients had undergone twice, and the remaining one had undergone obstetric and gynecologic operation three times. The laparoscopic operation was completed in different ways as follows: puncture and injection of drug under laparoscopy, salpingectomy, resection of pregnancy in oviduct, removal of embryo through incision of oviduct under laparoscope, suction removal of embryo from oviduct, and new technique for pregnant surgery at interstitial portion. Results Of these 82 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, 73 cases had adhesion in different degree, and the adhesion rate was 89.0% (73/82). In the 60 patients with history of one operation, pelvic peritoneal adhesion was found in 51 patients, the adhesion rate was 85.0%. All 22 patients with two prior operations had pelvic peritoneal adhesion, and the rate was 100.0%. The laparoscopic surgery was successful in 70 cases. The rate of success was 85.4%, while in 12 patients, the operation was changed into laparectomy due to dense adhesion, and the rate was 14.6%. Of these 12 patients, in 5 of them there was endometriosis, in 6 patients chronic pelvic inflammation was found, 9 patients had a surgical history for ectopic pregnancy, 2 patients with the history of caesarean section, and one patient had a history of complicated gynecologic operation. Complications included colonic injury in one patient with ectopic pregnancy, and the operation was changed to laparotomy. Injury to the ureter happened in one patient. The operation time for laparoscopic surgery was 30-180 min. Conclusions The laparoscopic operation is an effective procedure and it has become a routine procedure for ectopic pregnancy with prior history of obstetric and gynecologic operation. Because of chronic pelvic inflammation and endometriosis, it is difficult to perform laparoscopic surgery successfully, and laparotomy should be anticipated at all time.

Objective　In order to predict or exclude early ectopic pregnancy.Methods　Endomertrium of 49 early intrauterine and 52 ectopic pregnancy were observed by transvaginal ultrasonography. Trophoblastic artery flow were investigated surrounding the intrauterine embryo or within the endometrium.Results　An endometrial three-line pattern resembled late proliferative endometrium of the normal menstrual cycle were seen in 42 ectopic pregnancy(80.8%). An endometrial three-line pattern were not seen in 49 early intrauterine pregnancy. Thirty-nine early intrauterine pregnancy had trophoblastic artery flow surrounding the intrauterine embryo or within the endometrium. None of ectopic pregnancy had trophoblastic artery flow within the endometrium.Conclusion　Observation of endometrial three-line pattern and trophoblastic artery flow by transvaginal ultrasonography were useful for diagnosing eraly ectopic pregnancy.

4 ng/ml and/or with prostate nodule found on DRE or TRUS . Methods 197 patients suspected of prostate carcinoma underwent ultrasound guided sextant biopsy and 2～4 more cores in the nodule. Four patients whose initial biopsy was negative but subsequent PSA levels were continuously abnormal underwent repeated biopsies. Results Of the 107 cases with prostate nodules,in 34(31.8%) of them prostate cancer was detected,while in 90 cases without a prostate nodule, only 11(12.2%) were positive. Stratified analysis on PSA found that the higher the PSA, the higher the positive biopsy rate of prostate carcinoma. In the 4 cases with repeated biopsies, 1 prostate cancer was detected. Conclusions For patients with prostate nodule and/or PSA over 4 ng/ml,systematic biopsy should be taken, with 2 or more cores toward the nodule.In the patients with continuous high PSA levels,if the first biopsy is negative, rebiopsy should be taken.

Fraction F3-3-3 of glycosaminoglycan was isolated from the leftover bits of Bay scallop Argopecten irradiaus . Infrared spectra of F3-3-3 was similar to that of heparin. Agarose gel electrophoresis of this fraction was performed in the system of barbital buffer (0. 06 mol/L,pH 8. 6). It was found that F3-3-3 showed single band in the electrophoresis. Compared with the agarose gel electrophoresis of standard glycosaminoglycan, such as heparin, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin 6-sulfate, it indicated that the relative migration rate of the fraction was close to that of heparin.
