BACKGROUND:Ribbed anatomic femoral stem meets the biomechanical features of the femur, and has achieved satisfactory clinical efficacy with good initial stability, rapid bone growth and low stress shielding.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the design features and clinical results of the cementless anatomic Ribbed femoral stem (Ribbed stem) in total hip arthroplasty.
METHODWe retrospectively analyzed 52 patients (52 hips) with hip joint disease who were treated with Ribbed stem in total hip arthroplasty between March 2010 and March 2012. There were 20 males and 32 females. The mean age was 59 years (range 22-78 years). The mean fol ow-up was 3.1 years (range 2-4 years). The preoperative and postoperative Harris hip scores, the rate of postoperative thigh pain, the incidence of intraoperative femoral fracture, wound healing, dislocation and revision were recorded. Radiographic evaluation was used to evaluate the rate of stem fil , subsidence of femoral stem, periprosthetic radiolucent line, bone ingrowth, stress shielding, and osteolysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The incidence of intraoperative femoral fracture was 6%. Al incisions were healed. There were no cases of hip dislocation and revision;the rate of thigh pain was 6%, no patient had thigh pain after 1 year postoperatively. The mean preoperative Harris hip score was 48 points, which improved to a mean of 96 points at the final fol ow-up. Postoperative X-ray showed that al patients had a satisfactory femoral fil in both planes and al of the femoral stems were wel-fixed at the final fol ow-up. The average fil ing rate was 91%, 88%and 86%by normotopia imaging, while 88%, 85%and 81%by lateral imaging, at the metaphysic, middle and distal ends respectively. At the final fol ow-up, 49 hips (92%) showed stable bone ingrowth, 3 hips showed stable fiber ingrowth. No osteolysis around the components at the femur or acetabulum was observed. 5 (10%) hips appeared the subsidence of femoral stems, which were<2 mm. The stress shielding phenomenon occurred in al patients, including first-degree in 31 hips, second-degree in 19 hips, third-degree in 2 hips, and fourth-degree in no case. Experimental findings indicate that, Ribbed stem with a rational design can achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes with good initial stability, rapid bone growth and low stress shielding.

Objective To establish a new effective method by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing for rapid identifying apolipoprotein E alleles.Methods To determine alleles of human apolipoprotein E genetic polymorphism at Cys112Arg locus was detected by PCR melting curve analysis with fluorophore SYBR Green I. In order to increase the speciality of SNP assays, high fidelity Taq polymerase was used. The reliability of SNP typing was validated by comparison with the results of direct DNA sequencing.Results Each sample was determined by double tubes, and two melting curves were analysis. As compared the Tm value of samples with the Tm of standard substance, the apoE genotype of samples was determined. The apoE genotype of 30 samples were E3/3 (27/30) and E3/4 (3/30) respectively, which was accordant with the results of PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing.Conclusion The presented allelic assay was specific, easy to operate and applicable for discrimination of apolipoprotein E genotyping of human blood.

BACKGROUND: To search for an alloxenogeneic bone with good load bearing function and osteoblastic activity for treating bone defects is an important study issue. We have made a comparative study on its biome chanical characteristics and found that there was no significant difference in maximum load stress, maximum pressure as compared with fresh bone of the same size. Clinicians are concerned about the osteoblastic activity and whether the osteoblastic activity can be reserved after human allogenous a cellular bone (HAB) loaded with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the experimental effect of HAB loaded with induced BMSCs, and observe the cellular adherence and growth as well as detect its osteoblastic activity. DESIGN: Single sample experiment. SETTING: Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. MATERIALS: This experiment was conducted at the Experimental Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between January 2003 and August 2004. HAB was obtained from fresh corpse iliac bones (donated voluntarily). METHODS: Connective tissues and cell compounds of the iliac bones were removed by processing with hydroperoxide andether solution and sterilized for preparing HAB. BMSCs from living femoral shaft bone marrow were cultured immediately in ordinary and mineralized medium containing DMEM, fetal bovine serum, dexomethasone, β-glycerophophate and ascor bic acid. Proliferation and differentiation of bone stromal cells were deter mined by detecting the level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN) in the culture medium. Induced bone stromal cells solution was condensed and implanted within HAB scaffold. Cellular osteoblastic activ ity was determined through morphological observation under the light mi croscope and electron microscope as well as biochemical index detection. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Detection results of ALP and OCN of BMSCs/HAB composite. ② Histological observation results of BMSCs/ HAB composite. RESULTS: ① Iliac bone block cells were cleaned with good reservation of bone matrix. ② The level of ALP and OCN of MSCs was higher after in ducing for 8 days than that in control group [MSCs after induction: (181.54±40.01) nkat/L, (7.2±1.3) μg/L. There was no method to detect the level in control group, P ＜ 0.05]. ③ BMSCs were adhered and grew well in HAB scaffold. CONCLUSION: HAB loaded with induced BMSCs has an excellent os teogenic function in vitro and shows an effective potential as a good bone tissue engineering material.

Objective To investigate the expression of angiotensinⅡ (Ang Ⅱ ) and its type 1 receptor (AT1) in circulation, placenta and kidney of the rots preeclampsia. Methods Preedampsia rat model was developed by inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME). The systolic blood pressure (SBP), 24 h urine protein, hepatic and renal function were compared among the precelampsia group, the normal pregnant group and nonpregnant control group. The kidney tissue was observed by light microscopy. ELISA and radioimmunoassay were used to detect Ang Ⅱ in rat plasma and kidney homogenate respectively. Placental AT1 was measured by Westem blot. The level of kidney AT1 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results In preeclampsia rats, SBP and 24 h urine protein were significantly higher compared with control groups. Compared to normal pregnant group, plasma Ang Ⅱ of preeclampsia rats was much higher [(0.706±0.086) ng/L vs (0.540±0.085) ng/L, P＜0.05]; placental AT1 was increased by 46%(P＜ 0.05); kidney Ang Ⅱ was decreased signigicantly [(65.543±40.634) ng/g vs (165.543±33.078) ng/g, P＜0.05]. The expression of ATI in kidney of preeclampsia rats was reduced evidently,which was only 33% of normal pregnancy group and 59% of nonpregnant control greup,respeetively (P＜0.05). Conclusions In preeclampsia rat model, the circulating Ang Ⅱ is increased, the placental RAS isactivated, while the kidney BAS is suppressed. The underlying mechanism of proteinuria and kidney damage associated with this phenomenon in preeclampsia needs further research.

Objective To study the action and mechanism of staphylococcal exfoliative toxin A(E-TA)on pemphigus foliaceus antigen(PFA)and pemphigus vulgaris antigen(PVA)expressed on cultured human keratinocytes.Methods Stratified human keratinocytes were incubated with ETA and then stained with sera from patients with pemphigus foliaceus or pemphigus vulgaris as the first antibodies and FITC-la-beled sheep anti-human IgG as the second antibody.Total protein was harvested from the cells pretreated with ETA and run on SDS-PAGE for Western blot with the same antibodies.Simultaneously,supernatants of the keratinocytes before and after ETA treatment were collected for detection of the levels of IL-1?,IL-6with ELISA kits.The caseinolytic activities of the supernatants were tested by spectrometry in which casein was used as a non-specific substrate.Results Down-expression of PFA was shown after ETA treatment while no change of PVA expression was found.The high intensity and continuous linear appearance of fluo-rescent staining before ETA treatment became weak and discontinuous after ETA treatment,which were re-covered gradually in24hours.The degradation of proteins recognized by PF sera after ETV treatment was revealed by Western blot.The decreasing tendency of IL-1?concentration was found in the supernatants of cell culture after ETA treatment,but IL-6level was too low to be detected.Increased caseinolytic activities were found in the supernatants,and declined36hours after ETA treatment.Conclusions ETA acts on PFA expressed on keratinocytes in vitro,which is reversible along with withdrawal of ETA.The mechanism of E-TA act on PFA may be related to proteolytic action instead of promoting cytokine secretion.
