Aim To establish method and main evaluation indexes of collagen induced arthritis ( CIA) model in DBA/1 mice. Methods CIA was induced by chicken type Ⅱcollagen ( C Ⅱ) in DBA/1mice. Arthritis was evaluated by arthritis index. X-ray of the paws was taken. Histology pathology of ankles and spleen was observed and scored. Results Immunization d31,the paws of CIA mice appeared red and swelling,the scores of arthritis index increased,the period of swelling peak was from d40 to d60; immunization d35,the weight of CIA mice began to decrease. X-ray of paws showed that the paw joints of CIA mice deformed,and there was osteophyte formation associated with osteolysis. Histo-logical pathology of ankle joints showed that the synovium of CIA mice were hyperplasia,cartilage was destroyed,pannus was formed,and inflammatory cells infiltrated into synovium. Histological pathology of spleen showed more germinal centers and lymphoid follicular hyperplasia were observed,cell density of lymphatic sheath increased,scores of ankle joints and spleen histological pathology in CIA mice were higher than those in normal mice significantly. Conclusions The methods of CIA model induced by chicken C Ⅱ in DBA /1 mouse were reliable and reproducible. CIA incidence was high. Arthritis index,X-ray of paws,ankle joints and spleen histological pathology and so on were the principal indexes of evaluation for CIA model.

AIM: The mechanism of extracting flavoinoids from Ginkgo biloba leaves by microwave prtreatment was studied systematically. METHODS: The dired leaves were used as the crude drug, the effect of the operation parameters during the extraction on the extraction result was analyzed with monofactor experiment, and spectrophotometer was used to observe the structure of the cells. RESULTS: After the microwave pretreatment, the structure of the leaves cell was destroyed and the effective composite was desorbed completely. The following extraction rate was 4 times higher that of traditional extraction, the yield and the purity were better than the ethanol extraction. CONCLUSION: The short extraction time, higher yield of effective composite, higher usage rate of the microwave, the method is worthy to be used. W

Objective To explore the association between impulsively aggressive behavior and rs6922753 single nucleotide polymorphism of glutamate receptor 6 (GluR6) gene in Xinjiang Uygur and Han patients with bipolar disorder.Methods The techniques of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing technique were conducted to detect rs6922753 single nucleotide polymorphism of GluR6 gene in 240 patients with bipolar disorder.The association between the polymorphisms and impulsively aggressive behavior was analyzed with SPSS 17.0 software.Results No statistical difference was observed between the impulsively aggressive behavior group and the no impulsively aggressive behavior group of Xinjiang Han and Uygur patients with bipolar disorder in the genotype and allele frequencies for the investigated rs6922753 polymorphisms (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions No association was found between the impulsively aggressive behavior and rs6922753 single nucleotide polymorphism of GluR6 gene in Xinjiang Uygur and Han patients with bipolar disorder.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of levodopa combined comprehensive therapy on the children with ametropic amblyopia.Methods:One hundred three patients (180 eyes) with ametropic amblyopia admitted into our hospital from April 2013 to March 2016 were randomly divided into the control group and the study group.Fifty-two patients (90 eyes) in the control group were treated with comprehensive therapy,and fifty-one patients (90 eyes) in study group were treated with levodopa combined comprehensive therapy.After six months of treatment,the treatment efficacy,pattern visual evoked potential (P-VEP),visual sensitivity,and visual function of patients were observed and compared between the two groups,and the adverse reaction were recorded and compared.Results:At six months after treatment,the effective rate of study group was 90.00％,which was significantly higher than that of control group (68.89％,P＜0.05).The wave amplitude ofP-VEP Pl00 of both groups showed a remarkable increase,which was much higher in the study group (P＜0.05);the incubation period in both groups were obviously decreased,while they were markedly lower in the study group (P＜0.05).The visual acuity under 100％,25％,10％ and 5％ of spatial frequency were conspicuously higher than those of control group (P＜0.05).And correction convergence range,and correction separation range in study group were much higher than those of control group,and corrected near stereo vision was markedly lower than that of control group (P＜0.05).Additionally,no significant difference was found in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion:Levodopa combined comprehensive therapy had a good ability of improving function of visual central neurons,visual acuity and binocular stereo vision functions.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effects of internal fixation with lag screws plus an anti-sliding plate for the treatment of Hoffa fractures of the lateral femoral condyle.

METHODSFrom May 2006 to May 2014, 17 patients with Hoffa fractures of the lateral femoral condyle were treated with lag screws plus an anti-sliding plate. There were 13 males and 4 females, ranging in age from 27 to 59 years, with a mean of 32.5 years. All the fractures were fresh and closed fractures. According to the Letenneur's classification, 8 cases were type I, 4 cases were type II, 5 cases were type III. All the patients had no injuries of the cruciate ligament and the another part of the knee. Operative incision and fracture healing time were observed, knee joint function was evaluated by Letenneur system and HSS standard.

RESULTSThe patients were followed up from 10 to 24 months with a mean of 14.6 months. All incisions achieved primary healing, and no internal fixation breakage, malunion, femoral candyle necrosis, deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity were found. Fracture healing time was from 4 to 9 months with an average of 4.7 months. According to Letenneur's functional assessment, 10 patients got an excellent results, 4 good, 3 fair. Total HSS score was 91.1 +/- 4.7 on average,15 cases obtained excellent results, 2 good.

CONCLUSIONInternal fixation with lag screws and an anti-sliding plate can result in excellent effects for Hoffa fractures of the lateral femoral condyle. The key to a successful surgery is an anatomic reduction and rigid fixation of the fracture.
