OBJECTIVETo evaluate clinical outcomes of fixation for the treatment of radial head fracture with collapse of anterior articular surface.
METHODSFrom March 2006 to January 2013,17 patients with radial head fractures with collapse of anterior articular surface were analysed. According to the Mason classification, there were 12 cases with Mason type II fractures and 5 cases with Mason type III fractures. All the patients were treated with open reduction through posterolateral entrance of elbow joint and Herbert or titanium cannulated screw internal fixation.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 6 to 18 months, with a mean of 11.3 months. According to the Broberg and Morrey score system, 2 patients got an excellent result, 12 good and 3 fair. There were no complications such as infection of elbow joint, nerve injury, non-union, traumatic osteoarthritis, heterotopic ossification and elbow instability. However, the postoperative activity range of elbow in the injuried side was less than that in the normal side.
CONCLUSIONRadial head fracture with collapse of anterior articular surface is easily misdiagnosed, and it can be treated with open reduction and internal fixation through posterolateral entrance.

OBJECTIVETo examine the effects of sodium phenylbutyrate on the apoptosis of human tongue squamous cancer cell line and expression of p21 and survivin genes.
METHODSThe inhibition effects of sodium phenylbutyrate on Tca8113 and human tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TCSSA) cell lines were detected by methyl thiazoly terazolium (MTT) and the apoptosis of the cancer cells after being induced by sodium phenylbutyrate examined by flow cytometry (FCM). The expression of p21 and survivin genes were observed with Western blotting and RT-PCR.
RESULTSCompared with control group, the level of p21 mRNA and protein of Tca8113 cellline increased to 0.09 ± 0.08 and increased 0.72 ± 0.10, that of TCSSA cellline increased 1.34 ± 0.12 and 1.56 ± 0.09 (P < 0.05). Compared with control group, the level of surrive mRNA and protein of Tca8113 cellline decreased to 1.10 ± 0.05 and 1.14 ± 1.10, that of TCSSA cellline decreased to 0.12 ± 0.08 and 0.94 ± 0.09 (P < 0.05). Sodium phenylbutyrate inhibited the cell proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis and arrested the cells in G₁/G₀ phase. The amount of p21 mRNA and protein were increased, and the expression of survivin gene was decreased.
CONCLUSIONSSodium phenylbutyrate exhibited remarkable inhibitory effects on human tongue squamous cancer cell proliferation and induced cancer cell apoptosis. The mechanism may be due to up-regulation of p21 gene and down-regulation of survivin gene. The mRNA level of p21 gene and survivin gene showed a strong correlation.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of Withaferin A ( WFA) on the growth of orthotopic xenograft tumor of hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice and the mechanism of its antitumoral effect. Methods For in vivo model, anti-tumor efficacy of Withaferin A was evaluated in nude mice mod-els of human liver cancer orthotopic xenograft. The nude mice were randomly divided into model group, Sunitinib group,and Withaferin A groups [6, 3 mg/(kg·d)]. All mice were given intraperitoneal injec-tion for 14 days. Tumor volume and tumor weight were observed. Antiangiogenic effects were assessed in vi-vo by the tumor inhibition rate and microvessel density. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( QPCR) as-say was used to detect the mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) , basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) from tumor tissues. For in vitro experiments, the cell count kit 8 ( CCK8 ) assay was used to detect the effect of Withaferin A on HepG2 cells proliferation. QPCR assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) were used to detect the mRNA expression of VEGF. Results Compared to the model group, the high-dose Withaferin A group and the Sunitinib group had a significantly lower tumor weight (P<0. 05). The tumor inhibition rate was 42. 69% in the high-dose Withaferin A group, 20. 22% in the low-dose With-aferin A group, and 49. 43% in the Sunitinib group. The growth of HepG2 cells was significantly inhibited by different concentrations of Withaferin A,and the 50% concentration of inhibition ( IC50 ) of Withaferin A were (2. 64 ± 0. 18)μmol/L at 24 h. Withaferin A (6,3 μmol/L) could inhibit the protein and mRNA ex-pression of VEGF ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions Withaferin A significantly reduces the growth of orthotopic xenograft tumor of hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice via antiangiogenic effect. Downregulation of the protein and mRNA expression of VEGF by WFA may be one mechanism of its anti-liver cancer effect.
