BACKGROUND:Foreign injectable sulphate calcium has good biocompatibility, injectability and in situimmobilization, moulding based on adaptation to the shape of bone defects, but the price is expensive. OBJECTIVE:To explore the optimal fabricating parameters of bone repair materials with α-calciumsulfate hemihydrates as the main component, and to study the performance and characterization METHODS:α-Calciumsulfate hemihydrates powder was mixed with sodium hyaluronate at liquid-solid-ratios of 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4 mL/g using vapor-heat method to prepare injectable bone materials. Performance, setting time and compressive strength of the injectable bone was detected. The best liquid-solid-ratio was 0.3 mL/g.α-Calcium sulfate hemihydrates powder was mixed with calcium sulfate dihydrate powder (1%, 2%, 3% mass fractionas) to fabricate injectable bone materials. Performance, setting time and compressive strength of the injectable bone was also detected; meanwhile, the biosafety of the injectable bone was determined. Theinjectable bone material that was made at the liquid-solid-ratio of 0.3 mL/g and by 2% calcium sulfate dihydrate was implanted into Ba-ma swine models of thoracic bone defects. At the time points of 8, 16 and 24 weeks after implantation, histological observation was done. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The injectable bone material was made at the liquid-solid-ratio of 0.3 mL/g and by 2% calcium sulfate dihydrate. The initial and final setting time was 4.0-5.0 minutes and 8.0-9.0 minutes, respectively. The compressive strength of the injectable bone reached (8.93±0.23) MPa. These findings indicate that the injectable boen material has good performance, initial setting time and compressive strength meeting the requirements of clinical application and good biosafety. Animal experiments show that the injectable bone can provide space for new bone in creeping substitution way by auto-degradation, with osteogenic activity.

Objective To investigate the result of arthroscopic surgery in the treatment of sinus tarsi syndrome. Methods The study involved 15 patients (6 males and 9 females) with sinus tarsi syndrome admitted to First Hospital of Nanjing from July 2006 to May 2008. The age of the patients ranged from 23 to 63 years ( average 46.3 years). All the patients had one side involvement, including 10 patients with left side involvement and five with right side involvement. All the operations were performed under the tourniquet control and the patients were placed at the lateral decubitus position. The lateral, anterolateral and posterolateral portals were applied intraoperatively and the medial portal was applied when necessary. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and American orthopedic foot and ankle scale (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale were used for follow-up evaluation. Results More than two lesions were found under arthroscope in all patients. The lesions included scar tissue hypertrophy and inflammation in the sinus tarsal canal, soft tissue impingement in the subtalar joint, synovitis, partial tears of subtalar capsule, interosseous talocalcaneal ligament or cervical ligament, cartilage injury and subtalar degeneration. All patients were followed up for 19-35 months (mean 26. 1 months). At the final follow-up, the VAS score was improved from preoperative 7.6 points ( range 6-9 points) to postoperative 2.5 points (range 1-4 points) (P＜0.01 ), and the AOFAS score improved from preoperative 41. 9 points (range 20-67 points) to postoperative 83. 1 points ( range 70-100 points) ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The excellence rate of the AOFAS score reached 73% at the final follow-up. Conclusion For patients with sinus tarsi syndrome after a failed conservative treatment, arthroscopic surgery should be performed as soon as possible and the clinical result is satisfactory.

Objective:To analyze the change of bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women,and to study the relationship between BMD and the estrogen,cytokines,and serum levels of bone metabolism.Methods: 135 postmenopausal women were divided into the OP group (n=54),Osteopenia group (n=43) and normal group (n=38) according to the results of lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) scan.To detected the concentration of serum estradiol (E2),bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and osteocalcin (BGP),tartrate resistant acid phosphatase-5b (TRAP-5b),interleukin-6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1) and IL-10 of research objects in the three groups.And to analyze the relationship between BMD and the levels of E2,BALP,BGP,TRAP-5b,IL-6,TNF-α,TGF-β1 and IL-10.Results: In the OP group and the Osteopenia group,BMD and the levels of E2,TGF-β1 and IL-10 were obviously lower than that in the normal group (P<0.05),and the levels of BALP,BGP,TRAP-5b,IL-6 and TNF-α were obviously higher than that in the normal group (P<0.05).When compared with the Osteopenia group,the BMD and E2 level in the OP group was more lower (P<0.05),and the levels of BALP,BGP,TRAP-5b,IL-6 and TNF-α were more higher (P<0.05).E2 and TGF-β1 showed the significant positive correction with BMD (P<0.05),and the BALP,BGP,TRAP-5b,IL-6 and TNF-α were all negatively corrected with BMD (P<0.05).However,no significant difference of relevance was seen between IL-10 and BMD (P>0.05).The low serum E2 levels and high serum levels of BALP,BGP,TRAP-5b,IL-6 and TNF-α were the independent factors affecting the reduction of BMD (P<0.05).Conclusion: The E2 level in patients with PMOP decreased obviously,which caused the imbalance of bone remodeling and inflammatory reaction,and which was related to the decrease of BMD.

Objective To assess community health service ability of general practitioners (GPs) with the Standardized General Practitioner Training(SGPT) in Shanghai.Methods One hundred and four GPs receiving SGPT and matched 102 GPs without SGPT were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study from September to November in 2014.Community health service ability,including abilities in basic medical service and public health service were assessed and compared between two groups.Written examination was applied in the public health services ability assessment.Objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) was applied for evaluation of basic medical service abilities.Results The scores of written examination in GPs with SGPT were higher than those without SGPT[(66 ±4) vs.(62 ±7),P ＜0.01].The OSCE scores in GP with SGPT were higher than those without SGPT [(494 ± 78) vs.(448 ± 80),P ＜ 0.01].GPs with SGPT also abtained the higher scores in consultation competence and clinical skills assessment [(245 ± 44) vs.(225 ±40),P＜0.01;(252 ±59) vs.(225 ±61),P ＜0.01].In OSCE,GPs with SGPT got higher score than those without SGPT in 5 stations (medical history collection,doctor-patient communication,basic operation,ECG interpretation,and CPR) (all P ＜ 0.01);however,no significant differences were observed in 3 stations (physical examination,case analysis and X-ray interpretation) between two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions GPs with SGPT have better basic medical service and public health service ability.But some aspects of basic medical service ability need to be strengthened in the training and practice.

Objective: To explore the relationship between left coronary plaque character with the bifurcation angle and diameter by 256-slice CT angiography (CTA). Methods: A total of 387 consecutive patients who received CTA in our hospital were retrospectively studied. There were 102 patients with normal image including 60 male and 42 female at the mean age of (52.10 ± 9.65) years and 285 patients with left coronary plaque including 166 male and 119 female at the mean age of (55.65 ± 10.40) years. All patients were divided into 4 groups according to the plaque condition, Normal group,n=102 patients without plaque, Non-calciifcation group,n=137, Calciifcation group,n=79 and Mixed group,n=69. The patients with non-calciifcation plaque included 73 of mild stenosis and 57 of moderate to severe stenosis in proximal LDA. Left coronary bifurcation angle, proximal diameter and area were measured by multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) and the maximum density projection (MIP) techniques to analyze the relationship between the above indexes and plaque position, character, degree of local stenosis. Results: Left coronary bifurcation angle, the proximal diameter, area in LDA and LCX in 3 plaque groups were all larger than those in Normal group,P<0.05. In Non-calciifcation group, the above indexes were similar between the patients with mild stenosis and moderate to severe stenosis,P>0.05, while in patients with moderate to severe stenosis, the bifurcation angle and diameter were larger in male than those in female patients,P<0.05. Conclusion: 256-slice CTA could objectively evaluate left coronary bifurcation angle, stenosis degree and plaque character, which are valuable for coronary artery disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.
