The vascular endothelial cells (VECs) are not only a mechanical barrier of blood cycle cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, but also largest and most important type of endocrine organs.Because of its mechanical barrier action It is highly susceptible to in vitro and in vivo a variety of physical and chemical factors in the injury; damaged VECsvascular endothelial cells, especially the disordered endocrine function, the inevitable imbalance to a variety of active substances secreted or related active substances, finally result in dysfunction of cardiovascular system.This article reviews many mechanisms underlying VECsvascular endothelial cell injury, investigates VECsvascular endothelial cell repair mechanisms, and study ways to protect and repair the injured VECsvascular endothelial cells, and improve the prognosis of vascular disease.

Objective To discuss the etiology,clinical findings,anatomical characters,diagnosis and treatment of the painful flexion deformity of the hallux after open reduction and internal fixation of the fibular fractures.Methods From October 1996 to March 2004,we treated 33 cases with flexion deformity of the hallux after fibular fracture,including 19 males,14 females,with a mean age of 33.2 years old(ranged from 22 to 49 years).24 cases were ankle fractures,according to Lauge-Hansen clssification,pronation-external rotation for 18 cases;supination-exteral rotation for 4 cases;pronation-eversion for 2 cases.9 cases were distal third tibial and fibular fractures.19 cases were simple hallux flexion deformity,8 cases were combined with the second and third toes deformity,6 cases were combined with not only the second and third toes but also the fourth and fifth toes deformity.The deformities were corrected by flexor hallucis longus tendolysis or lengthening alone or flexor digitorum longus lengthening in combination.Results 19 cases were simple hallux flexion deformity,the deformities were corrected simply by flexor hallucis longus tendolysis(7 cases)and lengthening(12 cases).14 cases were combined with the lesser toes deformity,the flexor hallucis longus tendon were lengthened alone in 6 cases,and both the flexor hallucis longus and the flexor digitorum longus were lengthened in 8 cases.During an average duration of follow-up of 6 months(2 to 10 months),there were no postoperative complications.All patients had full correction of all deformed toes and reported relief from pain,ease of shoe-fitting and subjective improvement of gait.There was no recurrence of the deformity.Conclusion Adhesions of the flexor hallucis longus tendon to the fibular fracture site should be considered when a flexion deformity of the hallux occurs after open reduction and internal fixation of the fibular fractures.Variations in the interconnections between flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus in the region of the knot of Henry also have special clinical significance.

Objective To determine bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical parameters of bone metabolism in premenopausal female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE), and investigate the correlation between them. Methods Lumbar and femoral BMD in 30 female patients with SLE was determined by dual energy X ray absorptiometry. In 30 female patients and 39 controls, the corrected serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine and albumin were measured by routine methods, and bone specific isoform of alkaline phophatase, propeptide of type 1 procollagen, deoxypyridinoline excretion, telopeptide of type 1 collagen, osteocalcin, parathyroid hormone, 25-OH vitamin D, testosterone, progesterone, estradiol, follicle stimulating hormone and luteinotropic hormone were measured by ELISA or RIA. Results According to the WHO criteria, 39% patients with SLE had normal BMD, 46% had osteopenia and 15% had osteoporosis at the lumbar spine; at the femoral neck 38.5% had normal BMD, 38.5% had osteopenia and 23% suffered form osteoporosis. All other bone resorption and formation markers measured were not significantly different except significantly higher corrected serum levels of albumin calcium (P=0.0001)and significantly lower osteocalcin level and phosphorus value(P=0.03,P=0.002) were found in the SLE patients. Of all sex hormones tested lower testosterone and higher follicle stimulating hormone concentration were seen in patients with SLE(P=0.001,P=0.42). Conclusion A high incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis was found in premenopausal patients with SLE, which seems to be attributable, at least in part , to decreased bone formation in SLE patients.

BACKGROUND:Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)can promote vascular endothelial regeneration,inhibit thrombosis,and attenuate neonatal intimal thickness and luminal stenosis degree.OBJECTIVE:The present study established atherosclerosis models in rabbits and observed the effects of local transfection of VEGF gene on restenosis after angioplasty.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A randomized controlled animal experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Microorganism,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology between November 2004 and December 2006.MATERIALS:Rabbits were daily raised with high-fat diet to create atherosclerosis models.Twenty successful rabbit models were randomly and evenly divided into a control group and a gene treatment group.METHODS:The DcNDA 3.0 recombinant human VEGF165(hVEGF 165)was trimsferred to the ventral aorta through the use of Foley's catheters.and the pcDNA3.0 was transfefred in the controls.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:At 1,2,and 4 weeks after surgery,luminal area of left renal artery opening was measured by MRI.At 2 and 4 weeks after surgery,the ratio for intimal to medial area was obtained through the use of HMIAS-2000 high definition color medical image analysis software.Simultaneously,vascular endothelial cell regeneration was observed by immunohistochemistry of factor Ⅷ related antigen.RESULTS:The pcDNA3.0/hVEGF 165 could be successfully transferred through the use of Foley's catheters.At 2 and 4 weeks after surgery,luminal area was larger in the gene treatment group than in the control group(P<0.01);simultaneously, the ratio of intimal to medial area was significantly smaller in the gene treatment group than in the control group(P<0.05).In the gene treatment group,expanded vascular endothelial cell regeneration was accomplished at 2 weeks after surgery,while in the control group,it took 4 weeks.CONCLUSION:pcDNA3.0/hVEGF 165 gene transduction can promote local vascular endotllelialization and apparently attenuate restenosis degree and intiaml thickening.

ObjectiveTo observer the effect of autograft of semitendinosus and interference screws for reconstruction of lateral ankle ligaments. MethodsA total of 12 cases of injured lateral ankle ligaments were selected, including 7 males and 5 females with an average age was 29.4 years, with a course of disease from 3 to 6 months. All lateral ligaments were reconstructed by autograft of semitendinosus & bio-interference screws. A 4.5 mm diameter tunnel was drilled on the lateral ankle, where the tendon of semitendinosus was permeated through, both ends of semitendinosus tendons were fixed with bio-interference screws on talus of at the end of anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneus of at the end of calcaneofibular ligament, maintaining ankle neutral and moderate valgus position. Following operation, the ankle was fixed in neutral position and slightly valgus position with plaster cast. The wound healing, the outcomes of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), and stress radiographic evaluation were assessed at the follow-up. ResultsAll 12 patients showed no infection and the wound healed well at the primary stage. At 3, 6, 12, 24 months after operation, all patients were followed-up. According to AOFAS and FAOS of preoperation and final follow-up postoperation, function of ankle in all patients was significantly improved (P＜0.01), the scores of Chrisman-Snook group were more lower than this approach. No patients complained of instability of the ankle, and stress radiograph confirmed this improvement. ConclusionReconstruction of lateral ligaments of the ankle with autograft of semilendinosus & biointerference screws is a practical and reliable treatment, which restores stability and function of the ankle.
