BACKGROUND:The methods to treat intertrochanteric fracture are controversial. A large number of clinical studies concern the therapeutic effects of several popular methods to repair intertrochanteric fracture, but these results lack of independence, and may have bias that cannot be measured in the variable and observational studies. Thus, relevant studies have been limited. OBJECTIVE:To compare the repair effects of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation, dynamic hip screw and total hip arthroplasty on intertrochanteric fracture in aged patients by meta-analysis. METHODS: Four electronic databases were searched, including Cochrane library, PubMed, Web of Science and Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, to colect al randomized controled trials concerning the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation, dynamic hip screw and total hip arthroplasty. Using meta-analysis of evidence-based medicine, X-ray exposure time, postoperative complication rate, postoperative bed time, postoperative wound infection rate, Harris hip scores, mean operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stays and length of the incision were compared and evaluated. Standard and methodology quality of the trials were criticaly assessed and relative data were extracted. This study used the Review Manager 5.0 software provided by Cochrane colaboration network. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Twelve randomized controled trials with 1 454 patients were included. Significant differences in mean operation time, intraoperative blood loss, X-ray exposure time, postoperative complication rate, and postoperative bed time were detected between the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and dynamic hip screw groups (P < 0.05). Significant differences in length of hospital stays, postoperative complication rate, and postoperative bed time were observed between the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and total hip arthroplasty groups (P < 0.05). Significant differences in postoperative complication rate, postoperative bed time, and Harris hip scores were detectable between the dynamic hip screw and total hip arthroplasty groups (P < 0.05). These data confirm that proximal femoral nail anti-rotation was apparently better than dynamic hip screw and total hip arthroplasty in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stays, postoperative complication rate, and postoperative bed time. Dynamic hip screw was better than proximal femoral nail anti-rotation in X-ray exposure time. Total hip arthroplasty was better than dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation in length of hospital stays, postoperative complication rate and postoperative bed time.

BACKGROUND:Currently, the mechanism by which calcium phosphate ceramics induces osteogenesis is not fuly understood, and many scholars have tried to expound the mechanism from the perspective of the structural properties. OBJECTIVE:To review how the structural properties of calcium phosphate ceramics affect their osteoinductive activity. METHODS: The PubMed database and Google academic database (1997-01/2015-03) were searched to retrieve the related articles about the structural properties of calcium phosphate ceramics affecting their osteoinductive activity. After the articles with outdated reviews or repetitive contents were ruled out, 60 articles were suitable for further analysis and review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The structural properties of calcium phosphate ceramics are displayed by macrostructure, such as macropores, holes, pipes and space between particles, and microstructure, such as micropore, particle size, surface roughness, specific surface area. Each parameter of the structural properties affects the bioactivities of calcium phosphate ceramics in some way, which renders their abilities of inducing osteogenesis to arise from nothing or change from weakly to strongly. Apart from structure design, physical and chemical properties of calcium phosphate ceramics wil also affect its biological activityin vivo. Therefore, the physicochemical properties of calcium phosphate ceramics should be considered in the structure design in order to achieve an optimal osteoinductive activity.

Objective To discuss the prognosis of the metastatic prostatic carcinoma and analyze the relative factors. Methods From 2001 to 2002, 32 cases of matastatic prostatic carcinoma were admitted to our hospital, the ages ranging from 54 to 87, with the mean age of 71 years. All the diagnosis was proved by the six cores transrectal biopsy of the prostate. The serum PSA ranged from 63 to 2000 ng/ml. Two cases had the Gleason score of 2 - 6, 19 cases had the Gleason score of 7 and 11 cases had the Gleason score of 8 - 10. Preoperative routine examinations included serum testosterone, pelvic CT or MRI scan, CXR and bone scan. Twenty-seven cases were found to have osseous metastasis, among them 8 cases combined with lymph nodes metastasis, and 5 cases with lymph nodes metastasis only. All of them were treated with gonadectomy and the blockade of the androgen receptor (with Bicalutamide 50 mg/d or Flutamide 250 mg/d). It lasted 7 - 48 months with first endocrine therapy,and mid last time 23 months. After first line endocrine therapy failure, Diethylstilbestrol and Estramustine were used in the androgen-independent stage. Thirteen cases were not effective, and second therapy had effect to 19 cases and it lasted for 3 - 15 months. Results The follow-up periods ranged from 13 to 98 months, with the mean period of 33 months. Twenty-eight cases died, 4 cases survived. The median survial period was 37 months, 1-year survival rate was 100% (32/32), 3-year survival rate was 53%(17/32) , 5-year survival rate was 19%(6/23). As to the survival period, there were negative correlaions between survival and the level of PSA (r= -0. 262, P=0. 045) and the Gl-eason score (r=- 0. 624, P=0. 001). There were positive correlations between survival and the level of testosterone (r=0. 514, P=0. 008) and the age (r=0. 311, P = 0. 032). And there was no correlation between survival and the number of the positive cores of the biopsy (r=0. 211, F = 0. 158) and the clinical stage (r=0. 211, P = 0. 352). Conclusions As to the metastatic prostatic carcinoma, there are correlations between the survival and the levels of testosterone before treatment, age, the Gl-eason score and the level of PSA. There is no relationship between the survival period of the metastatic prostatic carcinoma and the number of the positive cores of the biopsy and the clinical stage.

BACKGROUND:Repairing tuberculosis bone defect has become a research focus with the development of anti-tuberculosis functional bone tissue engineering scaffold. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the preparation, drug release performance and osteogenic properties of the anti-tuberculosis functional bone tissue engineering scaffold. METHODS:PubMed, Chinese Journal Ful-text Database, Wanfang databases were searched by computer for articles addressing functional bone tissue engineering scaffold for repair of tuberculosis bone defect. The keywords were“bone tissue engineering scaffold;tuberculosis;bone defect”in English and Chinese. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The anti-tuberculosis functional bone tissue engineering scaffold has good drug delivery, biocompatibility, osteogenic properties and anti-tuberculosis properties. As a good choice to avert bone defect relapse, the scaffold enables a long and stable drug release into bone defects to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of anti-tuberculosis drugs topical y. Given the technical deficiencies, we can only combine two drugs with the anti-tuberculosis bone tissue engineering scaffold, although the combined use of three or four anti-tuberculosis drugs is preferred. Additional y, a complete course of anti-tuberculosis treatment often lasts for 6-12 months, which cannot be achieved by the existing anti-tuberculosis bone tissue engineering scaffold. Up to now, the effect of this scaffold has not yet been confirmed in animal models, although how to prepare this scaffold has been reported.

AIM: To explore the regulatory effects of cytokines such as EGF, bFGF on expression of neural-specific molecules in mononuclear cells (MNCs) cultured in H-DMEM medium. METHODS: The umbilical cord blood samples were collected from health puerperal natural delivery. The mononuclear cells were isolated by centrifugation over Lymphoprep and planted in T-75 flasks containing H-DMEM medium with or without addition of EGF, bFGF or EGF plus bFGF at a final concentration of 20 ?g/L, respectively. Phenotypic changes were monitored by inverse phase-contrast microscopy. Tau and MAP2 mRNA were determined by reverse-transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Tau and MAP2-positive cell were determined by immunocytochemistry. RESULTS: The expression of tau protein mRNA was negative in uncultured cells, but MAP2 mRNA was positive. In cultured cells, tau protein mRNA expressed positively, MAP2 mRNA expression was upregulated by EGF+bFGF, EGF or bFGF compared with control group (no cytokines). The upregulatory capability of EGF+bFGF to MAP2 mRNA expression was stronger than that of EGF or bFGF alone. The same upregulatory tendency was noted in tau mRNA expression. In the group of control, bFGF, EGF, EGF+bFGF, the rate of MAP2-positive cells was 14.4%, 19.6%, 25.6%, 33.5%, respectively. Tau protein-positive cells were 13.5%, 15.3%, 21.4%, 29.8%, respectively. Under inverse microscopy, the freshly isolated MNCs were small and round, after culturing, the cells became larger with some big, long cytodenrites in the EGF+bFGF group, with 1 or 2 threadlike cytodenrites in the EGF group, or with some short multi-dendron like-astrocyte in the bFGF group and control group, but the number of astrocyte-like cells in the control group was less than that in bFGF group. CONCLUSION: MNCs derived from human umbilical cord blood cells express some neural specific molecules and are upregulated by cytokines, especially EGF and bFGF, which have the synergetic action. [

Objective To investigate the immunization effect of influenza A/H1N1 vaccine in health care workers (HCW) in Inner Mongolia Greater Khingan Mountains area. Methods Five hundred and five HCW who received A/H1N1 influenza vaccination (immunized group) and 129 staffs who didn't receive the vaccination (unimmunized group) were randomly sampled for semiquantitative testing of serum H1N1 antibody (IgG) levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results were analyzed and stratified by age, sex, occupation and the time interval between the time of vaccination and serum sample collection. The antibody positive rates of the two groups were compared by x2test. Results There were 401 (79. 4%) HCW whose H1N1 antibody were positive and 50 (9.9%) whose antibody were weak positive among 505 immunized HCW. While among 129 unimmunized HCW, there were 59 (45.7%) whose antibody were positive and 15 (11.6%) whose antibody were weak positive. The seroconversion rates of specific antibody were not significantly different among the different age groups after receiving A/H1N1 influenza vaccine (P> 0.05).However, there were statistical differences of the seroconversion rates among different sex groups (men 95.7% vs women 87.4% in immunized group, x2=6.40, P<0.05; and men 73.3% vs women 52.5% in unimmunized group, x2 =4.07, P<0.05) and different occupation groups (doctor 86.0% vs nurse 94.5% in immunized group, x2 = 9. 16, P<0.01; and doctor 43. 8% vs nurse 75.0% in unimmunized group, x2=12.61, P<0.01 ). The seroconversion rate was 81.5% after 80 to 89 days of vaccination, which was significantly lower than those after 30 to 39, 50 to 59 days and 60 to 69 days of vaccination, which was 100.0%, 94.7% and 93.6%, respectively (x2 =3.96, P <0.05; x2=7.15, P <0. 01; x2 = 9. 98, P<0. 01). Conclusions A/H1N1 influenza vaccination can induce effective immune response in HCW in Greater Khingan Mountains area of Inner Mongolia. However,the level of specific antibody significantly reduces after 80 to 89 days of vaccination.
