OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the preoperative utilization of antibacterial in orthopaedic patients in our hospital. METHODS: The preoperative use of antibacterial in 300 orthopaedic patients in our hospital in 2008 was reviewed. RESULTS: Of the 300 patients in our study, 100% of them were recieved preoperative antibacterial. Two of the most widely used antibacterials were clindamycin and cefuroxime sodium. The use of antibacterial in 228 patients were overtime after operation (76.00%), of which the use of antibacterial in 161 patients in type Ⅰ incision exceed 24 hour(70.61%), 56 patients in type Ⅱ incision exceed 2 days(24.56%) and 11 patients in type Ⅲ incision exceed 7 days (4.82%). CONCLUSION: The usage of preoperative antibacterial was inappropriate and the duration of administration is too long, which should be standardized.

Objective To compare the bone microstructure and osteoblast and osteoclast activity in different regions of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.Methods The osteonecrosis femoral heads were collected from 10 patients (Ficat Ⅳ) who had undergone total hip arthroplasty from March 2011 to May 2013.There were 6 males and 4 females.Their average age was 47.7 years old (range,40-57 years).The samples were divided into subchondral bone region,necrotic region,sclerosis region and healthy region according to radiographic results,then the bone microstructure,micro mechanism and osteoblasts/osteoclasts activity were analyzed byMicro-CT,RT-PCR,Nanoindentation,immunohistochemistry and Trap staining.Results According to the micro-CT results,the continuity of trabecular bone in necrotic region was damaged.The number of trabecular was increased and the gap was narrowed in sclerosis region.The shape and number of trabecular bone were normal in the healthy region.The elasticity moduli in different regions were:subchondral bone region 13.808±4.22 GPa,necrotic region 13.999±3.816 GPa,sclerosis region 17.266±3.533 GPa and healthy region 11.927±1.743 GPa.The hardness were subchondral bone region 0.425±0.173 GPa,necrotic region 0.331±0.173 GPa,sclerosis region 0.661±0.208 GPa,and healthy region 0.423±0.088 GPa.The trap staining of subchondral bone in healthy region and necrotic region were positive while other regions were negative.Immunohistochemistry staining showed that compared with necrotic region,the RANK and RANKL staining level increased significantly in subchondral bone and necrotic region,while Runx2 and BMP2 staining level increased significantly in sclerosis region.Conclusion The mechanical properties of trabecular have no significant difference between necrotic region and healthy region in the progress of the osteonecrosis,while the bone structure has obvious changes.An active bone resorption is observed in subchondral bone and necrotic region,while a higher bone formation activity is found in sclerosis region.

Objective To explore the depression status of the liver transplant recipients after the surgery and the impact factors.Method Forty two liver transplant recipients were assessed at 5 different time points(1 month,6 months,12 months, 24 months,36 months after the transplantation)using general information questionnaire(GIQ),social support rating scale(SSRS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS).Results After the transplantation,the longer recipients lived,the less depression they underwent.Age and post-operative objective support are the two major factors on depression status of the liver transplant recipients Conclusion The clinical and community nurses may pay attention to the mind state of the recipients after liver transplantation,and provide mental nursing in time and social support to prevent and improve the state of their depression.

Objective To study the clinical value of tamsulosin in prevention of urinary retention after radical hysterectomy.Methods Sixty-six patients after radical hysterectomy were enrolled in this study, and divided into two groups in random.Thirty-three cases in the treatment group were treated with tamsulosin 0.2 mg once every night,3 days before the catheter was drawn.While 33 cases in the control group only with placebo.Catheter keeping days, residual urine volume at first extraction,the rate of urinary retention and urinary tract infection,hospitalization time and drug adverse reaction were compared in two groups.Results Catheter keeping days and hospitalization time were shorter in the treatment group than those in the control group(P< 0.05).The residual urine volume at first extraction was(38.2 ± 5.6) ml in the treatment group and (168.5 ± 11.8) ml in the control group,there was significant difference between two groups (P< 0.05).The rate of urinary retention was 18.2%(6/33) in the treatment group and 36.4%(12/33) in the control group,there was significant difference between two groups (P <0.05).There was no adverse reaction resulted from tamsulosin in the treatment group.Conclusion Tamsulosin is an effective drug which could prevent and treat the urinary retention after radical hysterectomy.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchyme stem cells are important non-hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, which can stimulate angiogenesis. While, Slit can also stimulate angiogenesis, as many studies have proved. OBJECTIVE:To review the biological functions, clinical application and effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and Slit2 on promoting angiogenesis. METHODS:A computer-based online research of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed to col ect articles published between 1980 and 2014 with the keywords“MSCs”and“Slit2”in Chinese and English. There were 436 articles after the initial survey. Final y, 65 articles were included according inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Both bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and Slit2 play an important role in promoting angiogenesis, but the relevance of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and Slit2 is stil controversial. If assuming that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells secrete Slit2, more researches should be done to reveal whether bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells promoting angiogenesis is relevant to Slit2 and through which signaling pathway Slit2/Robo functions to adjust bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells thus to promote angiogenesis. If relevant, the transplantation of the Slit2 and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells wil be a promising treatment of cerebral infarction and other central nervous injuries.

BACKGROUND:Cartilage tissue engineering has been widely used to achieve cartilage regeneration in vitro and repair cartilage defects. Tissue-engineered cartilage mainly consists of chondrocytes, cartilage scaffold and in vitro environment. OBJECTIVE:To mimic the environment of articular cartilage development in vivo, in order to increase the bionic features of tissue-engineered cartilage scaffold and effectiveness of cartilage repair. METHODS: Knee joint chondrocytes were isolated from New Zealand white rabbits, 2 months old, and expanded in vitro. The chondrocytes at passage 2 were seeded onto a scaffold of articular cartilage extracelular matrix in the concentration of 1×106/L to prepare cel-scaffold composites. Cel-scaffold composites were cultivated in an Instron bioreactor with mechanical compression (1 Hz, 3 hours per day, 10% compression) as experimental group for 7, 14, 24, 28 days or cultured staticaly for 1 day as control group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Morphological observations demonstrated that the thickness, elastic modulus and maximum load of the composite in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, which were positively related to time (P < 0.05). Histological staining showed the proliferation of chondrocytes, formation of cartilage lacuna and synthesis of proteoglycan in the experimental group through hematoxylin-eosin staining and safranin-O staining, which were increased gradualy with mechanical stimulation time. These results were consistent with the findings of proteoglycan kit. Real-time quantitative PCR revealed that mRNA expressions of colagen type I and colagen type II were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05). The experimental group showed the highest mRNA expression of colagen type I and colagen type II at 21 and 28 days of mechanical stimulation, respectively (P < 0.05). With the mechanical stimulation of bioreactor, the cel-scaffold composite can produce more extracelular matrix, such as colagen and proteoglycan, strengthen the mechanical properties to be more coincident with thein vivo environment of cartilage development, and increase the bionic features. With the progress of tissue engineering, the clinical bioregeneration of damaged cartilage wil be achieved.

Background: Multiple biomarkers have performed well in predicting type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk in Western populations. However, evidence is scarce among Asian populations. Methods: Plasma triglyceride-to-high density lipoprotein (TG-to-HDL) ratio, alanine transaminase (ALT), high-sensitivity Creactive protein (hs-CRP), ferritin, adiponectin, fetuin-A, and retinol-binding protein 4 were measured in 485 T2DM cases and 485 age-and-sex matched controls nested within the prospective Singapore Chinese Health Study cohort. Participants were free of T2DM at blood collection (1999 to 2004), and T2DM cases were identified at the subsequent follow-up interviews (2006 to 2010). A weighted biomarker score was created based on the strengths of associations between these biomarkers and T2DM risks. The predictive utility of the biomarker score was assessed by the area under receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC). Results: The biomarker score that comprised of four biomarkers (TG-to-HDL ratio, ALT, ferritin, and adiponectin) was positively associated with T2DM risk (P trend <0.001). Compared to the lowest quartile of the score, the odds ratio was 12.0 (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.43 to 26.6) for those in the highest quartile. Adding the biomarker score to a base model that included smoking, history of hypertension, body mass index, and levels of random glucose and insulin improved AUC significantly from 0.81 (95% CI, 0.78 to 0.83) to 0.83 (95% CI, 0.81 to 0.86; P=0.002). When substituting the random glucose levels with glycosylated hemoglobin in the base model, adding the biomarker score improved AUC from 0.85 (95% CI, 0.83 to 0.88) to 0.86 (95% CI, 0.84 to 0.89; P=0.032). Conclusion A composite score of blood biomarkers improved T2DM risk prediction among Chinese.

Objective:To explore the effect of nursing intervention based on the integration theory of health behavior change in pelvic floor muscle exercise of patients with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) after early cervical cancer surgery.Methods:A total of 134 patients with pelvic floor dysfunction after early cervical cancer surgery were selected and divided into test group ( n=67) and control group ( n=67) by random digits table method. The test group received three months of pelvic floor muscle exercise based on the theory of healthy behavior change. The control group received conventional pelvic floor rehabilitation care. The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-Short Form 20(PFDI-20), Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7(PFIQ-7), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were evaluated before the intervention (T0), After one month of intervention (T1) and at the end of the intervention (T2). Results:The results of repeated measurement analysis of variance showed significant group/time interaction between PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 scores ( Finteraction=29.196,13.213, both P<0.05); significant group/time interaction between GSES and SSRS scores ( Finteraction value was 25.664,70.240, both P<0.05). At the end of the intervention, the scores of PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 in the test group were 66.54±14.04 and 73.20±7.41, which were lower than 77.47±15.91 and 78.39±8.51 in the control group over the same period. The difference was statistically significant ( t value was -4.216, -3.765, both P<0.01); the GSES and SSRS scores of the test group were 2.86±0.30 and 50.37±2.45, which were higher than the control group (2.51±0.34 and 46.42±2.82), the differences between the groups were statistically significant ( t value was 6.447, 8.662, both P<0.01). Conclusion:The nursing intervention plan based on the integration theory of health behavior change can significantly improve the self-efficacy, social support level and quality of life of patients with PFD after early cervical cancer surgery, and enhance the short-term and long-term pelvic floor rehabilitation effect of patients.
