Objective:To examine the relation between the alteration of condylar endochondral in response to mandibular protrusion and the action time length by establishing a model of mandibular protrusion on young adult rats.Methods:75 female Sprague-Dawley rats aged 9 weeks were divided into two experimental groups and one control group.In two experimental groups,bite jumping appliances created forward positioning of the condyle for twelve hours and whole day,respectively.The experimental rats,together with the control rats,were sacrificed on days 3,7,14,21 and 30,respectively.Tissue sections were cut in the sagittal plane through the mandibular condyle and were processed for in situ hybridization and immunostaining of type X collagen.Results:The peak of type X collagen protein expression in 24-hour experimental groups appeared on day 21 which was on the top of all experimental groups,while in 12-hour experimental groups it was found on day 30.The results of in situ hybridization were basically in agreement with the results of immunostaining.Conclusion:Both intermittent and continuous mandibular advancement can provoke endochondral ossification in young adult rat condylar,while 24-hour ones can produce more obvious and quicker effect.

The clinical data of a case of Weave syndrome admitted in the Department of Endocrinology, Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The patient was a 9 years and 2 months old girl, who was hospitalized because of " growing too fast for 9 years" . After birth, the child is found to grow fast and have mental retardation, slurred speech, a blurred vision, a long face, a protruding forehead, ocular hypertelorism, epicanthus, nasal bridge pit, finger pads on both hands and feet, uncoordinated gaits, and intoeingpigeon toes.A novel heterozygous c. 1720A>G (p.K574E) mutation was detected in the exon 15 of the EZH2 gene of the patient.This mutation has not been reported at home and overseas.Sanger sequencing revealed that the patient′s parents did not carry the mutation.The disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, and the parents and sibling of the patient have no corresponding symptoms, so it is inferred that the mutation is spontaneous.Based on the peculiarity of the face, clinical manifestations and the results of molecular genetics, the child was diagnosed as Weaver syndrome.

BACKGROUND:Bone transplantation is the only method for the repair of bone defects. However, traditional bone transplantation has some disadvantages. Bone tissue engineering, as a new treatment strategy, can achieve the desire therapeutic outcomes. OBJECTIVE:To fabricate a new tissue-engineered scaffold for improving bone repair effectively. METHODS:Hydroxyapatites (HA) with different Ca/P (1.50/1.67) ratios were synthesized by chemical precipitation method and microwave radiation method. Composite scaffolds of palygorskite (APC)/HA/polycaprolactone (PCL)/col agen (COL), APC/calcium deficiency HA (CDHA)/PCL/COL, and APC/PCL/COL (control group) were prepared by solution perfusion-solvent evaporation and ion leaching method. The material characterization, active ingredients, hydrophilic property, and mechanical properties were evaluated by scanning electron microscope, infrared spectrometer, surface contact measuring instrument and universal mechanics, respectively. The histocompatibility of the implant with the host was assessed through animal experiments. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:By precise control of pH range, HA with different Ca/P ratios could be synthesized. The mechanical properties, air permeability, hydrophilic property of the APC/HA/PCL/COL and APC/CDHA/PCL/COL composite materials were significantly increased compared with the APC/PCL/COL composite material (P<0.05), while the porosity, water absorption expansion rate were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Results from our animal experiments showed that no immune inflammatory reaction was observed suggesting that the composite materials hold good histocompatibility. To conclude, the APC/HA (1.50/1.67)/PCL/COL composite materials are promising bone substitutes in bone tissue repair.

Objective To study the effects of use of cyclamic acid on monitoring D-Dimer and predicting deep venous thrombosis on lower limbs during total hip arthroplasty.Methods Ninety-three cases patients who received total hip arthroplasty operations at Joint Surgery Department of the Central Hospital of Zhuzhou city and Zhuzhou Hospital Affiliated to Xiangya Medical College of Central South University from December 2015 to May 2016 were selected as subjects and randomly assigned into study group with 50 cases and control group with 43 cases.During the operations,cyclamic acid was used intravenously and locally as a routine in the study group while saline was utilized instead in the control group.The D-Dimer was dynamically monitored before operation and 1,3,5,7,9 d after the operation,and venous color ultrasonography of both lower limbs were taken 3,6,9 d after the operation to check the conformation of thrombosis.Results The total blood loss after treatment in the study group was (350.5 ± 65.2) ml,intraoperative blood loss of (129.3 ± 43.1) ml,postoperative drainage volume of (80.9± 12.6) ml,occult blood loss of (141.9± 20.6) ml,corresponding to the control group were (560.8±60.6) ml,(208.9± 57.8) ml,(150.8 ± 18.9) ml,(202.9±23.9) ml.The above indicators were lower in the study group than in the control group,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t =16.02,7.59,21.24,13.22,P<0.05).There were significant differences in terms of D2-dimer level of 1,3,5 d after the operation between the study group and the control group (P<0.05),but at 7,9 d after the operation,the difference between the two groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The study group and the control group at 9 d after operation with color Doppler ultrasound examination showed that there were 1 cases of patients with calf vein thrombosis both in two groups,there was no significant difference between the two groups(2.00% vs.2.32%,x2 =0.012,P> 0.05).Conclusion The proper use of cyclamic acid can reduce blood loss and will not increase the risk of thrombosis.Monitoring dynamically on D-Dimer and deep venous color ultrasonography on lower limbs is helpful for early detection of thrombosis after total hip arthroplasty.However,the use of cyclamic acid during total hip arthroplasty will affect the monitoring on D-Dimer and therefore needs to be taken seriously.
