OBJECTIVE: Aseptic prosthetic loosening is a primary problem of total hip arthroplasty. For this reason, several prosthesis interfaces with different characteristics have been studied, such as ceramic-on-ceramic prosthesis. The purpose of this study wasto investigate the mid- and short-term curative effects of ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty in treatment of avascularnecrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) and to evaluate its clinical application value.METHODS: A total of 23 patients (28 hips) with ANFH who received ceramic-on-ceramic non-cement hip prosthesis replacementwere followed up. All hip prostheses were BiCONTACT~((R)) ceramic-on-ceramic hip prostheses. Functional evaluation was assessedaccording to the Harris hip score. Radiographic analysis was performed using the Gruen's zonal method for the stem and the zonal classification of Delee-Charnley for the cup implants.RESULTS: All patients were followed up for an average of 28 months. The mean Harris hip scores ranged from 39.45 points prior to surgery to 88.57 points after surgery, with a difference which was significant (P < 0.05). Radiographically, no obvious prosthesis loosening or subsidence was observed. CONCLUSION: The ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty can produce good short-term curative effects in treatment of ANFH.Radiographic findings do not show obvious prosthesis loosening.

BACKGROUND: Construction of lentivirus vector has the advantages of simplicity,it is regard as the most effective and successful method in transgene therapy. OBJECTIVE: To clone the metastasis suppressor gene KiSS-1 from human normal placenta tissue and construct its lentivirus vector. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: The open experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Fujian Normal University from September 2006 to December 2007. MATERIAL: The pNL-IRES2-EGFP vector was conservated by the Laboratory of Fujian Normal University. METHODS: Total RNA was extracted from human placenta tissue. The opening reading frame cDNA of KiSS-1 was isolated by using RT-PCR,and cloned into its lentiviral vector pNL-IRES2-EGFP to construct expression plasmid pNL-IRES2-EGFP-KiSS-1. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clone objective gene fragment of KiSS-1,restriction enzyme digestion and gene sequencing of the recombinant plasmid pNL-IRES2-EGFP-KiSS-1 were observed in the study. RESULTS: The nucleotide sequence isolated from the recombinant plasmid pNL-IRES2-EGFP-KiSS-1 was confirmed the same as expected by restriction enzyme digestion and gene sequencing. CONCLUSION: The recombinant plasmid pNL-IRES2-EGFP-KiSS-1 has been constructed successfully.

Objective To explore the clinical curative effect of locking plate in elderly patients with proximal humeral fractures. Methods Seventy elderly patients with proximal humeral fractures were selected, and all patients were treated with surgical treatment. Among them, application of locking plate was in 35 cases (locking plate group), and application of ordinary steel plate was in 35 cases (ordinary steel plate group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time and curative effect between 2 groups were compared. Results The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and fracture healing time in locking plate group were significantly lower than those in ordinary steel plate group: (61.3 ± 5.6) min vs. (78.3 ± 4.2) min, (190.5 ± 11.5) ml vs. (268.5 ± 21.2) ml and (12.6 ± 1.8) weeks vs. (16.5 ± 1.5) weeks, the excellent and good rate was significantly higher than that in ordinary steel plate group: 94.29% (33/35) vs. 74.98% (26/35), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions The curative effect of locking plate in elderly patients with proximal humeral fractures is accurate. Locking plate can be fixed firmly, and it is conducive to early recovery after surgery.

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, bee venom can treat rheumatic arthritis,rheumatoid arthritis(RA) and so on, but it has strong side effects. So it has been hoped for a long time that the effective angle component could be screened from bee venom, which can be used for the treatment of arthritis perfectly than bee venom.OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether bioactive peptide from bee venom could inhibit infection of arthritis by regulating immunological function so as to probe into a new treatment for RADESIGN: Completely randomized controlled experimental trial based on experimental animalsMETHODS: A municipal key laboratory of animal biology.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Chongqing Key Laboratory of animal biology from January 2001 to May 2002. Totally 80 rats of clean grade aged 2 to 3 months old with the body mass of 180 to 200 g were provided by Animal Experiment Center of Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. The experimental animal certification number was SYXK1 (army) 2002 -007. The animals were divided into 3 groups: normal control group( 10 cases), arthritis group( 10 cases), bioactive peptide group(30 cases).METHODS: Adjuvant-induced arthritis animal models were used and bioactive peptide were given to the animals by muscle injection to observe the knuckle volume and knuckle index changes.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The effect of bioactive peptide from bee venom on the change of knuckle volume and knuckle index in adjuvant-induced arthritis ratsRESULTS: Ten days after injection of 0. 15 mg for each rat, the volume of the paw was (4.72 ±0. 58) mL and the knuckle index was (4.47 ±0.46) mL,which there was significant difference compared with the control group (P＜ 0. 05).CONCLUSION: P-peptide possibly has certain inhibitory effect on the development of the adjuvant-induced arthritis in Wistar rat, and will possibly be a potential therapeutic drug.

Objectives To compare the hemodynamic effects and ventricular activation sequence associated with the respective pacing of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and right ventricular apex (RVA). Methods 79 patients with complete atrioventricular block (AVB) or sick sinus syndrome (SSS)to undergo permanent ventricular stimulation either at the right ventricular apex (RVA) (n = 38) or right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) (n =41) were selected. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),cardiac index (CI), mitral E/A ratio and QRS duration were recorded before implantation of pacemaker and 6 or 12 months after implantation. Results There were no significant differences in CI , LVEF, E/A between RVOT and RVA pacing(P ＞0. 05). Compared with normal sinus rhythm, the QRS duration was significantly lengthened when pacing at RVOT or RVA (P ＜0. 05). RVA pacing was significantly longer than RVOT in QRS duration (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions There was no significant difference with the hemodynamic effect between RVOT and RVA pacing in subject with normal heart function. Compared with RVA pacing, RVOT pacing remained relatively normal ventricular activation sequence.

Objective To evaluate the effect of therapeutic communication on perioperative anxiety of cancer patients by using the Meta-analysis.Methods The randomized controlled studies of therapeutic communication for perioperative anxiety of cancer patients were gathered from Pubmed,Embase,Cochrane Library,China Biology Medicine Disc (CBM),China Scientific Journal Database by VIP (CSJD),China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wangfang Data,while other relative researches were also searched by hand.According to inclusion and exclusion criteria articles were evaluated by two reviewers independently.The studies were assessed according to the Juni assessment.RevMan 5.2 was used for statistical analysis.Results Seven studies with 506 patients were included,of which therapeutic intervention group contained 256 patients,the control group included 250 patients.Meta-analysis showed that compared with the control group,therapeutic communication system could reduce perioperative anxiety of cancer patients [MD=-8.00,95％CI (-8.91--7.10),P ＜0.01],improve positive perioperative coping of patients [MD=5.50,95％CI(4.05-6.95),P ＜ 0.01],reduce negative perioperative coping of patients [MD=-7.62,95％CI (-9.13--6.11),P ＜ 0.01],increase the satisfaction degree of patients [MD=0.55,95％CI (0.33-0.77),P ＜0.01],the differenccs were statistically significant.Conclusions Therapeutic communication can contribute to relieve perioperative anxiety of cancer patients,optimize their coping styles and improve the satisfaction degree of patients with nursing work.
