With the wide use of nanomaterials in biomedicine,materials,chemicals and other fields,their environmental exposure and cellular toxicity have come to the attention of researchers as a new research area in the field of nanotoxicology and nanomedicine. Researches on the toxic effects of nanomaterials have not only provided of a theoretical basis for safety evaluation of nanomaterials ,but also promoted the have applications of nanotechnology. Numerous studies have revealed cell death is closely associated with the toxicity of nanomaterials. In this paper,we elaborated on the roles of three key cell death modes in nanotoxicity,including autophagy,apoptosis,and necrosis. Furthermore,the pos?sible mechanisms involved in these three modes were explored. All this will provide reference for safety evaluation of nanomaterials.

BACKGROUND:The treatment method of tibial avulsion fractures of anterior cruciate ligament is varied;each has its advantages. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the methods and clinical effects of the treatment of avulsion fractures of tibial insertion of anterior cruciate ligament by the means of making two decussate lines and four strands of non-absorbable Arthrex sutures passing through two bone tunnels combined with pushlock free knotting anchor under arthroscopy. METHODS:From December 2014 to November 2015, 23 cases of avulsion fractures of tibial insertion of anterior cruciate ligament were treated in the Second Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University. Under the arthroscopy, avulsed fracture was fixed in tibial intercondylar eminence by the means of making two decussate lines of Arthrex sutures passing through. At the same time, pushlock free knotting anchor beside tibial tubercle provided a tightening of tension for Arthrex sutures, which could strengthen the fixation of avulsion fracture blocks. Knee joint Lysholm and Tegner scores were fol owed up. Knee stability was evaluated by anterior drawer test and Lachman test. Postoperative reset and healing were evaluated with X-ray films. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Al 23 patients were fol owed up for 6 months to 1 year. (2) Lysholm scale of the knee function was (47.31±6.16) preoperatively and (94.69±1.28) postoperatively (P<0.05). Tegner score was (3.14±1.58) preoperatively and (7.74±1.69) postoperatively (P<0.05). (3) Lachman test of al cases was negative. X-ray films demonstrated that fracture healing was good. There was no repeated swel ing or cross locking of the joint. The knee was not limited by flexion or extension. No infection or deep venous thrombosis of lower extremity occurred. (4) The method of Arthrex sutures passing through two bone tunnels combined with pushlock free knotting anchor under arthroscopy has the advantages of minimal y invasive, simple operation, reliable fixation, no metal implants and satisfactory result to treat the tibial intercondylar eminence fracture of anterior cruciate ligament.

BACKGROUND:Autologous hamstring Rigidfix and Intrafix has been frequently used to fix and reconstruct anterior cruciate ligament. However, it lacks of evaluation of middle and long period of clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively evaluate the medium term clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix. METHODS:The 39 cases of anterior cruciate ligament injury were subjected to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix under arthroscope. They were fol owed up for 2 years or more. The clinical outcomes were evaluated using Lyshlom score scale, IKDC2000 and Tegner score scale. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the fol ow-up, IKDC2000 score and Lyshlom score were significantly increased fol owing Rigidfix and Intrafix fixation than before treatment (P<0.01). Results indicate satisfactory clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix. However, long-term fol ow up is needed to verify the feasibility of extensive application.

Objective To investigate the effects of preemptive analgesia with parecoxib sodium on postoperative analgesia and delirium after nerve injury-free surgery for fracture of thoracic and lumbar vertebrae and to promote the postoperative rehabilitation of the patients. Method 80 patients meeting the criteria were selected. and randomly divided into observation group and control group.40 patients each group. The observation group used parecoxib sodium for preemptive analgesia. while the control group used sufentanil. and the analgesia effects and the incidences of delirium were observed. Results The differences in operative time and intra-operative blood loss between the patients of the two groups were statistically insignificant. In 2 h. 6 h. 12 h.24 h and 48 h after the surgery.the VAS score and the accumulative time of intravenous self-controlled analgesia pump being pressed of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group. and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The first time for the patients of the observation group to press the intravenous self-controlled analgesia pump is (3.84±0.62) h after the surgery, is significantly later than that of the control group (1.05±0.47)h.and the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of delirium in 7 days after the surgery in the patients of the observation group was 10.00%. and is significantly lower than that of the control group (25.00%) (P<0.05). Conclusion Using parecoxib sodium for preemptive analgesia before nerve injury-free surgery for fracture of thoracic and lumbar vertebrae can elevate the postoperative analgesia effects of the patients.decrease the incidence of postoperative delirium, and is highly safe and consequently worthy of clinical application.

BACKGROUND:Alogeneic tendon has been frequently used to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament. However, there is a lack of middle- and long-term clinical evaluation. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the middle- and long-term curative effect of alogeneic tendon reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament under arthroscopy. METHODS:Twenty-five patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury under alogeneic tendon transplantation were reviewed retrospectively. They were al folowed up for 3 years or more. The clinical outcomes were evaluated and compared using Lyshlom score scale, IKDC2000 and Tegner score scale. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the patients were folowed up. Lysholm scale scores on the knee function, Tegner scores and IKDC scores were significantly increased after transplantation (P < 0.05). No complications of infection and compartment syndrome occurred. Symptoms were relieved and the function of knee joint was improved. There was one case weakly positive for anterior drawer test. Both Lachman test and pivot shift test showed negative signs. Overal, the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament with alogeneic tendon has less trauma and complications, with good middle-term efficacy.

BACKGROUND:Autologous hamstring tendon reconstruction of the medial patel ofemoral ligament is now more popular surgical procedure.
OBJECTIVE:To study the clinical mid-term outcomes of isolated medial patel ofemoral ligament reconstruction for recurrent lateral patel ar dislocation.
METHODS:The clinical data of 24 patients (25 knees) undergoing medial patel ofemoral ligament reconstruction for recurrent patel ar dislocation from September 2006 to September 2009 were retrospectively studied. Clinical, functional, and CT outcomes were assessed at an average of 3.1 years after surgery (range, 2-5 years), using recurrent instability as the primary end point.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The success rate of medial patel ofemoral ligament reconstruction for preventing recurrent dislocations was 92%. Two patients (8%) experienced a recurrent lateral patel ar dislocation, and required a reoperation. At final fol ow-up, the mean IKDC, Tenger and Lycholm scores were significantly higher than those before operation (P<0.01). Reconstruction of the medial patel ofemoral ligament for recurrent patel ar instability is a minimal y invasive operation and has a number of benefits.

Objective To investigate the pathway of lymphatic drainage of proteins from cerebral parenchyma in subarachnoid hemorrhage rat models. Methods Healthy adult male Wistar rats were divided into Saline group, Evans blue-labeled albumin (EBA) group, and SAH + EBA group. SAH models were produced by double injection of autologous arterial blood into cisterna magna. Using a modified microinjection method, EBA was injected into left candate-putamen of the EBA group and EBA + SAH group rats. In Saline control group, saline was injected. After injection, at 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days and 5 days, the animals were sacrificed and the fluorescence signals of EBA were imagined and analyzed along the possible lymphatic drainage pathway, e.g. the brain tissue, the wall of common carotid artery, and cervical lymphatic nodes. Results One day after injection, in EBA group, the fluorescence of EBA initially appeared on the left of the brain, the wall of common carotid artery, left lateral cerebral ventricle, and the perivascular spaces of cerebral vessels. The fluorescence signals gradually expanded to the opposite side.Large amount of fluorescence granules accumulated in the outer layer of common carotid artery. Fluorescence was also found in cervical lymphatic nodes. Two days after injection in this group, the density of fluorescencein the brain became weaker while the density of fluorescence in rhinencephalon became stronger. The fluorescence of EBA was found in lymphatic nodes adjacent to abdominal aorta. In SAH + EBA group,reduced amount and velocity of the drainage of EBA from left caudate-putamen to rhinencephalon, cervical lymphatic nodes, and lymphatic nodes adjacent to abdominal aorta were observed. From 12 hours to 5 days after injection, fluorescence intensity of EBA in deep cervical lymphatic nodes in SAH + EBA group(8.9 ±2. 0, 11.9 ± 2. 5, 17.4 ± 3.7, 26.7 ± 4. 5 and 59.0 ± 8. 1 ) were lower than those in EBA group ( 14. 5 ±3.2, 27.5 ±7.4, 60.3 ±12.3, 138.0±12.0 and 108. 1 ±13.4, F=13. 17, 24.04, 66.81, 302.77 and 59.36, P ＜ 0. 01 ). From 2 to 5 days, fluorescence intensity of EBA in lymphatic nodes adjacent to abdominal aorta was also lower in SAH + EBA group( 11.0 ± 1.5, 12. 5 ±2. 8, 23.6 ±3. 2) than those in EBA group(26. 3 ±5.9, 47.5 ±9.6, 41.0 ±9.3; F =38. 17, 72.52, 19.01, P ＜0.01). Conclusion SAH can result in reduced drainage of macromolecular substances, e.g. protein, from the brain via lymphatic pathway.
