BACKGROUND:LARS artificial ligament was designed by Laboureau from France using polyethylene terephthalates with the anatomic structure of human ligament and mechanical principle of weight.This ligament is not only accorded with physiological structure of normal anterior cruciate ligament,but also significantly elevates anti-torque,can resist repetitive twist,bend and excessive traction.OBJECTIVE:To summarize characteristics of clinical application of LARS artificial ligament in transplant reconstruction following acute anterior cruciate ligament of knee joint injury.METHODS:A total of 23 patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament injury,comprising 17 males and 6 females,aged 21-54 years,were selected.Time-from injury to surgery was 3 days to 3 weeks.Polyethylene terephthalatas LARS artificial ligament made in France was used to reconstruct damaged ligament.The transplant was evaluated before and after implantation according to Lysholm knee joint criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Following 11.2 months (10-14 months) of follow-up,unstable symptoms of affected knees of all 23 cases disappeared.Anterior and posterior drawer tests were negative,with good joint function.Average extension and flexion degree was 0°-120°.In accordance with Lysholm knee joint score,significant difference was found from (40.34±4.00) points preoperatively to (90.21±4.00) points postoperatively (P<0.01).They could do common athletic activities at about 2 months following surgery.In some cases,magnetic resonance examination demonstrated that residue ligament gradually grew into artificial ligament,which gradually became thicker.Above-mentioned results have verified that under an arthroscope,reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament using polyethylene terephthalates LARS artificial ligament showed simple operation and small wound,which may lead to immediate stability,early rehabilitation exercises.Simultaneously,interlacing of residue ligament and artificial ligament keeps the nerve conduction pathway of propdoceptive sense,which prevents joint function limitation greatly.Moreover,short-term outcomes are satisfactory.

Post-stroke aphasia refers to acquired language disorder caused by cerebrovascular disease.As part of cognitive function,language is closely related with other non-linguistic cognitive function.In recent years,many scholars have begun to pay attention to the relationship between language disorder and non-verbal cognitive function in patients with post-stroke aphasia.This paper describes the epidemiology of cognitive impairment in patients with post-stroke aphasia,and summarizes the relationship between language obstruction and the non-language-based cognitive function in patients with aphasia after stroke (such as working memory,attention,execution,etc.) to provide a direction for further research.

Objective To investigate protective effects and mechanisms of lipoxinA4(LXA4)on human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)under hypoxia in vitro.Methods The HUVEC culture were divided into groups as followed:added M199 cudture medium as normal contml groups,added CoCl2 to mimic hypoxia in vitro as hypoxia group and added different concentrations of LXA4(1,10,100 nmol/L)were added to the induced hypoxiai HUVEC as agents intervention group.Morphological changes of HUVEC were observed by using inverted phase contrast mieroscope.The influence of LXA4 on cell survival was investigated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assaying method after the treatment with different concentrations of LXA4 and 100 nmol/L lipoxinA4 according to different time(4,8,12 and 24 hours).The expression of von-willebrand factor (vWF) was detected by immunocytoehemistry method. The changes of cytosolic Ca2+ were measured by laser scanning confocal microscope. Results ( 1 ) Morphological changes:the cells under hypoxia lost its normal shapes and showed necrosis, while the cells cocuhured with 100 nmol/L LXA4 were normal appropriately. (2)Survival rate: the survival rates of HUVEC under hypoxia was (40. 1±3.9) % and increased to ( 52. 9 ± 1.4) %, (64. 1 ± 3. 3 ) %, ( 76. 6 ± 1.6) % respectively when added with LXA4 with concentration of 1,10, 100 nmol/L into culture medium. There was significant different survival rate when compared with that of hypoxia group. (3) The level of vWF: The expression of vWF was decreased with the increasing concentrations of LXA4 added into culture medium, the gray values were 203.9 ±0. 7 in 1 nmol/L,204.6 ±0. 9 in 10 nmoL/L,191.8 ±0. 5 in 100 nmol/L respectively, which reached statistical difference in comparison with that of hypoxia groups (P<0. 05). (4) Confocai analysis:the intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations of HUVEC were intensified with LXA4 treatment. Conclusions LXA4 plays an important role in keeping the normal shape of HUVEC under hypoxia, can enhance survival of hypoxial HUVEC and decrease the level of vWF in cytoplasm. The protective mechanism might be via decreasing mitochondria Ca2+ overload and increasing cytoplasm Ca3+ by nucleus Ca2+ transference.

Objective To study the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance caused by interleukin-6 (IL-6) in ovarian cancer cells and its related signal pathways. Methods Ovarian cancer cell lines A2780(IL-6 receptor positive, while non-IL-6-expressing and cisplatin/paclitaxel-responsive) and SKOV3 cell lines( overexpressing of IL-6 receptor and IL-6 and cisplatin/paclitaxel-resistant) were suitable models for this study. The effect of exogenous (a short period of treatment with recombination IL-6) and endogenous IL-6(by transfecting with plasmid encoding for sense IL-6 ) in A2780 cells or deleting of endogenous IL-6expression in SKOV3 cells (by transfecting with plasmid encoding for antisense IL-6) on the sensitivity to cisplatin and paclitaxel was investigated. Meanwhile, the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance caused by IL-6 in ovarian cancer cells and its related signal pathways were also analyzed. Results We found that both exogenous and endogenous IL-6 induce cisplatin and paclitaxel resistance in non-IL-6-expressing A2780 cells (the resistance multiple to cisplatin and paclitaxel was: exogenous, 6. 25 and 7.31; endogenous, 7. 13 -8. 34 and 7. 61 - 10. 70), while deleting of endogenous IL-6 expression in IL-6-overexpressing SKOV3 cells promotes its sensitivity to anticancer drugs ( the resistance multiple to cisplatin and paclitaxel was 0. 15 and 0. 10, 0. 10 and 0. 08). IL-6 significantly up-regulated the expression levels of mRNA and protein of drug resistance-associated genes, MDR1 and GST-π, and apoptosis-inhibiting genes, bcl-2, bcl-xL and XIAP in a dose-dependent manner in A2780 cells. In accordance with this finding, the mRNA and protein levels of MDR1 and GST-π enhanced in sense IL-6-transfected A2780 cells, and reduced in antisense IL-6-transfected SKOV3 cells compared with the corresponding parental and control vector-transfected cells, which had no difference. It was found that PD98059 [ mitogen-activated protein kinase-extracellular signalregulated kinase (MEK) inhibitor ] and wortmannin [ phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor ]significantly antagonized IL-6-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK ) and protein kinase B (Akt), respectively, and both of them blocked IL-6-induced cisplatin and paclitaxel resistance and the inhibitory effects of PD98059 and wortmannin were dependent on its concentration.Conclusions These data suggest that IL-6-induced chemoresistance may be associated with increase of both drug resistance-associated genes ( MDR1 and GST-π) and apoptosis-inhibiting genes ( bcl-2, bcl-xL and XIAP), and activation of MEK/ERK and PL3K/Akt. Therefore, modulation of IL-6 expression or its related signaling pathway may be a promising strategy of treatment for drug-resistant ovarian cancer.
