BACKGROUND:During artificial knee replacement for al kinds of severe knee disease or conservative treatment for end-stage knee disease, Deluxe-PS knee prosthesis and PFC Sigma RP knee prosthesis have their advantages.
OBJECTIVE: To compare and analyze the matching of the Deluxe-PS and PFC Sigma RP knee prostheses with bone cross section.
METHODS:According to the use of the knee prosthesis, 87 gonarthritis patients undergoing bilateral knee replacement were divided into two groups. 46 cases in the test group received Deluxe-PS knee prosthesis replacement. 41 cases in the control group received PFC Sigma RP knee prosthesis replacement. Operation time and intraoperative blood loss were compared between the two groups. American Knee Society score, knee score of American Special Surgical Hospital and knee joint range of motion were used to evaluate knee joint function before replacement, 3 months after replacement and during final folow-up. Anteroposterior X-ray films were obtained after replacement to measure valgus angle and flexion angle of femoral prosthesis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Operation time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly better in the test group than in the control group (P< 0.05). (2) No significant difference in American Knee Society score, knee score of American Special Surgical Hospital and knee joint motion was detected between the two groups before replacement and 3 months after replacement (P > 0.05). Above indexes were significantly improved in both groups at 3 months after replacement and during final follow-up (P < 0.05). (3) No significant difference in valgus angle and flexion angle of femoral prosthesis was identified between test and control groups during final follow-up (P > 0.05). (4) These findings indicate that effect of Deluxe-PS type artificial knee prosthesis was identical to that of PFC Sigma RP knee prosthesis in knee osteoarthritis patients receiving bilateral knee joint replacement. Deluxe-PS type artificial knee prosthesis can perfectly realize high-accuracy combination of the prosthesis and the bone cross section, and enhance the fusion suitability of the prosthesis and the bone surface. Deluxe-PS type artificial knee prosthesis has the advantage of operation. This advantage is possibly because Deluxe-PS type artificial knee prosthesis is more in line with the anatomical structure of the knee joint of Chinese.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of capecitabine or S-1 combined with oxaliplatin or cisplatin in the treat-ment of advanced gastric cancer. Methods:Six databases including Cochrane Library, Pubmed, Embase, CNKI, VIP and WanFang were retrieved. Randomized controlled trials ( RCT) in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer were involved for the quality assess-ment and Meta-analysis. Results:A total of 14 RCT involving 1 051 patients were included. There were no significant differences in the total effective rate, complete remission rate and partial remission rate between the two groups(P>0. 05). In the safety evaluation, the incidence of hand-foot syndrome was higher in capecitabine-based regimens than that in S-1-based regimens[RR=2. 59,95%CI (1. 61,4. 17),P<0. 000 1], while the incidence of stomatitis was lower in capecitabine-based regimens[RR=0. 64,95%CI(0. 50, 0. 82),P=0. 000 4]. The other adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, diarrhea,neuropathy,dysfunction of liver and kidney, anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia exhibited no significant differences between the two groups(P>0. 05). Con-clusion:Capecitabine combined with oxaliplatin or cisplatin has similar efficacy with S-1 combined with oxaliplatin or cisplatin in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer, and the incidence of hand-foot syndrome is higher in capecitabine-based regimens and the inci-dence of stomatitis is higher in S-1-based regimens.

Objective To identify the peptide that have strong ability binding to HCMV-UL149 encoded protein,and to analyze the characteristics of the amino acid sequence of UL149-binding peptides.Methods Expressed UL149 proteins of three genotypes were used to screen the binding peptide in the random peptide display library,then the encoding sequence of binding peptides in the selected clones were sequenced.The amino acid sequences of the binding peptides were analyzed for their homology,and were com pared with those of the known protein in protein banks.Results The homologous amino acid sequence W/A/F/V-D/E-D/E-G-W/F/I/L were found within the binding peptides selected by proteins of all the three UL149 genotypes proteins,and no difference between three groups was found.The alignment with amino acid sequences of the known proteins in protein banks showed that the binding peptides of UL149 putative protein have homologous amino acid sequences with immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region(IgHV),the serine/threonine protein kinases,compliment factor H,zinc finger protein,MHC Ⅰ molecule,eukaryotic translation initiation factor,nuclear factor and so on.Conclusion The UL149 encoding proteins have binding ability to proteins mentioned above,and might interfere with the immunity responds to HCMV infection through multiple mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE: to explore the relationship between the maxillary sinus volume and the amount of alveolar bone, and the effect of molar loss upon the maxillary sinus was further analyzed,by measuring adult maxillary sinus volume, sinus ridge distance, and calculating the gasification coefficient of maxillary sinus. METHOD: One hundred and ninety cases (361 maxillary sinus) with CT examinations were collected, they were divided into group A and group B, 121 cases (242 maxillary sinus) of normal subjects served as group A, 42 cases (65 maxillary sinus) with molar part off were B group, in which 31 maxillary sinus with a molar loss were group B1,22 maxillary sinus with two molar loss were B2 group,12 maxillary sinus with three molar loss (one molar remains) were B3 group, 27 cases (54 maxillary sinus) with upper teeth off were C group. Bymeasureing the maxillary sinus volume, sinus ridge distance and the size of the maxillary sinus, calculating the gasification coefficient, we analyzed the relationship between maxillary volume and sinus ridge distance, and comparatively analyzed the differences among the three groups in the size, gasification coefficient, volume of maxillary sinus and sinus ridge distance. RESULT: In the normal group,the volume of maxillary sinus and sinus ridge distance had a correlation coefficient of -0. 63,(P< 0.05); Sinus ridge distance in group A was larger than the other two groups (P<0.05), and larger in B group than in C group (P<0. 05), anteroposterior maxillary sinus diameter and reft-right diameter in C group was greater than in A group and B group(P<0.05), group C gasification coeffiecent was less than A group and B group (P<0. 05). CONCLUSION The volume of maxillary sinus is negatively correlated with the amont of alveolar bone; Upper teeth's shedding promotes maxillary sinus deformation; Maxiuary sinus volume has a tendency to decrease.

This investigation was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension in 35 to 70 years old adults living in Xicheng District of Beijing. Cluster sampling was conducted in 2230 adults, and only 1958 individuals agreed to enter into the study. Written informed consents were obtained before questionnaire and physical examination. A total of 1889 data were used for analysis. The prevalence rate of hypertension was 47.8% (n=902). The age-standardized prevalence rate was 40. 1%. Hypertension was seen in 368 men (53.0%) and 534 women (44.7%) (P=0.0005). The rates of disease awareness, treatment, and control were 47.5%, 38.5%, and 24.1%, respectively. The prevalence of hypertension increased with age (P<0.0001). Linear trend was found between body mass index (BMI) and systolic blood pressure (P<0.0001). In multiple logistic model analysis, the hypertension risk for men was 1.33 times that of women (95% CI, 1.08-1.64), for participants with obesity was 2.81 times that of those with normal weight (95%CI, 2.00-3.97). Hypertension has become one of the most concerned public health problems in the district. Middle-aged people should pay attention to changed blood pressure, especial for overweight men. Health promotion should be needed for hypertension prevention. More attention should be paid to substantial increase in hypertension.
