The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in sports is a common knee joint injury.It is widely accepted to reconstruct ACL under arthroscopy with autologous patellar ligament or popliteal ligament fixed in tibial or femoral tunnel with interference screws.Interference screws are widely used as intra-articular fixation devices in ACL reconstruction.The ideal materials for interference screw provide rigid fixation of graft with high mechanical strength,long-lasting stiffness and the bioactivity to stimulate osteointegration and tendon-bone healing.Current interference screws are made of metals and bio-absorbable polymers.Metallic interference screws provide high mechanical strength and stiffness for tendon graft fixation,but require a second surgery for removal.Bioabsorbable interference screws made of polymers avoid second surgery for removal,but have lower mechanical strength and might cause aseprtic inflammation during its degradation as well as screw slip,tunnel enlargement and many other complications.Magnesium (Mg) has been investigated as a novel and potential biomaterials for biodegradable interference screws.Mg is essential nutrient element and has good biocompatibility.Its mechanical strength and related stiffness are much higher than that of biodegradable polymers and are close to cortical bone.Furthermore,the degradation rate of Mg in vivo could be modulated via techniques such as alloying.In previous studies,the relationship between screw design and its pull-out force has been investigated,based on which the design of interference screw is optimized.The mechanical properties (the ultimate load to failure and the related stiffness) of interference screws proved to be higher than that of bioabsorbable interference screws sharing the same design both in vitro and in vivo.Furthermore,Mg performs good biocompatibility without severe intra-articular inflammatory reactions,as well as unique bioactivities to promote osteointegration,mineral deposition and the regeneration of fibrocartilaginous entheses.The present study reviews the researches of Mg interference screws both in vitro and in vivo,gives reference for further research and has great importance for the application of Mg interference screws in ACL reconstruction.

Objective To discuss action of microelement Se in serum and milk of gestational diabetes melli-tus parturient.Methods The serum and milk samples were collected from 50 gestational diabetes mellitus parturient and 50 healthy parturient.The selenium contents were detected by radioimmunoassay.Results The serum Se content in gestational diabetes mellitus parturient was obviously lower than that in healthy parturient(t =2.128,P <0.05). The milk Se content in gestational diabetes mellitus parturient was lower than that in healthy parturient(t =1.014, P >0.05).Conclusion Selenium deficiency persisted in gestational diabetes mellitus parturient.But Selenium defi-ciency did not exist in milk of gestational diabetes mellitus parturient.So encouraging breastfeeding,elevating selenium containing food intake,and supplement the selenium preparation properly maybe prevent and delay type 2 diabetes in gestational diabetes mellitus parturient.

Objective To report the anatomical study and clinical application of the medial sural artery pertorator flaps. Methods The anatomical study involved 12 fresh adult cadaver lower legs, the arteries of which were perfused with suspensions of lead oxide and gelatine. The bifurcation, location, length, diameter and blood territories of the medial sural artery and its perforating vessels were recorded by dissection, angiography and photography. The integument of the leg was dissected and ridiographed. The tendency of the vessels was analyzed, the surface areas of cutaneous territories and perforator zones were measured and calculated with Photoshop and Scion Image. With the aid of anatomic study, a series of five clinical cases was reported, including five free medial sural flaps for ipsilateral hand reconstruction. Results There was at least one perforating vessel in the medial sural areas of the specimen. A mean of 2.1 perforators was noted over the medial gastrocnemius muscle. The perforating vessels from the medial sural artery clustered about 9 to 18 cm from the popliteal crease, 1 to 5 cm from the posterior medial line. Their diameter was (1.03±0.22)mm at the deep fascial level. The average vascular territory on the sural area was (107.5±23.9)cm2, and the average supplying area of single perforator was (58.3±17.0)cm2. All the transferred free flaps taken in the 5 clinical cases survived uneventfully. All the patients were followed-up from 6 months to 12 months. The appearance of flaps and the function of the limbs were satisfied. Conclusion The standard method for the study of perforator flap is the lead oxide-gelatin technique. It is the anatomic basis that there are perforating musculocutaneous vessels on the medial gastrocnemius muscles constantly. The free medial sural perforator flap has the advantage of good appearance. It is the safe and suitable choice in the cases when a medium or small-sized flap is required for resurfacing hand injuries.

Objective To measure the cancellous bone contents at different parts of the humeral heads of different ages and genders for data helpful for humeral head fixation.Methods Thirty-six patients with proximal humeral fracture were selected for this study who had been treated at our department with locking proximal humerus plate from June 2008 to April 2010.They were 18 men and 18 women,aged from 20 to 86 years (average,51.6 years).They were grouped according to age:group A ( ＜ 40 years),group B (40 to 60 years),and group C (＞ 60 years).A GE Sensation 16 CT scanner (GE Healtbcare,USA) was used to scan both of their affected and healthy humeral heads preoperation,with slices one mm thick.The bone density of cancellous bone was assessed by the CT value expressed in Hounsfield units.The maximum,minimum,and mean CT values were calculated for the cancellous bone in the humeral head in each image.CT images were processed by computer with custom software (Xiphoid 1.3,Image J 1.4g and Image-Pro Plus 6.0).All the data were analyzed with SPSS16.0.Results We found 4 weak point.s at the cortical bone of proximal humerus,correspondent with the 4 clinic CT types of proximal humeral fracture.The cancellous bone was the densest in the medial humeral head.The mean cancellous bone content was significantly lower in group C than in group A and B( P ＜ 0.05).There was a significant difference between men and women in group A in the BMD of cancellous bone ( t =4.744,P =0.001 ).Conclusions The cancellous bone content in the humeral head is related with age and gender.Since there is more cancellous bone in the medial part than in other parts of the humeral head,it is a reliable part for humeral head fixation.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of peripheral blood parameters including immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF) in monitoring the hematopoietic recovery of patients with acute myeloid leukemia aftcr receiving consolidation chemotherapy with high dose cytarabine (HDAC).Methods The peripheral blood parameters,including absolute neutrophil (ANC) and platelet (Plt) counts as well as IRF,were measured by Sysmex XE-2100 automated hematology analyzer before and after consolidation chemotherapy with HDAC in 30 patients with acute myeloid leukemia.These peripheral blood parameters were further statistically analyzed and compared.Results Following consolidation chemotherapy,the median time to recovery for ANC,Plt and IRF was (9.2±2.5) days,(11.3±3.7) days and (5.0±2.6) days,respectively.In comparison with ANC and Plt recovery,IRF showed significantly early recovery (P ＜ 0.05).Additionally,ANC raised preceding Plt recovery (P ＜ 0.05).However,the median recovery time of ANC,Plt and IRF showed little difference among these patients further subgrouped according to FAB and risk based classification (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion IRF is an early indicator for the hematopoietic recovery of patients with acute myeloid leukemia following consolidation chemotherapy with HDAC,which could provide important clinical information to evaluate therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To investigate the response of multiple myeloma (MM) cells to 8-chloroadenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (8-Cl-cAMP) and the impact of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the above reaction.Methods MM-derived cell lines RPMI8226 and U266 were used as in vitro models.Cell apoptosis was evaluated according to cellular morphology and DNA content measured by flow cytometry.Meanwhile,rhodamine 123 (Rh123) staining and flow cytometry assay were used to detect the changes of mitochondrial transmembrane potentials (△ψm) in MM cells before and after the treatment.The synergic effects of 8-Cl-cAMP and As2O3 were evaluated by King' s formula.Results The 8-Cl-cAMP could induce growth inhibition of RPMI8226 and U266 cells in dose and time-related manners.The 8-Cl-cAMP could trigger apoptosis and △ψm collapse in MM cells through cellular morphology and flow cytometry analysis.As2O3 accelerated 8-Cl-cAMP-mediated apoptosis of RPMI8226 cells,but there were few synergic effects observed.Conclusion 8-Cl-cAMP could induce cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in MM cells.Mitochondria may be one of targets in 8-Cl-cAMP-mediated apoptosis.Furthermore,As2O3 catalyzes 8-Cl-cAMP-induced apoptosis.

Objective To determine the vitamin D status in children with sepsis/severe sepsis in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in order to explor the association between vitamin D status and clinical outcomes,in turn to provide evidence for optimizing nutrition support.Methods It was a prospective,observational,multi-center study,carried out in patients with sepsis/severe sepsis from March 1,2013,to March 30,2014,in the PICUs of three tertiary-care children's hospitals.Total serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25 (OH) D] was measured by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at admission.The association of vitamin D status at admission with length of PICU length of stay,total hospital stay,in-hospital mortality,28-days mortality and costs were analyzed.Results A total of 194 patients includng 117 boys (60.3％)and 77 girls (39.7％) were enrolled.There were 96 patients with sepsis and 98 with severe sepsis.The mortality on discharge and 28 days were 6.7％ and 24.2％ respectively.The median vitamin D level was 9.79 ng/mL (5.32,18.46) at admission.Of them 77.8％ (151/194) had vitamin D deficiency and 50.5％ (98/194) had severe vitamin D deficiency.Patients with severe vitamin D deficiency,had higher mortality on discharge (P =0.011).Vitamin D status had no significant correlations with 28 days mortality,length of PICU stay,total hospital stay and costs.Conclusions More than three-quarters (77.8％) of children with sepsis/severe sepsis in PICUs had Vitamin D deficiency.Patients with severe vitamin D deficiency at admission had higher risk of mortality at discharge.

Objective To study the anatomy of superficial palmar digital veins in fingertip,and explore the clinical application of superficial palmar digital veins as venous drainage in fingertip replantation.Methods One hundred fingers were studied with three methods: microanatomy,sectional anatomy,and X-ray.According to microanatomical observation,thirteen fingers in 10 cases with fingertip amputations and dorsal veins defect were replanted by anastomosis of palmar digital veins to reconstruct the venous drainage of the amputated digits. Results ( 1 ) 1 to 3 tiny superficial palmar digital veins can be found at the level of the onychorrhiza.The average diameters of the superficial palmar digital veins were 0.2-0.5 mm.(2)In clinical practice,13 replanted fingers were survived.After 3-18 months following-up,the appearance and function were satisfactory. Conclusion The distribution of the palmar digital veins was in some pattern.Anastomosis of the superficial palmar digital veins can not only improve the success rate of the fingertip replantation,but also avoid the complications of the other venous drainage methods.

Objective To report the anatomical study and clinical application of the vascularized composite fibula perforating osteoseptocutaneous flap. Methods Latex injection studies were performed on 24 adult cadaveric lower limbs. The presence, prevalence, and location of the peronel artery and its perforators in the distal leg were documented. 16 vascularized fibul osteoseptocutaneous flaps were performed for reconstruction of composite soft-tissue defect of limbs. The flap areas ranged from 6 cm×4 cm to 16 cm× 8 cm. Results A mean of 5.3 perforating vessels of the peroneal artery was noted in the specimen. 40.6% of them were muscularcutanous perforators, and the other were septacutanous perforators. The perforating vessels were all located within 3.1 cm from the postlateral fibula. The average diameter was 1.1 mm at the deep fascial level, and the interval of them was 4-8 cm. There were two constant perforators which located about 15-25 cm and 4-7 cm from the lateral maleolar respectively. All of the 16 clinical cases survived uneventfully and the time to union of the graft-host junction site were 3 to 5 months. The appearance of flaps and the function of the limbs were satisfied during 10 to 36 months following up. Conclusion It is the anatomic basis that there are pedorating vessels of the peroneal constantly. The vnscularized compound fibula perforating osteoseptocutaneous flap has the advantage of flexible design. It is the safe and suitable choice in the cases when compound bone and soft tissue defects of the limbs are required for reconstruction.
