BACKGROUND:Microporous vacuum polysaccharide hemostatic microspheres are derived from degenerated potato plant starch and prepared through special processing. It is an ideal absorbable polymer styptic material with independent intelectual property rights. OBJECTIVE: To observe the degradation of microporous vacuum polysaccharide hemostatic microspheres and detect the safety indicators of body fluids by implanting microporous vacuum polysaccharide hemostatic microspheres in rats. METHODS:0.1-0.2 g microporous vacuum polysaccharide hemostatic microspheres were implanted subcutaneously on the left side of the spine in 12 rats. At the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th days after implantation,the degradation of microporous vacuum polysaccharide hemostatic microspheres in the tissue was observed. Another 15 rats were selected, of which 5 rats were taken as the control group and fed normally, and 10 rats were subjected to anesthesia. Two incisions were made on both sides of the spine, about 5 cm, deep into the muscular layer of 0.3 cm. The right amount of hemostatic microspheres were sprayed on the incisions and covered the entire wound, then the incisions were sutured. The 10 rats were raised normally for 14 days. The various indicators of body fluids such as appearance features, activities, excretion, feeding were detected. Finally, the rats were dissected, and the gross morphology and color changes of main organs were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The microporous vacuum polysaccharide hemostatic microspheres buried in rats were completely degraded and absorbed within 7 days. After spraying the right amount of microporous vacuum polysaccharide hemostatic microspheres on the incision, the vital signs and biochemical indicators, such as blood and urine tests were all normal. The gross morphology and color of main organs such as liver, spleen, brain and kidney were not found significant anomalies. These results demonstrate that microporous vacuum polysaccharide hemostatic microspheres can be degraded into monosaccharide by amylase and can be completely degraded and absorbed within 7 days, without any side effects to tissues and organs.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the postoperative application of nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) in rhinogenous obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients, so that to observe the parameters including vital signs of the patients and evaluatethe value of clinical application and reliability of NPA.
METHOD:
A total of 216 patients diagnosed as rhinogenous OSAHS were randomly assigned to experimental group (setting NPA, 112 cases) and control group (not setting NPA, 104 cases) according to whether NPA was placed in the nasal cavity postoperatively. ECG, oxygen saturation and hemodynamics were monitored for 24 h postoperatively. The pharyngeal pain and discomfort, low oxygen saturation and hemodynamics were compared between these two groups. The subjective assessment and clinical symptoms were compared between the two groups using visual analogue scale (VAS).
RESULT:
The experimental group showed better relief of nasal obstruction, nasal pain, headache, dry pharynx, insomnia and pain while taking out nasal packing compared with control group, where the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01). In the experimental group, the level of LSa2O2 (P < 0.05), HR (P < 0.01), SBP (P < 0.05), DBP (P < 0.01), MAP (P < 0.01) and RPP (P < 0.01) was significantly lower than in the control group.
CONCLUSION
The postoperative application of nasopharyngeal airway in rhinogenous OSAHS patients could help to keep nasal patency and avoid the upper airway obstruction, which exhibited good safety and compliance. The nasopharyngeal airway can reduce patients' discomfort and improve hyoxemia, ensuring hemodynamic stability.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for protrusio acetabuli. Methods Between 2003 to 2008, 31 patients(35 hips) with protrusio acetabuli were treated with THA, including 16 males (18 hips) and 15 females (17 hips). The age ranged from 36 to 71 years (average age 52.2 years). The femoral heads were moved out with retrograde method when necessary via posterior-lateral hip incision. The acetabular loops and bottoms were prepared respectively. Auto-bone grafting was used to repair acetabular defects and cementless prostheses were planted with press-fit skills. At follow-up visit,the hip functions were evaluated by Harris score. The loosening, re-protrusion and the union of graft bone was judged by X-ray. Results The mean follow-up was 46.5 months (19-152 months). One patient developed DVT on the second day post-operatively who recovered well after anticoagulation treatment. One patient complained of gentle thigh pain which disappeared at 6 months. No other complication was found. The mean Harris scores had improved from 48.9±6.5 pre-operatively to 91.2±5.7 post-operatively. All prostheses acquired bone stabilization with no sign of loosening and re-protrusion and the grafts bone were healed at a mean 6 months according to X-ray. Conclusion THA with acetabular bone grafting and cementless component for protrusio acetabuli have acquired excellent results and prevented loosening and re-protrusio effectively.

Abstract A novel luminol electrochemiluminescence strategy based on titanium dioxide/carbon nanotubes ( TiO2/CNTs) nanocomposites for detection of glucose was developed. First, the TiO2/CNTs nanocomposites were prepared by a sol-gel method and modified on the glassy carbon electrode. The electrochemiluminescence ( ECL) signal could be greatly enhanced when the electrode was established by the nanocomposites, which finally resulted in the increased sensitivity. Glucose oxidase calalyzed the oxidation of glucose to form H2 O2 , and the H2 O2 reacted with luminol to produce the ECL signal. Thus the above system was proved to be efficient for glucose detection. The modified electrode exhibited excellent ECL signals and a good linear range of 1. 0í10-7-5. 0í10-6 mol/L with a detection limit of 5. 2í10-8 mol/L towards glucose detection. This strategy was successfully demonstrated as a sensitive, rapid, simple and cost-effective method to detect glucose. Meanwhile, the TiO2/CNTs nanocomposites offered a novel material for the signal enhancement in electrochemiluminescence sensor.

Objective To assess the functional restoration in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) who underwent hip resurfacing arthroplasty and to determine whether greater abduction angle of the acetabular component is relat?ed to larger diameter of femoral head component. Methods We reviewed 34 DDH cases (9 hips of 8 males and 25 hips of 24 fe?males, mean age 44.6±11.85 years at the time of surgery) on whom we performed hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) from October 2006 to September 2009. The total hip Arthroplasty (THA) group was consisted of 35 DDH cases (8 hips of 8 males and 27 hips of 25 females, mean age 43.7±10.4 years at the time of surgery). All operations were performed by the same doctor over the same peri?od. Assessment of the functional hip scores was conducted by Harris Hip Scores. A radiographic study was also performed to evalu?ate the implants stability and abduction angle of the acetabular components. All the data was analyzed with Kolmogorov?Smirnov method. Results The mean follow?up was 6.2 years in the HRA group. The Harris Hip Score improved from 54.9±13.2 to 97.3± 6.2 after the surgery. The mean abduction angle of the acetabular component was 51.6° ± 5.33°, hip flexion was 127° ± 6.9° and mean diameter of femoral head was 46.5±1.5 mm. The mean follow?up was 5.9 years in the THA group. The Harris Hip Score im?proved from 51.6±19.7 to 95.6±7.9 after the surgery. The mean abduction angle of the acetabular component was 43.9°±4.90°, hip flexion was 117°±4.2°. There was no failure of the prosthesis, peri?prosthetic fracture and infection in either group. There was sig?nificant difference in the abduction angle of the acetabular component (P<0.05) and flexion of the hip between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients in the HRA group had a better functional restoration and larger range of motion. Furthermore, a larger diameter of femoral head component could be achieved by placing the acetabular component in a greater abduction angle, which may contribute to a better long?term stability.
