Cartilage injury has a very limited capacity of recovery by itself due to the lack of blood vessel in cartilage tissues. Current studies indicate that many kinds of cytokines have the function of promoting cartilage formation or repairing the injured cartilage with cartilage-like tissues. Cell-mediated transfer of the respective genes may ideally combine the supply of a chondrogenic cell population with the production of certain factors se-creted from the lesion and to promote the repairing of the lesion, which is considered the best treatment. Gene therapy based on this technology has developed rapidly in recent years. This review aims to summarize some of the development of the research in the field.

Objective To evaluate the efleet of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII)combined with mefformin hydroehloride( Met H)on type 2 diabetic patients. Methods 240 patients with type 2 diabetes melli-tus (T2DM) were divided into 3 groups randomly: CSII combined with Met H ( A group: n=80) ; simple CSII ( B group:n=80) ; multiple deliver insulin (MDI) ( C group: n=80). The levels of blood glucose, HbA1 e, therapeutic time, a-mount of insulin, Fins ,C-P, HOMA-IR and IAI were compared among them before and after 10d of treatment. Results GroupA, B eornpared with group C, the levels of HbA1 e significantly deeroased in other two groups [ ( 8.0±3.2)%vs. (6.9±1.4)% and(7.0±1.2)% ] (aU P<0.05),so did the therapeutic time[(6.0±1.9)d vs. (3.0±1.4) and(3.5±1.5) d] and insulin dose[ (55.0±17.0) U/d vs. (38.0±15.0) U/d and(45.0±16) U/d] (all P<0.05). The insulin dose was much less in group A than in group B. Versus group B and C,the HOMA-IR of group A (0.8±0.3 vs. 1.5±0.4 and 1.6±0.4)decreased(P<0.05) ,and IAI(-2.0±4.3 vs. -3.6±4. 2 and -4.1±4.3) increased (all P<0.05), without the function impairments of heart, liver or kidney. Conclusion CSII in combi-nation with mefformin hydreehloride can significantly enhance the treatment effect of the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitns; reduce blood glucose and HbA1 e, improve insulin resistenee,lessen insulin need.

ObjectiveTo study the hemodynamic changes in combined portoazygous devascularization and mesocaval shunt for treating portal hypertension and the effect of this operation. Methods100 cases of portal hypertension who received this combined operation from 1980 to 1995 were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsFree portal pressure(FPP)after shunt decreased to 1.92 kPa,which decreased portal pressure and preserved with (2.46 ± 0.30)kPa to maintain a good inflow to the liver and the encephalopathy rate was lowered. There was no death, and the effect was satisfactory. 5～15 years follow-up of 89 cases showed no rebleeding,with only 5% of encephalopathy and 15% of total mortality. Among them, 13 cases of Child C died of late-stage hepatopathy, such as liver failure, liver cancer and hepatorenal syndrome,with 94.5% of 5-year survival rate and 68.5% of 10-year survival rate. ConclusionThis combined operation is characterized by complete devascularization of sustaining varices and distal partial shunt with logical diameter. A perfect combination of both shunt and devascularization, it's one of the best choices currently available for treating portal hypertension in China.

IL-17,as a pro-inflammatory cytokine,is one of the early initiation factors of the inflammato-ry response induced by T cells.It can induce and regulate multiple immune responses.Recent studies have re-vealed that myeloid neutrophils,macrophage,mast cell and other innate immune cells all can secrete large a-mount of early responding IL-17 in organs suffering ischemia/hypoxia,and in turn can activate,amplify and re-cruit neutrophils to the reperfusion-damaged tissue to release large amount of free radicals and lysozyme that cause IRI.Researchers have also provided evidence that appropriate administration of anti-IL-17 mono-antibody to neutralize IL-17 during early reperfusion stage would reduce the tissue damage.The purpose of this review is to summarize the research progress of the effects of IL-17 produced by innate immunocyte on organ reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate the clinical characterisitics of chronic panereatitis(CP) with mass.Methods The clinical features,radiologieal and pathologic records of 39 cases of chronic pancreatitis with mass confirmed pathologically between January 2005 to December 2007 were retrospectively reviewed,and compared with 17 surgical pathologically confirmed patients with pancreatic cancer.Results The jaundice was found in 14 of 39 patients with pancreatits and 1 of 17 patients with pancreatic cancer,with significant difference between two groups(χ2=0.111,P=0.045).Elevated serum CEA and CA19-9 were found in 0 and 12 patients with pancreatitis.respectively,and 3 and 11 patients with pancreatic cancer,respectively(P=0.025 and=0.018,respectively).CT examination showed that the atrophy pancreas and the infiltration of surrounding and blood vessels were found in 0 and 5 patients with pancreatitis or 3 and 8 patients with pancreatic cancer,respectively(all P values＜0.05).The magnetic resonance cholangiopanereatography (MRCP) examination revealed that dilation of bile and pancreatic ducts,and calculus in pancreas duct were found in 14,2 and 15 patients with pancreatitis,or 11,6 and 2 patients with pancreatic cancer,respectively(all P values ＜0.05).Pancreatic cancer was confiremed by endoscopic ultrasonography guided fine needle aspiration(EUS-FNA)in 10 of 14 patients with pancreatic cancer,but none in 18 patients with pancreatitis.Conclusions It is difficult to diagnose CP with mass,but it will helpful ifassists diagnosis with clinical features,tumor markers and image examinations,especially with biopsyexamination.

Objective To investigate infection statue and antibiotic susceptibility of Mycoplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis in the genitourinary tract in our area, so as to instruct the rational use of antibiotics. Methods Genitourinary secretions were collected with swabs. They were cultured with the diagnostic kit of Mycoplasma (Biomerieux Company) to detect M. urealyticum and M. hominis. Meanwhile the susceptibility of Mycoplasma against 9 antimicrobial agents was tested with the same kit. According to the manual of the kit,the results were read. The data were statistically analyzed. Results A total of 2 410 samples were collected, and the positive rate was 58. 1%. Among 1410 positive cases of Mycoplasma, 901 cases were M. urealyticum (37.4%), 85 were M. hominis (3.5%), and 415 were M. urealyticum combined with M. hominis (17.2%).The susceptibility rate of M. urealyticum to josamycin, pristinamycin, ciprofloxacin was 98. 8%, 98. 8% and 6. 4% respectively, while the susceptibility rate of M. urealyticum combined with M. horninis was 86.9%,86. 8% and 2.6% respectively. Conclusion M. urealyticum is the major cause of Mycoplasma infection in genitourinary system. Josamycin and pfistinamycin are more effective than other antimicrobial agents to treat Mycoplasma irffection. Ciprofloxacin is more resistant than other antimicrobial agents. Sensitive antibiotics should be selected based on the results of bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests so as to raise the clinical curative effects.
