ObjectiveTostudytheinhibitioneffectof c-mycASODN(antisense oligodeoxynucleotide) and 5-FU (5-fluorouracil) on the expression of c-myc gene and the proliferation of human hepatomacellsHEPG-2. MethodsAfter treatedbyliposomemediatedc-mycantisense phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotide (APSODN) and 5-FU, the growth inhibition rate was detected by MTT assay, the expression of c-myc mRNA was detected by RT-PCR and immunohistocehemical methods HEPG-2cells. The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometric analysis. The morphological changes were observed by fluorescence staining and cellular genome electrophoresis. ResultsAfter sealing c-myc gene with ASODN,the growth of cells was repressed and the effect was time-dependent and dose-dependent ( P = 0. 02 ). The ability of proliferation decreased, the expression of c-myc gene was inhibited on transcription and translation levels; 5-FU can induce apoptosis of hepatoma cells HEPG-2 dramatically with the dose of 10 μ mol/L, when treated by both c-myc ASODN and 5-FU, HEPG-2 cells was induced apoptosis in a cooperative style ( P =0. 01 ).ConclusionsThe liposome mediated c-myc (APSODN) and 5-FU can inhibit the proliferation of HEPG-2 cells by inhibiting the expression of c-myc gene and can induce apoptosis of hepatoma cells HEPG-2 in a cooperative style. c-myc ( APSODN ) can increase the sensitivity of 5-FU to hepatoma cells and decrease the effective concentration of 5-FU.

Objective To analyze the causes of the complications in the treatment of limb deformities with the Ilizarov technique and to discuss the management and prevention of these complications.Methods From January 2000 to October 2010,846 patients with limb deformities (16 upper limbs and 830 lower limbs) who had been treated with Ilizarov technique were retrospectively analyzed,including 508 males and 338 females with an average age of 25.7 years (range,1.2-72).Statistical analysis was used to compare the type,severity,treatment methods and results of complications.Results Postoperative follow-up lasted for 6 to 30 months,with an average of 18 months.There were 81 cases of pin tract infections,36 cases of restricted joint movements,6 cases of skin thermal damage,7 cases of nerves and vessels injury,8 cases of bone delayed union,2 cases of osteofascial compartment syndrome,7 cases of dislocation,5 cases of fixed needle breakage,8 cases of secondary joint deformities,5 cases of serious osteoporosis,6 cases of skin eruption,4 cases of femoral fractures near to proximal external fixator,3 cases of subsequent fracture after external fixator dismantled,11 cases of deformity recurrence and 1 case of the others.Combining with anti-infection,functional training,physiotherapy,and the second operation therapy and so on,a permanent disability was finally left in 13 patients.Conclusion If the Ilizarov technique was used improperly,there would be multiple complications during the preoperative preparation,surgical procedures and postoperative management.Effective preventive measures should be taken,such as following the principle of the Ilizarov technique,standardizing operation procedures,strictly postoperative observation,correcting postoperative rehabilitation exercise guidance,regular follow-up radiography and postoperative adaptability dynamic adjustment of the external technique.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of p53 protein and Ki-67 antigen in order to detect its clinical characters and the significance of them in them occurrence and development of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms.Methods 42 tissues of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms were selected by pathological diagnosis in the department of pathology of the PLA general hospital from May 1993 to October 2007.The 10 samples of control group were obtained from simple appendicitis after surgery.Applied PV6000 immunohistochemical method,the expressions of p53 protein and Ki-67 antigen were detected.Results The expression of p53 protein in appendiceal mucinous neoplasms was higher than that in appendicitis tissue [31.0 ％ (13/42) vs 0 (0/10),x2 =4.127,P =0.042).The positive rate of p53 protein in appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma was higher than that in low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm tissue (40.0 ％ vs 8.3 ％,x2 =4.0218,P =0.044).The positive rate of p53 protein in appendiceal mucinous neoplasms tissue with pseudomyxoma peritonei was higher than that in tissue without PMP (45.5 ％ vs 15.0 ％,x2 =4.5464,P =0.033).The expression of Ki-67 antigen in appendiceal mucinous neoplasms was higher than that in appendicitis tissue (45.2 ％ vs 10.0 ％,x2 =4.2374,P =0.039).Considering the different factors (such as gender,age,pathological type and PMP),Ki-67 antigen expressions were still not significantly different (P ＞ 0.05).In appendiceal mucinous neoplasms,the difference of positive rates of Ki-67 between the p53 positive expression group and the p53 negative group was statistically significant (x2 =7.6299,P =0.0057).Conclusion The expression of p53 protein was correlated with the expression of Ki-67 antigen.It's valuable that both p53 protein and Ki-67 antigen are used to evaluate the biological behavior of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms and predict the malignant degree.

Objective To explore the efficacy and feasibility of additional liposome doxorubicin with DVD regimen in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Methods Thirty patients with MM in Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2012 to January 2015 were selected and divided into treatment group (DVD group,liposomal doxorubicin+vincristine+dexamethasone),control group A(VTD group,bortezomib+thalidomide+dexamethasone) and control group B (VAD group, pirarubicin+vindesine+dexamethasone) with 10 cases in each,including 18 males and 12 females,aged from 36 to 72 years old,and the mean age was 55.8 years. The treatment effect and adverse reactions among the three groups were compared. Survival analysis was evaluated through Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank tests. Results Followed up to January 31st 2016, the therapy related mortality rates in three groups were 10%(1/10), 20%(2/10) and 10%(1/10), the total efficiency rates were 80%(8/10), 100%(10/10) and 60%(6/10), the median survival time was 25.5, 25.2 and 21.6 months, the disease free survival rates were 70%(7/10), 80%(8/10) and 50%(5/10). Survival analysis showed that the difference between DVD and VTD group was not significant (P=0.098) and there were significant differences between DVD and VAD group(P=0.027),VTD and VAD group(P=0.012). The incidence of peripheral neurotoxicity in VTD group(70%,7/10)was higher than that in other two group(χ2=14.7,P=0.007), and there was no significant difference in the other adverse reactions among the three group (all P>0.05). Conclusions In the treatment of MM, the efficacy of liposomal doxorubicin enhanced DVD regimen is similar to the VTD regimen and more effective than the traditional VAD regimen. It is a safe and effective method for MM.

Objective: To prepare diphenidol hydrochloride push-pull osmotic pump tablets and in-vestigate the influence of differ-ent factors on in-vitro drug release. Methods: The cumulative release of different formulas was detected. Using the cumulative release and similarity factor f2as the evaluation criterion, single factor experiment was applied to screen the core formula and coating process. Results: The drug release behavior was affected by the content of PEO in the drug containing layer, the content of NaCl and the weight gain of the coating layer. After the formula was optimized, the NaCl content in the drug containing layer was 10mg, the PEO-N10 con-tent was 15mg. In the push layer, the content of PEO-WSR303 was 60 mg, that of NaCl was 20 mg. The optimized coating liquid for-mula contained 1. 25 g·L-1PEG4000 and the coating weight gain was 7% of the core. The optimized formula fitted a zero-order equa-tion within 2-12h with the drug release equation of Q=6. 308t-2. 5037(r=0. 995 8). Conclusion: The preparation technology of di-phenidol hydrochloride push-pull osmotic pump tablets is stable, and the in-vitro drug release fits zero-order model.

Objective: To discuss the clinical application and effects of domestic external fixator in the treatment of patients with malformations of limbs. Methods: A total of 7 289 patients with malformation of limbs who had been operated in Qin Sihe orthopedic surgery team from January 1989 to June 2016 were retrospective analyzed. The patients were treated with domestic external fixator, including 4 033 males and 3 256 females, aging from 2 to 82 years with a mean age of 23.4 years. There were 2 732 patients using Ilizarov external fixator, 4 713 patients using hybrid external fixator, 57 patients using monobrachial external fixator, 232 patients using Ilizarov external fixator and hybrid external fixator. The Ilizarov, hybrid and monobrachial external fixator were used in 67, 65 and 0 patients on the upper limbs and in 2 665, 4 616 and 57 patients on the lower limbs. There were 3 028 patients operated on the left limbs, 3 260 patients operated on the right limbs and 1 001 patients operated on the bilateral limbs. The top three types of diseases were sequelae of poliomyelitis, cerebral palsy and post-traumatic stress disorder peromely. Deformity types inclued talipes equinovarus, knee flexion deformity, cavus foot and so on. Results: All the patients were followed up for a period of 2.5 months to 22.4 years, with an average follow-up time of 5.4 years. All of the external fixators were used for single once, and there was no substitute for external fixator quality problem. All the patients were completed surgery goal until removing external fixation except 1 patient gave up treatment and 1 removed the fixator because of metal allergy. The common complications included wire or pin infection and joint movement limitation and so on. Conclusions The domestic external fixator developed and produced based on the characteristics of Chinese limb deformity disability. The domestic external fixator can be used to treat kinds of limb deformities with the advantages of practical, economical, adjustable, universal and portable. The domestic external fixator could meet the clinical demand for fixation of the osteotomy end of the limbs, the correction of the deformity, the repair of the defects and the limb lengthening.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility of spectinomycin?minocycline?azithromycin and sparfloxacin to mycoplasma(Uu and Mh)and therapeutic effect of spectinomycin to my-coplasma infection in genitourinary tract.Methods①The susceptibility test:each of the4drugs was divided into two concentrations.One was at1?g/mL(sensitive concentration)and the other was at4?g/mL(resistant concentration).If mycoplasma does not grow in both concentrations,it means the drug tested is sensitive.If it grows in both concentrations,the drug tested is resistant.If mycoplasma grows in lower concentration and does not in higher concentration,it means moderate sensitive.②Treatment regimen:Spectinomycin was injected,2g/d IM,for7-10days as a course of treatmeant.Patients were followed-up7days later and2~4weeks after treatment.Results①Among1658specimens,519were found Uu positive,and61Mh positive.The resis-tance rates of Uu to4different drugs were:7.7%for minocycline,21.4%for sparfloxacin,13.9%for azithromycin and7.3%for spectinomycin.Whereas,those of Mh were:18.0%,45.9%,54.1%,and29.5%re-spectively.②The clinical effect of spectinomycin was:out of43treated patients,37(86.0%)cured,4(9.3%)markedly improved,2(4.7%)failed.Total effective rate was95.3%and so was the elimination rate of my-coplasma.Conclusion The resistant rate of mycoplasma to spectinomycin is lower than that to minocycline?azithromycin and sparfloxacin,and the former is widely used in the treatment of mycoplasma(especially Uu)infection,with a satisfactory clinical effect.

Objective To investigate the effects of high glucose and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) on the immune function of in vitro cultured macrophages during Nocardia farcinica infection. Meth-ods RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured in vitro under different conditions as follows: routine culture (control group),50 mmol/L glucose (high glucose group),10 mg/L LPC(LPC groupⅠ),25 mg/L LPC (LPC groupⅡ) and 50 mmol/L glucose+25 mg/L LPC(high glucose and LPC group). The activity of mac-rophages in each group was tested after 6,12,24 and 36 h of culture. After 24 h of culture, macrophages were collected from every group and co-cultured with Nocardia farcinica. Dynamic phagocytosis rates were detected at 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 h after co-culture. Toxic effects of Nocardia farcinica on macrophages and concentrations of IL-10 and TNF-α were measured at 1,3 and 6 h after co-culture. Results Macrophages in all four experimental groups showed decreased activity as compared with those in the control group (P<0.01). Phagocytosis of Nocardia farcinica by macrophages was also reduced by high glucose and LPC. Phagocytosis rates of high glucose group and LPC groupⅡ at 1 and 2 h,LPC groupⅠat 1,2 and 3 h,and high glucose and LPC group at 1,2,3 and 4 h after co-culture were significantly lower than that of the con-trol group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the control group, significantly reduced toxic effects on macrophages caused by Nocardia farcinica was observed in the experimental groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the control group,LPC groupsⅠand Ⅱ and high glucose and LPC group had decreased se-cretion of IL-10 at 3 h,and high glucose group and LPC groupⅠhad decreased secretion of TNF-α at 1 h(P<0.05). Conclusion Culture macrophages under the conditions of high glucose and LPC would reduce their activity and impair their ability to phagocytose Nocardia farcinica. Moreover, high glucose and LPC might have impacts on the toxic effects of Nocardia farcinica on macrophages and the secretion of IL-10 and TNF-α.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of single Taylor external fixator combined with biplanar osteotomy on correction of tibial multiplanar deformities. METHODS: Between October 2016 and December 2021, 11 patients with tibial multiplanar deformities (20 sides) were treated with single Taylor external fixator and biplanar osteotomy. Of them, 4 were male and 7 were female; the average age ranged from 13 to 33 years (mean, 21.9 years). Diagnosis included rickets severe genu varum deformity (7 cases, 14 sides), rickets severe genu valgum deformity (2 cases, 4 sides), multiple osteochondromatosis calf deformity (1 case, 1 side), neurofibromatosis medial lower leg anterior arch deformity with short of leg (1 case, 1 side). After fibular osteotomy and tibial multiplanar osteotomy, a Taylor external fixator was installed. After operation, the deformities were corrected successively and fixed completely. The osteotomy healed, then the external fixator was removed. Before operation and at 12 months after operation, the full-length X-ray films were taken. The leg-length discrepancy, medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), lateral distal tibial angle (LDTA), posterior proximal tibial angle (PPTA), anterior distal tibial angle (ADTA), and tibial rotation angle were measured. The degree of lower limb deformity was scored with reference to a customized tibial mechanical axis scoring table. RESULTS: Osteotomy was successfully completed without neurovascular injury and other complications. The external fixator was adjusted for 28-46 days, with an average of 37 days, and the external fixator was worn for 136-292 days, with an average of 169 days. Mild needle infection during the fixation period occurred in 3 sides, refracture at the distal tibial osteotomy in 1 side after removing the external fixator, and nonunion of the distal fibular osteotomy in 1 side. All patients were followed up 369-397 days (mean, 375 days). At 12 months after operation, the lower limb discrepancy decreased, but there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). MPTA, LDTA, PPTA, ADTA, and tibial rotation angle improved, and the differences in LDTA, ADTA, and tibial rotation angle were significant ( P<0.05). The score of lower limb deformity was significantly higher than that before operation ( P<0.05), and the results were excellent in 9 sides, good in 8 sides, fair in 3 sides, with the excellent and good rate of 85%. CONCLUSION Single Taylor external fixator combined with biplanar osteotomy is effective in the correction of tibial multiplanar deformities.
