Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of ankle chute tibia bone graft fusion treatment of late kaschin-beck disease.Methods Thirty-three patients with late kaschin-beek disease performed ankle arthrodesis,the ankle surgery in 5 cases,simple right ankle surgery in 13 eases and 15 cases of left ankle surgery.Intraoperative used tibial chute hollow screw internal fixation and bone graft plaster external fixation postoperatively.Followed up 0.5-6.0 years,compared the American orthopaedic food and ankle society (AOFAS) score before surgery to determine the efficacy of last follow-up,X ray film fusion situation assessment in the postoperative period.Results Thirty-three cases did not occur postoperative incision infection,vascular or nerve complications.Last follow-up,30 cases were no obvious discomfort,3 cases of mild ankle pain,accompanied by walking or standing for a long time after the foot heel had mild acid bilges feeling,did not affect the daily life.The AOFAS score before surgery was significantly lower than that last follow-up [(25.84 ± 16.81) scores vs.(87.32 ± 4.68) scores] (P ＜ 0.01).Clinical efficacy excellent in 25 cases,good in 5 cases,general in 2 cases,poor in 1 case.Follow-up X line piece was showed that in all cases to achieve bony fusion.Conclusion Using sliding kashin-beck terminal patients treated ankle bone graft fusion,simple operation,high bone graft fusion rate,less complications,curative effect is positive.

A new NK cell subset with antigen presentation function was recently found and called as interferon-producing killer dendritic cells (IKDC cells).These cells co-express surface markers of NK cells and DCs;functionally,they can secrete interferons,kill target cells and have antigen-presenting ability.IKDCs extensively exist in almost all lymphoid tissue or organs with similar phenotype,but recent studies indicated that IKDCs were developmently not from DC cells but from NK cells,the conclusion of which is still in its early stage.The discovery of IKDC will be help to understand the link between innate and adaptive immunity.

Natural killer (NK) cells have long been considered the only representative of lymphocyte lineages among the innate immune system ,but recent studies have revealed that several types of innate lymphoid cells ( ILC ) exist in both humans and mice.These newly identified ILC populations were mainly distributed at mucosal barriers ,regardless of their rarity ,they play important roles in the defense against pathogens and in the maintenance of tissue or organ homeostasis .In the early stages of ILC development ,a common ILC lineage-restricted progenitor exists and under the control of different transcription factors ,the progenitor can later give rise to different ILC subsets with distinct phenotypes and functions.Different ILC subsets exhibit distinct cytokine secretion profiles ,based on the categorization of helper T cell subsets , ILC family has been further classified into three groups.The finding of diverse ILC extremely enriches the content of innate immunity ,and also provides new insights into links between innate and adaptive immunity .

Natural killer ( NK) cells are important innate effector cells and play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis through potent cytotoxic activity and cytokine production. Recent findings show that NK cells can also shape adaptive immune responses by in-fluencing a variety of immune cells. In addition to direct interactions with other immune cells,NK cells can indirectly stimulate or inhibit adaptive immune response via influencing infected cells and pathogen load. Abundant studies have highlighted the positive regulatory functions of NK cells, while their negative regulatory functions have increasingly attracted attention in recent years. Here, we review recent findings on negative regulation of adaptive immune response by NK cells, discussing the involved effector cells and function mechanism,and demonstrate how this negative regulation influences the overall outcome of adaptive immunity in infection and tumor disease.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for patients with fresh osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods From February 2010 to November 2011,103 patients with fresh OVCF were assigned to receive either PVP or conservative treatment according to their choice or the choice of surgeons.There were no significant differences between the 2 groups regarding general clinical data (P ＞ 0.05).The pain was scored at pre-treatment,1,4,12,24 and 48 weeks post-treatment in all the patients.The vertebral re-fractures were recorded in both groups at follow-ups.The 2 groups were compared in terms of postoperative pain relief and risk of re-fracture.Results The overall pain relief at 1,4 and 12 post-treatment in the PVP group was significantly greater than in the conservative treatment group (P ＜ 0.05).The pain relief at night at 1,4 and 12 post-treatment was significantly greater in the PVP group than in the conservative treatment group (P ＜ 0.05).At one year post-treatment,7 vertebral re-fractures were observed in the PVP group (18.4％,7/38) and 12 ones in the conservative treatment group (20.3％,12/59),with no significant difference between the 2 groups in the risk of re-fracture (Hazard ratio =0.909,95％ CI:O.36 ～ 2.29,P =0.841).Conclusion Compared with conservative treatment,PVP may significantly reduce the pain for patients with fresh OVCF but does not increase the risk of vertebral re-fracture.

A cytotoxicity model of primary cultured hepatocytes with D-galactosamine (D-Gal) has been established. The ALT value of culture medium was used as the marker of cell injury. Using this model, the in vitro antihepatotoxic effects of hepatic stimulator substance (HSS), isolated from regenerating adult rat liver, as well as Potenlin and 15-amino acid solution were observed. The results showed that although HSS could stimulate DNA synthesis in serum-free culture of adult rat hepatocytes, it had no effect to reduce ALT value in vitro. However the latter could be reduced by Potenlin or 15-amino acid solution in high concentrations. The described model may be useful for preliminary screening of antihepatotoxic activity of drugs.

Objective To clarify the helical CT features and anatomic distribution of recurrence and metastasis of postoperative esophageal cancer.Methods Fifty patients ( 43 men , 7 women , ages 42~76 , mean 58 years ) with postoperative esophageal cancer underwent helical CT examination.On the basis of axial CT imaging , CT features were evaluated , including types , anatomic distribution and time of recurrence in patients with postoperative esophageal cancer .Results Among 50 patients , 31 patients developed recurrence and metastasis. Of 31 patients , 12 patients had recurrence of upper gastrointestinal tract , including esophagogastric anastomoses (n = 8), esophageal stump (n =1) , and intrathoracic stomach (n=3). Lymph node metastasis were investigated in 28 cases , which included right upper paratracheal (2R, n=11), and subcarinal right(7+8, n=11) ; 13 patients possessed lymph node metastasis of two and over-two regions ; Five patients had abdominal para-aortic lymph node metastasis. Metastasis of lung, liver and pancreas were discovered in 8, 7 and 1, respectively. There were six with pleural fluid . All of recurrence and metastasis occurred in the periods from 3 months to 1 year after surgery (P

Natural killer ( NK) cells have historically been considered short-lived cytolytic cells that can rapidly respond against microbial pathogens and tumors in an antigen-independent manner.Recently,NK cells have been shown to possess features of a-daptive immunity with immunological memory in a manner similar to that of T and B cells.Three major viewpoints of NK cell memory initially arose from the studies of NK cell memory to recall to mouse cytomegalovirus ( MCMV ) , cytokine and skin-contact hypersensitive chemical antigens.Currently,NK cell memory has been reported in acute infection of mouse HSV ,influenza virus,HCMV and simian immunodeficiency virus ( SIV).Here,we review the latest discoveries and unsolved questions regarding NK cell memory in these models.Studies to reveal the mechanisms for NK cell memory may provide opportunities for the therapeutic use of NK cells in in -fectious diseases and cancer.

Objective To investigate the changes of stress response on inhalation-intravenous general anesthesia during pericystectomy for Liver hydatid cyst. Methods Thirty ASA I-II patients with liver hydatidosis for pericystectomy were studied. The blood from right jugular vein were collected for measurement of serum cortisol (Cor) concentrations and glucose (BG) levels, and MAP, HR and BIS were observed and recorded at different point-times: pre-intubation for 1 min, post-intubation for 3 min, pre-incision for 1 min, post-incision for 3 min, post-incision for 10 min, post-surgical exploration 10 min. The data of pre-intubation and pre-incision served as controls. Results The levels of Cor concentration of post-incision for 10 min were decreased than those of pre-intubation and pre-incision (P<0.05); MAP of post-incision for 10 min and post-surgical exploration for 10 min were increased than those of pre-intubation and pre-incision (P < 0.01); For HR, the data of post-surgical exploration 10 min was much quicker compared with pre-incision (P < 0.01), which is slower than that of pre-intubation(P<0.01). Conclusion Inhalation-intravenous general anesthesia may inhibit the stress response during intubation,incision and surgical exploration for liver hydatidosis pericystectomy. Hemodynamic changes during incision may reflect the trend of stress response in advance.
