Objective Bone cement joint prosthetic aseptic loosening always occurs in the bone cement-bone interface, while the mechanical strength of the interface mainly depends on the microstructure and adhesive strength.The aim of this study was to ex-plore the bone microstructure and the cement bone interfacial biomechanics of osteoarthritis(OA) and rheumatoid arthritis(RA), and also discuss the correlation. Methods Twenty trabecular bone specimens of tibial plateaus were taken from OA and RA patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty( TKA) .The microstructural parameters of the trabecular bone specimens were measured by Skyscan1176 microcomputed tomography.The bone specimens were made into cementbone models, which were tested by INSTRON strength tester.The association of bone microstructure and interfacial shear stress was analyzed subsequently. Results ①Bone volume fraction ( BV/TV) ( r=-0.313) , trabecular thickness ( Tb.Th) ( r=-0.340) ,trabecular spacing ( Tb.Sp) ( r=0.345) of OA had obvious correlation to shear strength (P<0.05).The cement-bone interfacial strength of medial tibial plateaus[(87.45±52.50)N] was lower than lateral tibial plat-eaus[(177.25±71.11)N] of OA (P<0.05).②Bone volume fraction (BV/TV)(r=0.343), trabecular number (Tb.N)(r=0.391) of RA had obvious correlation to shear strength (P<0.001).The cement-bone interfacial strength of lateral tibial plateaus[(62.23±46.22) N] was lower than medial tibial plateaus[(79.20±56.37N)] of RA (P<0.05).③The interfacial strength of OA[(132.35±76.64)N] was higher than RA[(71.05±51.55)N] (P<0.05). Conclusion There are differences of microstructure between OA and RA, which lead to the distinction of strength of cement -bone interface.And it has a certain guiding role of analyzing the biomechanics in TKA.

Objective To investigate the method of endovascular puncture to establish rabbit models of cerebral vasospasm. Methods New Zealand white rabbits were divided into 5 groups (12 h,1 d,2 d,3 d and 7 d) randomly, and each group was separated into subarachinoid hemorrhage (SAH) subgroup (n = 5) and control subgroup (n = 2). cerebral vascular spasm (CVS) models were established atfer SAH with endovascular puncture. CT scans before and after operation were performed. The internal diameters and the wall thicknesses of posterior communicans artery (PcoA) and basilar artery (BA) were measured with HE stain after the animals were executed. Results CVS model was successfully eastblished in 35 rabbits (SAH subgroup 25,control subgroup 10), resulting a successful rate of 48.61% . Compared with control subgroup, PcoA and BA showed shrinkage of internal diameters of 43.60% and 51.82% 12 h after SAH, respectively, and the shrinkage appeared as biphasic patterns until the 7th study day with another peaks of 29.32% and 45.19%, respectively. Conclusions Endovascular puncture is an effective method to establish rabbit of CVS. The death rate of animals can be decreased with the asage of new interventional material and perfection for the details of operation.

BACKGROUND:Increasingly studies report that the normal balance of bone metabolism may be destroyed in the case of postmenopausal osteoporosis or osteoarthritis. The concrete metabolic process of bone turnover could be revealed sensitively by measuring the bone turnover markers in the serum or urine.
OBJECTIVE:To study the bone density and bone metabolic index of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO), and to discuss the characteristics of bone density and bone metabolic index in KOA and PMO.
METHODS:A total of 248 postmenopausal women were detected for bone mineral density and knee X-ray. Final y 180 patients were included in this study and were divided into three groups:KOA group, PMO group, and control group. The levels of bone turnover markers (bone alkaline phosphatase, bone gla protein, col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b) in serum from the participants were measured. The correlation between bone turnover markers and the disease progression was analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The bone mineral density in the KOA group was higher than the control group but col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide was lower. The levels of bone gla protein, col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b in serum from PMO group were higher than the control group. The decrease of col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide was associated with the incidence of KOA, and the increases of bone gla protein, col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b were associated with the incidence of PMO. The lower bone absorption can be seen in postmenopausal women with KOA. PMO patients showed a higher bone turnover rate. The difference of bone metabolism between patients with KOA and PMO led to negative relationship of bone mineral density. The serum levels of bone gla protein, col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b can assist clinical diagnose and therapeutic effect detection of both KOA and PMO.
