Objective:To discover the influence within four hours of different storage time in vitro on the osteogenic capability in bone autograft.Methods:The ilium blocks in 0.9% saline were kept at room temperature for 0、1、2、 3 or 4 hours before replacement to extra-skeletal muscle gaps in the same rabbit.The grafts transplanted to muscle gaps were divided into two types:irrigating bone marrow with saline and non-irrigating bone marrow.The histological specimens of the autograft in extra-skeletal muscle gaps were taken at the 3rd day and 1、2、4、6 weeks after operation, stained by ALP.PAS and HE,and analysed by histomorphometry.Results:There were survival osteocytes and osteoblasts in all ectopic graft groups three days after operation,but no new bone formation.New osteoid tissues were formed one week after operation, and they increased at the second week and were gradually transformed into woven bone and lamellar bone tissues in all ectopic graft groups. The results of histomorphometry analysis showed there was no remarkable difference among all ectopic graft groups.Conclusion:Storage of the bone blocks in 0.9% saline for four hours before implant has no remarkable influence on the capacity of bone formation in bone autograft.Irrigating bone marrow with saline would not influence the survival of autograft and the capacity of new bone formation.Therefore,it is a reasonable method to keep bone blocks in saline before implant.

AIM: The aim of this study is to investigate the acute inhibitory effects of adrenomedullin(ADM 1-52 ) on hypoxia pulmonary hypertension and its influence on systemic blood pressure. METHODS: Thirty-six male Wistar rats were divided into two groups. Eighteen were exposed to hypoxia for 21 days as hypoxic pulmonary hypertension group,and another eighteen were kept in ambient as control group. Each group were divided into three subgroups which were injected intravenously with ADM 0 1 nmol/kg, 0 3 nmol/kg, 1 nmol/kg, respectively,then hemodynamic parameters were recorded. Plasma cyclic adenosine 3,5,-monophosphate (cAMP) was measured by radioimmunoassay before,during and after injection of 0.3nmol/kg adrenomedullin(ADM 1-52 ). RESULTS: Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP)in the hypoxia and control rats treated with ADM decreased, the fall in hypoxia rats is more obviously than control( P

Objective To summarize the clinical effect of open reduction and internal fixation for the proximal humeral fracture with locking proximal humerus plate (LPHP). Methods A total of 45 cases with complex humeral fractures were operated via deltoid-pectoral approach. According to the Neer classification, there were 33 cases with three-part fractures and 12 with four-part fractures. Neer nu- merical rating system was employed to evaluate postoperative function of the involved shoulder. Results Of all, 38 cases were followed up for a mean 14.7 months, which showed fracture union within 3 months in 35 cases and fracture union within 4 months in 3. According to the Neer numerical rating system, re- suh was excellent in 20 eases and satisfactory in 15, with total excellence rate of 92%. Conclusion LPHP is characterized by stable fixation, minor complication and high satisfaction, and hence is an effec- tive method for proximal humeral fractures.

Objective To investigate the expression of CD44V6 in thyroid neoplasms and its significance. Methods The expression of CD44V6 in paraffin-embeded thyoid carcinoma tissue from 100 patients (50 with lymph node metastasis,50 without) and 20 patients with thyroid adenoma was measured by immunohistochemistry staining. Results Positive expression of CD44V6 in the group of thyoid carcinoma was 72%, significantly higher than the group of thyroid adenoma.Positive expression of CD44V6 in the group of thyoid carcinoma with lymph node involvement was 90%,significantly higher than the group of thyoid carcinoma without lymph node involvement.In patients with different pathological grade,different clinical stage and different survival time, the positive expression of CD44V6 was significantly different. Conclusions The results suggest that CD44V6 can be regarded as an valuable molecular markers to distinguish benign thyroid tumor from malignant tumor, to predict lymph node metastasis and prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate clinical value of electrocochleography in diagnosing the Meniere's disease. METHOD: Patients were saperated as having definite, probable and possible Meniere's disease according to the 1995 AAOHNS guidelines. Then set the probable and possible Meniere's disease as a suspected group. We used four different stimulus (clicks, 1000 Hz tone burst, 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz tone burst) to record electrocochleo-graphy. Those patients in each group received electrocochleography examination, and summating potential (SP)/action potential (AP) ratios were calculated. A prolonged action potential latency shift (AP shift) evoked by rarefaction and condensation clicks was also measured. RESULT: The click SP/AP positive rate in definite Meniere's disease group was 41.2%, tone burst at 1,000 Hz. 2,000 Hz,4,000 Hz were respectively 80.4%, 72.5%, 37.3%, AP shift positive rate was 45.1%. Using McNemar test, the positive rate of tone burst 1000 Hz (chi2 = 15.04, P < 0.01) and that of tone burst 2,000 Hz (chi2 = 8.65, P < 0.01) were statistically significant different when compared with that of click SP/AP, besides the tone burst at 1,000 Hz yielded has the highest sensitivity. The click SP/AP positive rate in suspected group and definite group were respectively 12% and 45.1% (chi2 = 6.610, P < 0.05) and AP shift positive rate of them were respectively 8.0% and 41.2% (chi2 = 10.460, P < 0.01). By chis-quare test, the positive rates of click SP/AP and AP shift between these two groups were statistically significant different. CONCLUSION Electrocochleography is a reliable test in the diagnosis of Meniere's disease. Compared with clicks, tone burst significantly has a higher sensitivity, especially at 1000Hz and 2000Hz frequencies. A prolonged action potential latency shift evoked by rarefaction and condensation clicks is also a useful addition to diagnosis Meniere' disease.
