A retrospective analysis was performed among 8 patients with unilateral intraarticular calcaneal fracture, who were selected from the Department of Orthopaedics in Yangpu District Central Hospital of Shanghai. They were treated with the injectable bone graft MIIG[R] X3 combined with percutaneous reduction by leverage and axial fixation from June 2005 to November 2006. After treatment, the function of affected feet was evaluated according to the ankle-hindfoot score of the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (totally 100 points). All the patients were rechecked with X-ray films periodically to observe the reaction between the materials and the host, the healing of fracture, the pain of limbs and joint motion. Eight patients were all followed up, the complication rate reached 12.5% (1/8), the improvement of Bohler angle excelled 18° to 25°, and that of Gissane angle exceeded 30° to 35°. Among the included patients, 6 cases achieved excellent effect and 2 cases good. All developed the bone union. None of all had complications, such as necrosis of skin, hematoma and deep infection.

Objective To investigate the expressions of DKK1,SFRP4 and Wnt1 in cervical squamous cell carcino-ma(SCC), and the clinical significance thereof. Methods There were 76 samples of cervical squamous cell carcinoma were included in SCC group and 36 benign uterine resection specimens were control group (NC). The immunohistochemical meth-od was applied to detect the expressions of DKK1,SFRP4 and Wnt1 in two groups. Results The expression of DKK1 was significantly lower in SCC group than that in NC group (P＜0.05). The expression levels of SFRP4 and Wnt1 were significant-ly higher in SCC group than those of NC group (P＜0.05). There were significant differences in the expressions of DKK1, SFRP4 and Wnt1 between samples of different clinical staging, differentiation, sizes of tumor and lymph node metastasis (P＜0.05). The expression of DKK1 was negatively correlated with SFRP4 and Wnt1 in SCC group (P＜0.05). The expression of SFRP4 was positively correlated with Wnt1 in SCC group (P＜0.05). Conclusion The roles of SFRP4 and Wnt1 are syn-ergistic interactions in the development of SCC. DKK1 is an inhibiting factor of SCC.

This study aimed at preparing paeonol thermosensitive gel and preliminary exploring its properties in vitro.Tube inversion method was adopted to investigate the effects of concentrations of poloxamer 407 and poloxamer 188 on gelation temperature.Then,viscosity of the gel was detected by rotary viscometer,and in vitro erosion and drug release characteristics of the gel by no film stripping method.As a result,the gelation temperature of poloxamer 407 decreased with the increase of its concentration,while gelation temperature of poloxamer 407 increased with the accelerating concentration of poloxamer 188.The cumulative drug release of paeonol thermo sensitive gel was up to 70％ in 320 rin.Gel dissolution and drug release were simultaneously performed without burst release phenomenon.It was concluded that the preparation process of paeonol thermo sensitive gel was simple and easy to use with the overt effect of sustained-release.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of patients with subclinical pheochromocytoma(PHEO).Methods Review of clinical features of 22 patients with subclinical PHEO treated in PUMC hospital from 1997 to 2007.Results All patients were asymptomatic.24hr-urinary catecholamine excretion was detected normal in 10 of 22 cases,while increased in the others.Sixteen patients were prepared with ?-receptor blocker before operation.During the operation,BPmax(maximal blood pressure) before tumor resection,BPmin(minimal blood pressure) after resection and ?BP(BPmax-BPmin) were(163?34)/(86?20)mmHg,(105?12)/(61?10)mmHg and(58?37)/(25?21)mmHg,Respectively,in the prepared group.They were(169?36)/(104?20)mmHg,(97?18)/(56?13)mmHg and(71?48)/(48?29)mmHg in the other 6 cases without ?-blocker preparation.DBPmax and ?DBP in the prepared group were significantly lower than the unprepared group.Conclusion Most patients with subclinical PHEO have increased catecholamine secretion.Blood pressure is fluctuant greatly during operation in some patients.Patients should be treated with ?-receptor blocker preoperatively in order to decreasethe operation risk.

OBJECTIVETo investigate elastic changes of the radial artery, a medium-sized muscular peripheral conduit artery, in patients with borderline systolic hypertension.

METHODSUsing a non-invasive high-resolution echo-tracking device coupled to a photoplethysmography (Finapres system) allowing simultaneous arterial diameter and finger blood pressure monitoring, we measured radial artery elastic parameters of 20 patients with borderline systolic hypertension and 20 normal subjects according to Langewouters model.

RESULTSThe diameter of the radial artery of control subjects and those with borderline systolic hypertension at the isobaric level of 100 mmHg and mean arterial pressure was similar, but the compliance and distensibility at similar conditions in patients with borderline systolic hypertension did not further reduced and even increased.

CONCLUSIONIn patients with borderline systolic hypertension, the adaptive responses of the radial artery compliance and distensibility to increased pressure were directed to maintain its elasticity, contributing to the homeostasis of the cardiovascular system.
