BACKGROUND:Transient receptor potential protein channel is distributed in many kinds of tissue and cells in human body, and takes part in many physiologic functions and pathological changes of human body. However, up to now, transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) has not been reported in human cartilage.
OBJECTIVE:To study the expression of TRPM8, a subfamily member of transient receptor potential gene, in human knee joint cartilage.
METHODS:Fifteen samples were selected from patients after amputatioin due to severe trauma. Total protein was extracted from 300 mg cartilage tissue of every patient. To detect the distribution of TRPM8 in human
cartilage, cartilage sections were col ected in the same region. The expression and distribution of TRPM8 in human cartilage was detected by western blot analysis and immunofluorescence respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Western blot analysis showed that specific TRPM8 band was visible at molecular weight of 130 000, and as the age increased, TRPM8 expression in human cartilage was gradual y decreased. Immunofluorescence staining results showed that TRPM8 was evenly located in the cellmembrane of chondrocytes. TRPM8 is expressed in the human knee cartilage, specifical y in member of chondrocytes.

In recent years,along with social economic development and population aging,more and more fracture patients have received internal fixation and artificial joint replacement.Postoperative infection related to orthopedic implants is a catastrophic complication which imposes serious psychological,physiological and economic burdens on the patients.Therefore,it is necessary to be able to make an early diagnosis of the infection.However,diagnosis of implant-related infection is always a clinical problem for orthopedists.Currently,it is thought to be a valuable way to judge orthopedic implant infection by monitoring inflammatory cytokines.This article will offer an overview on the progress in research of diagnosis values of different inflammatory cytokines in postoperative infection related to orthopedic implants.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between air pollutants and mortality of residents in Huairou District, Beijing, providing a basis for the formulation of air pollution control measures. Methods : The data of daily deaths, meteorological factors and air pollutants in Huairou District from 2014 to 2018 were collected from Beijing Disease Prevention Monitoring Information Integration and Analysis System, Huairou Meteorological Bureau and Environmental Monitoring Station. The generalized additive models were used to analyze the relationship between the average daily concentration of air pollutants and the daily deaths. Results: The medians of daily average concentrations of SO2, NO2, CO, O3, PM10 and PM2.5 were 5.00 μg/m3, 24.00 μg/m3, 0.71 mg/m3, 77.27 μg/m3, 64.25 μg/m3 and 44.13 μg/m3, respectively. Except for O3, the daily average concentrations of SO2, NO2, CO, PM10 and PM2.5 showed decreasing trends from 2014 to 2018. An increase of 10 μg/m3 of NO2 resulted in an elevation of 1.69% ( 95%CI: 0.31%-3.08% ) , 3.31% ( 95%CI: 1.24%-5.42% ) and 3.31% ( 95%CI: 0.51%-6.19% ) for non-accidental death in the whole population, females and people under 65 years old, respectively, with a delay of 2 days (lag2). For every 10 μg/m3 increase in the daily average concentrations of CO and PM2.5, the risk of non-accidental death among people under 65 years old at lag2 increased by 0.08% ( 95%CI: 0.01%-0.14% ) and 0.88% ( 95%CI: 0.12%-1.64% ) , respectively. For every 10 μg/m3 increase in daily average concentration of O3, there was 0.69% ( 95%CI: 0.02%-1.36% ) increase in daily male non-accidental death risk at lag4. The results of the multi-pollutant model showed that after adjusting the effects of the other two air pollutants, NO2, CO and PM2.5 had no statistically significant effects on the daily non-accidental deaths of people under 65 years old at lag2 ( P>0.05 ) . Conclusion The ambient NO2, CO, O3 and PM2.5 pollution increase daily non-accidental deaths, which shows a lag effect．

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of dexamethasone combined with urokinase on the tuberculous pleurisy.Methods:From August 2013 to May 2016,190 cases of tuberculous pleurisy patients in our hospital were selected.All the patients were randomly divided into the observation group and control group with of 95 patients in each group,both groups were treated with anti tuberculosis treatment,the control group was given urokinase treatment,the observation group was given dexamethasone combined with urokinase treatment,both groups were treated for 1 month.After treatment,the total effective rate,incidence of adverse reactions,total drainage time of pleural effusion,total amount of pleural effusion,thrombin time and prothrombin time of two groups were compared.Results:All patients were well tolerated with injection during the treatment and there was no severe complication after treatment;the total effective rates in the observation group and the control group were 88.4％ and 72.6％,which was significantly higher in the observation group than that of the control group (P＜0.05).The total drainage time and total amount of pleural effusion in pleural effusion in the observation group were 7.56± 2.44 d and 2867.33± 456.10 mL,the control group were 9.44± 2.89 d and 1989.92± 444.20 mL,the total drainage time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that of the control group,and the total amount of pleural effusion was significantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the pleural effusion thrombin time and prothrombin time in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P＜0.05),which were higher in the observation group than those of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Dexamethasone combined with urokinase could prolong the thrombin time and prothrombin time,shorten the time of drainage of pleural effusion,increase the pleural effusion amount,with good safety and clinical effect in the treatment of tuberculous pleurisy.

Background Increase of lens thickness at incipient cataract is a key factor of onset of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).Phacoemulsification (Phaco) or phacotrabeculectomy (Phacotrabe) have been documented to be effective for the patients of PACG associated with cataract.However,which surgery is more effective and safe is lack of evidence.Objective This study was to assess and compare the clinical effectiveness of Phaco versus Phacotrabe for PACG with cataract.Methods The relevant literature was searched electronically from the PubMed (1966 to June 2011),EMB Reviews (1966 to June 2011) and Cochrane Library (Issue 1,2011).The manually searching of relevant conference proceedings was used as the supplement.The articles of randomized controlled trial (RCT) about the clinical effectiveness of Phaco versus Phacotrabe for PACG with cataract were included.The methodology quality of included literature was graded.The analysis indexes included intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowing range,postoperative administration of glaucoma drugs,incidence of positive complication,postoperative best corrective visual acuity (BCVA) and perimetry damage.The RevMan4.2 software from Cochrane Collaboration was used for the Meta analyses.Results Three RCTs about phaco versus Phacotrabe for PACG with cataract were selected in this study with the 164 eyes of 164 cases.Meta analysis showed that the IOP-lowing range was larger in the Phacotrabe group compared to only Phaco group with the WMD of 1.17 and 95％ CI of 0.06-2.27 (P =0.040),and the drug dosage of anti-glaucoma was less in the Phacotrabe group in comparison with the Phaco group with the WMD of 0.5 and 95％ CI of 0.24-0.77 (P =0.000).However,the incidence of postoperative complication was higher in the Phacotrabe group than that of the Phaco group with the RR of 0.08 and 95％ CI of 0.02-0.33 (P =0.000).No significant difference was found in the BCVA (WMD =0,95％ CI:-0.13-0.13,P=1.00) andperimetry (WMD =1.01,95％CI:0.56-1.82,P=0.98).Conclusions Compared with Phaco,Phacotrab has a better IOP-lowing effectiveness and slightly worse safety.Phaco and Phacotrab have a fairly influencc in the postoperative BCVA and perimetry.As the sample sizes of the included trials are relatively small,more welldesigned large-scale RCTs are needed.

Objective To investigate diagnostic and prognostic significance of protein C in acute leukemia with disseminated intravaseular coagnlation(DIC). Methods APTT, P-T, D-Dimer, Fbg, antithrombin (AT) and protein C(PC) were determinated in plasma of 44 DIC patients with acute leukemia and 30 normal controls.

Objective To observe the effects of lentivirus-mediated RNA interference silencing IL-1 type Ⅰ receptor on the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in a rat model of osteoarthritis (OA), and to explore the role of IL-1 and MAPK in OA. Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into four groups(A-D, each group: n = 10). The rats (A-C group) were underwent unilateral anterior cruciate ligament transaction and partial excision of the medial meniscus. At day 7 and 9 after operation, the rats of group A were respectively received 40 μL of lentivirus-mediated RNAi silencing IL-1 type Ⅰ receptor by intra-articular injection, while the rats of group B were received lentivirus-mediated RNAi non-silencing IL-1 type Ⅰ receptor, and the rats of group C were received saline. The rats of group D were taken for normal control. All rats were sacrificed four weeks after the surgery. The knees were harvested to observe macropathologic changes of the joint cartilage. ERK1/2, JNK1/2 and p38 proteins in the cartilage were detected by Western blot. Results Cartilage degradation in group A was milder than that in group B and C (P<0.05),but was worse compared to group D (P<0.05). Level of p38 expression in cartilage in group A was lower than that in group B and C (P<0. 05), but had no significant difference compared to group D (P>0.05). Levels of ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 expressions in cartilage in group A were lower than that in group B and C(P<0.05),but was significantly increased compared to group D(P<0.05). Conclusions Lentivirus-mediated RNAi silencing IL-1 type Ⅰ receptor can inhibit the expression of MAPK, in particular,p38 protein was strongly inhibited.
