BACKGROUND:Canada Montreal Scholar Mutch et al have recently proposed a new morphologic classification of fracture of greater tuberosity of humerus. They divided these fractures into three typeavulsion, split and depression.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the recovery of shoulder function after conventional plate-screw and hol ow-screw fixation for the repair of the split fracture of greater tuberosity of humerus.
METHODPatients with greater tuberosity of humerus, who were treated in the Department of Orthopedics of Yichang Yiling Hospital, China from January 2010 to January 2014, were classified according to Mutch’s classification. A total of 83 patients with split greater tuberosity of humerus after complete fol ow-up were retrospectively analyzed. Of them, 23 cases received plate-screw fixation as plate-screw group, and 60 cases received hol ow-screw fixation as hol ow-screw group. Visual Analog Scale, the United States Scores of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and Constant and Murley Scoring Systems were utilized to assess the therapeutic outcomes. Patient’s pain and changes in shoulder function were analyzed before and after treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 83 patients were fol owed up. Fixator was obtained at 1 year after surgery in al patients. No significant difference in Visual Analog Scale, the United States Scores of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and Constant and Murley Scoring Systems was detected in both groups before treatment (P>0.05). Significant differences in Visual Analog Scale, the United States Scores of Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and Constant and Murley Scoring Systems were detectable in both groups at 16 months after removal of the fixator (P<0.05). Data were better in the hol ow-screw group than in the plate-screw group. Above results suggested that hol ow-screw fixation in the repair of split fracture of greater tuberosite of humerus is simple to be operated, with smal trauma, and is an ideal fixation method. Clinical repair effect is better than plate-screw fixation.

Background and purpose:Studies have shown that renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is closely associated with tumor progress. angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ) is the most important component of RAS. This study aimed to investigate the possible mechanism by which AngⅡ affected the cell proliferation in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods:CCK-8 was used to investigate the cell proliferation alteration of MCF-7 cells after treatment of AngⅡ at different dose and time. The inlfuence of losartan (an AT1R inhibitor) and PD98059 (a MAPK inhibitor) in AngⅡ-enhanced cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8. Protein expression was analyzed by Western blot.Results:AngⅡ stimulated the growth of breast cancer cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The maximal proliferation effect on MCF-7 cells was obtained with 10-7 mol/L AngⅡ and 24 h, respectively (P<0.000 1). Losartan signiifcantly decreased the level of AngⅡ-induced proliferative effects (P<0.05). Western blot showed that AngⅡ caused rapid activation of p-ERK. In addition, PD98059 could signiifcantly suppress AngⅡ-promoted cell proliferation.Conclusion:AngⅡ can promote MCF-7 cell proliferation through AT1R/ERK/MAPK pathway activation, which could be reversed by losartan or PD98059. Therefore, targeting AngⅡ/AT1R/MAPK signaling could be a novel therapeutic for breast cancer.

BACKGROUND:A single hemostatic material has been proved not to facilitate wound healing or to produce certain adverse reactions; while composites composed of two or three different materials can improve the
advantage and histocompatibility of hemostatic materials.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of gelatin sponge impregnated with hemocoagulase solution on amount of bleeding in patients with lumbar fractures undergoing posterior spinal decompression.
METHODS: Fifty patients with lumbar fractures who were scheduled for open reduction, pedicle screw fixation
and laminectomy were enroled, including 25 cases treated with gelatin sponge impregnated with hemocoagulase before surgical incision closure as test group and 25 cases treated with single gelatin sponge before surgical
incision closure as control group. Postoperative drainage volume, drainage time, length of stay, number of re-admissions and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The postoperative drainage volume, drainage time and length of stay in the test group were significantly less than those in the control group (P < 0.000 1). No infection, epidural hematoma, or
re-admission of patients was found, and there was no hemocoagulase-impregnated absorbable gelatin sponge- related adverse reaction. These findings indicate that posterior laminectomy with hemocoagulase-impregnated gelatin sponge can significantly reduce patients’ postoperative wound drainage and shorten the length of stay.

AIM: To isolate peptides targeted binding and internalizing into glioblastoma cell line SWO-38. METHODS: Tumor cells were screened five rounds of whole cell screen through the Ph.D.-12 phage display library. The monoclone specific binding efficiency to the tumor cell was analyzed, and the DNA of phages were extracted, sequenced and translated to the sequences of amino acid. RESULTS: In the phage library after five rounds of screen , 10 of 13 monoclones had highly selective binding to SWO-38 cells. We found two repeated peptide sequences. CONCLUSION: Whole cell screening against tumor cells through random phage peptide library can obtain phage peptides with highly specific binding and internalizing ability. The peptides could be used as a therapy vector for tumor targeted delivery.

BACKGROUND:Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) can stimulate the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into cellcycle, and cause their immune activation, which is a common immune proliferation model. However, the role of non-PBMC ingredient of peripheral blood is unclear, as wel as the expression of endothelial cells related cytokines. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of whole blood culture and PBMCs alone culture with PHA on the PBMC proliferation and apoptosis, expression of inflammatory cytokine and endothelial cellsecreted cytokine markers. METHODS:Morphological changes of PBMCs separated from normal karyotype human peripheral blood individual y cultured with or without PHA were observed. The PBMCs were col ected by whole blood culture or PBMC separated culture. mRNA was extracted for the fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR, which was applied to detect the cellproliferation, apoptosis, and expression of inflammatory cytokine and endothelial cellsecreted cytokines. The statistic analysis was used for the significance explication. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:PBMCs alone cultured ere different from those undergoing whole blood culture. The PHA could up-regulate the gene expression of Ki67, proliferating cellnuclear antigen, Caspase 3, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-βand interleukin-6, but down-regulate Protein C. This indicted that PHA could promote the proliferation and apoptosis of PBMCs and up-regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines, but down-regulate the expression of endothelial cells secreted coagulation cytokines.
