Objective To evaluate the clinical effects and experiences of short stem ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty in the treatment of young and middle-aged patients with femoral head necrosis.Methods From December 2009 to March 2011,40 patients with femoral head necrosis were treated primarily with short stem ceramic-on-ceramic hip arthroplasty (43 hips) through posterior-lateral or anterior-lateral approach.There were 23 males,17 females; with the mean age of 40.5 years (range,27-55 years).All cases were stage Ⅳ or more according Steinberg stage.The patients were followed up at the 3,6,12 months after operation,and then once each year.Standard X-ray films were taken at the follow-ups.Femoral prosthesis subsidence was assessed through X-ray films.Harris scores system and WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index were recorded before and after operation to evaluate clinical effects of surgery.Results Thirty-eight patients (41 hips) were followed up for 21-36 months,with an average of 31.3 months.The femoral stem subsided 0.68±2.90 mm at the last follow-up.After operation,hip pain of patients was relieved obviously.The Harris score improved from 38.7±12.1 (15-66) preoperatively to 95.2±4.49 (83-100) postoperatively,WOMAC Index from 66.7±12.0 (49-94) to 12.8±5.6 (0-24).During follow-up period,there was no serious complication such as femoral neck fracture,infection of wound,pulmonary embolism,et al.No dislocation,implant prosthesis failure and infection were observed.Conclusion The short stem hip arthroplasty preserves bone stock to a great extent.The short stem implant showed a good stability and osseous integration.The wear rate of ceramic-on-ceramic bearing surface is extremely low.Short stem hip arthroplasty plus ceramic-on-ceramic bearing surface might be a good option for the young and middle-aged patients with femoral head necrosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the methylation of p16(INK4a) and RB gene, and the expression of p16(INK4a) in meningiomas.
METHODSMethylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) was used to detect the methylation of p16(INK4a) and RB in 50 cases of meningiomas, and immunostaining was performed to analyze the protein expression of p16(INK4a) in 25 of those cases.
RESULTSNo methylation was found in the benign meningiomas, whereas methylation of p16(INK4a)or RB occurred in 6(37.5%) cases of grade II tumors and 4(28.6%) cases of grade III tumors, and among these cases, an atypical meningioma showed methylation of both genes. Thirteen cases showed p16(INK4a) positive expression, but none of them was methylated.
CONCLUSIONThe methylation of p16(INK4a) or RB is related with the tumorigenesis and progression of atypical and anaplastic meningiomas, and a probable mechanism is that methylation causes the loss of expression and leads to dysfuncation of the p16(INK4a)/cyclin D1/CDK4/RB pathway.

OBJECTIVETo study the potential relationship between the expressions of c-jun and c-fos oncogenes and the prognosis of medulloblastoma.
METHODSThe specimens from 70 cases of medulloblastoma of the posterior fossa and 10 cases of normal cerebellar tissues were collected to determine c-jun and c-fos expressions by immunohistochemical staining in formalin fixed paraffin-embedded sections.
RESULTS(1) It showed that c-fos and c-jun protein expression was negative in 10 normal cerebellar tissue, while positive c-fos, c-jun immunoreactivity was found in 70 medulloblastoma specimens. The positive rate of c-jun and c-fos was 80% and 77%, respectively. There was high expression of c-jun and c-fos protein in medulloblastoma tissues. (2) There were positive correlations and strong co-operativity between c-jun and c-fos expression (r = 0.493, P < 0.01). (3) Correlative analysis indicated that expression of c-jun, c-fos were significantly correlated with survival time (c-jun: r = -0.447, P < 0.01; c-fos: r = -0.590, P < 0.01). The higher the expression level of c-jun and c-fos protein was, the worse the prognosis was in medulloblastoma patients.
CONCLUSIONSHigh expression of c-jun and c-fos protein could be noted in medulloblastoma tissues. The two transcription factors show positive correlation and strong co-existence between c-jun and c-fos expressions. The expression levels of c-jun as well as c-fos are negatively correlated with the mortality rate and life expectancy of patients with medulloblastoma. In addition, the co-expression of c-jun and c-fos could serve as an indicator for judging the prognosis of medulloblastoma.

OBJECTIVETo test whether the tumor vessel density (TVD) from the enhanced spiral CT can preoperatively predict nodal status and distant metastasis of colorectal cancer.
METHODSForty cases of colorectal cancer patients who received surgical treatment were included in this study. The three dimensional tumor vessels were reconstructed by an enhanced CT 64-slice spiral CT and its AW4.4 image processing platform. The TVD was measured by the 1000 high-resolution color graphics pathological analysis system. The TVD level was compared between different tumor size, classification, and TNM stage. The postoperative pathological staging was taken as golden standard.
RESULTSThe sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for direct prediction of lymph node metastasis by the enhanced CT 64-slice spiral CT was 74.1%(20/27), 53.8%(7/13) and 67.5%(27/40) respectively. The TVD from the reconstructed three dimensional tumor vessels in the group with lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than that without metastasis(0.070±0.046 vs. 0.037±0.013, P<0.05). The TVD in the distant metastasis group was significantly higher than that without distant metastasis (0.130±0.032 vs. 0.049±0.030, P<0.01). No difference of TVD was found between different tumor size, invasion depth, and differentiation type.
CONCLUSIONTVD level from the reconstructed three dimensional tumor vessels can indicate lymph node and distant metastasis of colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVETo prepare the monoclonal antibody (mAb) against tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases I (TIMP-I) fusion protein.
METHODSTIMP-I gene was amplified from fibrotic human liver tissue by RT-PCR, then ligated with pQE31 to form recombinant plasmid pQE-TIMP-I and transformed into E. coli BL21. The protein induced by IPTG was purified by 6 x His-tag and used to immunize the BALB/c mice. The specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were prepared by the cell fusion technique. Western Blot were used to detect specificity of mAbs.
RESULTSThe prokaryotic plasmid expressing the recombinant protein was constructed, and the TIMP-I recombinant protein was expressed and purified. Four hybridoma cell lines that secreted anti-TIMP-I mAbs were obtained. 3 of 4 mAbs were the IgG1 subtype. Western Blot indicated the mAbs showed specific combination with TIMP-I protein.
CONCLUSIONThe TIMP-I recombinant protein is highly purified and has strong antigenicity. The anti- TIMP-I mAbs were prepared successfully.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the reliability of a newly developed grating projection system 3DSS-STD-II by three-dimensional reconstruction of dental cast, so as to offer some evidence for dental computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM).
METHODSFive groups' data of mandibular dentition cast from different angle: Occlusion, right lateral dentition, anterior dentition, left lateral dentition and posterior of the cast were scanned and acquired by 3DSS-STD-II new measuring system. The five groups of acquired data were then under simplification and combination process and the digital dental cast was finally reconstructed by the reverse engineering software Geomagic 6.0. After the reconstruction process, the plaster dental cast and digital reconstructed dental cast were then manually and digitally measured respectively by different items: Width of incisors, width of anterior dental arch, width of buccal segment, length of anterior dental arch and length of buccal segment. The manual process was undergone by vernier caliper and the digital process was by reverse engineering software. The statistical analysis was then undergone in order to evaluate the reliability, repeatability and scan-precision of the new grating projection system.
RESULTSWith the statistical analysis results, the grating projection system 3DSS-STD-II showed its good reliability and repeatability in three-dimensional reconstruction of dental plaster cast. There were no significant differences between the data acquired by 3DSS-STD-II digital scanning system and manual measurement by vernier caliper in the precision.
CONCLUSIONThe new grating projection system of 3DSS-STD- II equipped with high reliability and fast speed can meet the need of the fast data acquisition and three-dimensional reconstruction of dental cast and CAD process.
