After the second round, the average score of important target was no less than 8.0, and more than half of indicators had a full mark, coefficient of variation targets no higher than 0.20 were up to 100%. Coefficient of concordance of two rounds were 0.241 and 0.433 respectively. ConclusionsAfter two rounds of consultation, there were 13 quality indicators left and experts had well authoritativeness and representative.

OBJECTIVETo study clinical effects of the over-articular external fixator combined with limited internal fixation for the treatment of Pilon fractures caused by high energy.

METHODSFrom September 2003 to April 2011, 36 patients with Pilon fractures caused by high energy were treated with the over-articular external fixator combined with limited internal fixator. There were 25 males and 11 females, ranging in age from 16 to 72 years old,with an average of 38 years old. The diagnoses of all patients were determined by conventional X-ray examination or three-dimensional spiral CT examination. The AOFAS scoring criteria was used to evaluate the therapeutic effects. The patients with comminuted fractures were treated with screw or Kirschner wire fixation without uncovering periost so as to enhance stability between fracture end and bone blocks,followed by the fixation with over-articular external fixators.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 4 to 27 months, with an average of 13 months. Thirty-two patients got wound healing at the first stage. And the bone union duration ranged from 2 to 6 months, with a mean of 3 months. According to the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot subjective scoring standard, 13 patients got an excellent result, 20 good and 3 fair, with an score of 88.2 +/- 3.6. Twelve patients had infections at pinhole, 5 patients had pinhole pain. One patient had the fixator broken induced by over loading, who was cured after treatment. There were no complications such as nerve or vascular injuries, or osteomyelitis.

CONCLUSIONThe over-articular external fixation combined with limited internal fixation for the treatment of Pilon fractures caused by high energy is an ideal method, which has such advantages as reliable fixation, simple operation, coincidence with principles of biomechanical fixation, and benefit for fracture healing.

Objective To obtain antibiotic-resistant mutants producing metabolites with antitumor activity from wild-type actinomycete strains without antitumor activity. Methods An actinomycete strain L35-1 was used as an initial strain for obtaining antibiotic-resistant mutants, which is a marine-derived wild-type strain without antitumor activity with an inhibition rate of 2.8% at the 1000 μg/ml of high sample concentration on K562 cells. The antibiotic-resistant mutants both from auto-mutagenesis and chemical mutagen-induced mutagenesis were selected by single colony isolation on antibiotic-containing plates according to the method for obtaining drug-resistant mutants in ribosome engineering. The antitumor activity was assayed by the MTT method using K562 cells for the mutants with aqueous acetone extracts of the whole broth of their fermentation.Results A total of 114 neomycin-resistant (ner) and 68 streptomycin-resistant (str) mutants, all from auto-mutagenesis, was obtained on drug-containing plates. Among them, the 7 ner and 3 str mutants appeared to be bioactive with an inhibition rate above 20% at the 100 μg/ml sample concentration on K562 cells. On the other hand, 41 str and 32 ner mutants from DES-induced mutagenesis and 46 ner mutants from NTG-induced mutagenesis were obtained by mutagen-induced mutation coupled with the single colony isolation on antibiotic-containing plates, among which, one str mutant from DES-induced mutagenesis and one ner mutant from NTG-induced mutagenesis were bioactive with an inhibition rate over 20% at the 100 μg/ml sample concentration on K562 cells. Conclusions The present result has revealed that the wild-type actinomycete strains without bioactivity might become a great source initial strains to obtain bioactive mutants by drug-resistant mutation technique.

Objective:To express rationally engineered antibodies against EGFR and assess their affinity to EGFR and anti-tumor cell migration effect. Methods:L and V_H genes of humanized antibodies against EGFR were designed and synthesized. Genes encoding V_H and C_H were connected and then cloned into a pIRES based bicistronic expression vector. Gene encoding the corresponding L gene was also cloned into the same vector. 293T cells were transfected with the recombinant plasmid and the antibody expression was confirmed by Western blotting. The antibodies were purified by protein A based affinity chromatography. Binding of the humanized antibody to the EGFR was assessed by Surface Plasmon Renainance with Biacore3000, and the biological activity of the humanized antibody was determined by tumor cell invasion test.Results:Three expression vectors were constructed and the humanized anti-EGFR antibodies were expressed and purified successfully. In reducing SDS-PAGE, the antibodies exhibited two bands of approximately 25×10~3and 50×10~3, respectively. Western blot assay showed that the humanized antibodies had recognition specificity to goat-human IgG antiserum. Biacore assay revealed that the humanized antibody C3 binds to EGFR with high affinity(6.13×10~(-10)M). Cell migration test showed that C2,C3 and C5 could suppress growth and migration of tumor cells.Conclusion:Three anti-EGFR humanized antibodies (C2,C3 and C5) have been constructed and expressed successfully, and the C3 antibody retained high affinity for EGFR and showed improved inhibitory effect on tumor cell growth and migration.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal, genetic neuromuscular disorders that manifests as progressive muscle wasting. Although there has been enormous progress in the studies of the molecular mechanism of muscular dystrophy, there is still no cure. Cell-based therapy is a promiseful option. This review will focus on the present status of cell-based therapy. Myoblast transfer therapy is hindered by minimal distribution of cells after injection, immune rejection, and poor cell survival. The drawback of bone marrow-derived stem cell transplantation is the low efficiency of transdifferentiation. Compared with them, the injection of postnatal muscle-derived stem cells (MDSC) results in a superior regeneration of dystrophin-expressing myofibers.
