The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in sports is a common knee joint injury.It is widely accepted to reconstruct ACL under arthroscopy with autologous patellar ligament or popliteal ligament fixed in tibial or femoral tunnel with interference screws.Interference screws are widely used as intra-articular fixation devices in ACL reconstruction.The ideal materials for interference screw provide rigid fixation of graft with high mechanical strength,long-lasting stiffness and the bioactivity to stimulate osteointegration and tendon-bone healing.Current interference screws are made of metals and bio-absorbable polymers.Metallic interference screws provide high mechanical strength and stiffness for tendon graft fixation,but require a second surgery for removal.Bioabsorbable interference screws made of polymers avoid second surgery for removal,but have lower mechanical strength and might cause aseprtic inflammation during its degradation as well as screw slip,tunnel enlargement and many other complications.Magnesium (Mg) has been investigated as a novel and potential biomaterials for biodegradable interference screws.Mg is essential nutrient element and has good biocompatibility.Its mechanical strength and related stiffness are much higher than that of biodegradable polymers and are close to cortical bone.Furthermore,the degradation rate of Mg in vivo could be modulated via techniques such as alloying.In previous studies,the relationship between screw design and its pull-out force has been investigated,based on which the design of interference screw is optimized.The mechanical properties (the ultimate load to failure and the related stiffness) of interference screws proved to be higher than that of bioabsorbable interference screws sharing the same design both in vitro and in vivo.Furthermore,Mg performs good biocompatibility without severe intra-articular inflammatory reactions,as well as unique bioactivities to promote osteointegration,mineral deposition and the regeneration of fibrocartilaginous entheses.The present study reviews the researches of Mg interference screws both in vitro and in vivo,gives reference for further research and has great importance for the application of Mg interference screws in ACL reconstruction.

Objective To observe the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with tumor cells reduction and postoperative intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy on the efficacy and quality of life of ovarian cancer.Methods From October 2010 to October 2013 at the Department of gynecology,Taizhou Municipal Hospital,65 cases of ovarian cancer patients for the treatment of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ were randomly divided into intervention group (n =32) and control group (n =33).Patients in the intervention group received neoadjuvant chemotherapy after tumor cell reduction cytoreductive surgery and received postoperative intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy and conventional surgery after chemotherapy.Patients in the control group received conventional tumor cell cytoreductive surgery plus postoperative chemotherapy.Surgical status,the effectiveness of treatment,and adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Moreover,survival quality score,relapse rate,and mortality differences were compared between two groups.Results For the intervention group,operation status and effective treatment were better than the control group.The proportion of adverse reactions had no significant difference between two groups.Survival quality had no statistically significant difference between before treatment and after receiving treatment.Quality of life in the intervention group was better than that of the control group.Relapse rate,and mortality rate in the intervention group was lower than the control group.Conclusions Accepted neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with tumor cytoreductive surgery and surgery after intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy can improve the effectiveness of treatment of ovarian cancers,and improve the quality of life,with better short-term effect.

There is a kind of intrinsic correlation between achievements and age.The average years of age of the scientists awarded the Nobel prizes in five fields are 30.9~33.3.Lots of ancient and modern scientists in many fields are similar to this.Therefore young people are able to make significant achievements,especially innovative achievements.This law is not well cogitated in our country,especially by the young themselves.To understand this law correctly will be of certain inspiration and significance not only for people from different age bracket to make achievement but also beneficial to improving the innovative capability of the whole country.

Objective To measure the cancellous bone contents at different parts of the humeral heads of different ages and genders for data helpful for humeral head fixation.Methods Thirty-six patients with proximal humeral fracture were selected for this study who had been treated at our department with locking proximal humerus plate from June 2008 to April 2010.They were 18 men and 18 women,aged from 20 to 86 years (average,51.6 years).They were grouped according to age:group A ( ＜ 40 years),group B (40 to 60 years),and group C (＞ 60 years).A GE Sensation 16 CT scanner (GE Healtbcare,USA) was used to scan both of their affected and healthy humeral heads preoperation,with slices one mm thick.The bone density of cancellous bone was assessed by the CT value expressed in Hounsfield units.The maximum,minimum,and mean CT values were calculated for the cancellous bone in the humeral head in each image.CT images were processed by computer with custom software (Xiphoid 1.3,Image J 1.4g and Image-Pro Plus 6.0).All the data were analyzed with SPSS16.0.Results We found 4 weak point.s at the cortical bone of proximal humerus,correspondent with the 4 clinic CT types of proximal humeral fracture.The cancellous bone was the densest in the medial humeral head.The mean cancellous bone content was significantly lower in group C than in group A and B( P ＜ 0.05).There was a significant difference between men and women in group A in the BMD of cancellous bone ( t =4.744,P =0.001 ).Conclusions The cancellous bone content in the humeral head is related with age and gender.Since there is more cancellous bone in the medial part than in other parts of the humeral head,it is a reliable part for humeral head fixation.

Objective To report the anatomical study and clinical application of the medial sural artery pertorator flaps. Methods The anatomical study involved 12 fresh adult cadaver lower legs, the arteries of which were perfused with suspensions of lead oxide and gelatine. The bifurcation, location, length, diameter and blood territories of the medial sural artery and its perforating vessels were recorded by dissection, angiography and photography. The integument of the leg was dissected and ridiographed. The tendency of the vessels was analyzed, the surface areas of cutaneous territories and perforator zones were measured and calculated with Photoshop and Scion Image. With the aid of anatomic study, a series of five clinical cases was reported, including five free medial sural flaps for ipsilateral hand reconstruction. Results There was at least one perforating vessel in the medial sural areas of the specimen. A mean of 2.1 perforators was noted over the medial gastrocnemius muscle. The perforating vessels from the medial sural artery clustered about 9 to 18 cm from the popliteal crease, 1 to 5 cm from the posterior medial line. Their diameter was (1.03±0.22)mm at the deep fascial level. The average vascular territory on the sural area was (107.5±23.9)cm2, and the average supplying area of single perforator was (58.3±17.0)cm2. All the transferred free flaps taken in the 5 clinical cases survived uneventfully. All the patients were followed-up from 6 months to 12 months. The appearance of flaps and the function of the limbs were satisfied. Conclusion The standard method for the study of perforator flap is the lead oxide-gelatin technique. It is the anatomic basis that there are perforating musculocutaneous vessels on the medial gastrocnemius muscles constantly. The free medial sural perforator flap has the advantage of good appearance. It is the safe and suitable choice in the cases when a medium or small-sized flap is required for resurfacing hand injuries.

Objective To study the anatomy of superficial palmar digital veins in fingertip,and explore the clinical application of superficial palmar digital veins as venous drainage in fingertip replantation.Methods One hundred fingers were studied with three methods: microanatomy,sectional anatomy,and X-ray.According to microanatomical observation,thirteen fingers in 10 cases with fingertip amputations and dorsal veins defect were replanted by anastomosis of palmar digital veins to reconstruct the venous drainage of the amputated digits. Results ( 1 ) 1 to 3 tiny superficial palmar digital veins can be found at the level of the onychorrhiza.The average diameters of the superficial palmar digital veins were 0.2-0.5 mm.(2)In clinical practice,13 replanted fingers were survived.After 3-18 months following-up,the appearance and function were satisfactory. Conclusion The distribution of the palmar digital veins was in some pattern.Anastomosis of the superficial palmar digital veins can not only improve the success rate of the fingertip replantation,but also avoid the complications of the other venous drainage methods.

Objective To reports to anatomy and clinical application of the medialis pedis perforator flap. Methods The origin, course, distribution and out diameter of medial plantar perforators, which were located at the septums between the abductor hallucis muscle and the flexor digitorum brevis, and between the abductor hallucis muscle and the skeleton, were observed on 10 sides adult feet specimens perfused with red latex. 11 free medialis pedis perforator flaps were transferred for soft-tissue defect in hand. The areas of tissue defect ranged from 2 cm x 2 cm - 9 cmx 4 cm. Results The medial plantar artery sends 2 perforators with regular anatomy through the septum between the abductor hallucis muscle and the flexor digitomm bre-vis, and 2 perforators with regular anatomy through the septum between the abductor hallucis muscle and nav-icluar bone and the medial cuneiform bone. These perforators supply the medial plantar flap and medialis pedis flap respectively. All of the 11 cases of free medialis pedis perforator flap survived uneventfully. The flap areas ranged from 2 cm × 3 cm - 11 cm× 5 cm. The appearance and functional results were satisfactory with following up for 6 to 24 months. Conclusion The free medialis pedis perforator flap is a good method in repairing soft-tissue defect in hand.

BACKGROUND: Coronary angiography is called "the golden standard" for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CAD). Foreshortening of vessel segments in angiographic projection images usually caused by the inappropriate projection angles or positions may lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the optimal angiographic views of main coronary artery and its branches in different somatotype or heart type patients and to investigate the specific relationships between the optimal angiographic views and the different somatotypes and heart types with computer-assisted techniques.DESIGN: A controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University.PARTICIPANTS: Altogether 1 369 patients were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University to undergo coronary angiography from January 2001 to December 2006 and recruited for this study. Written informed consents of coronary angiography were obtained from all the patients. The protocol was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Medical College of Nanchang University.METHODS: All 1 369 inpatients were assigned into 3 groups by body mass index (BMI): fat somatotype group (n =489, BMI: 26-31 kg/m2, transverse heart type), general somatotype group (n =502, BMI: 23-25 kg/m2, general heart type), and thin somatotype group (n =378, BMI: 17-22 kg/m2 vertical heart type). In each group, all arteries including left main coronary artery (LM), proximal segment of the anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), distal-mid segment of LAD, proximal segment of circumflex branch (LCX), distal-mid segment of LCX, proximal-mid and distal segments of right coronary artery (RCA) were properly and carefully analyzed using Compart software, and then we got its optimal angiographic viewing angle. Finally, we arranged these data and induced whether different somatotype group patients have different optimal angiographic viewing angles specifically for some coronary artery or not.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Optimal angiographic viewing angles.RESULTS: All 1369 patients participated in the final analysis. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for LM: left anterior oblique (LAO)(40±5)°/ caudal (CAU)(25±5)° or right left anterior oblique (RAO) 25°/CAU35°. In the fat somatotype group, the angle should be added 10° to its optimal angle, and in the thin somatotype group, the angle should be decreased by 10°, and the differences between the general somatotype group and the fat somatotype group or the thin somatotype group were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Optimal angiographic viewing angle for proximal segment of LAD: RAO (50±8)°/ cranial (CRA)(23±8)°. In the fat somatotype group, the optimal angle should be added 10°, but in the thin somatotype group, it should be decreased by 10°. The differences between the general somatotype group and the fat somatotype group or the thin somatotype group were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Optimal angiographic viewing angle for distal-mid segment of LAD: RAO (40±5)°/CRA (45±5)° or LAO (11±5)°/CRA (45±5)°. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for proximal segment of LCX: LAO (45±5)°/CAU (35±5)° or anteroposterior (AP)/CAU36°. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for distal-mid segmental of LCX: LAO (45±5)°/CAU (35±5)° or RAO (6±4)°/CAU (30±5)°. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for proximal-mid segment of RCA: LAO (35±5)°/CAU (14±5)° or LAO (48±5)°/CRA (15±5)°. For the thin or fat somatotype group, the optimal LAO angle should be increased by 15°, the optimal RAO angle should be decreased by10° for fat somatotype group and should be increased by 10° for thin somatotype group, and the differences between the general somatotype group and the fat somatotype group or the thin somatotype group were statistically significantly (P < 0.05). Optimal angiographic viewing angle for distal segment of RCA: LAO (53±5)°/CAU (17±5)°.CONCLUSION: The message can be got clearly about the whole coronary artery and the accuracy percentage of stenosis by changing angiographic viewing angle regularly to its own optimal angle in different somatotype or heart type patients. It's very important for making the choice of diagnosis and therapy

Objective To evaluate the pulmonary protection of dexmedetomidine in combination with parecoxib in pa?tients undergoing thoracotomy with one-lung ventilation. Methods Eighty patients undergoing elective resection of esopha?geal or lung cancer, including both sex, aged 40-70 yr, ASAⅠ-Ⅲ, were randomly divided into four groups (n=20), dexme?detomidine group (D group), parecoxib group (P group), dexmedetomidine in combination with parecoxib group (DP group) and control group (C group). Dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg was infused in ten minutes and then continued infusion at the rate 0.6μg·kg-1·h-1 until the chest was closed in group D. Parecoxib 40 mg was infused 10 min before the induction of anesthesia in group P. DP group was given parecoxib 40 mg and parecoxib 40 mg 10 min before the induction of anesthesia. The equal volume of normal saline was given in group C. Blood samples were collected for determination of blood gas analysis and the serum concentration of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 immediately after the induction of anes?thesia (T1), 30 min (T2) and 60 min(T3) after one-lung ventilation, and at the end of the operation (T4). Oxygenation index (OI) was calculated. The serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with time T0, the serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 (except IL-8 at the time T2 in DP group) were significantly increased, and OI was decreased in all groups at the time T2-4 (P<0.05). Compared with group C, concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 decreased and OI increased significantly at the time T2-4 in D group, P group and DP group (P<0.05). There were no obvious differences in concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 and OI value between D group and P group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Combination of dexmedetomidine and parecoxib can further mitigate inflammatory response, improve lung oxygenation dur?ing one-lung ventilation, and provide pulmonary protection in patients undergoing thoracotomy.
