AIM:Titanium-Nickel shape memory alloy(TiNi-SMA) has memory,abradability and good biocompatibility. It has different osteotomy methods and biomechanics from routine distraction osteogenesis. In this study,the dog models of mandibular defects were established to explore the effect of TiNi-SMA distractor with different osteotomy methods on mandibular distraction osteogenesis. METHODS:The experiment was performed at the animal experimental center of Sun Yat-sen University from October to December 2005. ①Eight male adult Beagle canines of 12-14 kg were selected. A 1.5 cm?1.0 cm bone defect was made in bilateral mandible of each dog. The same size transport bone disc was created mesially by osteotomy on left side and corticotomy on right side. TiNi-SMA distractor was implanted to repair defect. ②One,four,and seven days,and nine weeks after operation,the canines were radiographed for histological analysis and bone formation was observed. RESULTS:Eight dogs were all included in the final analysis. ①Gross observation found the wounds healed well without infection in all experiment dogs. ②X-ray examination showed the bone transport disc on the right side of corticotomy moved to defect area gradually after operation and filled defect area on the whole on the 7th day after operation;The bone transport disc dislocated 1 day after operation and separated from defect area totally on the 7th day after operation on the side of osteotomy(left side). ③ Histological examination demonstrated bone formed in accordance with intramembranous ossification in distraction zone and bony connection between the transport disc and mesial mandible on right side;On the left side,there was a big defect at the area of both distraction and defect zone because of dislocated bone transport disc,and no obvious new bone regeneration was found. CONCLUSION:Corticotomy can be used to establish a successfully canine model of mandibular distraction osteogenesis.

Objective To investigate the effect of individualized therapeutic programs with combination of interferon and ribavirin (RBV) in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and study the influential factors of virological response rates.Methods A total of 139 patients with CHC were enrolled and given the intensive treatment doses of interferon and RBV according to their basic clinical condition.At the treatment of 0,4,12,24 weeks,the end of treatment and 24 weeks after treatment stop,the serum HCV RNA was determined.Timely adjustment to dosage and time periods was made according to the virological response to treatment,and the predictive value of rapid virological response (RVR) and complete early virological response (cEVR) for sustained virological response (SVR) were analyzed.Results At the 4th week of treatment,the level of serum HCV RNA was monitored in 120 patients,and 84.2％ (101/120) of patients obtained RVR; among them,90.7％ (88/97) obtained SVR.The virus load of patients obtained RVR at pretherapy was lower than that of patients didn't obtained RVR [(5.883±1.246) lg copies/ml vs (6.502±0.693)lg copies/ml,P =0.034].The RVR rate of initial treatment patients with PEG-IFNα-2a [87.8％(79/90)]was significantly higher than that of retreatment patients with PEG-IFNα-2a [65.0％ (13/20)](P =0.031).At the 12th week of treatment,the level of serum HCV RNA was monitored in 132 patients,and 92.4％ (122/132) of patients obtained cEVR; among them,90.8％ (108/119) obtained SVR.The SVR rate of patients obtained cEVR was significantly higher than that of patients didn't obtained cEVR (5/9) (P =0.007).There was no significant difference between the cEVR rate of initial treatment patients [94.7％ (90/95)]and retreatment patients [85％ (17/20)]with PEG-IFNα-2a (P =0.158).Conclusions cEVR was predictor of SVR.Individualized therapy can increase the obtaining probability of RVR,cEVR and SVR.Adjusting drug dose timely and extending treatment period of HCV RNA-negative based on virological response to treatment are important in CHC individualized therapy.

Objective To investigate the expression of Muc1,Muc3A and Muc4 in cultured intrahepatic bile duct(IBD)tissues from different hepatic segments after cold preservation.Methods The IBD tissues of SD rats were obtained by collagen perfusion combining mechanical separation and then were divided into large and small IBD.The 2 parts of IBD were seeded in rat tail collagen gel and were cultured for 48 hours,then the IBD tissues from 10 rats were stored in UW solution at 4℃ for 1 hour(group I,n=5)and 12 hours(group Ⅱ,n=5),respectively,and the IBD tissues from the rest 5 rats were cultured in incubator at 37℃ for 24 hours (control group,n=5).The expressions of Muc1,Muc3A and Muc4 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.All data were analysed via ANOVA or LSD test.Results The expressions of Muc1,Muc3 A and Muc4 were detected both in large and small IBD tissues.The mRNA expressions of Muc1,Muc3A and Muc4 were decreased in large IBD as time passed by,which were 0.95±0.14,0.26±0.04 and 0.24±0.06 in group Ⅰ,0.18±0.03,0.14±0.04 and 0.22±0.07 in group Ⅱ,1.00±0.20,1.00±0.09 and 1.00±0.21 in control group,with significant difference among the 3 groups(F=8.8,57.1,10.8,P＜0.05).The mRNA expressions of Muc1 and Muc3A in group Ⅱ were significantly lower than in group Ⅰ(P＜0.05).The protein expressions of Muc1 and Mue3A in large IBD were also decreased as time passed by,which were 0.82±0.13,0.73±0.10 in group Ⅰ,0.56±0.11,0.33±0.04 in group Ⅱ,1.05±0.41,1.06±0.38 in control group,with significant difference among the 3 groups(F=3.9,12.6,P＜0.05).The protein expression of Muc1 of group Ⅱ was significantly lower than in control group(P＜0.05),and the protein expression of Muc4 in group Ⅱ was significantly lower than in group Ⅰ(P＜0.05).The mRNA expressions of Muc3A in small IBD were increased as time passed by,which were 0.15±0.04 in group Ⅰ,0.19±0.05 in group Ⅱ and 0.06±0.03 in control group.Conclusion Decreases of Muc1,Muc3A and Muc4 in IBD after long time cold preservation may weaken the selfprotection of biliary epithelium and case sever injury to bile duct.

Objective To explore the effect of TGF-β microbubble targeting on the treatment of skeletal muscle injury in rats.MethodsEighty SD rats of 2 months old were randomly divided into experimental group(including TGF-β microbubble),pure drug group,microbubble group(exclusive drug) and control group,20 SD rats in each group.Four groups accepted ultrasonic transmission with consistent time and frequency.The contraction stress and stress relaxation of injured gastrocnemius muscle were measured,the changes of injured gastrocnemius muscle were observed by light microscope and electron microscope.Results There was no statistically significant difference in contraction stress of gastrocnemius muscle among all groups at 1,5,9 days after injury(P>0.05).And at 14 days,the contraction stress of gastrocnemius muscle of the experimental group and the pure drug group were obviously higher than those of the rest two groups,the differences were significant(P<0.05).The difference of gastrocnemius muscle contraction stress was statistically significant between the experimental group and the pure drug group(P<0.05).For the stress relaxation of gastrocnemius muscle,the experimental group was lower than the other three groups at 1 day after injury,the differences were significant(P<0.05).Light microscopy showed the number of muscle fiber in the experimental group increased obviously at 9 days after injury.There was no scarring at 14 days after injury.Electron microscope showed mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum increased in the experimental group,and the new muscle cells and satellite cells were significantly more than those of the rest three groups.Conclusion TGF-β cell targeted therapy can obviously improve the shrinkage stress of skeletal muscle in rats after injury and recover the stress decay,which can obviously promote the injury repair and regeneration of skeletal muscle,and reduce scar formation at the same time.

Objective To report the anatomical study and clinical application of the vascularized composite fibula perforating osteoseptocutaneous flap. Methods Latex injection studies were performed on 24 adult cadaveric lower limbs. The presence, prevalence, and location of the peronel artery and its perforators in the distal leg were documented. 16 vascularized fibul osteoseptocutaneous flaps were performed for reconstruction of composite soft-tissue defect of limbs. The flap areas ranged from 6 cm×4 cm to 16 cm× 8 cm. Results A mean of 5.3 perforating vessels of the peroneal artery was noted in the specimen. 40.6% of them were muscularcutanous perforators, and the other were septacutanous perforators. The perforating vessels were all located within 3.1 cm from the postlateral fibula. The average diameter was 1.1 mm at the deep fascial level, and the interval of them was 4-8 cm. There were two constant perforators which located about 15-25 cm and 4-7 cm from the lateral maleolar respectively. All of the 16 clinical cases survived uneventfully and the time to union of the graft-host junction site were 3 to 5 months. The appearance of flaps and the function of the limbs were satisfied during 10 to 36 months following up. Conclusion It is the anatomic basis that there are pedorating vessels of the peroneal constantly. The vnscularized compound fibula perforating osteoseptocutaneous flap has the advantage of flexible design. It is the safe and suitable choice in the cases when compound bone and soft tissue defects of the limbs are required for reconstruction.
