BACKGROUND:A favorable application prospect has been showed in basic and clinical research of porous material implantation in recent years. OBJECTIVE:To retrospect the progress in basic and clinical research of porous materials in the past 10 years and to summarize the existing problems and clinical prospects. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed and CNKI databases was performed for relevant articles using the keywords of“porous material, bone implantation”in English and Chinese, respectively. The included articles were related to porous materials and composite materials used in vitro, in vivo or in clinic, as wel as porous materials closely related with bone defect repair or bone tissue engineering. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hydroxyapatite, titamium and its al oys, polyethylene, calcium phosphates are porous materials that have been studied presently. Increasing experimental studies have shown that the porous materials have good histocompatibility and osteoinductive features in vitro and in vivo. But the uniform standards for porosity size in favor of tissue growth that is fastest and most effective have not been obtained. It is unclear how to gain and control the porosity of porous materials that are irregular, how to control the elasticity modulus, and how to gain 100%porosity effectively. Furthermore, whether the inflammation and exposure of porous materials in clinical application are related to the above-mentioned problems are unable to confirm.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of ~(18)F-FDG PET-CT fusion imaging in hepatocellular carcinoma after transcatheter arterial chemoembolizationTACE)with lipiodol. Methods 15 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma diameter 4～10 cm) were investigated with ~(18)F-FDG PET-CT imaging within three months after TACE. The findings of imaging were compared with the results of anteriography and clinical follow-up.Results After TACE, regions of absent~(18)F-FDG uptakes could be found in all 15 patients. Increased ~(18)F-FDG uptakes could be found in liver of 11 cases. The other 4 patients had no increased~(18)F-FDG uptakes in liver. The regions of increased ~(18)F-FDG uptakes were residual viable tumor confirmed by anteriography and clinical follow-up , and most of them locate around region of absent ~(18) F-FDG uptakes.~(18)F-FDG PET-CT fusion imaging showed that there were no correlation between increased ~(18)F-FDG uptakes and lipiodol dense distribution. After another TACE given or radiotherapy based on ~(18)F-FDG PET-CT fusion imaging, the areas of increased ~(18)F-FDG uptakes reduced or disappeared. In 4 patients without Increased ~(18)F-FDG uptakes ,DSA showed that there were still viable tumor in the peripheral zone of tumor.Conclusion Residual viable tumor can still be found in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after TACE.~(18)F-FDG PET-CT imaging can characterize and locate the most residual viable tumor, monitor response and be a guide in following therapy, but some viable tumor can not be found by ~(18)F-FDG PET-CT imaging.

Objective To compare the effect of underwater treadmill training (UWTT), body weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) and conventional gait training (CGT) for walking ability and balance function in hemiplegic patients after stroke. Methods 43 patients were divided into CGT group (n=14), BWSTT group (n=13) and UWTT group (n=16). Based on conventional gait training, the UWTT group and BWSTT group respectively accepted UWTT and BWSTT for 4 weeks. They were assessed with Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), maximum walking speed (MWS), 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and dynamic balance function and static balance function with Active Balancer before and after training. Results All the patients improved in all items after training (P<0.05), while the UWTT group improved more in the 6MWT and balance function items than the BWSTT group (P<0.05). Conclusion UWTT is more effective for hemiplegic patients after stroke in walking ability and balance function than BWSTT.

Objective:To analyze the early changes of gene expression levels and signaling pathways in 661W cell line under hypoxic conditions and to find potential functional target genes.Methods:The cultured mouse 661W cells were divided into hypoxia treatment group and normoxia control group. Cells in the hypoxia treatment group were cultured in a three-gas incubator with volume fraction of 1% and 5% CO 2 at 37 ℃. Cells in the normoxia control group were cultured in an incubator at 37 ℃ with volume fraction of 5% CO 2. High-throughput sequencing technology was used to sequence the transcriptome of 661W cell treated with hypoxia and normoxia for 4 hours to screen for differentially expressed genes (DEG). Clustering heat map analysis, gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction network (PPI) analysis were performed. The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to verify the accuracy of the sequencing results. Results:A total of 506 differentially expressed genes were screened, including 459 up-regulated genes and 47 down-regulated genes. GO functional enrichment analysis showed that the main biological processes of DEG were the cell's response to hypoxia, glycolysis, negative regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis. hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α pathway, glycolysis, Forkhead box O (FoxO) pathway, Insulin signaling pathway and Adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway were involved in the above process. PPI analysis results showed that hub genes related to hypoxia were Aldoa, Aldoc, Gpi1, Hk2, Hk1, Pfkl, Pfkp, Vhl, Fbxo10 and Fbxo27. The RT-PCR results showed that the relative expression levels of 15 DEG mRNA in the hypoxic treatment group were higher than that of the normoxic control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The mRNA expression levels of N-myc downstream-regulated gene-1 ( Ndrg1 ), Mt1, and vascular endothelial growth factor A ( VEGFA) were time-dependent on hypoxia. Conclusions:Under hypoxia, DEG is mainly related to glucose metabolism, cell response to hypoxia, regulation of proliferation and apoptosis. HIF-1α pathway, glycolysis, FoxO pathway and AMPK pathway are involved in the early changes of 661W cells under hypoxia. Aldoa, Aldoc, Gpi1, Hk2, Hk1, Pfkl, Pfkp, Vhl, Fbxo10, Fbxo27 may play key roles in the response of 661W cells to hypoxia. Ndrg1, Mt1 and VEGFA could be potential functional target genes for the study of ischemia and hypoxia-related fundus diseases.

Objective To investigate the effect of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in increasing the accuracy and detection rate of chromosome aneuploid from spontaneous abortion specimens.Methods Chromosome 13,21,16 and 22 single sequence probes and centromere probes of 18,X and Y chromosome probes were used to detect 100 cases of spontaneous abortion villi samples.The results were compared with conventional karyotype analysis.Results (1) Karyotype analysis:Among 89 successfully cultured villi samples,51 abnormal karyotypes (57.3％) were found,including 37 cases of autosomal aneuploidies,four sex chromosome aneuploidies,two triploids,one tetraploid,one 68,XX and six chromosome structural aberrations.(2) FISH:The detection rate of abnormal karyotype was 38.0％ (38/100),among which 25 cases were autosomal aneuploidies,five sex chromosome aneuploidies,three triploids,four XX chimeras and one triploid in chromosome 13,16,18 and 21.(3) Comparison of the two methods:Among the 11 samples which failed by conventional method,FISH found two abnormal samples.In specimens of 46,XY,three cases showed mosaicism by FISH.In specimens of 46,XX,two cases showed chromosomal abnormalities by FISH.FISH detected overall 65.5％ (38/58) of the chromosomal abnormalities.Conclusions FISH combined with conventional chromosome analysis could improve the accuracy and detection rate of abnormal karyotypes in spontaneous abortion specimens.

Objective To explore the value of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (i8 F-FDG) PET/CT examination in the differential diagnosis of the gastric cancer and primary gastric lymphoma (PGL).Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with gastric cancer (60 with non-mucinous adenocarcinoma and 20 with mucinous adenocarcinoma) and 47 patients with PGL [22 with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) and 25 with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)] who were admitted to the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from June 2006 to May 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Spiral CT scan was first done and then followed by PET.The CT value of the lesions,maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of patients and maximal gastrointestinal wall thickness (THKmax) were analyzed by the ANOVA test.The SUVmax comparison between groups was evaluated with the Student-Newman-Keuls.The lesions type was analyzed by the chi-square test.The THKmax and SUVmax among groups were analyzed by the Pearson correlation analysis.Results 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging of patients with gastric cancer and PGL showed different types of gastric wall thickening,segmental and limited thickening of gastric wall were the main features of gastric cancer and diffuse and segmental thickening of gastric wall were the main features of PGL.The type Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ of lesions were detected in 12,21 and 27 of 60 patients with nonmucinous adenocarcinoma,in 2,7 and 11 of 20 patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma,in 8,8 and 6 of 22 patients with MALT and in 13,7 and 5 of 25 patients with DLBCL respectively.There were significant differences in the 4 pathological types of lesions among all the patients (x2 =14.849,P ＜ 0.05).The lymph nodes beneath the renal hilum and at the retroperitoneum were involved in 16 patients with gastric cancer and in 10 patients with PGL,and 7 patients with gastric cancer and 12 patients with PGL were complicated with splenomegalia,respectively,showing a significant difference in the splenomegalia between patients with PGL and gastric cancer (x2=7.506,P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the metastasis of lymph nodes beneath the renal hilum and at the retroperitoneum between patients with PGL and gastric cancer (x2=0.178,P ＞0.05).Among 80 patients with gastric cancer,positive 18F-FDG was detected in 79 patients and negative 18F-FDG in 1 patient with T3 stage of mucinous adenocarcinoma.Among 47 patients with PGL,positive 18 F-FDG was detected in 46 patients and negative 18F-FDG in 1 patient with stage Ⅰ of MALT.The CT value of the lesion,SUVmax and THKmax in patients with non-mucinous adenocarcinoma,mucinous adenocarcinoma,MALT and DLBCL were (40 ± 8)HU,(39±11)HU,(41±11)HU,(38±9)HU and 9.9 ±6.6,5.6±1.9,4.6 ±2.9,18.3±7.6 and (2.1 ± 1.2) cm,(1.9 ± 0.9) cm,(1.3 ± 1.1) cm and (2.6 ± 1.5) cm,respectively,showing significant differences in the SUVmax among all the groups (F =26.920,P ＜ 0.05).In the pairwise comparisons,there were no significant difference between the MALT group and mucinous adenocarcinoma group (P ＞ 0.05),and significant differences among the other groups (P ＜ 0.05).The CT value of the lesions and THKmax among all the patients were compared,with no significant differences (F =0.578,4.510,P ＞ 0.05).There were no significant differences in the SUVmax and THKmax among all the patients (r =0.055,0.346,0.226,0.133,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions There is an important diagnosis value of PET/CT examination in patients with gastric cancer and PGL.The pathological types of the lesions in patients with gastric cancer and PGL are different.The occurrence of splenomegalia in patients with PGL is easier than that with gastric cancer.SUVmax of patients with DLBCL is higher than those with gastric cancer and MALT.FDG uptake in patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma and MALT are not enough,and these may lead to false negative result of PET/CT examination.

Objective To compare the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic splenectomy and esophagogastric devascularization (LS + ED) versus open splenectomy and esophagogastric devascularization (OS + ED) in treating portal hypertension using Meta-analysis.Methods Controlled trials comparing LS + ED and OS + ED in treating portal hypertension were electronically searched from Wan Fang Data Knowledge Service Platform,Medalink,CNKI,PubMed,Elsevier,SpringerLink and CBM disc.The most recent search was conducted in April 2015.All the relevant data and references were retrieved and screened.RevMan 5.2 was used for data analysis.Results Eventually,7 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or high-quality case-controlled studies involving 468 patients were included into this study.Meta-analysis showed LS reduced blood loss [WMD =214.67,95％ CI 198.74-230.60,P ＜ 0.01],shortened flatus time [WMD =17.72,95％ CI 12.39-23.04,P ＜ 0.01] and postoperative hospital stay [WMD =3.75,95％ CI 3.28-4.23,P ＜ 0.01],while the duration of surgery was shorter in OS (P ＞ 0.05).However,OS was comparable with LS in complication rates.Conclusions Comparing with OS,LS had the advantages of reducing intraoperative blood loss and shortening recovery time after operation.In patients with cirrhosis,portal hypertension and esophageal varices,laparoscopic splenectomy was safe and effective.

Objective A method was established for genotyping of hepatitis B virus (HBV A-D genotype),based on the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) created by Hinf Ⅰ,Ear Ⅰ,Apo Ⅰ action on an amplified segment of the S region.Methods Clinical diagnosis research.One hundred and twenty-eight HBV S sequences obtained from GeneBank were analyzed for restriction enzyme sites that would be genotype-specific.Restriction patterns following digestion with restriction enzymes Hif Ⅰ,Ear Ⅰ,Apo Ⅰ were determined to identify A-D HBV genotypes.The method was used to detect the HBV genotype of fifty severe hepatitis patients due to chronic hepatitis B in China.Then the detection results were confirmed by direct sequencing.Results The new genotyping method was established,named simple PCR-RFLP,which could identify HBV genotypes A to D.Genotypes B,C,B/C and A or D could be determined by a single step digestion with Hif Ⅰ.Eight patients of genotype A/B/C classified by single step digestion with Hif Ⅰ were conformed as genotype B variant by further digestion and direct sequencing.Extracted randomly and diluted into different concentration,three specimens were tested for genotype of HBV repeatedly and respectively.The results were all in accord with the originals,and the lowest detection limit of HBV DNA was 7 ～ 9 IU/ml.This was particularly useful in China where genotypes B and C were predominant.Twenty-three of genotype B and ten genotype C patients were classified from these fifty severe hepatitis B patients by a single step digestion with Hif Ⅰ through the simple PCR-RFLP method.The same results were also obtained by direct sequencing of PCR products (Kappa =1.00,P =0.001).The simple PCR-RFLP method was superior to direct sequencing in detecting HBV B/C polyinfection (9 cases and 0 case; x2 =18.00,P =0.001).Conclusions Both the sensitivity and repetitiveness of Simple PCR-RFLP method are satisfactory.It is superior to direct sequencing in detecting HBV B/C polyinfection,and simple,convenient.
