Objective To investigate the relationship between the levels of proteoglycan and collagen type Ⅱ in serum and severity of knee osteoarthritis, and to determine whether the two markers could reflect the metabolic changes of cartilage after different knee operations. Methods Serum samples and roentgenographic data of 65 patients with knee osteoarthritis and 22 normal persons in controls were collected. Three different operations were performed for 45 patients respectively. These patients were followed up for half a year. The serum levels of proteoglycan and collagen type Ⅱ epitope were analysed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results Epitope levels of proteoglycan and collagen type Ⅱ in serum of osteoarthritis patients were higher than those in control group. The serum levels of both markers in the group that the roentgenograph show minor narrowing of joint space were highest. Half a year after total knee replacement, the level of proteoglycan decreased significantly(P

Objective To study the effects of intermittent low?dose administration of recombinant human parathyroid hor?mone (1-34) [rhPTH(1-34)] in the expression of Osterix (Osx) during early stage of fracture healing. Methods Forty?eight 2?month old male Sprague?Dawley rats were underwent close unilateral femoral fracture and intramedullary nail fixation. The sub?jects were divided into 2 equal groups randomly:treatment group undergoing subcutaneous injection of rhPTH(1-34) 10 mg/kg/d immediately after the operation and control group undergoing subcutaneous injection of normal saline of the same dose. Six rats in each group were sacrifice at 2, 7, 14, and 21 days after operation. X?ray photography study was conducted at 7, 14 and 21 days. Tissue RNA and protein were extracted from the bone tissues of bilateral femurs and the expression levels of Osx mRNA and pro?tein were evaluated via real time quantitative PCR and Western?blotting. Results Fracture healing was significant at 14 days af?ter operation, and the progress of fracture healing was better in the rhPTH(1-34) group than in the control group at 14 and 21 days. The relative expression of Osx mRNA and protein in the fractured femurs of the rhPTH(1-34) group (5.02±0.5 and 10.03±0.8 for Osx mRNA, 3164.03±131 and 3509.02±126 for protein) at 14 and 21 days after the operation were significantly higher than those of the control group (2.30±0.4 and 4.01±0.7 for Osx mRNA, 1053.04±121 and 2721.03±123 for protein). However, there was no significant difference at 2 and 7 days after operation between the rhPTH(1-34) and control group. Conclusion Intermittent low?dose administration of rhPTH(1-34) up?regulates the expression levels of osteogenesis?specific Osx mRNA and protein in rats. It will accelerate the early phase of fracture healing process.

【Objective】 To investigate the factors affecting the quality of cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor. 【Methods】 The quality test results of cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor in Xuzhou Central Blood Station from 2017 to 2020 were selected and compared. The fresh frozen plasma (FFP) was stratifying by storage time following whole blood collection: less than 2h, 2~4 h, 4~6 h, and 6~8 h; by gender: males and females; by blood group: A, B, O, and AB groups; by age: 18~30, 30~45, and 45~60 ages; by preparation method: centrifugation and siphonage. The contents of fibrinogen (FIB) and factor Ⅷ in cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor in each group were compared. 【Results】 The content of FIB and factor Ⅷ in females were higher than those in males(P<0.05). The content of factor Ⅷ differed statically by blood groups (P<0.05), which was lower in group O than others [graup A(180.5±75.2)IU, graup B(155.1±59.4)IU, graup O(109.3±46.4)IU, graup AB(168.5±65.1)IU]. The content of factor Ⅷ increased with age statistically (P<0.05). The content of FIB prepared by centrifugation [(373.3±126.1)mg] was superior to siphonage [(309.4±85.6)mg] (P<0.05), while the content of factor Ⅷ prepared by siphonage [(172.4±71.3)IU] was superior to centrifugation [(124.0±49.1)mg] (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Gender and preparation method are the influencing factors of FIB. Gender, age, blood group and preparation method are the influencing factors of the content of factor Ⅷ. The FFP prepared by whole blood preserved with the ACD (citrate, sodium citrate and glucose) solution at any time within 8h after the collection has no impact on the quality of cryoprecipitated antihemophilic factor.

Objective To understand the cognition and attitude of patients, medical staff and medical examination people on biobanks and their willingness to donation. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 452 individuals, including patients, medical staff and people receiving health checkup at a hospital in Beijing from July to September, 2017. The questionnaire assessed the respondents′demographic data, general knowledge about biobanking and the factors influencing their willingness to donate specimens to biobanks. Pearson′s Chi-square test, student t test or ANOVA were used for univariate analysis. Additionally, the linear regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were used for multivariate analyses. Results A total of 452 questionnaires were delivered, and the effective questionnaires amounted to 440, including 196 medical staff, 123 patients and 121 health checkup individuals. The awareness score of biobanks was significantly different among the medical staff, patients and health checkup individuals ( P < 0. 05 ) . After adjustment for potential risk factors, we found that the population characteristics and the experience of participation in a medical research were the independent beneficial factors of the awareness score. The percentage of the willingness of donation in medical staff, health checkup individuals and patients were 83. 7%, 76. 9% and 70. 7%, respectively. The results of univariate analyses suggested that the population characteristics, education level, health conditions, the history of blood donation, and the experience of participation in a medical research were significantly associated with the willingness to donate ( all P <0. 05 ) . Population characteristics and health conditions were independently relevant to the willingness of donation, after multivariate analyses of logistic regression. Conclusions Despite the strong willingness to donate biospecimens, patients and health checkup individuals lack knowledge of biobanking. It is apparent that we need to strengthen promotions and to encourage the ethics and humanities to improve the knowledge of biosample donation, for healthy development of hospital-based biobanks.

Objective:
To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics, immunophenotypes, molecular genetics, and diagnostic and differential diagnostic features of biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS).
Methods:
Three cases of BSNS were retrieved, the histomorphology, immunophenotype and molecular genetics were analyzed with review of literature.
Results:
There were 2 male and 1 female patient aged 45, 29 and 40 years, respectively.Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations showed a large polypoid mass occupying the sinonasal cavity in all 3 patients. Microscopically, these tumors were un-circumscribed and composed of cellular spindle-shaped cells arranged in long and interlaced fascicles. A hemangiopericytoma-like growth pattern was frequently identified. The overlying hyperplastic respiratory epithelium invaginated down into the tumor forming a cystic (2 cases), glandular (1 case) structures and inverted in a papilloma-like (1 case)pattern, and foci of eosinophilic metaplasia were also noted in 2 of the three cases. The tumor nuclei were bland-appearing, mitoses were scarce and necrosis was absent. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed co-expression of neural and myogenic markers in all the 3 cases, including that 3/3 showed diffuse and strong positivity of S-100 protein, 3/3 positivity of smooth muscle actin (1 diffuse and 2 focal), 1/2 diffuse positivity of calponin, 1/3 focal positivity of desmin, and 1/1 focal positivity of MyoD1.In addition, 1 detected for β-catenin showed focal nuclear positivity. None of the 3 showed positivity to cytokeratin, CD34 or SOX10 in the tumor cells.Ki-67 showed an index <5%, 10% and <2%, respectively. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed rearrangements of PAX3 gene in all 3 cases. In case 3, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, followed by Sanger sequencing, demonstrated an in-frame fusion between PAX3 and FOXO1.Follow-up information (range 3-15 months)showed no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis in three cases.
Conclusions
BSNS is a newly described entity which can be readily confused with a variety of benign and malignant spindle cell tumors encountered in the sinonasal cavity; immunohistochemistry co-expression of neural and myogenic markers and PAX3 gene rearrangement can help distinguish this tumor from its many mimickers.
