BACKGROUND: Xenograft cortical bone is an easy and inexpensive bone graft material, which has good biocompatibility and bio-mechanical properties. As a bone graft, it can function as biological framework for new bone growth and bio-supporting. Moreover, it can also be processed into internal fixation devices.OBJECTIVE: To review the biological properties, preparation methods and clinical applications of heterogeneous cortical bone for fracture fixation.METHODS: A computer-based online search of Pubmed database (1990-01/2009-05) and CNKI (1990-01/2009-05) was performed for related articles with key words of "Xenograft cortical bone, Bone graft, Fixation" in English and Chinese.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 128 articles were collected. Xenograft cortical bone has a good biological performance, in particular, a certain degree of bio-mechanical properties. It is not only able to complete bone filling, bone induction, but also function as internal fixator following processing. However, the traditional preparation process reduces their bio-mechanical properties. Heterogeneous cortical bone can be widely used in intra-articular fractures and cancellous bone fracture fixation, and can be self-absorbed, avoiding the second operation. However, its instability limits its initial mechanical properties of fractures at other sites.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemic situation of vertical dissemination of the Escherichia coli(ECO) and Klebsiella pneumoniae(KPN) isolates producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in the hospital.METHODS The fingerprints of the isolates were obtained by pulsed-field-gel-electrophoresis(PFGE),and were analyzed with software Quantity One.RESULTS The similarity of 10 isolates and 7 isolates among the 21 ECO(isolates) from ICU was more than 90%,and 100%,respectively;the similarity of 3 KPN isolates was 100%.The similarity of 9 isolates among the 20 ECO(isolates) was more than 90% and the similarity of 4 isolates among the 6 KPN isolates was more than 90% in the neurosurgery ward.The similar coefficients of 3 isolates and 2(isolates)(among) the 10 ECO isolates from the ward for cadre were more than 90% and 100%,(respectively.) The similar(coefficients) of 2 isolates among the 7 ECO isolates from the gastroenterology ward and 2(isolates)(among) the 18 ECO isolates from the respiratory ward were more than 90%.The isolates whose similarity was more than 90% were also found in other wards.CONCLUSIONS There are vertical disseminations of single clone of ESBL-producing organisms in several wards,especially in the ICU.It is necessary to strengthen the management of(infection)-control.

Objective:To study the effects of the modified sandblasting surface treatment on the bone implant interfacial shear strength of titanium dental implant.Methods:Titanium implants with smooth surface or modified sandblasted surface were inserted into femoral medialis condyli of dogs at random.The samples of implant with surrounding bone tissue were prepared in blockes and the shear strength of the interface was measured with Instron electronic pull out tester 2,4 and 12 weeks after operation. The modified sandblasted surface of the implant was observed with SEM and X ray spectroscopy 12 weeks after operation.Results:2 and 12 weeks after implantation the shear strength(MPa) between bone tissue and implants with modified sandblasted surface was 4.28?0.88 and 7.54?0.34 respectively,that between bone tissue and implants with smooth surface 0.09?0.08 and 1.43?0.46 respectively.SEM and X ray spectroscopy observation revealed that the most parts of the sandblasted surface of the implants were covered by bone tissue and bone matrix deposited into the pores created by the acid etching.Conclusion:The rough surface of titanium dental implant created by the modified sandblasting surface treatment can enhance the shear strength between bone tissue and implant.

0.05). Conclude:The bone type may affect the stability of ITI osseointegrated implants.

AIM To get an insight into intracellular signaling steps, a very early step in the signaling cascade, the biphasic Ca 2+ elicited by 5 HT in rat stomach fundus smooth muscle cells was investigated. METHODS Cells were cultured and loaded with Fluo 3 AM. [Ca 2+ ] i was measured by fluorescent intensity (FI) in each cell with confocal microscopy. RESULTS The resting FI level of SFSMC was 264?15. Stimulation of SFSMCs by 5 HT produced an elevation of [Ca 2+ ] i; Depletion of external Ca 2+ by addition of EGTA led to a significant attenuation of [Ca 2+ ] i change induced by 5 HT; Pre treatment of SFSMCs with ryanodine (10 ?mol?L -1 , 5 min) in D Hanks, the effect of 5 HT was completely inhibited; The stimulation of SFSMCs by 5 HT was partly attenuated by miaserin(10 ?mol?L -1 ), however, L type Ca 2+ channel antagonist lacidipine and G protein inhibitor NEM completely abolished the increase of [Ca 2+ ] i mediated by 5 HT; 5 HT mediated Ca 2+ release was reduced by phospholipase C specific inhibitor compound 48/80(1 2 ?g?ml -1 ); When protein kinase C was activated by phorbol 12 myristate 13 acetate (PMA 0 1 ?mol?L -1 , 5 min) the effect of 5 HT was inhibited, and the inhibitory effect of PMA was reversed by D sphingosine, a PKC inhibitor. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that G protein coupled 5 HT 2B receptor in the rat stomach fundus modulates 5 HT stimulated Ca 2+ increase, and it is coupled to calcium influx through L type calcium channels, and also intracellular calcium release by the opening of ryanodine receptor. The 5 HT 2B receptor mediated signal of 5 HT is transduced by PLC and PKC.

Objective To investigate the relationship between activity of plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH)and insulin resistance (IR) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods From Oct. 2006 to Jan. 2008, 105 PCOS patients undergoing treatment in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Second Hospital affiliated to West China University were enrolled in the study, among 53 cases with homeostatic model assessment IR (HOMA-IR) exceed or equal 2.77 as IR-PCOS group and 52 cases with HOMA-IR less than 2.77 as non IR-PCOS group. In the mean time, 53 infertile women due to fallopian tube or husband factors were chosen as control group. Plasma PAF-AH activity, high-density lipoprotein-associated PAF-AH (H-PAF-AH) activity, low-density lipoprotein-associated PAF-AH (L-PAF-AH) activity, the ratio of L-PAF-AH to H-PAF-AH activity were measured and compared among three groups. The method of Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used to study the relationship between the ratio of L-PAF-AH to H-PAF-AH activities and hormonal and metabolic parameters. Results (1) Plasma PAF-AH activity [ (0.055±0.012) mmol· L~(-1)·min~(-1)], L-PAF-AH activity [(0.052±0.012) mmol·L~(-1)·min~(-1)], and the ratio of L-PAF-AH to H-PAF-AH activity (23±6) in the IR-PCOS group were significantly higher than those at control group [(0.050±0.009) mmol·L~(-1) ·min~(-1), (0.047±0.009) mmol·L~(-1)·min~(-1) and (18±4)] and non-IR-PCOS group [(0.050±0.0012) mmol·L~(-1) ·min~(-1), (0.048±0.012) mmol·L~(-1)·min~(-1) and (18± 5 ), P <0.05 ]. The ratio of L-PAF-AH to H-PAF-AH activities at IR-PCOS group was also significantly higher than those at Non IR-PCOS and control group after correction for body mass index (P<0.01). (2) Pearson correlation analysis showed that the ratio of L-PAF-AH to H-PAF-AH in PCOS patients was positively correlated with atherogenic index, age, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, HOMA-IR, triglyceride levels, fasting insulin levels, fasting glucose levels, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol (r=0.644, 0.247, 0.296, 0.212, 0.356, 0.587, 0.377, 0.375, 0.292 and 0.199, respectively, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (r=-0.510, P<0.05). The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that atherogenic index and triglyceride were significant variables for the ratio of L-PAF-AH to H-PAF-AH activity (standardized coefficient, β=0.515 and 0.201, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusion The elvated L-PAF-AH activity may be associated with IR in PCOS patients, and the increased ratio of L-PAF-AH to H-PAF-AH activities may be a potential marker of inflammation in the patients.
