BACKGROUND:Alcohol has become pathogenic factors of avascular necrosis, and the alcohol induced
abnormal lipid metabolism in bone marrow may be the important reason for the onset of avascular necrosis, but the mechanism is not clear yet.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the changes of structure and function of fat cel s under the action of alcohol, in order to analyze the pathogenesis of alcoholic femoral head necrosis.
METHODS:Primary adipocytes in vitro culture technique was used to obtain rabbit femoral head intramedul ary adipose tissue, and then the fat cel s were separated, and the phenotype was identified with oil red O staining. The passaged stable intramedul ary fat cel s were col ected. Coverslip was cut into 1 cm × 1 cm in size, and placed in the 24-wel culture plate before planting. The cel s were randomly divided into alcohol group and control group, 24 holes (each hole for a sample) in each group. The control group was without alcohol, while the alcohol group was added with 0.15 mol/L alcohol. At 4, 6, 8 and 10 days, the culture medium was replaced. Medium was changed and no longer adding alcohol, and then cultured for 10 days. When the culture terminated, the coverslip was removed for oil red O staining. Final y, the morphology and the number of the fat cel s were observed under light
microscope.
RESUTLS AND CONCLUSION:With time prolonging, the number of fat cel s in the alcohol group was significantly more than that in the control group (P<0.001). The lipid droplets in the two groups were gradual y increased and enlarged, but more significant in the alcohol group. The number of intramedul ary fat cel s in the alcohol group after cultured for 4, 6, 8 and 10 days was respectively (200.90±24.60), (1 102.30±76.73), (1 160.30±28.37) and (1 199.70±44.74)/cm2;the
number of intramedul ary fat cel s in the control group was respectively (99.80±10.82), (0.40±94.71), (1 000.20± 41.85) and (1 059.80±26.79)/cm2, the number of fat cel s increased with the time of alcohol influence. Alcohol can promote the intramedul ary fat cel s to increase and enlarge, and this may be the main reason for femoral head necrosis, as long-term alcoholism can lead to bone marrow fat tissue increasing, intraosseous pressure increasing and perfusion reducing, thus resulting ischemia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of microscopic myringoplasty versus endoscopic myringoplasty in the treatment of tympanic membrane perforation caused by chronic suppurative otitis media. Methods:The clinical data of 91 patients with tympanic membrane perforation caused by chronic suppurative otitis media who received treatment in Jiaxing Second Hospital, China between February 2017 and March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into a control group ( n = 45) and an observation group ( n = 46) according to different surgery methods. The control group was given microscopic tympanoplasty, while the observation group was given endoscopic tympanoplasty under the otoendoscope. Results:Blood loss in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(7.2 ± 2.0) mL vs. (13.7 ± 3.1) mL, t = 11.912, P < 0.001]. Operation time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(59.4 ± 5.4) min vs. (91.5 ± 11.2) min, t = 17.474, P < 0.001]. Postoperative pain score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(2.9 ± 0.7) points vs. (4.8 ± 1.3) points, t = 8.707, P < 0.001]. Hospital stay in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(4.3 ± 1.0) d vs. (6.5 ± 1.5) d, t = 8.249, P < 0.001]. Pure tone hearing thresholds at 1, 2 and 4 kHz frequencies in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction regarding the aesthetic effect of the surgical incision in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [97.8% (45/46) vs. 77.8% (35/45), χ2 = 8.604, P = 0.003]. Conclusion:Endoscopic myringoplasty has the advantages including shorter operation time, less blood loss, lower degree of pain, better hearing improvement and higher patient satisfaction over microscopic myringoplasty in the treatment of tympanic membrane perforation caused by chronic suppurative otitis media.

BACKGROUND: With the development of nanotechnology, a new system for the delivery of drugs by magnetic nanovectors has been proposed. Within a magnetic field, the system can implement site-specific drug administration, thereby raising drug concentration at the lesion focus, elevate therapeutic effects, and reduce side effects.OBJECTIVE: To study the preparation of magnetic poly D, L-lactide-co-glycolic acid phenylarsine oxide nanoparticles (M-PLGA-PAO-NPs) and to evaluate characteristics of the prepared nanoparticles.DESIGN: Several factors influencing nanoparticle characteristics were selected for single-factor tests. Then, according to experimental results, and in conjunction with orthogonally designed statistics, the optimized prescription was obtained. SETTING: Department of Special Diagnosis, Changhai Hospital, Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The study was performed at the Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from January 2005 to March 2006. The reagents used were as follows: phenylarsine oxide (Sigma, USA), poly D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid (Shandong Medical Apparatus Institute, China), ferroso-ferric oxide (nanometer, Sigma, USA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA1788, Beijing Organic Chemical Industry Plant, China). Methylene dichloride and other agents were all analytical grade and purchased from Shanghai Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd, China.METHODS: M-PLGA-PAO-NPs were prepared through an emulsion-evaporation process. Nanoparticle shape was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Magnetism was determined by a vibrating sample magnetometer. The size and diametral distribution of nanoparticles were determined by a laser particle size analyzer. The encapsulation ratio and drug loading of phenylarsine were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The percentage of phenylarsine oxide release in vitro was calculated [the percentage of phenylarsine oxide release in vitro =(total dose of phenylarsine oxide-residual dose of phenylarsine oxide)/ total dose of phenylarsine oxide].MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The shape, size, drug loading, encapsulation ratio and release in vitro of M-PLGA-PAO-NPs.RESULTS: The prepared nanoparticles had an average encapsulation ratio of 34.2%. Drug loading of 5 batches of nanoparticles was 3.06%, 3.15%, 3.18%, 3.21%, and 3.41%, respectively, with an average drug loading of 3.20%. Drug loading difference was small between batches, indicating good stability and reproducibility of the technology. M-PLGA-PAO-NPs were spherical, smooth, evenly distributed and non-adhesive. Ferrosoferric oxide microparticles, which exhibited unevenly dispersed black opacities, were found in the magnetic microparticles. Nanoparticles were in a narrow size range, with an average diameter of 290 nm (range 140-500 nm). When the magnitude and the direction of the outside magnetic field were changed, nanoparticles showed different intensities of magnetization. This indicated that M-PLGA-PAO-NPs had a certain magnetic response. The in vitro nanoparticle-release curve indicated that drug release was initially fast followed by a slow controlled release, and on day 8, it was basically stable.CONCLUSION:The experiment acquires a satisfactory technique for preparation of M-PLGA-PAO-NPs. The prepared M-PLGA-PAO-NPs were well targeted and exhibited slowly controlled drug release effects.
