Homocysteine ( Hcy) is an independent risk factor for a variety of diseases and closely related to cardiac-cerebralvascu-lar diseases, neurological diseases, diabetes and diabetic com-plications. High homocysteine levels can significantly increase the recurrence risks of cardiac-cerebralvascular events and stroke in patients with stroke, leading to high all-cause mortality. The risk of Alzheimer’s disease is increased by 1. 8 fold when the concentration of Hcy is over 14 μmol·L-1 . For each 5 μmol· L-1 increase in plasma Hcy in diabetes patients, the mortality rate increases by 5 fold in the next five years. High Hcy triggers the pathogenesis of diseases via multiple mechanisms including oxidative stress, lesions of vascular endothelial cells, prolifera-tion of vascular smooth muscle cells, dysfunction of coagulation and lipid metabolism and genomic hypomethylation etc.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been widely performed for patients with various genetic and acquired malignant and non-malignant diseases.Central nervous system (CNS) complications are considered an important cause of morbidity and mortality after HSCT.This review discuss the main causes of CNS after HSCT such as infection,drug toxicity,graft-versus-host disease,metabolic encephalopathy,neurologic relapses etc,so as to benefit the early recognition of CNS complications and to improve the prognosis of patients after HSCT.

BACKGROUND: The improvement in production technology of new materials including artificial ligament reduces material rupture caused by fatigue and histocompatibility-related synovitis and other complications, leading to a wide application of artificial ligament. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the histocompatibility and clinical curative effects of reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee with ligament advanced reinforcement system (LARS) artificial ligament using arthroscopy. DESIGN: A completely randomized clinical design. SETTING: Department of Orthopedics, Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-two cases of ACL injury received LARS artificial ligament in the Department of Orthopedics, Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University From June 2005 to June 2006 and were recruited for this study. The 32 patients averaged 21 years old and were injured in sports. Prior to surgery, MRI showed injury to ACL and semilunar valve in all patients. Written informed consent for therapeutic contents was obtained from each patient. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with injury to ACL of the knee underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. LARS was used to reconstruct the ACL. The LARS was produced by Laboratoire d'Application et de Recherche Scientifique, France (Certification No. CE0459, 1SO9002-EN46002). Artificial ligament was made of polyethylene terephthalate, which had the material type L021201 (left knee) and L021202 (right knee). Artificial ligament was designed to imitate the anatomic structure and biomechanical principle of artificial ligament with specification No. AC120 2BL(left knee) and No. AC120 2BR(right knee). The lot number for artificial ligament in China [import 03460468 (in 2004)]. All reconstructions were performed by a group of physicians who have worked for more than 10 years in the Department of Orthopedics, Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and directed by a physician titled with doctor's tutor and chief physician. All included physicians were qualified to perform the surgery. The protocol of treatment was approved by the hospital's Ethics Committee. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Biocompatibility of LARS artificial ligament was observed. Patients were followed up for 24 months on average to score knee function by Lysholm test and subjective satisfaction by Tegner test. RESULTS: All of 32 cases were followed up. The follow-up periods were 18 months (3 cases), 20 months (7 cases), 24 months (8 cases), 28 months (12 cases) and 30 months (2 cases). No complications, such as acute or chronic synovitis, LARS artificial ligament rupture, or limited range of motion were found. The knee joint function was ideal with the range of motion [0° to (128±11.56)°]. The postoperative scores with 85.6 ± 2.24 were significandy higher than the preoperative scores with 45.3±1.31 according to the Lysholm knee joint function evaluation system (P < 0.05). The instability of every knee disappeared with anterior drawer sign negative. Tegner's scores were also increased. CONCLUSION: The biocompatibility of LARS is optimal. LARS artificial ligament reconstruction showed excellent knee joint function and subjective satisfaction degree.
