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.

BACKGROUND: Of the many growth factors that can enhance bone formation, the bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are probably the most effective and most widely studied for applications requiring new bone growth. To analyze the effects, the gold standard is patient randomized control trials, however, only BMP-2 and BMP-7 have reached this level of investigation. OBJECTIVE: In this meta analysis the recent findings concerning the application of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in tissue engineering and gene therapy, the options of its transfer means, as well as the ideal time of delivery is discussed. RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: The relevant articles published between January 1997 and December 2006 were searched for in Pubmed database by researcher of this article with the key words "recombinant human bone morphogenic proteins (rhBMPs), tissue engineering, gene therapy" in English. A total of 81 articles were selected and reviewed by the standards of: ① Having close relations with the application of rhBMP-2 in tissue engineering and gene therapy; ②The most recently published articles and articles in authority journals were chosen in the same field. Exclusion criteria: repetitive studies. LITERATURE EVALUATION: The main sources of literature are the application of rhBMP-2 in tissue engineering and gene therapy. Among the 52 selected articles, 12 are reviews or meeting reports, others are clinical or elementary experimental studies. DATA SYNTHESIS: BMPs are members of the TGF- β superfamily, which are released by osteoprogenitor cells and typically improve bone growth. The use of scaffolds, cells, and growth factors for bone regeneration is called bone tissue engineering. The application of rhBMP-2 in tissue engineering holds great promise for the augmentation and manipulation of bone and soft tissue repair. One potential alternative to direct rhBMP-2 delivery is to develop a biologic cellular delivery vehicle via gene therapy to enhance bone formation. The application of rhBMP-2 in gene therapy holds great promise for the augmentation and manipulation of bone and soft tissue repair. The research indicated that the dosing, time, and transfer mode of rhBMP-2 to the desired targets remain a facing challenge. Further studies should focus on the ideal dosing, time and method of delivery, which should be easily and reliably displayed, cost effective, and clearly controlled. CONCLUSION: The future of bone and soft tissue repair will likely be based on biologic augmentation of healing and tissue regeneration. The use of rhBMP-2 holds great promise for the augmentation and manipulation in tissue engineering and gene therapy.

Previous studies have proved that the effect of statins in both primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke, however, whether acute ischemic stroke needs to be treated with statins and the effect of statins pretreatment on acute ischemic stroke remain unclear. This article reviews the recent representative studies in this field, and analyzes the effects of the application of statins in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke on prognosis.

The effects of monoterpene perilly alcohol (POH) alone or in combination with STI571 on the proliferation and apoptosis of the cell line K562 positive for Bcr/Abl were investigated. By using cell culture, the effect of the drugs on the proliferation of the cells was studied. TUNEL and flow cytometry assay of FITC-Annexin V and PI labeled cells were applied to detect the effects of the drugs on the apoptosis of the cells. The results showed that at 36 h, IC50 of POH on K562 positive for Bcr/Abl and HL-60 negative for Bcr/Abl were 81.0 +/- 11.3 micromol/L and 113.6 +/- 23.4 micromol/L respectively (P>0.05). POH could inhibit the proliferation of K562 in a time- and dose-dependent manner with the inhibitory rate of 100 micromol/L POH on K562 cells at 36 h being (53.2 +/- 3.65)%. K562 cells were more sensitive to STI571 than POH. IC50 of STI571 on K562 cells in 36 h was (0.256 +/- 0.054) micromol/L. In a time- and dose-dependent manner, POH induced the apoptosis of K562 cells with the percentage of apoptotic cells by 100 micromol/L POH at 40 h being (21.0 +/- 3.3)%. Both 100 micromo/L POH and 0.2 micromol/L STI571 had the same inhibitory effects on the K562 cells at 36 h. But at 12 and 24 h, the inhibitory rate of POH was significantly higher than that of STI571 (P<0.05) and the ability of STI571 inducing apoptosis at 36 h was greater than that of POH. 50 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L and 200 micromol/L POH in combination with 0.2 micromol/L STI571 could obviously increase the inhibitory effects on the cellular proliferation. Combined use of 50 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L, 200 micromol/L with 0.2 micromol/L STI571 could strongly induced apoptosis, especially 200 micromol/L POH in combination with 0.2 micromol/L STI571. It was concluded that the antileukemia effect of POH had no obvious Bcr/Abl positive selectivity. POH can inhibit the proliferation of K562 and induce the apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. K562 cells were more sensitive to STI571 than POH. POH in combination with STI571 could obviously enhance the abilities of STI571 inhibiting the proliferation and inducing apoptosis of K562 cells.
