NF-?B, a group of important transcription factors, are introduced and discussed here on several aspects: their component and molecular structure; their activity control by I?B and IKK, the mechanism of their activation; their important roles in transcriptional regulation for large numbers of genes; and their importance in immunity, inflammation, cell survival, proliferation and apoptosis. The analysis of the relation between NF-?B and disease occurrence, the analysis of the relation between NF-?B and disease therapy, and the application prospect of the new strategy regarding the novel drug design and correlative diseases therapy on the basis of NF-?B as the target, are also included.

BACKGROUND:Arthroscopy can observe the involutive relation of patelofemoral joint directly and dynamicaly, which can be used to judge whether the patelofemoral joint abnormalities can be completely corrected. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical effect of lateral retinacular release and ligament reconstruction under arthroscope for patela recurrent dislocation. METHODS: A total of 58 patients diagnosed as having recurrent patelar dislocations were divided randomly into control and experimental groups, with 29 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received lateral retinacular release and ligament reconstruction under common operation and those in the experimental group received lateral retinacular release and ligament reconstruction under arthroscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in the Lysholm and Kujala scores before treatment in the two groups (P > 0.05), but at 12 months after treatment, the Lysholm and Kujala scores were both increased in the two groups, especialy in the treatment group (P < 0.05). No difference was found in the congruence angle and lateral patelofemoral angle with CT value at 30° of knee flexion (P > 0.05), and CT measurement values of the congruence angle and lateral patelofemoral angle were both decreased in the two groups, especialy in the experimental group, at 12 months after treatment. In addition, the operation time, healing time, and total effective rate were better in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05). These results indicate that the lateral retinacular release and ligament reconstruction under arthroscopy has a better effect on recurrent patelar dislocation.

Objective To observe the expression of cysteine rich-protein 61 (Cyr61) on renal tubular cells,to explore its effects against hypoxic induced kidney injury and the underlying mechanisms.Methods A stably Cyr61 expressed tubular cell line Cyr61-HK2 was established based on HK2 cells and recombinant Cyr61-lentivirus.BrdU incorporation assay was used for cell proliferation.The apoptosis of cells was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V and propidiumiodide staining.Western bloting was used to detect the protein expression of BAD,Akt and ERK.Results (1) Cyr61-HK2 cells displayed more proliferation ability than HK2 cells.(2) Under hypoxia condition,the apoptosis of both HK2 and Cyr61-HK2 cells increased,but the apoptosis of Cyr61-HK2 cells was lesser than HK2 cells.(3) The expression of Cyr61 led to the phosphorylation of BAD,Akt and ERK on 0 h,0.5 h,1 h (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The expression of Cyr61 can promote cell proliferation and dampen cell apoptosis induced by hypoxia,which may be involved in the Akt/ERK signal pathway.

BACKGROUND:With the development of surgical techniques and reconstruction material technology, joint replacement has also been widely used in the dislocation of the shoulder;especial y al kinds of custom-made or assembled prosthesis make replacement indications improved evidently. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the long-term effects of arthroscopy or arthroplasty for treating recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint with severe bone defects. METHODS:144 patients with recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint with severe bone defects were enrol ed in this study. They were divided into treatment group and control group based on a random drawing (n=72). The control group was given arthroscopic surgery, and the treatment group was subjected to arthroplasty. The 3 years of fol owed-up were done by telephone investigation and further consultation. Neer shoulder score, shoulder activity and complications were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 3-year fol owed-up, the excel ent and good rate of shoulder function was significantly higher in the treatment group (90%) than in the control group (81%) (P<0.05). The magnitude of the flexion in the 3-year fol owed-up was apparently increased, while the lateral margin external rotation was decreased, which showed significant differences after intragroup comparison (P<0.05). Simultaneously, the magnitude of the flexion and the lateral margin external rotation in the treatment group had statistical y significant differences compared to the control group in the 3-year fol owed-up (P<0.05). The complications of wound infection, shoulder dislocation, and implant loosening in the treatment group during fol ow-up were significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05). These findings verified that compared with arthroscopic surgery, arthroplasty for treating recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder joint with severe bone defects in long-term fol ow-up can effectively restore shoulder function and range of motion, and it has few complications, thereby effectively rebuilds shoulder joint.

BACKGROUND:Traditionaly, non-surgical treatment was used to treat degenerative femoral intercondylar fossa impingement syndrome, but it can cause function loss of cruciate ligament, or knee instability. With the development of medical technology, more and more views believed that ligament damage and combined with other knee structural damage should receive surgery as soon as possible.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the repair effect of knee arthroplasty for treating degenerative femoral intercondylar fossa impingement syndrome, and compare with AO cannulated screw fixation.
METHODS:A total of 72 patients with degenerative femoral intercondylar fossa impingement syndrome were equaly and randomly divided into treatment group and control group. Patients in the control group were treated with open AO cannulated screw fixation, and patients in the treatment group were subjected to knee arthroplasty. At 7 days after treatment, repair effect was evaluated. Before treatment and 7 days after treatment, knee function was assessed by using Lysholm knee Scoring Scale and the international knee documentation committee knee evaluation form. Al patients were folowed up for 6 months after treatment to investigate the occurrence of complications.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The surgery was successfuly completed in al patients. At 7 days after treatment, the excelent and good rate was 94% in the treatment group and 75% in the control group. The excelent and good rate was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Lysholm scores were significantly greater, but the international knee documentation committee knee evaluation form scores were significantly lower at 7 days after treatment compared with that before treatment in the treatment group (P < 0.05). Simultaneously, Lysholm scores and the international knee documentation committee knee evaluation form scores were significantly better in the treatment group than in the control group at 7 days after treatment (P < 0.05). During 6-month folow-up, wound infection, intra-articular infection, joint pain, and deep vein thrombosis were significantly less in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that knee arthroplasty for degenerative femoral intercondylar fossa impingement syndrome can improve short-term efficacy, effectively restore knee function and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective To determine whether mutation of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) X gene is associated with hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN).Methods The venous blood was collected from 50 patients with HBV-GN and 60 patients with asymptomatic HBV carriers (control group).Serum HBV DNA was extracted to determine the serum titer of HBV-DNA and then polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the HBV X gene mutation.Results (1)There were not statistical significance between age and gender in HBV-GN group and control group (P ＞0.05).There were not statistical significance of serum replication level of HBV DNA in HBV-GN with X gene mutation and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Urine protein excretion in HBV-GN group with or without X gene mutation was found with statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).(2)Nucleotide mutations [84％ (42/50)] resulted in amino acid substitution in HBV-GN.Nucleotide mutations changed in transfunction control region of X gene,including position nt1653,nt1726,nt1727,nt1730,nt1753,nt1762 and nt1764.(3)Nucleotide mutations [8％(5/60)] resulted in amino acid substitution in control group.Nucleotide mutations changed in position nt1632 and nt1635,located in non-functional region.Conclusions HBV X gene mutations and the subsequent amino acid substitutions are found in HBV-GN.The urine protein excretion level increases in patients with X mutation,suggesting that these mutations may play an important role in the pathogenesis of HBV-GN.

To explore the value of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) technique in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant hepatic neoplasms.Retrospective analysis of touch tissue quantification (VTQ) and general ultrasonic examination of interesting region were performed for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),hepatic hemangioma,focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and controls.Significant differences existed between HCC and hepatic hemangioma,hepatic FNH and controls (all P ＜0.01).No significant difference existed between primary and metastatic HCC (P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference between hepatic hemangioma,FNH and controls (all P ＞ 0.05).With a cut-off VTQ value of 1.95 m/s,the sensitivity and accuracy rate in the differentiation of benign and malignant hepatic neoplasms was 90％ and 83％ respectively.The sensitivity and accuracy rate in general ultrasound examination of hepatic neoplasms was 88％ and 70％ respectively.Significant differences existed in accuracy rate between two methods (P ＜ 0.01).It was confirmed that ARFI could reflect the stiffness of liver neoplasm noninvasively.Compared with general ultrasonography,ARFI is better at differentiating benign and malignant hepatic neoplasms.

Objective To assess whether dynamic arterial elastance (Eadyn)can be used to predict the reduction of arterial pressure after decreasing norepinephrine (NE) dosage in patients with septic shock.Methods A prospective observational cohort study was conducted.Thirty-two patients with septic shock and mechanical ventilationwere enrolledfrom January 2014 to December 2015 in ICU of Wuxi People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.Hemodynamic parameters were recorded by pulse contour cardiac output(PiCCO) monitoring technology before and after decreasing norepinephrine dosage.Eadyn was defined as the ratio of pulse pressure variation (PPV) to stroke volume variation (SVV).Mean arterial pressure (MAP) variation was calculated after decreasing the dose of NE.Response was defined as a ≥ 15％decrease of MAP.AUC was plotted to assess the value of Eadyn in predicting MAP response.Results A total of 32 patients were enrolled in our study,with 13 responding to NE dose decrease where as the other 19 did not.Eadyn was lower in responders than in nonresponders (0.77 ± 0.13 vs 1.09 ± 0.31,P ＜ 0.05).Baseline Eadyn was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure variation,diastolic blood pressure variation,systemic vascular resistance variation and MAP variation (r =0.621,P =0.000;r =0.735,P =0.000;r =0.756,P =0.000;r =0.568,P =0.000 respectively).However,stoke volume variation,baseline level of systemic vascular resistance and NE baseline dose were not correlated with Eadyn baseline value (r =0.264,P =0.076;r =0.078,P =0.545;r =0.002,P =0.987 respectively).Eadyn ≤ 0.97 predicted a decrease of MAP when decreasing NE dose,with an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.85.The sensitivity was 100.0％ and specificity was 73.7％.Conclusions In septic shock patients treated with NE,Eadyn is an index to predict the decrease of arterial pressure in response to NE dose reduction.

Objective To investigate the influence of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) on neurological development of preterm infants.Methods The preterm infants were classified into 2 groups( PPROM group and control group).The neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA) and CDCC of infants in two groups were measured and compared after retrieved:gestational age 40 weeks,3 months and 6 months.Results Psycho-moter developmental index(PDI) of PPROM group after retrieved gestational age 3,6 months was significantly lower than that of control group(Pa
