Isopinosine (ISO, 25?100 mg/kg?d-1ip for 4 or 5d) significantly increased the production of serum hemolysin-and spleen plaque forming cell ( PFC) in normal mice immunized with SRBC. The same result was observed in immunosuppressive mice induced by cy clophospha-mide. In 16 month aged mice, ISO (ip for 5 d) showed potentiating effect on anti-SRBC PFC response at the dose of 2 .5 mg/kg, no significant effect at the dose of 5 .0 mg/kg, and inhibiting effect at the dose of 25 and 100 mg/kg respectively. 1SO(25,50 and 100 mg/kg?d-1 ip for 9 or 10 d ) remarkably enhanced delayed cutaneous hypersensiti-vity (DCH) to 2, 4 -dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) in normal mice as well as in immunosuppressive mice induced by cyclophospha-mide. ISO (5, 10 and 20 mg/L ) signficantly increased ConA-induced lymphocyte proliferation of spleen cells from C57BL/6J mice in vitro. There was also potentiating effect on lymphocyte proliferation induced by ConA in 16 month aged mice.

Objective To study the expressions of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in pancreatic carcinoma and their relationship with tumor invasion, local metastasis and prognosis of the carcinoma. Methods The expressions of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 were examined in 32 patients with pancreatic carcinomas by S-P immunohistochemical technique and the correlation with pathological tumor parameters were analyzed. Survival analysis was made by using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results The positive rates of MMP-2, TIMP-2 in 32 patients with pancreatic carcinoma were 56.25% and 75.00%, which were significantly higher than those of the controls(P<0.05). Expressions of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 were independent of sex, age, histological grading and type, but well correlated with the lymph node metastasis and TNM clinical staging(Ⅰ and Ⅲ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ). There was a significant association between MMP-2, TIMP-2 and prognosis in pancreatic carcinoma. Conclusion MMP-2 and TIMP-2 might be useful markers for biological aggressiveness of this malignancy and might contribute to the invasive properties of pancreatic carcinoma, which can be used to evaluate the prognosis of patients.

Objective To evaluate the influence of cytochrome P450 (CYP2C9 and CYP4F2) polymorphisms on anticoagulant intensity of warfarin after cardiac valve replacement.Methods A total of 136 patients tak ing warfarin after cardiac valve replacement were identified and classified into 4 groups:CYP2C9 wild type group (CYP2C9*1*1),CYP2C9 mutated type group (CYP2C9*3),CYP4F2 rs2108622 wild type group (CC) and CYP4F2 rs2108622 mutated type group (CT or TT).The patients' baseline data,initial dose of warfarin and base INR measurement resuhs were recorded and then the follow-up was conducted.The initial administration of warfarin to INR standard time for the first time,total amount of warfarin and the average daily amount were recorded.Results Patients carrying CYP2C9* 1* 1 had increased time to reach INR target value for the first time (P < 0.05);and the total warfarin doses and average daily dose when INR reached target value were higher than those carrying CYP2C9*3 (P < 0.05).When compared with those in two wild type groups,patients carrying CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 rs2108622 mutated type needed the shortest time when INR reached target value for the first time,and the total warfarin doses and average daily dose when INR first reached target value was the lowest,which showed significant difference (P < 0.05).And when compared with CYP2C9 mutated type group,the INR average time to reach the first target was shortened and the total warfarin dose of patients carrying CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 rs2108622 mutated type was lower (P < 0.05).Conclusion The gene polymorphisms of CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 are significant hereditary factors influencing warfarin dose.Detection of CYP2C9 and CYP4F2 genotypes prior to medication and predicating warfarin dosage may result in lower incidence of over-anticoagulation and reduce the dosage-adjusting time of warfarin.

BACKGROUND:Artificial lumbar disc replacement is a new choice for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, and preserves lumbar vertebra’s biomechanical characteristics during pain elimination. The design of the prosthesis structure and material needs further study and validation. OBJECTIVE:To review the structure and material types of presently designed artificial lumbar discs, then to discuss the trends in the optimization design of prosthesis. METHODS:The PubMed database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure database and Chinese BioMedical Literature Database were searched for related articles concerning artificial lumbar disc and type and biomechanics of nucleus pulposus prosthesis material published from January 2005 to February 2013 by the first author. Key words were“artificial lumbar disc, principle of prosthesis design, structure, material, clinical trials”in Chinese and“artificial lumbar disc, total disc replacement, structure, material, clinical trial”in English. Repetitive and old studies were excluded. 135 articles were found, but 36 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At present, the materials for intervertebral discs include cobalt-chromium al oy, ceramics, stainless steel, titanium al oy and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene. Artificial lumbar disc is commonly made by different materials. Bryan prosthesis is most commonly used in the clinic. Three-dimensional finite element analysis, in vitro trial and clinical studies verified its good biomechanical property. The successful rate of replacement was high. Nucleus prosthesis contains prefabricated type and situ polymerization type, and obtains smal injury, so it is a hot focus in present study, but it cannot achieve biomechanical function of human nucleus pulposus. To dig novel material is a future direction for designing individual prosthesis. The prosthetic structure and biomaterial design experience constant improvement and development. This study combines latest study trend and prospects the development of biomimetic design, material improvement, the optimization design of prosthesis and assisted devices.

BACKGROUND:Early clinical application of non-biological materials (bone cement) for treatment of hip joint is ineffective, due to the large fixed range, long fixation time, as wel as aging and rupture of bone cement interface causing complications such as prosthetic loosening. Thus, postoperative range of motion of the hip joint can be affected to some degree.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the methods and progress of biological and non-biological materials for total hip replacement and to assess the features and clinical application of different hip prostheses.
METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed and CNKI was performed by the first author to retrieve articles related to biological materials and tissue-engineered hip joint using the keywords of“carpal bone, fracture ununited”in the title and abstract. The keywords were limited to Chinese and English.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Biological materials for internal fixation have good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Currently, the combination of metal joint head and polyethylene acetabulum with ultrahigh molecular weight is the most commonly used in hip replacement. However, the metal joint head exhibits an elastic modulus far from the human skeleton, resulting in stress shielding effects which are easy to cause prosthetic loosening and instability. Bio-inert ceramics has high in vivo stability and good mechanical strength;and bioactive ceramics has bone conduction characteristics and performance of the living bone integration. Composite prosthesis, because of adjustable elastic modulus and sufficient mechanical strength, shows the mechanical properties close to the human bone and has been gradual y noticed. However, there is a lack of ideal prostheses with good biocompatibility and biomechanics. Therefore, hip design and manufacturing processes should be improved to elevate wear resistance and mechanical properties, to enhance the binding between prosthesis and the host bone, and to reduce stress shielding in order to improve the biocompatibility of the implant with the host, and extend the prosthetic life.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical application of expanded flap based on cutaneous branch of transverse cervical artery for reconstruction of cervical cicatricial contracture.
METHODSBased on the clinical anatomy of cutaneous branch of transverse cervical artery flap, we design the corresponding subclavicular area for expansion. The incision was usually located at the anterior axillary fold, 5-8 cm in length. The expander was implanted under the deep fascial layer, without injury of the vascular pedicle. Fixation sutures were put about 1 cm apart from the incision to prevent the expander from transposition and exposure. After expansion, the cervical cicatricial contracture was excised and released. According to the defect, the expanded flap based on the cutaneous branch of transverse cervical artery was designed, with the pedicle located at the posterior margin of sternocleidomastoid and 1. 8 cm above median point of clavicle. "S" shape incision was made at the location of vascular pedicle. Subcutaneous dissection was performed 1.5 cm in width along the incision on both sides. Then the flap was harvested under the deep fascial layer and rotated to cover defect without tension. It was not necessary to dissect the vascular pedicle further. The defect at donor site was closed directly.
RESULTS17 cases were treated with the island flap. The contracture of the cervical scar was corrected completely with aesthetic appearance.
CONCLUSIONSExpanded flap based on cutaneous branch of transverse cervical artery has reliable blood supply. It' s an ideal flap for the treatment of cervical cicatricial contracture.
