Microglial cells are the resident immune cells of brain. The activated microglia produces a range of deleterious substances, which plays an important role in the inflammation of post-stroke, such as superoxide, nitric oxide, matrix metalloproteinases, etc. The activa-tion of microglia may involve triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1, Toll-like receptors 4, peroxisome proliferator-activated re-ceptors, purinergic receptors, etc. Intervention targeted to microglial receptor is becoming a new strategy for ischemic stroke.

Autophagy plays an important role in the regulation of activation and inflammation of microglia after ischemic stroke. The interaction between autophagy of microglia and the inflammation mediated by microglia after ischemic stroke was complex and a large num-ber of molecules were involved. The receptors of microglia activation and related substances may be possible mechanism in the regulation of microglia autophagy. Autophagy inhibitors and microglia receptor targeting therapy may provide new strategies for the clinical treatment of ischemic stroke. This paper summarized the progress of microglia autophagy after ischemic stroke.

Aim To select the ideal experimental rats model for research on prevention and treatment of Hyperlipidemia.Methods Five prescriptions on experimental hyperlipidemia-rats were selected and emulsion was made.At 10、20、30 d blood samples were taken from ocular orbit and content of CHO、 LDL、 HDL 、TG in the serum were measured.Results Four of the five prescriptions could lead to the disorder of lipid metabolism at different levels.Conclusion An ideal experimental rats model of hyperlipidemia can be made if bile salt and propylthiouracil are conbined to add to the fat emulsion of lard and cholesterol.

Objective To investigate the operative technique and efficacy of PPH for severe hemorrhoids. Methods The clinical data of 153 cases of severe hemorrhoids treated by PPH, individualized according to size and nature of the piles, concomitant morbidities and conditions at the dentate line, and analysis of the relevance between operative technique and clinical efficacy as well as postoperative complications, were revieuled retropectively. Results All of the prolapsed tissue retracted immediately. Bleeding at the anastomotic site occurred in 49 cases, pulsatile bleeding in 12 cases, all of which were sutured under direct vision with cessation of bleeding. The width of excised-tissue was 2.1~4.6cm(average 3.5cm). The main symptoms of patients on the 1st post-operation day were abdominal distention caused by dysuria, pain, and tenesmus and burning sensation. At followup of 1-40 months, there was no stenosis of stoma, anal incontinence or recurrence of prolapse. After operation, a very satistactory result was achieved in 87 cases, satisfactory in 63 cases and mostly satisfactory in 3 cases. Conclusions In order to achieve ideal results with good retraction of tissues, avoidance of complications and improve patient satisfactory rate, the use of PPH for severe hemorrhords must be individualized and technical skill during operation are important.

Soft tissue related complications are quite frequent in limb lengthening. Muscle fibers may proliferate or regenerate after stretching injury over 10-20% of their original length. However, the cells which are engaged in this phenomenon are not confirmed yet. We chased the S-phase cells (phase for DNA replication) in the posterior leg muscle during limb lengthening by immunohistochemical technique. We lengthened the tibiae of fifteen New Zealand white rabbits. We divided them into three groups and each group is consisted of five rabbits. In group 1, we lengthened the left tibiae by 10% of their original length, in Group 2, 20%, and in group, 3, 25%, respectively, At the end of lengthening posterior muscles of lengthened left side and of controlled right side were fixed and processed for Immunohistochemical staining which could detect the incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine(BDU). Labelling index(LI:% of positively stained S-phase nuclei) of group 1 was zero. LI of groups for more than 20% lengthening (sum of group 2 and 3) was statistically significant. In conclusion, nuclei around or within the muscle tissue are in S-phase during limb lengthening which means proliferation of the muscle fivers or of the certain cells that abut muscle fibers.

Distal radioulnar is a part which has a rotational movement through the function of distal radioulnar joint and extensor carpi ulnaris. The injury mechanism in this area is usually a trauma largely due to traffic accidents. In general these injuries to the distal radioulnar joint are treated by a closed reduction. However, the isolated distal ulnar fracture without radial fracture, which is often called the night stick fracture, is difficult to treat by a closed reduction and a cast immobilization alone, especially if there is a displacement or fracture segment impinging soft tissue or severe comminution. Nonunion has been the frequent outcome with this method of treatment and limitation of rotation of forearm and distal radioulnar joint have occurred due to long period of immobilization or malunion. Thus, a different treatment modality such as open reduction and internal fixation and early active joint motion has arisen as a better treatment modality. In this study, 8 cases of isolated distal ulnar fracture without radial fracture have recieved the operation and the early active joint movement, if a displacement was present either at the time of injury or after the initial closed reduction. As a result, this method has enabled the patients to reduce the rate of complication of nonunion and to recover limitation of joint motion in a shorter time period.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite(HA) coating on bone ingrowth into fiber-mesh coated titanium implant. The shear strength of the HA coatings on interface attachment, the degree of osseointegration of HA coated implants and bone ingrowth of fiber-mesh coated titanium implants were evaluated. The implants were placed transcortically in the femora of mature dogs and evaluated after six weeks. The pushout test showed 33.58±10.87 MPa in HA-coated fiber meshed implants and 20.53±4.91 MPa in fiber-mesh coated implants. In histologic observations, similar quantitative results in the amount of bone ingrowth and osseointegration on both systems. The HA coatings showed direct osseointegration and bone ingrowth on its surface and fiber-mesh without fibrous layer, but the fiber-mesh only coatings showed thin fibrous layer between the ingrown bone and titanium surface. In conclusion, HA-coating on fiber-mesh coated implant provided earlier and stronger osseointegration and bone ingrowth than fiber-mesh only coated implant.

Average anteversion of the femur is 15.3 degree. Ultrasound, computerized tomogram, and three dimensional reconstruction from CT or MRI have been used for more accurate measurement of the anteversion. There are two methods in measuing anteversion angle from CT scan:one is by drawing a mid line through long axis of the femoral neck (conventional method). Another is by drawing a line from the center of the head to that of the neck at the base of the trochanter using several cut slices (Murphy’s method). We compared these methods with fluoroscopic measurement of the Anteversion. We traced the change of the anteversion before and after closed femoral intramedullary (IMO) nailing to evaluate the origin of malrotation of the femur. 1. Normal anteversion angles were measured in 15 cases. Average anteversion angle was 6.9 degrees by conventional method, 12.3 degrees by Murphy’s method, and 12.2 degrees by fluoroscope. 2. Anteversion angles were measured after IM nailing in 18 cases. Average was 17 degrees by Murphy’s method and 15.2 degrees by fluoroscope. Mean of difference between these two methods sea 6.3 degrees. That was 1.7 degrees in normal side. 3. Change of the anteversion angle between before and after IM nailing was measured in 17 cases by fluoroscope. Average anteversion angle before the operation was 11.9 degrees and it was change to 15.8 degrees after operation. Mean of these change was 7.1 degrees. 4. Pereperative traction provides important information on change of anteversion. Reduction excessive flexion of proximal fragment was a origin of change of anteversion during nailing procedure. Conclusion : Malrotation of the femur after IM nailing must be keep in mind and it may be preventable by fluoroscopic control of the rotation in nailing procedure.
