according to the difference of femoral eccentricity on the affected and healthy sides. In the reduction group (30 cases), the difference value was <-5 mm. In the normal group (87 cases), the difference value was -5-5 mm. In the increased group (45 cases), the difference value was > 5 mm. Femoral stem and femoral prosthesis type were compared among different groups. SF-12 scale score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Harris score were evaluated and compared before and after replacement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Standard eccentricity of femoral prosthesis mainly accounted for 77%, 63% and 73% in the reduction group, normal group and increased group, respectively (P > 0.05). No significant difference in average eccentricity was detected in each group between the affected and healthy sides (P> 0.05). WOMAC score was significantly higher after replacement than that before replacement in three groups (P < 0.05). No significant difference in WOMAC score was found among three groups before replacement (P > 0.05). No significant differences in pain and stiffness were detected among three groups after replacement (P > 0.05), and significant differences in physical function were found (P < 0.05). The physical function was highest in the normal group. No significant difference in SF-12 scale score was seen in the three groups before and after replacement (P > 0.05). The physical ability score was elevated after replacement in the three groups (P < 0.05). Mental scores were significantly elevated in reduction and normal groups (P < 0.05). The excelent and good rate of Harris score was significantly higher in the increased group (96%) than in the reduction group (70%) and normal group (87%) (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the increased eccentricity contributed to the pain easement after total hip arthroplasty and promoted functional recovery. The decreased eccentricity could worsen patient’s pain, and was not conducive to the restoration of joint function after replacement.

Objective The study systematically reviewed the therapeutic effect of the Kidney-Nourishing therapy on aromatase inhibitor-associated bone loss (AIBL).Methods The databases CNKI, CBM, VIP, Medline and the Cochrane Library were searched. Cochrane collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias was adopted to assess the quality of trials. The Revman 5.3 software was used for the analysis on the outcome index such as bone minernal density and the level of serum estradiol.Results Meta-analysis was conducted on 11 randomly controlled clinical trials. All 11 studies were concducted in China, and the quality of researches was low. Meta-analysis revealed that the decrement of bone mineral density in the group receiving kidney-nourishing herbs was significantly smaller than that in the control group(P<0.001), theMD was -0.070, 95%CI was (-0.087, -0.053), but there was no significant difference between two groups in the outcome of the serum estradiol level (P=0.159), theMD was -2.622, 95%CIwas(-6.273, 1.030).Conclusion Kidney- Nourishing herbs can delay the process of aromatase inhibitor-associated bone loss, but may not influence the serum estrogen level.

Objective_To evaluate the proangiogenesis of extracelluar matrix proteins SRPX2 on HUVECs.Meth-ods_pcDNA3.1-SRPX2 vector ( transfection group) and pcDNA3.1 vector ( negative group) were transfected into HEK293T cells, then divided into 3 groups including blank group.The proliferation of HUVECs ( absorbance, A450 ) was detected by CCK-8 kit.The transmembrane cell number was counted by Transwell migration and wound healing assay to evaluate the migration ability of HUVECs.A three dimensional culture system of cells was construc-ted on the Matrigel, and tube formation number of HUVECs was assessed.Results_The proliferation of HUVECs ( absorbance,A450 ) among transfection group,negative group and blank group failed to show significant difference (P>0.05).A signifiant difference was noted in the total branch point of capillary tubes among transfection group, negative group and blank group[(97 ±4)/field versus (57 ±3) and (54 ±3)/field] (P<0.05).In wound healing
assay, the distance of transfection group compared to 0, 6 and 12 h were both significantly larger than that of nega-tive group and blank group [(90 ±6), (37 ±7),(36 ±4)μm and (135 ±5),(65 ±8),(63 ±4)μm respective-ly, both( P<0.05) ] .In Tranwell assay, the number of migrating cells in the transfection group was significantly more than negative group and blank group [(549 ±10)/field vs (334 ±11) and (329 ±12)/field(P<0.05)] af-ter co-culture 16 h.Conclusions_SRPX2 may promote angiogenesis by stimulating the migration and tubing on the Matrigel of HUVECs.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Bilobalide on ischemical reperfusion injury in orthotopic liver transplantation model rats and to discuss its protective effect on ischemical reperfusion injury of rats undergoing liver transplantation.METHODS:The model of orthotopic liver transplantation was established by in rats by setting up the bridge between portal vein and left renal vein and building blood bypass by inlaying of canal in the inferior vena,after modeling,the rats were treated with Bilobalide,then levels of NO(active medium of blood vessel)and ET1 before ischemia and at 10 min,30min and 2h after reperfusion were determined by nitratase reduction method;serum levels of ALT,AST,ALP,LDH enzymology,ATP and MDA in the liver tissues were determined as well.The hepatic tissue sample was taken at 2h and fixed with formalin to be made into specimen for observation of the ultrastructure of liver cells and hepatic lobules under electron microscope.RESULTS:After being treated by Bilobalide,serum NO level was elevated and the pathological elevated levels of ALT,AST and LDH were brought down,the microcirculation in ischemical reperfusion injury rats was improved and the extent of damage in the ultrastructure of liver cells was lessened in rats.CONCLUSION:Bypass of portal vein and inferior vena cava prior liver transplantation is helpful for the prevention of ischemical reperfusion injury of liver.The balance of NO/ET1 is possibly a factor influencing the blood flow in the microcirculation of transplanted liver.Bilobalide was proved to be of protective effect on ischemical reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective To analyze the correlation factors between CT imaging features of pulmonary embolism(PE)and clinical severity stratification,to explore the value of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA)in acute PE severity stratification.Methods According to the clinical severity,48 patients with acute PE proved by CTPA were classified into two groups,including 21 critical and 27 non-critical patients. Embolism index,ratio of central pulmonary involvement,ratio of right ventricle maximum minor axis (RVMMA)to left ventricle maximum minor axis(LVMMA),namely RV:LV,dilation of main pulmonary and/or right pulmonary trunk,and dilation of bronchial arteries in both groups were analyzed comparatively. The correlation factors between CT imaging features and PE clinical severity stratification were explored.The correlation between RV:LV and embolism index of 48 patients was analyzed.Results Pulmonary embolism index(22.0%—85.0%,median 38.0%),ratio of central pulmonary involvement(42.5%),RV:LV (0.90—1.90,median 1.30),dilation of pulmonary artery(14 cases),and dilation of bronchial artery (8 cases)in critical group(21 cases)were higher than those corresponding factors(5%—48%,median 21.5%,31.25%,0.80—1.40,median 1.00,5 eases,and 3 eases)in non-critical group(27 cases) (Z=4.27,X~2=5.40,Z=2.58,X~2=11.45,X~2=4.87,P

Background The evaluation of visual function after laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) mainly focuses on the study of contrast sensitivity funetion (CSF).However,CSF measurement is a subjective method and therefore has a limiting in application.A point spread function (PSF) is becoming a study topic because of its objectivity in assessing visual quality.Objective Present study was to evaluate the change of the modulation transfer function (MTF) of eyes and compare the optical and visual quality of human eyes after LASIK.Methods Thirty-six patients(72 eyes) were included in this study.The patients were divided into low myopia(-2.72±0.52 D),moderate myopia (-4.89+0.80 D) and high myopia (-8.00+0.98 D) groups according to the spherical equivalent (SE)diopter before the sugery.The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA),best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were examined before and after operation,and PSF data was obtained with Topoeon PSF-1000 analyzer under the 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm pupil size conditions.The follow-up visits of the patients were scheduled at the 7th days,1 st and 3rd months.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before this study. ResuIts The MTF values among the three refractive groups were significantly different between 3 mm and 6 mm pupil preoperatively (P＜0.05).Under the condition of 3 mm pupil size,the MTF values in the spatial frequencies of 2.98 cpd and 14.88 cpd were significantly declined in different time points after operation in comparison with preoperative ones (P＜0.05).However,the MTF changes had no statistical significance in the spatial frequencies from 18.85-37.70 cpd among various time points(P＞0.05).Under the condition of the 6 mm pupil size,MTF values in low and moderate myopia groups were reduced after operation in comparison with before operation at the spatial frequencies from 2.98-7.44 cpd(P＜0.05),however,there were no obvious difference was found in the spatial frequencies of 9.42-37.70 cpd(P＞0.05).The MTF values of high myopia group was decreased significantly at all spatial frequencies(P＜0.05).The MTF values improved gradually as the prolong of time after operation but was still lower at the 3rd postoperative month than that of preoperation. Conclusion The postoperative visual quality is associated with refractive power and pupil diameter.PSF is a feasible method in assessing the early visual quality after LASIK.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of mycoplasma pneumonia with pulmonary atelectasis and lavage interventional effect through fiberoptic bronchoscopy in children.Methods During Jun 2012 to Apr 2013,fifty-three children diagnosed of mycoplasma pneumonia with pulmonary atelectasis who received fiberoptic bronchoscopy were enrolled as the experimental group.Thirty-five children diagnosed of mycoplasma pneumonia without pulmonary atelectasis were chosen as control group.According to the lavage interventional time of fiberoptic bronchoscopy,we divided the patients in the experimental group into two groups,the early group and late group.Clinical data and laboratory finds were collected and analyzed.Results The duration of fever,hospital stay and C-reactive protein (CRP) of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The location of pulmonary atelectasis in the experimental group were usually in the right middle lobe (18 cases,33.9％).Under fiberoptic bronchoscope,all patients had obviously bronchial mucosa congestive edema.Some of them had follicular hyperplasia (9 cases,17.0％),mucosal erosion (3 cases,5.7％),mucus plug formation (7 cases,13.2％) and poor ventilation of segmental bronchi (4 cases,7.5 ％).Neutrophils (43 cases,81.1％) increased and phagocytic cells (31 cases,58.5％) dereased obviously in bronchoalevolar lavage fluid.After treatment in the experimental group,52 children (98.1％) got complete recruitment of atelectasis.The average duration of fever and hospital stay of the early group were significantly shoter than those of late group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Children diagnosed of mycoplasma pneumonia with pulmonary atelectasis had longer fever duration and higher CRP level.Bronchoscopic interventional therapy promoted the recovery of pulmonary atelectasis.Using bronchoscop early in shorten the duration of fever and hospitalization in children diagnosed of mycoplasm pneumonia with pulmonary atelectasis.

The relationship between T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain protein 3 (Tim-3)/Galectin (Gal)-9 pathway and recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) was studied. Thirty-one pregnant women with RSA and 27 normal early gravidas were investigated to detect the levels of Tim-3 and Gal-9 in villi and deciduas by Western blotting. Meanwhile, the concentration of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-12 in peripheral blood plasma was determined by ELISA in 25 healthy fertile non-pregnant controls, the normal early gravidas and pregnant women with RSA mentioned above, respectively. It was found that the relative expression levels of Tim-3 and Gal-9 in villi and deciduas were significantly increased in pregnant women with RSA as compared with those in the normal early gravidas. The concentration of IL-4 in peripheral blood plasma of pregnant women with RSA was lower than that of the normal early gravidas (P<0.05) and healthy fertile non-pregnant controls (P<0.05), but that of IL-2 in pregnant women with RSA was significantly higher than that of the normal early gravidas (P<0.05) and healthy fertile non-pregnant controls (P<0.05). It was suggested that the overexpression of Tim-3/Gal-9 pathway may be related to the pathogenesis of RSA.
