Objective To explore the effect of fibroblast growth factor receptors 1-dominant negative strategy (FGFR1-DN) on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSCs) after osteogenic induction.Methods BMSCs were transfected with eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA 3.1 (+)-DN FGFR1 and pcDNA3.1 (+)-FGFR1.The experiment was conducted in 4 groups:FGFR1-DN transfection group,FGFR1 transfection group,pcDNA3.1(+) empty vector transfection group and non-transfection group.The ALP activity of BMSCs was detected in logarithmic growth phase after osteogenic culture.The qualitative detection of ALP activity was carried out immunohistochemically while the quantitative detection by cALP kit.The ALP activity was compared between the 4 groups at 7 and 14 days after osteogenic induction.Results Compared with 7 days,the ALP activity at 14 days was significantly increased in the 4 groups,and the increase in FGFR1-DN transfection group was significantly higher than in the other 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).At both 7 and 14 days,the ALP activity in FGFR1-DN transfection group was the highest while that in FGFR1 transfection group was the lowest (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions FGFR1-DN can promote the ALP activity of BMSCs during osteogenesis.This may provide an experimental basis for the joint application of local gene therapy and tissue engineering and for construction of tissue engineered bone with better biocompatibility.

Objectives:To understand the current situation of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and type D personality in female college students,and to explore the relationship between them.Methods:Totally 856 female college students were assessed with the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS,those with total score of 6 or higher as having PMS) and Type D Personality Scale 14 (DS-14,those negative emotion and social inhibition factor with total score of 10 or higher as having type D personality).Result:A total of 280 students were detected with PMS,and the rote was 32.7％.Totally 272 students were detected with the type D personality,and the rote was 31.8％.The total score of DS-14 and the score of 2 factors were higher in PMS group than in non-PMS group (Ps ＜0.001).The rate of PMS was lower in type D personality group than in non-type D personality group (11.76％ vs.25.34％,P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions:The occurrence of premenstrual syndrome may be related to the type D personality.The evaluation of personality characteristics should be taken into consideration when formulating the intervention program.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between hypercoagulable state and the activation of the NF- kappa B pathway,inflammatory/suppression cytokines in patients with osteoarthritis. Methods:56 patients with OA were divided into two groups according to random number table:XFC group ( 28 cases ) and glucosamine ( GS ) group ( 28 cases ) . Two groups were treated for 3 months. Nine healthy people are healthy control group ( NC) . Determining the expression levels of the index of the NF-κB signaling pathway (p50,p65,TAK1,IκBα) and TNF-α,IL-1,IL-10,platelet activating factor(PAF) in serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Detected the level of the indicators and laboratory indexes related with coagulation,observed the changes between the two group, used OA symptoms integral scale, LequesneMG, SF-36 and vas to assess efficacy;and made a correlation analysis. Results: After treatment,FIB,D-D, PAF, PLT, p50, p65, TAK1, IL-1, TNF-α, hs-CRP, ESR, IgG, LequesneMG, symptom integral meter, and VAS integral were significantly higher,APTT,PT,PAF-AH,IL-10 and each dimension integral of SF-36 significantly decreased in 2 groups (P<0. 05). XFC group was better than the GS group in reducing the level of PLT,FIB,TNF-α,p65,TAK1,hs-CRP,ESR,symptom integral meter,and VAS integral and increasing PT,each dimension integral of SF-36, etc (P<0. 05,P<0. 01). The results of Pearson correlation analysis show that PLT,FIB,D-D,PAF had positive correlation with p50,p65,TAK1,IL-1,TNF-α,hs-CRP,ESR,IgG,Le-quesneMG,symptom integral meter,and VAS integral,and negative correlation with IL-10 and each dimension integral of SF-36 ( P<0. 05,P<0. 01). PT had positive correlation with IL-10,GH and PF,and negative correlation with p50,p65,TAK1,IL-1,TNF-α,hs-CRP,ESR,IgG,symptom integral meter,and VAS integral (P<0. 05,P<0. 01). Conclusion: XFC could inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway, raise the level of IL-10, reduce the expression of IL-1, TNF-α, P50, p65, TAK1 and so on, and reduce the abnormal inflammatory immune response. So as to achieve the purpose of delaying and inhibiting the production of hypercoagulable state,reduce joint disease,relieve the symptoms of joint pain and stiffness,eventually improve the patient’s quality of life.

Objective:To observe the changes in coagulation parameters, peripheral blood cytokines, NF-kappa B signaling pathway protein, laboratory indexes in Sjogren′s syndrome ( SS ) patients, thus to explore the mechanism of hypercoagulable state. Methods:60 patients with SS and 20 healthy persons were randomly selected as the study group and the control group;Automatic coagulation analyzer was used to detect the value of coagulation parameters [ activated partial thromboplastin time ( APTT) ,prothrombin time ( PT) , plasma fibrinogen ( FIB ) , prothrombin time ( TT ) , D-dimer ( DD ) ]; ELISA method was performed to observe the expression of related cytokines(IL-1β,TNF-α,IL-10) and NF-κB signaling pathway proteins (p65,p50,IκBα); Westergren method was used to determine erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR) ,and automatic biochemical analyzer to examine immune protein( IgG,IgA, IgM,GLO) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Results: Blood coagulation parameters in 60 patients with SS were at least one abnormal for 46 cases,accounting for 76. 7% of the subjects. Among them,the abnormal rate of D-D was the highest,followed by FIB,APTT,PT,TT. Compared with the control group,D-D,FIB were significantly increased in SS patients,and TT,PT,APTT was not found obviously different. In addition,IL-1β,TNF-α,P50,P65,IκBα and inflammatory indexes like ESR,hs-CRP,IGg,GLO,ESSDAI, corneal staining score increased while the salivary flow rate,tear film break-up time and IL-10 decreased significantly( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Correlation analysis showed that the coagulation parameters FIB were positively correlated with the salivary flow rate,TNF-α, P50,P65,ESR,hs-CRP,while negatively correlated with IL-10,that TT was negatively correlated with TNF-α;that D-D was positively correlated with TNF-α, IL-1β, P65, ESR, hs-CRP, ESSDAI and corneal staining score, while negatively correlated with IL-10. Conclusion: SS patients generally have hypercoagulable state, and may be associated with the imbalance of cytokines, abnormal activation NF-kappa B signaling pathway,which mediates vascular endothelial cell damage,causing coagulation/fibrinolytic system dis-orders.

BACKGROUND:There is little evidence on the use of al ogeneic tendon graft in the reconstruction of ankle joint.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical outcome of anatomical reconstruction of the lateral ligaments with cryopreserved al ogeneic tendon graft in patients with chronic ankle instability.
METHODS:Twenty-six patients with chronic lateral instability underwent anatomical reconstruction of the lateral ligaments with cryopreserved al ogeneic tendon. There were 18 cases of simultaneous injury or chalasia in calcaneofibular ligament and anterior talofibular ligament, and 8 cases of anterior talofibular ligament injury or chalasia. The ankle joint function was evaluated according to AOFAS scale and Good classification. The affect ankle and healthy ankle were compared in the extension, plantar flexion activity, and metaleg activity.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the 26 patients were fol owed up for 9-24 months with a mean of 15 months. No cases appeared recurrent ankle lateral instability. The mean AOFAS score in the group of calcaneofibular ligament and anterior talofibular ligament was improved from (48.4±3.7) points preoperatively to (88.2±3.8) postoperatively, while that in the group of anterior talofibular ligament was improved from (50.0±6.4) points preoperatively to (89.5±3.4) points postoperatively. According to Good score, there were excellent in 19 feet, good in 6 feet, fair in 1 foot, with an excellent and good rate up to 96%. No serious complication was occurred in this group. Anatomical reconstruction of the lateral ligaments with cryopreserved al ogeneic tendon graft can increase the tendon-bone contact area, improve the rate of tendon healing, and enhance the stability of ankle joint in patients with chronic ankle instability. Further studies are needed to verify its long-term efficacy.
