BACKGROUND:Posterior dislocation after total hip replacement is one of the most common complications that second only to loosen, and can affect the stability of the hip joint seriously. There is controversy on the effect of femoral head diameter and acetabular anteversion on the stability of hip joint in clinical study. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of the femoral head diameter and acetabular anteversion on the stability of hip joint after hip prosthesis replacement. METHODS:The femoral head diameter and acetabular anteversion that affect the posterior instability after hip prosthesis replacement were measured on the cadaveric bone. The acetabular shel was inserted at 0°-20° of anteversion at five degree intervals. The femoral heads with different diameters (28, 32 and 36 mm) were used for experiment, the internal rotation degrees to dislocation caused by hip at 90° flexion and 0° adduction and at 90° flexion and 30° adduction were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:When the cup anteversion varied from 0° to 15°, there was an increase in the degree of internal rotation angle that could cause hip dislocation with the increasing of femoral head diameter (P<0.05). When the cup anteversion varied from 15° to 20°, the increasing trend was not significant. With the hip at 90° flexion and 0° adduction, and the cup anteversion varied from 15° to 20°, the stability of 36 mm group was significantly higher than that of the 28 mm and 32 mm groups (P<0.01);the stability of 32 mm group was higher than that of 28 mm group when the acetabular anteversion in 10° or more (P<0.05);there was no significant difference in stability between groups when the anteversion less than 10°. With the hip at 90° flexion and 30° adduction, the stability of 36 mm group was significantly higher than that of the 28 mm and 32 mm groups (P<0.01);the stability of 32 mm group was higher than that of 28 mm group when the acetabular anteversion in 10° or more (P<0.05);there was no significant difference in stability between groups when the anteversion less than 10°. The results indicate that the increasing of acetabular anteversion can reduce the occurrence of dip dislocation, but when it is difficult to choice the acetabular anteversion, large-diameter femoral head is preferred to increase the stability of hip joint.

Objective To explore the role of plastic astrocytes in focal cerebral infarct. Methods Immunohistochemical and double immunofluorescence techniques were used in the study. Results The astrcytes positive for glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) occurred in the periinfarct area appeared hypertrophy and proliferation,specially on their processes and formed a network,and the processes oriented toward the infarct center from the periinfarction.The expression of excitatory amino acid transporter 1( EAAT1) increased in the penumbra area of cerebral infarct and manifested spot and fibre.The confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis showed the double staining for EAAT1 and GFAP.Conclusion The plastic astrocytes might participate in the pathological process of cerebral infarct recovery by enhancing the expression of EAAT1.;

BACKGROUND: When the teeth affected abnormal biting force, tooth absorption and periodontium would be greatly damaged. OBJECTIVE: To study whether periodontal membrane fibroblast affected apoptosis following cyclic tensile stress stimulation and whether p38MAPK signaling pathway participated in apoptosis. METHODS: Fibroblasts at passages from 4 to 7 were randomly assigned to control, loading and SB203580 groups after synchronization. In the loading and SB203580 groups, 12% strain was applied at a loading frequency of 6 cycles per minute, i.e. 5 seconds for tension and 5 seconds for relaxation. In the SB203580 group, cells were treated with 20 mmol/L p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 at 1 hour before loading. At 6, 12 and 24 hours after loading, cells from each group were harvested, and cell apoptosis was detected using a flow cytometry. Expression of bax mRNA was determined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, apoptotic rate of fibroblasts and bax mRNA expression were increased after loading (P < 0.05), and enhanced over time, and peaked at 12 hour following loading, and then decreased gradually. Compared with the loading group, cell apoptosis was reduced at corresponding time points in the SB203580 group (P < 0.05), and bax mRNA expression was diminished. These results indicated that cells affected apoptosis after mechanics stimulation, and mitogen activated protein kinase p38MAPK signaling pathway participates in the process of apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of programmed death ligand 2 (PDL2) in human placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells(hPMSCs) mediated immunoregulation on peripheral blood T cells activation,proliferation and cell cycle.Methods The expression of the PDL2 on hPMSCs was detected by RT-PCR,LSCM and FCM,respectively.Specific PDL2 siRNAs were transfected into hPMSCs via cathodolyte liposome transfection method.T cells were sorted from healthy peripheral blood by gradient centrifugation.The expression of early activation phenotype,proliferation and cell cycle of T cells were analyzed by FCM.Results PDL2 siRNA could effectively block the expression of PDL2 which was highly expressed on hPMSCs.The expression of CD69 on T cells had no significantly difference in blocking groups compared with unblocking groups.hPMSCs could inhibit the proliferation of T cells induced by PMA,compared with that of unblocking groups,the number of the T cells in G0/G1 phase was decreased while the number of the T cells in S phase was increased in the blocking groups.Conclusion PDL2 expressed on hPMSCs could promote the inhibitory effect of hPMSCs on T cell cycle and proliferation.

Objective To establish a midwife-obstetrician collaboration-based management model for pregnant women after caesarean sections and to evaluate its effectiveness on women′s childbirth outcomes. Methods A panel of experts including obstetricians and midwives was established. A revised management scheme for women after cesarean sections was finally formed through multiple expert consultation method. A historical control method was implemented in our study. Women giving birth before the implementation of collaboration-based management scheme between 2011 and 2013 were recruited in the control group;and women giving birth afterwards between 2014 and 2016 were recruited in the intervention group. Childbirth outcomes such as the mode of delivery, rate of trial of labor after cesarean sections, and vaginal birth rate after cesareans were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 3326 women in intervention group, of those women 281 (8.4%) under trial of labor after cesarean, of the women who under trial of labor 264(94.0%) had successful vaginal birth. A total of 1625 women in control group, of those women 28(1.7%) under trial of labor after cesarean, of the women who under trial of labor 22(78.6%) had successful vaginal birth. The trial of labor after cesarean sections rate and the vaginal birth rate after cesareans rate was significantly higher in intervention group than that in control group (P<0.01). Conclusions The midwife-obstetrician collaboration-based management model can promote vaginal birth for women after cesarean sections, and has no adverse effect on other childbirth outcomes, which is worthy of being implemented more widely in China.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of dynamic monitoring the copies of human cytomegalovirus(HCMV)-DNA in prophylaxis of HCMV pneumonia after renal transplantation.Methods There were 242 cadaveric renal transplantation recipients including 144 males and 98 females,with the average age of 41(from 17 to 71).They were divided into 2 groups(experimental group 127 cases,control group 115 cases).Recipients in experimental group were routinely monitored by blood preparation and urine aliquot FQ-PCR.The therapy was initiated when HCMC-DNA>1×103 copies/ml by blood preparation and/or urine aliquot FQ-PCR with intravenous ganciclovir for 4 weeks.The dosage was calculated according to creatinine clearance rate.FQ-PCR monitoring and Preemptive therapy was not performed in the control group.The pneumonia rate, death rate and survival between the two groups were compared. Results In experimental group, the HCMV pneumonia incidence rate was 6.3 % (8/127), onset time was 46-167 d, median time was 84 d, hospitalization time was 30-57 d,median time was 36 d, death rate was 12.5 % (1/8), breathing machine using rate was 12.5 % (1/8),concurrent other pathogen infection rate was 25 % (2/8), and + year renal graft survival rate was 98.4% (125/127).One was dead with graft function and the other dysfunction was because of acute rejection.In control group, the HCMV pneumonia incidence rate was 14.8%(17/115), onset time was 34-138 d,median time was 51 d, hospitalization time was 21-67 d,median time was 40 d,breathing machine using rate was 29.4% (5/17),concurrent other pathogen infection rate was 41.2%(7/17), death rate was 23.5% (4/17), and 1 year renal graft survival rate was 93.0% (107/115).Three was dead with graft function and the other one was dead of DGF.The other 4 cases of renal dysfunction were because of acute rejection.Significant difference existed between the 2 groups (P<0.05) except for hospitalization time (P> 0.05). Conclusion The preemptive therapy of CMV pneumonia after renal transplantation by dynamic monitoring the copies of HCMV-DNA in recipients could have a good effect, and the 1 year renal graft survival rate could be higher.

Objective To investigate the value of modified pancreatoduodenectomy in the treatment of ampullary carcinoma by comparing the efficacy of pancreatoduodenectomy with preservation of ascending portion of duodenum and that of Whipple procedure. Methods The clinical data of 133 patients with ampullary carcinoma who had been admitted to the Qilu Hospital from 1990 to 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 133 patients, 88 received Whipple procedure (group A) and 45 received pancreatoduedenectomy with preservation of ascending portion of duodenum (group B). The preoperative condition of the patients and short- and long-term efficacy of the 2 procedures were compared by Fisher exact probability, t test, chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-rank test, and the differences between the efficacy of the 2 procedures were compared. Results The operation time, time of gastrointestinal function recovery, hospital stay and ratio of patients with blood transfusion were (366±111) minutes, (7.4±1.4) days, (24±9) days and 76% (67/88) in group A, and (325±32)minutes, (4.3±1.4)days, (31±14)days, 42% (19/45) in group B, with significant difference between the 2 groups (t = 2.34, 2.08, 1.98 ; χ2 = 14.99, P < 0.05). The medium survival time of patients in groups A and B were (19.0±1.5)months and (16.9±1.7) months, with no significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 0.46, P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of postoperative complications between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Pancreateduodenectomy with preservation of ascending portion of duodenum can be applied for patients with ampullary carcinoma.
