Objective To explore the effect of inadequate reduction of the medial wall on the postoperative varus deformity following calcaneal fracture surgery and other influencing factors of varus deformity.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 60 patients with calcaneal fracture involving the medial wall (60 feet) who had been treated from October 2005 to September 2015.They were 51 men and 9 women,18 to 55 years of age (average,38.4 years).According to the Sanders classification,24 patients belonged to type Ⅱ,30 to type Ⅲ,and 6 to type Ⅳ.We measured the integrity of the pre-and post-operative medial walls,the height and width of the pre-and post-operative calcanei,the pre-and post-operative B(o)hler angles and the pre-and post-operative calcaneal varus angles for statistical analysis.Results The effect of postoperative height reduction of the medial wall on the postoperative correction of varus angle was significantly larger than that of the lateral wall (P < 0.05).The higher the integrity of the postoperative medial wall,the larger the correction of the postoperative varus angle.The normal rate of postoperative calcaneal varus angle significantly decreased with the increased Sanders classification severity (P =0.001).The postoperative reduction of the height and width of the calcaneus and the integrity of the preand post-operative medial walls were significantly positively correlated to the normal rate of postoperative calcaneal varus angle (P < 0.05).Conclusions The medial wall has a large influence on the postoperative calcaneal varus angle.The higher integrity of the preoperative medial wall,and the more adequate reduction and fixation of the postoperative medial wall as well,the higher rate of postoperative normal calcaneal varus angle.The postoperative reduction of the calcaneal height also affects the varus angle.When the heights of the medial and lateral walls are recovered,the normal rate of varus angle is the highest;when reduction of the medial wall is inadequate but reduction of the lateral wall is fine,the normal rate of varus angle is the lowest.

AIM: To elucidate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8). METHODS: The pulmonary interstitial macrophages (PIMs) from rats were stimulated with LPS (1 mg?L~(-1)) in the presence or absence of CCK-8 (10~(-8)-10~(-6) mol?L~(-1)) or/and CCK receptor antagonist proglumide (2 mg?L~(-1)). The expression of TNF-? mRNA was assayed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) at 3 h of the stimulation, and nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) binding activity was analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) at 1 h of stimulation. The I?B? protein level in the cytoplasma at 30 min of the stimulation was detected by Western blot. RESULTS: CCK-8, at concentrations from 10~(-8) mol?L~(-1) to 10~(-6) mol?L~(-1) obviously inhibited LPS-induced TNF-? mRNA expression and NF-?B binding activity in a dose-dependent manner. Stimulation with LPS resulted in a reduction of I?B? protein level in PIMs, which was elevated by CCK-8. The effects of CCK-8 on NF-?B activity and I?B protein level were attenuated by CCK receptor antagonist proglumide. CONCLUSION: CCK-8 inhibits LPS-induced TNF-? mRNA expression by regulating NF-?B activity in rat PIMs, which is mediated through CCK receptors and inhibition of I?B? degradation. This represents one of the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of CCK-8.

OBJECTIVETo determine if locally administered bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) improved osteogenesis and new bone formation by trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis.
METHODSTwenty four dogs were divided into three groups randomly and received new internal trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis treatment. Five days after operation, infusion apparatus with double-tube was inserted to submucosa near the distracted zone to deliver controlled release agent of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2/poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/fibrin sealant (rhBMP-2/PLGA/FS) in group A and group C. Recombinant human osteoprotegerin/fibrin sealant (rhOPG/ FS) was injected three weeks later in group B and group C. Histology staining and bone histomorphometry were used to measure the changes of maxillary bone sutura after distraction for 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks.
RESULTSNew bone formation observed in distracted zone showed a significant increase in group A and C. Transmission electron microscope showed the osteoblast and osteocyte were active with dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum and a large number of chondriosomes and Golgi complex. After distraction for 6 weeks, indexes of osteoblast of group A, B, and C were 38.5 +/- 7.7, 35.7 +/- 6.5, and 41.7 +/- 11.0, indexes of osteoclast (Ioc) were 5.9 +/- 1.0, 1.2 +/- 0.3, and 2.8 +/- 0.4, bone trabecula thicknesses were (38.36 +/- 13.28), (66.20 +/- 9.16), and (51.85 +/- 9.92) microm respectively. Increased bone density and decreased Ioc were found in group B and C.
CONCLUSIONThe new elastic distractor is effective in inducing new bone formation. BMP-2 and OPG combination acts synergistically, and leads to significant enhancement of bone formation and remodeling.

Objective:To investigate the application value of pepsinogen, Helicobacter pylori combined with endoscopic Kimura-Takemoto classification in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. Methods:Sixty patients with gastric cancer who received treatment in the Department of Gastroenterology, the First People's Hospital of Huzhou from January to June 2022 were included in the gastric cancer group. An additional 60 patients with benign gastric lesions (benign gastric lesion group) and 60 patients with precancerous lesions of the stomach (precancerous lesion group) were also included in this study. Serologic testing for pepsinogen and Helicobacter pylori antibody combined with endoscopic Kimura-Takemoto classification was performed to evaluate their application value in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. Results:Compared with the benign gastric lesion and precancerous lesion groups, the pepsinogen I/pepsinogen II ratio was significantly lower, and the pepsinogen II level and Helicobacter pylori infection rate [71.67% (43/60)] were significantly higher in the gastric cancer group ( F = 108.14, 71.75, 38.43, χ2 = 6.89, all P < 0.05). Compared with the benign gastric lesion and precancerous lesion groups, the Kimura-Takenmoto classification in the gastric cancer group was significantly higher ( H = 38.91, P < 0.05). In the gastric cancer group, pepsinogen I level and pepsinogen I/pepsinogen II ratio decreased and pepsinogen II level increased with the increase of pathological stage ( F = 65.79, 5.66, 53.32, all P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in Helicobacter pylori infection rate between different stages of gastric cancer ( P < 0.05) in the gastric cancer group. There was no significant difference in Kimura-Takenmoto classification between different stages of gastric cancer (all P > 0.05) in the gastric cancer group. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve plotted for evaluating pepsinogen I, pepsinogen II, and pepsinogen I/pepsinogen II ratio for diagnosis of gastric cancer was 0.865, 0.664, and 0.881, respectively. Conclusion:Serum pepsinogen, Helicobacter pylori combined with endoscopic Kimura-Takemoto classification can increase the diagnostic rate of early gastric cancer. The Kimura Takemoto classification is helpful for risk stratification in the endoscopic screening of gastric cancer, and its results are consistent with pepsinogen levels. The combined application is of a high application value.

Objective By using the computational fluid mechanic(CFD)method the tandem carotid artery stenosis(TCAS)was simulated on the model,and to compare the postoperative hemodynamic changes of different surgical procedures.Methods One patient with tandem stenosis of internal carotid artery(ICA)and common carotid artery(CCA)was selected.CFD technique was used to establish four three-dimensional(3-D)models of the carotid bifurcations,including one model of a real patient and three models of presumptive surgery.The hemodynamic analysis was performed with these models so as to explore the development mechanism of TCAS and to discuss the selection of suitable surgical plan.Results In tandem stenosis,the stenosis was preferentially formed in CCA and subsequently led to ICA stenosis.The local hemodynamic situation in TCAS was more complex and more risky than in single carotid artery stenosis.In tandem stenosis,the treatment of one stenosis site would affect the blood flow at the next stenosis site and cause restenosis or plaque rupture.Conclusion In treating patients with TCAS,CFD simulation examination should be performed when the surgical plan is formulated,which can help clinicians to predict the postoperative changes in blood flow and to choose the appropriate surgical plan.
