Objective To observe the long term results of intertrochanteric varus medial displacement osteotomy(IVMDO) for Perthes disease. Methods Thirty eight patients with Perthes disease treated with IVMDO were reviewed. The results were evaluated based on a criteria made by the authors including clinical and radiographic parameters. The duration of follow up ranged from 3 to 15 years, with an average of 7 years. Results Fifteen patients were evaluated as having excellent result, 17 good, 3 fair and 3 poor respectively. The overall excellent or good rate was 84.2%. Considering the relationship between the outcome and staging of the disease, the overall excellent or good rate was 94.7% in stage Ⅱ lesion, 85.7%in stage Ⅲ lesion, and 40.0% in stage Ⅳ lesion. Conclusion The treatment of Perthes disease with IVMDO has the advantages of simple manipulation, less trauma and good results, and is worthy of populariztion.

Latest researches have indicated that wogonin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, could sensitize tumor cells to apoptosis, selectively induce apoptosis in the malignant tumor cells, inhibit tumor angiogenesis, reverse drug resistance as well as promote tumor cell death synergistically with other anti-cancer agents. This paper sum-marizes the involving mechanisms of wogonin's anti-tumor effects.

Sixteen compounds were isolated from the aerial parts of Euphorbia sikkimensis by means of various chromatographic techniques such as silica gel, Sephades LH-20 and RP-18, and their structures were elucidated as naringenin (1), kaempferol (2), quercetin (3), kaempferol-3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (4), quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (5), quercetin-3-O-(2"-galloyl)-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (6), 5alpha, 8alpha-epidioxy-(22E, 24R)-ergosta-6,22-dien-3beta-ol (7), stigmast-5-ene-7-one-3beta-ol (8), 3beta-hydroxy4a, 14alpha-dimethyl-5alpha-ergosta-8, 24(28)-dien-7-one(9), beta-sitosterol (10) , 10-cucurbitadienol( 1) , scopoletin(12) , ethyl gallate(13), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (14), 3 betahydroxybenzeneethanol( 15) ,and 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-acetophenone (16) on the basis of spectroscopic data analysis. All the compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time, and compounds 1, 4-8, 15 are obtained from Euphorbia species for the first time.

Aim: To investigate gene expression spectra in human hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721 treated with gambogic acid (GA).Methods:Human cDNA microarray and RT-PCR technology were used to detect the changes in gene expression. Results: 31 genes in groups exposed to gambogic acid for 24 h and 56 genes for 48 h group were expessed differentially in comparison to the control group. Conclusior:The antitumor mechanism of GA might focus on apoptosis,metastasis as well as interfering with the cell cycle.

Aim To investigate the difference of aortic function between renal hypertension rat(2K1C) and renal hypertensive-hyperlipidemia rat(RHHR).Methods Animals were divided into 3 groups: the sham-operated group,RHHR and 2K1C model groups.The vascular function test was performed in vitro.The response of aortic ring to phenylephrine(PE),acetylcholine(ACh) and sodium nitroprusside(SNP) was measured.Then aortic ring was incubated with nitricoxide synthase inhibitor N-nitro-L-arginine-methyl-ester(L-NAME) and its response to Ach was observed.Results The contraction in response to PE was augmented in the two model groups.ACh-induced vasorelaxation was reduced in both model groups,and such relaxation was more depressed in RHHR than that in 2K1C.The ability of relaxation evoked by NO was impaired in two model groups.SNP elicited complete relaxation in three groups,but the sensitivity to SNP was more decreased in RHHR than those in sham-operated and 2K1C groups.Conclusion These findings suggest that the vasodilation function of aorta is more impaired in RHHR than that in 2K1C group.The decrease in utilization of vascular smooth muscle to NO induced by hyperlipidemia may contribute to the main cause.

This paper analyzes the reason of spurious image and discusses how to control quality and correct image for the requirement of quality control.

Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal administration of a mixture of butorphanol and ketamine on cAMP-PKA-CREB signal transductian pathway in the spinal dorsal ham of the rats with inflammatory pain. Methods Twenty-four male SD rats, weighing 240-280 g,in which intrathecal catheters were successfully placed, were divided into 4 groups randomly (n = 6 each): inflammatory pain group (group IP), butorphanol group (group B), ketamine group (group K), and butorphanol + ketamine group (group BK). The inflammatory pain was induced by injection of 5% formalin 50 μl into the plantar surface of left hind paw. Normal saline 10 μl, butorphannl 12.5 μg, ketamine 50 μg, and a mixture of butorphanol 12.5 μg and ketamine 50 μg was injected intrathecally 30 min before subcutaneous injection of formalin in group IP, B, K and BK respectively.Pain intensity score (PIS) was used to assess pain behavior every 5 min within an hour after subcutaneous injection of formalin. The animals were killed at 2 h after subcutaneous injection of formalin, and the L5 segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of protein kinase A (PKA) and phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein (p-CREB) expression using immunohistochemistry. Results Fonnahn administration induced pain behaviour expressed as two phases. PIS scores, PKA and p-CBEB expression, and staining scores were significantly lower during the fast and second phases in group BK than in group IP (P < 0.05 or 0.01), while no significant differences were found in the indices mentioned above between group B and IP and between group K and IP (P>0.05). Conclusion lntrathecal injection of a mixture of butorphanol and ketamine can reduce inflammatory pain in rats, and the mechanism may be related to the cAMP-PKA-CREB signal transduction pathway.
