To evaluate the treatment effect of the late avascular necrosis of femoral head with concentrated autologous bone marrow and impaction autologous bone graft. The clinical data of 35 patients with late avascular necrosis of femoral head treated with the above methods was analyzed retrospectively with the University of Pennsylvania staging system, and evaluated with Harris hip score system. Among the 35 patients, there were 8 at stage Ⅲ, 23 at stage Ⅳ and 4 at stage Ⅴ. The preoperative Harris hip scores ranged from 43-72 with the average scores of 49. The patients were followed up for at least one year with the mean time of 2 years and 3 months. Two patients (preoperative at stage Ⅴ) had received total hip replacement duo to severe pain and ostarthritis. The imageology in 5 patients showed that the femoral head appearance collapsed little compared with that before operation, but their subjective feelings were well. All the femoral heads of left patients remained the shape after operation, complains of pain disappeared or lessened. The overall successful rate was 94% (33/35). In Harris scale, there was 1 patient with 92 scores, 17 with 80-89 scores, 3 with 70-79 scores and 2 patients

Continuous drug monitoring is a promising alternative to current therapeutic drug monitoring strategies and has a strong potential to reshape our understanding of pharmacokinetic variability and to improve individualised therapy.This review highlights recent advances in biosensing technologies that support continuous drug monitoring in real time.We focus primarily on aptamer-based biosensors,wearable and implantable devices.Emphasis is given to the approaches employed in constructing biosensors.We pay attention to sensors'biocompatibility,calibration performance,long-term characteristics stability and measurement quality.Last,we discuss the current challenges and issues to be addressed in continuous drug monitoring to make it a promising,future tool for individualised therapy.The ongoing efforts are expected to result in fully integrated implantable drug biosensing technology.Thus,we may anticipate an era of advanced healthcare in which wearable and implantable biochips will automatically adjust drug dosing in response to patient health conditions,thus enabling the management of diseases and enhancing individualised therapy.

Waterborne viruses that can be harmful to human health pose significant challenges globally,affecting health care systems and the economy.Identifying these waterborne pathogens is essential for preventing diseases and protecting public health.However,handling complex samples such as human and waste-water can be challenging due to their dynamic and complex composition and the ultralow concentration of target analytes.This review presents a comprehensive overview of the latest breakthroughs in waterborne virus biosensors.It begins by highlighting several promising strategies that enhance the sensing performance of optical and electrochemical biosensors in human samples.These strategies include optimizing bioreceptor selection,transduction elements,signal amplification,and integrated sensing systems.Furthermore,the insights gained from biosensing waterborne viruses in human sam-ples are applied to improve biosensing in wastewater,with a particular focus on sampling and sample pretreatment due to the dispersion characteristics of waterborne viruses in wastewater.This review suggests that implementing a comprehensive system that integrates the entire waterborne virus detection process with high-accuracy analysis could enhance virus monitoring.These findings provide valuable insights for improving the effectiveness of waterborne virus detection,which could have sig-nificant implications for public health and environmental management.

[Abstract] Objective: :To study the effects of IL-34 over-expression on malignant biological behavior of acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL) cells. Methods: The lentiviral vector pCDH-GFP for over-expressing IL-34 was constructed and infected into AMoL cell lines (THP1 and MOLM-13). Then its effects on proliferation, colony forming and cell cycle as well as apoptosis were tested by the MTS, colony formation assay and Annexin-V/PI staining, respectively. The cell differentiation phenotypes were assessed by fflow cytometry. Nude mice xenograft model was established to observe the tumor size and mass as well as the macrophages recruitment. Results: qPCR analysis showed that the expression of IL-34 mRNAin THP1-IL-34 and MOLM-13-IL-34 cells was nearly 4 000 and 3 000 folds higher than their respective control cells (all P<0.01), indicating that AMoL cell lines over-expressing IL-34 were successfully established. In vitro study showed that over-expression of IL-34 in AMoL cell lines promoted their proliferation potential(72 h:[0.738±0.003] vs [0.646±0.008]; [0.290±0.004] vs [0.247±0.004]; all P<0.01) and colony formation ([127.00 ± 3.37] vs [86.00±4.08]; [160.70±4.70] vs [116.70±3.93]; all P<0.01), whereas had little effect on apoptosis (all P>0.05). Over-expression of IL-34 promotedAMoLcell differentiation towards monocyte-macrophage lineage as the expressions of the monocyte-macrophage markers, CD11b and CD14, were increased whereas the expression of immature marker, CD71, was decreased in AMoL cell lines over-expressing IL-34(all P<0.05). Nude mice xenograft model showed that IL-34 over-expression stimulated macrophage recruitment in tumor tissues (P<0.01). Conclusion: Over-expression of IL-34 in human AMoL cell lines promotes their proliferation, colony forming potential and differentiation towards monocyte-macrophage lineage. Furthermore, IL-34 participates in the process of macrophages recruitment in vivo.
