[Objective]To retrospectively analyze 39 cases of surgical treatment of fibrous dysplasia of proximal femur,in order to propose a partition method which can be used to guide the surgical treatment,and probe the surgical treatment strategy according to the partition method of fibrous dysplasia of proximal femur. [Methods]The data on 39 cases of fibrous dysplasia of proximal femoral from 1998 to 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.The study determined extent of the lesion according to preoperative X-ray film and proposed partitioning method in accordance with the scope of proximal femoral involvement,analyzed the relation of partition type and surgical treatment,and evaluated the effect of surgical treatment through the postoperative localized lesions control and functional score(MSTS 93).[Results]According to the scope of 39 cases of lesions,combined with characteristics of proximal femoral anatomy,proximal femur was divided into four zones: area I,femoral shaft(below small protuberance);area II,intertrochanteric(small rotor to the neck base division);area III,femoral neck;area IV,the femoral head.Based on the above partition,lesions were divided into 7 types,type I,type II,type III,type I + II,type II + III,type II + III + IV,type I + II + III,type I + II + III + IV.Surgical treatment was performed mainly with curettage of bone lesions,bone grafting and fixation.Internal fixation included DHS,intramedullary nails,and artificial joint replacement,DHS was most common in area II involvement(57.58%),followed by area III involvement(24.24%).Intramedullary nail was most common in area I involvement(64.70%) and area II involvement(35.30%).For lesions involving ≥3 zones,joint replacement was carried out.The patients were all followed up,with a median time of 6.3 years(0.5-11 years).Local recurrence rate was12.82%(5 / 39),local deformity was not found deterious.The followed up results were satisfactory.The selected treatment was reasonable.[Conclusion]When making a surgical treatment regimen for fibrous dysplasia of the proximal femur,Surgeons should consider lesion characteristics,and choose a reasonable internal fixation to achieve better surgical results.Partition method proposed in this paper can be formulated as one of preoperative surgical treatment options.

Xiatianwu tablet is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), combined with modern TCM pharmacology and selected 33 famous traditional Chinese crude drugs to compose. Its recipe helps cure rheumatism, relax tendons, promote blood circulation to relieve pain, et al. Although Xiatianwu tablets are widely applied to clinical remedy such as rheumatic arthritis, lumbar disc hernia, osteoarthritis and so on, there is no report about its application in fracture. This article is to observe the efficacy of compound Xiatianwu tablets in elderly patients with osteoporotic distal radius fractures and its impact on the wrist function and complications. 180 elderly patients with osteoporotic distal radius fractures, from January 2011 to June 2014, were divided into observation group and control group by the method of random number table, each group had 90 cases. The control group were gave Caltrate D after manipulative reduction and plaster immobilization, observation group were treated with compound Xiatianwu tablets in the basis of the control group. Efficacy, wrist function and complication rates were observed in two groups after treatment. The excellent and good rate was 95.56% in observation group better than 77.78% in control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 4.712, P < 0.05). The complication rate in observation group was significantly lower compared with the control group (P < 0.05). This study shows that compound Xiatianwu tablets can improve the efficacy in elderly patients with osteoporotic distal radius fractures, reduce the incidence of complications and relieve the pain of patients which plays a significant role in improving the quality of life.

The fruit of Pandanus tectorius (PTF) has a long history of use as a folk medicine to treat hyperlipidemia in Hainan province, South China. Our previous studies have shown that the n-butanol extract of PTF is rich in caffeoylquinic acids and has an adequate therapeutic effect on dyslipidemic animals induced by high-fat diet. In this work, seven caffeoylquinic acids isolated from PTF were screened for the lipid-lowering activity in HepG2 hepatoma cells. Oil-Red O staining, microscopy and intracellular triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) quantification showed that 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3-CQA), 3, 5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3,5-CQA), and 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3,4,5-CQA) significantly inhibited lipid accumulation induced by oleic acid and decreased intracellular levels of TC and TG in a dose-dependent manner. These three caffeoylquinic acids showed no significant cytotoxicity at concentrations of 1 -50 μmol x L(-1) as determined by MTT assay. Realtime quantitative PCR revealed that 3-CQA and 3, 5-CQA significantly increased the expression of lipid oxidation-related genes PPARα, CPT-1 and ACOX1 while 3-CQA, 3, 5-CQA and 3,4,5-CQA decreased the expression of lipogenic genes SREBP-1c, SREBP-2, HMGR, ACC, FAS. Overall, 3-CQA, 3, 5-CQA and 3, 4, 5-CQA may be the principal hypolipidemic components in PTF which can decrease intracellular lipid accumulation through up-regulating the expression of lipid oxidative genes and down-regulating the expression of lipogenic genes.

Spermiogenesis is a complex process of differentiation and morphologic alteration, in which sperm acrosome formation is an important stage. Acrosome is an essential component of the sperm head, which develops in four distinct phases: Golgi, cap, acro- somal, and maturation, each supported by precise and orderly regulation of various genes. The regulatory genes which act on Golgi ap- paratus include GOPC, Hrb, SPATA16, PICK1, and CK2α', those involved in the cap phase are Fads2, syntaxin 2, Kdm3a, and UBR7, and participating in acrosomal and maturation phases are KIFC1, Rnf19a, and DPY19L2. The abnormalities of these genes may affect male fertility by influencing the connection of the nuclear dense lamina and acroplaxome with the nuclear membrane and then the fusion and transportation of vesicles. This review focuses on the genes involved in different phases of acrosome formation.

Objective To compare the differences and consistency of three criteria of metabolic syndrome(MS)including the third Report of the Adult Treatment Panel Ⅲ of National Cholesterol Education Program(NCEP-ATPⅢ),Chinese Diabetes Society(CDS)and International Diabetes Federation(IDF)used for evaluating in children and adolescents.Methods Four hundred and thirty-two overweight or obesity children and adolescents from Chuansha district of Pudong New Area of Shanghai were selected.Data of investigation of the risk factors of cardiovascular disease were reviewed.Anthropometric measurements and fast plasma glucose(FPG),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and dynamic blood pressure monitoring were performed.MS were identified according to NCEP-ATPⅢ criteria modified by Cook,CDS criteria modified by Liang,and IDF criteria,respectively.The consistency of the 3 criteria were studied.Results The number of subjects who met the criteria of MS were 31.0%,9.5% and 25.7% using Cook,Liang and IDF criteria,respectively.The conformity rate between Cook and Liang,Cook and IDF,Liang and IDF were 78.5%,89.1% and 83.8%,and the Kappa value were 0.378 20,0.719 18 and 0.465 37,respectively.Conclusions There are differences in consistency among the 3 criteria of MS.The agreement in the diagnosis of MS using Cook and IDF definition is higher than using Liang and other 2 definitions.The number of subjects who met the Cook criteria of MS is the most.The Cook definition may be more suitable for MS diagnosis in children and adolescents.A high conformity rate between Cook and and IDF criterion is proved.It is necessary to work out a universally accepted criterion adapted to children and adolescents.

Objective To assess the quality of reporting randomized controlled trials published in Chinese journal of radiology from 2000 to 2005.Methods A manual search was performed and 22 checklists of CONSORT statements and other self-established criteria were applied.Results Six volumes and 72 issues were investigated.There were total trials of 236 in 2186 literatures,and finally 3 randomized controlled trials(RCTs)(1.27%)were identified.In the 3 RCTs,there were 3 trials with methods of randomization,1 with endpoints measurement,1 with multi-centre,but without the prior calculation of sample size,blind methods,statistically probability,participant flow,compliance and negative results.Conclusion The quality of reporting randomized controlled trials of interventional radiology has been improved,but it did not meet fully the CONSORT statement.

Objective To evaluate prourodynamic study and somatosensory evoked potentials(SEPs)before and after operation of children with lipomyelomeningocele(LMMC)and its clinical significance.Methods Urodynamic study(UDS)and SEPs in 31 cases of LMMC who underwent microsurgical release within 1 week preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively were conducted.The 4 parameters used for UDS evaluation were bladder volume,compliance,detrusor activity and residual urine;parameters used for SEPs evaluation were latent period and amplitude.Results There was a statistics significant difference between operation and control group;the similar result was attented in the comparison of before and after operation,also in the comprison of the improved group and the group without improvement after operation.Conclusions UDS and SEPs investigation can provide guidance for the treatment of tethered cord syndrome(TCS)and evaluate clinical prognosis.These cases with the severity changing in UDS and somatosensory shall be avoided unnecessary action in operation.

Objective To explore the effects of surface modification of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] scaffold with typeⅠcollagen on the adhesion,proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs).Methods After PLGA-[ASP-PEG] materials were modified with typeⅠcollagen chemically,the collagen was coated onto the materials physically.The BMSCs obtained from rabbits were cultured on the modified PLGA-[ ASP-PEG] and on the unmodified PLGA-[ ASP-PEG] as control.The adhesion and proliferation behavior of the cells was analyzed and the expressions of osteogenie marker alkaline phosphatase,osteocalcin,osteopontin,typeⅠcollagen and core binding factor al were also detected.Results X-ray photoelectron spectrometry(XPS) confirmed that TypeⅠcollagen was grafted onto the surface of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] successfully and the collagen content on the materials modified chemically and physically was significantly increased.The abilities of adhesion and proliferation and the expressions of osteogenie makers of the BMSCs were significantly greater than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Since Type collagen I can improve the biocompatibility of PLGA- [ASP-PEG] scaffold materials,it can be used as a new way to optimize scaffolds in tissue engineering.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of topical tacrolimus for erosive oral lichen planus (EOLP). Methods Literatures published up to December 2013 were searched from PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, Chinese BioMedical Literature Database (CBM), and System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe (SIGLE). All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of topical tacrolimus for EOLP which compared with other interventions or a placebo were considered in this Meta-analysis. Two researchers collected data independently. The assessment of methodological quality was based on Cochrane Handbook and the materials were analyzed with the software Revman 5.2.5. The primary outcome measures were the symptoms (e.g. pain, discomfort) complained by patients. The secondary outcome measures included the improvement rate of clinical signs assessed by the investigators and the incidence of adverse effects (e.g. clinical candidiasis). Results A total of 9 RCTs involving 476 patients were finally included. The pooled odds ratio (OR) of clinical improvement for topical tacrolimusvs. topical corticosteroids was 1.19 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.64-2.22,I2: 44%]. Regarding to 0.1% tacrolimus and 0.03% tacrolimus, the pooledOR were 1.87 (95 %CI: 0.60-5.82) and 1.47 (95 %CI: 0.14-16.04) respectively in subgroup analysis. No serious adverse events were reported in topical tacrolimus group. Conclusions There was no evidence to support that topical tacrolimus for EOLP was more effective and safer than topical corticosteroids in this Meta-analysis. Clinical assessment criteria should be established and accepted by clinicians and researchers before further RCTs are undertaken.
