Methods: Type V cavities were prepared in 48 teeth of 2 dogs. rhBMP2 with zinc oxide(A) was lined on the bottom of 24 cavities, saline with zinc oxide(B) in 12 and zinc oxide eugentol cement(C) in 12. 0.5 g of tetracycline was orally administered to the dogs twice a day on day 24, 54, 83 and 111. On day 135, the teeth were extracted and processed for the quantitative observation of reparative dentin under a fluorescent microscope .Results: On day 135, the reparative dentine (expressed as "?m" of diameter of area) in group A, B and C was 825.04? 125.46, 315.33? 80.43 and 415.25? 90.75 respectively(P

Objective To investigate the effects of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)on acute myocardial functional lesion after severe craniocerebral injury.Methods Sixty five examples with severe craniocerebral injury are collected in the 253th hospital of PLA from February in 2009 to May in 2012,of whom glasgow coma scale was low or equal to 8 points.They are examined creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB),cardiac troponin T(cTnT),TNF-αand IL-6 for correlative analysis while they are emer-gency treated at the same time.Results The myocardial function of the observe group examined results:CK-MB(198.63±37.72) U/L,cTnT(548.17±49.58)pg/mL;injury factors examined results:TNF-α(39.93± 18.88)ng/mL,IL-6(469.61 ±73.66)ng/mL.It both has evidently difference between the control group and the observe group and has obviously correlation between the my-ocardial function and injury factors of the observe group (P <0.01),and they were positively correlated.Compared TNF-α,IL-6 in observe group,CK-MB(r>0.911 4)and cTnT(r>0.942 1)had statistically significant difference.Conclusion TNF-αand IL-6 all participate in the process of the acute myocardial functional lesion after severe craniocerebral injury.The inchoate interference and treatment against TNF-αand IL-6 are possible to have inhibited the high expression of TNF-αand IL-6 in the blood and to improve the myocardial functional lesion after severe craniocerebral injury.

Objective To investigate the correlation between tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,interleukin (IL)-6,platelet activating factor (PAF) with the blood coagulation disorder in severe craniocerebral injury.Methods Collected 65 subjects (observation group) with severe craniocerebral injury from January in 2009 to June in 2012 with the trauma index ≥17 points,glasgow coma scale ≤ 10 points,combined with other parts of the injury and died in the emergency department were excluded.Examined platelet count (PLT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),prothrombin time (PT),D-dimer (D-D),TNF-α,IL-6 and PAF meanwhile were emergency treated,selected the same period 43cases of health as control group,these indicators were compared.Results PLT in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group [(74.91 ± 30.70) × 109/L vs.(191.52 ± 23.31) × 109/L] (P ＜0.01),APTT,PT in observation group was significantly longer than that in control group [(69.44 ± 15.52) s vs.(22.47 ± 9.41) s,(30.37 ± 8.22) s vs.(9.57 ±4.53) s] (P ＜0.01),D-D,TNF-α,IL-6,PAF in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group[(1 934.92 ± 708.49) U/L vs.(105.78 ± 44.53) U/L,(39.93 ± 18.88) μg/L vs.(1.28 ±0.59) μg/L,(417.61 ±73.66) μg/L vs.(63.93 ±41.49) μ g/L,(16 359.91 ±4 321.92) ng/L vs.(3 823.45 ±529.72) ng/L](P＜0.01).PLT in observation group was negatively correlated with TNF-α,IL-6 and PAF (r =-0.929 2,-0.944 5,-0.932 4,P ＜ 0.01),APTT was positively correlated with TNF-α,IL-6 and PAF (r =0.910 2,0.932 7,0.978 6,P ＜0.01),PT was positively correlated with TNF-α,IL-6 and PAF (r =0.934 1,0.955 4,0.978 6,P ＜ 0.01),D-D was positively correlated with TNF-α,IL-6 and PAF (r =0.942 1,0.943 8,0.941 8,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions TNF-α,IL-6 and PAF all participate in the process of the blood coagulation disorder in severe craniocerebral injury.The inchoate interference and treatment such as lessening stress responses and inflammation responses against TNF-α,IL-6,PAF is possible to improve the blood coagulation disorder in severe craniocerebral injury and to decrease the death rate of patients.

Objective To explore the short-term and long-term efficacy of laparoscopic versus open liver resection(LLR)in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods The perioperative and follow-up data ofLLR(n = 43)and OLR(n = 73)for the treatment of HCC at the same period were analyzed respectively. Results There were no significant differences in the age,gender,Child-Pugh classification,liver cirrhosis, AFP,and hepatic virus affection between the 2 groups. 1 case in the LLR group was converted for the open surgery and another one case in the OLR group died in the perioperative time. However ,compared with OLR group ,the intraoperative blood loss of LLR group(P < 0.05)was larger and the mean operative time(P < 0.05)was longer. The liver function indicators of the regular hepatectomy subgroup were recovered more quickly(P<0.05),but the indicators of remaining subgroups were not significantly different. The postoperative ambulation time (P < 0.05), the postoperative eating time(P < 0.05),the postoperative hospital stay(P < 0.05)were all shorter. The VAS score was lower(P<0.05). There was no difference in the incidence and distribution of complications and the inci-dence of severe complications between the two groups(all P>0.05). The first and third year disease-free survival rates were 82.2%,53.8%for LLR and 91.5%,75.9%for OLR,respectively(χ2=0.55,P=0.46). The first and third 5 year overall survival rates were 94.2%,79.3%for LLR and 94.9%,47.3%for OLR,respectively(χ2=1.06, P=0.30). Conclusion LLR for HCC treatment is a safe and effective way with the advantages of minimal opera-tive trauma,quick recovery and significant short-term efficacy.

BACKGROUND:The type AO-C1 thoracolumbar acute spine injury is a kind of high-energy instable injury, can cause thoracolumbar fracture-dislocation, and mainly associated with spinal nerve injury. Generaly, al needs to posterior open reduction, decompression, bone graft fusion and multiple-segmental internal fixation of pedicle screw rod system, which causes excessive loss of spinal movement segment and a large number of application of internal fixators. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the treatment effect of posterior pedicle screw mono-segmental internal fixation for treatment of the type AO-C1 thoracolumbar vertebrae fracture-dislocations. METHODS:From January 2008 to December 2013, 17 cases of type AO-C1 thoracolumbar fracture-dislocation were folowed up. Al patients were treated with one-stage posterior open reduction and pedicle screw-rod fixation. Of them, eight cases received four screws and two rods for single-segment fixation in upper and lower vertebrae adjacent to intervertebral space after dislocation (4-screw 2-rod group). Nine cases received eight screws and two rods for multiple-segment fixation in the upper and lower vertebrae adjacent to intervertebral space after dislocation (8-screw 2-rod group). Operative time and intraoperative blood loss were compared between the two groups. The Cobb’s angle was measured on lateral X-ray film of two groups preoperatively and 1 week postoperatively and during the final folow-up. The neurological function was evaluated by Frankel classification. The visual analogue scale was adopted to assess the degree of low back pain. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Patients were folowed up for 1 to 5 years. Significant differences were detected in the operative time between the two groups, and operative time was better in the 4-screw 2-rod group than in the 8-screw 2-rod group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in intraoperative blood loss between the two groups. The deformity of fracture-dislocation had been corrected, and the pain of low back had significantly relieved in al patients after fixation. According to Frankel classification, two cases at Grade A were improved to Grade E, but eight cases at Grade A got no improvement after treatment. Two cases at Grade B were also improved to Grade E at the final folow-up. Significant differences in Cobb’s angle and visual analogue scale were detectable at 1 week postoperatively and during final folow-up as compared with preoperatively (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was visible between final folow-up and 1 week postoperatively. No significant difference in Cobb’s angle and visual analogue scale was observed between the 4-screw 2-rod group and 8-screw 2-rod group. Results indicate that there was no significant difference in the clinical efficacy between 4-screw 2-rod single-segment and 8-screw 2-rod multiple-segment fixation for treating type C1 thoracolumbar vertebrae fracture-dislocation. Therefore, AO-C1 thoracolumbar vertebrae fracture-dislocation could be treated with 4-screw 2-rod single-segment reduction fixation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and impact on performance indicators of coronary angio graphy, percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in day care ward of heart center. Methods 128 patients performing coronary angiography and receiving stent implantation or coronary artery bypass surgery when necessary from October 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The success rate of procedure, intraoperative and postoperative adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction and interventional complications: coronary artery spasm, dissection, perforation and occlusion, contrast agent allergy, upper extremity edema, patients with osteofascial compartment syndrome and radial artery occlusion), average hospitalization days and medical expenses were compared with patients at the same period in general ward. Results Seventy-six cases underwent coronary angiography, among whom 35 cases received stent implantation and 17 cases received coronary artery bypass grafting. The success rate was 100%. Adverse events were radial artery spasm in 5 cases, puncture site hematoma in 3 cases and contrast agent allergy in 1 case. Day care ward significantly shortened the average hospitalization days (P<0.05); there was a downward trend, although there was no statistical difference in hospitalization expenses (P>0.05). Conclusions Coronary angiography and revascularization at the day care ward model is safe and feasible in the heart center if diagnostic and therapeutic techniques are mature.

Objective:To explore the relationship between YKL-40 and the proliferation of breast cancer and its mechanism.Methods:The expression of YKL-40 in breast cancer MCF-7 cells was detected by immunofluorescence assay.Fluorescence microscope was used to observe the conversion efficiency,and Real-time PCR was used to screen the most effective YKL-40 siRNA.Expression levels of PI3K,P-PI3K,AKT,P-AKT of the PI3K/AKT pathway associated proteins was test by Western blot.At the same time,MTT and flow cytometry were validated by YKL-40 siRNA treatment of human breast cancer MCF-7 ceils,the differences of 24h,48h and 72h groups of cell proliferation ability and cell cycle.Result:MCF-7 cell express YKL-40 protein,mainly located in the cytoplasm.Real-time PCR show that siRNA01,siRNA02,siRNA03 compared with NC group YKL-40 gene silencing effect is remarkable.Among of them the strongest silencing effect is siRNA02 (P＜0.01),Western blot show the experimental group than the control group,Total PI3K and AKT remain unchanged while P-PI3K,P-AKT expression decreased (P＜0.05).In the experimental group,the number of G1 cells in the control group was increased (P＜0.01),while the S phase cells decreased (P＜0.01).MTT results showed that the experimental group compared with the control group,the proliferation ability is decreased(P＜0.01).Conclusions This study suggests that YKL-40 can be used as the upstream regulatory factor of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and affect the process of cell cycle in breast cancer,and then regulate the proliferation of breast cancer,YKL-40 may be a crucial target for the treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To build rat orthotopic liver transplantation model and use this model as an experimental animal model for further research about liver transplantation.Methods Based on the classic two-cuff technique,a variety of skills were integrated,such as abdominal aorta perfusion first before ligation,suprahepatic inferior vena cava single continuous suture,preoperative and postoperative rehydration,hepatic portal vein and infrahepatic vena cava blocked by mosquito's haemostatic forceps.At last,the postoperative survival rates of 2 days and 2 weeks were recorded.Results Donors' operation time was (35±2) min,cuffing time was (7.0±1.5) min,receptors' operation time was (80±15) min,anhepatic phase was (21±3) min.The 2-day survival rate was 92 ％ (46/50) and 2-week survival rate was 86 ％ (43/50).Conclusion To some extent,the improved methods can not only reduce the difficulty of orthotopic liver transplantation operation,but also to create a uniform,stable and reliable orthotopic liver transplantation model.

Objective To investigate the value of the manipulative reduction monitored by ultrasound for the intussusception of children.Methods One hundred and three intussusception children were dynamically observed by ultrasound,and were pressed softly beginning with the head of the intussusceptum,and observed whether there was intestinal peristalsis, and whether the intussuseeptum shortened and disappeared finally.The results were analyzed based on the size of the masse, the length of the intussusceptum,and the patients' age,and compared with the X-ray high pressure air enema.Results Fifty (48.5 ％) intussusception children were recovered.The recoverability was related to the size of the mass, the length of the intussusceptum, and the age of the children (level of cooperation).Thirty-nine patients were recovered after reexamined one hour later.The recoverability of manipulative reduction monitored by ultrasound for the mass diameter less than 2.0 cm was obviously higher than that by X-ray high pressure air enema.Conclusions Manipulative reduction monitored by ultrasound could cure almost half of the intussusception children patients directly.It could decrease the number of patients who were treated with high-pressure air enema,it could relieve the pain of the children and reduce their medical expenses.It also could be acted as a screening way to other therapies like high pressure air enema.
