BACKGROUND:Implantation of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) alone, without support vectors, is easy to be flushed away by the blood flow, and thus limits the osteogenesis and angiogenesis.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of combination of calcium phosphate cement (CPC), BMP-6/VEGF in bone defect repair.
METHODS:Defect models of the bilateral medial femoral condyle were prepared in New Zealand white rabbits. Then, the medial femoral condyle was filed with CPC/BMP-6/VEGF, CPC/BMP-6, and CPC, respectively, in the left side, but nothing in the right side as control. After 8 and 16 weeks of implantation, the hard tissue slices were prepared for histological observation and scanning electron microscope observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al three kinds of materials showed good biocompatibility, and no obvious inflammation was found. After 8 weeks of implantation, the junction of the CPC/BMP-6/VEGF and bone tissue was almost completely covered by newly formed trabecular bone. With the development of cement degradation, abundant osteoblasts could be found in the surface of newborn trabecular bone. After 16 weeks of implantation, an ongoing cement degradation and bone formation was seen. Moreover, newly formed bone tissue increased and became thicker. The cement in the interface was separated into smal pieces and closely interconnected with the surrounding tissues, and newly formed bone showed a mesh-like ingrowth into the cement. This newly formed bone was mature and could not be distinguished from the original trabecular bone. Both the degradation and osteogenesis of CPC and CPC/BMP-6 were much slower than that of CPC/BMP-6/VEGF (P < 0.05). This study demonstrates angiogenesis and osteogenesis in vivo through the additive effects of VEGF and BMP-6. CPC/BMP-6/VEGF can be an ideal bone substitute in bone repair.

BACKGROUND: Inappropriate size of tibia prosthesis wil affect the stability and long term curative effect of knee joint. Raising the tibia prosthesis bone coverage through preoperative analysis may further reduce the incidence of loosing and sinking of tibia prosthesis. OBJECTIVE: To select the appropriate prosthesis and maximize the tibia prosthesis bone coverage rate through the three dimensional reconstruction of CT and preoperative tibia osteotomy simulation among the patients preliminarily treated with total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: Total y 76 (84 knees) patients treated with total knee arthroplasty were enrol ed and randomly divided into test group (38 cases, 41 knees) and control group (38 cases, 43 knees). Al the patients in the test group were underwent CT scan and three-dimensional reconstruction of CT before operation. Preoperative tibia osteotomy was stimulated. The most appropriate tibia prosthesis was selected by comparatively analyzing the data of tibia osteotomy, and maximizing the tibial plateau prosthesis bone coverage. Three-dimensional reconstruction of CT was absence in the control group by contrast. Tibia plateau bone coverage of patients in these two groups after replacement was evaluated. The repair effect was evaluated during the fol ow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Total y 75 patients were fol owed up for 13 to 56 months. One patient in the test group withdrew from the study because of periprosthetic fractures. Analyzing from the fol ow-up after replacement, tibia plateau prosthesis coverage rates of test group and control group were (89.87±4.14)%, (83.15±5.21)%respectively; New York Hospital for Special Surgery scores were respectively (87.48±8.69) points and (82.37±10.14) points, the difference was statistical y significant (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the range of motion and postoperative complications between test and control groups (P > 0.05). These results suggest that choosing the most appropriate type of tibia prosthesis by applying three-dimensional reconstruction of CT and preoperative tibia osteotomy on patients treated with total knee arthroplasty can improve tibial plateau prosthesis bone coverage rate and is conductive to achieve a satisfactory repair effect.

Objective To analyze nucleophosmin (NPM1) gene mutations in exon 12 in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and evaluate the clinical appliance of three methods which are frequently used for detecting gene mutation. Methods Genomic DNA from bone marrow of 54 AML patients was detected by PCR for NPM1 exon 12 and screened by PCR-capillary electrophoresis, denature high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and direct sequencing separately. FLT3-ITD (FMS-like tyrosine kinease internal tandem duplication) was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis and PCR-capillary electrophoresis. Results Seven AML sample harbored NPM1 gene mutations. Five of them were the most common mutation, known as type A (an insertion of a TCTG tetranucleotide at position 960 bp). One of them was type D (an insertion of a CCTG tetranuclectide at position 960 bp). The new variant was a deletion of a TGGCAGTG sequence at 958 bp and insertion of a GCCCGCGGTTTA sequence instead. The detection ratio of the three methods was all 100% and capillary electrophoresis was more rapid, reliable and easier than the other two methods. Moreover it could detect FLT3-ITD simultaneously. The resolving power of DHPLC was affected by many factors. The direct sequencing method was tedious and the heterozygous sequence might be misread. Conclusions There is a new mutation at position 958 bp with a 12-nucleotide insertion and substitution. PCR-capillary electrophoresis is convenient to screen NPM1 mutations of AML in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the incidence of occult pancreatobiliary reflux and to evaluate its relation to gallbladder epithelial dysplasia and cancer. Methods From July 2006 to Feb 2008,956 cases underwent selective biliary procedure or preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopanereatography (ERCP), bile was collected and amylase was measured. All removed gallbladders were pathologically examined for dysplasia and cancer. Results Occult pancreatobihary reflux was found in 75 of 754 patients in this study, with an incidence of 9. 9%. The biliary amylase values in the patients with occult pancreatobiliary reflux and in controls were 7701±20 378 IU/L and 16±51 IU/L, respectively ( P <0. 01 ).Gallbladder dysplasia and cancer were found in 31.0% and 3.4% of the patients with occult pancreatobiliaryreflux, respectively, and both were higher than those in the patients without pancreatobiliary reflux ( P <0. 05). In the patients with occult pancreatobiliary reflux, the biliary amylase level with gallbladder dysplasia or cancer was 2388 ± 2745 IU/L and was higher than those without gallbladder dysplasia or cancer (P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions With an incidence of 9.9% in patients of normal pancreatobiliary junction,the occult pancreatobihary reflux may contribute to the pathogenesis of gallbladder epithelial dysplasia and cancer.

Objective:To understand the utilization situation of community health service institutions, the awareness of basic public health items and the degree of satisfaction of residents in Guangzhou City, so as to provide direction and reference for improving the quality of community health service in Guangzhou City.Methods:In December 2020, 1 050 residents in a district of Guangzhou City were selected by multi-stage random sampling method to fill out the questionnaire. Single factor analysis was used for Pearson chi-square test, and binary logistic regression analysis was used for multiple-factor analysis.Results:A total of 1 092 questionnaires were sent out and 1 050 were valid, with an effective rate of 96.2%. The average times of seeing a doctor or receiving other health services in community health service center in the past year were (4.60±4.10). The total awareness rate of basic public health services was 91.6%(962/1 050), and the total awareness rate of free public health services was 89.5% (940/1 050). The total scores of residents' satisfaction with community health service institutions were (4.61±0.75) points, among which the basic medical service scored the highest, and the institution facilities, system and basic information scored the lowest. Single factor analysis showed that 10 factors, such as type of medical insurance, preferred medical institution, walking time to community center and medical service time, were the influencing factors of residents' overall satisfaction. Multiple-factor analysis found that institutions and facilities, systems and basic conditions, basic medical services, medical expenses, the type of first-visited hospital were the four influencing factors of residents' overall satisfaction ( OR=21.294, 109.013, 18.203 and 20.989, respectively). Conclusion:The residents have a good utilization of community health services, and they have good awareness of public health service projects, but the residents' satisfaction with community health services still needs to be improved, especially in the aspects of facilities, equipment and service efficiency of medical staff.
