Objective To compare the clinical results of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)reconstruction using anterior tibial muscle tendons allograft and hamstring tendons autograft.Methods According to the graft used for ACL reconstruction,60 patients with chronic ruptures of ACL were divided into group A(30 patients,using anterior tibial muscle tendons allograft)and group B(30 patients,using semitendinosus and gracilis tendons autograft).The average follow-up periods after surgery were 29.4 and 31.6 months respectively.Lysholm,Tegner,IKDC clinical rating scales and KT2000 were used for evaluation pre-and post-operation.The muscle strength of the extension,flexion,internal rotation and external rotation of knees was evaluated by the isokinetic tester.Results There were statistically significant differences in Lysholm,Tegner,IKDC clinical rating scales and KT2000 results between pre-and postoperation(P<0.01).However,there were no statistically significant differences between group A and group B after operation(P>0.05).The Isokinetic muscle strength tester showed that the knee muscle strength of the internal rotation and flexion were decreased post-operative in group B,rather than group A,which showed no significant differences between pre-and post.operation(P<0.05).Conclusion For ACL reconstruction under arthroscopy,anterior tibial muscle tendons allograft was a favorable substitute for autograft materials for its convenience,satisfactory clinical effect and less complications.

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is known as fluctuations of heart rate associated with breathing. It has been increasingly used as a noninvasive index of cardiac vagal tone in psychophysiological research recently. Its analysis is often influenced or distorted by respiratory parameters, posture and action, etc. This paper reviews five methods of quantification, including the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), peak valley RSA (pvRSA), cosinor fitting, spectral analysis, and joint timing-frequency analysis (JTFA). Paced breathing, analysis of covariance, residua method and msRSA per liter tidal volume are adjustment strategies of measurement and analysis of RSA in this article as well. At last, some prospects of solutions of the problems of RSA research are given.

Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nano-particles were prepared by the chemical co-precipitation, their characteristics were observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and thermal analysis system, and etc. The temperature changes of the nano-particles of Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 and its magnetic fluid explored in radiofrequency(RF,200 KHz, 4 KW) were measured. The proliferation ratio of L929 cells cultured in soak of Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nano-particles were observed. The experiment indicates that the magnetic particles were about 40 nm diameter in average, round, had strong magnetism, and were proved to be consistent with the standard data of chart of XRD. Its magnetic fluid exposed to RF could be heated up to temperature range from 40 degrees C to 51 degrees C due to the amount of the magnetic nano-particles and intensity of the alternating magnetic field. Magnetic nano-particles were found to have no obvious cytotoxicity to L929 cells.

To examine the role of nitric oxide in the beta-adrenergic vasodilation of epicardial coronary arteries in dogs, 12 dogs were instrumented for measurement of left anterior descending coronary artery diameter by transthoracic echocardiography before and after dobutamine (5 microg/kg/min IV) with and without intracoronary infusion of NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) (1 mg/kg). In all 12 dogs, the diameter of left anterior descending coronary artery increased significantly from 2.35 +/- 0.25 mm to 2.59 +/- 0.24 mm (P<0.001) after dobutamine administration. In 6 of the 12 dogs, the percent change in left anterior descending coronary artery diameter induced by dobutamine decreased significantly from 12.5% +/- 8.6% to -1.5% +/- 5.4% (P<0.05) after the administration of intracoronary L-NMMA (1 mg/kg for 5 min) to block nitric oxide synthesis from L-arginine. The study demonstrated that nitric oxide formation contributes to the beta-adrenergic dilatory response of epicardial coronary arteries to dobutamine in dogs.

Objective To compare the systemic pathologic physiology parameter changes in sheep drowning in freshwater and seawater. Methods The experimental animals were healthy crossbred sheep. According to the envelope method, 24 sheep were randomly divided into two groups, with 12 animals in each group. The animals in both groups were subjected to mechanical ventilation and analgesia and sedation, the drowning models were reproduced by injecting 10-25 mL/kg of seawater or freshwater into the endotracheal tube of animals. The changes in hemodynamics before drowning, immediately after drowning (immediately after water injection) and 30, 60, and 120 minutes after drowning in both groups were recorded. The urine color changes after drowning and occurrence time were recorded. The animals were sacrificed at 120 minutes after drowning, and heart, kidney, liver, spleen and intestine were harvested for pathological observation under light microscope using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Results ① The changes in systemic hemodynamic: there was no significant difference in hemodynamics before drowning between the two groups.Compared with before drowning, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO), left ventricular maximum systolic force index (dPmax), and pulmonary wedge pressure (PAWP) immediately after drowning in both seawater and freshwater groups were significantly increased, which showed a decrease tendency with drowning time prolongation. Compared with drowning immediately, dPmax at 30 minutes after freshwater drowning was significantly decreased (mmHg/s: 919.83±14.51 vs. 2 628.42±59.75, P < 0.01), which was below the level before drowning till 120 minutes. CO at 30 minutes after freshwater drowning was retreated as compared with drowning immediately, but it was still higher than that before drowning (L/min: 8.25±0.66 vs. 5.75±0.73, P < 0.01). Global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) and PAWP at 120 minutes after freshwater drowning were decreased to the level before drowning [GEDV (mL): 642.92±7.29 vs. 638.25±7.00, PAWP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 5.83±1.19 vs. 5.42±1.08, both P > 0.05]. Compared with immediately after drowning, MAP, CO and PAWP at 30 minutes after seawater drowning were significantly lowered [MAP (mmHg): 90.50±3.58 vs. 159.42±3.18, CO (L/min): 2.37±0.45 vs. 10.33±0.73, PAWP (mmHg): 4.17±0.72 vs. 11.75±1.82, all P < 0.01], which were lower than those before drowning till 120 minutes. After drowning for 30 minutes, MAP, CO and PAWP in seawater group were significantly lower than those in freshwater group [MAP (mmHg): 90.50±3.58 vs. 117.42±1.78, CO (L/min): 2.37±0.45 vs. 8.25±0.66, PAWP (mmHg): 4.17±0.72 vs. 24.83±1.27], dPmax was significantly increased (mmHg/s: 1 251.42±62.50 vs. 919.83±14.51, all P < 0.01), and the tendency continued till 120 minutes. There was no significant difference in HR at all the time points between the two groups. ② The changes in urine: after freshwater drowning, the animals had hemoglobinuria and lasted until the end of the experiment, and the time of hemoglobinuria occurrence was at 20-35 minutes after drowning with an average of (25.30±5.15) minutes. After seawater drowning, the change in urine was not found until the end of the experiment.③ The variations of each organ tissue in pathology and hematology at 120 minutes after drowning: after freshwater drowning, the systemic tissue edema was found in organs such as heart, kidney, liver, spleen, and small intestine. After seawater drowning, there were different degrees of edema in the systemic organs, and some of them shrank. Conclusions After freshwater drowning, the animals showed decreased dPmax, increased CO and blood volume, edema and hemolysis of the tissue cells. After seawater drowning, CO and blood volume decreased, and some tissue cells were in atrophy.

With continuous improvement of people's living standards, great efforts have been paid to environmental protection. Among those environmental issues, soil contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons has received widespread concerns due to the persistence and the degradation difficulty of the pollutants. Among the various remediation technologies, in-situ microbial remediation enhancement technologies have become the current hotspot because of its low cost, environmental friendliness, and in-situ availability. This review summarizes several in-situ microbial remediation technologies such as bioaugmentation, biostimulation, and integrated remediation, as well as their engineering applications, providing references for the selection of in-situ bioremediation technologies in engineering applications. Moreover, this review discusses future research directions in this area.
