Objective To evaluate the outcomes of maxillary protraction in the treatment of skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusions in early mixed dentition. Methods Fourteen patients with skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusions in early mixed dentition were treated with maxillary protraction for one year with oral active appliance bonded face mask.Cephalometric records were analyzed to assess the changes of maxillo-facial structure of the hard tissue before and after treatment. Results The anterior crossbite was unlocked in all the patients,and the maxilla moved downwards and forwards.Point A moved forwards,and angle SNA and ANB significantly increased.The mandible rotated downward and backward,and the Wits values significantly increased,which led to the correction of a skeletal class Ⅲ relationship.Maxillary length and protrusion significantly increased,and facial profile improved obviously. Conclusion Maxillary protraction works well in the treatment of skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusions in early mixed dentition,and can reduce the chances of later orthognathic surgery.

Objective To discuss the treatment of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) with unstable prosthesis by replacement of long-stem femoral prosthesis and internal fixation.Methods From December 2005 to December 2014,15 PFF patients with unstable prosthesis (15 hips) following were treated at our department.They were 10 men and 5 women,aged from 64 to 89 years (mean,76.2 years).Their primary surgeries included total hip arthroplasty in 13 cases and biological bi-polar replacement of femoral head in 2.Two prostheses were cement and 13 biological.By Vancouver classification,9 cases were type B2,and 6 type B3.The unstable prostheses in the 15 cases were replaced by long-stem femoral ones,followed by internal fixation.At the last follow-ups,clinical outcome were evaluated by Harris scoring and images of PFF by Beals & Tower criteria.Complications were documented.Results One died 4 months after operation.The other 14 patients were followed up for an average of 4.5 years (from 6 months to 9 years).Fracture union was achieved in 12 cases after an average of 3.9 months (from 3 to 9 months).Nonunion occurred in 2 cases.Imaging evaluation revealed 9 excellent cases,3 good ones and 2 poor ones.The Harris scores at the last follow-up averaged was 82.3 points (from 50 to 100 points).Deep vein thrombosis occurred preoperatively in one case and posterior tibial vein thrombosis occurred in 2 cases respectively on day 3 and day 10 postoperatively.No such complications occurred as malunion,fixation failure,dislocation or prosthesis loosening.Conclusion Satisfactory outcomes can be achieved by replacement of long-stem femoral prosthesis combined with appropriate fixation for treatment of PFF with unstabrosthesis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of hypoxia on the human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells two pore domain potassium channels TASK-1 and the regulation of non-receptor tyrosine kinase c-Src in this process.

METHODSThe cultured human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (hPASMCs) were divided into: normal group, hypoxia 30 minute group, hypoxia 6 hours group and hypoxia 48 hour group, and hypoxia 48 hour + PP2 group, hypoxia 48 hour + PP3 group, hypoxia 48 hour + bpV group. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle, RT-PCR and Western blot technique were carried out to detect the expression changes of TASK-1 mRNA and protein in different groups.

RESULTS(1) Cell Cycle Show: Compared with normal control group, with prolonged hypoxia, the percentages of hPASMCs in S phases of cell cycle were increased. While compared with hypoxia 48 hour group, the percentages of hypoxia 48 hour + PP2 group hPASMCs in S phases of cell cycle were decreased. The expression of TASK-1 mRNA on hPASMCs in acute hypoxia 6 hour group was increased, while the expression of TASK-1 protein on hPASMCs in the acute and chronic hypoxia group was decreased, and the expression of TASK-1 mRNA on hPASMCs in the chronic hypoxia group was decreased; After pre-incubation of a potent and selective inhibitor of the Src family of protein tyrosine kinases PP2, the expression of TASK-1 mRNA and protein in hypoxia 48 hour group was increased, however after pre-incubation of the inhibitor of the Src family of protein tyrosine phosphatase bpV, the expression of TASK-1 protein in hypoxia 48 hour group was decreased.

CONCLUSIONHypoxia promotes human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, and non-receptor tyrosine kinase c-Src may participate in the expression of two pore domain potassium channels TASK-1 regulated by hypoxia. Therefore, we hypothesized that TASK-1 channels and c-Src participatein the acute and chronic hypoxic human pulmonary vasoconstriction.
