Objective To observe the effect of exercise on the expression of TNF-α in the adipose tissue of insulin resistant rats fed a high fat diet. Methods Thirty healthy male rats were randomly divided into a high fat di- et group and a normal chow group. Eighteen weeks later, the high fat group was randomly divided into a resting group fed with the high fat diet only, and an exercise group fed the high fat diet, but receiving swimming training for 6 weeks. Changes in their metabolism of glucose and lipids were observed, and the insulin sensitivity index was calcu-lated. Meanwhile, the level of TNF-α mRNA in their adipose tissue was detected with a real-time fluorescence quan-titative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and protein in the adipose tissue was measured using Western blotting. Results After 18 weeks of high fat diet feeding, the insulin sensitivity index of the high fat diet group decreased sig-nificantly as compared to the normal chow group, suggesting that insulin resistance had been acquired in the high fat diet group. 24 weeks later, the insulin sensitivity index of the resting group had decreased further, again significantly when compared to the normal chow group. Compared to the resting group, the insulin sensitivity index of exercise group was significantly higher, and the expression of TNF-α mRNA and protein in their adipose tissue was significant- ly increased. Conclusion Insulin resistance can be induced by high fat diet feeding. Exercise can improve insulin resistance by increasing the expression of TNF-α in adipose tissue.

Objective To describe the operative procedures.fracture patterns and clinical outcomes of treatment of posterior column tibial plateau fractures.Methods From February 2005 to August 2006,36 patients with posterior column tibial plateau fracture were operated on.Twenty patients were treated with open reduction and buttress plate fixation via a posterior approach.They were 13 males and 7 females,with a mean age of 38.5(ranging from 29 to 52)years.The other 16 patients were operated on via anterior plus posterior approaches.They were 11 males and 5 females,with a mean age of 37.3(ranging from 27 to 49) yeam. Results All were followed up for an average of 14.5(ranging from 12 to 15)months.All frac- tures got united with an average radiographic bone union time of 15.7(ranging from 11 to 16)weeks and an average full weight-bearing time of 17.6(range from 13 to 21)weeks.The mean HSS(The Hospital for special surgery)score of all these patients at 12 months postoperatively were 83.4(ranging from 68 to 92). There were 1 case of inferior medial genicular vessel injury during the operation,1 wound dehiscence and 1 partial incision necrosis postoperatively which were all eventually healed with conservative treatments.Three cases of numbness within the posterior lower part of the calf occurred postoperatively.No screw toggle,slide, dislodging or fixation failure was found during follow-up.There were no significant differences both between TPA and PA on radiographies and between immediately after operation and 12 months psstoperatively. Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation with buttress plates via a posterior or anterior plus posterior approaches is appropriate for treatment of posterior column tibial plateau fractures.

OBJECTIVE To study the possibility of air sterilization with solution of camphor leaves. METHODS Every six adjacent sickrooms that had same volume from 9 different clinical sectors were randomly selected for testing.Air of all sickrooms were sterilized by atomizing with solution of camphor leaves that was rough made by boiling and filtering and by direct irradiating with ultraviolet ray respectively.And then screened the sterilization effect of two methods respectively by air culture. RESULTS After sterilization with 100% solution of camphor leaves,all sickrooms were in line with standard of class Ⅲ(500 CFU/m~3),and 70% sickrooms were in line with class Ⅱ(200CFU/m~3).Both atomizing with solution of camphor leaves and direct irradiating with ultraviolet ray showed obvious effect,the result of air culture indicated that CFU of microorganisms were significant differrent between pre-sterilization and post-sterilization in both methods(P0.25). CONCLUSIONS Camphor leaves are very effective for sterilization and deserve to spread.
