BACKGROUND: For its extensive sources and specific biological characteristics, heterogeneous deproteinized bone (DPB) as the tissue-engineered scaffold material gets a good application prospect in repair of large segmental bone defects.OBJECTIVE: To prepare scaffold material by compositing modified heterogeneous DPB with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP2) and evaluate the osteogenic ability in repairing large segmental long bone defects in large-sized animals.METHODS: Twenty-four goats were randomly and evenly divided into three groups: DPB, autologous bone, and DPB+rhBMP2. Bone defects (20% in length) were made in the middle and lower segments of the right tibia of each goat, and according to group design,different bone grafts were implanted and fixed using semi-ring slot external fixer. At 4-24 weeks after surgery, X-ray examination was performed once every other 4 weeks. At 24 weeks after surgery, newly formed bones were taken out for determining the repair effects of bone defects through duat-energy X-ray analysis, histological observation, and biomechanical analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The prepared DPB exhibited a three-dimensional porous structure, with a porosity of (78.5±6.45)% and pore size of (472.5±7.02) μm. Time-dependent bone repair was found in each group. Results regarding anti-compression test, three-point anti-bend test, and anti-torsion test were greatest in the autologous bone group, followed by the DPB+rhBMP2 group, and lastly the DPB group. There were no significant differences in tibial bone density, bone mineral content,anti-compression pressure and ultimate pressure, anti-bending load and ultimate toad, anti-torsion torque and ultimate torque between autologous bone group, DPB+rhBMP2 group and normal bone control group. These findings indicate that modified heterogeneous DPB composited with rhBMP2 has osteogenic ability equivalent to autologous bone in repairing large segmental long bone defects in goat tibias. Therefore, it can be applied as tissue-engineered scaffold material.

The optic nerve disease is a kind of diseases that seriously affect the visual function. In recent years, magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging ( DTI ) technology has been widely applied in the field of optic nerve diseases. Compared with the ophthalmic testing, such as optical coherence tomography imaging, visual evoked potential, field of vision, this method has obvious advantages. It not only can directly show the morphology changes of the optic nerve, visual pathway and visual cortex, but also can quantitatively analyze the morphological and pathological changes of the optic nerve, visual pathway and the visual cortex. This article reviews the imaging principle of diffusion tensor imaging, the progress and development prospect of diffusion tensor imaging in the study of the optic nerve diseases.

Nowadays, LAN can't meet the requirements of field communication, and WLAN is playing more and more important role for its strong transmission ability and high mobility. This paper introduces the application of WLAN to filed medicine.

ObjectiveTo observe effect of head and body acupuncture and moxibustion on stroke.Methods183 stroke patients were randomly divided into 3 groups, head acupuncture and moxibustion, body acupuncture and moxibustion, and head body acupuncture and moxibustion. After two months treatment, effects of 3 groups were evaluated.ResultsThere were no differences between head group and body group, body group and head body group, but there was significantly difference between head body group and head group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe head body acupuncture and moxibustion can gain the best clinical effect on stroke patients compared with simply head or body acupuncture and moxibustion.

AIM: To investigate the characteristics and surgical management of retinal detachment (RD) after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in myopia.METHODS: Documents of patients with RD observed in 18342 eyes (9 598 patients) who underwent LASIK were retrospectively reviewed. None of the patients had history of corneal or other diseases before LASIK and preoperative fundus examination was performed. Patients were followed for a mean of 20 months and the clinical features of the eyes which developed RD after LASIK were investigated.RESULTS: Six patients including 2 males and 4 females developed RD, and the incidence of RD after LASIK was 0.33‰. Mean pre-LASIK myopia in these 6 eyes was 9.33D.None of these eyes had prophylactic treatment history of any retinal lesions. Mean time interval between LASIK and RD development was 9.2 months. All RDs happened spontaneously and were managed with vitrectomy and other techniques.Retinal reattachment was achieved at the first retinal detachment surgery in all 6 eyes (100%) at mean follow-up of 9.3months.CONCLUSION: RD after LASIK is not common. The study suggests no cause-effect relationship between RD and LASIK procedure in myopic eyes. However, clinicians should still be aware of retinal pathology in patients undergoing LASIK.

AIM: To assess the efficacy and safety of prophylactic laser photocoagulation for retinal breaks before laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in myopic eyes.METHODS: From April 2000 to April 2004, totally 1 845 eyes ( 1 233 patients ) requesting LASIK had a fundus examination with indirect ophthalmoscopy before the surgery. They were divided into two groups according to the presence (Group 1) or absence of retinal breaks (Group 2). All patients with retinal breaks, though they were asymptomatic, underwent prophylactic laser photocoagulation to seal the breaks before LASIK.RESULTS: Patient age ranged from 18 to 43 ( 25.3±5.7) yaers old. Mean preoperative spherical equivalent refraction (PSER) was -7.44± 2.13 D (range, -1.50 to -14.50 D). Retinal breaks were identified and treated in 37eyes (2.05%) of 32 patients;1 808 eyes of 1 201 patients had no retinal breaks. No statistical difference was found in age ( P ＞0.05) or gender (P ＞0.05) between the two groups. Significant difference of PSER was noted between Group 1 (-9.41± 4.15D) and Group 2 (-7.52±3.71D) (P＜0.05). During a mean 14mo follow-up, none of the patients developed retinal detachment.CONCLUSION: The efficacy and safety of prophylactic laser photocoagulation for retinal breaks was confirmed.Retinal breaks should be identified and treated by photocoagulation in eyes before LASIK for myopia.

During the orthopedic clinical teaching for interns,such methods as raising high-toned professional ethics,strengthening basic skills of orthopedics developing all-round scientific clinical thought to guide interns to correctly treat employment and taking the entrance exams for postgraduate schools,so as to improve the orthopedic teaching quality and attain the target of orthopedic clinical teaching.

Objective To investigate the perfusion characteristics of intraductal breast lesion by real-time gray-scale contrast ultrasound and to determine the value of real contrast ultrasound in the diagnosis of breast masses.Methods A total of 30 breast lumps by ultrasound contrast enhancement were observed from the enhanced level.An enhanced mode and enhanced border were observed when the lesion was clear.The perfusion characteristics were compared between the benign and malignant lesions.Results Thirty breast lumps include 17 benign lumps and 13 benign lumps by pathological operation.After injected with the microbubble contrast medium,all breast lumps enhanced to varied extent.And malignant lesions showed significant enhancement for more than 3 grade(69.2%,9/13).The radial enhancement around lesion were mainly observed in the malignant lesions (P＜0.05).Conclusion The microvascular perfusion of breast intraductal lesions can be clearly displayed by real-time gray-scale contrast-enhanced ultrasound.The feasibility of differentiation between benign and malignant lesions according to their perfusion characteristics appears to be promising.
