Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a vital therapeutic tool for hip terminal disease. Frequently, hidden blood loss exists in the postoperation, which seriously affect the postoperative rehabilitation of patients. It is urgent need to solve the problem that how to fundamentally prevent and reduce hidden blood loss after THA. Although THA has its own operational reason in blood loss, and also relates to a variety of risk factors, the mechanism of hidden blood loss is not clear. Tranexamic acid has a significant role in preventing perioperative blood loss, and the correlation of hidden blood loss and fibrinolytic mechanism would be confirm necessarily in the future,which will produce positive significance in completing the mechanism of hidden blood loss.

Purpose To Prepare anti- HIV-1 gp120 monoclonal antibodies and to identify the specificity of antibodies in order to provide technique for preparing HIV remedial antibodies. Methods The gene fragment of HIV-1 gp120 was connected to PEGX-4T-2 prokaryotic expressing vector. The vector was cut by enzyme. GST-HIV protein was expressed by E. coli XL1-blue. The BALB/c mice were immunized with purified GST-HIV antigen, and then the fusion of mice spleen cell and myeloma cell SP2/0 was executed as the routine cell-fusion technique. Positive cells were screened by Indirect ELISA. Immuno-blotting assay and Western blot identified the specificity of antibodies. Results External gene section from the recombinant plasmid by sequencing showed the same size of HIV-1 gp120 gene sequences. An external expressed protein band of 32 KD was obtained after purified protein SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. It indicated that six strains of hybridoma cells secreting special monoclone antibodies had been obtained. ELISA results showed that six strains monoclonal antibodies only reacted to HIV-1 gp120 antigen. Western blot results showed that a band with molecular weight 32 kDa was obtained, which could interact with HIV-1 gp120 monoclonal antibody. Conclusion Six strains of hybridoma cells secreting special monoclone antibodies had been obtained. The prepared monoclonal antibodies have established a basis for HIV remedial antibody.

Orexin is a new neuropeptide related to diet intake and regulation of endocrine and metabolic functions. Rat model with insulin resistance (IR) was induced by high fructose diet and the extent of IR was assayed by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp technique. The results showed that high fructose diet might induce IR and results in disturbance between orexin and leptin. Blood glucose, serum insulin, lipid metabolism and leptin may participate in the regulation of orexin.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of the occlusal surface height of a mandibular posterior implant-supported single crown on stress in bone tissues.Methods:Three-dimensional finite element models of the implant-supported single crown replacing the missing right lower second premolar,mesial and distal natural teeth,periodontal membrane,alveolar bone,loaded rigid body and analog food of almond were established.Using the Federation Dentaire International (FDI)system,the first premolar, the second premolar and the first molar were represented with 44,45,46.Three occlusal surface heights of the crown were studied:(1 )normal height;(2)1 5 μm reduction in height;(3)30 μm reduction in height.The models were loaded by independent loading with maximal occlusal force(44 by 280 N,45 by 360 N,and 46 by 480 N)and average occlusal force(44 by 1 40 N,45 by 1 80 N,and 46 by 240 N)on the single crown;combined loading (maximal occlusal force transformed into uniform load of 3 .7 MPa on top of rigid body,in contact with points on the occlusal surface),and analog almond-like food loading (average occlusal force transformed into uniform load of 1 .67 MPa in simulated food chewing,in contact with points on the occlusal surface).Results:For maximal biting force under independent loading,Von Mises stress peak values in bone tissues around 44,45,and 46 were 82.57 MPa,45.26 MPa and 27.79 MPa;For average biting force,peak values were 41 .28 MPa,22.63 MPa and 1 3.89 MPa.Under com-bined loading,compared with the normal occlusal surface height group,Von Mises stress peak values de-creased 4.6 MPa,by 0.84%;increased 7.52 MPa,by 20.04%,and decreased 1 .8 MPa,by 5.84%, for 45,46,and 44 in the 30 μm infra-occlusion group,respectively.Under food loading,Von Mises stress peak values decreased 0.34 MPa,by 1 .62%;increased 1 .1 1 MPa,by 2.66%;and increased 0.06 MPa,by 0.54%,and for 45,46,and 44 in the 30 μm infra-occlusion group,respectively.Con-clusion:Within the limitation of this study,within 30 μm reduction of the occlusal surface height of im-plant-supported single crown,no significant difference of the peak values was observed.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of pamidronate disodium on calcification in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (RVSMCs) induced by hyperphosphate.Methods RVSMCs were placed in various culture mediam, including normal phosphate medium (Pi 1.4 mmol/L), high phosphate medium (Pi 4.5 mmol/L), different pamidronate disodium concentrations medium (Pi 4.5 mmol/L+pamidronate disodium 10-5, 10-6, 10-7 mmol/L). Calcium content and cell protein content were quantified by the O-cresolphthalein complexone method and BCA protein assay respectively. Calcification was visualized by yon Kossa staining, and cbfα-1,osteocalcin were quantified by Western blotting. Results After culture for 3 days, calcium content in high phosphate group were much higher than that in control group, and pamidronate disodium groups had a lower calcium content compared with high phosphate group (all P＜0.05).Calcium deposit in RVSMCs was greater in high phosphate group, while pamidronate disodium groups revealed obviously decreased deposit (all P＜0.05). Protein expression of cbfα-1 and osteocalcin in pamidronate disodium groups was much lower than that in high phosphate group.Conclusion Pamidronate disodium can protect RVSMCs from phosphate-induced calcification in vitro, which may be associated with the blockage of transformation of RVSMCs into osteoblast.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE MRA) in infrapopliteal occlusive diseases of diabetic patients.Methods A total of 105 patients with known diabetes and peripheral vascular occlusive disease who underwent both CE MRA and DSA examnations were included in this study.They had no obvious stenosis or with stenosis of less than 75％ in iliac,femoral,and popliteal arteries.Every infra-popliteal artery was anatomically divided into 9 vascular segments as tibiofibular trunk artery,proximal and distal anterior tibial artery,proximal and distal posterior tibial artery,proximal and distal peroneal artery,plantar and dorsalis pedis artery.There were 945 segments.The arterial stenosis was accessed with CE MRA and DSA respectively.The segments were scored in 5 categories as＜30％,≥30％ and＜50％,≥50％ and＜75％,≥75％ and＜100％,and 100％ according to stenostic degrees.The Kappa test was used to compare the diagnostic consistency of CE MRA and DSA.Taken DSA as a gold standard for reference,ROC curve was drawn to calculate the diagnostic accuracy of CE MRA in diagnosis of lower limb arterial disease.Results The ratio of statistically valid segments for both CE MRA and DSA were 97.7％ (923/945) in 945 vessel segments of 105 patients,and 390 of 923 arterial segments were both indicated as occlusion by CE MRA and DSA.The diagnostic consistency for the segments was listed in the decreasing order as follows:proximal peroneal artery,proximal posterior tibial artery,distal posterior tibial artery,proximal anterior tibial artery,distal anterior tibial artery,tibiofibular trunk artery,dorsalis pedis artery,plantar artery,distal peroneal artery,and corresponding Kappa values were 0.88,0.86,0.84,0.84,0.81,0.77,0.75,0.75 and 0.73,P＜ 0.05.The AUC(area under ROC curve) of CE MRA was 0.893 with 95％ confidence interval of 0.882 to 0.904.Conclusion CE MRA is an accurate imaging modality in the diagnosis of infrapopliteal occlusive disease s for diabetes.
