BACKGROUND: In order to enhance the rate and degree of osseointegration of cementless implants, hydroxyapatile(HA) was applied on the different prosthesissurfaces. Themajoritiesofthesestudieshaveutilized non-weight-bearing in vivo dog models and have focused on the fixation of the femoral component. What is the osseointegration of macrotextured acetabular components in a weight-bearing model(dog) like?OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the various macrotextured surface coatings applied to acetabular components of the same design in aweight-bearing canine total hip replacement model.DESIGN: Randomized conparative study using theexperimentalanimals as subjectsSETTING: Department of Ortopaedics, Beijing Tongren Hospital;PathologyDepartment, Bone and Joint Laboratory,St. Michael' s Hospital, U of T,Toronto,CanadaMATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the Pathology Department,Bone and Joint laboratory, St. Michael' s Hospital, U of T, Toronto, Canada from October 2001 to December 2001. Acetabular components with the selected surface characteristics were implanted into forty dogs with the body mass of 29 - 44 kg of either gender and divided into seven groups, including group 1 (AD/HA), Group 2 (CoCr beads/PA), Group 3 (CPTi bead surface),Group 4(CPTi 30 PPI foam),Group 5(CPTi 30 PPI/PA foam),Group 6(CPTi 40 PPI foam), Group 7(CPTi 40 PPI/PA foam).METHODS: Exercise was restricted to leash walks for the first fourteen days post-operatively. After this, dogs were allowed unrestricted activity. The dogs were euthanized at either three or sixmonths after surgery as the project' s protocol. The whole acetabulum,divided into weight-bearing and non weightbearing areas, containing the component was harvested and submitted for histological and histomorphological assessment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The bone ongrowth and ingrowth with weight bearing and without weight bearing areas in each group.RESULTS:There was significantly greater bone apposition and bone ingrowth for implants withHAcoatingsascompared to uncoated implants. There was also significantly greater bone ingrowth in weight-bearing areas as compared tonon weight-bearing areas at both time periods. The bone growth into AD/HA was 17% at 3 months and descended to 14% at 6 months. The bone growth into CPTi beads surface was 21% at 3 months,30% at 6months in weight-bearing areas. All four foam-coating surfaces there were 15% to 21% ongrowth at 3 months,15% to 32% at 6 months and 21%to 32%ingrowth at 3 months,29%to 45%at 6 months in weight-bearing areas( P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Hydroxyapatite coating produces significantly greater boneingrowth andappositionin all thesurfacetreatmentstestedinthis study.

[Objective] To construct a database for the genetic polymorphism of 18 STR loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSFIPO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, VWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, FGA, PentaE, PentaD, SE33) in Hart population from Zhejiang province. To investigate the application of 18 STR loci in the field of paternity testing and prenatal diagnosis. [Methods] Fluorescent dye labeling multiplex STR-PCR, capillary electrophoresis and DNA sequencer GeneScan were adopted in genotyping 598 unrelated samples collected from Han population in Zhejiang province. 18-STR database was established and analyzed. Population comparison was conducted between Han population in Zhejiang province and 8 other population. 15-STR and 18-STR identification system were compared in 497 paternity testing cases. [Results] We observed the distribution of 18 STR loci in Han population meet Hardy-Weinberge equilibrium and was different from other 8 population (X~2 test, P>0.05). Statistical results showed that the heterozygosis (He) ranged from 0.630 to 0.942. The combined power of discrimination was>0.9999999999. Compared with 15-STR identification system, higher paternity index scores and higher exclusion rate were obtained with 18-STR identification system in dual-case paternity test and mutation identification. One trisomy 21 fetus was found in a prenatal paternity test case which had two characteristic genotypes in 2 STR loci of D21S11 and Penta D. [Conclusions] The 18 loci were relatively highly genetic polymorphic in Zhejiang Han population and could be used for paternity testing. Some STR loci could be used in prenatal diagnosis for aneuploidy.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy on chronic stable angina pectoris treated with acupuncture at Neiguan (PC 6) and explore the impacts of acupuncture on peripheral blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the patients of stable angina pectoris.
METHODSThirty patients of chronic stable angina pectoris met the inclusive criteria were randomized into an acupuncture group (15 cases) and a medication group (15 cases), and a healthy control group (15 cases of the same ages) was set up separately. In the acupuncture group, at the same time of the basic medication, acupuncture was applied to bilateral Neiguan (PC 6), once every two days, 3 days a week, totally for 4 weeks. In the medication group, the basic medication was applied, without acupuncture intervention. In the healthy control group, no any intervention was applied. The attack frequency of angina pectoris, dose of nitrogly-cerin, the evaluation of visual analogue scale (VAS), Seattle angina questionnaire (SAQ), the six-minute walking test (6MWT), the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and the self-rating depression scale (SDS) were observed before and after treatment in the subjects. Additionally, the peripheral blood cells were detected to analyze specifically the changes in NLR before and after treatment and observe the relationship between NLR and clinical efficacy.
RESULTSCompared with the medication group, the attack frequency of angina pectoris was reduced within 30 days (P<0.01); the dose of nitroglycerin was reduced (P<0.01); VAS was reduced (P<0.01) and SAQ was increased (P<0.05) in the acupuncture group. The differences in 6 MWT, SAS and SDS were not significant between the two groups after treatment (all P>0.05). Additionally, compared with the medication group, in 30 days of acupuncture, NLR was reduced apparently in the acupuncture group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture relieves the clinical symptoms of chronic stable angina pectoris, but has not apparent effects on motor ability and psychological health. Corresponding to that before treatment, the decreased NRL in the patients of acupuncture group suggests the potential good prognosis on coronary heart disease after acupuncture.
