BACKGROUND: Human lower limb system under different motion statuses exhibits great difference in terms of kinetic characteristics and joint deformation magnitude. Total hip replacement has been shown to be the best method to solve the severe illness of hip joints today. A good understanding of the responses of human lower limb system, in particular the knee joint, following total hip replacement is significant for rehabilitation training of patients.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of total hip replacement on knee joint deformation during motions by comparing the data collected from a patient who underwent total hip replacement 19 months ago and a healthy control subject under the same testing environment and method.METHODS: The patient was measured through the use of Optotrak Certus motion capture system (Northern Digital Inc.,California), and simultaneously measurements were performed in a healthy control subject presenting with similar body weight and body mass. Measurement indices included step length, step frequency, joint corner, and joint displacement curves. Speed and acceleration of each joint were calculated based on measured data.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Following total hip replacement, the structure of natural hip joint was destroyed. Although the gait did not change greatly, experimental data showed that knee joint deformed more greatly than normal gait, indicating the self-accommodation of human body, i.e., increasing the loading and deformation magnitude of knee joints can avoid the injuries caused by hip joint surgery.

BACKGROUND:Spermatogonial stem cells are a kind of adult stem cells, which have self-renewal and differentiation potential, and can be differentiated into specific cells in vitro, suggesting that the spermatogonial stem cells may be possibly differentiated into osteoblasts. But the related research has not been reported. OBJECTIVE:To observe the biological characterization and osteogenic process of mouse spermatogonial stem cells cultured in vitro. METHODS:Spermatogonial stem cells were obtained from the testicle of mice aged 15-20 days, and were cultured on the feeder layer from bone marrow stroma cells in vitro. When cultured for 3 days, the cells were cultured in the conditioned medium (experimental group) and basic medium (control group). The cells proliferation capability and osteogenic property were examined by phase-contrast microscope, alkaline phosphatase activity and type I col agen immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Spermatogonial stem cells proliferated faster in the experiment group than in the control group. cells grew rapidly in colony-like shape in the conditioned medium at 3-6 days, the three-dimensional feeling enhanced, cellmass and clusters continued to increase in size, the extracellular matrix was increased in number and the cytoplasmic bridge was not obvious. After culture for 15 days, cells in the two groups were positive for alkaline phosphatase staining that the cytoplasmic membrane was dyed black. Under the fluorescent microscope, green fluorescence was visible in the experimental group, suggesting the cells in the experimental group was positive for type I col agen, but negative in the control group, which is similar with the biological characteristics of osteoblasts. These findings indicate that spermatogonial stem cells possess the osteogenic capability under induction conditions, which are expected to provide seed cells for bone tissue engineering.
