BACKGROUND:Hip prosthesis needs to meet the good structural compatibility with femoral bone marrow cavity and the biomechanical properties of the original bone tissue. However, the difference of individual anatomical characteristics and the stress concentration in the local area after replacement directly affect postoperative combination of femoral prosthesis stem, force flow transfer and femoral reconstruction, and finaly result in aseptic loosening of hip joint in some patients.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biomechanical characteristics of modified biotype self-locking hip prosthesis by the method of finite element analysis, and to provide the reference for the application of self-locking hip prosthesis in hip replacement.
METHODS:Experimental design contained traditional biotype hip joint prosthesis group and self-locking hip joint prosthesis group. In accordance with the finite element models of self-locking hip prosthesis, 28 kinds of screw fixation were established. Three-dimensional models were generated in the Minics system. After the optimization of prosthesis, prosthesis was designed. In the Solidworks software, the femur was re-positioned and set for contacting set in Ansys to analyze the stress distribution and displacement distribution of the femoral-prosthesis-screw by Ansys. We compared the peak of stress and displacement of the femur and prosthesis, and analyzed the biomechanical stability of prosthesis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) By using the Ansys finite element method, we analyzed the stress and displacement distribution of the femoral-prosthesis-screw. The minimum stress peak value of the femur was 15.698 MPa. The minimum stress peak value of prosthesis was 45.491 MPa. The minimum stress peak value of screw was 8.359 MPa. The minimum displacement peak value of femur was 1.125 3 mm. The minimum displacement peak value of prosthesis was 1.039 6 mm. The minimum displacement peak value of screw was 0.566 4 mm. (2) Compared with the traditional biotype hip joint prosthesis group, in 28 kinds of self-locking hip joint prostheses, the stress was minimum in the group E. The displacement was minimum in groups A-F. Regarding comprehensive stress and displacement, groups A-F were the best combination. The maximum stress of femoral-prosthesis-screw was 18.936, 59.494 and 12.382 MPa. The maximum displacement of femoral-prosthesis-screw was 1.125 3, 1.039 6 and 0.626 3 mm. (3) These findings indicated that the stress and displacement parameters of groups A-F was the best parameter combination in 28 kinds of self-locking hip joint prostheses, and it is the recommended index of researching and developing self-locking hip prosthesis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the modified balloon dilatation intervention on the pharyngeal constriction function of the brainstem stroke survivors with dysphagia using videofluoroscopy-based digital analysis.Methods Thirty brainstem stroke survivors with pharyngeal dysphagia were recruited and randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,with 15 in each.The treatment group was treated with the modified balloon dilatation in addition to the routine treatment of 30min,respectively,once a daily,3 days a week,whiled a control group was treated with routine treatment of 30min twice a day,3 days a week.Before and after the treatment,the rate and duration of pharyngeal constriction were measured in both groups.Results After the treatment,the rate of pharyngeal constriction in the treatment group was (0.20 ± 0.030),(0.14 ± 0.05) and (0.15 ± 0.04) when swallowing thin liquid,thick liquid and pasty food,significantly better than before the treatment.The duration of the pharyngeal constriction was (990.34 ±96.14),(1010.47 ± 133.64) and (1180.10 ± 121.27) ms,respectively,also significantly better than before the treatment.In the control group,significant differences were also observed in the rate and duration of pharyngeal constriction before and after the treatment.Conclusions Digital analysis based on videofluoroscopy can be used to quantify swallowing function effectively,and the rate and duration of pharyngeal constriction can be used to evaluate the pharyngeal function before and after treatment.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of the study is to detect the expression of TGF-beta1 mRNA in the maxillary sutures of puberty rhesus during different periods of the loading of intermaxillary class III orthopedic force.

METHODSThe animal model was established with 6 puberty female rhesus, which were randomly divided into experimental group (wearing class III twin-block magnet appliance, each 2 rhesus for 3 and 6 month respectively) and control group (not wearing any appliance, each 1 rhesus for 3 and 6 month respectively). Tissue sections were obtained perpendicular to the sutures. In situ hybridization was used to the expression of TGF-beta1 mRNA, and the expression intensity was measured and statistics was performed by SPSS 11.0.

RESULTSThere were no statistic differences of cellular density between palatomaxillary suture in vertical group and pterygomaxillary suture in horizontal group, but statistic differences were found between other groups. The expression of TGF-beta1 mRNA was detected in the control group, but the expression intensity was obviously increased after the load of intermaxillary class III orthopedic force. Statistically significant differences were found among all groups except the six months experimental group and control group of temporozygomatic sutures and pterygomaxillary sutures. Experimental groups were more intensive than the control group and three months group was more intensive than the six months group.

CONCLUSIONThe active tissue remodeling happened in the circummaxillary sutures by the effect of class III intermaxillary orthopedic force. Cell proliferation, extracellular matrix synthesis and bone formation were accelerated. During the different remodeling periods, the expression intensities were different, which may be related to the different force loading manners, the different reaction of sutures to the orthopedic force and the different biological function of TGF-beta1 in the different periods.

Objective To investigate the correlation of HBV DNA level with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of HBV-associated glomerulonephritis ( HBV-GN ) .Methods One hundred and two patients with HBV-GN admitted in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University during January 2009 and October 2012 were successively enrolled.Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the serum titer of HBV DNA.According to HBV DNA levels the patients were divided into three groups:low-replication group (HBV DNA <103 copies/mL), moderate-replication group (103 copies/mL ≤HBV DNA≤105 copies/mL) and high-replication group ( HBV DNA >105 copies/mL) .Renal biopsy was performed to determine the pathological type, and immunofluorescence assay was used for quantitative detection of HBV related antigens ( HBsAg, HBcAg and HBeAg ) in kidney. All patients received lamivudine (100 mg/d) plus adefovir dipivoxil (10 mg/d) combination therapy and followed up for 18 months.The renal function, biochemical and immunological indexes before and after the treatment were measured.One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences of above parameters among patients in three groups.Spearman correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis between HBV DNA level and pathological stages in kidney.Results There were 20 patients in low-replication group, 51 in moderate-replication group and 31 in high-replication group.With the increase of serum level of HBV DNA, 24-h urine protein excretion, plasma cholesterol, and triglycerides increased (F=34.64, 40.10 and 31.72, P<0.01), plasma level of albumin decreased (F=24.04, P<0.01), and the immune complexes of HBV related antigens ( HBsAg, HBcAg and HBeAg) in kidney increased ( F=41.49, 15.64 and 10.41, P<0.01).For 78 patients with HBV-membranous nephropathy ( HBV-MN), the pathological injury was aggravated with the increase of serum level of HBV DNA (r=0.38, P<0.01).The level of 24-h urine protein excretion declined after treatment in three groups ( t =7.86, 19.28 and 16.74, P <0.01 );complement C3 increased, but no statistical significance was observed ( t =1.05, 1.04 and 1.94, P >0.05);no change in creatinine was found (t =0.14, 0.52 and 0.57, P >0.05).After 18-month treatment, clinical remission rates in three groups were 95.0% ( 19/20 ) , 70.6% ( 36/51 ) and 54.8%(17/31), respectively.The clinical remission rate was significantly lower in the high-replication group as compared with that in low-replication group (χ2 =9.44, P<0.01).Conclusion Serum level of HBV DNA is closely correlated with renal function, renal pathology and clinical remission rate in HBV-GN patients, which may be used for the evaluation of kidney biopsy, treatment and prognosis in patients with HBV-GN.

Objective To explore the role of ERK1/2 in the central pathogenesis of migraine.Methods Healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:normal group (group C),sham operation group(group C),migraine model group(group M),DMSO group (group D)and PD-98059group (PD group),with 12 rats in each group.The extracellular discharge frequency in the spinal trigeminal nucleus was recorded and ERK1/2 phosphorylation was tested.Results (1) The percentage of extracellular discharge frequency change:Two hours after treatment,the percentage of discharge frequency change was (325.9±47.32)％.The percentage of extracellula discharge frequency change in group M (325.9±47.3)％ was higher than that in group N (100.0± 0.0) ％ and group C(107.3± 16.4)％.There was no significant difference in the percentage of discharge frequency change between group D(319.3±42.5) ％ and group M (325.9±47.3) ％.The percentage of discharge frequency change in group PD(218.5±31.7)％ was lower than that in group M(325.9±47.3)％ and group D(319.3± 42.5)％.(2) ERK1/2 phosphorylation:the ERK1/2 phosphorylation in group M and group D was higher than that in group N and group C.There was no significant difference in ERK1/2 phosphorylation between group D and group M.The ERK1/2 phosphorylation in group PD was lower than the other four groups.Conclusion During the process of central sensitization to migraine,neuronal excitability and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were increased.ERK1/2 inhibitor (PD98059) reduced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and neuronal excitability.These indicated that ERK1/2 may play a role in central sensitization of migraine in rats.
