Objective To summarize complications and early clinical effect of less invasive stabilization system and the femoral condylar support plates in treatment of AO type C distal femoral fractures. Methods We reviewed 46 patients who had internal fixation of AO type C distal femoral fractures. Of all 46 patients, 25 were with less invasive stabilization sys-tem and 21 were with femoral condylar support plates fixation. Comparative analysis was performed using intraoperative in-dex, postoperative complications and the Evanich score at follow-up. Results All 46 patients were followed up with a mean time of 19.6 months after surgery. The difference in incision length, blood loss, fracture healing time was significant between the 2 groups(P<0.05)but not in the duration of operations and hospital stays(P>0.05). The statistical signifi-cance was also found in the total incidence of postoperative complications and the Evanich score at the last follow-up(P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with less invasive stabilization system fixation had the characteristics of less trauma, shorter fracture healing time, less postoperative complications and better functional recovery compared with femoral condylar sup-port plates. Less invasive stabilization system had became an ideal internal fixation in treatment of AO type C distal femoral fractures.

Objective To observe the effect of cinobufotalin freeze-dry powder on heart rate ( HR ) and electrocardiogram ( ECG) of SD rats and to provide experimental basis for monitoring its adverse effect on heart in clinical application. Methods The drug was administered into external jugular vein at constant speed throughout the whole experiment;standard-Ⅱ limb lead monitored the HR and ECG, and then the changes in HR and ECG before and after administration of cinobufotalin were compared. Results Thirty minutes after administration of cinobufotalin injection and cinobufotalin freeze-dry powder at middle dose and high dose, HR of the rats was significantly increased as compared with blank control group[(469±40) bpm, (466±29) bpm and (484±40) bpm vs. (411±17) bpm] (P<0. 05), but soon afterwards, it returned to normal. A small number of rats also developed arrhythmia. In addition, administration of cinobufotalin significantly shortened the P-R interval[blank control group: (46. 90±3. 90) ms, cinobufotalin injection administration group: (39. 70± 2. 54) ms;middle dose of cnobufotalin freeze-dry powder administration group: (37. 70±3. 77) ms; high dose of cinobufotalin freeze-dry powder administration group:(39. 30±7. 12) ms] and Q-T interval[blank control group:(61. 29±9. 46) ms;middle dose of cinobufotalin freeze-dry powder administration group: (55. 13±4. 67) ms; high dose of cinobufotalin freeze-dry powder administration group:(51.75±11. 53) ms] (P<0. 05), but QRS and S-T were unchanged (P>0. 05). Conclusion Cinobufotalin freeze-dry powder has some side effects on rat heart and can increase HR, even lead to arrhythmia.

AIM: DNA vaccines expressing protective domain of surface protective antigen A(spaA)of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae have been relatively ineffective at generating high-titer, long-lasting, neutralizing antibodies in murine models. METHODS: This paper report using a DNA vaccine expressing a fusion of the spaA protein and various elements, such as a secretion leader sequence from the highly expressed human gene encoding α1-antitrypsin (AAT), a highly soluble and stably folded domain from the rat cartilage oligomerization matrix protein (COMP), and three copies of the complement component, C3d3, to enhance the titers of neutralizing spaA-specific antibody. RESULTS: Analysis of titers of the antibody raised in vaccinated mice at different time points indicated that immunizations with the DNA expressing pcDNA3-AAT-COMP-spaAN-3C3d((pcD-ACSC)) had higher titers than pcDNA3-spaA_N(pcD-S) at weeks 4. Furthermore, the immune protective efficacy of the spaA-chimeras was demonstrated by lethal challenge with a virulent homologous strain 1249 against immunized mice. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that using a plasmid vector containing a strong heterologous signal sequence that mediate efficient antigen secretion in vivo and a fused piece of sequence improving antigens solubility, as well as C3d3, genetic adjuvant, could enhance the antibody responses level. This approach might be an efficient way to improve the antibody level of spaA_N DNA vaccination.

Objective Aimed to clarify the molecular mechanism after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) by investigating the expression of tight junction protein Claudin-5 and ZO-1 and the effects of SP600125 on them. Methods Seventy-five male Sprague Dawley rats (300 to 350 g) were randomly divided into sham,SAH,SAH + DMSO (dimethyl sufoxide) solution,SAH +SP600125 (C-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor)10 mg/kg,and SAH +SP600125 30 mg/kg groups. The standard endovaseular perforation was performed to produce experimental SAH. The JNK inhibitor SP600125 was intraperitoneally administered at 1 hour before and 6 hours after SAH. Results At 24 hours after SAH,signs of microvessels injury were observed in brain cortex. Compared with the sham group,expression of Claudin-5 and ZO-1 was sig- nificantly decreased (P 〈 0.05 ). JNK inhibitior SP600125 suppressed the decrease of Claudin-5 and ZO-1 expression, attenuated blood-brain barrier disruption in rats after SAH. Conclusions The blood-brain barrier disruption is an important mechanism of early brain injury after SAH. JNK inhibitor SP600125 improves neurological outcomes and provides neuropmtecfion against acute events after SAH such as bloodbrain barrier disruption and cell apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:Many scholars have experimental y confirmed the obvious effect of mesenchymal stem cells to repair radiation injury. OBJECTIVE:To preliminarily investigate the mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells promoting the healing of combined radiation-wound skin injury and whether they possess tumorigenicity in vitro. METHODS:Fifteen Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups, five rats in each group. The right buttock of rats (2.5 cm×2.0 cm) was irradiated with 40 Gyβ-rays produced by a linear accelerator, in which a round wound with a diameter of 1.5 cm was made. After 12 hours of modeling, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells at three concentrations (5.0×106, 1.0×107 and 2.0×107 ) were injected through tail vein of rats, and luciferin (20 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneal y. celldistribution in vivo was traced using IVIS in vivo imaging system. The ability of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells to form colonies was observed using the colony formation assay with soft agar. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells injected through tail vein of rats were mostly gathered in the lungs. cells were accumulated in the injured site of rats injected with 2.0×10 7 human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells;however, the fluorescence signal was not observed in the injured site of rats injected with 5.0×106 and 1.0×107 human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. The other results indicated human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells of low dose, medium dose and high dose had no colony formation on soft agar, but the tumor cells had a great ability to form colony. These findings indicate that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells promote healing combined radiation-wound skin injury by local migration and exhibit no tumorigenicity in vitro in a short period.

Objective To study the changes of Neuroendocrine immunology sensitive indicators in children with Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease (HFMD) and values of determining the patient′s conditions. Methods The children with HFMD were divided into three groups , the common group , severe group and risk group according to the clinical diagnosis and classification standards, meanwhile, the healthy children were enrolled as control group. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the case groups and control group , concentrations of cortisol (COR), β-endorphin (β-EP), interleukin-13 (IL-13), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, and IgM), and the relative contents of T cell subsets, B cells and NK cells were tested respectively. Results Compared with the control group, the levels of COR, β-EP, IL-13, IFN-γ and IgG, IgA, IgM all significantly increased in the three groups of HFMD. All the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01), except the difference of IgG, and IgA between the ordinary type and the control group. Compared with the common group, the percentage of NK and B cells dramatically increased, meanwhile, compared the other two types with the control group , the percentage of T cell subsets and NK cells significantly decreased , but B cells significantly increased, and there were all significant difference (P < 0.01). Conclusions HFMD caused by EV71 infection is the result of the combined effect of changes in nervous system , immune system and endocrine system. It is extremely important to detect early the sensitive indicators in children with HFMD , such may help to find the risk cases and carry on early intervention for patients′ recovery.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of scaphoid nonunion fractures by vascularized bone graft which can reconstruct fracture blood circulation. Methods From March 2013 to December 2014, 28 cases of patients with scaphoid fractures and nonunions were studied, including 16 males and 12 females whose age arranged from 19 to 33 years with a mean age of 26.2 years, for whom waist fractures and nonunions accounted 25 cases, and proximal end of scaphoid accounted 3 cases. The patients received treatments, vascularized radial periosteum graft was transversely implanted after radial periosteal flap pedicled on their current branch of the radial artery between the first and second tendinous sheath had been separated. Then 15 cases were fixed by Kirschner wire and 13 by Herbert screw. X?ray films were taken and checked regularly and periodically at 1th, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 12th month after the operation to follow up fracture union and wrist function rehabilitation. Results All 28 cases of patients were followed up after operation for a period ranging from 5 to 12 months (with an average of 8 months). All patients with scaphoid fractures and nonunions were cured. The fractures and nonunions were clinically healed within 3 to 5 months and the patients didn't suffer from wrist pain basically. The wrist functions of those patients were evaluated according to modified Mayo wrist score:21 were rated as excellent, 5 as fine, 2 as fair, the excellent and good rate was 93%(26/28). The excellent and good rate of Kirsch?ner wire group was 93%(14/15), and the Herbert screw group was 92%(12/13). The difference in the excellent and good rate was not statistically significant between Kirschner wire group and Herbert screw group (χ2=0.011, P=0.916). Conclusion Fixed with Kirschner wire or Herbert screw, using vascularized radial periosteum graft to treat scaphoid fractures and nonunions has good short?term clinical effects. The operation manner with simple operation is an effective treatment, which can improve the blood sup?ply of the scaphoid fracture.
