BACKGROUND:No ideal drugs can be used in the prevention and treatment of aseptic loosening of artificial joints. Some researchs showed that erythromycin has strong inhibitory effects on periprosthetic osteolysis. Its antibacterial activity, however, limits its application in artificial joint loosening prevention. LY267108 is a new type of erythromycin derivatives, eliminates the antibacterial activities, and retains the anti-inflammatory activity.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate inhibitory effect of LY267108 on nuclear factor kappa B during osteoclast activation.
METHODS:RANKL and macrophage colony-stimulating factor were added to RAW264.7 cellline of a mouse model induced by osteoclasts. Simultaneously, different concentrations of alendronate sodium, erythromycin and LY267108 were cocultured for 48 hours. The activity of nuclear factor kappa B and content of intracytoplasmic inhibitory subunit of nuclear factor kappa B alpha were measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay and western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:LY267108 has a strong inhibitory effect on nuclear factor kappa B. 10 mg/L LY267108, 25 mg/L erythromycin and 10 mg/L alendronate sodium had similar inhibitory effects on nuclear factor kappa B, which was obviously stronger than 10 mg/L erythromycin. However, 25 mg/L LY267108 had strongest inhibitory effects. No significant difference in intracytoplasmic inhibitory subunit of nuclear factor kappa B alpha levels was detected among 10 mg/L LY267108, 25 mg/L erythromycin and 10 mg/L alendronate sodium groups, but was stil apparently higher than 10 mg/L erythromycin group. Levels of intracytoplasmic inhibitory subunit of nuclear factor kappa B alpha were highest in the 25 mg/L LY267108 group. Results indicated that LY267108 in the process of osteoclast activation had stronger inhibitory effects on nuclear factor kappa B compared with erythromycin, and its safety was higher than alendronate sodium. Simultaneously, LY267108 did not have antimicrobial activity, and became a potential ideal drug for prevention and treatment of aseptic loosening of artificial joints. However, the inhibitory effects of LY267108 on the degradation of inhibitory subunit of nuclear factor kappa B alpha would be a mechanism of inhibiting the activation of nuclear factor kappa B.

Objective To explore the relation between the enlargement of orbital volume and the degree of enophthalmos, and that between the enlarged volume of floor together with that of medial wall and the degree of enophthalmos. Methods A total of 17 patients of unilarteral orbital fracture were scanned by MSCT (slice width 0.625mm), who suffered late enophthalmos as a results of combination fracture of the medial wall and floor. The clinical data were collected, and input into a software named MIMICS in order to measure orbital volume, the degree of enophthalmos, the enlarged volume of medial wall, and that of orbital floor. Simple linear correlation and regression were carried out between the enlargement of orbital volume and the degree of enophthalmos. Mutiple linear correlation and regression were carried out between the enlarging volume of floor together with that of medial wall and the degree of enophthalmos. Results The equation of the enlargement of orbital volume (V) and the degree of enophthalmos (E) was E= 0.851 V-0.197 (Pearson r=0.969, P＜0.01, the 95% confidence intervals of 0.732-0.970). The standardized equation between the enlarged volume of floor together with that of medial wall and the degree of enophthalmos was E= 0.690 VF+0.413 VM-0. 086 (setpwise, entry =0.5, removal= 0. 11,P＜0.01 ); Comparing the standardized coefficients of independent variables, the outcome was bF (0.690) ＞ bM(0.413). Conclusion Significant linear correlation between the increment of the orbital volume and the degree of enophthalmos is found that 1.0 ml enlargeement in bony volume causes approximately 0.9 mm of enophthalmos; enlarged volume of floor has more powerful influence on the degree of enophthalmos than enlarged volume of medial wall, the former is 1.56 times of the latter.

Objective Clinically, the anterior cruciate ligament ( ACL) can be reconstructed by either ligament advanced reinforcement system ( LARS) artificial ligament or hamstring tendon autograft ( HTAG) . This study aims to compare the early clinical outcomes of LARS versus HTAG in the treatment of ACL. Methods This study included 38 cases of ACL injury treated in our de-partment from March 2012 to August 2014, 18 by LARS artificial ligament and the other 20 by HTAG. Before and at 18 months after surgery, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of the tow strategies using the Lysholm knee scoring scale and International Knee Documen-tation Committee ( IKDC) scoring systems, and conducted statistical analysis on the follow-up findings. Results Statistically signifi-cant differences were not observed preoperatively between the LARS and HTAG groups either in the Lyshrolm scores (46.78±1.52 vs 46.80 ±1.89, P>0.05) or in the IKDC scores (42.83±1.47 vs 42.20±1.61, P>0.05), nor at 18 months postoperatively in the Lyshrolm scores (93.52±3.19 vs 94.10±1.37, P>0.05) or the IKDC scores (92.11± 1.45 vs 93.15±1.76, P>0.05). However, both the LARS and HTAG groups showed significant differences in the Lyshrolm and IKDC scores at the baseline as compared with those at 18 months after oper-ation ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Both LARS artificial ligament ham-string tendon autograft can achieve good early clinical outcomes in ACL reconstruction.

OBJECTIVETo study the biomechanical change of the craniovertebral junction in conditions of atlas assimilation.

METHODSMimics software was used to process CT data of the craniovertebral junction in a health adult to obtain the three-dimensional reconstruction and the cloudy points of C1, C2 and part of the occipital bone. Then the cloudy points were imported into the Abaqus 6. 8 software to establish the occipito-atlantoaxial finite element model in normal structure. According to the established model in normal structure, the model in conditions of atlas assimilation was set by changing the model parameters. Both models of normal structure and atlas assimilation were loaded with 1. 5 N . m static moment to simulate four motions of flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial rotation respectively. The movement characteristics,joint stress force and ligament deformation was analyzed.

RESULTSUnder 1. 5 N . m moment, in model of atlas assimilation the C1-C2 range of movement decreased from 13. 55° to 11.88° in flexion,increased from 13. 22° to 15. 24° in extension and from 4. 05° to 4. 23° in lateral bending and remained unchanged in axial rotation when compared with the normal model. In flexion movement, the contact force of the atlanto-dental joint increased from 1. 59 MPa to 3. 28 MPa and the deflection of apical ligament, tectorial membrane and alar ligament increased 129. 1%, 157. 6% and 75. 1% respectively when compared with the normal model.

CONCLUSIONSThe normal C1-C2 motion mode is destructed in conditions of atlas assimilation, leading to the changes of the range of movement,joint stress force and the ligament deformation at C1 C2 junction. The atlantoaxial instability will likely occur in flexion motion.

Objective To investigate clinicopathologic characteristics of obsolete Bennett fractures and their surgical treatment and prognosis. Methods From August 2008 to April 2010,13 patients with obsolete Bennett fracture were admitted to our department.They were 12 men and one woman,with an average age of 34.3 years (from 17 to 42 years).They had a fracture history of over 4 weeks to as long as 12 weeks (average,7.9 weeks).In all patients,after X-ray examinations,the radio-dorsal ligament complex of the first carpometacarpal joint was properly released,fracture gaps were cleared up,fracture fragments were anatomically reduced and fixed with a Kirschner wire,and at last the first metacarpal joint was fixed with the Kirschner wire crossing the joint Postoperatively all patients were immobilized with cast plaster for 4 weeks before the Kirschner wires acrross the joint were removed.Gradual rehabilitation was conducted.The X-rays were taken every month. Results The patients were followed for 6 to 24 months(average,14 months).The fractures healed in all the patients,with an average healing time of 3 months.No dislocation of the joints occurred.Injury to articular cartilage of the trapezium bone occurred in one patient,and no apparent pain was experienced in the other 12 patients.According to the Total Active Motion assessment,the thumb function was rated as excellent in 9 cases,good in 2,moderate in one and poor in one,with a good to excellent rate of 84.6％.Conclusions In obsolete Bennett fractures,the radio-dorsal ligament complex of the first carpometacarpal joint will have cicatricial contracture,preventing reduction of the fragments of the radio-dorsal joint.Therefore it is important to properly release the radio-dorsal ligament complex to achieve anatomical reduction of the radio-dorsal joint.An injury history of over 3 months and complicated injury to the trapezium bone cartilage may be significant factors affecting the prognosis of obsolete Bennett factures.
