Objective To determine the incidence of clinically common acute avulsions of the popliteus tendon (PT) and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the femur (peel-off lesion) in knees with multiple injured ligaments.Methods A retrospective review of 48 acute grade 3 posterolateral corner (PLC) knee surgeries was conducted.All office evaluations were reviewed to determine the demographic data,tear description,preoperative MRI examination,physical examination under anesthesia,intraoperative arthroscopic findings and surgical techniques.Results In total,19 patients were surgically verified as having femoral peel-off lesions as a portion of a series of multiple pathologic findings.Tear patterns were typically categorized into 3 patterns:isolated PT tear (pattern 1,4 patients),combined PT and LCL tears (pattern 2,8 patients) and complex tears (associated intrasubstance and/or fibular-based injuries,pattern 3,7 patients).Seventeen of the 19 patients underwent preoperative MRI examination,which demonstrated conclusive signs of femoral insertion separation and discontinuity in 13 patients (76%) and inconclusive signs of femoral insertion separation.Examination under anesthesia (EUA) revealed that for the 4 patients with pattern 1 injuries,the tibial external rotation increases were all greater than 10°.For the 15 patients with pattern 2 and 3 injuries,the yarus instability was as follows:grade 3 in 8 patients,grade 2 in 2,grade 1 in 1,and negative in 4.External rotation increases were greater than 10° in 12 patients and less than 10° in 3.Seventeen of the 19 patients were inspected with an arthroscope prior to PLC surgery:of these patients,94% had acute avulsion findings and positive lateral gutter drive-through sign;8 patients were repaired with recess or reattachment procedures;6 patients were primarily reconstructed;4 patients were treated with combined repair and reconstruction;and 1 patient was left untreated for secondary reconstruction due to priority repair for concurrent patellar tendon rupture.Conclusion For adequate clinical identification,we recommend a comprehensive diagnostic protocol,including MRI,physical examination and arthroscopic inspection,to avoid underdiagnosis of the lesion in multiple-ligament injured knees.The lateral gutter arthroscopic evaluation is particularly sensitive for detecting the lesion.

Objective To investigate the HIV/AIDS knowledge,attitude and behavior among undergraduates from different universities in Kunming and to provide scientific basis for health education strategy.Methods Stratified random cluster sampling method was applied and an anonymous questionnaire was conducted in 879 first and second year students from three universities in Kunming (Kunming Medical University,Yunnan University and Yunnan Art Institute).Results Undergraduates from different universities in Kunming performed differently on cognition of HIV/AIDS knowledge.Cognitive level in Yunnan Art Institute was relatively low while no obvious difference was found in Kunming Medical University and Yunnan University.No significant difference in the attitude toward HIV/AIDS was found in the three universities.Differences were found in protective behaviors and attitudes on preventing HIV/AIDS infection among three universities.Conclusion There are different cognition on HIV/AIDS knowledge,attitude and behavior among undergraduates from different type universities in Kunming.Cognition on HIV/AIDS related knowledge is relatively weak among Art college students,who should be targeted to strengthen health education.

Objective To investigate the expression of Rap1 GTPase-activating protein 1 (Rap1GAP),matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9),and their relation with clinical patterns in colorectal carcinoma.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Rap1GAP,MMP-2 and MMP-9 in colorectal carcinoma,villous adenoma,tubular adenoma and normal colorectal tissue,and their relationship with clinicopathological parameters was analyzed.Results The positive rate of Rap1GAP expression was 30.4 ％ (14/46),77.8 ％ (14/18),69.6 ％ (16/23) and 95.2 ％ (20/21) in colorectal carcinoma,villous adenoma,tubular adenoma,and normal colorectal tissue,respectively (x2 =30.659,P=0.000).The figures were 71.7 ％ (33/46),55.6 ％ (10/18),52.2 ％ (12/16) and 9.5 ％ (2/21) for the positive rate of MMP-2 expression (x2 =22.459,P =0.000),as well as for 76.1％ (35/46),61.1％ (11/18),56.5 ％ (13/23) and 14.3 ％ (3/21) for the positive rate of MMP-9 expression,respectively (x2 =22.643,P =0.000).In patients with colorectal carcinoma,the expression of Rap1GAP was correlated with tumor differentiation (x2 =5.275,P =0.022),but not sex,age,or lymphatic metastasis (all P ＞ 0.05).The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were correlated with lymphatic metastasis (x2 =6.661,P =0.010;x2 =8.475,P =0.040),but not sex,age or tumor differentiation(all P ＞ 0.05).There was a negative correlation between expression of Rap1GAP and MMP-2,MMP-9 in colorectal carcinoma,respectively (r =-0.424,P =0.003;r =-0.294,P =0.048),but no correlation between the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 (r =0.101,P =0.505).Conclusions Rap1GAP,MMP-2 and MMP-9 play important roles in the malignant biological behavior of colorectal carcinoma,and the expression of Rap1GAP is negatively correlated with MMP-2 and MMP-9.The interactions among the three affect the occurrence and development of colorectal carcinoma.

Objective To observe the effects of Compound Uncaria Hypotensive Tablets on expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 of vascular remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR); To discuss it possible mechanism of action. Methods Totally 24 12-week old male SHR were randomly divided into SHR model group, Compound Uncaria Hypotensive Tablets group, and positive medicine group, with 8 rats in each group. Another 8 WKY rats were set as normal control group. Medication groups were given relevant medicine for gavage for successive 6 weeks. Noninvasive tail cuff method was used to observe blood pressure; morphological changes in thoracic aorta and renal artery were observed by HE staining; immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in thoracic aortic wall. Results Protein expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in thoracic aortic wall of SHR model group were significantly higher than those of normal control group (P<0.01); Compared with the SHR model group, protein expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in thoracic aortic wall decreased significantly in the medication groups (P<0.05, P<0.01); Compared the Compound Uncaria Hypotensive Tablets group and positive medicine group, there was no obvious difference in protein expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in thoracic aortic wall. Conclusion Compound Uncaria Hypotensive Tablets can reduce the blood pressure of SHR, reduce inflammation reaction, and regulate vascular remodeling, which mechanism may be related to down-regulation of expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in SHR aortic endothelial cells.

In the clinical practice,critically ill patients are in great risk of delirium because of the impact of psychological,surroundings,illness,and medications,with the incidence rate as high as 45％-87％.Delirium could result in bad prognosis and clinical consequences of cognitive function in late stage.Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a novel and highly selective 2-adrenoceptor agonist.It offers beneficial pharmacological properties and has been widely used in intensive care unit (ICU).In order to provide scientific and effective references for clinical practice,this paper reviewed the development of DEX intervention for the prevention of delirium in ICU both in China and abroad refereed to the pharmacological characteristics and the efficiency in clinic and the influence factors ofthe efficiency;and also discussed the possible mechanisms,such as modulating the neurotransmitters,and attenuating stress response and inflammation.
