BACKGROUND:Pain is the main reason for the recovery of knee function after total knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE:To explore and analyze the influencing factors of pain after total knee arthroplasty.METHODS:160 patients with knee osteoarthritis underwent total knee arthroplasty. At 12, 24 and 48 hours after total knee arthroplasty, patients were evaluated with visual analogue scale (VAS) and knee function was assessed with KSS score preoperatively and 90 days postoperatively. Factors, including operation time, age, gender, body mass index, anesthesia method, and preoperative score of KSS were analyzed by Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. These statistics method also was used to analyze the relationship between the postoperative 90 days score of KSS and postoperative VAS score at each time point. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis showed that operation time, gender, and body mass index had been correlated positively with VAS score at 12, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively. (2) Patient age had been correlated negatively with VAS score at 12, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively. (3) VAS score at 12, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively had been correlated negatively with KSS score at 90 days postoperatively. (4) Gender, operation time, body mass index and age are al the influencing factors of the pain after total knee arthroplasty. Pain after total knee arthroplasty affects the recovery of knee function.

Objective To study the difference of oxygen free radical metabolism between healthy native Tibetans and mi- grated Hans at different altitude.Methods The activity of Total-antioxidation capability(T-AOC),superoxide dis- mutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)and the content of,reactive oxygen species(ROS),malondialdehyde (MDA)and nitric oxide(NO)in serum in healthy native Tibetans and migrated Hans at different altitude were meas- ured.Results The activity of T-AOC,SOD,GSH-PX and the content of NO were increased in serum in native Tibet- ans group than that in migrated Hans group(P

Objective To identify the outcome of pregnancy and the alteration of renal function in women with nephrotic syndrome. Methods From 2003 to 2007, 59 pregnant women with nephrotic syndrome in our hospital were enrolled in the study. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed, including the time of kidney disease onset, 24-hour proteinuria, serum albumin, serum creatinine, blood uric acid, blood pressure, fetal survival, fetal mortality, rate of premature delivery, birth weight of the newborn, and proteinuria, renal function, blood pressure of the patients during their postpartum follow-up. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors influencing the outcome of the patients and the newborns. Results The average gestational week was (20.35±9.40) weeks when proteinuria was detected in these pregnant women. The 24-hour proteinuria ranged from 3.5 to 15 g/24 h (median 5.1 g/24 h). The serum albumin was between 10 and 28 g/L (median 22.5 g/L). The serum creatinine was between 32 and 825 μmol/L (median 84 μmol/L) and the serum uric acid ranged from 196 to 793 μmol/L (median 385.5 μmol/L). Pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome occurred in 75% of the patients, among whom 55.5% suffered from preeclampsia. Forty-three (72.9%) newborns survived , among whom 76.7% (33/43) were premature births and 62.8% (27/43) were low birth weight infants. 50% of the pregnant women still had nephrotic syndrome after delivery. 75% of 24 patients with pre-existing chronic glomerulonephritis had increased proteinuria during pregnancy. Among the 38 patients with renal insufficiency, 36.8% had poorer renal function after delivery. 23.7% of the patients progressed into end stage renal failure after delivery, 80% of whom had serum creatinine ≥ 265 μmol/L. 89% of the patients had persistent hypertension after childbirth. The Logistic regression analysis indicated hyperuricemia during pregnancy (P=0.018, OR=1.012) and the increase of serum creatinine (P=0.039, OR=1.005) were risk factors of renal failure in pregnant women after delivery. Hyperuricemia (P=0.012, OR=1.006)was the risk factor of fetal death. Conclusions Pregnancy with nephrotic syndrome leads to a low fetal survival. Hyperuricemia is the most important risk factor of the poor outcome of pregnant women and newborn.

Objective To compare the efficacy of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and hemodialysis (HD) on polycystic kidney disease (PKD) patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Methods Retrospective analysis was made on 29 patients with PKD who carded out dialysis therapy for over 3 months in our department from January 2001 to December 2007. They were divided into the CAPD group (10 cases, 34.5%) and HD group (19 cases, 65.5%). Ten cases of non-PKD CAPD patients were randomly selected as the control, who matched the CAPD group in terms of age and gender. The patient information was recorded, such as general data, initial dialysis data, comphcations, survival time, quit of dialysis or death, etc. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were adopted to analyze the survival rate. Results The survival rates of 1-, 3- and 5-year for the CAPD group were 90%, 75% and 25% respectively, while for the HD group were 94.4%, 67.6%, and 48.3%, and for the control were 83.3%, 44.4% and 22.2% respectively, with no significant differences among 3 groups (P>0.05). group and the control were quite similar. The incidence of peritonitis for the CAPD group (0.62 times/patient year) was similar to that for the control (0.30 times/patient year)(P>0.05). The duration of the lust peritonitis[(23.5±4.0) months vs (20.0±15.8) months] and the catheter exit-site infection (0 time vs 1 time) for two groups were similar as well (P>0.05). One patient had hernia in CAPD group and no patient in control group had hernia. The incidence of peritoneal dialysate leakage was similar between these two groups. In the HD group, two patients (10.5%) had cerebral hemorrhage resulting in death, and 10 patients (52.6%) had cystic hemorrhage, 5 out of whom underwent operation due to repeated cystic hemorrhage and 2 cases received unilateral nephrectomy because of severe hemorrhage. No patient in CAPD group had cerebral hemorrhage but 1 patient (10%) had cystic hemorrhage and recovered after conservative treatment. The hemorrhage complication incidence of CAPD group was significantly lower than that of HD group (P<0.05). Conclusions The prognosis and complication incidence in PKD and non-PKD patients treated with CAPD are similar. The prognosis of PKD patients treated with CAPD or HD is also similar, and the risk of hemorrhage complications of PKD patients treated with CAPD may be decreased compared with those treated with HD. PKD patients can choose HD or PD as the initial therapy of ESRD unless existence of hernia or intolerance. PKD is not the contraindication of PD.

The aim of this study is to prepare hyaluronic acid (HA) modified core-shell liponanoparticles (pHA-LCS-NPs) as gene delivery system and investigate its gene transfection efficiency in human retinal pigment epithelium (ARPE-19) cells in vitro. The pHA-LCS-NPs was prepared by firstly hydrating dry lipid film with CS-NPs suspension to get LCS-NPs, then modifying the lipid bilayer with HA by amidation reaction between HA and dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE). Its morphology, particle size and zeta potential were investigated. XTT assay was used to evaluate the cell safety of different vectors in vitro. The gene transfection efficiency of pHA-LCS-NPs modified with different contents of HA was investigated in ARPE-19 cells with green fluorescent protein (pEGFP) as the reporter gene. The results showed that the obtained pHA-LCS-NPs exhibited a clear core-shell structure with the average particles size of (214.9 +/- 7.2) nm and zeta potential of (-35 +/- 3.7) mV. The 24 h cumulative release of gene from pHA-LCS-NPs was less than 30%. After 48 h incubation, gene transfection efficiency of pHA-LCS-NPs/pEGFP was 1.81 times and 3.75 times higher than that of CS-NPs/pEGFP and naked pEGFP, respectively. Also no obvious cytotoxicity was observed on pHA-LCS-NPs. It suggested that the pHA-LCS-NPs might be promising non-viral gene delivery systems with high efficiency and low cytotoxicity.

This study is to evaluate the effects of Shenmai injection on the temporal alterations of action potential (AP), early afterdepolarization (EAD) and delayed afterdepolarization (DAD) in papillary muscles. The action potentials were recorded by a glass electrode. APD at 90% repolarization (APD9 ) was measured, and spontaneous EAD and DAD were observed. The results show APD90 was significantly prolonged in model group compared with sham-operated group, whereas it was remained unchanged in Shenmai injec- tion treatment group and amiodarone group. The spontaneous EADs and DADs were frequently visible in model group. In conclusion, EAD, DAD and trigger activities increase gradually during pathological progression of rat cardiac hypertrophy, and Shenmai injection could improve the action potential change in rat cardiac hypertrophy.

SD rats were injected with streptozotocin and fed with high fat diet,used as type 2 diabetic model. Transcription factor Fox01 [in nucleus (15.00±1. 15 vs 6.45±0. 62) %, P<0.05], Caspase-3 [(23.73 ±1.48 vs 6.30±2.20)% ,P<0.01] expressions in pancreatic istet β cells and the positive rate of islet β cells apoptosis[(22.29±1.84 vs 6.25±2.42) %, P<0.01] in diabetic rats were higher than those of control rats. The islet cells which highly expresed Fox01 (in nucleus)and caspase-3 were just the apoptotic islet cells. Therefore,Fox01 may be involved in regulating apoptosis of islet β cells in type 2 diabetes.
