1.Triangle relationship of PTH, intracellular calcium and CaSR in myocardial damage
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2017;33(1):179-183
Parathyroid hormone ( PTH) is an important hormone secreted by parathyroid cells , and regulates the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body .In recent years , the toxic effect of PTH on myocardium has been re-ported.Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), a member of G protein-coupled receptor family, can feel the subtle change of extracellular calcium concentration and regulate intracellular calcium concentration through multifarious ways in order to control the secretion of PTH .The expression of CaSR is observed in parathyroid cells , renal tubular epithelial cells , myo-cardial cells, etc.Intracellular calcium, as a second messenger, participates in various cell functions , such as excitation-contraction coupling , fertilization and so on .The injury of myocardial cells is intimately linked with high concentrations of PTH and intracellular calcium , and high expression of CaSR .

BACKGROUND:The treatment of displaced acetabular fractures consists of formal open reduction and internal fixation.However,extensile exposure can lead to a lot of complications Percutaneous screw fixation for acetabukar fractures can decrease these complications Recently developed fluoroscopic-based computerized navigation technology not only allows the surgeon to achieve maximum accuracy of screw fixation but also significantly reduce radiation exposure time.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical application of the fluoroscopic-based computerized navigation system for percutaneous screwing for acetabular fractures.METHODS:A total of 18 adult patients with 20 non-displaced and displaced acetabular fractures were treated with percutaneous screw fixation under the guidance of a fluoroscopy-based navigation system.All acetabular fractures were acetabular anterior column fractures and posterior column fractures,which were fixed by varied hollow screws Static muscle contraction and limited active and passive motion were performed at 2 days,and weight-bearing exercise was performed at 4 weeks after operation.The time of screw implantation,screw position deviation,screw biocompatibility,as well as adverse effect after screw implantation was observed.In addition.d'Aubigne and Postel scoring was used in follow-up.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 30 acetabular screws were inserted.The average operation time for per screw was24.1 minutes from the image acquisition to wound closure.The average fluoroscopic time for per screw was 27.6 seconds.Compared to the final position of the screw,the average wire tip error was 1.5 mm and the average trajectory difference was2.25°.One patient sustained a transient femoral nerve palsy which was attribute to reduction clamp inserting from the use of the limited open reduction method rather than screw fixation itself and resolved 2 months after the operation.No evidence was noted of secondary displacement of the fragment or screw failure Using the rating system of d'Aubigne and Postel,13 patients had excellent results,4 patients had good results,and 1 patient had a fair result.The excellent to good rate was 94%All results demonstrated that percutaneous screw fixation of acetabular fractures with fluoroscopy-based navigation can produce excellent results in selected patients with non-displaced and displaced fracture amenable to closed or limited open reduction,which becomes a safe and effective alternative to traditional open reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of certain acetabular fractures.

im To study the structure-function relationship of hTNFα . Methods We compared the cytotoxicity, receptor binding ability and toxicity in animal body of wild type(wt)hTNFα with its mutants including R2K-, N30S-, R32W-, L157F-hTNFα , and two multi-site mutants(R32W-L157F-hTNFα and R2K-N30S-R32W-L157F-hTNFα ). Results We found that the two multi-site mutants remained similar cytotoxicity to several human tumor cell lines as wild type hTNFα . However, their cytotoxicity to L929 cells were decreased sharply as compared with those of wt hTNFα . The two multi-site hTNFα mutants had lower binding activity with hTR75 than hTR55. We also found that compared with the wild type, the LD50 of the mutant R32W-L157F-hTNFα was decreased about 300 fold and the dose of mutant R2K-N30S-R32W-L157F-hTNFα resulted in 30% death was 700 folds lower than LD50 of wt hTNFα . To certify the systematic toxicity of the mutant R2K-N30S-R32W-L157F-hTNFα , we assayed its toxicity to monkeys and found that its systematic toxicity was lower than that of wt hTNFα. Conclusion A 4-site mutants(R2k-N30S-R32W-L157F-hTNFα )of hTNFα is obtained, which the mutant may possess potential application value in clinical therapy.
