There are many factors which affect the effects of acetabular fracture treatment. According to the literature, they can be concluded as follows: First,factors before the injury, such as quality of bone, age, other diseases of the patient and the expectation of the patient for functional recovery; Secondly, injury related factors, such as type of fracture, presence or absence of complicated nerve injury, dislocation of the femoral head, soft tissue damage and other complications, and the degree of cartilage damage of the femoral head; Thirdly, operational factors, such as the time gap between trauma and surgery, accuracy of reduction, stability of the coxa after the operation, experience of the surgeon, selection of operative approach, conditions of the hospital and operative complications.

Objective To investigate the regulation effect of promoter methylation of deathassociated protein kinase (DAPK) on mRNA and protein expression of DAPK in tissue of primary gastric cancer (GC). Methods The cancerous and noncancerous samples from 62 patients with GC were determined by RT-PCR for mRNA expression of DAPK. The DAPK promoter methylation was detected by methylation-specific PCR. The protein expression of DAPK in 34 patients with methylation was determined by Western blot. Results mRNA and protein expre.ssions of DAPK in cancerous tissues were reduced significantly compared to noncancerous tissues (0. 2863d±0. 2027 vs 0. 57364±0. 1968,0. 2616±0. 0913 vs 0. 65294±0. 1808, P＜0.01). Methylation frequency of DAPK in cancerous tissues was higher than that in noncancerous tissues (54.8% vs 17.7%, P＜0.01). Furthermore, DAPK mRNA expression was decreased in methylation group compared to unmethylation group (0.1399±0. 0835 vs 0. 46404±0. 1569, P＜0. 01). Moreover, a significant correlation was demonstrated between the TNM stage and DAPK promoter methylation (P = 0. 04). Conclusion Expression of DAPK is down-regulated in cancerous tissues at mRNA and protein levels. Low expression of DAPK is associated with hypermethylation of the promoter of DAPK gene.

Objective To evaluate early and mid-term results in infants,weighing less than 2 500 g,who underwent early cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Method Since November 2003 to December 2007,28 consecutive infants of less than 2 500 g underwent early cardiac surgery on CPB in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University.Sixteen infants were male,and 12 infants were female.The mean pregnancy period was 34 weeks (30 to 41 weeks) ,and 14 patients were premature,and the mean birth weight was 2 010 g(1 370-2 500 g).Mean age at operation was 27.46 d (range 1～61 d),and mean weight was 2 391 g (range 1 500～2 500 g).Deep hypothermia circulatory arrest was used in 9.Indications for surgery were:ventricular septal defect (10 infants),transposition of great arteries (6 iofants),totally anomalous pulmonary venom return (5 infants),pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum(2 infants),coarctation of aorta (1 infants) ,interrupted aortic arch (1 infants),cortriatriatum(1 infants),abnormal original of fight pulmonary artery (1 infants).Resuits Two (7.14%) infants died after operation at early phase.Mean duration of mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit stay were 113.9 h and 14.4 d,respectively.During follow-up (mean 16.87 months),one died.Two patients needed reintervention.About 84.4% infants didn' t need reintervention at the end of 12-month followup.Conclusions If medicine is aseless,infants woth low birth weight and congenital heart defect can obtain satisfactory outcome after CPB.Perioperative proration for virtual organs should be payed attention to.

Objective Combination of nanoparticle with p53 and Rb gene therapy by gene targeting was applied to investigate its curative effect and safety evaluation on colorectal rabbit hepatic VX2 metastasis for tumor eradication and survival enhancement. Methods Recombinant expressing plasmids harboring wild type p53 and Rb were cotransferred or transferred separately to the rabbit hepatic VX2 metastasis by the emulsion of PLL-nHAP nanoplex and lipodiol through the hepatic artery in a tumor target manner. Subsequent co-expressions of p53 and Rb protein within the treated tumors were detected by Western blot and in situ analysis of confocal laser scanning microscope. The therapeutic effect was evaluated by the tumor growth velocity and the survival time of animals. Eventually, investigations of liver function were applied to evaluate the safety of the process. Results With safe procedure for the rabbits liver function, both p53 and Rb local nano-therapy showed favorable anti-tumor effects and increased animal survival time. p53+Rb local nano-therapy could significantly inhibit hepatic VX2 metastasis and enhance the animal survival time compared with p53 local nano-therapy or Rb local nano-therapy. Local nano-therapy showed no significant influence to animal liver function. Conclusions Rb can work synergistically with p53 in the combined therapy mediated by PLL-nHAP nanoplex to augment the anti-tumor effect. The local nano-therapy with p53 and Rb is likely to be an effective and safe anti-tumor therapy for hepatic colorectal metastasis.

To study the effect of cholesterol and 25-OH-cholesterol on cholesterol metabolism in HepG2 cells and the effect of coptisine (Cop) extracted from Coptidis Rhizoma (CR) in reducing and regulating cholesterol. In this study, TC, TG, LDL-c and HDL-c were measured by biochemical analysis; mRNA and protein expressions of LDLR, HMGCR and CYP7A1 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. According to the results, cholesterol and 25-OH-cholesterol inducing could decrease in mRNA and protein expressions of LDLR and CYP7A1, so as to increase TC and LDL-c contents. However, Cop could up-regulate mRNA and protein expressions of LDLR and CYP7A1 and down-regulate that of HMGCR, so as to reduce TC and LDL-c levels. These findings suggested that Cop has potential pharmacological activity for reducing cholesterol, and may reduce cholesterol by regulating mRNA and protein expressions of key genes involved in cholesterol metabolism, such as LDLR, CYP7A1 and HMGCR. This study laid a firm theoretical foundation for developing new natural drugs with the cholesterol-lowering activity.

Objective: To examine the effects of air pollution on overall mortality, mortality of respiratory diseases, and mortality of circulatory diseases among residents in Hangzhou City. Methods: Residents' mortality data in Hangzhou City from 2014 to 2016 were captured from Zhejiang Provincial Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System, and the ambient air quality in Hangzhou City from 2014 to 2016 were collected from Hangzhou Environmental Monitoring Center, while the meteorological monitoring data during the study period were collected from Hangzhou Meteorological Bureau. The effects of PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and SO2 on overall mortality, morality of respiratory diseases and mortality of circulatory diseases were evaluated a generalized additive model (GAM) based on Poisson distribution, and the risk of mortality was described with excess risk (ER) and its 95%CI. Results: The daily M (QR) overall deaths, deaths from respiratory diseases and deaths from circulatory diseases were 111 (30), 16 (9) and 37 (14) persons in Hangzhou City from 2014 to 2016, respectively. A 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and SO2 resulted in 0.47% (95%CI: 0.23%-0.70%), 0.37% (95%CI: 0.21%-0.53%), 1.06% (95%CI: 0.50%-1.61%) and 3.08% (95%CI: 2.18%-3.99%) rises in the risk of overall mortality, 0.60% (95%CI: 0.04%-1.16%), 0.45% (95%CI: 0.06%-0.83%), 2.01% (95%CI: 0.84%-3.20%) and 6.06% (95%CI: 3.80%-8.37%) rises in the risk of mortality of respiratory diseases, and 0.45% (95%CI: 0.08%-0.83%), 0.44% (95%CI: 0.17%-0.71%), 1.43% (95%CI: 0.49%-2.37%) and 3.66% (95%CI: 2.13%-5.22%) rises in the risk of mortality of circulatory diseases, and the greatest effect was observed at a 2-day lag. Multi-pollutant model analysis showed that, after adjustment for PM2.5, NO2 and PM2.5+NO2+SO2, a 10 μg/m3 increase in SO2 resulted in an elevated risk of mortality of respiratory diseases than a single-pollutant model. Conclusions The air pollutants PM10, PM2.5, NO2, and SO2 correlated positively with the risk of overall mortality, mortality of respiratory diseases and mortality of circulatory diseases in Hangzhou City from 2014 to 2016, and the co-existence of multiple pollutants enhanced the effect of SO2 on mortality of respiratory diseases.

ObjectiveTo study the association of SNP276 in adiponectin gene with impaired glucose regulation (IGR) complicating with the different component numbers of metabolism syndrome (MS) in population of IGR in Han people of Shanxi region.MethodsThe study population consisted of 256 subjects with IGR which was composed of 123 subjects with component numbers of MS ＜2 (IGRA) and 133subjects with component numbers of MS≥2 (IGRB),and 128 subjects with normal healthy (Normal) who were Chinese Hans residents and in Shanxi province.Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was applied to test the adiponectin SNP276G/T polymorphism.ResultsThe distributions of genotypes and alleles of SNP276 both displayed significant difference among the three groups ( x2 =16.893,P =0.002 ; x2 =18.149,P =0.000).In the IGRA,the SNP276 non-TT ( GT + GG) genotype was no difference which increased risk of complicating with the different component numbers of MS( P =0.781,P =0.809).In IGRB,the SNP276 non-TT ( GT + GG) genotype was associated with increased risk of complicating with the different component numbers of MS,and after age and sex-adjusted,there was significant difference ( P =0.007,P =0.007).ConclusionsSNP276 in APM1 increased the risk of complicating with the components of MS in population with impaired glucose regulation in Han people of Shanxi region.

BACKGROUND:Degradable polymer materials initiate the degradation process immediately after implantation. How to regulate the degradation of these materials is rarely reported at present. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of ultrasonic wave on control ing the degradation of polymer materials. METHODS:The sample is made ofε-caprolactone/L-lactide copolymer, and its core was coated with low density polyethylene on the surface with the fol owing four different methods. (1) The core surface was firstly covered with CaCl 2 powder, and then coated with polyethylene. (2) The core was firstly coated with polyethylene and coarsened for 3 hours. (3) The core surface was firstly covered with CaCl 2 powder, and then coated with polyethylene, and coarsened for 3 hours. (4) The core was directly coated with polyethylene. The four kinds of specimens obtained were embedded in pork for ultrasonic bombardment experiment in vitro. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the specimens prepared with methods 1 and 4, the lyophobic layer could protect core materials before ultrasonic treatment, and no absorption peak was found at 631 nm. After ultrasonic treatment, the lyophobic layer was destroyed, toluidine blue dye was released, leading to change the color of immersion solution and increase the absorption peak at 631 nm. In the specimens prepared with methods 2 and 3,the lyophobic layer cannot exhibit the protection effects, the absorption peak was found at 631 nm. Under electron microscope, the appearance of the specimens in four groups was changed obviously. It is feasible to control the starting of the degradation by coating the degradable copolymer with LDPE and using ultrasonic as a trigger.
