[Objective]To investigate the clinical results and significance and mechanism of early dislocation rate after total hip arthroplasty following the posterolateral approach with posterior capsulotendinous repaired.[Method]The incidence of early dislocation and the prosthetic range of rotation motion among 212 consecutive primary THAs with the posterior capsule and the short external rotators which had been sutured to the medius tendon was reviewed retrospectively,and was compared to the results of 486 consecutive unilateral primary THAs with a complete posterior capsulectomy.[Result]During a 6 months to 5 years(3.7 years in average)following-up,there were significant differences between two groups.In patients with posterior capsulotendinous repair,two of 224 primary total hip arthroplasty(0.9%) had an early posterior dislocation.In patients with a complete posterior capsulectomy,27 of 486 primary total hip arthroplasty(5.6%) had an early dislocation.The difference was statistically significant(x~2=8.51,P

Endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS) is a kind of subcellular pathological state,and associated with many diseases.Recently,the research of ERS on chondrocyte is at the beginning stage,and may be involved in pathogenisis of rheumatoid arthritis(RA) and osteoarthritis(OA).It has been proved that ERS can interfere the differentiation of chondrocyte,decrease the synthesis of abnormal protein,attenuate the injury of cell.But overreaction of ERS can cause chondrocyte apoptosis through an independent pathway without of Fas and NO.There are three signal transmission passages in ERS:ATF-6(activating transcription factor 6)、Ire 1(inositol-requiring 1)and PERK(PKR-like ER kinase).The three protein molecules activate apoptotic genes by TRAF-2(TNF receptor-associated factor 2)and GADD153(growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible gene 153),initiate the chondrocyte apoptosis.Therefore,ERS may effect the pathogensis of RA and OA by modulating chondrocyte function and inducing apoptosis,but more research are needed to reveal the mechanism.

Objective The paper described a convenient and sensitive radioirnmunoassav method which can be used to measure the amount of morphine in a single hair. Method Succinvl-eggalbumin-morphine was used as immunogen to immunize New Zealand rabbits for obtaining high quality antiserum. The morphine- labeled with Iodine-125 was purified by HPLC. The radioimmunoassay method was established and the amount of morphine in a single hair was detected. Results The affinity constant of antibody is 3.25 ? 10~11L/M. The radiochemical purity of I-mophine is 95% and the specific radioactivity is 112?Ci/?g. The detection limit for morphine (3SD from zero-dose binding) is 0.01ng/ml. Five normai person's single hair and five addict's were detected . The length of these specimens is 9-24cm and the weight of them 0.7- 2. 1mg. The amount of morphine in the hair of normai person is 1. 75 ? 0.37ng/mg (x ? 5) and that of the addictos'is 471 ?204ng/mg (x ? s). Conclusion This method can be employed for accurate mea-surement of the amount of morphine in a single hair and the result can be adopted to indicate the probability of illicit-drug use.

[Objective] To observe the in-vitro inductive effect of ginsenosides (GS) on differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) into myocardial cells. [Methods] Marrow stromal cells were isolated from adult SD rats, and then were cultured and cloned by density gradient method and adhesive cultivation to prepare the primary MSC. The cell surface antigens of CD34 and CD44 were detected with flow cytometer to identify MSC. After subculture, the 8th generation of continuous MSC were induced by GS (250 mg/L) and 5-aza (5-azacytidine, 10 ?mol/L) and GS + 5-aza (250mg/L and 10 ?mol/L respectively) for 24, 48 and 72 hours to differentiate to myogenic cells. Meanwhile, a blank control group was set to compare the effect. After the induction, myocardial cell percentage was worked out after examining MSC count and positive cells count under the phase contrast microscope. The specific proteins of Desmin and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in myocardial cells were detected by immunohistochemistry method, and the cardiac-specific gene expression of ?-MHC (myosin heavy chain) and ?-MHC in myocardiocytes was examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. [Results] The cultured marrow stromal cells grew well, spindle in shape, and their CD44 expression was positive, indicating that marrow stromal cells differentiated to MSC. After induction with GS and 5-aza, MSC differentiated to myocardial cells, and the myocardial cell percentage was 38% in GS group, 35% in 5-aza group and 39% in GS + 5-aza group, the difference being insignificant. The expression of Desmin, cTnI and MHC in MSC was positive, and MSC were spindle-shaped and looked like fibroblast, indicating that MSC differentiated to myocardial cells. [Conclusion] Ginsenosides can induce MSC to differentiate to myogenic cells in-vitro, and this will supply evidence for cell transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of fentanyl on the efficacy of low-dose ropivacaine for spinal anesthesia in patients undergoing anorectal surgery.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-55 yr,with body mass index 18-28 kg/m2,scheduled for anorectal surgery,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20 each):0.5％ ropivacaine 7.5 mg group (group R) and 0.3％ ropivacaine 6.0 mg+ fentanyl 10 μg group (group RF).A catheter was implanted into the subarachnoid space (L3.4 interspace) and advanced caudally until lumbar region.Group R received hyperbaric 0.5％ ropivacaine 1.5 ml.Group RF received 2.0 ml mixture of hyperbaric 0.3％ ropivacaine 6.0 mg and fentanyl 10μg.The onset time of sensory and motor block,upper level of sensory block,and duration of sensory and motor block were recorded.Motor block was assessed by modified Bromage scale.Results Compared with group R,the duration of sensory and motor block was significantly shortened,and modified Bromage scores were significantly decreased in group RF (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01),and no significant change was found in the onset time of sensory and motor block and upper level of sensory block between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion 0.3 ％ ropivacaine 6.0 mg combined with fentanyl 10 μg provides satisfactory spinal anesthesia for anorectal surgery,with lower degree and faster recovery of motor block.

Objective To evaluate the effects of propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia on cognitive function and amyloid beta protein ( Aβ) deposition in hippocampi of aged mice. Methods Thirty?six SAMP8 mice, aged 6 months, weighing 29-32 g, were randomly assigned into 4 groups ( n=9 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C ) , propofol anesthesia group ( group P ) , sevoflurane anesthesia group (group S) and propofol plus sevoflurane anesthesia group (group PS). In group P, propofol 140 mg∕kg was injected intraperitoneally, when righting reflex occurred, additional propofol 70 mg∕kg was given, and when it occurred again, additional propofol 40 mg∕kg was given. Group S continuously inhaled 1% sevoflurane for 120 min. Group PS continuously inhaled 2% sevoflurane for 120 min, and when righting reflex occurred, additional propofol 40 mg∕kg was given. Anesthesia was maintained for 120 min in P, S and PS groups. Before anesthesia and at 7, 14 and 28 days after anesthesia, Morris water maze test was performed, and the escape latency was recorded. Hippocampi were obtained to determine the expression of Aβ using immuno?histochemistry. Results Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged at 7 days after anesthesia, and the expression of Aβwas up?regulated at 7, 14 and 28 days after anesthesia in group S, and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in P and PS groups. Compared with the value at 7 days after anesthesia, the expression of Aβ was significantly down?regulated at 14 and 28 days after anesthesia in group S, and no significant change was found in the expression of Aβ at 14 and 28 days after anesthesia in C, P and PS groups. Conclusion Although sevoflurane anesthesia promotes Aβ deposition in hippocampi, it only causes short?term cognitive dysfunction, however, anesthesia with propofol or with propofol in combination with sevoflurane produces no influence in aged mice.

ObjectiveTo study the anatomic characteristic of the attachment of medial patellofemoral ligament and its function in patellar stability. MethodsThirty adult cadaver knees were used for anatomic study, and the attachments of medial patellofemoral ligament were observed and measured. Results The femoral attachment of medial patellofemoral ligament was anchored to the bone between the medial femoral epicondyle and the adductor tubercle. The fibers here were thin and narrow, and became thick and wide to the anterior. The patellar attachment was in the superior two-thirds of the medial margin of the patella. The fiber here were the thickest and the widest. Conclusion The anatomic characteristic of the attachment of medial patellofemoral ligament was revealed, providing anatomical bases for surgery.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of thoracic pedicle screw placement using the "funnel technique" and investigate its consistency in experimental study and clinical application.Methods The clinical data of three human cadavers and 11 patients with the installation of at least one thoracic pedicle screw at T1 -T12 from August 2006 to July 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. One junior spine surgeon lack of experience were responsible for placing these screws with the "funnel technique".The accuracy of screw placement and the complications related to the use of thoracic pedicle screws were analyzed by assessing postoperative CT scans. Results The mean follow-up time was 23.1 months,which showed no vascular or visceral complications, or iatrogenic neurological injury. The rate of unintended cortex perforations was 14% (10/72) in cadavers and 15% (8/55) in patients, respectively.The critical perforation occurred in two screws (3%) in cadavers and one screw (2%) in patients. There was no statistical difference between the percentage of cortex perforations in cadavers and patients. Of all the 11 patients, screw violation occurred laterally in six ( 11% ), medially in one ( 2% ) and superiorly in one (2%). No violations occurred inferiorly or anteriorly. For all patients, only one screw needed revision. The perforations made by the junior spine surgeon occurred in six screws in the first cadaver, three in the second cadaver and one in the third cadaver. Conclusions The "funnel technique" is a simple,safe, accurate and cost-effective technique for pedicle screw placement. The result of the experimental study is consistent with that of the clinical application. "funnel technique" is helpful for junior spine surgeons to master the technique of thoracic pedicle screw placement.
