Objective To discuss the factors which are related with curative effects of endoscopic sinus sur-gery of sinusitis and nasal polyps. Methods 480 patients with rhinosinusopatia who were received endoscopic sinus surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Results The curative rate was 74.5% ,improved rate was 18.1% ,ineffective rate was 7.3%,the effective rate was 92.7%. Conclusion ESS is an effective method for the treatment of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. However,the therapeutic effects were closely related with the clinical types of lesion. Ap-propriate treatment to the diseased middle turbinate and deviated nasal septum during the period of surgery and effec-tive combined treatment after operation are very importint to the long-term therapeutic effects of ESS on these lesion.

Objective To discuss the indications and efficacy for treating tibia insertion avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament(PCL)by the mean of the end of ligament suture via arthroscopy.Methods Twenty-one cases of tibia insertion avulsion fracture of PCL were treated with suture the end of ligament via arthroscopy from June 2007 to June 2009,including 14 males,7 females,with a mean age of 31.5 years(range,13-52 years).The insertion avulsion fragment was fixed to the tibia with two strands of 5Ethibond threads via arthroscopy.Two bone tunnels(2.5 mm in width)were made from the anterior part of the tibia to the posteromedial(at 4:30 toward)and posterolateral(at 7:30 toward)of the tibia bone bed respectively.Then the sutures were pulled out through the two bone tunnels and tied to the door-nail.Reduction and healing of the avulsion fragment,relaxation and mobility degree of knee,and the influence of osteoepiphysis to teenage patients were observed after surgery.KT-2000 value and Lysholm score were calculated.Results All cases were followed up from 10 to 24 months,with an average of 13.5 months.All the fragments were united without displacement in all cases according to X-ray films.One case showed posterior drawer test(+),but the tibia insertion was healed.The knee extension in all cases was unlimited,and 10° to 15° flexion limitation was found in 2 cases.The average range of flexion was 140.5°±3.8°.On average,KT-2000 value was(1.2±0.4)mm,Lysholm score was 95.2±2.7.Conclusion For treating the avulsion fracture of PCL,suture the end of ligament via arthroscopic transfixion can get a reliable fixation and a satisfied function of the knee,especially,which is suitable for the small avulsion fracture fragments,the adolescent patients with premature epiphysis.

Objective To investigate the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in colorectal carcinoma and the rela-tionship between ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and the occurrence, the metastasis of colorectal carcinoma, and to analyze the significance. Methods Immunohistochemistry staining(S-P method) was used to detect the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 on consecutive section in 78 cases of colorectal carcinoma and normal mucosa and 42 cases of colorec-tal adenomas. Plasma was obtained from 78 patients with colorectal carcinoma and 40 healthy volunteers prior sur-gery, by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results There was significant difference between the high expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in colorectal carcinoma and the low expression in normal mucosa and ade-noma(P < 0. 01). Serum ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were significantly higher in patients with colorectal carcinoma than those in normal control group(P < 0. 01). The ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 levels were not related to sex, age, tumor lo-cation and histological grades(P > 0. 05),but had significantly statistical difference between lymph node metastasis and Dukes stage(P < 0. 01). Conclusion The increase expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in colorectal cancer suggests that the ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 may play an important role in evaluation of malignant degree and judging the progress as well as the mechanism of colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of porous calcium phosphate bioceramics (PTCP)for treating stage FicatⅢ non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head(ONFH)in the patients aged below 60 years old.Methods A total of 41 patients (63 hips)with non-traumatic ONFH in our hospital from March 2006 to July 2009 were collected and divided into two groups.The group A (n=1 6)was performed the core decompression only,while the group B (n=25)was performed the core de-compression plus through the head-neck junction of the femur to opening the window light bulb shape focus debridement and impac-ting bone grafting combined with PTCP implantation.The various clinical evaluation indicators were observed and evaluated.Results No statistically significant differences in PRI were found at each time point in the group A.PRI at postoperative 1 month in the group B was significantly decreased than before operation,hereafter,the stable status was maintained and slightly risen again until postoperative 3 years(P =0.033).The Harris scores at postoperative all time points in the group A were significantly lower than those in the group B.The necrosis areas at postoperative 24 months,3,4,5 years in the group B were significantly decreased com-pared with before operation and lower than those in the group A.Conclusion PTCP implantation has satisfactory effect for the treatment of stage FicatⅢ non-traumatic ONFH in the patients aged below 60 years old.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has two important functional roles, including biomechanics and proprioceptive sense. A groat propr!oceptive sense is a basis to exactly obtain highly functional exercise. ACL injury may block perception and conduction information and seriously influence motion and daily activities. A complete rehabilitation of ACL function depends on rehabilitation of both mechanical structure and proprioceptive sense. Therefore, reconstruction of joint function following ACL injury is focus on reconstruction of both joint biomechanical stability and proprioceptive sense. This study was designed by distribution and function of proprioceptive sense to analyze the altemation of propdoceptive sense following ACE injury, and to investigate the related factors and ways for rehabilitation of propriocaptive sense following ACL reconstruction.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to compare and determine a kind of nano-hydroxyapatite composite material with good antibacterial efficacy on Enterococcusfaecalis (E. faecalis) in vitro.

METHODSWe investigated the antimicrobial activity of four kinds of nano-hydroxyapatite composites, namely, silver/hydroxyapatite composite nanoparticles (Ag/nHA), yttrium/hydroxyapatite composite nanoparticles (Yi/nHA), cerium/hydroxyapatite composite nanoparticles (Ce/nHA), and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA), against E. faecalis in vitro using the agar diffusion and broth dilution method by measuring the growth inhibition zone and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), respectively.

RESULTSThe agar diffusion test results showed that Ag/nHA displayed an obvious growth inhibition zone, whereas Yi/nHA, Ce/nHA, and nHA showed no influence on E. faecalis. The MIC value of Ag/nHA was 1.0 g.L-1, and the three other materials had no effect on E.faecalis even at the high concentration of 32.0 g.L-1.

CONCLUSIONAg/nHA display a potential antimicrobial efficacy to planktonic E.faecalis. Whereas, the three other kinds of nano-hydroxyapatite composites (Yi/nHA, Ce/nHA, nHA) show no influence.
