Objective To discuss the necessity and methods of combined reconstruction of the injured posterior cruciate ligament(PCL)and posterolateral complex(PLC)of the knee. Methods From January 2001 to December 2006,28 patients with injury of both PCL(≥Ⅱ°b)and PLC(＞Ⅱ°)of the knee were treated operatively in our department.Eight patients received arthroscopic PCL reconstruction with single bundle of 5-6 strands of hamstring and conservative treatment of PLC during January 2001 to December 2003.Twenty Datients received arthroscopic PCL reconstruction followed by open operative repair of PLC with median 1/3 femoral biceps tendon and gracilis during January 2002 to December 2006. Results All the patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months postoperatively (mean,15 months).By Lysholm scoring,3 cases obtained good results and 5 poor in the first group,while 19 excellent and 1 good in the second group.The mean Lysholm scores were 47.1±8.2 and 86.7±7.2 respectively(P＜0.05).According to IKDC scale,3 patients(37.5%)in the first group and 19 patients (95.0%)in the second group were graded normal or nearlv normal(t=19.277,P＜0.05). Conclusion Arthroseopic PCL reconstruction with single bundle of 5-6 strands of hamstring plus PLC reconstruction with 1/3 femoral biceps tendon and gracilis is more reliable to restore the stability of the knee than PCL reconstruction only.

Objective Sphingosine kinase 1 (SPK1) has been identified as a central mediator of ischemia preconditioning, and it has been shown to protect reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced cardiomyocytes death. The present study aims at investigating the protective effects of adenovirus-mediated sphingosine kinase 1 gene (Ad-SPK1) transfer on ischemia-reperfusion induced cardiac injury. Methods Wistar rats were anesthetized and a left thoracotomy was performed. About 5?108 PFU of Ad-SPK1 in total volume of 100?l was injected intramyocardially into four separate sites of the left ventricular wall with a 30-gauge needle. The control rats received the same injection of adenovirus carrying green fluorescent protein gene (Ad-GFP). Three days later, hearts were isolated and subjected to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) (30min/30min) ex vivo. Heart performance was evaluated by measuring the left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP). The incidence of arrhythmia was recorded. Cardiomyocyte viability was detected by the detection of the release of creatine kinase (CK). The cardiac SPK1 activity was measured using an enzyme method. The forced and the total SKP1 expression was analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-FLAG and anti-SPK1 antibodies. Results The cardiac SPK1 activity was increased by about five-fold by injection of Ad-SPK1, compared to Ad-GFP control group. A more potent performance and a lower incidence of arrhythmia were observed in Ad-SPK1-injected hearts during the reperfusion period, compared with Ad-GFP-injected ones. Enzymatic activity assay showed that creatine kinase release was also less in Ad-SPK1-injected hearts. Conclusion Adenovirus-mediated SPK1 gene transfer efficiently protects heart from injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective: To examine the correlation between exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs ) and placental mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA ) copy number among pregnant women, so as to provide the evidence for evaluation of potential effects of PAHs exposure during pregnancy on offspring health. Methods: A total of 200 pregnant women delivered at a tertiary hospital in Urumqi City during the period from January to October 2019, and their newborns were recruited, and grouped according to the time of delivery, including the heating group [delivery during the heating period ( from January to April ) ] and the non-heating group [delivery during the non-heating period (from July to October) ]. Subjects'age, ethnicity, educational level and type of home heating were collected, and the total concentration of 16 PAHs was determined in the blood samples of pregnant women and their babies using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Placental DNA was extracted, and placental mtDNA copy number was measured using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR assay. In addition, the correlation between PAHs concentration and placental mtDNA copy number was examined using the Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results: There were 100 subjects in the heating group, which had a median age of 29 ( interquartile range, 3 ) years and had a mean gestational age of ( 275.06±0.72 ) days, and there were 100 subjects in the non-heating group, which had a median age of 29 ( interquartile range, 4 ) years and had a mean gestational age of ( 276.82±0.66 ) days. The total concentration of PAHs in the blood of pregnant women [15.71 (4.30) vs. 12.98 (5.49) μg/L; P<0.05 ], the total concentration of PAHs in neonatal blood [ 14.29 (4.25) vs. 11.24 (5.09) μg/L; P<0.05 ] and the placental mtDNA copy number [4.67 (1.18) vs. 4.51 (0.62); P<0.05] were all higher in the heating group than in the non-heating group. Spearman rank correlation analysis revealed that the total concentration of PAHs in the blood of pregnant women and neonates was positively correlated with placental mtDNA copy number ( rs=0.240, P=0.001; rs=0.273, P<0.001 ), and the total concentration of PAHs in the blood of pregnant women was positively correlated with the placental mtDNA copy number in the heating group ( rs=0.245, P=0.014 ), while the PAHs concentration in the neonatal blood was positively correlated with the placental mtDNA copy number in the non-heating group ( rs=0.292, P=0.003 ). Conclusions Exposure to PAHs positively correlates with placental mtDNA copy number among pregnant women, and there is a correlation between maternal exposure to PAHs and neonatal oxidative stress.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of each single and combined applications of ultrasound thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS), ultrasonic shear wave elastography in the diagnosis of thyroid microcarcinoma (TMC). METHOD: 323 patients with thyroid tiny nodules confirmed by surgery and pathology were analyzed prospectively. Then their TI-RADS and shear wave elastography features were summarized. SWE elasticity indices (mean, minimum and maximum value of interest) of nodules were measured. The surgical pathology results were regarded as the gold standard to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of TI-RADS, shear wave elastography and their combination in the diagnosis of TMC. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of TI-RADS, shear wave elastography and combined application of both were drawn. The area under the ROC curve were calculated. Furthermore, the value of combined application of both examinations in the diagnosis of thyroid microcarcinoma (TMC) was investigated. RESULT: From 323 nodules,253 were thyroid carcinomas and 70 were benign. Areas under the ROC curves (AUC) of SWE parameters were 0. 648,0. 629 and 0. 605. For SWE, the optimal cut-off value according to ROC curve was SWE_max = 65.50 kPa and SWE_mean = 37.50 kPa. Generally, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV were 88.14%, 82.86%, 87.00%, 94.89% and 65.91% for TI-RADS, and 49.01%, 74.29%, 54.49%, 87.32% and 28. 73% for SWE. There were statistically significant differences in the sensitivity, accuracy, PPV and no statistically significant differences in the specificity, and NPV. The sensitivity,specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV were 95.26%, 67.14%, 89.16%, 91.29% and 79.66% for combined application of both. The area under the ROC curve of TI-RADS, shear wave elastography and their combination were 0.763, 0.616, 0.804. For nodules ≤ 5 mm, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV were 91.67%, 66.67%, 87.07%, 92.44% and 64.29%. However, for nodules 5-10 mm,the sensitivity,specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV were 98.50%, 67.44%, 90.91%, 90.34% and 93.55%. CONCLUSION The diagnose of TMC can be further improved by combined application of ultra-sonic TI-RADS and SWE.
