OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications of Triple-Endobutton plates in treating Tossy type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

METHODSFrom January 2011 to January 2013,45 patients with Tossy type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation were treated with Triple-Endobutton plates. There were 35 males and 10 females with an average age of 30.5 (ranged from 19 to 60) years old. At the final follow-up, VAS, DASH, Constant-Murley criterion were used to evaluate shoulder function.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 15 to 36 months. No neurovascular injury, wound infection and stress fractures were found,but 3 patients had a re-dislocation. At the final follow-up,the mean VAS score was decreased from (5.7±1.6) preoperatively to postoperative (0.2±0.1); DASH score was significantly decreased from (19.6±4.3) preoperatively to (0.3±0.1) postoperatively; Constant-Murley score was improved from (34.4±4.3) before operation to (94.8± 3.5) after operation.

CONCLUSIONClinical outcomes of treating Tossy type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation with Triple-Endobutton plates is satisfactory. However, re-dislocation is still the most common complication. Careful perioperative management is an important factor in preventing re-dislocation.

Objective To assess the safety and effectiveness of neonatal disease screening so as to provide basis for the establishment of a mechanism for managing neonatal disease screening. Methods Using the ideas of evidence-based medicine, a safety and effectiveness assessment of neonatal disease screening was made by means of literature induction. Results The techniques used in neonatal disease screening were highly safe, but their effectiveness was affected by a variety of links and factors. The differences reported in literature in such aspects as blood-collecting time, testing methods, cut-off values, and indexes for outcome evaluation might mean negative impact on the effectiveness. Conclusion More attention ought to be attached to the understanding and assessment of the safety of screening techniques and more efforts need to be made in conducting systematic studies into the effectiveness of screening techniques.

Objective To evaluate the hemodynamics change of brain before and after vertebrobasilar angioplasty and stenting in the patients with intracal stenosis.Methods All the indexes were compared among thirty-eight patients with intracal arterial stenosis,including mean peak flow velocity,systolic peak flow velocity,and resistance index of hemodynamics ; Cerebral blood volume ( CBV),cerebral blood flow (CBF)and middle time to peak(MTT) before and after the operation.Results After vertebro-basilar angioplasty and stenting in the 38 patients,the Vs of PCA were significantly lower in the affected side [ (226 ±27)cm/s vs (135 ± 18)cm/s; t =21.74,P ＜0.01 ].Significant difference was found between pro-and post stenting of rMTT and rCBF in the blood territories of stenotic cerebrovascular ( t =3.987,P =0.001 )and( t =-2.027,P =0.029),There was no significant difference between pro-and post stenting of rCBV in the blood territories of stenotic cerebrovascular ( t =-0.901,P =0.329).Conclusions Transcranial Doppler and CT perfusion can be used to evaluate hemodynamic changes before and after pereutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that after indirect co-culture of neonate rat myocardial cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into myocardial cells successfully. OBJECTIVE: To induce human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) to differentiate into endothelial cells using human umbilical vein endothelial cells by indirect co-culture. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: In vitro study of cell engineering was done at the Medical Research Center of Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital between January and July 2007. MATERIALS: Small quantities of bone marrow were obtained from 11 children with congenital heart disease but without hematologic diseases through manubrium of sternum puncture in the congenital heart defect corrective surgery after the permission of family member. Umbilical cord of full-term normal delivery healthy newborn was provided by the Department of Obstetrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Fresh cattle jugular vein was provided by Guangdong Dali Meat Cattle Butchery. METHODS: The hBMSCs were isolated and purified using density gradient centrifugation method and were cultured in vitro. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were obtained from newborn umbilical cord by enzyme digestion. Cell culture insert with semipermeable membrane combined with 6-well plate was used to do indirect co-culture induction. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were expanded in the cell culture insert, passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were expanded in the 6-well plate outside the culture insert at the density of 1?105 cells/well, the initial ratio of the two kinds of cells was 1:5, then low-glucose DMEM culture solution containing 10% fetal bovine serum was added, cells were cultured for 14 days. Co-culture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was used as control. Introduced endothelioid cells were cultured and then seeded on the cell-free cattle jugular vein intravascular stent. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphology changes of induced cells; introduced endothelioid cell surface antigen detected through immunocytochemical staining; the growth and adhesion condition of endothelioid cells on the intravascular stent observed under scanning electronic microsope. RESULTS: The morphologies of introduced endothelial cells were uniform, introduced endothelial cells presented a cobblestone-like appearance, they amplified fast and expressed endothelial cell-specific surface marker CD31 and vWF and the positive rate was over 99%. They also could form a continuous unicellular layer on the cell-free cattle jugular vein intravascular stent. CONCLUSION: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells can induce hBMSCs to differentiate into endothelial cells successfully and to adhere and grew on the cell-free cattle jugular vein intravascular stent through indirect co-culture method.

Objective To analyze the results of distal tibial pilon fractures treated with delayed open reduction and internal fixation. Methods From September 1997 to May 2001, 26 pilon fractures were stabilized temporarily by application of plaster splint, bandage, calcaneal traction (closed fracture) or unilateral external fixations (open fracture) immediately after injury. There were 19 males and 7 females with an average age of 37.6 years ( 15 to 58 years). Of 26 cases, 6 were open fractures and 20 close fractures, 18 of which were associated with fibular fracture. According to Ruedi-Allgower classification, the fractures were classified as typeⅠin 2, typeⅡin 15, and typeⅢ in 9. The conditions of soft tissue were divided into mild close injury without tension vesicle in 8, and severe injury with tension vesicle or open wound in 18. The definitive internal fixations were performed on an average of 10.2 days (range, 7 to 15 days) after injury as soon as the soft tissue recovered. The final outcomes of treatment were evaluated based on clinical rating and radiographic results. Results All patients were available for follow-up at an average of 3.8 years (range, 2 to 5.5 years) after surgery. All fractures healed at an average of 12.7 weeks (range, 8 to 29 weeks) postoperatively. There were 9 excellent(34.6%), 12 good (46.2%), 3 fair (11.5%), and 2 poor (7.7%) results according the ankle score of Teeny and Wiss. The results were significantly affected by the type of fracture and the severity of soft tissue injury, the excellent and good rate was 88.2% in typeⅠandⅡ, and 66.7% in typeⅢ; the total excellent and good rate was 100% in the patients with mild soft tissue injury, and 72.2% in the patients with severe soft tissue injury. The complications including 2 wound superficial infection and 1 skin necrosis, occurred in 3 patients(11.5%), which were successfully treated by local dressing changes. The incidence of osteoarthritis were found in 16 patients (61.5%) showed by X-ray films, but the radiographic manifestations did not correspond well with the clinical score. Conclusion This two-stage treatment protocol for pilon fracture has some advantages of fewer complications and good function.

The acetylation status of histones and non-histone proteins regulate chromatin remodeling and gene transcription. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), a promising therapeutic approach to cancer, are characteristic of causing accumulation of acetylated histones and other transcriptional regulators. Recent studies demonstrate that HDACi is able to arrest the cell cycle in G1 and/or G2 phase, and to induce apoptosis in a variety form of transformed cells with little toxicity to normal cells. However, the exact antitumor mechanisms of HDACi are still unclear. This review provides an update on the current knowledge of HDACi with a focus on HDACi-regulated cell growth arrest and apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the anti-fatigue mechanism of Relieving Fatigue Decoction(RFD). Methods 33 male SD rats were evenly randomized into control, model and RFD groups. 21d exhausted swim exercise was used to make an exercise-induced fatigue rat model. RFD group was given RFD in routine doses by gastric perfusion for 21d, once a day. After decapitation, the rats’ testis, liver and blood were taken, detecting MDA with thio-barbituric acid method, GSH and GSH-PX with chromatometry method, SOD with xanthine oxidase method, testosterone and corticosterone with ELISA method respectively. Results (1)Compared with control group, the serum MDA in model group increased significantly(P0.05); the testis, liver and serum GSH, GSH-PX reduced significantly(P0.05); the serum testosterone and corticosterone increased significantly(P0.05); the testis, liver and serum GSH increased significantly(P0.05); the liver SOD increased significantly(P0.05); the serum corticosterone decresed significantly(P0.05).Conclusion RFD may improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes in liver, testis and serum, and raise serum T/C level, which may underlie its action in impoving fatigue.
