[Objective]To treat the femoral neck fracture using cannulated screw and BMP release system in animals,and to evaluate the possibility of treating femoral neck fracture and provide experimental basis for clinical application.[Method]Eighteen mongeral were used in this study.The model of bilateral femoral neck dislocation fracture was established.The control side was fixed using cannulated screw,and the experiment side was fixed with cannulated screw and injectable BMP release system.At 4,8,12 weeks,6 animals were sacrificed at one time point respectively.Results were obtained through histology,radiography,scintimetry and gross observation.[Result]The fracture line was vague at four weeks,and at eight weeks the fracture line almost disappeared.It was healed completely at twelve weeks.Radiological study showed that the healing of the fracture in experimental side was better than that of the control side.There was the same result of observation in histology.[Conclusion]The cannulated screw combined with BMP used in the experiment is effective and feasible.It may not only provide strong internal fixation but also infuse growth factor into site of fracture.It would accelerate the reconstructing of the vascular supply to the femoral head after the fracture and promote the restoration of bone.

AIM: To observe the effect of compound anisodine injection combined with yi-qi-tong-luo acupuncture, hot compress and massage for blepharospasm.
METHODS: Selected in our hospital, 60 cases (78 eyes) with blepharospasm were randomly divided into two groups, 30 cases 39 eyes in each group. The observation group were treated with compound anisodine injection combined with yi - qi - tong - luo acupuncture treatment, and supplemented by hot compress and massage, while the control group only with compound anisodine injection. We compared the treatment effect of the two groups.
RESULTS: In the observation group, 38 eyes were clinically effective, 1 eye was invalid, 35 eyes marked, the total effective rate was 97%, the markedly effective rate was 90%; in control group, 32 eyes were the clinically effective, 7 eyes invalid, 23 eyes marked, the total effective rate was 82%, the markedly effective rate was 59%; the total effective rate and markedly effective rate of observation group were higher than those of the control group with statistical difference (P<0. 05). The recurrence rates of the two groups were 5% and 34%, respectively, and the recurrence rate of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P <0. 05).
CONCLUSION: The compound anisodine injection combined with yi - qi - tong - luo acupuncture, hot compress and massage for blepharospasm, can significantly improve the efficiency of treatment, with higher effective rate and lower recurrence rate, compared with using compound anisodine alone.

BACKGROUND:Compared with traditional hydrogels, intel igent hydrogels can appear to exhibit different responses to different stimuli such as temperature, pH value, light, and magnetic field, produce two-stage structure and alter chemical structure to generate the ordered supramolecular structure by self-assembling, and ultimately cause the formation of the gel with three-dimensional structure.
OBJECTIVE:To review the research status of intel igent hydrogels and its application in tissue engineering.
METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed to retrieve articles addressing intel igent hydrogels in tissue engineering published before 2014. The keywords were“hydrogel, tissue engineering”in Chinese and English.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intel igent hydrogels are classified into temperature sensitivity, pH sensitivity, photosensitivity, magnetic susceptibility and temperature/pH dual responsive hydrogels. The change of the external environment can be automatical y detected and responded. Intel igent hydrogels exhibit a series of outstanding performances in drug delivery systems, drug delivery, repair and improvement of defected tissues, which are not possessed by traditional materials. In particular, the intel igent hydrogels show considerable superiorities in tissue engineering, including low immunogenicity that reducing inflammation and rejection, biodegradability, realizing the three-dimensional scale simulation of cel microenvironment that is conducive to cel adhesion, growth, migration and differentiation.

BACKGROUND: Defatting is to reduce the special cell surface antigens by clearing fat and lipoprotein, so as to decrease immunological rejection, improve the biocompatibility of allograft bone, and increase osteogenic potential. However, the effect of defatting on biomechanical performance of bone remains controversial.OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of defatting on the biomechanics of bovine cortical bone samples.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized, self-controlled observation was performed in Futian People's Hospital of Guangdong Medical College between 2006 and 2008.MATERIALS: Eight pairs of healthy adult bovine femora were used. Bone blocks, 50 mm long and 10 mm wide, were selected from each pair of femora, and burnished into 24 pairs of 7 mm×7 mm×40 mm rectangular bovine cortical bone samples.METHODS: The 24 pairs of cortical bone samples were randomly divided into two groups (n=12). One of each pair was selected as test group sample, and the other as control group sample. The samples of test group were defatted In 500 mL chloroform and methanol mixture (1:1) for 24 hours, while control samples were immerged in deionized water for 24 hours. Six samples from each group were selected for axial compressive test and three-point bending test.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Load and deflection of every sample.RESULTS: Axial compressive test showed that the maximum load and the maximum strain of defatted samples were significantly decreased compared with control group, but the fragility and elastic modulus were increased (P < 0.05). In three-point bending test, the maximum load and the maximum stress of defatted sampled were significantly decreased, the maximum deflection was decreased, and the elastic modulus was increased (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: The mechanical strength of cortical bone decreased but the fragility increased after defatting.

Objective To study the application CT scans in Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum. Metlhods 648 children with pectus excavatum underwent Nuss procedure from July 2002 to September 2008 The preoperative CT scan was carried out for evaluation of the deformity degree and morphology classification of chest wall malformation, the deformity in relation with adjacent tissue and associated different disorder. Results Nuss procedure was successfully performed in all 648 patients. The preoperative CT scan showed medium deformity of the pectus excavatum in 73 cases ( 11.27% ) and severe deformity in 575 cases (88.73%). Morphologic classification of the pectus excavatum were symmetric type in 407cases (62.81% ) , eccentric type in 83( 12.81% ) ,and unbalanced type in 158( 24.38% ). 116 cases with pectus excavatum were associated with other different disorders, among them 55 cases ( 17.9% )were diagnosed by CT scan. 28 cases received stimultanously operation for their abnormalities. Conclusion CT scan is a useful tool for evaluation the deformity degree and morphology classification, direct the operation, reduce the complications and find other different disorders.

Method of isolation and purification of recombinant hepcidin was described, and the bioactivity of the protein was assayed in this paper.The oxidation of his-hepcidin was carried out in the cysteine-cystine system, and the multimers were removed through gel filtration under denaturation condition.Then the protein was refolded by continuous dilution and digested by enterokinase.The total yield of his-hepcidin before enterokinase cleavage is 50%, and the purity is above 95%.Through agar diffusion assay, the recombinant hepcidin displayed obvious antibacterial activity against B.subtilis.The LC-ESI-MS analysis of recombinant hepcidin showed that the measured molecular weight accorded with the calculated molecular weight, and the CD spectrum indicated that the secondary structure of recombinant hepcidin is similar with native hepcidin.

AIM To study the effects of growth inhibition of different concentrations of diallyl trisulfide(DATS) on gastric cancer MGC 803 cell line in vitro. METHODS The influence of different concentrations of DATS were examined by MTT assay, clonal formation rates and cell growth curve. RESULTS Suppression and decrease of MGC 803 cell proliferation was found after treatment by DATS in vitro. The inhibitory rates on MGC 803 cell growth of different concentration of DATS,4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 mg?L -1 , were 26%,46%,65%,76% and 89% respectively, and its half inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) was 8 2 mg?L -1 . The clonal formation rates and clonal formation relative counts of 8, 12, 16 and 24 mg?L -1 were 32 4% and 58 7%,24 8% and 42 5%,19 0% and 33 5%?8 8% and 15 1% respectively.There was significant correlation between dose and effect in all, and the cell growth culve became lower and flatter when concentration of DATS increase gradually. CONCLUSION The effect of growth inhibition of DATS for gastric cancer MGC 803 cell in vitro is remarkable.

Objective To observe and analyze the CT and MR imaging of the structures in the region of the jugular foramen (JF) on the base of thin-slice anatomic study. Methods Having been scanned by multislice CT and 1.5T MR scanner, two formalin-preserved adult cadavers were dissected into 1.0 mm thickness contiguous sections in transverse plane. Twenty cases without skull base and nasopharyngeal history received routine and post-contrast CT examinations with spiral and HQ mode. Twenty healthy volunteers received MR scanning, including SE T 1WI, FSE T 2WI, and 3D RF-FAST (3D Radio-Frequency Fourier Acquired Steady-State) sequences. Results JF region was divided into three levels, which included inner aperture, the jugular cavity, and the outer aperture. At the entrance of JF, there were glossopharyngeal canal and vagal canal, which wrapped the Ⅸ nerve and Ⅹ and Ⅺ nerves, respectively. CT images could display these canals in 20 cases (100%). Furthermore, the Ⅸ, Ⅹ, and Ⅺ nerves could be identified on different MR sequences. 17 cases (85%) were displayed on 3D RF-FAST, 14 cases (70%) on SE T 1WI, and 10 cases (50%) on FSE T 2WI, respectively. From the anterior to the posterior compartment within the JF cavity, the structures ranged as follows: the Ⅸ nerve, the inferior petrosal sinus, the Ⅹ and Ⅺ nerves, and the jugular bulb. These neuro-vessel structures could not be distinguished on CT, SE T 1WI, and FSE T 2WI images, except for 3D RF-FAST (16 cases, 80%). The outer aperture of JF was adjacent to the hypoglossal canal. The shape of JF outer aperture could be evaluated on CT images. On the oblique plane, which was parallel to the hypoglossal canal, the posterior cranial nerves could be detected to enter/exit the skull through the JF and hypoglossal canal separately. Conclusion The complement of CT and MR imaging would be helpful to distinguish the structures in the region of JF.
