Objectives: To investigate the effects of adhesion and proliferation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in the surface of lactic acid/glycolic acid/asparagic acid-co-polyethylene glycol PLGA-[ASP-PEG] tri-block polymer scaffolds, try to find a new biomaterial to induce seed cells in vitro for bone tissue engineering. Methods: Modified PLGA with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and asparagic acid (ASP) that has many ligands, and synthesis PLGA-[ASP-PEG] polymer material. BMSCs were cultured in PLGA-[ASP-PEG] polymer material and PLGA used as control group. Through precipitation method, MTT assay and total cellular protein detection to test the adhersion and proliferation of BMSCs. Scanning electron microscope is used to observe cells appearance. Results: BMSCs on the surface of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] polymer scaffolds are adherention to the culture flask, the number of cells is much higher than PLGA’s. The precipitation method suggest that adhesion and proliferation of BMSCs on the surface of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] is much higher than the control group(P

Objective To observe the outcomes of hip arthroplasty with modular S-ROM prosthesis for failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric fracture.Methods Fifteen patients who had been admitted for failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric fracture from January 2013 to May 2015 were reviewed retrospectively in this study.They were 9 men and 6 women,aged from 55 to 86 years (average,72 years).Their primary internal fixation methods included dynamic hip screw (DHS) in 7 patients,proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) in 5 and proximal femoral locking plate in 3.The causes for internal fixation failure were implant loosening in 5 patients,screw breakage in 6,and cutting-out of screws in 4.All the patients received hip arthroplasty with modular S-ROM prosthesis to treat their fracture nonunion or displacement.Harris hip scores were measured before operation and at the final follow-up.Results Their average operative time was 156 min (from 118 to 180 min) and average intraoperative blood loss 432 mL (from 230 to 700 mL).No fracture or neurovascular damage occurred during operation.The 15 patients were followed up for 13 to 35 months (mean,24 months).Postoperative dislocation of the artificial joint happened in one patient and nonunion of the greater trochanter due to massive bone defects was observed in 2 patients.Follow-ups showed none of the patients had such severe complications as infection,deep vein thrombosis or peri-prosthesis fracture.At the last follow-up,15 patients obtained Harris hip score of 90.6 (from 78 to 95),with 11 excellent,3 good and one fair cases.Conclusion Hip arthroplasty with modular S-ROM prosthesis is a safe and effective treatment for failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric fracture.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical outcomes of percutaneous intervertebral foramina endoscopic lumbar discectomy for elder patients with lumbar spinal stenosis syndrome.
METHODSFrom July 2006 to July 2011, 60 elder patients with lumbar spinal stenosis syndrome were treated with surgical operation, including 32 males and 28 females with an average age of (66.7 +/- 2.5) years old ranging from 72 to 83 years. These patients were divided into the traditional surgery group and percutaneous intervertebral foramina endoscopic discectomy groups (PTED group), 30 cases in each group. The index of the preoperative and postoperative, operative incision visual analogue scale (VAS) of two groups were compared. The Oswestry disability index (ODI) of two groups at 6, 24 months of the follow-up were also evaluated on activity of daily living.
RESULTSThe average operative time, the average blood loss, the number of cases using analgesic drug, hospitalization time of PTED group were better than those of the traditional surgery group (P < 0.05). The improvement of incision VAS in PTED group was better than that in the traditional surgery group (P < 0.05). All patients were followed up for 24 months at least. The ODI at 1, 24 month after operation were better than that of preoperative in two group respectively (P < 0.05), but the improvement of PTED group was better than that of the traditional surgery group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONPTED has the advantages of smaller incision, less bleeding, less postoperative stay and hospitalization time, tissue trauma and quicker recovery. It is a safe and efficacious minimally invasive surgical technique for elder patients with lumbar spinal stenosis syndrome.

A rapid and convenient ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS / MS) method for analysis of ribavirin and its two main kinds of metabolites, 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (TCONH2 ) and 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid (RTCOOH), in fresh eggs has been developed and validated. The sample was extracted with acetonitrile water (9 ∶ 1, V/ V), added N-hexane to move liposoluble substances, after centrifugation, the upper solvent was cleaned-up by C18 and GCB, then determined by UPLC-MS / MS coupled with Agilent ZORBAX SB-Aq column (100 mm×3. 0 mm, 1. 8 μm). Over the concentration range of 2. 0-200. 0 μg / L (0. 5-200. 0 μg / L and 5. 0-200. 0 μg / L) for ribavirin (TCONH2 and RTCOOH) in fresh egg matrix, the correlation coefficients (R2 ) of the calibration curves were above 0. 99, and the limits of detection (LODs) were 0. 54 μg / L (0. 09 and 1. 54 μg / L). The limits of quantitation (LOQs) were 1. 79, 0. 31 and 5. 13 μg / L, respectively. At three spiked concentration levels of 5. 0, 10. 0 and 50. 0 μg / L, the recoveries of ribavirin and RTCOOH ranged from 96. 1% to 99. 6%and 42. 9% to 58. 3% . And at three spiked concentration levels of 0. 5, 2. 0 and 5. 0 μg / L, the recoveries of TCONH2 ranged from 75. 9% to 106. 7% . The results of the determination in various real samples showed that the method is simple, accurate, rapid and suitable determination of ribavirin and its two main kinds of metabolites in fresh eggs.

Objective To explore the effects of surface modification of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] scaffold with typeⅠcollagen on the adhesion,proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs).Methods After PLGA-[ASP-PEG] materials were modified with typeⅠcollagen chemically,the collagen was coated onto the materials physically.The BMSCs obtained from rabbits were cultured on the modified PLGA-[ ASP-PEG] and on the unmodified PLGA-[ ASP-PEG] as control.The adhesion and proliferation behavior of the cells was analyzed and the expressions of osteogenie marker alkaline phosphatase,osteocalcin,osteopontin,typeⅠcollagen and core binding factor al were also detected.Results X-ray photoelectron spectrometry(XPS) confirmed that TypeⅠcollagen was grafted onto the surface of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] successfully and the collagen content on the materials modified chemically and physically was significantly increased.The abilities of adhesion and proliferation and the expressions of osteogenie makers of the BMSCs were significantly greater than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Since Type collagen I can improve the biocompatibility of PLGA- [ASP-PEG] scaffold materials,it can be used as a new way to optimize scaffolds in tissue engineering.
