Objective:To explore the molecular mechanism of Gold Theragran in the protection of renal function,and the inhibition of renal local rennin angiotensin(RA)system in the early diabetic nephropathy(DN),and to provide the theoretical and experimental data for clinical application to prevent the DN.Methods:The experimental rats consisted of 64 healthy SD rats,average 180-220g,female and male both a half,rat model of DN was established by improved method of YANG Junwei,s method of intraperitoneal injection of STZ after nephrectomy.8 Rats was taken as normal group,the rest of them were randomly divided into 5 groups:high,middle and low dose groups of Gold Theragran,Valsartan group,model group.In each group,blood glucose,blood lipids,urine microalbumin per 24 hours,KW/BW,renal angiotensin converting enzyme,plasma and renal angiotensin Ⅱ,and its type 1 receptor were observsd and measured.Results:①Rat's general status in each treatment group was improved compared with the DN model group.②The levels of serum glucose decreased in all treatment groups,especially the high-dose group and mid-dose group were significant(P0.05).③The levels of abnormally high lever of TG,TC decreased in treatment groups,especially the high-dose group and mid-dose group were significant(P0.05).The high-dose group had further function to regulate the lipids in the 28th day than in the 7th day(P0.05).Conclusion:Firstly,Gold Theragran had a therapeutic effect of protecting the renal function on the experimental DN rats;Secondly,Gold Theragran can inhibit the abnormal state of activated rennin angiotensin system in diabetic nephropathy,delay the development of diabetic nephropathy;Thirdly,with the treatment course prolonged,the effective of Gold Theragran might be more obvious,and different dose groups show dose-effect-dependent relationship.

Objective To explore the treatment method and clinical effect of LARS artificial ligament in treatment of combined anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) and posterior crueiate ligament (PCL) injuries of the knee under arthroscope. Methods Thirteen cases of ACL and PCL injuries were reconstructed with LARS ligament. The patients were followed up for 12-36 months. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm knee score scale were used for functional evaluation. In the meantime, KT-1000 was employed to check anterior and posterior laxation of the knee. Results No knee infection or limitation of knee extension occurred. Knee flexion was 105° -125° (average 117°). At termination of follow up, 10 cases (77%) was graded as A and 3 (23%) as B according to IKDC. KT-1000 examination at 25° flexion showed that the difference of anterior laxation was less than 2 mm in 12 cases and 3-5mm in 1. KT-1000 examination at 70°flexion showed that the difference of anterior laxation was less than 2mm in 12 cases and 2-4 mm in 1. The Lysholm score was (63.8±2.9) points (49459 points) before operation and (91.1 ±2.7) points (88-95 points) at follow up, with statistical difference (P ＜0.01). Conclusion Reconstruction of ACL and PCL by using LARS ligament under arthroscope is a kind of minimally invasive, safe and effective method to treat ACL and PCL injuries of the knee, with good short term outcome.

Physical activity is closely related to the quality of life of postoperative patients with breast cancer, which is expressed in fre-quency, duration, intensity, and others factors. There is no uniform measurement of physical activity, the common measurements may be classified as subjective and objective, such as exercise log, physical activity questionnaire and self-reported physical activities of the former;doubly labeled water, indirect calorimetry, motion sensors and heart rate monitors of the latter. The age, educational level, social and eco-nomic status, and body mass index are related to the level of physical activity in patients post operation for breast cancer, while illness and treatment, psychological and social support, and health-related quality of life also affect the level of physical activity, which suggest that such patients need to improve their physical activity before operation.

Objective To study the activation of macrophage and upregulation of CD40 in neutropenic and nonneutropenic lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI).Methods Forty mice were randomly divided into four groups (neutropenic septic group,neutropenic control group,non neutropenic septic group and normal control group).The pathologic changes of mice lungs were observed after hematoxylin and eosin staining.CD40 expression was determined by flow cytometry.Cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α levels from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum were measured by ELISA.Results The average weight and peripheral blood white cell counts were increased significantly in the neutropenic group as compared to the non neutropenic group before the rats were sacrificed [(181.13 ± 16.94) g vs (168.56 ±5.03) g,(9.54 ± 1.25) × 109/L vs (2.56 ± 1.12) × 109/L,P ＜0.05,respectively].The cell counts in BALF were higher in neutropenic septic and non neutropenic septic groups compared to the normal control group [(3.33 ±0.26) × 106/L,(3.23 ± 0.06) × 106/L,(1.68 ± 0.23) × 106/L,P ＜ 0.05].The concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α from serum were increased significantly in neutropenic septic and non neutropenic septic groups as compared to the normal control group [(2 337.08 ± 1 148.85) pg/ml,(2 274.01 ± 1 569.37) pg/ml,(96.20 ± 93.69) pg/ml,P ＜ 0.05].The CD40 molecular expressions were higher in neutropenic septic and non neutropenic septic groups compared to the normal control group [(42.06 ± 11.90) ％,(46.38 ±7.42) ％,(21.62 ± 4.86) ％,P ＜ 0.01].Conclusion Upregulation of CD40 molecule induces the inflammatory cytokines releasing,then leads to ALI.Therefore both the inflammatory cytokines and CD40 play vital role in the pathogenesis of ALI.

Objective To introduce the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy through ilioinguinal approach for the treatment of adult acetabular dysplasia. Methods From October 1997 to April 2001, 51 patients(53 hips) with acetabular dysplasia were operated upon with Bernese periacetabular osteotomies through ilioinguinal approach. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 30.6 years(range, 13-48 years). Male∶female= 1∶10. Preoperatively, the average duration of the symptoms was 3.4 years(3 months to 15 years), the range of motion(ROM) of the hip was normal in most patients. Average CE angle was 1.1?(?15?-15?); the Tonnis osteoarthritis grade was Ⅰto Ⅱ. Fifty three percent of the hips had Shentons line broken. Results Twenty four hips had 12 to 38 months followed up. Most patients were pain free; the hip ROM remained normal. Harris hip score increased from 79.8(64-83) pre operatively to 93.8(75-100) post operatively. CE angle increased to 40?(20?to 60?). Shentons line broken rate decreased to 33%. The complications include: 1 femoral nerve damage, 1 bladder malfunction and 2 skin incision hernia. Conclusion The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy through ilioinguinal approach is a safe and efficient procedure for the treatment of adult acetabular dysplasia. The deformities could be easily corrected, the anatomic relations could be restored nicely, the pelvic ring and the abductor muscles are reserved. The post operative recovery is fast, and it is efficient to prevent the development of osteoarthritis of the hip joint.

Objective To evaluate the results of treatment with the high tibial osteotomy and fixtation with the new Giebel blade plate for osteoarthritis of the knee, and to discuss the indication for this technique. Methods Seventy patients(108 knees), 14 male and 56 female, with an average age of 59.6 years (range 38-76)were reviewed. The average postoperative follow up was 12 months (from 6 to 20 months ). Pain was complained chiefly in the medial aspect of the knee joint and the majority of patients had slight degree of genu varum. This new Giebel blade plate acts as a tension band when it is placed on the site for fixation, the proximal tibial fibular joint was not exposed during surgery so that the fibular head was well preserved, avoiding common peroneal nerve injury. The periosteum opposite to the incision position was left intact for the sake of the stability and acted as a hinge around which the wedge osteotomy was closed. AP and lateral radiography of knee joint was taken pre and post operation for comparison. Results During the follow up, the patients show satisfied pain relief, improvement of joint function, correction of the deformity either genu varum or valgum. Earlier rehabilitation exercise should be carried out and the complication was rare. Conclusion The characteristics of this method are its convenient application, the stable fixation and the well preserved joint function. The advantage of high tibial osteotomy was shown sufficiently by the use of Giebel blade plate.

Objective To identify the types of γ?aminobutyric acid type A ( GABAA ) receptors in neurons in brain tissues at the target of anesthetic action of isoflurane in mice. Methods Two mouse strains were developed that were either sensitive or resistant to isoflurane. One hundred isoflurane?sensitive ICR∕CD?1 mice ( 50 males, 50 females) and 100 isoflurane?resistant ICR∕CD?1 mice ( 50 males, 50 fe?males) , aged 65-70 days, were used in this study. Brain tissues were obtained, and total RNA was ex?tracted and then reverse transcribed to cDNA using AMV reverse transcriptase. Polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the cDNA sequences. Chi?square analysis was used to compare the cDNA sequence of each GABAA receptor subunit between two strains. Results The cDNA sequence of GABAA receptor sub?units α1?6 , β2,3 andγ1?3 in isoflurane?sensitive strain was completely consistent with that in isoflurane?resist?ant strain. A single nucleotide polymorphism at the nucleotide position 462 ( C∕G) in the β1 sequence was found. The allele C frequencies were 11.0% and 87.0% in isoflurane?sensitive strain and isoflurane?resistant strain, respectively. Compared with isoflurane?sensitive strain, the allele C frequency in cDNA sequences of β1 subunit was significantly increased in isoflurane?resistant strain ( P<0.01) . Conclusion β1 subunit?containing GABAA receptor in neurons in brain tissues is the target of anesthetic action of isoflurane in mice.
