Objective To compare the results of different operative methods for old acromioclavicular dislocation. Methods Forty three patients with old acromioclavicular dislocation were treated with three different operative methods: 1)open reduction plus Kirschner wire fixation (9 cases); 2)open reduction plus reconstruction of acromioclavicular ligament (14 cases) and 3)open reduction plus modified Dewar s operation (20 cases). After surgery, the subjective symptoms of the arm, muscular contraction power, function of the shoulder joint and space of acromioclavicular joint in 43 cases were followed up for an average 4.8 years. Results The excellent results following three operative methods were seen in 33% , 50% and 74% respectively. There was no significant difference between Kirschner wire fixation and reconstruction of acromioclavicular ligament (P > 0.05). Modified Dewar's operation was better compared with Kirschner wire fixation and reconstruction of acromioclavicular ligament (P< 0.05). Conclusion A satisfactory surgical procedure for treatment of old acromioclavicular dislocation should accomplish the following points: removal of scar tissue and intra articular cartilaginous fragments, reconstruction of joint stability and effective internal fixation until complete healing of the ligament structures.

Objective To investingate the effect of survivin shRNA on chemotherapy resistance in GBC-SD cells. Methods They were divided into three groups of GBC-SD, GBC-SD/EGFP and GBC-SD/survivin. MTT assay was used to detect cell viability in the 3groups. mRNA and protein of survivin were tested by RT-PCR and Western blot. Then the cells were treated with proper construction DDP. The cell survival rate and IC_(50) were determined with MTT, cell apoptosis detected by FACS and the alteration of nucleus observed by TUNEL. Meanwhile, caspase-3 activity was determined using the colorimetric method. Results Cell viability was reduced remarkably in GBC-SD/survivin and survivin expression was decreased obviously. After being treated with DDP, cell survival rate and IC_(50) were decreased obviously in GBC-SD/survivin, apoptotic rate elevated remarkably compared with other groups. There were brownly nucleuses in three groups. Caspase-3 activity increased first and then decreased, but it exceeded in GBC-SD/survivin than that in other two groups. Conclusion The survivin shRNA can down-regulate the expression of survivin in GBC-SD cells remarkably and improve the sensibility to chemotherapy.

Objective To observe the expression of small ubiquitin?related modifiers(SUMO)protein in normal cultured human lens epithelial cells(SRA01/04)and discuss regulation effects of SUMO protein on oxidative stress induced by high glucose. Methods The expression and local?ization of SUMO 1,2/3,4 was detected in normal cultured SRA01/04 cells through immunocytochemistry. The mRNA expression levels of SUMO 1?4 were examined by RT?PCR after the SRA01/04 cells treated with high glucose media at different concentrations and time points. Samples were grouped by medium concentrations(glucoses 5.5 mmol/L,12.5 mmol/L,25 mmol/L,50 mmol/L respectively for 24 h)and by treatment time(0 h, 6 h,12 h and 24 h respectively). After highly efficient transfection of GFP?SUMO2 into SRA01/04 cells,the survival and apoptotic rates of transfect?ed and un?transfected cells treated with high glucose was detected by CCK8 method and AV/PI double staining flow cytometry. Results The immu?nocytochemistry results showed that SUMO1,2/3,4 proteins were mainly located in the nucleus of SRA01/04 cells and part of SUMO2/3 was in the cytoplasm. RT?PCR results showed that compared with the low?glucose group,the mRNA expression of SUMO1?4 was increased along the increas?ing glucose concentration in the high?glucose group(P<0.05). Compared with 0 h,the mRNA expression of SUMO1?4 was enhanced at 6 h,12 h and 24 h(P<0.05)in the high?glucose group treated at 50 mmol/L concentration. Compared with the un?transfected cells,the survival rate was in?creased and the apoptotic rate was decreased in GFP?SUMO2 transfected cells in oxidative stress induced by high glucose(P<0.05). Conclusion SUMO protein was positively expressed in SRA01/04 cells and the expression of SUMO mRNA was affected by oxidative stress induced by high glu?cose.

Objective:To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on blood glucose and insulin levels in chronic intermittent hypoxic(CIH)rats and the underlying mechanisms, and to provide new insights for the prevention and treatment of diabetes caused by CIH.Methods:SD rats were randomly divided into the blank control group, CIH control group and CIH exercise group.After adaptive feeding, a rat model of CIH was established.The CIH exercise group received non-weight bearing exercise training through swimming.After 4 weeks, all rats were sacrificed and levels of total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC), reactive oxygen species(ROS), malondialdehyde(MDA), fasting blood glucose(FPG)and fasting insulin(FINS)were measured.Results:Compared with the blank control group and CIH control group, levels of ROS, MDA, FPG, T-AOC, FINS and FPG were significantly different in the CIH exercise group( F=4.60, 5.03, 4.87, 4.52 and 6.42, P=0.021, 0.015, 0.017, 0.022 and 0.006). Compared with the blank control group, levels of ROS, MDA, FPG and FINS increased and levels of T-AOC declined in the CIH control and exercise groups(all P<0.05). Compared with the CIH control group, levels of ROS, MDA, FPG and FINS decreased and T-AOC levels increased in the CIH exercise group(all P<0.05). Conclusions:CIH increases blood glucose and insulin levels by activating the oxidative stress response.Aerobic exercise can reduce the impact of oxidative stress on blood glucose and insulin levels.
