BACKGROUND:There are many complications of limb salvage surgery in patients with osteosarcoma of the middle tibia, and the limb salvage surgery is one of the current difficulties in clinical treatment. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of reconstruction with massive al ograft bone for osteosarcoma of the middle tibia by retrospectively reviewing relevant cases. METHODS:Seven patients with osteosarcoma of the middle tibia were treated. And we analyzed their clinical data retrospectively. Al patients completed the formal preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and we confirmed that there was no distant metastasis before surgery. Al patients received large al ogeneic bone transplantation and internal fixation, and the gastrocnemius muscle flap coveraged graft bone in surgery. The average length of al ogeneic bone was 12.5 cm. Five patients received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy completely, and two patients received partly. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The fol ow-up period was 18-36 months. One patient had local tumor recurrence at 1 year after transplantation, and died of lung metastases after amputation. One patient survived after resection of lung metastases that occurred at 1.5 years after transplantation. One patient died of lung metastases at 2 years after transplantation. The rest four patients were tumor-free. The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 26.5, the mean International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS) graft score was 31. Among four underage patients, one had leg length deformities, with limb shortening 2 cm. There were no postoperative infections and pathological fractures. Using large al ogeneic bone for the repair of bone defects after tumor surgery of the middle tibia can have a good clinical efficacy under the premise of strict indications. Using gastrocnemius muscle flap to cover the bone graft during surgery is an effective measure to reduce postoperative complications.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that minichromosome maintenance 3 is related with fluorosis, but the expression of minichromosome maintenance 3 in fluorosis patients is not clear yet.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the mRNA expression level of minichromosome maintenance 3 in peripheral blood from patients exposed to fluoride and normal controls.
METHODS:Eleven patients with mild fluorosis by drinking water (exposure group) and 11 cases of control (non-exposure group) were selected for research. SYBRGreen1 real-time quantitative PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression of minichromosome maintenance 3 in peripheral blood mononuclear cel s, and the liver and renal function indicators were detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:mRNA expressions of minichromosome maintenance 3 in the exposure group and non-exposure group were (0.573 60±0.102 59) and (0.550 0±0.171 81), respectively, and there was no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the liver and renal function indicators between two groups. The results indicate that mild fluorosis has no significant effect on mRNA expression of minichromosome maintenance 3 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cel s. More indicators are needed to compressively analyze the effect of fluoride on the liver and renal functions.

Objective: To understand the trends in malnutrition among primary and middle school students of Han nationality in Hainan Province from 2005 to 2019, so as to provide a basis for improving nutrition intervention measures for children and adolescents. Methods: A sample of 32 949 Han nationality primary and middle school students aged 7-18 years old in Hainan Province were investigated in 2005, 2010, 2014 and 2019 based on national survey on student physical fitness and health. The Malnutrition Screening Standard of Schoolage Children and Adolescents was used to screen malnutrition. Statistical analysis was performed using the χ2 test and the χ2trend test. Results: In the four surveys conducted during 2005 to 2019, the prevalence of malnutrition among primary and middle school students were 22.12%, 18.80%, 15.89% and 9.56%, respectively, with an increase of -12.56% and an average annual increase of -5.82%. The decreasing trend of malnutrition by year was statistically significant (χ2trend=600.72, P<0.01), and the proportion of emaciation type was the highest (8.87%-20.15%). The detection rates of malnutrition among all students aged 7 to 18 showed a decreasing trend from 2005 to 2019 (χ2trend=56.44, 60.04, 61.48, 42.49, 51.81, 50.81, 72.86, 101.34, 86.38, 24.81, 17.72, 10.38, P<0.01). From 2005 to 2019, the detection rates of malnutrition in boys were higher than that of girls (in 4 surveys), and that in rural students from 2005 to 2014 of 3 surveys were higher than that in towns (χ2=92.07, 35.16, 25.29, 29.98; 64.35, 4.26, 6.32, P<0.05). Conclusions The malnutrition of Han nationality primary and middle school students aged 7-18 years in Hainan Province show a trend of improvement year by year from 2005 to 2019, despite the overall high detection rate. Wasting is the most common type of malnutrition. The epidemic of malnutrition varies by age, sex and areas. Further targeted measures should be taken to strengthen intervention in the diet of primary and middle school students, to improve the nutritional status of children and adolescents.

BACKGROUND:At present,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are the main seed cells used in cell therapy for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.However,the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as seed cells for the regeneration of fibrous rings is at risk of heterotopic ossification and teratoma at the repair site.Therefore,it is of great economic and social significance to find a new kind of seed cells for tissue engineering of annulus fibrosus for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration. OBJECTIVE:To isolate and purify rat annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells by adherent method combined with fibronectin differential adhesion screening method,and to observe its purification effect and biological characteristics. METHODS:Annulus fibrosus tissue was obtained from a SD rat intervertebral disc.Primary annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells were obtained by the mechanical-enzymatic digestion method.Annulus fibronectin differential adhesion method was used to purify annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells.Morphological changes and proliferation of cells were observed through a microscope.The expression levels of stem cell markers were detected by immunofluorescence technique and qPCR.The screened cells were subjected to multi-lineage cell differentiation and characteristic gene detection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The purified cells grew well,and most of them were angular and star-shaped multi-process cells,which had good proliferation ability.(2)Cells were positive for cell membrane surface antigens CD73,CD90 and CD105,while negative for CD45 and CD34.(3)After specific induction,cells could successfully differentiate into osteoblasts,chondroblasts and lipoblasts.(4)Collagen-I,Runx-2 after osteogenic induction,Collagen Ⅱ,Sox-9 after chondrogenic induction,and PPAR-γ and LPL after lipogenic induction were highly expressed in cells,and the difference was significant compared with that before induction(P<0.05).(5)These findings confirm that the adherent method combined with fibronectin differential adhesion method is effective enough to screen,isolate and purify rat annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells,and has good cell biological properties,good proliferation ability and multiple differentiation potential.

BACKGROUND:Intervertebral disk degeneration is a pathological change caused by a series of complex molecular mechanisms that result in the aging and damage of intervertebral discs,ultimately leading to severe clinical symptoms.Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of intervertebral disk degeneration due to its low cost,non-addictive nature,multi-target effects,minimally toxic and side effects,and high patient acceptance. OBJECTIVE:To review the latest research results of traditional Chinese medicine monomer intervention-related signaling pathways in the treatment of intervertebral disk degeneration,describe and analyze the action mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine monomer on intervertebral disk degeneration,and provide a new approach and theoretical basis for future basic research and clinical treatment. METHODS:The first author searched for relevant literature from January 2018 to February 2023 in CNKI,PubMed,VIP,and WanFang using the search terms"intervertebral disc,signal pathway".The articles that did not meet the criteria were excluded after preliminary screening of the titles and abstracts.Finally,72 articles were selected for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Traditional Chinese medicine monomers can regulate multiple classical signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin,PI3K/Akt,mTOR,NF-κB,and MAPK.They achieve this by regulating oxidative stress,adjusting the expression of pro/anti-apoptotic proteins in cells,stimulating cellular autophagy function,reducing stimulation of cell inflammatory factors,increasing the expression of extracellular matrix markers,reducing the production of matrix-degrading enzymes,maintaining the synthesis and stability of extracellular matrix,inducing differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in the nucleus pulposus into nucleus pulposus cells,promoting endogenous repair and reconstruction,controlling apoptosis and aging of nucleus pulposus cells,and increasing the activity of nucleus pulposus cells.These actions improve the microenvironment within the intervertebral disc,maintain the normal physiological function of the intervertebral disc,and delay intervertebral disc degeneration.
