Objective To compare the efficacy of fixed bearing(FB) and rotating bearing(RB) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for knee valgus. Methods Data of 203 cases with valgus knee deformity who had undergone TKA procedure from January 2007 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. 181 cases were primary joint replacement. They were divided into FB group and RB group. 168 patients (168 knees) were followed?up for more than 2 years. 83 cases (83 knees) were in FB group, and 85 cases (85knees) were in RB group. There were 57 males and 111 females, aged from 40 to 79 years, with an average age of 59.3 ± 7.2 years. Among them, 153 cases were osteoarthritis and 15 cases were rheumatoid arthritis. Activities of the knee , tibio?femoral angle on X?ray, Hospital for Special Surgery (Hospital for Special Surgery, HSS) knee score and the SF?36 scale scores were recorded before surgery and at the final follow?up. Results All patients were followed up for 24 to 84 months (average, 37.4 months). The average knee activities of the fixed bearing and rotating mobile bearing were from 72.8°±13.1°and 71.2°±12.8° be?fore surgery to 106.5°±9.8°and 115.4°±7.9° at final follow?up. The average tibiofemoral angle on X?ray decreased from 16.8°±5.3° and 15.2° ± 4.7° preoperatively to 5.6° ± 2.3 and 5.2° ± 2.1° at the final follow?up. The HSS knee score improved from 47.5 ± 7.1 points and 49.6±8.9 points to 89.1±4.6 points and 90.2±5.3 points at final follow?up. The SF?36 scale scores improved from 52.3± 15.4 points and 50.1±17.9 points to 81.6±12.3 points and 82.2±14.5 points at the final follow?up. At the latest follow?up, except the Range of motion, there were no statistically significant in any other indicator between two groups. Two cases appeared postoper?ative deep venous thrombosis symptoms. One case had joint stiffness early, and the symptoms improved after strengthen functional exercise. No infections, delayed knee instability, implant loosening or subsidence was found during the follow?up. Conclusion For patients with mild to moderate knee valgus, both fixed and rotating bearing with same soft tissue balance technique can improve the knee function and correct the valgus deformity, and the recent results are satisfactory.

With the support of World Bank ( WB ) and UK Department for International Development ( DFID) , China Rural Health Project ( hereinafter referred asHealth XI Project) has successfully covered 40 coun-ties in 8 provinces. With the establishment of community diagnosis and health records as the entry point, hyperten-sion, diabetes and other major chronic diseases as the starting point, and focus on the needs of healthy people, high-risk groups and patients, the project mainly adopts health education and promotion, health management, disease management and other measures to explore the establishment of a new model of rural chronic disease management. By analyzing the monitoring data of chronic diseases in the project zones, this study found that the number of registered and managed patients with hypertension and diabetes increased significantly, from 397,113 and 136,326 in 2009 to 1,500,252 and 388,846 in 2013, respectively. The management rate also increased from 60. 8% and 32. 2% in 2009 to 92. 2% and 88. 8% in 2013, respectively. The results of the 5th National Health Service Survey show that, the control rates for self-reported hypertension and diabetes ((53. 8% and 50. 2%, respectively) in the project zones were significantly higher than the national average in rural areas ( 54 . 9% and 38 . 3%, respectively ) . This paper suggests that, with focus on training, health education, health promotion, health management and disease manage-ment as the core mainline, the chronic disease management model has effectively improved the chronic disease service capabilities in rural areas,. The comprehensive and integrated chronic disease interventions implemented by the pro-ject in the rural areas is practical, and it has value of popularization and application.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of xCT on tumor metastasis in breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231. Methods Wound scratch assay and Transwell assay were performed to evaluate the effect of disruption and knockdown of xCT on cell migration and cell invasion in breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 .Western Blot and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression levels of autophagy and EMT related markers in breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 after treatment with sulfasalazine (SASP), an inhibitor of xCT activity and SLC7A11-RNAi.Results Both the scratch assay and the transwell migration assay showed that inhibition of xCT reduced the motility of MDA-MB-231 .The expression level of autophagy related protein LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰwas elevated, the protein level of transcription factor Snail was down-regulated, while the mRNA level of Snail did not change in xCT inhibited MDA-MB-231 cells compared with MDA-MB-231 cells.Epithelial marker E-cadherin was up-regulated but mesenchymal marker Vimentin was down-regulated when xCT was deficient.Con-clusion Our current studies show that xCT is an endogenous regulator of tumor growth and metastasis in MDA -MB-231 and the expression level of xCT determines the phenotypes of MDA-MB-231 cells in invasion and migration in vitro.Inhibition of xCT can activate autophagy , induce the degradation of Snail ,and attenuate the EMT process in highly metastatic MDA-MB-231 cells.

BACKGROUND: Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) proliferation and transmigration and platelet activation cause thrombogenesis and lead to grafted vessel restenosis. Nitric oxide (NO) can inhibit the above-mentioned biological responses, but whether endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene transfection can inhibit the neointimal hyperplasia in graft seeded with SMCs remains uncertain.OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to further investigate the effect of eNOS gene transfection on neointimal hyperplasia in the grafts seeded with SMCs.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: This study, a repeated observation and measurement experiment, was performed at the Central Laboratory and Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Xi'an Jiaotong University Medical College from April 2006 to May 2007.MATERIALS: One 1-month-old New Zealand rabbit was used to acquire SMCs. Another 18 adult New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=6).In normal control group,the vessel graft with no SMCs were transplanted; In SMC/lacZ group, the vessel grafts with SMCs transfected with lacZ were transplanted;In SMC/eNOS group,the vessel grafts with SMCs seeded with eNOS were transplanted.METHODS: Rabbit SMCs were transduced with pseudotyped retroviral vectors, Murine leukemia virus/vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein, carrying genes coding for eNOS or lacZ gene. The SMCs then were seeded on the vessel grafts and implanted into the rabbit abdominal aorta using vessel bypass transplantation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Nitric oxide (NO) content in the supernatant of cells transfected with eNOS and lacZ gene was detected by citrulline method. The grafts were stained with X-gal to visualize the seeded cells: the seeded SMCs were stained blue,while eNOS were stained red. The thickness of the neointima on a graft was measured with a microscope.RESULTS: Eighteen rabbits were all included in the final analysis. NO content in the SMC/eNOS group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group (P<0.05). The SMCs transfected with lacZ gene showed blue after X-gal staining under the inverted microscope. Thirty days after implantation, there was no difference in neointimal thickness between normal grafts and grafts seeded with eNOS or lacZ transduced SMCs (P>0.05).100 days after implantation,the neointimal thickness on grafts seeded with eNOS transduced SMCs was similar to that of unseeded grafts (P>0.05 ), but was significantly thinner than that on grafts seeded with SMCs transduced with only lacZ gene (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: eNOS gene transfection inhibits nenintimal hyperplasia in the vessel graft seeded with SMCs.

Objective To obtain the change of bcl-2/bax/fas/fasL in splenic lymphoctyes with different lasting time of hypoxicischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods The newborn rat were divided into 6 groups by the time of being HIBD model randomly, includes 1/6/12/24/48/72 hour(s) (8 for every group),and control groups were established at the same time point. The following four apoptosis related genes bcl-2/bax/fas/fasL were tested by real time PCR. Results ( 1 ) bcl-2: the mRNA expressions of HIBD groups were lower than control groups at the same time ( P<0.01 ). Eliminated the control effects, the mRNA expressions of HIBD groups were differernt by the modeling time(P <0.01 ). (2)bax: the mRNA expressions of HIBD groups were higher than control groups at the same time( P <0.01 ), and in control group the expression of 6 h was much higher than any other groups (P<0.01 ). Eliminated the control effects, the mRNA expressions of H IBD groups were different by the modeling time( P<0.01 ). (3)bcl-2/bax: the ratios of HIBD groups were lower than control groups at the same time( P <0.05 ), the ratios in control groups were higher than 1 ( except for 1 h); while in HIBI) groups the ratios were lower than 1; Eliminated the control effects, the ratios were different in all the groups. (4)fas: the mRNA expressions of HIBD groups were higher than control groups at the same time ( P <0.01 ), and both were maximum at 6 h. (5)fasL: the mRNA expressions of HIBD groups were higher than control groups in 1 h and 6 h ( P<0.01 ), while lower than control group at other time points( P<0.01 ),the expression of 24 h was the maximum of control groups and 12 h was the maximum of HIBD groups. (6)fas/fasL: the ratios of HIBD groups were higher than control groups( P <0.01 ) (except for 6 h), and the ratios in control groups were lower than 1 ( P<0.01 ) ( except for 6 h), and not concentrated, while in HIBD groups were higher than 1 ( except for 24 h), between 0.69 to 5.65. Conclusion Pro-apoptosis genes ( include bax/fas/fasL) were promoted by HIBD, while anti-apoptosis gene(bcl-2) was inhibited. The maximum of pro-apoptosis genes became early in HIBD. Both the pro- and anti-apoptosis genes got their maximum at 6 h and 12 h of HIBD. The apoptosis suppression was the main effects in control groups from the ratio of bcl-2/bax, which was lower than 1. The apoptosis promotion was the main effects in HIBD groups from the ratio of bcl-2/bax, which was higher than 1, especially at 12 h. Thefas/fasL effect which is the major way of lymphocytes apoptosis was strengthened in HIBD.
