Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture combined with human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells ( HAMCs ) transplantation on the osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats.Methods Forty-five healthy female non-pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operated group, model group and experimental group ( acupuncture+HAMC transplantation), 15 rats in each group.At 7 days after the surgical wound healing, the rats received acupuncture every day and intravenous injection of HAMCs suspension ( except the sham operated group) once a week for consecutive 12 weeks.The body weight was measured every week.24 hours after the last intervention, the rats were killed and specimens were collected.Specimens of the mid-, proximal-and distal femur were taken to measure the bone mineral density using a dual energy X-ray absorptiometer.At 12 weeks after the intervention, changes of the expression of serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25-HVD), C-terminal peptide of type I collagen (CTX-I), bone specific alkaline phosphatase ( BAP) and human tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b ( TRACP 5b) were determined by ELISA, the biomechanical properties of the removed femur was measured, and the expression of transforming growth factor-β( TGF-β) in the vertebrae was assessed by RT-PCR assay.Results Body weight of rats in the sham operation group was increased gradually in accordance with the natural growth of animals, that of the model group was significantly higher than that of the sham operated group since two months after modeling, and the body weight of the experimental group was similar to that of the sham operated group.The bone mineral density and calcium content of the model group were significantly decreased compared with that of the sham operated group ( P<0.05) , and the bone mineral density and bone calcium content of the experimental group were significantly higher than that of the model group ( P <0.05 ) .The ELISA showed that the expressions of serum 25-HVD, CTX I, BAP, and TRAP5b in the model group were significantly lower than that of the sham operated group, and those of the experimental group were significantly higher than that of the model group ( P<0.05 ) . Measurement of biomechanical properties showed that the limit load, limit stress and elastic modulus of the femur of the sham operated group were significantly higher than that of the model group ( P<0.05 ) , and the limit load and elastic modulus of the experimental group were significantly higher than that of the sham operated group ( P <0.05 ) .T-PCR showed that the expression of TGF-β1 m-RNA in the experimental group was significantly up-regulated than that of the sham operated and model groups ( P<0.05) .Conclusions Acupuncture combined with human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell ( HAMCs) transplantation has a synergistic effect on the treatment of osteoporosis, and can improve the conditions in ovariectomized rats.

ObjectiveTo analysis the clinical characteristics and the high risk factors of children with cerebral palsy.MethodsClinical data of 100 children with cerebral palsy were retrospectively analyzed.Results51% of children were born with asphyxia, 42% were born prematurely, 39% were low birth body weight. 85.7% of children involved had mental retardation, 12% had hearing loss and 7% had visual impairment. 88% of children involved had abnormal cranial CT results and 46.1% had abnormal EEG. 50.0% of the children had abnormal brain stem auditory evoked potentials.ConclusionAsphyxia, prematurely birth and low birth body weight are high risk factors of cerebral palsy. Most of the children with cerebral palsy in this group are mental retarded.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of eversion carotid endarterectomy in patients with carotid atherosclerosis stenosis. Method Summarized the clinical data of 20 patients who accepted eversiou carotid endarterectomy from March 2009 to August 2009, compared the outcomes with preoperative and postoperative image learnt materials and clinical symptoms. Results All cases finished successfully. All clinical symptoms were improved after operation. The stenosis were all improved completely on the image after operation. Conclusions Eversion carotid endarterectomy is safe, effective, and shortening operative time and hospitalization time. It has low restenosis rate, thicken endometrium and plaque can be stripped completely.

The maxillary first premolar is a transitional tooth between incisors and molars. Most maxillary first premolars have 2 root canals. However, the bilateral maxillary first premolar with 3 roots and 3 canals has not been described. This article reports a rare case:The bilateral maxillary first premolar with 3 roots and 3 canals.

Objective To explore the significant risk factors in patients with Tile C pelvic frac-tures.Methods We conducted a retrospective review of all patients with Tile C pelvic fractures in Nanjing First Hospital from January 2010 to December 2014.The data gathered on each patient in-cluded:age,sex,mechanism of injury,visiting time after injury,shock index,Injury severity scale (ISS),Revised trauma score (RTS),Glasgowcoma scale (GCS),lowest PaO2/FiO2 ,6 h lactate clearance rate,concomitant injures and interventious of Tile C pelvic fractures.The data were tested using Student’t-test,χ2 test and logistic regression method.Results The study include 139 consecutive patients.The total mortality was 29.5%.Among them,36 (25.9%)patients died within 48 hours after admission.Multivariate regression analysis showed that shock index (OR=2.591,95%CI 1.041-4.216), ISS (OR = 47.96,95%,CI 15.89-147.23 ),RTS (OR = 6.917,95% CI 1.147-13.862 ),GCS (OR =4.172,95%CI 2.962-6.268),lowest PaO2/FiO2 (OR= 117.016,95% CI 51.011-176.032),6 h lactate clearance rate (OR=2.785,95%CI 1.191-4.892),concurrent head (OR=6.302,95%CI 2.270-13.175)or chest (OR=12.233,95%CI 5.193-33.985)injures were associated with high morality of Tile C pelvic frac-ture (P <0.01).The performing digital subtraction angiography with intravascular embolization can cut the mortality (OR=0.887,95%CI 0.875-0.899).Conclusion In our study,high trauma score,serious shock, coma,PaO2/FiO2 decreased and 6 h lactate clearance rate decreased,combined with the head and chest inju-ry are the important reasons of mortality in patients with Tile C pelvic fracture.It’s vital to control shock actively,use trauma scale and emphasize multidisciplinary cooperation to reduce mortality in patients with Tile C pelvic fractures.
