BACKGROUND: The effect of the treatment of long tubular bone defect by free vascularized fibular graft, especially when combined with monitoring island skin flap is definitely reliable. However, there is still the possibility of broken fibular graft with single fibular graft for repairing the long loading tubular bone.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect on the treatment of long femoral bone defect by combinatorial fibular graft with monitoring island skin flap.DESIGN: Before and after self-controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedic Spine Surgery, Guangzhou People's HospitalPARTICIPANTS: Totally 14 patients who wer treated for long femoral bone defect in the Department of Orthopaedic Spine Surgery were recruited between July 1995 and November 2003. Locus: distal part of the femur,5cases; middle part of the femur, 9cases.The length of bone defect was 6 to 28 cm.INTERVENTIONS: There were 7 cases of free vascularized bi-fibular graft transplantation with monitoring island skin flap. There were 7 cases of free vascularized fibular graft centralized with large segmental allograft.Monitoring island skin flap was 3 cm×5 cm, sectioned fibular was 16 to 32cm. Dry frozen bone of allograft was 12 to 28 cm. The wound and island skin were detected postoperatively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The living condition of bi-fibular graft or binding composite allograft with skin flap, morphology change of transplanted bone and loaded walking ability in patients with bone defect after operation.RESULTS: Totally 14 patients entered the result analysis. Seven cases in bi- fibular group were followed up for 3 years and 7 patients in the centralized graft group were followed up for 1 year. Fourteen cases detected by monitoring island skin flap all survived. One case in the centralized graft group presented yellow exudates 3 months after operation, and then the graft bone was taken out. Follow-up of the rest 6 patients showed that transplanted fibular bone was closely connected with allograft. The thickness of the transplanted bone was increased, shaped and similar with the diameter of the femur at the receptor. Patients in the two groups could walk with loading without walking stick. Transplanted bone has no fracture.CONCLUSION: Transplantation of free vascularized bi-fibular graft transplant or free vascularized fibular graft monitoring island skin flap binding to large segmental allograft can increase its structural strength through hypertrophy, decrease or avoid fracture of the transplanted graft fibula.

The preliminary metabolic profile of total diterpene acid (TDA) isolated from Pseudolarix kaempferi was investigated by using in vivo and in vitro tests. Pseudolaric acid C2 (PC2) was identified as the predominant metabolite in plasma, urine, bile and feces after both oral and intravenous administrations to rats using HPLC-UV and HPLC-ESI/MS(n), and demethoxydeacetoxypseudolaric acid B (DDPB), a metabolite proposed to be the glucoside of PC2 (PC2G), as well as pseudolaric acid C (PC), pseudolaric acid A (PA), pseudolaric acid A O-beta-D glucopyranoside (PAG), pseudolaric acid B O-beta-D glucopyranoside (PBG) and deacetylpseudolaric acid A (DPA) originated from TDA could also be detected. It was demonstrated by tests that the metabolism of TDA is independent of intestinal microflora, and neither of pepsin and trypsin is in charge of metabolism of TDA, TDA is also stable in both pH environments of gastric tract and intestinal tract. The metabolites of TDA in whole blood in vitro incubation were found to be PC2, DDPB and PC2G, which demonstrated that the metabolic reaction of TDA in vivo is mainly occurred in blood and contributed to be the hydrolysis of plasma esterase to ester bond, as well as the glucosylation reaction. These results clarified the metabolic pathway of TDA for the first time, which is of great significance to the in vivo active form and acting mechanism research of P. kaempferi.

The metabolic profile of pseudolaric acid B (PB) was investigated by using in vivo and in vitro tests. Pseudolaric acid C2 (PC2) was identified as the specific metabolite of PB in plasma, urine, bile and feces using HPLC and HPLC-ESI/MS(n) after both oral and intravenous administration to rats, and almost no prototype was detected in all kinds of samples. The metabolic behaviors of PB orally administered in rats treated with antibiotics to eliminate intestinal microflora were identical with those in untreated rats, demonstrating that the metabolism of PB is independent of intestinal microflora. PB was stable in 48 h respective incubation with artificial gastric juice and artificial intestinal juice, suggesting that neither pepsin nor trypsin is in charge of metabolism of PB, and also demonstrating that PB is stable in both pH environments of gastric tract and intestinal tract. In vitro research on metabolism of PB in rat liver microsomes incubation revealed that little PB was metabolized and that the proposed metabolites were the demethoxy and demethoxydecarboxy products of the prototype. The amount of metabolites was extremely low compared with the prototype, indicating that liver microsomes are not responsible for the metabolism of PB either. PB was gradually metabolized into PC2 during 1 h in whole blood incubation in vitro, and the metabolic process showed dynamically dependent manner with incubation time. Once absorbed into blood, PB was quickly metabolized into PC2, accordingly, little prototype was detected in all kinds of samples. The metabolism was attributed to the rapid hydrolysis of C-19 ester bond by plasma esterase. These results clarified the metabolic pathway of PB for the first time, which was of great significance to identify the in vivo active form and interpret acting mechanism of the active compounds of P. kaempferi.

Objective To explore the effect of Taichi exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) of postmenopausal women. Methods 105 postmenopausal women were divided into Taichi group (n=54) and control group (n=51). BMD was detected with dual energy X ray absorptiometry (DXA) in both groups. Results The BMD of L1, L2 and shaft of femur were higher in Taichi group than in control group (P<0.05). The BMD of L4, left neck of femur and left wards triangle were significantly higher in the Taichi group than in the control group (P<0.01).The prevalence of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) was lower in the Taichi group (31.48%) than in the control group (39.22%), but there was no significant difference. The BMD of L1, L2 and shaft of femur, left wards triangle and shaft of femur were higher in postmenopausal women excising Taichi more than 5 years (P<0.05). Conclusion Long-term of Taichi exercise may increase the BMD of the postmenopausal women effectively and prevent the development of PMOP.
