Objectives To study the anatomic characteristic of medial patellar retinaculum and its function in patellar stability. Methods Anatomic dissection of the medial patellar retinaculum was performed on 26 knees of 13 embalmed cadaveric specimens,and its composition and conducted functional studies of the several parts were observed respectively. Results The medial patellar retinaculum comprises patellofemoral ligament, patellotibial ligament and patellomeniscal ligament. The medial patellofemoral ligament which is the thickest part in the medial patellar retinaculum contributes to the major restraints to the lateral patellar displacement.

Objective To observe the effect of the injection of myoblast carrying human insulin-like growth factor-1(hIGF-1) on the expression of endogenous IGF-1 mRNA and IGF-1 level in mice skeletal muscle following injury.Methods Seventy two male C3H mice(20~30g,7~11w)were randomly divided into three groups(24 mice in each group) with four mice normal controls.Applied a falling hit from certain height at the medial calf of right lower limbs in three groups,the injured skeletal muscle model was successfully simulated.Three days following injury,the mice in group A and B were injected with 1?106 myoblasts either carried with or without hIGF-1 gene respectively and the mice in group C were injected with 100?l saline at the injured muscle.Three mice in each group were sacrificed randomly at day 2,5,10,15,20,30 after contusion.The expression level of mIGF-1 was assessed by immunohistochemical staining and real time PCR.Results mIGF-1 mRNA expression and mIGF-1 factor secretion were observed in all three groups;the amount of mIGF-1 mRNA expression and mIGF-1 secretion in group A were significant higher than that in group B and C.Conclusion Myoblast carrying hIGF-1 transplantation could promote endogenous IGF-1 secretion in injured skeletal muscle.

Objective To observe the survival of myoblasts carrying hIGF-1 gene transplanted into the mice, and the expression of hIGF-1 in the transplanted mice. Methods Eighty four male C3H mice(20～30g,7～11w)were divided into four groups: group A, B, C and D (20 mice each group), and the remaining four mice were used as normal control. At the middle of the right gastrocnemius muscle, the mice in group A and B were injected with 1?10~6 myoblasts either carried with or without hIGF-1 gene. Muscle contusion at the middle of the right gastrocnemius muscle of the mice in group C and D was produced. At day 3 following injury, they were injected with 1?10~6 myoblasts either carried with hIGF-1 gene (group C) or without hIGF-1 gene (group D). At the day 2, 5, 10, 20, 30 after injection, four mice of each group were sacrificed randomly. BrdU staining in all mice were performed to evaluate cells surviving, and the expression level of hIGF-1 in group A and C was assessed by immunohistochemical staining and real-time-PCR. Results The BrdU staining in both normal and injured mice transplanted with myoblast carried with or without hIGF-1 were positive. hIGF-1 was expressed and secreted in both group A and C. Conclusion The myoblast carrying hIGF-1 gene transplanted into normal or injured mice can survive for a certain period of time, and can secrete hIGF-1.

Objective To observe the effect of different interventions on muscle healing following contusion by electromyographical signal, and functionally to study the significance of electromyographical technique in evaluating the healing quality of skeletal muscle after injuries. Methods A standard contusion model was developed at the right gastrocnemius by specific device in 108 male rats. The animals were divided into three groups:group IGF-1,local injection by exogenous IGF-1 at injured site; group Chinese medicine treated with the injection of Huangqidanshen, and group natural healing for control. EMG signals of gastrocnemius, such as fibrillation potentials, positive sharp waves as well as the latency and wave-amplitude of compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) were probed, recorded and compared at day 2、5、7、10、14、21、28、35 and 56 after injury respectively. Results (1) Fibrillation potentials and positive sharp waves were discovered at day 2 to 5 after contusion, and reached its peak by day 7 to 10, and then normalized gradually around the 35th day with muscle healing in group natural healing. Above abnormal signals disappeared much more early in group IGF-1, then that in group Chinese medicine. (2) The latency and wave-amplitude of CMAP shown a gradual recovery process with muscle healing. The recovery tendency was most rapid in group IGF-1, slower in group Chinese medicine, and latest in group natural healing. (3) The wave-amplitude of CMAP approached to normal in group IGF-1 by 8 weeks following contusion, a little bit later in group Chinese medicine groups, and lastly in group natural healing. Conclusions(1) Electromyographical study verified that IGF-1 and Huangqidanshen could improve healing and functional recovery following muscle injury. IGF-1 was a much more strong intervention for healing promotion. (2) EMG is an useful tool in evaluating the healing process and healing quality of skeletal muscle.

Objective:To assess the prognostic factors of World Health Organization(WHO)grade Ⅱ gliomas.Methods:A total of 146 patients diagnosed with WHO grade Ⅱ gliomas were treated at Jiangxi Province Tumor Hospital between June 1997 and April 2015,in-cluding 90 gross total resections(GTRs)and 56 partial resections.According to the 2007 WHO grading system of gliomas,there were 96 astrocytomas,30 oligodendrogliomas,and 20 oligoastrocytomas.Results:The median follow-up time was 88 months.Five-year overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)rates were 75.7% and 60.0%,respectively,and 10-year OS and PFS rates were 57.4% and 37.8%,respectively.Univariate analysis of OS revealed statistically significant differences in age,sex,subventricular zone (SVZ) invasion, peritumoral edema, residual tumor volume, preoperative tumor size and numbers, and the extent of resection (P<0.05). Compared with astrocytoma patients, oligodendroglioma patients had better OS and PFS (P=0.040 and 0.049, respectively). Among those factors,sex,SVZ invasion,residual tumor volume,preoperative tumor numbers,and the extent of resection were like-wise significant for PFS (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that the extent of resection, SVZ invasion, and peritumoral edema were independent prognostic factors for OS(P<0.05)and the extent of resection and tumor numbers were independent prognostic fac-tors for PFS(P<0.05).Sixty patients developed recurrences,including 53 tumor bed failures and 7 intracranial disseminations.Conclu-sions:The extent of resection,SVZ invasion and peritumoral edema may be independent prognostic factors for OS in low-grade glio-mas.Postoperative radiotherapy would improve PFS for patients who underwent GTRs.The major pattern of failure was tumor bed re-currence.

This work was supported by Science and Technology Program of Health and Family Planning Commission of Jiangxi Province (No.20161106) Abstract Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of subventricular zone (SVZ) invasion in glioma patients. Methods: The clini-cal data of 175 patients with glioma diagnosed based on pathology in Jiangxi Province Cancer hospital between January 2010 and July 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 59 cases of World Health Organization (WHO) gradeⅡ, 59 cases of WHO gradeⅢ, and 57 cases of WHO gradeⅣat the first diagnosis. There were 75 cases of SVZ invasion (SVZ+) and 100 cases of SVZ non-invasion (SVZ-) according to preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. The survival outcomes of both cohorts were compared using the Log-rank test. The correlation between the recurrence pattern and SVZ involvement was analyzed using Chi-square tests. Results: The me-dian follow-up time was 63 months. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 42.2% and 37.5%, respectively. These were 20.9% and 15.3% in the SVZ+group, compared with 57.1% and 44.1% in the SVZ-group, respectively (P<0.001 and P<0.001, respectively). The SVZ+group had fewer cases of total resection, larger lesions (maximum diameter greater than 5.0 cm), and more cases of gradeⅣ(P<0.001, P<0.001, and P=0.018, respectively). There were 89 cases of recurrence. The total recur-rence rate was 62.7% in the SVZ+group, compared with 42.0% in the SVZ-group (P=0.007); the distant recurrence rates were 21.3% and 7.0% (P=0.004), respectively. Conclusions: SVZ invasion is a poor prognostic factor for OS and PFS in gliomas, which is positively correlated with a low total resection rate, large lesions, and gradeⅣlesions, and increases the probability of total recurrence and dis-tant recurrence.
