Basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) is one of the most important factors for wounds healing.BFGF promotes healing of bone fracture by regulating cell proliferation and differentiation of bone tissues,increasing local bone density,and accelerating local angiogenesis.With the progression of bFGF research,more and more attention will be paid to bone repair function of bFGF in bone tissue engineering.

Nickel titanium shape memory alloys(NiTi-SMA) are thought to be the promising biomaterials of biological osteosynthesis(BO) with regard to biomedical applications. However, a critical concern is the release of harmful Ni ions from the implants into the living tissues. And little is known about the influences of surface modifications on the biocompatibility of these alloys. The emphasis was focused on the recent developments, the related questions, surface treatments, future directionsin.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play a pivotal role in the formation,induction and repair of the bone; BMPs have been confirmed to induce bone formation.Transforming growth factor-beta,insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ and basic fibroblast growth factor also contribute to bone formation; combination of the factors with BMPs can promote the healing of fracture and non-union,which may have a bright future in orthopedics.

0.05).CONCLUSION:Application of DHS,GN and PFN in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly exhibits no significant difference in efficacy.Gamma nail and PFN can shorten the operation time to reduce the amount of blood loss and postoperative complications.For the stable fracture,all three fixtures can be used,and the DHS is the cheaper;for instable fracture,PFN and GN due to the biomechanical advantages are good choices.

Objective: To analyze the design of Nitinol Patellar Concentrator (NT-PC) and its biomechanic characteristics for treating comminuted patellar fractures.Methods:NT-PC and patellar was analyzed by ANSYS software,the finite element was three dimension brick unit with 20 nodes, 8 faces, and the degree of freedom was 6.In NT-PC,10 483 units were divided and the number of nodes was 17 959;In Patellar,8 775 units were divided and the number of nodes was 15 847.The patellar model was loaded according to the 5 converging directions of NT-PC.Results:NT-PC had tension force on its internal face and pressure force in its external face.The maximum value was 195.8 MPa and -18 MPa,which was far from its utmost stress and fatigue limit.The memory converging force of NT-PC was 134 N.The stress (0.8 MPa) was evenly distributed on the patellar surface.Stress calculation of every node indicated that positive stress was the main stress.Conclusion: The design of NT-PC is reasonable and has good reusing character.After fixation, exercise is allowed immediately after operation.The continual positive stress is good for the stability of fracture end and fracture healing.

Objective To observe effects of meshed relaxing short incisions (MRSI) on the content of endothelin (ET) in rat tension skin flap,and to investigate the mechanism of meshed relaxing short incisions(MRSI) on wound healing process of tension skin flap.Method We designed an experimental model to investigate the change of ET content caused by MRSI and observe the distribution of ET in rat skin flap tissue each period of wound healing.In the meantime,the immunohistochemistry and auto image analysis were employed.Results Our results showed:(1) ET positive immunologic reaction granules involved in small vascular endothelial cell in rat skin flap tissue increased with prolonging of time within 3 days;(2) the content of ET in MRSI group were significant lower than that of hypertension group (P< 0.05) .Conclusion The decrease of ET contents may be one of the causes that MRSI improves microcirculation of skin flap, and reduces edema and facilitates healing of skin flap.

Objective To study on the CDKN2/P16 gene in primary osteosarcoma.Method By using molecular biological methods that inclued genome DNA extraction from paraffined tissue and PCR SSCP analysis technique, we studied alternations of CDKN2/P16 gene in 25 primary osteosarcomas.Results (1)The deletions frequency in differentiation degree of osteosarcomas was① bone brood cell, 16.7% ;② cartilage brood cell,12.5% ;③ Fiber brood cell:20% ,(P >0.05).(2)The deletion frequency in male patients was 17.6% , female patients 12.5% ,(P >0.05).(3)In early metastatic osteosarcomas the deletion rate was 33.3% ,which was significantly higher than that of the control group with the rate of 10.5% (P< 0.05).(4)The deletion rate was 16% and the mutations were not found.Conclusion (1)The deletion rate was 16% and the mutations were not found.This suggests that the deletions of CDKN2/P16 gene were closely related to the genesis of primary osteosarcoma and that the main type of the alternation of CDKN2/P16 gene was deletion.(2)In early metastatic osteosaarcomas the deletion rate was 33.3% , which was significantly higher than that of the control group with the rate of 10.5% .This indicates to great extend that the deletions of CDKN2/P16 gene were closely related to the metastatic ability.(3)The deletions frequency had no significant relationship with differentiation degree of osteosarcomas, so was with the sex of the patient.

Osteoporosis is a common disease in the elderly. As studies on its causation and pathogenic mechanism deepened in recent years,there appeared many anti-osteoporotics and many of them had been widely used in clinic. However,none of them was found to be able to completely replace other drugs to achieve satisfactory effect in clinical applications. They all have certain defects. In this paper,three types of drugs including bone resorption inhibitors,bone mineralizers and bone formation accelerators,were analyzed in terms of their mechanisms of action,advances in clinical application as well as their side effects,so as to guide the clinical choice and combination of drugs targeted to avoid serious side effects and to seek for the direction of further study.

Methods:The study was performed by electrometric, two and three dimensional (3D) photoelasticity techniques. By gauging and multiple time standardization, load strain curve was got, then the dynamic memory force of SMC was calculated. The dynamically compressive force of swan neck compressive part was calculated by 2D photoelasticity. By precision moulding, the epoxy resin 3D photoelasticity humeral model was established, then it was fixated by SMC, meanwhile, an epoxy resin cirque was used to share the continuously memorial compress. The 3D stress distribution of humeral model was got, and 6 space component stress of the inspected node was divided by Leize polarizing microscope. Results:The continuously memory force of SMC was 110.35 N. The longitudinal dynamical compressive memory force was 163.88 N. 3D photoelasticity method showed that the swan neck compressive part of SMC, swan body connecting part of SMC and swan wing holding part of SMC were in consistent with each other, memorably holding bone, 3D fixation style was formed, and overall stress distribution was produced.. Conclusion:The stress field produced by 3D memory fixation of SMC is good for the treatment of fractures and nonunions. Early function exercises are allowed, and the fracture healing is prompted.
