Surface molecularly imprinted polymers (SMIPs) for selective adsorption of ampicillin sodium were synthesized using surface molecular imprinting technique with silica gel as a support. The physical and morphological characteristics of the polymers were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis and nitrogen adsorption–desorption test. The obtained results showed that the SMIPs displayed great adsorption capacity (13.5μg/mg), high recognition ability (the imprinted factor is 3.2) and good binding kinetics for ampicillin sodium. Finally, as solid phase extraction adsorbents, the SMIPs coupled with HPLC method were validated and applied for the enrichment, purification and determination of ampicillin sodium in real milk and blood samples. The averages of spiked accuracy ranged from 92.1%to 107.6%. The relative standard deviations of intra-and inter-day precisions were less than 4.6%. This study provides a new and promising method for enriching, extracting and determining ampicillin sodium in complex biological samples.

Objective To study the diagnostic utility of hemoglobin electrophoresis in neonatal cord blood screening for thalassemia. Methods Between January 2012 and December 2013, 14032 core blood samples which were from different 21 Women and Children Hospitals in Guangdong were performed for the neonatal screening with hemoglobin electrophoresis. The positive samples of hemoglobin electrophoresis were recalled for genetic testing. Results Out of 1445 (11.07%) positive samples of hemoglobin electrophoresis , 1075 (54.08%) cases were suspected for α-thalassemia, 478 (3.41%) cases were suspected for β-thalassemia, 127 (0.91%) cases were suspected for abnormal hemoglobin. With the genetic testing, 967 cases were diagnosed as α-thalassemia, 404 cases were diagnosed asβ-thalassemia. The coincidence rate ofα-thalassemia andβ-thalassemia were 89.95%and 82.96%, respectively. Besides, 124 cases were diagnosed as abnormal hemoglobin, including 38 cases of Hb E, 28 cases of Hb Q, 21 cases of Hb D, 19 cases of Hb New York, 13 cases of Hb J, and 5 cases of Hb J. Conclusion Hemoglobin electrophoresis was definitely helpful in the neonatal cord blood screening for thalassemia and abnormal hemoglobin.

BACKGROUND: Vascular injuries of the extremitiesy are frequently concomitant with vascular defects and are usually repaired by autologous vessel grafting. However, the source of autologous vessels is limited and the preparation of them is traumatic.OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively evaluate the extremity-preserving efficacy of vascular prosthesis grafting in repairing major vascular injuries of the extremities in 29 cases.DESIGN: A retrospective study.SETTING: Department of Orthopedics and Traumatic Surgery, Center for Battle Wound and Trauma of Chinese PLA, Research Institute of Surgery,Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: We selected 29 patients with major vascular injuries of the extremities repaired by vascular prosthesis grafting who received the treatment at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatic Surgery of the Center for Battle Wound and Trauma of the Chinese PLA of the Research Institute of Surgery of, Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between January 1989 and December 2000. There were 23 males and 6 females. Injury sites: 9 cases were at subclavian artery, 6 at axillary artery, 2 at brachial artery, 10 at femoral artery, 1 at femoral vein and 1 at popliteal artery. 11 of these 29 cases (37.9%) were complicated with shock, 8 with fractures and dislocations, 5 with peripheral nerve injuries and 3 with infections.METHODS: The vascular prosthesis was anastomosed end to end with the trimmed culprit vessels. As for the 3 cases with infective arterial injuries,the vessels were placed away from the infected region and were bridged together in a non-inf1ammatory region and then muscles or musculo-cutaneous flaps were used to cover the infected regions.The functions of the extremities of the patients were evaluated according to MAS at week 2 and 1 year after the operation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The vascular patency rate and the extremity-preserving outcomes..RESULTS: All 29 patients entered the stage of result analysis. Extremitypreserving efficacy: All the patients who underwent vascular prosthesis grafting had their extremities preserved. Only 1 patient had the late sequelae of ulcers in the foot sole due to extended extremity ischemia and nerve damage. The rate of 2-week patency rate of the grafted vessels was 100% and the 1-year rate of patency was 96.5%, as revealed by Doppler blood stream scanning. The excellent and good rate of the function of extremity was 89%.CONCLUSION: Vascular prosthesis grafting is the one of the methods for repairing the major vascular injuries so as to preserve the extremities and their functions.

Objective To explore the repair mechanism of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs)-neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) gene engineering cell on neuron myeline and axon of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE).Methods OECs-NT-3 gene engineering cell, constructed by ueurotrophin-3 transinfecting OECs inducted by retrovirus, was transplanted into lateral ventricle.The migration and distribution were observed and compared with control group and OECs transplantation group.Then myeline repair and axon regeneration were evaluated in the aspects of function score, morphological structure, SYN grey level Results (1) OECs-NT-3 could survive, diffuse, migrate with axons, spread in the focus diffusely on the 28th day after transplantation.(2) OECs-NT-3 survived and migrated to the transcription level of NT-3 mRNA in transgene group, being (212.3±16.1)×10-2, significantly higher than OECs group ((1.98±0.19)×10-2) and the contrast group ((1.23±0.13)×10-2, t = - 31.161, -31.928, P < 0.01).(3) The myeline of transgene group was kept complete and the number of inflamatory focus was lower than those of other groups (t = 11.388-22.728, P <0.01).(4) The SYN grey level of transgene group was obviously higher (P < 0.01).Conclusion OECs-NT-3 cell expresses NT-3 in EAE stably and effectively, which contributes to the repair of myeline and the regeneration of axon.

Objective To discuss the causes of failure of transpedicular screw fixation in treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. Methods A retrospective analysis was done to analyze the failure causes of 24 patients (15 males and 9 females) who received pedicle screw fixation for their thoracolumbar fractures from June 2002 to June 2008 in our department. There were two patients with delayed infection, eight with pedicle screw breakage, one with connecting rod breakage, 10 with internal fixation loosening (including nut loosening) and three with poor screw position. Results All patients received reo-perations including removal of internal fixation plus debridement and lavage in two patients, simple removal of internal fixation in nine patients, removal of inter fixation and posterior fusion in two, replacement of the lengthened fixation plus posterior fusion in nine, and adjustment of the position and orientation of screw in two. All patients were followed up for 6-18 months (average 11 months) , which showed no any complications. Conclusion Improper surgical indication or approach, ineffective fusion, incorrect postoperative rehabilitation exercise, too late removal of the screws and improper surgical operation are main causes for failure of internal fixation.

Objective To compare the relationship between the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) reagent and West‐ern blot(WB) confirmation reagent for analyzing the quality lever of human T‐cell lymphotropic virus(HTLV) detection reagent . Methods The WB confirmation reagent was used to detect anti‐HTLV antibody in 156 human serum samples of ELISA prelimina‐ry screening positive .The ELISA cut‐off value(optimal value) was selected by using the two‐graph receiver operating characteristics (TG‐ROC) analytical method .The two‐by‐two table analysis was constructed to analyze the consistency of results detected by the two methods ,moreover the McNemar test was used to evaluate the consistency of detection results .The quality level of HTLV de‐tection reagent was comprehensively evaluated .Results Among 156 serum samples of ELISA preliminary screening positive ,only 40 samples were positive by the WB confirmation ,and other 116 samples were negative .The sensitivity and specificity of ELISA de‐tection reagent obtained by TG‐ROC analysis were 97 .5% and 45 .7% respectively ,the TG‐ROC test also indicated that the detec‐tion results had significant difference between ELISA and WB(P<0 .05) .By adjusting the cut‐off value ,the sensitivity and specific‐ity of ELISA were increased to 88 .8% (parametric method) .In the comparison of the parametric method and the non‐parametric method ,the obtained areas under the curve(AUC) was 0 .923 5(parametric method) ,their results were basically consistent .Conclu‐sion Although above results indicate that the detection results of ELISA reagent are different from those of WB ,but adjusting the cut off value can increase its sensitivity and specificity ,thus increases the reliability of diagnosis result .

OBJECTIVE:To provide a reference for rational clinical application of Reduning injection. METHODS:The rele-vant information about the patients who sought treatment in our hospital in 2014 and used reduning injection were collected to make statistical analysis to the age,dosage,course of treatment,frequencies,etc. RESULTS:Among the above-mentioned patients,the number of males was more than that of females,children under 10 years old accounted for 36.10%,47.54%of patients received re-duning injection for a treatment course of over five days,and 14.99% of patients failed to wash the infusion tube before injection. CONCLUSIONS:Irrational clinical application of reduning injection exists. The administration and dosage should be standardized and the dosage for children under three years old as specified in the label be detailed to reduce and avoid the occurrence of adverse drug reaction so as to ensure the safety of drug use by patients.

Objective:We designed and applied a novel, bionic megaprosthesis for distal femur, which substituted the hinged articulation with an artificial ligament and a constrained tibial insert in order to maintain articular stability and reduce stress and the risks of wearing, loosening and breakage.Methods:We reviewed the cases of distal femoral osteosarcoma in children population who were initially treated in our center during 2019. Twelve cases of bionic distal femoral prosthesis (bionic group) and 21 cases of fixed-hinge distal femoral prosthesis (control group) were included. In the bionic group, there were six female and six male with the mean age as 8.8±2.6 y. One patient had pathological fracture. Staging according to Enneking system included 1 case of stage IIA, 10 cases of stage IIB and 1 case of stage III. In the control group, there were seven female and fourteen male with the mean age as 8.6±2.2 y. Pathological fracture was seen in three cases. Staging included 15 cases of stage IIB and 6 cases of stage III.We investigated the peri-operative safety, oncological outcome, complication profiles and post-operative functional status of the bionic prosthesis by comparing the baseline data, operative data, and oncological and prosthetic outcomes between the two groups.Results:The two groups were comparable in terms of baseline data including gender, age, height, weight and onset duration, and operative data including duration of operation (126.7±27.9 min vs 143.3±38.9 min, P=0.203), intra-operative hemorrhage (162.5±212.3 ml vs 247.6±175.6 ml, P=0.224) and duration of wound drainage (6.3±2.4 d vs 6.4±3.4 d, P=0.908). The mean follow-up duration of bionic group was 16.0±4.7 months, during which time three patients had systemic progression and one of them died of disease. Another patient had local recurrence and subluxation of the prosthesis that was treated by amputation. Subluxation might be related to the huge tumor mass and excessive resection of the quadriceps femoris. As for the control group, the mean follow-up duration was 12.7±4.5 months. Three patients had systemic progression and all patients were still alive by last follow-up. Local recurrence was seen in two patients and was treated by excision. No prosthetic complications were seen in the control group. The averaged range of motion (ROM) was greater in the bionic group than that in the control group (120.6°±13.6° vs 92.0°±7.7°, P<0.05), but the MSTS 93 scores were similar between groups (29.1±0.9 vs 29.5±0.6, P=0.337). Conclusion:Compared with the fixed-hinge distal femoral prosthesis, the bionic prosthesis had good peri-operative safety, did not increase the risks of prosthetic complications, and could achieve a better range of motion and a similar functional status based on the results of short-term follow-up.

Either injury or reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) may damage proprioceptive sense, remodel central ner-vous system and impair motor control. It is necessary to systematically remodel neuromuscular function, including proprioceptive sense cor-rection, central nervous system remodeling and motor control strengthening etc., for patients after ACL reconstruction.

Objective To identify the electrophysiological charateristics and cause of ridge gap related reentry after MI ablation in atrial ifbrillation patients. Methods Activation and entrainment mapping was performed in 82 redo cases for OAT recurrence in whom MI was ablated during the index produre. Once ridge gap related reentry was conifrmed, detailed mapping was performed in MI and ridge region. In addition, in 36 cases undergoing MI ablation and fulfilling criterion for bidirectional block, differential pacing was repeated at the ridge to identify a ridge gap. Results Out of 82 redo cases for OAT recurrence in whom MI was ablated during the index produre, 7 (8.5%) was found to be ridge gap related reentry. TCL was (247.9±19.2) ms, and the left atrial endocardial activation time was (145.4±17.7) ms, accounting for (58.5±3.2)%of TCL. However, wide double potential was recorded along the previous ablated MI line where PPI was (34.3±6.6) ms longer than TCL, while PPI was signiifcantly shorter at the ridge[PPI-TCL (11.4±3.9) ms, P<0.001]. Tachycardia was terminated at the ridge in 6 cases and at the corresponding site in coronary sinus in 1 case. No recurrence was found during follow-up for (11.1±4.5) months. In addition, in 36 patients undergoing MI ablation in whom criterion of bi-directional block was fuliflled, conduction gap located at the ridge was found in 5 (13.9%) cases. Conclusions MI ridge gap related reentry is a distinctive OAT, in which the ridge was used as the critical isthmus, whereas the previous ablated MI line is not part of the reentry. MI pseudo-block due to the ridge gap may lead to this type of recurrent tachycardia.
