[Objective]To design a method of in vitro preparation and seperation for metallic wear particles around joint prosthesis and evaluate its feasibility in medical experiments.[Method]Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Gr-Mo alloys were used to make two friction jars respectirely. National inventive patent applied number 03142073.7.Lots of quadrate blocks made of the same materials are put into the jars respectively,which were then.lubri cated by man-made body fluid and vibrated on a bottle shaker.After 21 days the fluid was harvested and centrifuged to get the produced wear particles.The collected particles were studied by using element trace analysis,laser countersizer and scanning electron microscopy.The J774.A1 macrophages cultured together with these particles for 24 hours were observed under inverted phase contrast microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.[Result]A got great amounts of metallic particles with 1?m diameter coned beproduce using this method.The aver age diameter of titanium alloys(Dv90) is 1.011 and that of Co-Gr-Mo is 1.010.Particle size distribution had good consistency in different materials.Under scanning electron microscopy ,the particles had irregular shapes just like those got from revision operations.The particles taken into the J774.A1 macrophages could be seen under inverted p hase contrast microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.[Conclusion]This method is good enough to producl lots of metallic wear particles mosth like those around total joint prosthesis and can be used in further in vivo and in vitro studies about joint prosthesis loosening.

Urid acid is one of the terminal metabolites of human body.More and more attention was paid to its metabolic mechanisms in intestinal tract;however, few studies were seen so far.This study aims to illuminate the metabolic mechanism of uric acid in intestinal tract by two ways:one is the transporters associated with intestinal epithelium, including ABCG2 and SLC2A9, the other is decomposition of uric acid by intestinal flora.We hope this review can provide new insights to decrease blood uric acid and treat urate-related diseases, and also provide a new way to alleviate drug-induced kidney damage.

Background:Vitamin D receptor( VDR)is a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily,which plays roles in various biological processes including cell proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis and immune responses,and is low expressed in many malignant tumors. Aims:To evaluate the expression and regulation mechanism of VDR in colorectal cancer. Methods:A total of 30 patients with colorectal cancer admitted from February 2010 to December 2012 at Ren Ji Hospital,School of Medicine,Shanghai Jiao Tong University were enrolled. Expression of VDR in cancerous tissue and para-cancer noncancerous tissue was determined by immunohistochemistry. Clinical data of 224 patients with colorectal cancer were collected from Gene Expression Omnibus( GEO)for analyzing the correlation between VDR expression in cancerous tissue and clinicopathological characteristics as well as survival time. Expression of VDR in human colon cancer cell lines HCT116 and SW620 transfected with enhancer of zeste homolog 2( EZH2 )-siRNA or treated with 5-azacytidine (5-AZA)was determined by real-time PCR,and methylation level of VDR promoter was determined by methylation-specific PCR( MSP). Results:Positivity rate of VDR was significantly lower in colorectal cancer tissue than that in para-cancer noncancerous tissue( 26. 7% vs. 70. 0%,P < 0. 001 ). Expression of VDR was negatively correlated with histological staging,distant metastasis,vascular metastasis and lymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer(P<0. 05). Survival time was significantly longer in patients with high expression of VDR than patients with low expression of VDR (P=0. 032). Compared with cells transfected with control-siRNA,expression of EZH2 mRNA and methylation level of VDR promoter in HCT116 and SW620 cells transfected with EZH2-siRNA were significantly decreased(P<0. 05),and expression of VDR mRNA was significantly increased(P<0. 05). Compared with negative control group,methylation level of VDR promoter in HCT116 and SW620 cells treated with 5-AZA was significantly decreased(P<0. 05),and expression of VDR mRNA was significantly increased(P<0. 05). Conclusions:Expression of VDR in colorectal cancer is down-regulated and positively correlated with a favourable prognosis. Transcriptional repression of VDR in colorectal cancer is co-regulated by histone methylation and DNA methylation.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP) detection in evaluation of acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) prognosis .Methods Medical records of patients with confirmed diagnosis of AAAD were retrospectively analyzed .64 patients were enrolled in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria ,and were di-vided into survival group(n=56) and death group(n=8) according to prognosis .Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was em-ployed to screen the independent risk factors which would affected the prognosis .Receiver operator characteristic ,ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of NT-proBNP for AAAD prognosis .Results Differences of history of smoking ,incidence sea-son ,disturbance of consciousness ,misdiagnosis ,low density lipid-cholesterol(LDL-C) ,fasting C-peptide(FCP) ,hypersensitive C-re-active protein(hs-CRP) ,cardiac troponin I(cTnI) ,NT-proBNP ,mean arterial pressure(MAP) and prothrombin time(PT) of pa-tients between the survival group and the death group showed statistical significance (P<0 .05) .Multivariate Logistic regression a-nalysis demonstrated that smoking history ,disturbance of consciousness ,high LDL-C ,high cTnI ,high NT-proBNP and low MAP were independent risk factors for patients with poor prognosis .ROC area under the curve(AUC) of NT-proBNP prediction for peri-operative mortality risk of patients with AAAD was 0 .697(P< 0 .05 ,95% CI:0 .643~0 .733) ,and its specificity and sensitivity were 75 .85% and 70 .07% ,respectively .When NT-proBNP was 909 .69 pg/mL ,its predictive value for AAAD was the best .Set the critical value as the threshold ,the patients above were divided into the threshold above group and the threshold below group . The survival rate of patients in the threshold below group [98 .18% (54/55)] was significantly higher than that in the threshold a-bove group[22 .22% (2/9)](χ2 = 7 .211 ,P< 0 .05) .Conclusion NT-proBNP level is closely related to the prognosis of patients with AAAD and NT-proBNP detection may be conducive to predicting high risk of AAAD .
