OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical effects of arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and minimally invasive reconstruction of posteromedial corner (PMC).

METHODSThere were 22 cases of ACL and PMC tear were performed with reconstruction from March 2012 to February 2014. The patients were 29.4 years old on average, including 8 males and 14 females. ACL reconstruction was performed under arthroscopy and PMC reconstruction was performed minimally invasively through the ACL incision. The stability of knee was assessed by anterior drawer test,Lachman test,vulgus stress test and Slocum test. The function of knee was assessed by Lysholm score and Tegner activity rating. MRI of knee was checked 12 months after operation.

RESULTSThe stability tests of all patients were negative at 2 and 6 months after operation, and there was one positive case in anterior drawer test and another positive case in vulgus stress test at 12 months after operation. Lysholm score of all patients 12 months after operation was 96.8 +/- 6.8, which was significantly better than 32.0 +/- 11.2 before operation. Tegner activity rating of all patients at 12 months postoperatively was 6.1 +/- 0.9, which was significantly better than 0.9 +/- 0.5 before operation. It showed the grafts were very well in the MRI 12 months postoperatively.

CONCLUSIONArthroscopic ACL reconstruction and minimally invasive PMC reconstruction can restore the stability of knee.

Objective To observe the effect of iodine deficiency and hypothyroidism on the protein expressions of calcineurin in the hip-pocampus of pups. Methods Female Wistar rats (n=28) after pregenancy were randomly divided into control group,hypothyroid group and iodine deficient group. According to the dose of propylthiouracil (PTU) in the fed water, hypothyroid group was divided into 5 ppm group and 15 ppm group (7 rats in each group). Totally 5 pups from each group were sacrificed and perfused intracardially in postnatal day (PN) 7,PN14 and PN21. Brains were removed,fixed and sectioned coronally. All sections were observed and analysed for the protein exression of calcineurin by immunohistochemistry in the hippocampus CA1,CA3 and DG regions. Results In PN14 and PN21,protein levels of cal-cineurin in GA1 and CA3 regions of the hippocampus in iodine-deficient and 15 ppm treatment groups were significantly higher than those of the controls (P< 0.05) and in DG region,the contrary was true. In PN7,the positive products were scarely observated in each region and the protein expression was no significantly different in all four groups. Conclusion Iodine deficiency and hypothyroidism may increase the protein expression of calcineurin.

Objective To investigate the incidence of dental fluorosis,urinary fluoride level and intelligence of children who lived in the coal-burning-borne endemic fluorosis areas and to reveal the effects of comprehensive control measures on intelligence of children in this area.Methods Children aged 8-12 who lived in coal-burning-borne endemic fluorosis areas in Bijie City of Guizhou Province were selected and divided into two groups according to the duration of comprehensive treatments given:long treatment group (Xiaba Village and Zhongtun Village,furnace stovewas changed and comprehensive control measure of health education was carried out for more than 3 years) and short treatment group(Chadi Village and Maoliping Village,stoves were improved and health education time ＜ 1 year).The children who lived in a non-fluorosis area were selected as controls in 2012.Dental fluorosis was diagnosed by the method of Dean; urinary fluoride was analyzed by the method of fluoride-ion selective electrode; and the intelligence quotient (IQ) was measured by Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices Test.Results The number of children surveyed in control group was 104,long treatment group was 298,short treatment group was 339,and the incidence rates of dental fluorosis were 0 (0/104),725％(216/298) and 85.2％ (289/339),respectively,and the incidence rates of dental fluorosis in children lived in the endemic fluorosis areas were significantly increased compared with that of control group; the difference of incidence rates between long treatment group and short treatment group was statistically significantly(x2 =15.736,P ＜ 0.01).Urinary fluoride content were (2.33 ± 0.18) and (3.03 ± 0.16)mg/L,respectively,compared with the control group[(1.34 ± 0.64) mg/L],the values in endemic fluorosis areas were significantly higher(F =306.53,P ＜ 0.01).Above average IQ of children in the control group was 97.1％ (101/104),which was significantly higher than that of long and short treatment groups; after a lengthy treatment,mental retardation detection rate was significantly lower in the low-age group,8-10 year-old ehildren(x2 =7.542,P ＜ 0.01).Urinary fluoride content was negatively correlated with the level of IQ (r =-0.553,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The intelligence development of children in coal-burning-borne endemic fluorosis area is significantly delayed.After a certain period of comprehensive treatment,the decreased level of cognition is inhibited and the mental retardation in the low-age group is improved.

Objective:To prepare and purify siRNA targeting a proliferation-inducing ligand targeted(APRIL-siRNA),so as to provxde a basis for studying the role of APRIL in human pancreatic cancer.Methods:pET-22b-APRIL was constructed to express APRIL dsRNA of human pancreatic cancer cell line CFPAC-1 in E.coli and the product was purified by chromatography using CF-11 column.APRIL dsRNA was digested by RNaseⅢto prepare APRIL siRNA,then the reaction mixture was loaded onto a DEAE ion exchange chromatography to remove RNaseⅢfrom oligonucleotides,and size exclusion chromatography was used to purify 21 bp siRNA.The purified APRIL siRNA was used to transfect Chinese hamster ovary(CHO)cells and the expression of APRIL in CHO cells was observed under fluorescence microscope Results:APRIL dsRNA was successfully expressed in E.coli after IPTG induction and was purified by CF-11 column.dsRNA was hydrolyzed with RNaseⅢand was purified by DEAE ion exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography.15% nondenaturing PAGE and 12% SDS- PAGE confirmed that RNaseⅢwas removed from oligonucleotides and 21 bp siRNA was purified with size exclusion chromatography.It was also found that APRIL siRNA obviously depressed APRIL expression in CHO cells.Conclusion:We have successfully constructed APRIL siRNA targeting APRIL gene of CFPAC-1 cells with in vitro transcription,which provides a basis for knock-down of APRIL gene in CFPAC-1 cells.

Objective To investigate the impact of desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) on the proliferation of peripheral T lymphocytes from patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV).Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from 12 patients with PV and 22 normal human controls,cultured with or without the presence of Dsg3 or phytohemagglutinin for 3 days.Flow cytometry was performed to detect the changes of T-lymphocyte subsets in PBMCs stimulated with Dsg3 and proliferation of T-lymphocytes.Results In patients with PV,the percentage of Th2 and Th1 cells was 12.17%±5.32% and 4.08%±1.50%,respectively in Dsg3stimulated PBMCs,9.84%±5.41% and 3.91%±1.38%,respectively in non-stimulated PBMCs.Increased percentage of Th2 cells was observed in Dsg3-stimulated and non-stimulated PBMCs from patients with PV compared with those from normal human controls (both P<0.05).After stimulation with Dsg3,there was a significant proliferation of T cells from patients,and the proliferation rate of CD4+T cells was 4.65%±3.28%,which was significantly higher than that from normal controls(P<0.05).Conclusion Dsg3 can induce the specific proliferation of CD4+T cells,especially Th2 type CD+4 T cells,from patients with PV.

The use of flaps for plastic and reconstructive surgery is very popular today.More and more surgeons have realized that the blood supply plays an important role in the design and survival of flaps.After Ian McGregor and Ian Jackson first introduced the axial flaps into clinics,Mathes divided the flaps into two types in 1981,the fasciocutaneous perforator flaps and musculocutaneous perforator flaps.In 1989,the concept of perforator flap was first brought into clinical practice.With the development of microsurgery and anatomy,the epidermis of human skin is divided into areas based on the vascular anatomy.A new century of musculocutaneous perforator flaps has been established.The terminology,classification,characteristics and application of musculocutaneous perforator flaps are described in this paper.

Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of pleasant events among community-dwelling dementia patients. Methods Totally 266 community-dwelling dementia patients were recruited from Bei-jing,Guangzhou and Tianjin,and were investigated with the Chinese-version Pleasant Events Schedule-AD(PES-AD). Results The overall score of PES-AD was (14.0±6.7). The factor scores from high to low were sensory stimulation activities(0.9±0.5),family activities(0.8±0.5),emotional stimulation activities(0.8±0.4) and autonomy activities(0.6± 0.5). Multiple linear regression showed that the severity of disease,without chronic disease,educational level of de-mentia patients and their caregivers were significant influencing factors of pleasant events,which explained 41.1% of the total variance. Conclusion Sensory stimulation activities of community-dwelling dementia patients were relatively satisfactory,followed by family activities and emotional stimulation activities,but autonomy activities were relatively unsatisfactory. It is suggested to choose appropriate pleasant activities according to the severity of disease for de-mentia patients to improve their quality of life.

Objective To examine plasma inflammatory cytokines and assess stress response in different general anesthesia schemes in cesarean operation. Methods Sixty caesarean operation puerperas were randomly divided into two groups, including the group of sevoflurane (Group S) and the group of propofolum (Group P) in 30 cases of each group. At different time point, we recorded the mean arterial pressure and heart rate, text the blood concentration of inflammatory cytokines; The Apgar scores and arteria umbilicalis pH value after baby delivery were recorded. Results The blood pressure and heart rate of the P group after anesthesia induction of baby in delivery were lower than that before the anesthesia induction(P < 0.05). And there were also significant differences when compared with the S group (P < 0.05). The blood concentration of IL-6 and TNF-α of the P group afte operation were higher than that before the anesthesia induction(P < 0.05). There were also significant differences when compared with the S group(P < 0.05). The blood concentration of sTNFRⅡof the P group after operation and 24 hours after the surgery were higher than that before the anesthesia induction (P < 0.05). And there were also significant differences when compared with the S group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Administering Sevoflurane compound with Remifentanil to general anesthesia in Caesarean operation is safty and steady to inhibit stress reaction and prevent explicit memory from the operation.

Minichromosome maintenance protein 7 (MCM7) is an important regulator of DNA replication,and plays an important role in replication initiation and elongation steps.Recent studies show that MCM7 is closely related with the formation and growth of digestive tumors.The detection of MCM7 protein can provide new ideas for the early diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of the digestive tumors.
