Objective To evaluate the MR imaging features of chondrnblastoma. Methods MRI examinations of 20 patients with histological proven chondroblastoma were reviewed retrospectively. The MRI findings of chondroblastoma including the signal intensity, the shape, the growth patterns, and the surrounding bone marrow edema and the adjacent soft tissue edema, the periosteal reaction, the adjacent joint effusion were analyzed . Results All 20 cases demonstrated heterogeneous MR signal intensity on T1WI and T2WI images and showed Iobular margins. Sixteen cases demonstrated expansive growth patterns. Surrounding bone marrow edema was found in 18 cases and adjacent soft tissue edema in 14 cases. Periosteal reaction was identified in 6 cases. In 7 cases the tumor extended to adjacent soft tissue. Adjacent joint effusion was visible on MRI in 6 cases. Conclusion Heterogeneous signal intensity, lobular margins and expansive growth pattern, adjacent bone marrow and soft tissue edema were the common features of chondroblastoma on MRI.

Objective To study the regulation of quorum sensing molecule tyrosol and farnesol on biofilm formation of Candida albicans. Methods Candida albicans biofilms of clinic isolates and standard strain SC5314 were built when quorum sensing molecule existed. And inverted microscope was used to observe the morphology of C. albicans cells. RT-PCR and MTT assay were carried out to investigate the effect of quorum sensing molecule on expression of the two genes (HTA1 and EFG1) and cytoactive. Results Tyrosol could not promote hyphae development and cytoactive of C. albicans biofilms. The expression of HTA1 of C. albicans in biofilms was up-regulated by tyrosol but EFG1 was not. The inhibitory effect of farnesol on hyphae development, cytoactive and gene expression were not changed by addition of tyrosol. Conclusion Tyrosol can make C. albicans biofilms active in early stage. But when tyrosol and farnesol were simultaneously added, the effect of tyrosol were masked by farnesol. And C. albicans cells were more sensitive to farnesol than to tyrosol.

Objective To measure the macular function of the fellow eye in patients with unilateral retinal vein occlusion (RVO).Methods A total of 24 cases of unilateral RVO were diagnosed by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA),and multifocal ERG (mfERG) was recorded by RETI scan.The mfERG data of 24 fellow eyes of those RVO patients,and 18 normal control eyes were analyzed and compared.The parameters included the amplitude density,latency of the P1 and N1 wave in 6 concentric circles and 4quadrants of the mfERG graphics.Results The amplitude densities of P1 and N1 wave in first and second concentric circles of RVO fellow eyes were significantly lower than normal eyes (t=4.520,2.147;P＜0.05).There was no significant difference (P＞0.05) of P1/N1 latency in any concentric circles or quadrants between RVO fellow eyes and normal eyes.Conclusion The central fovea of the RVO fellow eyes was functionally impaired.

Objective To explore the curative effects, side effects and complications of arterial embolization for the treatment of uterine leiomyoma.Methods Bilateral uterine arterial embolization with silk particles of 350～500 ?m was performed in 16 cases of uterine leiomyomas with uterine hemorrhage as the main complaint.Results 15 patients underwent technically successful embolization. No serious complications occurred. The patients were followed up for 3～12 months. Menses returned to regular cycle. In the patients with anemia, the hemoglobin concentration rose up to normal level. The sizes of uterine leiomyoma decreased by 52% after 6 months of the treatment.Conclusions Uterine arterial embolization is an effective and less invasive therapy with no serious complications for patients with uterine leiomyoma, especially for presentation of the uterus.

PThirty-seven patients suffering from internal fixation failure in treating intertrochanteric fracture were selected from Department of Orthopaedics, First People’s Hospital of Chenzhou between July 2000 and March 2008, including 20 males and 17 females aged 74 years (range 63-84 years). All were treated by total hip replacement (THR) due to cutting damage of screws to femoral head, neck and acetabulum. The THR was performed 13-23 months from the first internal fixation. All patients had no severe cardiorespiratory dysfunction, local infection or other contraindication for replacement. Preoperative Harris scores were (40.0?12.2) points. Among all patients, 18 were treated by cemented THR, and the others by un-cemented. All 37 patients were followed up for average of 6.3 months. The average operative time was (81?13.6) minutes; the average amount of bleeding in operation was (662?51.8) mL. No infection, hypostatic pneumonia, pressing sore or deep venous embolism of lower limbs was found after replacement. Hip pain, weakness, limitation of motion did not occur during the follow-up period. In addition, no loosening or breaking of prosthesis was found on X-ray films, but the osteoporosis was gradually improved. The Harris scores were (83.0?12.4) postoperatively. The outcomes were excellent in 20 cases, good in 12 cases, fair in 4 cases, and poor in 1 case, and the rate of excellent and good was 86.49%. THR is an effective method for intertrochanteric fracture after internal fixation failure.

OBJECTIVE To analyze and review the antibiotics utilization for the perioperative inpatients in our orthopedics department,and to evaluate the rationality of the utilization.METHODS Totally 267 cases of inpatients receiving operations from Sep to Nov,2008 were selected in our orthopedics department,then the methods of drug use review and drug frequency analysis were applied to analyze and review the effects of antibiotics utilization with retrospective statistics.RESULTS All of the 267 inpatients have taken antibiotics,of which the cephalosporins were the most frequently used.The antibiotics commonly used were cefminox,cefmetazole,and cefuroxime.The antibiotics of the highest daily defined dose(DDD) costs and total costs were cefamandole,flomoxef,etc.The average days of antibiotics utilization for clean operations,clean-contaminated operations,and contaminated operations were 7 days,8 days,and 9 days,respectively and 86% of the patients were antibiotic combination usage.CONCLUSIONS There is inappropriateness in the antibiotics utilization during perioperations of orthopedics.Guidelines of drug use must be followed to improve the drug usage.

RNA interfering (RNAi) is a process of sequence-specific, posttranscriptional gene silencing in animals and plants. In mammalian cells, duplexes of 19～25 nts (nucleotides) RNAs efficiently inhibit gene expression. The pBS/H1SP vector expressing siRNA is used which inhibit specific HIV-1 gene expression. To assess the intracellular effect of this H1 promoter-driven siRNA, a reporter plasmid pEGFP-C1-HIV protein which expresses fusion protein of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and HIV protein was used. The expression of the reporters can be easily visualized by fluorescence microscopy in living cells. siRNA-generating vectors targeted to several HIV-1 genomes were constructed and then co-transfected with respond reporter expression vectors into HEK293 cells. Cells transfected with pHIV-siRNA exhibited a significant inhibition of pEGFP-HIV expression compared with cells transfected with control vectors. By this way, it is successfully to select effective siRNA for silencing target HIV-1 genes. Then two or three siRNA transcripts targeted to different HIV genes were expressed by one plasmid, and a relative strong inhibition effect was observed.

BACKGROUND:Osteofascial compartment syndrome is usual y due to application of external fixation for fracture treatment. Vaseline gauze is used to cover and compress the wound. Frequent dressing change induces infection and is harmful to wound drainage and tissue granulation, final y causing prolonged time of hospitalization and bad results. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Ilizarov external fixation combined with vacuum sealing drainage treatment for limb fractures with osteofascial compartment syndrome. ＜br> METHODS:A total of 32 patients with limb fractures with osteofascial compartment syndrome were randomly divided into two groups. Al patients adopted the same fasciotomy and drug treatment. In treatment group, the fracture was fixed with Ilizarov external fixation and the wound was covered with the vacuum sealing drainage dressing. In control group, the fractures were treated by unilateral external fixation and the wound was covered with the vaseline gauze. The fracture healing, clinical effects, hospitalization duration and costs between two groups were compared. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the treatment group, there were 10 cases of healing wel , 4 cases of muscle contracture and 2 cases of amputation. In the control group, there were 7 cases of healing wel , 6 cases of muscle contracture and 3 cases of amputation. No significant difference in clinical outcome measures was detected between the two groups. Fracture healing rate and costs were higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P＜0.05), but hospitalization duration, skin grafts and the incidence of infection were lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P＜0.05). Results suggested that on the basis of timely fasciotomy and decompression, Ilizarov external fixation combined with vacuum sealing drainage treatment for limb fractures with osteofascial compartment syndrome has a high limb salvage rate, which can effectively treat fractures, elevate the healing rate of fractures, reduce infection rate and skin grafting rate, shorten hospital stays. However, the hospitalization expense is higher.
