To explore the clinical classification of hamate hook fracture and the treatment strategy for different type of fractures, 12 patients who suffered from hamate hook fractures were followed up retrospectively. According to the fracture sites and the prognosis, we classified the hamate hook fractures into 3 types. Type I referred to an avulsion fracture at the tip of hamate hook, type II was a fracture in the middle part of hamate hook, and type III represented a fracture at the base of hamate hook. By the classification, in our series, only 1 fell into type I, 7 type II, and 4 type III. The results were evaluated with respect to the functional recovery, recovery time and the association among the clinical classification, pre-operative complications and treatment results. The average follow-up time of this group was 8.4±3.9 months. Two cases were found to have fracture non-union and both of them were type II fractures. Six patients had complications before operation. Five cases were type II fractures and 1 case type III fracture. All the patients were satisfied with the results at the time of the last follow-up. Their pain scale and grip strength improved significantly after treatment. All the pre-operative complications were relieved. The recovery time of hamate hook excision was significantly shorter than that of the other two treatments. The incidences of both pre-operative complications and non-union in type II fractures were higher than those in type I and type III fractures. It was concluded that, generally, the treatment effects with hamate hook fracture are quite good. The complication incidence and prognosis of the fracture are closely related to the clinical classification. Early intervention is critical for type II fractures.

AIM To investigate whether the relaxation characteristics of phytoestrogens resveratrol and phloretin on contractile response of aortic strips are similar to that of estrogen and the mechanisms underground. METHODS Aortic strips from rabbits were suspended in organ baths containing Krebs solution, and then isometric tension was measured. RESULTS Resveratrol and phloretin inhibited the contractile responses to norepinephrine (NE), KCl and CaCl2, shifted their concentration-response curves rightward with pD2′ values of 2.89, 3.34, 3.37 for resveratrol and 3.23, 3.52, 3.77 for phloretin respectively. Also both of them concentration-dependently relaxed KCl-precontracted aortic strip. The relaxing response of resveratrol but not of phloretin in aortic strip was significantly reduced by removal of endothelium or incubation with Nω-L-nitro-arginine and methylthioninium chloride, however both their relaxant effects were not affected by indometacin and propranolol. In Ca2+-free Krebs solution containing 0.01 mmol·L-1 EGTA, resveratrol and phloretin inhibited NE-induced contraction which was caused by Ca2+ release from intracellular store, but did not affect the contraction which was induced by Ca2+ influx. CONCLUSION Resveratrol and phloretin can induce vasorelaxations which may relate to inhibition of Ca2+ influx through potential-dependent calcium channels and Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, and the relaxing response of resveratrol is endothelium-dependent in part, but of phloretin is not endothelium-dependent.

BACKGROUND: As a reliable marker of inflammation, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) plays an important role in atherogenesis. Recently, it is assumed in researches of recent years that chronic inflammation mediated by ICAM-1 is involved in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy probably, but there are still some objections reported. Tanshinone ⅡA is a kind of liposoluble extract from danshen(Radix Salviae Mitiorrhizae) . It is verified in animal experiment that it can inhibit hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between ICAM-1 and hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy and the effect of tanshinone ⅡA on expression of ICAM-1.DESIGN:A randomized controlled observation was designed.SETTING: Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in the Laboratory of Emergency Department of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from October 2002 to January 2004. Ten male WKY rats(10 WKY rats) of 12-week-old and 20 rats with spontaneous hypertension(20 SHR rats) were employed and divided into the control group(10 WKY rats), hypertension group(10 SHR rats) and tanshinone ⅡA group(10 SHR rats).injected from caudal vein for treatment and distilled water at the same dose was injected in the other two groups. Twelve weeks later, the rats were sacrificed and myocardium was collected for specimen preparation. Haematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining, VG staining, immunocytochemical staining and myocardial ED1 labeling were applied to determine myocardial macrophage infiltration degree. The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) were used to determine the expressions of ICAM-1 mRNA and protein.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Degree of macrophages infiltration and the expressions of ICAM-1 mRNA and protein in myocardium in each group.RESULTS: Twelve SHR and 10 WKY rats were employed in the experiment pared with the control group, ICAM-1 mRNA and protein expressions in hypertrophic myocardium were increased significantly in hypertension group (0.176±0.087,0.537±0.195;0.104±0.011,0.173±0.027, P ＜0.01or P ＜ 0.05) . Infiltration of macrophage was significant(0. 62 ±0.07,non Ⅱ A group, the expressions of ICAM-1 mRNA and protein were decreased significantly(0. 537 ±0. 195, 0.291 ±0. 106; 0. 173 ±0.027, 0. 125± 0. 014, P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0. 05); the amount of macrophages infiltration was decreased(1.85 ±0. 23, 1.16 ±0. 17, P ＜ 0.05) and the degree of cardiomyocytic hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis was remarkably relieved.CONCLUSION: Excessive expression of myocardial ICAM-1 and its mediated inflammatory cellular infiltration plays an important role in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy. The inhibition of tanshinone ⅡA on left ventricular hypertrophy may be contributed to decreased expression of ICAM-1 and alleviated inflammatory cellular infiltration in myocardium.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of dual energy CT for small central cervical metastatic lymph nodes in patients with papillary thyroid cancer.Methods The data of 43 patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.All of the patients underwent dual energy CT scan before operation.The short diameter,iodine concentration and normalized iodine concentration (NIC) of enhanced arterial and venous phases and the slope of the energy spectrum curve were analyzed between metastatic central cervical lymph nodes and non-metastatic lymph nodes.ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnosis efficacy of iodine concentration and NIC for metastatic lymph nodes of thyroid carcinoma.Results Totally there were 119 lymph nodes in 43 patients included 55 thyroid papillary carcinoma metastasis lymph nodes (metastasis group) and 64 non-metastatic lymph nodes (non-metastasis group).There was significant differences of the mean short diameter of the lymph nodes between the two groupos (t=-2.20,P=0.03).In arterial phase,the average iodine concentration of metastasis group and non-metastasis group were (2.93±1.62)mg/ml and (2.17±1.09)mg/ml;the NIC were 0.33±0.21 and 0.19 ± 0.12;and the slope of the energy spectrum curve were 0.79±0.43 and 0.63±0.37 respectively.In venous phase,the average iodine concentration of metastasis group and non-metastasis group were (2.68± 1.54) mg/ml and (2.17 ± 1.01) mg/ml;the NIC were 0.51 ± 0.18 and 0.43 ± 0.15;the slope of the energy spectrum curve were 0.54 ± 0.42 and 0.62 ± 0.39 respectively.The iodine concentration and NIC in both phases and the slope of spectrum curve in arterial phase had statistical differences between the metastasis and non-metastasis groups (all P＜0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of iodine concentration and NIC in the diagnosis of metastatic lymph nodes were 0.62 and 0.73 in arterial phase,respectively.And the AUC of iodine concentration and NIC were 0.61 and 0.63 in venous phase,respectively.Conclusion There are differences of iodine concentration,NIC in arterial and venous phases and curve slope in arterial phase of dual-energy between malignant and benign central cervical lymph nodes in thyroid papillary carcinoma.Dual energy CT technology is helpful in identifying of metastatic from non-metastatic small central cervical lymph nodes.

Objective To investigate the effects of deletion of adenosine A2A receptors on peripheral leukocytes on cerebral white matter lesions induced by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.Methods Twenty-four wild type(WT) male mice were given a ? irradiation of 12.5Gy,followed by receiving bone marrow cells tail vein from female A2A receptor knocked out(KO) mice via tail vein,were assigned as KO→WT group,while those received bone marrow cells from WT female mice were assigned as WT→WT group(n=20).The efficiency of reconstitution of bone marrow cells in recipient mice was assessed 7 weeks after transplantation by PCR and immunofluorescent technique.Then,the recipient mice were subjected to bilateral common carotid artery stenosis with internal diameter of 0.18mm by external banding using microcoils at 8 weeks after transplantation.On 7d,14d and 30d after the surgery,corpus callosum,fiber bundles of Caudoputamen and optic tract were harvested from the cerebral white matter,and stained with Kluver-Barrera staining for observing the changes in nerve fibers,and with GFAP and CD11b immunohistochemistry staining for observing the proliferation of microglia and astrocytes.Results At 7 weeks after successful transplantation,the genotype of sex chromosome in peripheral leukocytes of the male recipient mice was changed into female pattern.The expression rate of A2A receptor was 9.73%?2.05% in KO→WT group and 93.82%?11.24% in WT→WT group,with significant difference between the two groups(P

Objective To observe behavioral characteristics and pathologic changes of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in mice. MethodsTotally 62 adult C57BL/6 mice were subjected to either sham-operation (n=31) or bilateral common carotid artery stenosis using external microcoils with an inner diameter of 0.18 mm(n=31). At 30 d after the stenosis, the animals of the 2 groups (8 mice for each group) underwent behavioral test of 8-arm radial maze. In 7, 14 and 30 d, the rest mice were sacrificed for their brain tissue samples which were examined with Kluver-Barrera staining and immunohistochemical assay for markers of microglia and astroglia, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and CD11b. In 14 d after the model establishment, Evans blue dye extravasation test was performed for the blood-brain barrier function. ResultsThe model group made significantly more errors than sham-operated group in 8-arm radial maze test at 30 d after the surgery. White matter lesions occurred and the proliferation of activated microglia and astroglia were observed in white matter in model mice after 14 and 30 d bilateral common carotid artery stenosis. The disruption of blood-brain barrier function of model mice was indicated in the evans blue extravasation test at 14 d after bilateral common carotid artery stenosis. ConclusionCognitive impairment, white matter lesions and glial activation are successfully induced after bilateral common carotid artery stenosis in mice model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.

Objective To investigate the effect of adenosine A2A receptor deficiency on the ischemic neuronal injury and its potential mechanism.Methods Transient(2 h)cerebral ischemia was induced by the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)in mice.Adenosine A2A receptor knockout(A2ARKO)mice and their wild-type littermates(A2ARWT)were divided into 2-hour cerebral ischemia group,cerebral ischemia with 22-hour reperfusion group and cerebral ischemia with 46-hour reperfusion group.Cerebral infarction volume was measured by image analysis of brain sections stained with cresyl violet(CV).Brain water content was evaluated with the dry-wet weighing method.The expression of calbindin D-28k(CB)and aquaporin-4(AQP4)in ischemic brain was determined with immunohistochemical methods.Results The cerebral infarction volumes in 2-hour cerebral ischemia group,cerebral ischemia with 22-hour reperfusion group and cerebral ischemia with 46-hour reperfusion group of A2ARKO mice were lesser than those in the corresponding groups of A2ARWT mice.Compared with A2ARWT mice,A2ARKO mice had more CB,lesser AQP4 expressions and lesser brain water contents.Conclusion Adenosine A2A receptor deficiency exerts the protection against ischemic brain injury both in the acute phase and reperfusion phase,and attenuates brain edema caused by cerebral ischemia,which may be due to the inhibition of intracellular calcium overload and AQP4 expression.

OBJECTIVE: Compare the clinical characteristics and application value between elcetrically evoked stapedius responses and neural response telemetry. METHOD: Select number 1, 7, 11, 17, 22 electrodes from 21 cochlear implanting nucleus 24R cochlear implants, using NRT3.0 software provided by Cochlear corporation to test the threshold of elcetrically evoked stapedius responses and neural response telemetry during operation and subjective psychological physical test after operation repectively named elcetrically evoked stapedius responses threshold, electrically evokded compound aciton potentials threshold, and T-levels. Respectively study the correlations of ESRT, ECAP threshold, and T-levels. RESULT: The detection rates of ESRT, NRT, and T-levels were 96.19%, 93.33%, 100%. The mean thresholds of ESRT were 206.61 +/- 10. 74, 208.48 +/- 13.64, 205.52 +/- 14. 63, 203.76 +/- 12.97, 199.50 +/- 11.19; The mean thresholds of NRT were 184.11 +/- 6.35, 188.55 +/- 11.70, 187.00 +/- 12.29, 181.85 +/- 13.22, 179.00 +/- 10.50; The mean thresholds of T levels were 145.48 +/- 18.66, 148.62 +/- 8.22, 146.62 +/- 18.08, 142.52 +/- 13.11, 140.33 +/- 13.68. The mean thresholds of ESRT in each electrode were rather greater than that of T-levels. There is a high degree of consistency in the mean thresholds of ES RT, NRT and T-levels. The test time, test means, unilaterally detection rate during operation, ESR is better than NRT. All the electrodes were set as observation objects, the correlation of ESRT and NRT is 0.69, the correlation of NRT and T is 0.62, and the correlation of ESRT and T is 0.39. CONCLUSION The application of elcetrically evoked stapedius responses and neural response telemetry during operation can rapidly estimate wether the implant is in good condition and the pathway is normal. Rather than neural response telemetry, elcetrically evoked stapedi us responses is more flexible, convienient, accurate and visual, while it is more objective superiority after operation especially for young children for the former detector.
