OBJECTIVETo explore clinical efficacy of double Endobutto reconstituting coracoclavicular ligament combined with repairing acromioclavicular ligament in stage I in treating acromioclavicular dislocation with Rockwood type III - V .

METHODSFrom January 2010 to September 2013, 56 patients with Rockwood type III - V acromioclavicular dislocation were treated by operation, including 20 males and 36 femlaes, aged from 32 to 52 years old with an average of 38.5 years old. Twenty-five patients were on the left side and 31 cases on the right side. The time from injury to operation was from 3 to 14 days, averaged 7 days. All patients were diagnosed as acromioclavicular dislocation with Rockwood type III - V, and double Endobutto were used to reconstituting coracoclavicular ligament, line metal anchors were applied for repairing acromioclavicular ligament. Postoperative complications were observed, Karlsson and Constant-Murley evaluation standard were used to evaluate clinical effects.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 8 to 24 months with average of 11 months. According to Karlsson evaluation standard at 6 months after operation,42 cases were grade A, 13 were grade B and 1 was grade C. Constant-Murley score were improved from (42.80±5.43) before operation to (91.75±4.27) at 6 months after operation. All items at 6 months after operation were better than that of preoperative items. Forty-eight patients got excellent results, 7 were moderate and only 1 with bad result. No shoulder joint adhesion, screw loosening or breakage were occurred during following up.

CONCLUSIONDouble Endobutto reconstituting coracoclavicular ligament combined with repairing acromioclavicular ligament in stage I for the treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation with Rockwood type III - V could obtain early staisfied clinical effects, and benefit for early recovery of shoulder joint function.

To discover novel fluoroquinolone lead compounds as possible anti-infective or/and antitumor chemotherapies, combination principle of pharmacophore-based drug design, a series of novel tricyclic fluoroquinolone title compounds, [1,2,4]triazino[3,4-h][1,8]naphthyridine-8-one-7-carboxylic acid derivatives ( 5a-5p), were designed and synthesized with a fused [1,2,4]-triazine ring unit. Their structures were characterized by spectral data and elemental analysis and the in vitro antibacterial and anti-cell proliferation activities were also evaluated. The results showed that the titled compounds exhibited more significant inhibitory activities against drug-resistant bacteria (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and multi drug-resistant Escherichia coli strains) and three tested cancer cell lines (human hepatoma SMMC-7721, murine leukemia L1210 and human murine leukemia HL60 cells). Interestingly, SAR showed that compounds with electron-donating groups attached to benzene ring had stronger antibacterial activity than antitumor activity, but electron-withdrawing compounds displayed more potential antitumor activity than antibacterial activity, especially antitumor activity of nitro compounds was comparable to comparison doxorubicin. Thus, novel triazine-fused tricyclic fluoroquinolones as potent anti-infective or/and antitumor lead compounds are valuable to pay attention and for further development.

To explore an efficient strategy for the conversion of antibacterial fluoroquinolones into antitumor fluoroquinolones, an azole heterocyclic ring of oxadiazole instead of the C-3 carboxylic acid group with a functionalized hydrazone group as a modified side-chain, fifteen novel 2-(fluoroquinolon-3-yl)-oxadiazole-5- sulfanylacetylhydrazone derivatives 7a-7o were designed and synthesized on the basis of the pharmacophore hybridization principle from pefloxacin, separately. The structures for fifteen title compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR and MS, and their in vitro antitumor activity against Hep-3B cell line was evaluated by a MTT assay. The results showed that the title compounds exhibited more significantly inhibitory activity than that of the parent pefloxacin, in which compounds with electron-withdrawing group attached on aryl ring had more potency than that of compounds with electron donating group, especially compounds with a carboxylic substituent were comparable to comparison doxorubicin. It suggests that it is favorable for an improvement of antitumor activity to remain a carboxylic acid unit at the aromatic ring.

Objective To observe the effect of leukocytapheresis(LCAP)on the coagulation,fibrinolysis system and lung injury in the endotoxemia dog and explore the mechanism in the endotoxin-induced lung injury dog. Methods Endotoxemia-induced model in dogs was established by administration of lipopolysaccharide(LPS,2 mg/kg).Separation of the leucocytes wag performed with the automated continuous flow blood cell separators.A total of 30 male mongrel dogs were randomly divided into LPS group(group L,only injected with LPS,with no LCAP),sham LCAP group(group S,received sham LCAP at 12-14 hours after administration of LPS)and LCAP treatment group(group T,received LCAP at 12-14 hours after administration of LPS),10 dogs per group.The dynamic changes of the activated protein C(APC),soluble thrombomodulin and plagminogen activator inhibitor-1 in the serum were measured at 0 hour before LPS administration,at 2,6,12,14,16,24 and 36 hours after administration of LPS.Results Through LCAP,there found the following four results:(1) the APC level in the serum of the group T wag(50.805±4.422)μg/ml and(40.480±2.993)μg/ml at 14 hours and 16 hours respectively,which were significantly higher than(45.881±4.024)μml and(35.935±4.057)μg/ml in the group L(P<0.05).(2)The expressions of soluble thrombomadulin in the group T was (9.688±O.914)μml and(10.492±O.865)μg/ml at 14 hours and 16 hours respectively,which was statistically lower than(11.005±0.854)μg/ml and(12.04±0.954)ug/ml in the group L(P<0.05).(3)Thelevel of plagminogen activatorinhibitor-1 in the group T was lower than that in the group the group T Wag statistically lower than that in the group L(ALI/ARDS occurred in 2 and 7 dogs of the groups T and L respectively within 36 hours after infusion of LPS.P<0.05). Conclusions At the decrease the incidence of acute lung injury partly due to its role in improving the function of coagulation and fibrinolysis.

BACKGROUND: The investigation of culturing, passaging and establishing human limbal stem cells can strengthen the recognition of the stem cells and provide the enough cellular reserve for the basic and clinical research of limbal stem cell transplantation.OBJECTIVE: To explore a method of pessaging and establishing cell line of human limbal stem cells cultured in vitro.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Gannan Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed at Scientific Center of Gannan Medical College and the National Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-Sen University from June 2003 to April 2004. Fresh human limbus corneae were isolated from two healthy donors. Procedures were performed according to the informed consent of the donors. Main reagents contained RPMI-1640 (Sigma R8755, containing L-glutamine) and 200 g/L fetal calf serum (FCS) (Gibco 16140-071). DMEM medium, chondroitin sulfatase and human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) were purchased from Sigma Co. USA; HEPES and DMSO were bought from Gibco, USA; 100% glycerinum was purchased from Yunjia Huangpu Pharmaceutical Product Limited Company, PRC; glutaraldehyde was bought from E.Merk, Germany; Alcohol, chlorhydric acid, acetone and methyl aldehyde were purchased from Beijing Chemical Agent Company, PRC; 0.25% parenzyme was bought from Shanghai Xinhua Pharmaceutical Factory, PRC.Above-mentioned reagents were analytical pure grade.METHODS: After digestion, human limbal tissues in limbal basilar part with an abundant pigment were cultured in the culture flask containing RPMI-1640 and 200 g/L FCS and in culture dish containing amniotic extracellular matrix (AECM) as the cultural supporter. Primary and passage cells were observed under light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The revival ratio of stem cell refrigeration of every generation was calculated by the trypanblau exclusion experiment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Observational results of limbal stem cells during the primary culture and serial subcultivation in vitro, and ② revival ratio of stem cell refrigeration.RESULTS: ①Findings of primary culture: Most limbal stem cells in the culture flask had the adherence and were arrayed uniformly sparsely to form monolayer and adhered to the bottom of culture flask under the inverted phase contrast microscope after 1-day culture. ② Findings of serial subcultivation: After human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was added into the second passage, cells were scattered into the monolayer and adhered to grow quickly.Morphological variability of all the cells increased obviously when passage the 30th generation. The cellular volume was obviously increasing, and the round or irregular round cells gathered together. The 33rd generation human limbal stem cells still could vigorously differentiate, proliferate and grow in ACEM. ③ The revival ratio of stem cell refrigeration was 82.2%.CONCLUSION: The human limbal stem cell lines were preliminarily established by culturing and freezing the cells of 33 generations in vitro. The human limbal stem cell lines preferred to grow in the culture dish containing AECM as the cultural supporter.

Objective To assess the left ventricular systolic asynchronicity in chronic ischemic model with real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE), and to explore the affection of low-dose dobutamine to it. Methods A chronic ischemic model was induced by placing an Ameroid constrictor in the left circumflex(LCX) in swines,then full volume RT-3DE was performed by Philips iE33 with X3-1 probe combining rest and stress(dobutamine stress echocardiography, DSE) every week after LCX constriction.Ten normal pigs before operation served as controls (group A). Examination of all the models post operation were grouped into group B (mild stenosis, LCX stenosis＜50% ), group C (moderate stenosis, LCX stenosis 50%～75%) and group D (severe stenosis, LCX stenosis≥75%) according to the results of coronary angiography. Images were copied to QLAB 5.2 postprocess workstation,and 3DQA software was used to analyze the full volume data sets. The time to the point with minimal systolic volume (Tmsv) in each segment was taken to derive the following indexes of systolic synchrony: the maximum difference of Tmsv (Tmsv-dif) and standard deviation(Tmsv-SD) among various segments and standard index (Tmsv-dif% and Tmsv-SD%), to evaluate left ventricular dyssynchrony. Tmsv3-6 represented the maximum difference of Tmsv between lateral segment and posterior septum (Tmsv3-5: between lateral segment and inferior) in basal level. Results Tmsvl2-Dif%, Tmsv6-Dif%, Tmsv3-6% and Tmsv3-5% under stress condition in group C and D were significantly higher than those at rest;all the data in group D were significantly higher than in group A and B, and in group C higher than group A ( P ＜0.05,0.01 ). Compared with group A,Tmsv6-Dif,Tmsv3-6 and Tmsv3-5 in group B were significantly increased under stress condition,and so did their standardize data under both rest and stress conditions ( P ＜ 0.05, 0. 01 ). Conclusions RT-3DEcombined with DSE could display sensitively the left ventricular asynchrony caused by chronic ischemia,and that will be more significant in lateral wall in LCX stenosis than in normal segments.
