Objective To evaluate the clinical effects in treating periprosthetic femoral fractures classified Vancouver B2 with a cementless modular revision femoral prosthesis.Methods Twenty-six patients (7 males and 19 females with mean age of 66.5 years,range 60-69 years) who suffered from periprosthetic femoral fractures classified Vancouver B2 were treated with a cementless modular revision femoral prosthesis in hip revision and open reduction and internal fixation with cables or plates from March 2007 to February 2014.The previous femoral prostheses included 21 cementless and 5 cemented hip stems.The period from former procedures to fractures was 16 months,range from 7 to 32 months.Harris hip scores and numerical rating scales were analyzed statistically.Time of leaving bed,discharging,fracture union postoperative complications and radiographic imaging were also recorded.Results The operation duration were 143 (range 105-165) minutes.Blood loss volume was 450 (range 270-780) ml.Blood transfusion volume were 330 (range 0-800) ml.All patients were followed up at least two years,averagely 3.5 years after surgeries.All fractures healed at 6.5 (range 3-12) months averagely after surgeries.Harris hip scores improved significantly from 11.8±2.5 before surgeries to 80.3±5.3 one month and to 91.4±7.3 six months after surgeries separately (F=0.715,P=0.001).Numerical rating scales were 9.6±0.3,9.4±0.4 and 9.1±0.7 points averagely in aspect of information acquisition,postoperative pain control and function recovery respectively one month after surgeries.Average time of leaving bed and discharging from surgeries was 68.3 (range 51-75) hours and 6.5 (range 5-9) days respectively.No postoperative complications was found except dislocation in 1 hip,lower limb discrepancy in 1 hip,DVT in 1 hip,and heterotopic ossification in 3 hips.Conclusion Due to achieving prosthetic stability and fracture union,periprosthetic femoral fractures classified Vancouver B2 treated with a cementless modular revision femoral prosthesis combined with open reduction and internal fixation with cables or plates can reach good clinical outcomes.

Objective To observe the relationship between the changes of plasma D dimer in pathogenic course and prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI). Methods Changes in plasma D dimer levels of 93 patients with ACI and 20 cases healthy persons were detected dynamically by Latex semi quantitative method. The relation between D dimer levels and focus size, severity of infarction and prognosis were analyzed. Results There was significant difference( P

OBJECTIVETo study the molecular mechanism of extracts from Euodia rutaecarpa on hepatotoxicity in mice.

METHODTotally 30 KM mice were divided into 3 groups and orally administrated extracts from E. rutaecarpa for consecutively 15 days. The expressions of Erkl/2, CDK8, CK1e, Stat3 and Src were detected by Western blotting method.

RESULTThe extracts from E. rutaecarpa could up-regulated Erkl/2, CDK8 and CK1e expressions (P <0.01) and down-regulate Stat3 and Src (P <0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe molecular mechanism of E. rutaecarpa on hepatotoxicity may be correlated with Erkl/2, CDK8, CKle, Stat3 and Src signal molecules.

High performance liquid chromatography-time-off-flight mass spectrometer (HPLC-TOFMS) technology coupled with partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) processed by SIMCA-P software was applied to investigate serum endogenous metabolites alternations of valsartan in spontaneous hypertension rats (SHR). And MetPA platform was used to connect identified potential biomarkers in corresponding metabolic pathways to find possible therapeutic mechanism of valsartan. Valsartan significantly declined the blood pressure of SHRs (P < 0.05) at fourth week. The metabolic profiling significantly changed and four metabolites involved in G protein-coupled pathway were identified. Metabolomics is able to detect holistic and microcosmic alternations in organism, so as to elucidate therapeutic mechanism of drugs.

BACKGROUND:Sirius red is a strong acid anionic dye. Being not-easyto-fade and specific, sirius red becomes the best dye for collagen staining.Collagen is a major component of extracellular matrix and has some specific physiological functions. Through synthesis and reconstruction of collagen, bone fracture repair will be accomplished.OBJECTIVE: Picric acid-Sirius red stained slides were observed under a polarized light microscopy for evaluation the dynamic changes in the ratio of different collagen types and their distributions in bone fracture healing.DESIGN: It was a controlled observation.SETTING: It was conducted in the Department of Orthopedics, Renmin Hospital, Wuhan University; Department of Traumatic Orthopaedics, Tianjin Hospital; Department of Traumatic Orthopaedics, Jishuitan Hospital,Medical Department, Peking University; Tissue Engineering Center of Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Medical Sciences of Chinese PLAMATERIALS: It was conducted at Tissue Engineering Center of Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Medical Sciences of Chinese PLA from March 2002 to September 2003. Three healthy adult Chinese sheep, male and in weight from 25 to 35 g, were selected.METHODS: All the animals were anesthesized and sterilized; a transverse osteotomy of the trunk of metatarsus was performed; and the end of fracture was fixed with a six-hole Medoff sliding plate. At the post-operative month 1, 3 and 6, samples were taken from bone fractures. After decalcification with EDTA, they were stained with Picric acid-sirius red, and the types and distribution of collagens were observed under a polarized light microscopy.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Types and distributions of collagens in bone lesion in different period of bone healing were investigated.RESULTS: Three sheep used in this study entered the statistical analysis.①Morphological features of various collagens under a polarized light microscopy postoperatively: Type Ⅰ collagen packed tightly, with a strong refraction and yellow, orange or red thick fibres. Type Ⅱ collagen formed a loose reticulation with fibres exhibiting different colour and a weak refraction. Thin fibres of type Ⅲ collagen with weak refraction and green colour formed a loose reticulation. ②Quantitative studies on various collagens under a polarized light microscopy postoperatively: At postoperative month 1,red or orange fibres (type Ⅰ collagen) were rarely seen in bone fracture,while green fibres (typical of type Ⅲ collagen) were dominant with a disorder pack. At postoperative month 3, red or orange fibres increased significantly and the ratio of type Ⅲ collagen reduced. The collagen fibres assembled regularly. At postoperative month 6, thick yellow-red collagen became dominant and thin green type Ⅲ collagen decreased dramatically and arranged in an obvious oblique, spiral and crossed orientations.CONCLUSION: Picric acid-sirius red stain combined with polarized light microscopy technique is not only capable of identifing type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagens in bone fraction, but also can reflect the morphological features,distribution and the ratio of these two type collagens. This approach has the virtues of easiness in operation, strong specificity and high sensitivity.
