BACKGROUND: Halofuginone has been proved to ameliorate the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.OBJECTIVE: To further verify the protective effect of halofuginone on early osteoarthritis.METHODS: Forty-five healthy male C57BL6J mice were randomly divided into three groups (n=15 per group): the mice in sham operation group were only subjected to right knee capsulotomy; in the other two groups, animal models of osteoarthritis were established by cutting off the right anterior cruciate ligament, followed by treated with distilled water (placebo group) or 0.5 mg/kg halofuginone (halofuginone group) via gavage, once daily beginning at 3 days after modeling. Twenty-eight days after treatment, all mice were sacrificed and the right knee was removed. The morphology and structure of the joint tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and safranin fast green staining; the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) was detected by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The structure of articular cartilage in the sham operation group was normal, the cells arranged in neat rows, and the articular surface was not worn. In the placebo group, the articular cartilage layer became thinner, the cartilage surface was worn and even fragmented, and cells arranged in disorder. In the halofuginone group,the cartilage cell layer was clear and tidy, with regular cell morphology. The hyaline cartilage thickness and hyaline cartilage thickness/calcified cartilage thickness were ranked as follows: sham operation group > halofuginone group >placebo group. The calcified cartilage thickness was the highest in the placebo group, followed by halofuginone group,and lowest in the sham operation group. Osteoarthritis Research Society International scores and TGF-β1 positive cells/chondrocytes in the halofuginone group were significantly lower than those in the placebo group, and all above indices showed significant differences among groups (P < 0.05). These results suggest that halofuginone via gavage can partially prevent articular cartilage degeneration in early osteoarthritis mice probably by downregulating the expression of TGF-β1, thus delaying the progression of osteoarthritis.

Objective To observe the changes of brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) and lower limb short latency somatosensory evoked potential ( SLSEP) in acute carbon monoxide poisoning patients and explore the predictive value of BAEP and SLSEP for delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP). Methods Sixty-six acute CO poisoning patients was divided into a DEACMP group and a non-DEACMP group according to their symptoms. At the same time, 60 healthy subjects were included in the control group. BAEP and lower limb SLSEP dynamic testing were conducted at different time points. Results The abnormal rates in the first test of BAEP and lower limb SLSEP in the acute CO poisoning patients were 31.8% and 68.2% respectively.The BAEP results in the acute stage and later in the DEACMP group were comparable to those of the non-DEACMP group and the normal control group. Interpeak latency of Ⅰ-Ⅲ was not significantly different, but the remaining indices were significantly longer. Compared to the control group, the lower limb SLSEP readings in the acute DEACMP group and the non-DEACMP group were significantly longer. Compared to the non-DEACMP group and the control group, the SLSEP results of the DEACMP group were significantly extended. The specificity index of the BAEP predicted DEACMP up to 85.7% , significantly more than SLSEP testing. Conclusions Early detection of BAEP can help predict DEACMP. This finding should be promulgated and applied.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1A receptor gene C(-1019)G polymorphism and geriatric depression and Alzheimer′s disease (AD) with depressive symptoms in Han Chinese. Methods The case control study was used in the study among 106 patients with geriatric depression, 72 AD patients with depressive symptoms and 150 healthy old individuals in China. The C(-1019)G polymorphism of 5-HT1A was analyzed with the technique of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results The frequencies of 5-HT1A genotype C/G (39.6%), G/G(24.5%) and allele G (44.3%) in the patients with geriatric depression were significantly higher than those in the controls (respectively 35.3%, 13.3%, 31.0%, P < 0.05). The frequencies of 5-HT1A G allele in the AD patients with depressive symptoms (41.0%) were significantly higher than those in the controls (31.0%,X2=4.2879, P<0.05). No significant difference in distribution of (5-HT)1A C (-1019) G polymorphism between the patients with geriatric depression and the AD patients with depressive symptoms was observed (P > 0.05). Conclusion The 5-HT1A gene C (-1019)G polymorphism may be associated with geriatric depression and AD with depressive symptoms and (-1019)G allele may be a risk factor for them.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical effect of one-stage revision combined with intra-articular injection of antifungal agents in the treatment of chronic periprosthetic fungal infection.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis of 11 patients(4 hips, 7 knees) admitted with chronic periprosthetic fungal infection at Department of Orthopaedics, First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2004 to April 2016.There were males and females with an age of 67 years (range:47-77 years). Each patient underwent single-stage revision including aggressive soft-tissue debridement. Liquid samples and tissue samples were immediately sent to the microbiology laboratory for drug sensitivity testing and histological analysis. Removed the infected components and cement thoroughly, pouring powdered vancomycin into the medullary cavity and direct intra-articular injection of fungussensitive antibiotics. The patients with infected hips received an uncemented prosthesis and 0.5 g of gentamicin loaded commercial cement was received by the patients with infected knee.After that, a new prosthesis was implanted.Long-term combination therapy of antibacterial agents and antifungal agents were given after operation. Recurrence of infection and clinical outcomes were evaluated. The follow-up period was 5 years (range: 2-12 years).
Results:
One patient died of acute heart failure on the eighth postoperative day.Three infection cases were recurred.Eight cases had satisfactory outcomes and required no additional surgical or medical treatment for recurrence of infection. The Harris hip score assessed preoperatively and at latest follow-up was increased from 39.25±5.12 to 79.50±4.79, the difference was statistically significant (

Objective To investigate the difference in behavioral and psychological symptoms among Al-zheimer's disease(AD)patients with different severity of white matter hyperintensity(WMH). Methods A total of 37 AD patients were enrolled and were followed-up for 4 weeks. They were checked by 3.0 T MRI at baseline, including T1,T2-weighted phase and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence(FLAIR phase).The image pro-fessionals analyzed the images and process data.The Fazekas scale was used for WMH rating.Assessment tools in-cluded the Neuropsychiatric Inventory(NPI)、MMSE and ADAS-cog. Results There were 14 patients in none-mild WMH group and 23 patients in moderate-severe WMH group. The age of two groups were 71.3 ± 12.5 and 78.7 ± 6.1 years old respectively(P<0.05).The comparison of NPI,MMSE and ADAS-cog assessment results be-tween two groups show that there is significance difference in NPI baseline scoring and 4-week scoring.The score in moderate-severe group w is higher than that in the none-mild group(P < 0.05). However,the changed value of baseline-4-week NPI is not statistically significant. There is no significant difference between MMSE and ADAS -cog score and changed value.Conclusion Taken together,the severity of WMH may be related to behavioral and psychological symptoms of patients with Alzheimer's disease.

BACKGROUND:
Cholecystectomy is a standard surgery for patients suffering from gallbladder diseases, while the causal effects of cholecystectomy on colorectal cancer (CRC) and other complications are still unknown.
METHODS:
We obtained genetic variants associated with cholecystectomy at a genome-wide significant level ( P value <5 × 10 -8 ) as instrumental variables (IVs) and performed Mendelian randomization (MR) to identify the complications of cholecystectomy. Furthermore, the cholelithiasis was also treated as the exposure to compare its causal effects to those of cholecystectomy, and multivariable MR analysis was carried out to judge whether the effect of cholecystectomy was independent of cholelithiasis. The study was reported based on Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Using Mendelian Randomization guidelines.
RESULTS:
The selected IVs explained 1.76% variance of cholecystectomy. Our MR analysis suggested that cholecystectomy cannot elevate the risk of CRC (odds ratio [OR] =1.543, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.607-3.924). Also, it was not significant in either colon or rectum cancer. Intriguingly, cholecystectomy might decrease the risk of Crohn's disease (OR = 0.078, 95% CI: 0.016-0.368) and coronary heart disease (OR = 0.352, 95% CI: 0.164-0.756). However, it might increase the risk of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (OR = 7.573, 95% CI: 1.096-52.318). Cholelithiasis could increase the risk of CRC in the largest population (OR = 1.041, 95% CI: 1.010-1.073). The multivariable MR analysis suggested that genetic liability to cholelithiasis could increase the risk of CRC in the largest population (OR = 1.061, 95% CI: 1.002-1.125) after adjustment of cholecystectomy.
CONCLUSIONS
The study indicated that cholecystectomy might not increase the risk of CRC, but such a conclusion needs further proving by clinical equivalence. Additionally, it might increase the risk of IBS, which should be paid attention to in clinical practice.
