Objective To investigate the feasibility of repairing the radius defect with inductive bone regeneration membrane combined with freezed allogenic bone. Methods Preparation PLGA/bBMP+IGF-Ⅱ+ bFGF complosite was prepared as artificial periosteum. Twenty seven rabbits with 1.0 cm long right radius segmental osteoperiosteum defect were werved as the animal model, and randomly assigned to 3 groups with 9 in eath group; Group A: the defects were connected with the PLGA/bBMP+IGF-Ⅱ+bFGF membrane and allogenic bone; Group B: the defects were treated with the PLGA/bBMP+IGF-Ⅱ+bFGF membrane; Group C: the defects were implanted only woth allogenic bone grafts. Animals were killed at 2, 4, 8 weeks postoperation respectively. The healing was study with radiological, histological and immunological methods. Results The osteogenic ability in PLGA/bBMP+IGF-Ⅱ+bFGF group was superior to that in the other groups. The defects of group A ware fully repaired at week 8; bony bridging under remodeling was observed in group B; and the putrescence of allogenic bone which was packaged by mass of connective tissue was observed with group C; Group A caused lower titer of antibody than group C and inhibited lymphocytes reproduction in vitro; There was significant difference between group A and group C. Conclusion PLGA/bBMP+IGF-Ⅱ+bFGF artificial periosteum had provided a excellent osteoinduction condition. Artificial periosteum combined with freezed allogenic bone can effectively promote the rapair of radius defects of rabbit.

Objective To investigate the effect of estrogen on regression of vascular calcification in rats induced by vitamin D3 plus nicotine.Methods Ninety-six female SD rats were divided randomly into control group (n=24) and calcification group (n=72).Vascular calcification of 72 rats was induced by vitamin D3 and nicotine (VDN).On the day 1,the VDN group rats were injected with vitamin D3(300 000 U/kg,i.m),and were intragastric administrated with nicotine (25 mg/kg),after 9 hours,another dosage of nicotine was given again.After 4 weeks,the VDN group rats were subdivided randomly into 4 groups:VDN group(n=16),Sham operation group (n=16),ovariotomy group (n=16),estrogen group(after ovariotomy,17β-estrogen was subcutaneously injected,50 μg· kg-1· d-1,n=16).Results After 4 weeks,the VDN group showed obvious vascular calcification,and calcium content of the vessel wall was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01).Extensive calcification was witnessed on the aortic tunica media of the VDN group.After 12 and 8 weeks,the calcium content of the vessel wall in each subdivided groups was significantly lower than that at 4 weeks point(P<0.01),and the lowest calcinm content was in estrogen group,meanwhile the reduction of previously accumulated arterial calcium precipitate in each group was different.Conclusions It is a reversible process that vascular calcification induced by vitamin D plus nicotine in rats.Estrogen can promote the regression of vascular calcification.

Traditional sample entropy fails to quantify inherent long-range dependencies among real data. Multiscale sample entropy (MSE) can detect intrinsic correlations in data, but it is usually used in univariate data. To generalize this method for multichannel data, we introduced multivariate multiscale entropy into multiscale signals as a reflection of the nonlinear dynamic correlation. But traditional multivariate multiscale entropy has a large quantity of computation and costs a large period of time and space for more channel system, so that it can not reflect the correlation between variables timely and accurately. In this paper, therefore, an improved multivariate multiscale entropy embeds on all variables at the same time, instead of embedding on a single variable as in the traditional methods, to solve the memory overflow while the number of channels rise, and it is more suitable for the actual multivariate signal analysis. The method was tested in simulation data and Bonn epilepsy dataset. The simulation results showed that the proposed method had a good performance to distinguish correlation data. Bonn epilepsy dataset experiment also showed that the method had a better classification accuracy among the five data set, especially with an accuracy of 100% for data collection of Z and S.

Objective To evaluate the method and clinical effect of subtalar joint distractor assisted open reduction and internal fixation of comminuted intra-articular calcaneal fracture.Methods Twenty-two patients with fresh closed calcaneal fracture treated with open reduction and internal fixation from May 2011 to July 2013 were included in the study.According to the modes of operation,the patients were randomly divided into two groups (n =11 in each):in group A patients underwent fracture reduction assisted by subtalar joint distractor and in group B patients underwent Steinmann pin traction and poking reduction.All were fixed using the lateral calcaneal plate.Operation time,B(o)hler angle,Gissanes angle,calcaneus height,incision healing time and complications of the two groups were investigated for evaluating the effect of operation.Clinical effect was evaluated using the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score before the removal of internal fixation.Results Period of follow-up was (14.3±0.8)months (range,12 to 18 months).Two patients in group B had delayed wound healing,and were treated with regular wound care.At the final follow-up,no infection,nonunion,malunion and internal fixation failure were observed.B(o)hler angle,operation time and calcaneus height observed in group A were superior to those in group B (P <0.01).There was no significant difference in Gissanes angle between the two groups (P > 0.05).Compared to the preoperative data,B(o)hler angle,Gissanes angle and calcaneus height were significantly improved in both groups (P <0.01).AOFAS score was (83.6 ± 1.4) points in group A and (81.7 ± 1.5) points in group B.Conclusion Subtalar joint distractor assisted open reduction and internal fixation is effective to shorten operation time,improve fracture reduction,reduce wound complications and increase the operative effect for comminuted intraarticular calcaneal fracture.

To clone and sequence the human tissue kallikrein gene of Chinese, and to construct eukaryotic expression recombinant of KK, total RNA was extracted from human pancreas and human tissue kallikrein gene cDNA was amplified by PCR after reverse-transcription by using Oligo(dT) primer. The original kallikrein cDNA was recovered and filled with Klenow enzyme and inserted into KS plasmid. After restriction endonuclease digestion, KK cDNA was sequenced by ABI377 analyzer. Then the KK gene was amplified from pBluescript KSKK and inserted into pcDNA3. A sequence comparison showed that the cloned kallikrein gene was only one nucleotide different from that reported in the Genbank. The coding amino acid was Asp in the Genbank gene, while the coding amino acid of Chinese kallikrein gene was Asn. The KK cDNA fragment was inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3. The cloned kallikrein gene and the pcDNA3KK can be used for further study in gene therapy.. .

Background and purpose: Multidrug resistance (MDR) of tumor cell is the main reason for clinical chemotherapy failure as well as cancer recurrence and metastasis. This study was to construct a lentiveral vector of RNA interference of MDR1 gene and observe its inhibitive role on the expression of MDR1 in A549 and A549/DDP cells. Methods: Oligos of base pairs for hairpin RNA targeting MDR1 were chemically synthesized. Via annealing and inserting them into the down-stream of H1 promoter of linearized pSUPER, we obtained the siRNA constructs for MDR1, which were afterwards transfected into A549, a human lung cancer cell line expressing high level MDR1, the impact of constructs was observed on the expression and interference efficiency of siRNA against MDR1. The effective sequence of siRNA targeting MDR1 gene was confirmed. Both sense and antisence oligo DNA of the targeting sequence was designed, synthesized and cloned into the PTM vector, containing a promoter and a green fluorescent protein (GFP). The resulting lentiviral vector containing MDR1 siRNA was named PTM-siMDR1 and then transfected into A549 and A549/DDP cells after being confirmed by PCR and sequencing. Results: Restriction digestion and DNA sequencing showed that the siRNA constructs for MDR1 were successfully produced and the expressed siRNA could effectively down-regnlate the expression of MDRI. PCR demonstrated that the lentivirus RNAi vector of MDR1 producing PTM-siMDR1 was constructed successfully. The chemosensitivity of A549/DDP cells to cisplatin were enhanced obviously after trartsfection. Conclusion: The lentivirus RNAi vector of MDR1 can significantly revise the resistance ofA549/ DDP cells with eisplatin after infection.
