Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2017;21(7):1036-1040
BACKGROUND:The incidence of posterior cruciate ligament injury combined with other knee ligament injuries is relatively high, but studies on the internal dynamic stress change of these ligaments are stil rare. OBJECTIVE:To simulate three-dimensional finite element model of the normal human knee and the complete posterior cruciate ligament rupture (III injury), calculate and analyze the stress distribution and changes of the medial collateral ligament, the lateral collateral ligament and the anterior cruciate ligament in the normal knee model and the complete posterior cruciate ligament rupture model. METHODS:We collected CT and MRI images of the healthy male right knee, and established three-dimensional finite element model of the normal human knee by using E-feature Biomedical Modeler, and ANSYS software. The simulation of a flexion moment at 0°, 30°, 60°, varus/valgus and internal/external rotation torque was applied on the established three-dimensional finite element model of the normal knee. The stress of posterior cruciate ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament and medial col ateral ligament was analyzed. During simulation of complete posterior cruciate ligament rupture, the stress of lateral coll ateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament and medial col ateral ligament was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Three-dimensional finite element biomechanical analysis data revealed that after posterior cruciate ligament rupture, the stress of lateral coll ateral ligament during inversion and external rotation of the knee joint obviously increased, but the stress of anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament slightly altered. These findings suggested that posterior cruciate ligament rupture may cause secondary injury to other ligaments of the knee joint, and further support the importance of the dynamic stability of the knee joint.

Objective To investigate?the?distribution?and?antibiotic?resistance?profile?of?clinical?isolates?in?2015?for?improving?antimicrobial treatment in Chuzhou First Hospital. Methods Bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were?performed?with?MicroScan?WalkAway?96?PLUS?bacterial?identification?system.?All?the?data?were?analyzed?by?WHONET5.6?software. Results A total of 1499 clinical isolates were collected during 2015, of which gram positive organisms and gram negative organisms accounted for 24.7% and 75.3%, respectively. Prevalence of MRSA among S. aureus was 37.0% and MRCNS among CNS 86.3%. All (100%) Staphylococcus and E. faecalis isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, daptomycin and linezolid. About 2.8% of the E. faecium isolates were resistant to vancomycin. All the Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates were penicillin-susceptible, mainly isolated from children. The prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) positive strains was 52.9% in E. coli, 30.8% in Klebsiella spp. (K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca) and 25.0% in P. mirabilis. The ESBLs-positive strains showed higher resistance rate than ESBLs-negative strains to most antibiotics. The percentage of the P. aeruginosa isolates resistant to meropenem and imipenem was all 29.4%. The percentage of the Acinetobacter spp. (A. baumannii accounted for 85.5%) strains resistant to imipenem and meropenem was 63.0% and 64.5%, respectively. Conclusions Antibiotic resistance is still serious in Chuzhou First Hospital in 2015, especially the emerging carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, which is of great concern.

Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2006;0(07):-
Objective To investigate the specific expression of nucleolin in the development of cap-stage tooth germ of mouse embryo,and detect the possible biological function of nucleolin. Methods In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were performed to detect the expression of nucleolin mRNA and protein in the development of tooth germ at embryo day 15(E15).Double staining for apoptotic cells and nucleolin was employed to explore the relationship between nucleoin and apoptosis in tooth germ. Results The expression of nucleolin mRNA and protein was mainly detected in the cervical loop,inner epithelium and the underlying dental papilla.Moreover,nucleolin protein was also located in the primary enamel knot and basement membrane.It was revealed by double staining that the fluorescence images of nucleolin and the location of apoptotic cells were not overlapped. Conclusion The expression pattern of nucleolin mRNA do not completely coincide with that of nucleolin protein at the cap stage of tooth germ.The location for nucleolin protein in the basement membrane suggests that nucleolin may be involved in the reciprocal interactions between the inner epithelium and dental papilla mesenchyme,subsequently affect the morphogenesis of tooth germ.

Objective To explore the optimal method of qualitative and quantitative assessment of retinal neovascularization(RNV),choroidal neovascularization(CNV) and leakage from CNV. Methods Thirteen mice were randomly divided into RNV assessment group(n=7)and CNV assessment group(n=6).For RNV assessment, 3 mice were served as normal controls,and the other 4 were made into models of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP).At postnatal d16,mice in normal control group and 3 ROP model mice received intraocular injection with FITC labeled or unlabeled antibody and were sacrificed 12 h later.The retinas were flat mounted(FITC labeled antibody) or incubated with secondary antibody(unlabeled antibody) and then flat mounted.The other ROP model mouse was served as blank control.For assessment of CNV and leakage from CNV,6 mice(12 eyes) were induced into models of CNV,and were randomly divided into two groups.Seven and 14d after model establishment,mice were intraocularly injected with unlabeled antibody,and fluorescein sodium were intraperitoneally injected 12 h later.The area of CNV and that of CNV leakage were calculated. ResultsRetinas from eyes injected with FITC labeled antibody exhibited good resolution of ultrastructure of RNV,while retinas from eyes injected with unlabeled antibody showed selective staining of RNV with no background,greatly facilitating identification and quantification of RNV.Merging images of stained CNV with images of fluorescein sodium leakage from CNV revealed double labeled CNV surrounded by fluorescein that had leaked into surrounding tissues.The mean area of CNV and its leakage of d14 were significantly different from those of d 7(P
