OBJECTIVE: Intraocular lens are applied in trigeminal operations of cataract extraction and comeal transplantation, and the selection of artificial lens is modified. This paper evaluated the application of colodzed polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) intraocular lens in interlaced non-phacoemulsification cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation and keratoplasty (trigeminal operation).METHODS: A computer-based online search of CNKI (200312007) and Medline database (1974/2004) was performed for related articles with the key words "colorized intraocular lens, corneal transplantation, cataract, combination operation" in Chinese and "PMMA intraocular lens, cataract extraction, corneal transplantation" in English. Articles related to PMMA intraocular lens in cataract and corneal transplantation trigeminal operation was selected. Meta analysis and repetitive articles were excluded. A total of 11 articles were included and summarized.RESULTS: A total of 21 cases (21 eyes) of corneal leukoma and cataract caused by various trauma or ophthalmopathy underwent colorized PMMA intraocular lens implantation. During the follow-up for 10 months, visual acuities of naked eyes in 92% cases were significantly improved. Two weeks after operations, visual acuities of 9 cases (42.9%) were over 4.7, 10 cases over 4.5, and 2 cases (9.5%) over 4.0. At days 7 to 14 after operation, corneal grafts of 21 cases were completely transparent; 10 months after operation, corneal grafts of 16 cases were completely transparent, 3 cases were semitransparent, and 2 cases were turbid, who underwent second penetrable corneal transplantation.CONCLUSION: The application of colodzed PMMA intraocular lens in penetrable corneal transplantation combined cataract extraction can cure the refracting media turbidity of forepart eye. Compared with traditional operations, trigeminal operation reduces complications, increases safety and improves visual acuity.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction under arthroscopy and repair of the injured posteromedial complex structure of the knee joint in the treatment of posterolateral knee dislocation with multiple ligament injuries.

METHODSFrom March 2008 to August 2012,22 patients (16 males and 6 females, ranging in age from 20 to 53 years old, with an average of 30.5 years old) with posterolateral dislocation of the knee were treated with primary reconstruction of ACL and PCL, combined with the repair of injuries in the posteromedial complex and soft-tissue. Eight patients had injuries caused by sports,5 patients road accidents and 9 patients falling down. The ACL was reconstructed using the gracilis and semitendinosus tendons. The PCL was reconstructed using LARS artificial ligaments (14 cases), or gracilis and semitendinosus tendons (8 cases). Suture repair was performed in 17 patients with posteromedial ligament injuries,and self-semitendinosus strengthening operations were performed in 5 patients. Continuouspassive montion (CPM) and active exercises were executed after operation at early stage. The IKDC and Lysholm system were used to evaluate therapeutic effects.

RESULTSAll the patients were regularly followed up, and the duration ranged from 11 to 56 months (averaged, 39 months). According to the IKDC scale,9 patients got a grade A result, 10 got a grade B result, and 3 got a grade C result. The IKDC subject score was 89.6±3.1 and the Lysholm scores was 90.7±1.8 at the latest follow-up, which were both better than those before operation.

CONCLUSIONReconstructing the ACL and PCL and repairing injured posteromedial complex of the knee followed by an active rehabilitation is an effective method to treat posterolateral knee dislocation.

Background:Inflammatory bowel disease( IBD)is a group of chronic and non-specific intestinal inflammatory diseases of undetermined origin. Functional impairment of macrophages has been associated with the dysregulation of mucosal immunity in intestinal tract of patients with IBD. Aims:To investigate the correlation of serum levels of macrophage polarization-related cytokines with the development and disease activity of IBD. Methods:A total of 105 IBD patients admitted from May 2013 to May 2014 at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital were recruited,of them 65 were Crohn’s disease (CD)and 40 were ulcerative colitis( UC). Twenty-four patients with colonic polyps were served as controls. Serum samples were obtained and the levels of interleukin-1beta(IL-1β),IL-6,IL-10,IL-13,interferon-gamma(IFN-γ)and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)were determined by ELISA method. Results:Serum levels of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10, IL-13 and IFN-γ were significantly higher in CD group than in control group(P < 0. 05),and serum levels of IL-10,IL-13 and IFN-γ were significantly higher in UC group than in control group(P < 0. 05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that serum IL-13(OR = 1. 009,P = 0. 005)and iNOS( OR = 0. 982,P = 0. 013)were correlated with CD,while Spearman correlation coefficient demonstrated a link between serum IL-10 and disease activity of CD(rs = - 0. 432,P =0. 014). No correlations were observed between serum levels of these cytokines and development and disease activity of UC (P > 0. 05). Conclusions:Serum levels of macrophage polarization-related cytokines increase to varying degrees in IBD patients,but these cytokines have no obvious correlations with IBD and its disease activity. Presumably,theses cytokines are only involved in but not the triggers in the development of IBD.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncutre at Tianzhu point on the expressions of bcl-2 and bcl-XL in the degenerative cervical intervertebral disc of rats. Methods: Forty SD male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, sham surgery group, model group, Western medicine group and electroacupuncture group, there were 10 rats in each group. Except for rats in the sham surgery group, rats in the other groups were made to be of cervical intervertebral disc degeneration by unbalanced dynamic and static forces. Rats in the electroacupunture group were treated with electroacupuncture at Tianzhu (BL 10) and Dazhu (BL 11) points, while rats in the Western medicine group with Fenbid, and rats in the model group were not treated. After 30-day treatments, the expressions of bcl-2 and bci-XL were observed with immunohisto-chemical method in the cervical intervertebral disc. Results: The expression of bcl-2 was higher in the electroacupuncture, sham surgery, and western medicine groups than that in the model group (P<0.01), whereas, there was no difference among these three groups. The expression of bcl-XL in the electroacupuncture group was lower than that in the sham surgery group (P<0.01), and higher than those in the Western medicine group and model group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Electroacupuncture treatment can enhance the expressions of bcl-2 and bcl-XL, which may be the mechanism of delaying the cell apoptosis in the intervertebral disc to treat diseases.

BACKGROUND: A large amount of in vivo and in vitro experiments have confirmed that, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been widely utilized in various tissues and cells, it can facilitate the wound healing.OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy and feasibility of gene gun-mediate delivery of human bFGF on the healing of deep partial thickness bum wounds.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized design,an observational trial was performed at the Military Central Laboratory of Changhai Hospital in the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between December 2007 and October 2008.MATERIALS: SD rats of clean grade, weighing 200-250 g, irrespective of genders, ware involved in this study.METHODS: Natural human bFGF gene was recombined and optimized, then eukaryotic expression vector pCI-neo-bFGF was constructed taking pCI-neo as a vector, and transfeoted with human embryonic kidney cells 293 T cells. Dot blot and Western blot methods were utilized to determine the bFGF expression. Rat model of deep partial thickness burn wounds was processed into transgene process using gene gun technique, pCI-neo-bFGF-transfected ones served as experiment group while pCI-neo-transfected ones served as controls.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Wound healing time was recorded and the efficacy was evaluated. The contents of hydroxyproline and collaganase Ⅰ in burn wound tissues were determined at 24 hours, 48 hours, 96 hours, 7 days, 10 days and 14 days following transgene process.RESULTS: the recombinant pCI-neo-bFGF was transfected with human embryonic kidney 293T cells. Dot blot and Western blot analysis have showed that, the constructed pCI-neo-bFGF expression vector could express human bFGF, and the expression of synthesized gene was remarkably higher than that of natural gene under fluorescence microscope; gene gun-mediated transgene experiment have showed that, the wound healing time was (13.00+1.31) days in the experiment group and (14.75±1.28) days in the control group, with significant differences (P＜0.05). The contents of hydroxyproline and collagenase Ⅰ reached a peak at 5 days after the injury, that is 48 hours after transfection, and then gradually decreased and maintained at a certain level. The experiment group had higher hydroxyproline levels compared with control group at different time points (P＜0.05, P＜0.01); the collagenase Ⅰ in the experiment group was notably higher than that in the control group at 48 hours and 96 hours after transfection (P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: Gene gun-mediated delivery of human bFGF can short the time of wound healing, increase the contents of hydroxyproline and collagenase Ⅰ during the healing period, accelerate the healing of deep partial thickness burn wounds.
