Objective To compare the knee function in patients with intraoperative medial collateral ligament(MCL)injury treated with or with?out increased prosthetic constraint. Methods The records of 19 cases who encountered with iatrogenic injury to the MCL during total knee arthro?plasty(TKA)between January 2005 and December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Eight patients(LCCK group)were treated with increased prosthetic constraint;the remaining 11 patients(LPS group)received increased prosthetic constraint between January 2005 and December 2010 served as controls. The MCL was repaired after TKA. The complications were observed after operation. Knee society scores(KSS)subjective knee scores were used to assess the knee function. No patient was lost for follow?up. The mean follow?up was 5 years. Results Until last follow?up(60 months),The KSS subjective score was 87.4 for LCCK group compared with 93.3 for the LPS group. No revisions for knee instability were per?formed in the 11 patients treated with non?prosthetic constraint;however,2 patients treated with increased prosthetic constraint were revised due to joint loosening. Conclusion The MCL tear should be repaired during TKA;the type of the prosthesis should not be increased when MCL injury is recognized during TKA.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the role of the SIRT1/NF-κB pathway in mediating the effect of puerarin against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI).
METHODS:
Fifteen BALB/C mice were randomized into control group, LPS group and puerarin treatment group, and in the latter two groups, the mice were given an intraperitoneal injection of LPS (5 mg/kg), followed by daily injection of normal saline for 3 days or injection of puerarin (25 mg/kg) given 1 h later and then on a daily basis for 3 days. On day 5 after modeling, the kidney tissues were taken for histological observation and detection of cell apoptosis. The renal function indexes including urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) were measured, and the expressions of SIRT1 and NF-κB-p65(acetyl K310) in the renal tissues were detected.
RESULTS:
Intraperitoneal injection of LPS caused obvious glomerular capillary dilatation, hyperemia, renal interstitial edema, and renal tubular epithelial cell swelling and deformation in the mice. The mouse models of LPS-induced AKI also showed significantly increased renal tubular injury score and renal cell apoptosis (P < 0.01) with increased serum levels of BUN, Scr, KIM-1, TNF-α and IL-1β (P < 0.01), enhanced renal expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β and NF-κB p65(acetyl K310) (P < 0.01) and lowered renal expression of SIRT1 (P < 0.05). Treatment with puerarin effectively alleviated LPS-induced renal interstitial edema and renal tubular epithelial cell shedding, lowered renal tubular injury score (P < 0.01) and renal cell apoptosis rate (P < 0.01), and decreased serum levels of BUN, Scr, KIM, TNF-α and IL-1β (P < 0.01). Puerarin treatment significantly reduced TNF-α, IL-1β and NF-κB p65 (acetyl K310) expression in the renal tissue (P < 0.05) and increased SIRT1 expression by 17% (P < 0.05) in the mouse models.
CONCLUSION
Puerarin can effectively alleviate LPS-induced AKI in mice possibly by modulating the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To determine the affinities of five oligopeptides specifically binding with DNA binding domain of NF-?B p65 subunit and identify their inhibiting effect on DNA binding activity of NF-?B. Methods By using biosensor the affinities were measured by means of kinetic analysis, and the inhibiting effects were determined by competitive ELISA. Results The results of biosensor showed that all of five oligopeptides really possessed the capability of specific interacting with NF-?B p65 subunit. The affinity constants of these oligopeptides were 2.67?10~ -7 mol/L, 9.02?10~ -6 mol/L, 1.07?10~ -6 mol/L, 8.03?10~ -6 mol/L, 9.83?10~ -7 mol/L respectively. The results of competitive ELISA indicated that five oligopeptides could inhibit NF-?B from binding with ?B motif, and their inhibiting effect depended on their concentration. Conclusion Five oligopeptides that were screened by yeast two-hybrid system method can really interact with p65, and possess the inhibiting effect on DNA binding activity of NF-?B. So it will be possible that these oligopeptides are regarded as model to design and develop novel anti-inflammatory peptide drug targeting NF-?B.

This paper presents a three-dimensional electronic laparoscopy system, including three-dimensional laparoscope pipe and medical video system. The three-dimensional laparoscope pipe adopts a dual-optical structure, which can collect three-dimensional information of the surgical region. By selecting a reasonable initial structure, the MTF curve of the objective lens is close to the diffraction limit, and the distortion is less than 25%. The medical video system also achieved high-definition image with 1 080 P, 30 Hz by GPU. At the mean time, the three-dimensional electronic laparoscope has achieved quantitative production and has been tested in a number of animals, which has broad application prospects and significant clinical application value.

In response to the problem that the traditional lower limb rehabilitation scale assessment method is time-consuming and difficult to use in exoskeleton rehabilitation training, this paper proposes a quantitative assessment method for lower limb walking ability based on lower limb exoskeleton robot training with multimodal synergistic information fusion. The method significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of the rehabilitation assessment process by introducing quantitative synergistic indicators fusing electrophysiological and kinematic level information. First, electromyographic and kinematic data of the lower extremity were collected from subjects trained to walk wearing an exoskeleton. Then, based on muscle synergy theory, a synergistic quantification algorithm was used to construct synergistic index features of electromyography and kinematics. Finally, the electrophysiological and kinematic level information was fused to build a modal feature fusion model and output the lower limb motor function score. The experimental results showed that the correlation coefficients of the constructed synergistic features of electromyography and kinematics with the clinical scale were 0.799 and 0.825, respectively. The results of the fused synergistic features in the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) model yielded higher correlation coefficients ( r = 0.921, P < 0.01). This method can modify the rehabilitation training mode of the exoskeleton robot according to the assessment results, which provides a basis for the synchronized assessment-training mode of "human in the loop" and provides a potential method for remote rehabilitation training and assessment of the lower extremity.
