BACKGROUND: Continuous passive motion assisted with diathermia will promote the restoration of joint movement of the extremities.OBJECTIVE: To improve joint movement with continuous motion assisted with diathermia after surgical treatment on simple fracture of upper or lower extremity.DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial.SETTING: Huaxi Hospital of Sichuan University.PARTICIPANTS: Eighty-four cases of simple extremity fracture treated in the Orthopedic Department of Huaxi Hospital of Sichuan University from October 2000 to July 2002 were included in this trial. Of them, 16 cases were elbow movement disorder and 68 were knee movement disorder. They were randomly assigned into two groups with 42 cases each.METHODS: The 42 cases in the treatment group were preheated before continuous passive motion while those in the control group just received continuous passive motion. The improvement of joint movement between thetwo groups were assessed and compared according to the joint movement scale.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The joint movement before and after treatment and the indices of joint movement scale in the two groups.RESULTS: All of the eighty-four cases entered the analysis. The joint movement in the treatment group was better than that in the control group [ (101.40 ± 25.76)° vs (86.14 ± 27.66)°, t = 5.25, P ＜ 0.01 ]. The index of joint movement scale in the treatment group was also higher than that of the control group[ (84.32 ± 16.54) vs(64. 89 ± 13.76) ] ( t = 4.24, P ＜ 0.01 ) ].CONCLUSION: Continuous passive motion assisted with diathermia is better than simple continuous passive motion in improving the joint movement and function of elbow and knee.

The growth of HepG 2 cells transfected with antisense IGF Ⅱ and MDP, and the subcutaneous tumors injected with antisense IGF Ⅱ and MDP were observed. Results The growth of HepG 2 cells was blocked completely, and the subcutaneous tumors disappeared in two of five nude mice. Conclusions The combination therapy of antisense IGF Ⅱ and MDP is effective in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To construct the expression vector of siRNA targeting the human protection of telomeres (hPOT1) gene for the observation of the inhibitory effect of the vector on hPOT1 gene expression in gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901, and to offer a ground work for further study on the roles of hPOT1 in growth and proliferation of gastric cancer cells. Methods 64 base-pair oligonucleotide for small interfering RNA expression targeting hPOT1 gene was designed and chemically synthesized. After annealing, double oligonucleotides were inserted into the downstream of H1 RNA promoter of pSUPER to recombine psiRNA-hPOT1 plasmids, and transiently transfected into gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 with liposome-mediated transfection after restriction enzyme and sequencing analysis. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of hPOT1 gene. Result Recombinant psiRNA-hPOT1 vector was confirmed by sequencing analysis. The results demonstrated that 64nt had been inserted into the expected site. Furthermore, the inserted sequence was exactly correct. The recombinant psiRNA-hPOT1 vector could significantly suppress the hPOT1 expression in gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. Conclusion The constructed siRNA expression vector of hPOT1 gene psiRNA-hPOT1 recombinant plasmid can block the expression of hPOT1 gene in gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.

Objective To compare the propagation speed and physical parameters between underwater blast wave and air blast wave. Methods The physical parameters of blast wave were measured by PCB pressure transducers (USA) during underwater and air explosions of 200g, 500g and 1000g TNT respectively. Consequently, the propagation speed, peak overpressure value, positive duration and impulse of blast wave were analyzed. Results Underwater blast wave was characterized by high propagation speed, high peak overpressure value, great impulse, however, short duration. Compared with air blast wave, the propagation speed of underwater blast wave was 3.70-4.30 times higher than that of air blast wave, the peak overpressure value was 227.15-247.86 times higher, and the impulse was 8.48-11.80 times greater than that of air blast wave. Conclusion Underwater blast wave propagates faster than that air blast wave. Meanwhile, it also peoduces higher peak overpressure value and impulse. This result is helpful for the evaluation of injury severity and treatment of underwater blast injury.

Objective To investigate the effect of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) technology on prevention and treatment of infection wound and to repair the infectious fracture wound in earthquake. Methods Twenty-two patients with limb fractures and open infection wound received VSD from May 12, 2008 to June 19, 2008 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University. Before the VSD, we debrided all wounds and gave effective systemic antibiotics. A -18 ～ - 14 kPa pressure was exerted to the wound, and the VSD was used for 8 ～ 10 days. We took a germiculture regularly. The capacity, color, and nature of negative pressure drainage, the regression of limb swelling, and systemic inflammatory responses were observed. Results There was no active bleeding wound or transparent film off in all patients. Three patients had drainage clogging, and were kept flowing freely using the sterile saline pipe to remove the blockage of necrotic tissues. During the VSD, granulation tissues grew well in the 13 patients with bone exposure of the wounded. Two patients whose symptom of inflammatory was not obviousy eased had another debridement to completely remove the necrosis, and the symptom was relieved. After 3-5 days of VSD, swelling and fever in the other 20 patients significantly subsided. Conclusion VSD can alleviate the wound inflammation, facilitate the growth of the fresh granulation tissue from the surrounding to the center, and reduce the flap transfer area for the Stage Ⅱ coverage of the exposed bone.

ObjectiveTo explore the ultrasound characteristics of coronary artery fistula to improve its prenatal diagnosis.MethodsImaging data for 12 fetuses with coronary artery fistula who underwent fetal echocardiography at our hospital from June 2005 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed to summarize the ultrasound characteristics of coronary artery fistula.ResultsOf the 12 fetuses, 7 were confirmed with coronary artery fistula by echocardiography after birth, and the remaining 5 were aborted due to other cardiac abnormalities (since an autopsy was not performed, the diagnosis of coronary artery fistula could not be confirmed). Of the 7 confirmed cases, 1 had left coronary artery-to-right atrium fistula, 3 had left coronary artery-to-right ventricle fistula, and 3 had right coronary artery-to-right ventricle fistula; 1 had left coronary artery-to-right ventricle fistula with muscular ventricular septal defect, and 6 had simple coronary fistula. Two-dimensional ultrasound examination revealed that coronary arteries were displayed in all cases, and the diameter ranged from 1.8 to 4.0 mm. Color Doppler ultrasound clearly showed the fistula size, course and the situation fistulas drained into heart chambers. Diastolic regurgitation signal could be detected in the ascending aorta and aortic arch.ConclusionCoronary artery fistula can be diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound combined with spectral Doppler ultrasound when the fetal coronary artery expands.

Objective To evaluate the significance of homocysteine(HCY)and color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI)in the diagnosis and treatment of the renal damage in hypertension.Methods Seventy-two patients were divided into 3 groups according to the indicators of renal damage of hypertension.HCY in blood and the parameters of three grades renal artery with CDFI were measured and compared with 20 controls.Besides these，the relationship between HCY and resistant index(RI)of interlobar renal artery (IRA)was also analysed.Results①The level of HCY in hypertension was much more higher than the level in controls.HCY increased with the damage of renal function，and there were significant differences between different groups(P＜0.05).②The Vmax and Vmin were slower gradually，but PI and RI were higher with the severity of the renal damage(P＜0.01).③HCY were positive correlation with IRNs RI(r=0，35，P＜0.0 1).Conclusions The changes of CDFI can reflect the conditions of renal blood flow，it is possible to know renal blood flow by measuring RI of IRA.The level of HCY will increase gradually with the degression of renal function，it iS useful to evaluate the renal damage.The measurement of CDFI for hypertensive patients is valuable not only for the evaluations of their renal function but also for the severity of hyperhomocysteinemal and their therapy condition.

Objective:To investigate Intraflagellar Transport 80 (IFT80) protein expression in bone, lung, pancreatic, stomach, in-testinal, prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers to explore its mechanism in cancer cell proliferation and to diagnose and identify new tar-gets in cancer treatment. Methods:Immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the expression of IFT80 in gastric cancer tissue of different stages and in eight other kinds of human cancer tissues. We studied the relationship between cancer cell proliferation and inhi-bition of IFT80. Immunofluorescence method and cell culture were used to study the cilia and IFT80. Results:Results showed the fol-lowing:a) the expression of IFT80 was high in gastric and lung carcinoma tissues, moderate in breast and colorectal cancers, low in bone and ovarian cancers, and nearly absent in prostate and pancreatic cancers;b) inhibition of IFT80 in the A549 cancer cell line accel-erated cell proliferation and resulted in shorter, lower quality cilia;and c) IFT80 was abundantly expressed in cancer tissues of well-dif-ferentiated stage-IIA gastric cancer and normal gastric tissues, but was hardly expressed in late-stage, poorly differentiated gastric can-cer. IFT80 could have various degrees of expression in gastric carcinoma of other stages and differentiation. Conclusions:Different can-cer organs showed variation in IFT80 expression. IFT80 can be distributed in the organs with mechanical motion function, such as lungs and stomach. IFT80 is distributed on the cell cilia and can adjust the number and length of the cilia by reducing IFT80 protein ex-pression. Through a variety of ways, IFT80 directly or indirectly participates in the proliferation of cancer cells. Thus, the lowest or nearly zero expression of IFT80 can be seen in cancer tissues of high-grade malignancy, such as advanced cancers with poor differentia-tion.
