BACKGROUND:The increase of serum cholesterol levels is positively correlated with the increasing incidence of osteoarthritis. Little is known about the role of high-fat diet in the degeneration of articular cartilage and induced arthritis.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the morphology change of the articular cartilage of New Zealand rabbits after high-fat diet, and explore the role of food in the articular cartilage degeneration.
METHODS:Forty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. In control group, rabbits were fed with basal diet. In high-fat diet group, rabbits were fed with high-fat diet (20%lard and 80%basal diet). Fasting blood samples was taken every 4 weeks, to detect the triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. After rabbit were fed for 28 weeks, the knee joint was grossly observed and the femoral condyle cartilage was scanned by scanning electron microscope.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were significantly increased in the high fat group (P<0.05). Under scanning electron microscope, the high-fat group showed rough surface of condylar cartilage, shal ow pouch, messy arrangement, irregular shape and uneven size. The surface of cartilage exhibited focal denudation, irregular arrangement, uneven porosity and fractured cavity. Under higher magnification, smal mountain-like structure of cartilage surface became shal ow and flattened, the pores disappeared. Long-term high-fat diet may induce and aggravate cartilage damage, suggesting it may be involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.

Objective To discuss the prenatal diagnosis of abnormalities of fetal limb bone.Methods We selected 18 cases which long bone of fetus less than 2SD of average volume of gestational weeks or long bone changed into angle or other fetus's abnormalities by first B-mode ultrasonic. All above cases was delivered at Capital Medical University of Obstetric and Gynecological Hospital during Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2009. We B-mode ultrasonic was used to measure fetus's biparietal diameter (BPD) ,femur length (FL) ,abdominal circumference(AC) ,head circumference(HC) ,humerus length (HL) ,amniotic fluid index (AFI) and structures of organ and calculated FL/AC, growth speed of long bone. The standard of achondroplasia is that FL and HL are less than 4SD of average of gestational weeks or FL/AC less than 0. 16. The standard of Osteogenesis Imperfecta is fetal long bone of fetus shows short and thick, curves into angle, fracture in uterus by X-ray, or skull shows thin or sink by X-ray. Results (1) By B-mode ultrasonic and X-ray exam of all 18 cases: 7 cases shows that HC ＞2SD, 10 cases shows too much amniotic fluid, 12 cases shows AFI ＞ 18.0, 9 cases shows abnormalities of narrow cavitas thoracis, disordered vertebral column, or unusual architecture of heart. For cases 1 to 14 are achondroplasia, among which,11 cases are FL＜4SD and HL＜4SD, 2 cases are FL ＜3SD and HL ＜4SD, 1 case is not only FL ＜2SD and HL ＜3SD but also hydroncus all over the body of fetus. The growth velocity of long bone of fetus in all the 14 cases is more slowly than the normal rate. For all the above 14 cases, 12 cases FL/AC ＜0. 16, 1 case FL/AC =0. 19, 1 case FL/AC =0. 20. The length of femur or humerus is shorter than the normal rate and have other abnormalities the above last two cases. For case 15 and 16, they don't show any abnormalities of bone growth though one year's follow up studying. For case 17 and 18, they are osteogenesis imperfecta. (2) The result of fetal perinatal period fate and autopsy: there are 8 female and 10 male in all the 18 cases. One case is labored after 39 weeks pregnancy, and it is low birth weight infant, weight ＜3%th. All the other cases are normally birth weight infant. All the 18 cases of abnormalities of fetal limb bone are examined by chromosomes check, among which, 9 cases are amniocentesis, 7 cases are cordocentesis,2 cases are checked chromosomes by fetus cord blood, all the caryotype are normal. In the 16 autopsy cases,14 cases are achondroplasia or hypochondroplasis. It can be seen amplifying extremities, hyperplasia chondrocytes of tubiform born, karyomegaly, anachromasis, hyperplasia capillaries though microscope and grow up into cartilage irregularly. Also can be seen hyperplasia chondrocytes of epiphyses, delaying osteosis.2 cases are osteogenesis imperfecta. It can be seen broadening of metaphyses, exility of bone trabeculae. For the other two cases which the fetus is alive, we do the follow up studying to their one year old one of them is low birth weight new born, their limb and height are all normal. Conclusions To diagnose fetal Achondroplasia, it is not only based on the significantly shorter of femur or humerus length but also based on the dynamics observing the long bone growth velocity and calculating FL/AC. For osteogenesis imperfecta fetus, it should be diagnosed by fractures in uterus though X-ray.

Objective To explore the clinical value of helical CT surface shaded display (SSD) and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images in diagnosing the acetabular fractures. Methods According to the anatomical basis of "Y" type cartilage in children acetabulum, adult acetabulum was divided into "two columns" the anterior and posterior column and "four walls"the anterior, posterior, medial and roof walls, so as to define the localization, type, interface and union of fractures accurately. Results From 1999 to 2001, 68 cases of acetabluar fractures were reviewed. Of 68 cases, 28 cases were diagnosed as complex double columns and three walls (anterior, posterior and interior wall respectively) fracture, 7 cases as complex single column (anterior column) and three walls (anterior, posterior and interior wall) fracture, 5 as complex single column (anterior column) and two walls (anterior and interior wall) fracture, 21 as simple posterior wall fracture, 7 as simple anterior wall. In this group, 21 complex double columns and three walls fractures, 7 complex single column and three walls fractures, 5 complex single column and two walls fractures, 15 simple posterior wall fractures, 3 simple anterior wall fractures had reduction and internal fixed with plates or absorbable screws; another 7 complex double columns and three walls fractures, 6 simple posterior wall fractures, 4 simple anterior wall fractures were treated with traction reduction because the separation and displacement of their fragments were not significant. Using ?2 statistical analysis,there was a significant difference between the X-ray film and SSD and MPR in demonstrating the numbers and types. Conclusion SSD and MPR reconstruction imagines are of instructive importance in sufficient evaluation, operative preparation and appropriate instrumentation of internal fixation. In the management of acbtabular fracture, plates are needed to stabilize the fracture involved the anterior or posterior column, while the fragments of anterior or posterior wall are only fixed with screws, small fragments could be removed in order to avoid forming loose body. Therefore, SSD and MPR are the regular and important method in preoperative examination of complex acetabular fracture and dislocation.

BACKGROUND:The physical properties of macromolecule ocular prosthesis materials, such as density, hardness, mechanical strength, can affect the working accuracy of ocular prosthesis and can also affect the surface roughness of ocular prosthesis, thus affecting the comfort when the patients wear.
OBJECTIVE:To study the differences of different macromolecule ocular prosthesis materials in bubble generation rate, hardness and surface roughness.
METHODS:Thirty-seven test pieces, 30 mm×30 mm×2 mm, were made and then divided to seven groups according to their brands, caled groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G, each group of five pieces. One surface of each test piece was polished in accordance with the principle of coarse to fine, the surface roughness of the two surfaces and hardness on the polished surface were measured, and then the bubble formation rate of the material was calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The surface roughness values of groups A-G were (0.078±0.016), (0.074±0.019), (0.075±0.022), (0.066±0.020), (0.075±0.017), (0.068±0.015), and (0.067±0.017) μm, respectively. There was no significant difference in the surface roughness between the groups (P > 0.05). The hardness values of groups A-G were 766.92±3.71, 771.84±14.51, 791.20±9.64, 804.50±4.49, 779.00±17.92, 772.20±19.18, 704.00±7.23, respectively. There was a significant difference in the hardness between groups D, G and the other groups (P < 0.05) as wel as between group D and group G (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the other groups (P > 0.05). The bubble generation rates of groups A-G were (8.87±0.29)%, (8.29±1.02)%, (6.94±0.43)%, (4.83±0.20)%, (7.59±0.19)%, (8.61±0.25)%, (4.89±0.17)%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the bubble generation rate between groups D, G and the other groups (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between group D and group G (P > 0.05), as wel as between the other groups (P > 0.05). To a certain extent, the smaler the bubble formation rate is, the greater the hardness and the smaler the surface roughness are.
