Objective:To describe the clinical results of a one-stage operation for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and a posterolateral corner reconstruction of popliteus tendon reconstruction,com-pared with an open popliteofibular ligament reconstruction.Methods:Our study included 33 patients who had undergone posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with use of an achilles tendon-bone allograft and posterolateral corner reconstruction with arthroscopic anatomical reconstruction of popliteus tendon or open reconstruction of popliteofibular ligament.The patients were assessed for knee instability with use of the dial test at 30°and 90°,together with posterior stress radiography and KT-1000 measurement.Re-sults:The mean time of follow-up was more than 2 years.At the final follow-up evaluation,the tibial posterior translation as measured by stress radiography at 90°of knee flexion,the anterior-posterior trans-lation as measured by KT-1000,and the external rotation of tibia as measured by dial test were reduced postoperatively (P<0.001 )in both groups.Between the two groups,the preoperative tibial posterior translation as measured by stress radiography and the preoperative mean anterior-posterior translation as measured by KT-1000 in the popliteofibular ligament group were a little more than those in the popliteus tendon group (P=0.014,P<0.001).But the other comparisons were not significantly different (P>0.05).The final flexion losses were 3.33°±4.88°and 3.06°±3.38°for the two groups.Conclusion:Combined with posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,anatomical posterolateral corner reconstruc-tion of the popliteus tendon and open reconstruction of popliteofibular ligament showed similar out-comes.This study demonstrated that both posterolateral corner reconstruction techniques were a reliable alternative method in addressing posterolateral corner and posterior cruciate ligament insufficiency of the knee.

Objective To investigate the expression of Notchl and NUMB in gastric cancer and explore the relationship between two genes and clinicopathologic features. Methods The mRNA and protein expressions of Notchl and NUMB in the gastric cancer tissues and normal gastric tissues were determined by realtime PCR and Western blotting. Results The mRNA expression of Notchl in gastric cancer tissues was 1.67times that of Notchl in normal gastric tissues. The increase of the mRNA expression of Notchl was correlated with tumor differentiation and lymph node metastatis of the patients ( P < 0. 05 ). The mRNA expression of NUMB in gastric cancer tissues was 0.597 times that of Notchl in normal tissues. The decrease of the mRNA expression of NUMB was correlated with tumor differentiation of the patients (P < 0.05). The expression of Notchl was negatively correlated to that of NUMB ( r = - 0.459, P < 0.05 ). The protein expression of Notchl in gastric cancer tissues was (0. 348 ±0. 133) , which was significantly higher than (0. 208 ±0. 140) in normal gastric tissues (P < 0.05 ). The protein expression of NUMB in gastric cancer tissues was (0.490 ±0.440), which was significantly lower than 0.746 ±0.390 in normal gastric tissues (P<0.05).Conclusion Up-regulation of Notchl and down-regulation of NUMB may play an important role in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer.
