Objective To evaluate the clinical value of cardiac troponin I(cTnI) in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemic injury.Methods Twenty patients were randomly divided into two groups: group I (cold crystalloid cardioplegia, n=10) and group Ⅱ (cold blood cardioplegia, n=10). The central venous blood samples were taken at various times during perioperation to measure the serum levels of cTnI,CK MB and CK . Myocardial samples were obtained 10 min before aorta clamping and 30 min after aotra unclamping, to observe myocardial ultrastructure .Results cTnI,CK and CK MB levels were normal before operation, increased markablely following aotra unclamping ,reached the peak 1 h after aorta unclamping to 24 h after operation, and decreased progressively to be normal in two groups. The serum cTnI level was significantly lower in group Ⅱ than that in group Ⅰ 24 h and 48 h after operation. The serum CK MB activity was lower in group Ⅱ than that in group Ⅰ 1 h after aorta unclamping. There was positive significant correlation between aorta cross clamping time and cTnI peak level.Conclusions cTnI can be used to evaluate the degree of myocardial injury and myocardial protective effect in open heart surgery during CPB. As indicators for reflecting the myocardial injury, the sensitivity and specificity of cTnI are more valuable than those of myocardial enzymes.

The massive water and steam are consumed in the production of cellulose ethanol, which correspondingly results in the significant increase of energy cost, waster water discharge and production cost as well. In this study, the process strategy under extremely low water usage and high solids loading of corn stover was investigated experimentally and computationally. The novel pretreatment technology with zero waste water discharge was developed; in which a unique biodetoxification method using a kerosene fungus strain Amorphotheca resinae ZN1 to degrade the lignocellulose derived inhibitors was applied. With high solids loading of pretreated corn stover, high ethanol titer was achieved in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process, and the scale-up principles were studied. Furthermore, the flowsheet simulation of the whole process was carried out with the Aspen plus based physical database, and the integrated process developed was tested in the biorefinery mini-plant. Finally, the core technologies were applied in the cellulose ethanol demonstration plant, which paved a way for the establishment of an energy saving and environment friendly technology of lignocellulose biotransformation with industry application potential.

Objective: To investigate the mid-term outcomes of the dual mobility total hip prosthesis in primary total hip arthroplasty. Methods: A total of 101 patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty with dual mobility total hip prosthesis from May 2010 to March 2013 were enrolled in the present study with complete follow-up information. There were 56 females and 45 males with the mean age of 66.36 years (rang from 58 to 77 years). There were 35 patients with femoral neck fracture, 33 patients with femoral head necrosis, 10 patients with hip osteoarthritis, 18 patients with secondary osteoarthritis to hip dysplasia and 5 patients with ankylosing spondylitis. The dual mobility total hip prosthesis was used for all 101 patients by the posterior-lateral approach of hip joint. Harris hip score was used to evaluate the clinical effects. Radiographic analysis was also performed to evaluate the biological fixation effects of the prosthesis, dislocation of the prosthesis, osteolysis and migration of the acetabular cup. Results: The mean operation duration was 80.68±6.59 min (range from 70 to 90 min). The average blood loss during the operation was 180.67±18.76 ml (range from 150 to 200 ml). All incisions were healed at the first stage. All patients were followed up with an average of 65±3 months (range from 62 to 75 months). Harris hip score improved from 56.70±16.71 before surgery to 94.26±1.91 at the last follow-up. The differences among different follow-up times were of statistical significance. The Hip flexion and extension, adduction and abduction, and internal and external rotation improved from 86.67°±16.70°, 34.06°±7.05°, 34.53°±7.45° preoperatively to 141.73°±6.56°, 57.06°±3.83°, 75.18°±4.00° at the last follow-up, respectively. At 3 months after the operation, the X-ray showed satisfied bone integration. There were no acetabular and femoral shaft fractures, sciatic nerve, femoral artery and vein injuries during the operation, and no joint dislocation, prosthesis loosening, infection and deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs during the postoperative and follow-up duration. Conclusion The dual mobility total hip prosthesis has the advantages in good initial and middle stability, rapid bone growth, low dislocation rate and repid recovery of postoperative motion range. It is suitable for patients over 65 years old or younger patients with postoperatively high dislocation.

Objective To analyze the effect of the fracture healing by using selective sensory radicotomy before and after the ganglion.Methods From September,2014 to August,2015,120 rats were averagely divided into 3 groups,which was the sham operate group(SO),the anterior injury of ganglion rhizotomy group (AGR) and the posterior injury of ganglion rhizotomy group (PGR).Tibial transverse fracture was performed on right or left randomly and the fracture was fixed with intramedullary.In coordination with the fractured-side,the selective radicotomy from L4 to L6 was made.The mRNA level of collagen-Ⅰ and collagen-Ⅱ in bony callus was quantified at 3,7 days and 2 weeks after the operation by RT-PCR(n=5).The histological examination,X-ray,biomechanical testing were performed at 4 and 8 weeks.The quantitative data of iconography and biomechanics was acquired by using the relative ration which resulted from fractured-side data dividing the unfractured-side one for every pair tibia in same rat.Results At 3 days after surgery,the mRNA of collagen-Ⅰ were 81.3±11.1,37.5±8.2 and 24.7±9.2,the mRNA of collagen-Ⅱ were 2.4±0.5,2.1±1.0 and 2.9±1.2 in SO,AGR and PGR group respectively;At 7 days after surgery,the mRNA of collagen-Ⅰ were 17.9±5.8,7.2±1.8 and 6.7±2.4,the mRNA of collagen-Ⅱ were 12.5±3.4,2.8±1.3 and 1.2±0.4 in SO,AGR and PGR group respectively.The SO group had significantly upregulation of collagen-Ⅰ and collagen-Ⅱ mRNA compared with the AGR and PGR groups at 3 days and 7 days respectively after surgery(P＜0.05).There was a significant difference of the collagen-Ⅱ between AGR group (2.8±1.3) and PGR group (1.2±0.4) at 7 days after injury(P＜ 0.05).The fracture bony callus in PGR group was a significantly larger and less ossified than that in the AGR group.The mechanical load of fracture in SO group was larger than that of the other 2 groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Sensory denervation negatively affects fracture-healing.The ganglion of sensory nerve plays an important role in bone fracture healing and normal innervation is essential for the fracture repair.

In vitro studies have established the prevalent theory that the mitochondrial kinase PINK1 protects neurodegeneration by removing damaged mitochondria in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, difficulty in detecting endogenous PINK1 protein in rodent brains and cell lines has prevented the rigorous investigation of the in vivo role of PINK1. Here we report that PINK1 kinase form is selectively expressed in the human and monkey brains. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deficiency of PINK1 causes similar neurodegeneration in the brains of fetal and adult monkeys as well as cultured monkey neurons without affecting mitochondrial protein expression and morphology. Importantly, PINK1 mutations in the primate brain and human cells reduce protein phosphorylation that is important for neuronal function and survival. Our findings suggest that PINK1 kinase activity rather than its mitochondrial function is essential for the neuronal survival in the primate brains and that its kinase dysfunction could be involved in the pathogenesis of PD.
