Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 2015;17(2):165-169
Objective To characterize the medial femoral circumflex artery based on three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography (3DCTA) so as to provide anatomical aids for diagnosis and treatment of hip injuries.Methods To do this research the 3DCTA data of 103 patients (206 hips) were collected who underwent 3DCTA from March 2012 to June 2014 for examination of the pelvis and lower extremities.They were 55 men (mean age,54.7 ± 15.9 years) and 48 women (50.0 ± 16.1 years).① The origin and course of the medial femoral circumflex artery was observed.② The length of the artery trunk was measured.The distances between the origin(A) of the artery to the main anatomical marks [the peak of greater trochanter (B),the inward peak of lesser trochanter (C),and the crosspoint (D) of the femoral artery and the pubic edge or the acetabulum inlet edge] were measured.Comparisons of the measurements were conducted between genders.③ The distance between point A and point E,the starting point of the femoral profound artery,was measured.Comparisons of the measurements were conducted between genders.Results 2.9% (3/103) of the subjects had their bilateral medial femoral circumflex arteries originate from the femoral artery,94.2% (97/103) had their bilateral medial femoral circumflex arteries originate from the femoral profound artery,and 2.9% (3/103) had one medial femoral circumflex artery originate from the femoral artery and the other from the femoral profound artery.1.9% (4/206),76.7% (158/206) and 21.3% (44/206) of the subjects had the artery of screw type,of circuitous type and of straight type,respectively.The artery trunk goes posteriorly and medially after it is issued,divides into branches along the course,continues to go around the back of the femoral neck,and finally goes to the outward and upper direction.There were no statistical differences between males and females regarding length of the artery trunk,or distances between points AB,AC,AD or AE (P > 0.05).Conclusion Since 3DCTA can clearly demonstrate the origin,course and anatomical morphology of the medial femoral circumflex artery,it can be used to provide anatomical aids for clinical evaluation and treatment of hip injury.

Objective To observe the expression of protein kinase C(PKC)isoforms in pulmonary artery of chronic inflammatory pulmonary hypertension(PHT)rats.Methods Chronic inflammatory PHT model rats were established induced by monocrotaline(MCT).Western blotting analysis was used to detect the expression of four PKC isoforms(PKC?,PKC?Ⅱ,PKC? and PKC?)in pulmonary arteries of rats during the development of PHT.Results The values of mean pulmonary artery pressure and right ventricular hypertrophy index increased significantly after the injection of MCT,which suggested successful formation of PHT.Western blotting analysis showed that PKC?,PKC?Ⅱ and PKC? isoforms were presented in pulmonary arteries of normal and PHT rats,while PKC? isoform was not detected.The expressions of PKC? in both cytosolic and membranous fractions increased within 14 days,and decreased a little during the development of PHT.But the increase of PKC? in cytosolic fraction was much more obvious than that in membranous fraction.The highest expression of both PKC?Ⅱ and PKC? in cytosolic fractions appeared at the eighth day,while the expression of both isoforms in membranous fraction went up continuously.Conclusions PKC?,PKC?Ⅱ and PKC? isoforms were involved in the development of chronic inflammatory PHT.The changes of their expression might be the results of PKC isoforms translocation which is related to the proliferation regulation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of cognitive changes in type 2 diabetes mellitus pa-tients complicated with stroke. Methods One hundred and one stroke patients were recruited and allocated to thetype 2 diabetes mellitus group (34 patients) and sixty-seven patients in the control group (67 patients) according tobeing with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus. All the patients were evaluated, after 3 weeks, 6 months and 12months of onset of stroke, with regard to their cognitive functions by using the Mini-mental State Examination(MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). Results Average scores obtained in MMSE and MOCAtests were significantly lower at 3 weeks and 6 months after onset in the type 2 diabetes mellitus group when comparingwith control group. In the type 2 diabetes mellitus group, no significant difference was observed between 3 weeks and6 months after onset of stroke with regard to scores of MMSE and MOCA ( P > 0.05 ), however, the score at 6 monthswas significantly lower than that at 12 months after onset (P <0.05). On the other hand, scores of MMSE (P >0.05 ) and MOCA (P > 0.05 ) in the control group were not any statistically different among various time points ofobservation. Conclusion Type 2 diabetes mellitus will aggravate cognitive dysfunctions of stroke patients, whichstarted to recover in 6 months of onset of the stroke.

4 ng/ml and/or with prostate nodule found on DRE or TRUS . Methods 197 patients suspected of prostate carcinoma underwent ultrasound guided sextant biopsy and 2~4 more cores in the nodule. Four patients whose initial biopsy was negative but subsequent PSA levels were continuously abnormal underwent repeated biopsies. Results Of the 107 cases with prostate nodules,in 34(31.8%) of them prostate cancer was detected,while in 90 cases without a prostate nodule, only 11(12.2%) were positive. Stratified analysis on PSA found that the higher the PSA, the higher the positive biopsy rate of prostate carcinoma. In the 4 cases with repeated biopsies, 1 prostate cancer was detected. Conclusions For patients with prostate nodule and/or PSA over 4 ng/ml,systematic biopsy should be taken, with 2 or more cores toward the nodule.In the patients with continuous high PSA levels,if the first biopsy is negative, rebiopsy should be taken.
