Objective To compare of the effect of intravenous zoledronic acid and calcitonin on the elderly with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures.Methods From June 2009 to November 2012,610 patients with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures were treated with closed reduction and internal fixation.543 consecutive patients were grouped sequentially according to the admission time.From June 2009 to April 2011,control group (n=325)received calcitonin for osteoporosis (male 107,female 218,mean age 75.02±5.65 years).The number of Evans-Jensen type Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ type patients were 87,136,and 102,respectively.Average lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) and hip BMD were 0.737±0.08 g/cm2 and 0.725±0.05 g/cm2,respectively.From May 2011 to November 2012,218 patients (male 82,female 136,mean age 74.71±5.32 years) received zoledronic acid for osteoporosis.The number of Evans-Jensen type Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ type patient were 62,91 and 65,respectively.Average lumbar BMD and hip BMD were 0.738±0.05 g/cm2 and 0.722±0.06 g/cm2,respectively.All patients received once-yearly intravenous zoledronic acid in one week after operation.The BMD during hospitalization and one year after operation were compared between the two groups.Harris score and VAS score were applied to evaluate the function and pain degree of the operated hip joint.Results The average follow-up time were 12.8 months (range,5 to 22 months) in control group and 12.5 months (range,4 to 19 months) in treatment group.The average fracture union time,Harris score,VAS score were 14.25±1.38 weeks,68.88±5.71 points,and 0.36±0.55 points respectively in treatment group and 14.39± 1.12 weeks,69.47±4.60 points,and 0.33±0.48 points respectively in control group.There were no statistical differences between two groups in fracture union time,Harris score and VAS score.The average lumbar BMD and hip BMD were 0.76±0.06 g/cm2 and 0.75±0.04 g/cm2 in treatment group,which were 0.75±0.07 g/cm2 and 0.74± 0.07 g/cm2 in control group one year after operation,respectively.Compared with the baseline,the BMD of lumbar spine and hip one year after operation slightly increased without statistically significant difference in control group.The BMD increased significantly in treatment group.Conclusion Early administration of intravenous zoledronic acid does not influence bone healing and it could increase BMD one year after closed reduction and internal fixation.

Objective To analysis and determine the possibility of the Citellus undulatus infected with Yersinia pestis surviving the winter in an experimental study, and to provide scientific experimental basis for the study on the mechanism of Yersinia pestis preservation. Method In 2006,09 to 2007,04 and 2007,09 to 2008,04 in Xinjiang Wusu-Gurtu natural foci of plague, under natural conditions, the over the winter process of Citellus undulatus carrying the plague bacteria was simulated, and 178 Citellus undulatus were infected with Yersinia pestis (1×107 Bacteria/mouse) using artificial injection method. One hundred seventy-eight Citellus undulatus infected with Yersinia pestis were kept into a construction of the black (1-5 ℃) basement (2 meters under the ground) in the plague focus. In doing so, these Citellus undulatuses almost simultaneously stepped into hibernation. After waking up from hibernation in following year in April, the survived mice carrying the plague bacteria were observed. Results Sixty-eight mice survived among the 178 infected with Yersinia pestis after 6 months of hibernation (through October to the following year in April), and the remaining 110 were all dead without pulling through the hibernation period. The survival rate was 38.2% (68/178). The organ culture of Yersinia pestis of the 110 dead mice(Citellus undnlatus) were tested, 67 were negative(-), 43 positive(+), with a positive rate of 39.1%(43/110). Among the rats with positive plague bacteria, the congestive pulmonary edema and the pathological changes of the hemorrhagic inflammation of the heart, liver, spleen, kidney and injection site could be seen clearly; the plague-free mice were not found to have any pathological changes. The survived 68 mice over the winter were autopsied and observed after being fed up for 20 days. No any pathological changes were found among these mice, and culturing of Yersinia pestis of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and the tissue of injection site of these mice were all negative (-). Conclusions Citellus undulatus can carry Yersinia pestis during hibernation, but some fail to carry the bacteria through the entire process of hibernation persistently. Yersinia pestis was negative in the survived mice at the end of hibernation. The results showed that Citellus undulatus can not carry Yersinia pestis over the winter.

BACKGROUNDRemodeling of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft usually takes longer than expected. Gene therapy offers a radical different approach to remodeling of the graft. In this study, the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) sequence was used to construct a new recombinant adenovirus which permits co-expression of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGFbeta1) and vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (VEGF165) genes (named Ad-VEGF165-IRES-TGFbeta1). We investigated the effects of the new adenovirus on the migration of and matrix synthesis by ACL fibroblasts.

METHODSAdenoviral vector containing TGFbeta1 and VEGF165 genes was constructed. ACL fibroblasts were obtained from New Zealand white rabbits. After ACL fibroblasts were exposed to Ad-VEGF165-IRES-TGFbeta1, the expression of VEGF165 and TGFbeta1 proteins were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting analysis. Bioassay of VEGF165 and TGFbeta1 proteins were assessed by Western blotting analysis. Proliferation and migration of ACL fibroblasts were assessed by in vitro wound closure assay. Gene expression of collagen type I, collagen type III, and fibronectin mRNA among matrix markers were assessed by real-time PCR.

RESULTSThe results showed the successful construction of a recombinant co-expression adenovirus vector containing TGFbeta1 and VEGF165 genes. Co-expression of TGFbeta1 and VEGF165 can induce relatively rapid and continuous proliferation of ACL fibroblasts and high gene expression of collagen type I, collagen type III, and fibronectin mRNA among matrix markers.

CONCLUSIONCo-expression of TGFbeta1 and VEGF165 genes has more powerful and efficient effects on the migration of and matrix synthesis by ACL fibroblasts.

OBJECTIVETo investigate chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients infected with the antiviral-resistant rtA181 mutation hepatitis B virus (HBV) who have been unresponsive to general therapy to determine the effects of individualized therapy.

METHODSFifty-four patients with confirmed rtA181 mutation and who experienced virological breakthrough during nucleus(t)ide analogue (NUC) treatment were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Their serum levels of HBV DNA, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and alanine transaminase (ALT) were tested. Each patient was genotyped by pyrosequencing for 10 mutation sites in the HBV P gene that have been previously correlated to NUC efficacy. Each patient's antiviral therapy and response history was analyzed in regard to their particular mutation pattern. The serological index was determined for carriers of the rtA181T/V mutation. The secondary individualized treatment included adding/switching to entecavir (ETV; group A) or adding telbivudine (LdT; group B) upon confirmation of drug resistance. Effect of individualized treatment was analyzed by T test and Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables with normal or skewed distributions, respectively. Categorical variables were analyzed by the Chi-squared ( x² ) or Fisher's exact tests.

RESULTSThe rtA181T mutation was found in 64.8% (35/54) of patients with rtA181 mutation HBV. The most frequent previously administered medications were adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) and lamivudine (LAM). Multi-site rtA181 mutations occurred more frequently in the patients with multi-NUCs history (57.6%) than in those with single NUCs history (28.6%) (x²=4.342, P less than 0.05). Serum HBV DNA level at virological breakthrough was lower than that at baseline of the first antiviral treatment (5.66+/-1.01 vs. 6.75+/-0.81 log10 copies/ml; t=-4.210, P less than 0.01). The serum HBsAg level was higher in carriers of the rtA181T mutation than in carriers of the rtA181V mutation (3.80+/-0.45 vs. 3.46+/-0.60 log10 IU/ml; t=2.109, P less than 0.05). In patients with serum HBV DNA more than or equal to 6 log10 copies/ml at viral breakthrough, 100% (8/8) of patients in the secondary treatment group A and 75% (3/4) patients in the secondary treatment group B exhibited virological response at week 24 after intervention. Undetectable HBV DNA was achieved in three patients of group A and one patient of group B. In patients with serum HBV DNA less than 6 log10 copies/ml at viral breakthrough, 100% (14/14) of patients in group A and 71.4% (5/7) of patients in group B exhibited biological response at week 24 after intervention. The serum HBV DNA level decreased to undetectable levels in 12 patients of group A and four patients of group B.

CONCLUSIONThe rtA181 mutation pattern correlates with previous antiviral therapy response. In addition, multi-site rtA181 mutations occur more frequently in patients with a history of multi-NUCs therapy. Adding or switching rtA181 carriers to ETV produces a more robust virological suppression than adding LdT.
