Objective To investigate the outcomes of arthroscopically lateral retinaculum patellae release and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using the semitendinosus tendon autograft for the treatment of habitual or recurrent dislocation of the patella. Methods 18 cases of recurrent dislocation of the patella were included in this group, among which there were 6 males and 12 females. The average age was 20 years old(range from 17 to 24 years). Arthroscopic investigation found tensed lateral retinaculum patellae and damaged cartilage at patellar medial margin and femoral lateral condyle. There were 6 cases of Ⅱdegree cartilage injuries, 5 cases of Ⅲ degrees injuries, and 7 cases of Ⅳ degree injuries caused by patellofemoral joint impact. For cases of Ⅳ degree injuries, the damaged cartilage was shaved and microfractured. For cases of Ⅱ or Ⅲ degree injuries, radiofrequency system was used for debridement. After the lateral retinaculum patellae was extensively released, semitendinosus tendon autograft was used to reconstruct the medial patellofemoral ligament. The knee joint was flexed and extended. Patella's dynamic motion, the tension of the tendon and relationship between the femoral trochlea and patellar bone were arthroscopically observed. Interface screw was used to fix the tendon ends within the bone tunnel on condylus medialis femoris. Results All patients were followed up for 9 to 19 months averaging 13 months. No patellar dislocation occurred postoperatively. Apprehensive test, patella tilt test were negative; and Apley test were negative in 16 patients and positive in 2 patients. One case of inferior pole of patella fractured. Axial view of X-ray and MR images of patella showed 15 cases regained normal anatomical relation of patellofemoral joint. 3 cases had mild semi-dislocation. Lysholm's score averaging (78.0?4.5) points preoperatively and (94.0?3.5) points postoperatively. Conclusion Lateral retinaculum patellae solution and medial part reconstruction under arthroscope can effectively cure recurrent subluxation of the patella and improve knee joint function.

Objective To investigate error-related negativity characteristics of patients with internalizing mental disorders and its diagnostic value.Methods Fifty-five patients met with DSM-Ⅳ anxiety or depression criteria were sampled from outpatients and inpatients,and 20 normal adults were selected as control group.With Eriksen and Simon tasks as evoked stimuli,error-related negativities of each participant were acquired using Canada Stellate-64 channel EEG/ERP Instrument and BESA5.2 software,and the data of general information,clinical symptoms,reaction time,and error rate were collected.Results (1) Correct reaction time ((377.5±98.8) ms)and errors reaction time ((337.3±96.6)ms) of patient group were significantly longer than those of control group ((288.5±105.9)ms and (281.9±94.3)ms) on the Eriksen task and Simon task,and there were no significantly group differences on other indicators (P＞0.05).(2) ERN amplitudes at 6 sities (Fz =(4.97±5.74) μV,F3 =(5.50±4.59) μV,F4 =(6.26±6.79) μV,Cz =(4.74±5.51) μV,C3 =(5.44±4.8) μV,C4 =(5.50± 5.28) μV) of patients group were significantly greater than those of control group ((1.17± 1.47)μV,(2.22±3.95) μV,(3.40±2.55)μV,(2.28± 1.41) μV,(3.05±2.47) μV,(3.16±2.51) μV) on the Eriksen task.ERN amplitudes at Fz((5.43±6.61) μV) and F4((6.00±5.50)μV) of patient group were significantly were greater than those of control group ((2.05 ±2.34) μV,(3.09±2.86)μV) on the Simon task,and there were no significantly group differences on the ERN amplitudes at other sites (P＞0.05).(3) ERN latencies ((87.6±34.4) ms and (84.9±34.8) ms) of patient group at Fz and F4 were significantly longer than control group ((54.0±46.5) ms and (36.3±42.4)ms) on the Simon task,and there were no significantly group differences on the ERN latencies at other sites (P＞0.05).Conclusion The increased error related potentials suggest that patients with internalizing mental disorders has an internal error monitoring defects,and ERN might be a useful endophenotype for internalizing mental disorders.

Objective To provide clinical evidence for the optimal acupuncture time in acupuncture treatment of hearing disorder in kids with cerebral palsy.Method Ninety eligible patients were randomized into 3 groups, 30 in each group. Group A was treated for 30 min, group B for 45 min, and group C for 1 h. The hearing improvement was evaluated by using brain-stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP).Result The detection of BAEP showed that the latent and peak periods of wave I,Ⅲ, and V were significantly shortened in the 3 groups after intervention (P<0.01), suggesting that acupuncture can produce a marked efficacy in treating hearing disorder in cerebral palsy. The inter-group comparisons showed that the efficacy of group A was significantly higher than that of group B and C (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in comparing the efficacy between group B and C (P>0.05). It’s indicated that the optimal acupuncture time span should be 30 min.Conclusion With the same acupuncture skills, acupuncture for 30 min can produce a comparatively higher efficacy in treating infantile hearing disorder.

Objective To establish a flow cytometry-based test for the detection of pyroptosis of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). Methods Bone marrow cells were isolated from wild type (WT) C57BL/ 6 mice and/ or caspase-1-/ - C57BL/ 6 mice and then stimulated with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) to differentiate into murine BMDM. PBS, LPS and LPS+adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were respectively used to stimulate the BMDM. Western blot assay was performed to detect the cleav-age of IL-1β and caspase-1. The levels of IL-1β in the supernatants of cell culture were measured by ELISA. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released in the culture media was detected by using LDH kit. The pyroptosis of murine BMDM was detected by using flow cytometry analysis after double-staining with TMR red+caspase-1, AnnexinⅤ+caspase-1 and propidium iodide (PI)+caspase-1. Results IL-1β was detected in the culture medium of BMDM treated with LPS+ATP and the cleavage of IL-1β and caspase-1 was confirmed by Western blot assay, which indicated that the NLRP3 inflammasome was activated by LPS+ATP treatment. Compared with the caspase-1-/ - mice group, higher levels of LDH were detected in the culture medium of BMDM isolated form the WT mice. Results of the flow cytometry analysis after staining BMDM with caspase-1 plus AnnexinⅤ or PI showed that more cells undergoing pyroptosis were detected in the LPS+ATP treat-ment group than that in LPS or PBS treatment group, which were consistent with the results of the reported flow cytometry with caspase-1+TMR red staining. Conclusion The flow cytometry-based test with double-staining of caspase-1 plus AnnexinⅤ or PI could be used for the detection of pyroptosis of murine BMDM.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathologic features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of primary gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor ( IMT) . Methods Four cases of gastric IMTs were studied by clinicopathologic analysis, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, and the related literature was reviewed. Results In four cases there are two males and two females, age range from 21 to 51 years old, and tumor size ranged from 1. 5 to 6. 5 cm in the greatest dimension. Histologically, these tumors were composed of varied spindle cells and chronic inflammatory cells, in a myxoid or hyalinized stroma. Occasionally, there were calcifica-tion and ossification areas. Most of the spindle cells had bland appearance and a minority of the tumor cells showed mild atypia. One to two mitotic figures were recognized in 10 high power fields ( HPFs) in 1 to 2 patients. Smooth muscle actin staining was observed in all tumors and ALK staining observed in two tumors. One tumor focally expressed CD34. S-100, desmin, CD68, CD117 and DOG1 was negative in all IMTs. The patients were followed up from 24 to 66 months, and none of them had tumor relapsed or metastasis. Conclu-sions Primary gastric IMTs have an intermediate behavior, and a few cases have malignant potential. It should be distinguished from other spindle cell lesions similar to IMT.

Objective To study the spectrum of upper gastrointestinal diseases and infection rate of Helicobacter pylori(Hp) in our hospital during the past 35 years.Methods Patients who were 16 or older with duodenal ulcer,gastric ulcer,reflux esophagitis,gastric cancer and esophageal cancer diagnosed by gastroscopy and pathology were retrospectively enrolled in our study from January 1980 to December 2014.Patients with chronic superficial gastritis,chronic atrophic gastritis or Hp infection from January 1989to December 2014 were also included in our study according to the same diagnostic criteria.The incidences of diseases and the infection rates of Hp were studied.Results A total of 213 495 patients underwent gastroscopy in our department during the past 35 years.The overall diagnostic rates of duodenal ulcer,gastric ulcer,reflux esophagitis,gastric cancer and esophageal cancer were 9.87％,3.79％,6.66％,1.59％ and 0.66％ respectively.There were 183 426 patients receiving gastroscopy in our department from January 1989to December 2014.The overall endoscopic diagnosis rates of chronic superficial gastritis and chronic atrophic gastritis were 49.83％ and 22.43％ respectively.The overall infection rate of Hp was 36.18％,which had a declining trend consistent with peptic ulcer (all P =0.000).Yet,the prevalence of reflux esophagitis,chronic superficial gastritis and chronic atrophic gastritis were increasing (all P =0.000).The diagnostic rates of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer were persistent (P =0.266,P =0.156).Conclusions The Hp infection during years has been decreasing,consistent with the declining tendency of peptic ulcer.On the other hand,reflux esophagitis,chronic superficial gastritis and chronic atrophic gastritis show an ascendant trend.The proportion of patients with gastric cancer and esophageal cancer is relatively stable.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic interaction between sunitinib and ramipril in rats. Eighteen male SD rats were divided into three groups, with each group being assigned to orally receive sunitinib, ramipril, sunitinib and ramipril, respectively, for ten days. Blood samples were collected at dif-ferent times after first-day and tenth-day administration. The concentrations of ramiprilat and sunitinib in rat plasma were determined by LC/MS/MS and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and statistically analyzed. Compared with the administration of ramipril alone, after a single-dose combined administration, tmax of ramiprilat decreased significantly and t1/2 prolonged, while AUC0-∞ remained unchanged. These results indicated that the ab-sorption rate of ramiprilat increased and the elimination rate decreased, but total absorption degree was not changed. After multiple-dose administrations, CL of ramiprilat decreased and AUC0-∞ increased obviously. It sug-gested that accumulation of ramiprilat occurred in body and the drug elimination became slower. No obvious difference of sunitinib pharmacokinetic behavior was found when it was given in combination with ramipril after a single-dose administration or multiple-dose administration. Sunitinib decreased the elimination of ramiprilat after co-administration in company with drug accumulation in body after multiple-dose co-administration. The study showed that there were pharmacokinetic interactions between sunitinib and ramipril in SD rats.
