BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that dibutyl phthalate has certain toxicity to the reproductive system of male animals.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of dibutyl phthalate on secretion of rat ovarian granulose cells. METHODS:Ovarian granulosa cells from 25-day-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured in vitro and exposed to different concentrations of dibutyl phthalate (0, 5, 20, 80μmol/L) for 24 hours. Estradiol and progesterone in ovarian granulosa cells were measured by the method of radio-immunity. Expression of the cytochrome P450aromatase and P450 side chain cleavage enzyme mRNA in granulosa cells were examined by real-time PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The levels of estradiol and progesterone in granulosa cells decreased after exposure to dibutyl phthalate. With the increase of the dibutyl phthalate concentration, the expression of
P450arom and P450scc mRNA decreased gradual y. Dibutyl phthalate could induce reproductive dysfunction and toxicity to female rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of Tat-NBD(NEMO-binding domain,NBD)peptide on LPS-stimulated AR42J acinus cells inflammatory response.Method Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was added to culture media at doses of 10 mg/kg for 24 hours to stimulate the AR42J cells.For pretreatment.cells were incubated with different peptides for 2 hours before LPS stimulation.The expression of TNF-α mRNA WaS conducted using a semi-quantitative RT-PCR method.TNF-α protein in culture medium were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The expression and translocation of the NF-kB-p65 protein of AR42J was determined by Strept Actividin-Biotin Complex(SABC)method.Results LPS(10 mg/L)resulted in an increase of TNF-αmRNA and TNF-αprotein,whereas significant inhibitory effects were observed when cells were incubated with Tat-NBD(WT)just on dose of 0.1 me/L(P＜0.05).The Tat-NBD(WT)peptide decreased inflammatory cytokine expression by a dose-dependent manner and its peak role was on dose of 100 mg/L.Consisting with TNF-α expression decrease,NF-kB-p65 expression signitieantly decreased in Tat-NBD(WT)pretreatment group,especially on the largest dose.NO significant changes in the control peptide group.Conclusions Tat-NBD(WT)peptide can inhibit the inflammation of acinus simulated by LPS.

BACKGROUND:Complex scapular fractures were mainly treated by implant fixation. Standard fixation approach (Judet approach) had long incision and big trauma. With the application of spiral CT and three-dimensional reconstruction, minimal y invasive incision could be designed before implant fixation, and then fixation could be finished by physicians. Thus, trauma was reduced and repair effect was elevated. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of the three-dimensional reconstruction design combined with titanium plate reconstruction or lag screw for treatment of scapular fractures. METHODS:From February 2007 to January 2012, 33 cases of scapular fractures were enrol ed from Department of Orthopedics, No. 1 Hospital of Qinhuangdao in China. They were scanned by three dimensional reconstruction of CT before implant fixation to identify the regions needed to be repositioned and fixed. Thus, minimal y invasive incision of implant fixation was designed. The dissection of skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscle was reduced. Reposition was performed. Titanium plate and/or lag screw were used for fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The operation lasted for 90-130 minutes in 33 patients, with intraoperative blood loss for 300-400 mL. Fracture was total y healed, and the healing time was 2-4 months. The fol ow up lasted for 12-24 months. According to Hardegger standard, there were excellent in 17 cases, good in 12 cases, average in 3 cases and poor in 1 case, with an excellent and good rate of 88%. These results suggested that three-dimensional reconstruction design combined with minimal y invasive incision treatment for scapular fractures showed fewer traumas, can complete the satisfactory fracture reduction and implant fixation, and obtain good repair effect.

Objective To investigate the relevant factors for development of early postoperative complications in patients with portal hypertension due to advanced schistosomiasis, and to offer a theoretical basis for preventing the occurrence of postoperative complications. Methods The cases of advanced schistosomiasis with portal (hypertension) operated upon over the past 40 years were retrospectively reviewed. Results In 8 240 cases, the complication rate was 19.66% at one month after operation, and the mortality rate was 15.31%. The main causes of death were MDOS, massive hemorrhage into abdominal cavity, hepatorenal syndrome and (recurrence) of bleeding of upper alimentary tract. Conclusions The relevant factors for development of early complications after operation in patients with portal hypertension is related to the cause of portal hypertension, whether or not there is a history of ascites, the timing of operation and the stage of liver function(Child′s classification).

Objective To investigate the pattern of antihypertensive medication prescribing in outpatients from the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, and analyze the shortcoming and deficiency compared with 2010 Chinese guidelines for the management of hypertension. Methods A total of 154 262 electronic prescribing for outpatients with hy-pertension, from January-December 2012 in a Grade 3A hospital in Tianjin, were enrolled in this retrospective survey. Data of commonly used antihypertensive medication and combination therapy in patients were analyzed. The patient data collected were divided into different groups according to age, gender, high blood pressure level and the onset of the season. Results (1)The list of the drugs commonly used for treating hypertension in outpatients were calcium antagonist (52.3%), angiotensin receptor blockers (34.0%),βblockers (25.9%), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (12.1%), fixed-dose combination (11.0%) and diuretics (1.4%).(2)The fewer combination therapy was found in outpatients than that of monotherapy (43.9%vs 56.1%). Some prescriptions were not routinely recommended by the Guideline (4.6%).(3)The combination therapy used in patients with stage 3 hypertension was higher than that of patients with stage 1or stage 2 hypertension (44.5%vs 37.7%vs 37.7%, P<0.01). The rate of combination therapy was significantly higher in cardiology department than that of other clini-cal departments (P<0.01). The combination therapy tended to be used in the elderly patients than that of non-elderly pa-tients (P<0.01). The number of prescriptions was lower in summer than that of other seasons,but the rate of combination therapy was higher in summer than that of spring, autumn and winter (P<0.01). Conclusion The prescriptions of combina-tion therapy and diuretic were inadequate in outpatients with hypertension. These findings indicate the difference between clinical prescription and the guideline for the management of hypertension.

Objective To describe the surgical technique in reconstructing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with six strands harmstring tendon graft fixed by bioabsurbable rigidfix cross pins under arthroseopy and to e-valuate its efficacy. Methods From March 2005 to June 2008,39 patients with ACL injury were treated with ACL reconstruction by transplantation of six strands autogenous harmstring tendon , fixed by bioabsorbable rigidfix cross pins in femoral side. There are 22 male and 17 female,ages from 22 to 55 (the average age is 37). 19 cases were hurt in traffic accident, and another 20 cases in accidental injury. The state of illness is 7 days to 38 months. 13 cases merge the meniscus rupture, and 4 cases of meniscus suture,8 partial meniscectomy, 1 meniscectomy were performed simultaneously ;4 cases associating with the medial collateral ligaments Ⅲ degree injure underwent medial collateral ligament neo-plasty or reconstruction ;no cases merge posterior cruciate ligament injury, the patients were followed up 12 to 51 months , Pre-and post-operative knee joint function and stability were evaluated according to the Lysholm scoring scale system and the results of KT-2000 arthrometer , the clinical results and the reliability of the fixation were analyzed. Results 32 patients were followed-up and there is no limitation of the extention in the knee joints. The flexation of the knee joint is greater than 120°,and the anterior drawer test in 90° of flexation were negative in all patients.
