OBJECTIVE: The success of joint prosthesis greatly depends on the materials, which should be a perfect combination of physics, chemistry, biomechanics and clinical sciences in choice of them. In addition, the effect of manufacture technology can not be neglected. So, it is significant to probe into the systematic basis in materials selection of joint prosthesis.DATA SOURCES: A computer-based search was conducted in Pubmed database for articles about joint prosthesis published before April 2006 with the key words of "artificial joint materials, biomaterial", and the language was limited to English. Meanwhile, Chinese Journal Full-text Database (CJFD) and Wanfang database were looked for relevant literatures published before April 2006 with the key words of "artificial joint material, biomedical material", and the language was limited to Chinese. Besides,the standards for materials were searched in Chinese service net for standard consultation with the key words of "implants for surgery" in both Chinese and English. At the same time, relevant books were also manually searched.STUDY SELECTION: Data were checked in the first trial, and related articles according to the criteria of research were looked for the full text.Inclusion criteria: ① Requirements for artificial joint material. ② Relevant standards for artificial joint of surgical implants. Exclusion criteria: Repetitive studies were excluded.DATA EXTRACTION: A total of 390 domestic and overseas articles,which were in relation to the mechanical properties of artificial joint material and bone and measurement of the overall dimensions of knee joint,were collected. There were still 242 relevant standards, while the repetitive studies and similar researches were excluded. Ten typical articles and 25 standards in collection were summed up and reviewed.DATA SYNTHESIS: ①Close combination of physics, chemistry, biomechanics and clinical sciences is sufficiently embodied in the selection of the materials. ② Two aspects must be taken into consideration: Requirements for function of the implant and the responses inside the human body.③ Main types of materials for joint prosthesis: biomedical metallic material, biomedical inorganic material of nonmetal, bioceramic, biomedical compound materials and so on. All kinds of materials that have been adopted should accord with the international or state or trade standards.④ The final determination of materials should meet the comprehensive requirements of standards, laws and regulations, as well as strategic targeting. CONCLUSION: Based on engineering, the fundamental principles of materials selection for joint prosthesis are illustrated from the following angles: clinical requirements for materials of replacement, attentions in joint prosthesis design, commonly used biomedicine materials performance, requirements of product registration and laws & regulations related to the materials, the strategy in the choice of material standard etc. As a result, a valuable system approach is provided for joint-prosthesis designers to select materials.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of levosimendan applied in patients with chronic heart failure combined with acute ST -elevation myocardium after direct percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Using the random number table method,95 patients with heart failure combined with acute ST -elevation myocardium after direct PCI were randomly divided into two groups:the general treatment group and the levosimendan group.The levels of serum NT -proBNP,LVSD,LVEF before and after 24h,one week treatment were examined.After the experiment,clinical assessment was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of levosimendan.Results The resuits of NT -proBNP,LVEF and LVSD in the general group before treatment were (5 908.1 ±33.2)ng/L, (36.7 ±4.3)% and (6.1 ±0.6)cm,while those were (3 478.5 ±19.3)ng/L,(45.0 ±6.3)%,(5.9 ±0.3)cm, (3 375.2 ±32.1)ng/L,(48.3 ±5.4)% and (5.8 ±1.1)cm after 24h and 1 week treatment.The level of serum NT-proBNP decreased,while the LVEF increased in general treatment group after 24h treatment(t =3.86,4.11,P =0.021,0.015).The same results happened after 1 week treatment(compared with before treatment,t =4.13,5.06, P =0.016,0.013,compared with 24 hours after treatment,t =3.96,4.77,P =0.021,0.015).But the level of the LVSD had no differences before and after 24h,1 week treatment(P >0.05).The results of NT -proBNP,LVEF and LVSD in the levosimendan group before treatment were (3 340.5 ±19.2)ng/L,(43.3 ±3.9)%,(5.3 ±0.7)cm, (2 938.3 ±12.8)ng/L,(52.7 ±8.2)% and (4.6 ±0.2)cm after 24h and 1 week treatment.The levels of serum NT -proBNP,LVSD decreased,while the LVEF increased in the levosimendan group after 24h,1 week treatment(t =6.07,6.49,5.73,P =0.010,0.008,0.011.t =6.55,7.05,5.33,P =0.009,0.007,0.012).Compared with the general treatment group,the levels of serum NT -proBNP,LVEF showed no differences(all P >0.05),but the level of the LVSD decreased after 24h treatment(t =4.84,P =0.015)in the levosimendan group.The levels of serum NT -proBNP,LVSD decreased,while the LVEF increased in the levosimendan group after 1 week treatment compared with the general treatment group(t =6.60,7.01,5.40,P =0.007,0.007,0.011 ).After one week treatment,the effective and beneficial rates of the levosimendan group were 66.6% and 95.6%,while those were 59.6% and 89.5% in the general treatment group.The therapeutic effects of levosimendan group were more effective than the general treatment group after 1 week treatment(χ2 =9.72,15.63,P =0.015,0.008),but had no statistical differ-ences between the two groups after 24h treatment(P >0.05).There was no statistical differences between the two groups in the rate of adverse reactions.Conclusion Levosimendan has very favorable efficacy and safety for patients with chronic heart failure combined with acute ST -elevation myocardium infarction after direct PCI.

Objective:To study the effects of ~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN on the in vitro invasive ability of heptocellular carcino-ma cell line(HepG2) through PEI-RGD-mediated receptor process. Methods: Intergrin α_v-specific antisense oligonucle-otide was labeled with ~(125)I, and PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN complex was prepared by combining ~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN with polyethyleneimine derivative PEI-RGD. PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN complex was transferred into HepG2 cells through the receptor-mediated process. The effect of PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN complex on the invasive ability of HepG2 cells was examined by Boyden chamber invasive assay. Results: (1) The labeling yield and radiochemical purity of ~(125)I-(α_v) ASODN were(73.78±4.09)% and(96.68±1.38)%, respectively, and the labeled compound had a good stability in vitro after 48 h at 37℃; (2) The ability of HepG2 cells to uptake PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN reached its peek ([12.77±0.85] % ) when PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN was at 4 μl/2 μg ([12.77±0.85] %), and then gredually decreased thereafter. So the dosage of PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN for the following experiment was chosen as 2 μl/1 μg; (3) The invasive capacity of HepG2 cells was significantly reduced in PEI-RGD/~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN group compared with those in other experiment and control groups (P <0.01 ). Conclusion: ~(125)I-(α_v)ASODN mediated by PEI-RGD can effectively inhibit the invasive capacity of HepG2 cells.

Objective: To investigate the factors related to cardiac dysfunctions during the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS). Methods: Patients diagnosed as NSTEACS receiving PCI from September 2007 to June 2018 were collected in the data base of medical record management system in Qingdao Eighth People′s Hospital. Patients with cardiac dysfunctions (≥ Killip Ⅱ grade) within 1 week after PCI were included into the case group, while patients with normal cardiac function (Killip Ⅰ grade) within 1 week after PCI were included into the control group. Firstly, baseline data of age, gender, histories of hypertension, histories of type 2 diabetes, histories of high cholesterol, histories of smoking, histories of drinking, histories of myocardial infarction, NSTEACS risk stratifications, the application of platelet glycoprotein (GP)Ⅱb/Ⅲa receptor antagonists, coronary artery SYNTAX scores, the dose of contrast agent during PCI, the peak cardiac troponin (cTnT) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) within 24 h after admission was compared between the two groups; then, factors with statistical differences (P < 0.05) were analyzed by the multivariate logistic regression; at last, variables screening was performed through the backward method and likelihood ratio test. Results: A total of 3927 patients with NSTEACS receiving PCI were enrolled. After patients with incomplete information were eliminated, 313 patients were admitted to the case group and 2 906 patients were admitted to the controlled group. After the analysis of multivariate logistic regression and variables screening, it showed that >80 years old (OR = 1.758, 95% CI 1.129 to 2.367, P = 0.014), increased dose of contrast agent (OR = 1.083, 95% CI 1.007 to 1.274, P = 0.020), the peak cTnT>0.2 μg/L (OR = 2.102, 95% CI 1.703 to 3.104, P = 0.031) and NT-proBNP>450 ng/L (OR = 2.243, 95% CI 1.863 to 3.257, P = 0.015) after admission were the risk factors of cardiac dysfunctions. Conclusions Advanced age (>80 years old), increased dose of contrast agent during PCI, the peak cTnT>0.2 μg/L and NT-proBNP>450 ng/L within 24 h after admission could raise the risk of cardiac dysfunctions in patients with NSTEACS after PCI.

Objective To investigate the factors related to slow-flow (SF) or no-reflow (NR) during the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary sydrome (NSTEACS). Methods Patients diagnosed as NSTEACS who received PCI from September 2007 to June 2018 were collected through the data base of medical record management system in Qingdao Eighth People′s Hospital.The blood flow≤TIMI 2 grade during PCI was defined as slow-flow (SF) or no-reflow(NR). Patients with SF or NR were included into the case group and patients without SF or NR were included into the controlled group. Factors of age, gender, history of hypertension, history of type 2 diabetes, history of high cholesterol, history of smoking, history of drinking, NSTEACS risk stratification, the application of platelet glycoprotein (GP) ⅡB/ⅢA receptor antagonist, coronary artery SYNTAX score, culprit blood vessels, times of balloon dilatation, the burden of thrombus and the preoperative TIMI grade of blood flow were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. Then, variables screening was performed through backward method and likelihood ratio test. Results A total of 3 927 patients with NSTEACS receiving PCI were enrolled. After patients with incomplete information were eliminated, 143 patients were admitted to the case group and 3 588 patients were admitted to the control group. After the analysis of multivariate Logistic regression and variables screening, it was showed that times of balloon dilatation ≥ 3 ( OR＝1.725, 95% CI 1.211－2.358, P＝0.014) and high burden of thrombus ( OR＝1.821, 95% CI 1.322-2.511, P＜0.01) were the risk factors of SF or NR, while the application of GPⅡB/ⅢA receptor antagonist ( OR＝0.623, 95% CI 0.382-0.855, P＝0.012) was the protective factor of SF or NR. Conclusions Multiple balloon dilatation and high burden of thrombus increased the risk of SF or NR, while the application of GPⅡB/ⅢA receptor antagonists could inhibit the occurrence of SF or NR.

Aberrant expression of annexin A2-S100A10 heterotetramer (AIIt) associated with PML/RARα fusion protein causes lethal hyperfibrinolysis in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL),but the mechanism is unclear.To facilitate the investigation of regulatory association between ANXA2 and promyelocytic leukemia/retinoic acid receptor α (PML/RARα) fusion protein,this work was performed to determine the transcription start site of ANXA2 promoter with rapid amplification of S'-cDNA ends analysis.Zinc-induced U937/PR9 cells expressed PML/RARα fusion protein,and resultant increases in ANXA2 transcripts and translational expressions of both ANXA2 and S100A10,while S100A10 transcripts remained constitutive.The transactivation of ANXA2 promoter by PML/RARα fusion protein was 3.29 ± 0.13 fold higher than that by control pSG5 vector or wild-type RARα.The overexpression of ANXA2 in U937 transfected with full-length ANXA2 eDNA was associated with increased S100A10 subunit,although S100A10 transcripts remained constitutive.The tPA-dependent initial rate of plasmin generation (IRPG) in zinc-treated U937/PR9 increased by 2.13-fold,and cell invasiveness increased by 27.6％.Antibodies against ANXA2,S100A10,or combination of both all remarkably inhibited the IRPG and invasiveness in U937/PR9 and NB4.Treatment of zinc-induced U937/PR9 or circulating APL blasts with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) significantly reduced cell surface ANXA2 and S100A10 and associated reductions in IRPG and invasiveness.Thus,PML/RARα fusion protein transactivated the ANXA2 promoter to upregulate ANXA2 and accumulate S100A10.Increased AIIt promoted IRPG and invasiveness,both of which were partly abolished by antibodies against ANXA2 and S100A10 or by ATRA.

Objective To analysis the clinical pathway management efficiency under different DRG groups, for a basis for further optimizing clinical pathway management. Methods The retrospective analysis method was used to compare the average length of stay, sub-average costs, and drug proportions of patients with different DRGs in the same clinical pathway. Shapiro-Wilk was used to detect the normality of the samples, t test was used to analyze measurement data conformed to the normal distribution, non-parametric test was used to analyze the abnormal distribution data, and enumeration data was detected by using chi-square test. Results For patients with a clinical pathway of bronchial pneumonia, patients with severe complications and concomitant symptoms had no significant difference in mean hospitalization and sub-costs, regardless of whether they completed or entered the clinical pathway ( P >0.05). For the other two DRG patients, the difference between the average length of stay, sub-average costs, and the proportion of medications for patients who completed the clinical pathway and withdrew from or did not complete the clinical pathway was significant(P<0.05). In the severe surgical group, the length of stay and average cost for patients who completed the clinical pathway were lower than those who exited or did not enter the clinical pathway(P<0.05). Conclusions Patients with different severity of DRGs should be cautious when they are enrolled in the clinical pathway.

Objective To analyze the differences in hospitalization days and costs of patients with acute cholecystitis in different departments or diagnosis related groups ( DRGs ), and provide scientific references for clinical medical management. Methods All the medical record homepages of the patients with acute cholecystitis were selected from a tertiary hospital from January 2017 to December 2017. The hospital analysis system of DRGs was used to calculate the classification results of DRGs. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to analyze the differences in hospital stays and costs between different DRGs or departments. Results The average length of stay was the shortest and the hospitalization cost in the department of hepatobiliary surgery was lower than other departments among patients with surgery and non-surgical(all P<0.05); The average length of stay at the department of hepatobiliary surgery was lower than the same other DRGs groups, namely the department of digestive medicine and gastrointestinal surgery(all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the cost of " acute biliary tract disease with complications" between the various departments(P>0.05). The average cost in the department of hepatobiliary surgery was the lowest, and the average cost of gastrointestinal surgery was the highest in two DRGs of " acute biliary disease without complications and concomitant symptoms" and " laparoscopic cholecystectomy without common bile duct exploration" ( all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Department of hepatobiliary surgery was better than other departments in the treatment of acute cholecystitis. Medical institutions should follow the principle of special treatment to reduce interdisciplinary patients and improve the professional competitiveness of the department.

Objective To investigate the effect of 810 nm low-level laser on neuronal axonal regeneration of mice with spinal cord injury and its related mechanism.Methods In vivo experiment:20 Balb/c mice were randomly divided into the spinal cord injury group(SCI group)and the 810 nm low-level laser irradiation group(low-level laser group)after spinal cord injury according to the random number table method,with each group containing ten mice.A mice SCI model was established through clamp injury and the low-level laser group continuously irradiated the damaged area with weak 810 nm low-level laser with selected parameters(continuous wave with wave length 810 nm,power density 2 mW/cm2,spot are 4.5 cm2,irradiation time 50 minutes,energy 6000J/cm2).Then immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the M1 macrophage marker-inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),the M2 macrophage marker arginase 1(Arg-1)and the universal marker F4/80 of macrophages after 14 days.Furthermore,in the in vitro experiment,standardized low-level laser-macrophage irradiation model was established.Another 20 Balb/c mice were used to obtain primary bone marrow-derived macrophages which were induced into M1 macrophages using lipopolysaccharide(LPS)and interferon-gamma(INF-γ).The M1 macrophages were randomly divided into the M1 macrophage group(M1 group)and the low-level laser therapy group(M1 + low-level laser group)equally according to the random number table method.The M1 group was not treated,and the M1 + low-level laser group was treated with low-level laser of selected parameters.RT-qPCR and ELISA were used to detect the expression of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist(IL-1RA)and interleukin-10(IL-10)in M1 macrophages 24 hours after irradiation.Western blot was used to analyze the expression of iNOS,Arg-1,differentiation antigen cluster 206(CD206),protein kinase B(AKT),phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-AKT),cyclic adenosine response element binding protein(CREB)and phosphorylated cyclic adenosine response element binding protein(p-CREB)in M1 macrophages 48 hours after irradiation.Dorsal root gangtion neurons(DRG)were cultured in two groups of macrophage conditioned medium,and the length of DRG axon growth was measured 48 h later to evaluate the effect of low-level laser on neuronal axon growth.Results In the in vivo experiment,compared with mice with spinal cord injury alone,the fluorescence intensity of F4/80+ iNOS+ in the spinal cord injury area decreased(1.00±0.08vs. 0.06±0.04)(P＜ 0.05)and the fluorescence intensity of F4/80 + Arg-1 + increased after low-level laser(1.00±0.07vs.2.15±0.12)(P＜0.01).In the in vitro experiment,compared with the M1 group,the expression of the M1 macrophage marker iNOS in the M1 + low-level laser group decreased(1.00±0.11 vs.0.08±0.01)(P＜ 0.01);the M2 macrophage marker Arg-1(1.00±0.14vs.2.44±0.16)(P＜0.01),and the expression of CD206(1.00±0.12 vs.1.83±0.05)(P＜0.01)increased.In addition,IL-1RA expression was increased in the M1 + low-level laser group compared with the M1 group(RT-qPCR:1.00±0.00vs.2.27±0.22)(P＜0.01)(ELISA:1435.58±100.48vs.2006.12±123.91(P＜0.05);IL-10 expression was also increased in the M1 +low-level laser group compared with the M1 group(RT-qPCR:1.00±0.00 vs. 3.45±0,56)(P＜0.05)(ELISA:137.13±4.20 vs.188.29±8.49)(P＜ 0,01);compared with the M1 group,the macrophage polarization pathway protein in the M1 + low-level laser group increased,AKT(1.07±0.12vs.1.74±0.04)(P＜0.01),p-AKT(1.00±0.12 vs.1.64±0.15)(P＜0.05),p-CREB(1.00±0.10vs.2.12±0.18)(P＜0.01).Compared with the M1 group,the conditioned medium of the M1 + low-level laser group significantly promoted DRG axon growth(567.66±63.59 vs.1068.95±130.14)(P＜ 0,05).Conclusions The 810 nm low-level laser irradiation can promote neuronal axon regeneration of mice with spinal cord injury,which may be related to the regulation of macrophage polarization phenotype by low-level laser through AKT/CREB pathway.
