Osteoarthritis is a chronic disabling disease that tends to occur in middle-aged and elderly population, the main pathological characteristics are the dynamic imbalance between the synthesis and degradation of articular chondrocytes, extracellular matrix and subchondral bone. The occurrence and development is related to many factors. This article reviews the structure, the function and the interaction between α2-macroglobulins and a disintegrin and metallo-proteinase with throm-bospondin motifs in the development of osteoarthritis.

Objective To analyze the significance of global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) in acute kidney injury (AKI) after septic shock.Methods A retrospective analysis of 61 patients was performed.The patients were diagnosed of septic shock in emergency ward of Shenyang Military Hospital from 2012 March to 2013 May and were monitored by pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO).The patients were divided into two groups:low GEDVI group (GEDVI < 700 ml/m2,29 cases) and high GEDVI group (GEDVI≥700 ml/m2,32 cases) by evaluating GEDVI of 24 hour after PiCCO.Several physiologic and biochemical indexes were recorded,including the hemodynamic parameters at the beginning and the 24 h of PiCCO monitoring,Scr,BUN,lactic acid,incidence and mortality of AKI,baseline glomerular filtration rate,baseline Scr,APACHE Ⅱ scores,mortality during the period of emergency ward or within 28 d after the diagnosis.Results A total of 26 cases in high GEDVI group (81.3%) were attacked with AKI,while 16 cases in low GEDVI group (55.2%) were attacked with AKI,the incidence of AKI in high GEDVI group was significantly higher than that in the low GEDVI group.A COX regression analysis of mortality was performed between the patients staying at emergency ward and during 28 d after diagnosis.The results indicated that AKI and GEDVI had no relation with patients' death.Therefore,AKI and GEDVI could not be considered as the risk factors for the prognosis.Conclusions High GEDVI can significantly increase the incidence of AKI after septic shock,therefore high GEDVI should be avoided as much as possible in the course of clinical treatment.

Objective To evaluate the use of spiral enteroscopy in diagnosis and treatment of smallbowel diseases.Methods The data of 8 patients who underwent spiral enteroscopy from July to September 2009 were retrospectively studied.The variables including maximal insertion depth,total procedure time,complications,and outcome were evaluated.Results The average maximal depth of intubation was 2.2 m beyond the Ligament of Triez (0-3.6 m beyond Ligament of Triez),with a mean procedure time at 41 min (25 to 77 min).Small bowel Crohn's disease was diagnosed in 2 cases with biopsy suggesting active inflammation and granular formation.Small intestinal tumor was detected in 1 patient with pathological finding of high grade dysplasia.Jejunal ulcer was detected in 1 patient.Multiple polyps were found in 1 patient after jejunal anastomosis,which were then treated with endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC).No abnormalities were found in 3 other patients.No complications occurred during and after the procedure.The maneuver of spiral enteroscopy and APC were same as that of balloon enteroscopy.Conclusion Spiral enteroscopy is simple and convenient to operate,which is of great potential in clinical use.

Objective To study the right ventricular function of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism by using color Doppler ultrasound.Methods 31 patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism,compared with 31 vohnteers,were enrolled in this study.The right ventricular anterior wall movement,right ventricular end diastolic volume,right ventricular ejection fraction,and myocardial performance index were observed by echocardiography.Resuits The right atrium diameter,right ventricles diameter,right ventrieular end diastolic volume and pulmonary artery inner diameter in study group were much larger than that in control group (P<0.01),and the right ventricular anterior wall movement and right ventrieular ejection fraction decreased in study group (P<0.01).Tricuspidal annular E peak velocity tended to be decreased,isovolumie relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time were prolonged and myocardial performance index was increased (P<0.01).Right ventricular myocardial performance index showed significant correlation with right ventrieular ejection fraction (r=0.78,P<0.01),isovolumic relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time(rl=0.88,r2=0.57,P<0.01).Conclusion The right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary thromboembelism is decreased and myocardial performance index is a sensitive index which can be used to reflect right ventricular function in pulmonary thromboembolism.

?AIM:To investigate the correlation between dry eye and different degrees of diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) in type 2 diabetic patients.?METHODS: In the cross-sectional study, 340 patients (340 eyes) with type 2 diabetes were enrolled. Tear film function tests including tear meniscus height, tear film breakup time ( BUT ) , fluorescein staining, Schirmer Ⅰtest were performed followed by surveying questionnaires about dry eye. Retinal status was evaluated by retinal color photography and indirect ophthalmoscopy exam with dilated pupils to evaluate DR and whether companied by macular edema.?RESULTS:The prevalence of dry eye was 49. 41%. The mean duration of diabetes in patients with dry eye was 11.15±7.07a, while 6.92±5.45a without dry eye(P<0.01). Dry eye had the positive correlation to the development of DR. The incidence of dry eye in people with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy ( NPDR ) , moderate NPDR, severe NPDR and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) was 1. 097 times, 1. 724 times, 2. 86 times and 5. 43 times respectively, compared with people without DR. The occurrence of dry eye in people with macular edema increased by 3. 697 times compared with people without macular edema.?CONCLUSION: Dry eye was more prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes. The incidence of dry eye increased gradually with the occurrence and development of diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To detect the expression and function of ZNRF3 in different kinds of thyroid cancer tissues and cells.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of ZNRF3 protein in 35 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma and 10 cases of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma.The expressions of ZNRF3 gene in TPC-1 and 8505C were detected by RT-PCR,and the cell lines were derived from papillary thyroid carcinoma and poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma respectively.After silenced ZNRF3 gene expression with lentivirus,the proliferation ability of TPC-1 cells were detected with CCK-8,the invasion and metastasis ability of TPC-1 cells were detected with Transwell.Results According to results of immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR,the expressions of ZNRF3 in papillary thyroid carcinoma cells and tissues were higher than those in poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma cells and tissues,the differences were statistically significant (4.83±0.44 vs.3.13 ±0.59,t =2.20,P <0.05;1.01±0.06 vs.0.21±0.04,t =11.80,P<0.01).After ZNRF3 geng silencing,according to the results of CCK8,the proliferation ability of TPC-1 cells was significantly enhanced in 72 h,the difference was statistically significant (0.96 ± 0.10 vs.0.64 ± 0.05,t =3.19,P < 0.05);and according to the results of Transwell,the TPC-1 cell's invasion (0.12 ± 0.01 vs.0.09 ±0.00,t =5.48,P<0.01) and migration (0.22 ±-0.01 vs.0.17 ±0.01,t =4.58,P <0.05) also increased,the differences were statistically significant.Conclusion The expression of ZNRF3 in papillary thyroid carcinoma is higher than that in poorly differentiated thyroid cancer.ZNRF3 is tumor suppressor gene in the thyroid tumors.

Objective To study the morphological characteristics of craniofacial contour in ageing.Methods Craniofacial morphology was examined in a sample of 20 young men and 20 old men.By multi-slice helical CT,a computer reconstruction technique was used to produce three dimensional images and 3-D reconstruction data were analyzed quantitatively.Results Compared with the young men,old men increased with midface(Zy-Zy),lower face(Go-Go),supraorbital projection(Fb-Sr,T-So),midface depth (N-Po),and lower facial depth(T-Gn),and decreased with maxillary height(N-Sd) and upper facial width(Ft-Ft,T-T).Conclusion Facial width and depth and supraorbital projection tend to be increased and facial height decreased with ageing.
