OBJECTIVE:To explore the treatment effect and complication prevention of various stent materials for intracranial arteriostenosis.METHODS:A computer-based online search of Science Direct and Ei database (1998-01/2009-10) was performed for English articles with the key words of "intracranial arteriostenosis,stent placement" In addition,CNKI and CBM database (1998-01/2009-10) were searched for related Chinese articles with the same key words in Chinese.Moreover,related works were manually searched.Studies regarding various stent materials for intracranial arteriostenosis were included,including basic and clinical experiments.RESULTS:Multicenter studies of worldwide show that stent implantation displays obvious advantages in treating carotid artery stenosis compared with carotid endarterectomy.Recently,with developing of balloon and stent compliance,as well as stent technology,and application of various novel materials and cerebral protection device,stent has become a safe and effective therapy for intracranial arteriostenosis.However,complications following stent implantation,such as restenosis,ischemic stroke,cerebral hemorrhage hypertransfusion syndrome,and cerebral angiospasm,limit its application.CONCLUSION:The safety and efficacy of intracranial stent implantation remains validation of multicenter and perspective studies.High incidence of restenosis following stent implantation requires further improvement.

Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is defined as endometrial tissue superficial to the peritoneum. Many cases of AWE are associated with cesarean section scars. Thus, AWE is often misdiagnosed as a hernia or hematoma. The most common presentation of AWE is the development of a painful mass after uterine surgery. Many patients with AWE are associated with a previous surgical incision. Careful history and physical examination is essential to make correct diagnosis. Studies such as ultrasound, CT, MRI, and FNA are helpful. Medical treatment of AWEs is usually unsuccessful. Therefore, surgical treatment should be offered to every patient and the results usually are excellent. We performed a review of published literatures to demonstrate the pathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of patients having AWE.

BACKGROUND:Compared with the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs),cells from the umbilical cord blood (UCB)are considered"very young",and its proliferation and differentiation cannot decrease with age.Thus,cells from UCB are a great substitute of BMSCs.OBJECTIVE:To observe the characteristics of in vitro differentiation of UCB-MSCs into cardiomyocytes.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The observational experiment was performed at the Beijing Sijitan Hospital from March 2005 to February 2007.MATERIALS:Cells from UCB were collected from healthy arturients after signing the informed consent.METHODS:Mononuclear cells were isolated to further harvest MSCs.At the third passage,CD34,CD44 and CD90 were measured using immunofluorescence flow cytometry.After 4 weeks of 5-azacitidine treatment,myosin heavy chain,GATA4 and troponin 1 were identified using immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:β-myosin heavy chain,GATA4 and troponin I expression.RESULTS:UCB-MSCs showed a fibrolast-like morphology,clonally expanded after 5-azacitidine reatment.The immunophenotype of these clonally expanded cells is consistent with that reported for BMSCs.Immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction showed β-myosin heavy chain,GATA4 and troponin I expression.CONCLUSION:UCB-MSCs differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells,which have the characteristics of cardiomyocytes.

Objective　To investigate the early changes and clinical significance of plasma endothelin(ET) and nitric oxide(NO) in patients with acute brain injury.　Methods　The plasma ET and NO concentration at 1 day after injury were checked with radioimmunoassay and Green method in 48 cases of acute brain injury, in 42 cases of non-brain injury and in 38 healthy volunteers. 　Results　 The early plasma concentrations of ET and NO were (109.73±12.61) ng/Lf and (92.82±18.21) μmol/L, respectively, in 48 cases of acute cerebral injury, which were higher than those in the non-brain injury group［(67.90±11.33) ng/L and (52.66±12.82) μmol/L, respectively, P<0.01］ and in the normal control group ［(50.65±17.12)ng/L and (36.12±12.16) μmol/L, respectively, P<0.001］. The amounts of ET and NO in the patients with severe brain injury were (116.18±18.12) ng/L and (108.19±13.28) μmol/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the moderate brain injury group［(92.33±16.32) ng/L and (76.38±12.71) μmol/L, respectively, P<0.01］.The early levels of ET and NO were negatively related to the GCS scores of the patients with acute brain injury. The amounts of ET and NO were (126.23±15.23)ng/l and (118.18±10.12) μmol/L, respectively, in the patients with subdural hematomas, which were significantly higher than those in the patients with epidural hematomas ［(81.13±12.37) ng/L and(68.02±13.18) μmol/L, respectively, P<0.01］. The stable plasma concentrations of ET and NO at 14 days after injury in the patients with acute brain injury and with non-brain injury were similar to that in the normal controls. 　Conclusions　 ET and NO are related to the pathophysiological process in the early period of acute brain injury, and the values of ET and NO correlate positively with the clinical manifestations. The changes of plasma ET and NO can be regarded as important indexes to diagnose the severity of acute brain injury.

BACKGROUND: Wear particles factually serve as a medium carrying extensive information on the wear process involved in hip implants. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that wear particles contribute to the failure of Charnley total hip replacement.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the morphological characteristics of wear particles generated by couples of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) cups and Al2O3 femoral heads, mounted in a simulator in the presence of distilled water and explore the wear mechanism of UHMWPE cup.DESIGN: Wear tests were performed on a ball-in-socket hip simulator.SETTING: Department of Mechanical Engineering, Xuzhou Institute of Technology.MATERIALS: The molecular weight of UHMWPE selected as cup was 3 000 000. Its density was 0.935 g/cm3, hardness 30 HB, fracture strength 35 MPa, and water absorption < 0.01%. The experimental femoral head was made of alumina and zirconia (Al2O3: 87%, ZrO2: 13%). Its density was 4 g/cm3, hardness 90 HRA, tensile strength > 450 MPa, and tenacity 7 MPaM1/2.METHODS: The experiment was performed in the laboratory of tribology, China University of Mining and Technology from December 2003 to July 2005. Hip simulator was used to assess the tribological performance of Al2O3-UHMWPE at room temperature, 100 r/min, 784 N load for 1.5×106 cycles. Distilled water was used as the lubricant. Wear of UHMWPE acetabulum was measured every 3×105 cycles by taking out the acetabulum from simulator, cleaning in distilled water for 3 minutes in an ultrasonic bath, putting in an oven for 40 minutes at 80 ℃, and cooling off in a desiccator. A BT211D electronic balance (reciprocal sensibility, 0.01 mg) was used to measure the weight loss of UHMWPE acetabula according to the reference sample method to calculate the wear. A sample (20 mL) of distilled water lubricant used in test was obtained when the simulator was stopped for gravimetric analysis. Morphology of wear particles in samples and surface of worn UHMWPE acetabula were observed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The components of wear particles were determined by X-ray. Detailed measurements of the wear particles distribution were conducted by LS100(R) Laser Particle Size Analyzer (including LS SVM Plus).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphology and size distribution of wear particles; Wear mechanism and wear rate of UHMWPE acetabula.RESULTS: The wear particles showed a wide range of particle sizes, varying from 0.3 to 180 μm, most of which ranged from 5 to 20 μm. More than 99% of wear particles were UHMWPE particles, which were classified into five groups in terms of their morphological characteristics: spherical particle, tearing particle, lamellar particle, fatigued flaking and rod-shaped particle. Lamellar or cube was the predominant form of Al2O3 ceramic particles with flat surface structure and upright edges. The worn surfaces of UHMWPE cup showed evidence of multidirectional scratching, adhesive and micro-contact fatigue wear, and plastic deformation.CONCLUSION: ①The dominant wear mechanisms acting in the UHMWPE cup are abrasive wear, adhesive wear, microcosmic fatigue wear and flaking associated with plastic deformation. ②The size of particles accumulating mostly is tiny among the particle groups.

Objective To investigate the effect of serum uric acid (UA) on cardiovascular diseases in hemodialysis patients. Methods The serum level of uric acid and other laboratory indexes of 80 hemodialysis patients were detected,and the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were detected by ultrasonic cardiography examination. Results According to the serum level of UA, the hemodialysis patients were divided into 2 groups:the group with high serum level of UA and the group with normal serum level of UA. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in hypertension history,the period of hypertension history, systolic blood pressure before hemodialysis between the two groups. The serum levels of UA,creatinine, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, C-reactive protein, brain natriuretic peptide and LVMI were significantly higher,while the serum levels of albumin,pre-albumin,high density lipoprotein cholesterol, LVEF were lower in the group with high serum level of UA than those in the group with normal high serum level of UA (P<0.05) . Furthermore, the serum levels of UA in 80 patients was positively correlated to systolic blood pressure before hemodialysis, serum creatinine, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, C-reactive protein, brain natriuretic peptide, and LVMI (P<0.05), while it was negatively correlated to serum albumin, pre-albumin, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and LVEF (P<0.05) . Conclusion High serum level of uric acid is associated with the onset of cardiovascular diseases in hemodialysis patients.
