Objective To evaluate the effects of propofol on apoptosis and invasiveness of human lung cancer cell line A549 cells.Methods Human lung cancer cell line A549 were seeded onto 96-well plates (100 μl/well) and 6-well plates (2 000 μl/well) at a density of 2× 105 cells/ml,and cultured for24 h at 37 ℃ in 5% CO2.The cells were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =60 each) using a random number table:dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group and propofol group (group P).In group P,propofol with the final concentration of 100 μmoYL was added.In group DMSO,0.5% DMSO with the final concentration of 0.5% was added.At 24 h of incubation with drugs,caspase-3 expression was detected by high content screening (HCS); the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2) was detected by Western blot analysis.At 0.5,1 and 5 h of incubation,ERK1/2 expression was also measured using Western blot analysis.Results Compared with group DMSO,the expression of caspase-3 was up-regulated,the expression of MMP-2 was down-regulated,ERK1/2 expression was up-regulated at 0.5 of incubation and down-regulated at 1 h of incubation,and no significant change was found in ERK1/2 expression at 5 h of incubation in group P.Conclusion Propofol can promote apoptosis in A549 cells and inhibit invasiveness of human lung cancer cell line A549 cells.

BACKGROUND: Autologous bone graft was always applied to repair bony cavity defect produced by benign bone tumor.OBJECTIVE: Taking autogenous bone graft for repairing bony cavity defect caused by bone tumor or tumor-like pathological change as control standard, to observe transplantation of deproteined bovine cancellous bone combined with autogenous red marrow in occluding the residual cavity and the density of newly formed bone.DESIGN: A randomized grouping design, controlled observation SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, the 175 Hospital of Chinese PLA PARTICIPANTS:We recruited 175 cases of bony cavity defect who received treatment in the Department of Orthopaedics, the 175 Hospital of Chinese PLA from July 1993 to July 1998. They were randomly assigned into two groups: experimental group and control group. There were 63 cases treated in the experimental group. The average disease-suffering time was (6.2±2.1) months and bone defect was (136±30) mm3. There were 62 cases treated in the control group. The average disease-suffering time was (6.1±2.3)months, and bone defect was (133±37) mm3.METHODS: Deproteined bovine cancellous bone combined with autogenous red marrow was transplanted in the experimental group and autologous bone graft was applied in the control group. We curetted tumor completely, cauterized the wound with alcohol of 0.95 volume fraction, then curetted the area of cauterization to make it bled. Bone graft was applied.The quantity of implanted bone should be abundant, and disposed compactly. The X-ray films of the first week after operation were used as a standard for density of new bone growth. X-ray films were taken at the 3rd,6th and 8th months postoperatively, and the X-ray films of the eighth months after operation were used as a standard.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: To compare the bone union in two groups with a standard of residual cavity occluding and density of bone growth.RESULTS: All patients were followed up for an average of 20 months.One case was lost six months after operation. And two cases were lost eighteen months after operation respectively in the experimental group and control group. After 8 months of operation, residual cavities of bone defect of 44 cases in experimental group and 46 cases in control group were disappeared. Palingenetic bone fused with left bone organization. Its density was the same as or higher than normal bone organization. Residual cavities of 12 cases in experimental group and 10 cases in control group were disappeared basically. The density of palingenetic bone was approximate to normal bone organization. To compare with autologous bone graft, deproteined bovine cancellous bone and an autogenous red marrow had an identical effect for repairing bony cavity defect.CONCLUSION: Bony cavity defect produced by benign bone tumor is often repaired by bone transplantation. To explore the substitutable grafting materials of autogenous bone in this study, a composite material composed of deproteined bovine cancellous bone and an autogenous red marrow (DBCAM) is applied to repair the bony cavity defect.

BACKGROUND: After internal fixation is applied to femoral shaft fracture with medial cortical defect, the fixation device is often bended and broken due to the stress on it. So far, reliable methods have not been found to solve this problem in clinic.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the biomechanical stability of the allograft bone plate after a bony defect of the medial cortex is reconstructed with allograft bone plate.DESIGN: A randomized controlled experimental study.SETTING: This trial was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics, the 175 Hospital of Chinese PLA, and Laboratory of Biomechanics, First Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: This trial was conducted in Laboratory of Medical Biomechanics, First Military Medical University. MTS858 Biomix biomaterial testing machine was used to simulate model of femoral shaft fracture on 3male adult femurs donated voluntarily by their relatives, aged 23, 24 and 28years old.INTERVENTIONS: The fracture model of medial cortical defect was made in the femurs. Different kinds of fixation were applied and the results were compared between fixated femurs and the normal ones. The fixations included steel plate fixation(fixation for group 1 ), steel plate with allograft bone plate fixation(fixation for group 2), steel plate with allograft bone plate fixation and reduction of the medial cortical fragment(fixation for group 3).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The vertical compression displacement under 500 N load, three-point bending strength under 10 N and anti-torsional angle under 300 N load are all measured.RESULTS: The vertical compression displacement and three-point bending strength of the control group were insignificantly different from those of the fixation group 3 ( P > 0.05), but significantly different from those of the fixation group 1 and 2 ( P < 0.05). The anti-torsional angle of the control group was significantly different from that of the three fixation groups( P < 0. 05) . The result of fixation in fixation group 1 was the worst, better in fixation group 2and the best in fixation group 3.CONCLUSION: When there is a medial cortical defect in the femur, reconstruction with a bone plate can recover the integrity of the femoral medial cortex, and the successful rate of the plate internal fixation is increased.

This paper explained the etiology and mechanism of atrial fibrillation based on the theory of "deficiency qi stagnation" for directing the treatment. It is believed that “deficiency qi” is the root of atrial fibrillation, which can be divided into deficiency of pectoral qi in heart and lungs of the upper jiao, deficiency of center qi in spleen and stomach of the middle jiao, and deficiency of original qi in kidney of the lower jiao, and stagnation of stasis, phlegm dampness, cold dampness and other pathogenic qi as the pathological basis of atrial fibrillation, which lead to the development of atrial fibrillation by constraint to heat, or stagnation of cold and dampness, or pathogens stagnation in heart and lung. The therapeutic principles is to supplement deficiency and remove stagnation, and Qingliang Buqi Tiaomai Decoction (清凉补气调脉汤) is often used to supplement the center and boost qi, rectify qi and unblock vessels; Qingliang Huashi Tiaomai Decoction (清凉化湿调脉汤) is often used to strengthen the middle and remove phlegm, dry dampness and unblock vessels; Ziyang Wenhua Tiaomai Decoction (滋养温化调脉汤) is often used to bank up original qi, supplement yin and tonify yang, dissipate cold and unblock vessels.
