AlM: To explore the expression and significance of cysteine- rich 61 ( CCN1/Cyr61 ) in oxygen - induced retinal neovascularization ( RNV) of mice and study the inhibition effect of CCN1 specific siRNA on RNV.
METHODS:Two hundred healthy C57BL/6J mice were chosen and randomly divided into control group, hyperxia group, hyperxia control group and CCN1 treated group, with 50 mice in each group. The hyperxia control group was treated with vector plasmids by intravitreal injection. The CCN1 treated group received CCN1 siRNA recombinant plasmids by intravitreal injection. Adenosine diphosphate-ase ( ADPase) stained retina flat-mounts was performed to assess the retinal vascular profiles, HE staining was applied to count the number of vascular endothelial cell nuclei breaking through the internal limiting membrane, protein and mRNA level expression of CCN1 were measured by immunohistochemistry, Western blot and RT-PCR.
RESULTS: There were large nonperfusion area and a large number of vascular endothelial cell nuclei breaking through the internal limiting membrane ( 25. 25 ± 1. 26;23. 12 ± 1. 16 ) in the hyperxia group and the hyperxia control group. Regions of nonperfusion and vascular endothelial cell nuclei (8. 47±1. 15) were decreased in the CCN1 treated group compared to the hyperxia group and the hyperxia control group. Compared with the control group, there were high protein and mRNA expression of CCN1 in the hyperxia group and the hyperxia control group. The expression of CCN1 protein and mRNA were decreased in the CCN1 treated group compared with the hyperxia group and hyperxia control group (all P<0. 05).
CONCLUSlON: The abnormal expression of CCN1 has close relation with RNV. The development of RNV can be markedly inhibited by RNA interference targeting CCN1, which, we believe, will provide new molecular targets and a rationale for clinical developing new strategy for ROP therapy.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of ilioischial plating through modified Stoppa and iliac fossa approaches for complex acetabular fractures. Methods A consecutive series of 40 patients with complex acetabular fracture were treated operatively from January 2014 to February 2015. Of them, 20 were treated through modified Stoppa plus iliac fossa approaches as an experimental group ( including 12 males and 8 females with a mean age of 46. 8 ± 10. 3 years ) . The anterior column was stabilized with a recon-struction plate for the iliac wing along the iliopectineal line to the pubis in all cases. The posterior column was fixed with a newly developed ilioischial plate running from the ilium to the ischial ramus. The other 20 patients ( 10 males and 10 females with a mean age of 45. 6 ± 11. 7 years ) served as a control group, treated with a reconstruction plate for the conventional posterior column fixation through the Kocher-Langenbeck approach. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operative time, intraoperative blood loss, reduction and functional recovery of the hip. Results The 40 patients obtained an average follow-up of 18 months ( from 8 to 24 months ) . The experimental group reported significantly shorter operation time ( 2. 1 ± 0. 7 hours ) and signifi-cantly less intraoperative bleeding ( 320. 8 ± 100. 4 mL ) than the control group ( 2. 9 ± 0. 6 hours and 621. 6 ± 118. 7 mL, respectively ) ( P <0. 05 ) . According to modified Matta's criteria for reduction, the experimental group had 15 excellent, 3 good, one fair and one poor cases ( giving an excellent to good rate of 90%) while the control group had 17 excellent, one good, one fair and one poor cases ( giving an excellent to good rate of 90%) . According to the modified Merle d'Aubigné and Postel scoring for the functional recovery of the af-fected hip at the final follow-ups, the experimental group had 14 excellent, 3 good, 2 fair and one poor cases ( giving an excellent to good rate of 85%) while the control group had 12 excellent, 4 good, 3 fair and one poor cases (giving an excellent to good rate of 80%). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the above comparisons ( P> 0. 05 ) . There were no significant differences in the MOS item short form health survey score and postoperative complication rate between the experimental group and the control group. Conclu-sion Ilioischial plating through modified Stoppa and iliac fossa approaches has advantages of reliable fixa-tion, limited invasion, less intraoperative blood loss and fewer complications for complex acetabular fractures.

Objective To investigate the effects of mirror visual feedback (MVF) and electromyographic biofeedback (EMGBF) on upper extremity function in hemiplegic patients after stroke based on task-oriented training. Methods 90 patients with hempiplegia after stroke were randomly divided into control group (n=30), EMGBF group (n=30) and MVF group (n=30). All patients accepted routine rehabilitation and task-oriented training once a day for 8 weeks. The EMGBF group also accepted EMGBF, and the MVF group accepted MVF in addition. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and the Upper Extremity Function Test (UEFT), and their integrated electromyogram (iEMG) of affected upper extremities were recorded before and after treatment. Results All the groups improved in scores of FMA and UEFT, as well as the iEMG after treatment (P<0.05), and ranked as the MVF group, the EMGBF group and the control group from improving more to less (P<0.05). Conclusion Mirror visual feedback combined with electromyographic biofeedback may further promote the recovery of upper limb function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke based on task-oriented training.

BACKGROUND:Elderly patients with degenerative lumbar degeneration often appear insufficient holding power of pedicle screw in spine surgery, which is prone to occur de-pinning and leads to insecure fixation. How to increase the holding power of screws has become a hot research. OBJECTIVE:To observe the early clinical effect of pedicle screws with cement augmentation for treating lumbar degenerative diseases in elderly patients. METHODS:A total of 65 old patients with lumbar degenerative diseases received a treatment between August 2012 and April 2014, and were divided into two groups according to the treatment strategy:treatment group (n=24;internal fixation of pedicle screws with cement augmentation) and control group (n=41;routine internal fixation of pedicle screws). General conditions of patients in two groups were observed and compared. Visual analog scale (VAS) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score system were used for evaluating the lumbar and back pain, and restoration of neurological function in lower limbs respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of the patients successful y received the surgery and then were fol owed up from 3 to 20 months. The anterioposterior and lateral X-ray film revealed no loosening, loss, fracture of the screws, and no loss of intervetebral space height was found. There was no significant difference in the blood loss and hospital stay between two groups (P>0.05). JOA at postoperative 3 and 6 months, and VAS score at postoperative 3 months were significantly improved after the treatment of pedicle screws with cement augmentation, when compared to control group (P<0.05). VAS scores showed no difference at 6 months postoperatively in two groups (P>0.05). Pedicle screws with cement augmentation for treating lumbar degenerative diseases have the advantages of improving the screws holding strength, reconstructing the stability of lumbar vertebra and obtaining clinical efficacy on degenerative spine.

Objective To discuss the efficiency of fibrin glue amikacin complex in controlling infection by observing the changes of leukocyte and neutrophilic granulocyte classifying counts after fibrin glue amikacin complex treated deep wound. Methods Clinical case-control study was used in the study. All patients were divided randomly into test group (100 patients) and control group (100 pa-tients), matched by wound location, wound size, time from injury to operation, combined injury and gen-eral antibiotics use to compare leukocyte and neutrophilic granulocyte classifying counts between both groups and observe possible toxic and side-effect in test group. Results Firstly, the test group and control group had the comparability in aspects of gender distribution, average age and injury mechanism (P >0.05). Secondly, there was statistical difference in classifying counts of leukocyte and neutrophilic granulocyte in the test group at different time points (P <0.05). The classifying counts of leukocyte and neutrophilic granalocyte peaked at 24 hours after operation, then decreased with treatment time and reached the lowest at 24 days after surgery or at day 1 before discharge. Thirdly, there existed statistical significance upon leukocyte counts in the test group and control group except for at day 1 after operation (P > 0.05), with lower counts in test group than control group. In aspect of neutrophil classifying counts, there was statistical significance (P < 0.05) at other time points in beth groups except for time points at days 1,2 and 12 (P >0.05). The test group had lower neutrophil classifying counts compared with con-trol group at different time points. Conclusion The fibrin glue amikacin complex has good clinical effort and high security, with no toxic or side effort in treatment of deep wound infection, and is worth clinical applicaiton.
