Objective To explore the feasibility of repairing and strengthening the posterior wall of the inguinal canal with laparoscopic hernioplasty using autologous anterior abdominal wall tissues.Methods From January 2001 to September 2007,173 adult patients with inguinal hernia(141 cases of indirect hernia,28 cases of direct hernia,3 cases of femoral hernia,and 1 case of obturator hernia)were treated by laparoscopic hernioplasty with autologous tissues obtained from the median,internal,and lateral umbilical folds,and the U-shape fold.Three trocars were used to perform the laparoscopy by one surgeon,who completed the intracavity suturing using two hands.Results All the 173 operations were completed without converting to open surgery.Among the 152 cases of unilateral hernia,the mean operation time was 25 min(10-40 min),while in the 21 cases of bilateral hernia,the mean operation time was 40 min(20-60 min).Postoperative complications included retroperitoneal hematoma(1 case),scrotal swelling(3),testicular hydrocele(1),subcutaneous hemorrhage at the inguinal area(2),and scrotitis(1).The patients were followed up for 1-84 months(mean 35 months),during which 3 patients had recurrence.Conclusions Laparoscopic hernioplasty with autologous tissues is feasible and safe for adult patients with inquinal hernia with advantages of short hospitalization,minimal surgical trauma,quick recovery,and low rate of recurrence.

· AIM: To investigate the complications of intravitreal triamsinolone acetonide (TA) injection in vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).· METHODS: From February 2005 to January 2007, 18patients (18 eyes) with PDR who were injected with TA in vitrectomy were observed retrospectively after surgery.· RESULTS: During a postoperative follow-up period of 3 to 6 months (mean 4.6 months), some complications including deposit of TA granules on the macular region and surface of the retina (3 eyes), postoperative vitreous hemorrhage (3eyes), elevated intraocular pressure (2 eyes) and pseudohypopyon (1 eye)were observed.· CONCLUSION: The complications after surgery such as deposit of TA granules on the macular region and surface of the retina and pseudohypopyon could be cured without any special treatment. All eyes with elevated intraocular pressure after surgery were controlled by drug. Re-operation may be an effective method for patients with unabsorbable vitreous hemorrhage after vitrectomy.

BACKGROUND:The human telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (hTERT) transfected into target cel s can play an important role in target cel proliferation and differentiation by increasing telomerase activity and maintaining telomere length. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of hTERT transfection on telomerase activity and biological characteristics of precartilage stem cel s culured in vitro. METHODS:Precartilage stem cel s cultured in vitro were subjected to hTERT gene transfection via a retrovirus vector pLXSN. Meanwhile, control and negative control groups were set up. After transfection, TRAP-ELISA assay was used to detect telomerase activity;RT-PCR and western blot employed to detect hTERT mRNA and protein expressions;cel counting kit-8 used to detect cel proliferaiton based on cel growth curve;and flow cytometry adopted to detect cel cycle and distribution. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The telomerase activity was significantly increased at 48 hours after hTERT gene was transfected into the precartilage stem cel s. After transfection of hTERT, hTERT mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased, the cel growth rate was significantly increased, the proportion of cel s at G 0/G 1 phase was decreased, and the number of S-phased cel s increased compared with the control group and negative control group. There were significant differences among the groups (P<0.05). In conclusion, hTERT transfection via retrovirus vector pLXSN can promote the proliferation of precartilage stem cel s in rats by increasing the telomerase activity.

Objectives To investigate the results of liver transplantation using steatosis liver donors in order to provide a scientific basis for the use of marginal donors.Methods From 2002 to 2011,80 of 407 were steatosis liver donors.There were 69 males and 11 females.Their age ranged from 20-54 years old.Sixteen donor livers with severe fatty liver and reperfusion injury were not used.The remaining 64 livers were divided into a S1 group (mild steatosis,n=22),a S2 group (moderate steatosis,n=25),and a S3 group (severe steatosis,n=17).A S0 group was used as a control (randomly selected fat-free liver,n=80).Results The occurrence rates of delayed graft function (DGF) in the S0,S1,S2,S3 groups were 5％,9.1％,20％,29.41％,respectively.Primary nonfunctioning occurred in 2 cases of the S3 group,which represented a 11.76％ of the S3 group (2/17),and 3.12％ of the total 64 cases (2/64).Conclusions Although the incidence rate of DGF was higher in the steatosis liver donor groups than the S0 group,there was no correlation in the mortality rate of the S1-S3 group within one year of transplantation.Attentions should be paid to the treatment of complications after steatosis liver transplantation.By minimizing ischemia-reperfusion injury,improving microcirculation,strengthening routine therapy and reducing the amount of immunosuppression,the same results could be achieved using steatosis donor liver and normal liver for transplantation.

BACKGROUND:Increasingly studies report that the normal balance of bone metabolism may be destroyed in the case of postmenopausal osteoporosis or osteoarthritis. The concrete metabolic process of bone turnover could be revealed sensitively by measuring the bone turnover markers in the serum or urine.
OBJECTIVE:To study the bone density and bone metabolic index of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO), and to discuss the characteristics of bone density and bone metabolic index in KOA and PMO.
METHODS:A total of 248 postmenopausal women were detected for bone mineral density and knee X-ray. Final y 180 patients were included in this study and were divided into three groups:KOA group, PMO group, and control group. The levels of bone turnover markers (bone alkaline phosphatase, bone gla protein, col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b) in serum from the participants were measured. The correlation between bone turnover markers and the disease progression was analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The bone mineral density in the KOA group was higher than the control group but col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide was lower. The levels of bone gla protein, col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b in serum from PMO group were higher than the control group. The decrease of col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide was associated with the incidence of KOA, and the increases of bone gla protein, col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b were associated with the incidence of PMO. The lower bone absorption can be seen in postmenopausal women with KOA. PMO patients showed a higher bone turnover rate. The difference of bone metabolism between patients with KOA and PMO led to negative relationship of bone mineral density. The serum levels of bone gla protein, col agen type I cross-linked C-telopeptide, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b can assist clinical diagnose and therapeutic effect detection of both KOA and PMO.

Objective To study the effect of field long march comprehensive training on freshmen' mental quality and mental health in military university. Methods Mental quality questionnaire for army men (MQQA), symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and trait anxiety inventory (TAI) were carried out on 330 freshmen at various stages on their military training. All data were analyzed by paired-sample t test. Results ①As compared with pre-training, all SCL-90 factor scores except depression factor decreased significantly (P<0.05); compared to barracks military training, recruits revealed a decrease (P<0.05) in all SCL-90 factors except factors on fear, paranoia and mental disorder. ②The scores of SDS and SAS displayed a“V”shape as they decreased after the early rise at the course of military training. After the barracks military training, SAS and SDS scored high (P<0.01);Compared with pre-training, TAI scores dropped significantly (P<0.01) after field long march; compared with post barracks military traning results, SAS, SDS and TAI scores of recruits after field long march decreased significantly (P<0.05). ③After barracks military training and field long march comprehensive training, recuits' mental quality factors scored no significant distinction (P>0.05). Conclusion Filed long march effectively improved mental health of military university recruits and relived their anxiety as well as depression.

BACKGROUND:Thoracolumbar spine as highly concentrated stress, often prone to vertebral fractures. With the further development of the biomechanics and anatomical structure of the spine, posterior open reduction and internal fixation with pedicle screw has been widely accepted by clinicians. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical results and safety of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation system (Viper system) used in thoracolumbar compression fractures. METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed 40 patients with thoracolumbar compression fractures from Department of Orthopedics, Changzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from January 2013 to February 2014. According to the type of graft, patients were randomly divided into experiment group and control group, with 20 patients in each group. They were respectively subjected to Viper percutaneous pedicle screw fixation system and open reduction and pedicle screw fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al vertebra got bone unions. Operative time and time to bone union were shorter in the experiment group than in the control group. Moreover, intraoperative blood loss was less in the experiment group than in the control group. Cobb’s angle, height percentage of leading edge and wedge angle were similar between the two groups. However, at 12 months after internal fixation, height percentage of leading edge was lower in the experiment group than in the control group. Visual Analogue Scale scores and Oswestry Disability Index were noticeably improved after fixation in both groups. Visual Analogue Scale scores and Oswestry Disability Index were lower in the experiment group than in the control group immediately after fixation. These results suggest that compared with open reduction and pedicle screw fixation, Viper percutaneous pedicle screw fixation system for thoracolumbar compression fractures can stably restore the structure and function of spine, and does not increase perioperative complications.
