[Objective]To refine operative indications of rotating hinge prostheses and report the medium term results of these implants,and to analyze the reasons for postoperative complications.[Method]From 1999 to 2007,42 Endo-Model(Link) rotating hinge prostheses were used in 34 patients.The cases were all gonarthrosis with severe genu varus,genu valgus or flexion contracture.Bone defect or instability was found in these cases before operation.The mean follow-up was 6.4 years(2.3-10.4 years).[Result]One case of deep infection,and one periprosthetic fracture were noted.And 3 cases of patella subluxation or tilt were detected by postoperative X-ray.All patients had excellent pain relief and restoration of walking capability.The average HSS score improved from 40.5 points to 89 points after surgery.[Conclusion]Besides being used in revision surgery,rotating hinge prostheses are indicated in primary arthroplasties for patients with severe ligament laxity,substantial deformity or bone losses.With appropriate indication selection and accurate operative skill,satisfactory medium term result can be obtained.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase(PARP) is a protein-modifying and nucleotide-polymerizing enzyme. As a critical element in DNA repair, PARP can be activated by DNA strand breaks. Excessive activation of PARP, however, can deplete NAD + and ATP, leads to cell death. Cleavage of PARP by activated caspase-3 play an important role in cell apoptosis.

Objective To explore the effects of CD4+CD25+Treg cell on the allograft after infusion of dendritic cells (DCs) with low expression of CD40 from donor in mouse heart transplantation.Methods In vitro,mouse bone marrow-derived DCs were infected by CD40-RNAi lentiviral vector,and tolerogenic DCs (Tol-DCs) with low expression of CD40 were prepared.A heterotopic abdominal heart transplantation model was established in mice,and the other three groups that were control group,noninfected DC group and lentivirus infected DC group were designed correspondingly.Cardiac allograft survival time was recorded and pathological grading for acute rejection was assessed on the 7 d after heterotopic abdominal heart transplantation.Concentrations of CD4+CD25+Treg cells in peripheral blood were analyzed before and after transplantation by flow cytometry.Results After 48 h infection of DCs by CD40-RNAi lentiviral vector in vitro,the expression of CD40 mRNA was down-regulated significantly,whose inhibition rate was 80.9％.The expression of CD40 was decreased from 74.37％ ±4.08％ to 40.07％ ± 4.03％ (P＜0.05) after 48 h infection.Compared with the control group and the noninfected DC group,the cardiac allograft survival time was significantly prolonged in the CD40-RNAi lentivirus infected DC group,which was (14 ± 4) d(P＜0.01) ; concentrations of CD4+CD25+Treg cells in peripheral blood were increased both on the 3 d and the 7 d after transplantation (P＜0.05) ; the pathological grading for acute rejection was decreased on the 7 d after transplantation (P＜0.05).Conclusion The CD4+CD25+Treg cell in peripheral blood was protective to cardiac allograft in prolonging its survival time in mouse heart transplantation.

Objectives To analyze the risk factors for transfusion in very low birth weight infants and to explore the strategies for prevention of anemia. Methods Neonates with gestational age <37 weeks and birth weight <1500 g admitted from January 2015 to June 2016 were included. The neonates were divided into blood transfusion group and non-blood transfusion group. The general conditions and complications were compared, and the risk factors of blood transfusion and the related factors were analyzed. Results One hundred fifty cases of very low birth weight infants were included, among whom 108 cases were from blood transfusion group and 42 cases were from non-blood transfusion group. Compared with the non-blood transfusion group, the gestational age and body weight of the blood transfusion group were smaller, the basic hemoglobin was lower, the parenteral nutrition time was longer, and the total volume of blood collection in hospital was higher, and these differences were all statistically significant (P all<0.05). The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), acute respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the blood transfusion group were higher than those in the non-blood transfusion group, and they were all statistically different (P all <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the volume of blood transfusion was higher when the gestational age and body weight were smaller, the longer parenteral nutrition was needed, and the total volume of blood taken from the hospital was higher (P all <0.05). Conclusions The gestational age, body weight, parenteral nutrition time and the total volume of blood collection in very low birth weight infants have different effects on blood transfusion risk and transfusion volume. The incidences of BPD, RDS, and PDA in infants with blood transfusion are higher.

Objective To assess the enhancement characteristic of breast lesions of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in comparison with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods Between August 2011 and March 2013,72 women with 72 lesions were enrolled.All patients underwent ultrasound,CEUS and MRI.The histopathologic results obtained from ultrasound-guided core biopsy or operation excisions were used as the reference standard.CEUS section evaluations were made similar with MRI regarding the size and shape of lesions.Different contrast enhancement patterns including homogeneous/heterogeneous,the tumor areas,the perfusion defect areas,and modality of time-intensity curve were evaluated.Pearson's correlation coefficient,Student's t-tests,and the concordance test were used for evaluation.Results Of the 72 lesions,pathologic examination revealed 56 (77.8％) malignant lesions and 16 (22.2％) benign lesions.The tumor areas measured by CEUS and MRI agreed well,with a correlation of r =0.894,P =0.000.The difference between the two measurements was not significant according to a paired t test (P =0.886).The concordance tests gave a value of the coefficient Kappa =-0.153 (P =0.061),indicating a low concordance between the results obtained with CEUS and those obtained with MRI regarding the enhanced uniformity.There were statistically significant differences in the perfusion defect areas as measured by CEUS and MRI (P =0.01).The CEUS estimates [(0.837 ± 0.827)cm2] were consistently higher than the MRI estimates [(0.576 ± 0.524)cm2].The time-intensity curve patterns between the two groups showed no correlation.Conclusions The enhancement patterns evaluated by CEUS and MRI partly agreed well.There was no direct association between the two methods regarding the enhancement patterns because of the different contrast agent.

Objective To investigate two-dimensional color Doppler commissure real-time shear wave elastrography (SWE) examination and its application value in the diagnosis of breast diseases.Methods One hundred and thirty patients (158 breast lesions) confirmed with breast disease were chosen from September 2013 to September 2014,and all patients underwent two-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound and SWE examination.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was examined to obtain maximum elasticity modulus value,average elastic modulus value and the corresponding critical value for the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions.According to the results of pathological examination,sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of two-dimensional ultrasound and SWE for the diagnosis of breast lesions were evaluated and compared.Results Of all 158 breast lesions in 130 patients,90 were malignant lesions and 68 were benign lesions.The sensitivities of two-dimensional ultrasound and SWE in diagnosis of breast cancer were 89.7％ and 89.5％,the specificities were 85.6％ and 95.3％ and the accuracy were 87.3％ and 91.4％,respectively.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis of breast cancer by combination of two-dimensional ultrasound and SWE were 98.5％,93.3％,95.6％,respectively.Conclusions Although two-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound is a commonly used method in the diagnosis of breast lesions,it has certain limitation.The specificity of diagnosis can be improved by SWE,which is a useful complement to traditional two-dimensional ultrasound technology.Combination of the two methods can significantly increase the sensitivity and accuracy of the diagnosis and provide a reliable basis for the differential diagnosis,reduce the rate of misdiagnosis,missed diagnosis and unnecessary biopsy,which has important clinical application value.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of ultrasound - guided sclerosing agent lauromacrogol injection in treating lymph leakage. Methods A total of 31 patients with postoperative lymph leakage were selected for this study. Of the 31 patients, successful conservative oppression treatment was accomplished in 16, and lauromacrogol injection had to be carried out in 15 as conservative oppression treatment failed. The patients were followed up and the results were analyzed. Results In 15 patients receiving lauromacrogol injection treatment, complete cure of lymph leak was obtained in 14 with a success rate of 93.33%. Among the 14 cases, the second lauromacrogol injection was employed in 3 at one week after the first injection. Infection occurred in another case one day after the injection , which was cured after dressing change for 15 days. Conclusion For the treatment of lymph leakage, ultrasound-guided sclerosing agent lauromacrogol injection is effective and safe.
