Objective To explore the effects of ligustrazine (TMP) on acute drug -induced free radical for-mation in guinea pig cochlear ,and to explore possible mechanisms of TMP on gentamycin(GM)-induced ototoxici-ty .Methods Sixty guinea pigs were randomly divided into four groups ,control group ,GM group ,TMP group and TMP+GM group .GM group were injected with GM 120 mg/kg per day .TMP group were injected with TMP 40 mg/kg per day .TMP+GM group were injected with GM and TMP at the same dosage .Control group were injected with normal saline .All groups were injected for consecutive 10 days .Before injection and one day after the last injec-tion ,ABR thresholds were measured .Biochemical assays of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1 ,SOD2 ,T -SOD) activity and ma1ondia1dehyde(MDA) content in guinea pig cochlear were detected by TBA .Results After the injection , ABR thresholds in GM group were significantly increased compared with those of in control group (P<0 .01) ,with significant difference between GM +TMP and GM group(P<0 .01) .Before and after the experiment ,ABR thresholds in control group were almost unchanged(P>0 .05) .SOD activity was significantly decreased while MDA content was increased in cochlear tissues after GM injection (P<0 .05) .Co -treatment with TMP evidently enhanced SOD activity and decreased MDA content (P<0 .05) .Conclusion TMP may enhance SOD activity and prevent lipid per-oxidation ,thus alleviate GM ototoxicity ,and improve auditory function .

Objective The purpose of our study was to report the results of using arthroscopic Remplissage and Bankart repair in patients who had an engaging Hill-Sachs lesion with significant glenoid bone loss. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 49 consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic Remplissage and Bankart repair for anterior shoulder instability with a mean duration of follow-up of 29.0 months (24-35 months). At the time of surgery the mean age of 42 men and 7 women was 28.4 years. All patients were diagnosed as recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation with a bony lesion of glenoid and an engaging HillSachs lesion. An arthroscopic Remplissage and Bankart repair using metal anchor was performed in all cases.ASES score, Constant-Murley score and Rowe score were used to evaluate the stability and the function of the shoulder. Results Patients' active forward elevation significantly(P=0.007) improved from 162.9°±17.1°preoperatively to 170.9°±7.4° at final follow-up. The external rotation was 56.0°±17.6° before the surgery compared with the 54.1°±17.1° postoperatively(P=0.511 ). The ASES score, Constant-Murley score and Rowe score was 84.7±11.3, 93.3±8.7 and 36.8±8.5 preoperatively compared with 96.0±3.4, 97.8±3.6 and 89.8±12.5 postoperatively. Significant difference could be found with regard to ASES score (P=0.000), ConstantMurley score (P=0.005) and Rowe score (P=0.000). One redislocation happened and a subluxation was noticed in three patients (8.3%). Conclusion Arthroscopic Remplissage combined with Bankart repair can achieve satisfactory for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation accompany with engaging Hill-Sachs lesion.

Objective To establish a TaqMan probe-based real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR ( real-time PCR) for the quantitative and rapid detection of viral reservoir in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from rhesus monkeys with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection and to evaluate its preliminary application. Methods A pair of primers and one TaqMan probe were designed ac-cording to the conserved sequence of SIVmac239 strain for real-time PCR amplification. A length of 2 090 bp of nucleotide fragment was digested from the plasmid p239SpSp5 containing 5′-end long segments of SIV-mac239 strain by restriction enzymes EcoRⅠand SpeⅠ. The standards used for quantitative detection of SIV DNA in peripheral blood samples were prepared by a 10-fold serial dilution and used for graphing the stand-ard curve. The numbers of SIV DNA ( copies per 106 PBMCs) in rhesus monkeys during acute and chronic phases of SIVmac239 infection were determined and the virological characteristics of SIV DNA at different phages of infection were analyzed. Results A linear positive correlation between cycle threshold ( Ct) val-ues and concentrations (10 copies/μl to 109 copies/μl) of the standards was found. High levels of SIV DNA were monitored in SIV-infected monkeys 14 to 22 days after acute infection. The levels of SIV DNA in the acute phase of infection were about 1 to 2 logs higher than those in the chronic phase of infection. The num-bers of SIV DNA ( copies per 106 PBMCs) were 1 log lower than the SIV viral load in peripheral blood of the same monkey. The ratios of SIV DNA load to SIV RNA load ( DNA/RNA) in chronic phase of infection were higher than those in the acute phase. Conclusion The established TaqMan probe-based real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was a highly sensitive and specific assay for the detection of SIV DNA with an advantage of wide linear range. It could be used for the quantitative evaluation of latent reservoirs of SIV.

Objective To explore the methods of Y-V vascular pedicle lengthening technique for cover-age of the defect of great toe after wrap-around flap transfer, and decrease the morbidity of donor site in great toes. Methods Fifteen patients received three kinds of flap for immediate resurfacing of donor defect of the great toes during wrap-around flap transfer, all flaps were harvested with Y-V vascular pedicle lengthening technique. Among them, 9 cases received the free lateral tarsal flaps transplantation for coverage of defect in donor great toes, 5 cases was repaired by medial tarsal flaps, and only one was treated by the medial plantar flap. Results All the flaps survived postoperatively. The medial plantar flap encountered the venous crisis in postoperative 3 days, and regained the normal blood supply after continuous bleeding for 2 days. All patients were satisfied with cosmetic and functional outcome in average 10- month follow-up. The appearance and sensory function of donor toe repaired by medial tarsal flaps was best among three ones. Conclusion Depending on the Y-V vascular pedicle lengthening technique, the local pedical flaps of foots are enlarged scope for coverage of great toe after wrap-around flap harvest, which can decrease the complication of donor site at the most.
