Objective To observe the effect of motor nerve baby-sitting and different babysitting stages on nerve regeneration in nerve root re-implantation for brachial plexus avulsion injury.Methods Twenty-four SD rats were used to induce the brachial plexus avulsion injury.C5-7 roots were avulsed and C6 anterior root was re-implanted to the spine cord via a posterior approach.Branches erupting from C6 and the branches affiliated to the musculocutaneous nerve were cut away via an anterior approach.Re-implanted C6 anterior root was connected singly with musculocutaneous nerve.After that,the end of one branch of medial pectoral nerve was sutured to the lateral musculocutaneous nerve.The animal was divided into persistence motor nerve baby-sitting group (Group A,n =12) and protophase motor nerve baby-sitting group (Group B,n =12) according to the random number table.Electrophysiological evoked potential,muscle wet weight and muscle fiber cross-sectional area were measured at postoperative 2 and 3 months.Results At postoperative 2 and 3 months,the restoration rates of motor evoked potential in Group A [(12.2 ± 3.3) % and (15.1 ± 3.5) %] revealed significant differences from these in Group B [(30.1 ±4.2)% and (54.8 ±9.6)%] (P <0.01),the restoration rates of muscle wet weight in Group A [(75.9 ± 5.3) % and (92.7 ± 8.6) %] were similar with (76.4 ± 7.3) % and (94.3 ± 4.4) % in Group B (P > 0.05),and the restoration rates of muscle fibrin cross section area in GroupA [(74.4±5.5)% and (88.5±7.5)%] were similar with (76.9±6.7)% and (92.9± 3.5) % in Group B (P > 0.05).Conclusions Motor nerve end-lateral baby-sitting can improve functional restoration of the skeletal muscle in the early stage after nerve root re-implantation,but prevent functional restoration of skeletal muscle in the late stge.On the contrary,protophase motor nerve babysitting avoid the inhibitory effect in the late stage,which gains better restoration rate of muscle motion evoked potential.

Based on the analysis of the influence of the valve pivot distance on the performance of mechanical heart valve (MHV), such as the valve opening and closing features, flow field characteristics and the valve assembly properties, value constraints of the valve pivot distance were established, and the reasonable valve was obtained by means of the finite element method. It can be shown that the central flow characteristics of the valve could be enhanced with the increasing of the ratio of pivot distance to valve inner diameter, but the plastic deformation of the ring could be liable to occur in the MHV assembly process. It is proved that the valve of specifications can be designed in similar ratio of pivot distance to valve inner diameter according to the result of the valve performance experiment.

BACKGROUND:At present, it is controversial to choose methotrexate therapy alone or triple therapy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVE:To systemical y evaluate the efficacy and safety of methotrexate therapy and methopterin+hydroxychloroquine+sulfasalazine triple therapy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
METHODS:Computer retrieval was performed on the Cochrane library, PubMed, EMBASE NRR (http://www.updatesoftware.com/National), CCT (http://www.control ed-trails.com) and the Chinese biomedical literature database. Manual retrieval was performed on Chinese major orthopedic journals. Randomized control ed trials of methotrexate therapy alone and methopterin+hydroxychloroquine+sulfasalazine triple therapy treatment for rheumatoid arthritis were col ected. Methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated. The statistical software Revman 5.0 provided by the Cochrane col aboration was used.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of four literatures in a randomized control ed trial, a total of 297 cases were included;the methodological quality was al class B. Meta-analysis results showed that blood sedimentation improvements were larger in methotrexate therapy alone than in the triple therapy [mean difference=7.01, 95%confidence interval (CI) (2.82, 11.19), P=0.001). Improvements of joints were better in triple therapy than that in single therapy [OR=0.62, 95%CI (0.41, 0.95), P=0.03). There was no significant difference in adverse events. Meta analysis could not be done in ACR, because literature did not provide detailed data. Compared with the triple therapy treatment, methotrexate therapy alone obviously reduced the sedimentation of rheumatoid arthritis in adults, but in terms of joint function improvement, triple therapy was superior to methotrexate therapy alone. Moreover, on the adverse event, there was no significant difference between the two groups. Because this system evaluation included a less number of cases, it stil needs strict large-sample randomized control ed studies to increase the strength of the evidence.

Objective To assess the application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in evaluation of the renal cortical and medullary perfusion changes before and after acute renal failure (ARF) in rabbits. Methods Rabbit ARF models were established with intramuscular 50% glycerin (12-15 ml/kg) injection into rabbits' thighs. One day before and after ARF models establishment, CEUS was performed on each rabbit. The renal perfusion time-intensity curve (TIC) was analyzed, including parameters like AT (arrival time), TTP (time to peak intensity), A (amplitude of peak intensity), AUC (area under the curve), β (slope rate of TIC) of renal cortex and medulla. Results The value of A and β before model establishment was (17.36±13.73) dB and (5.38±2.08) dB/s, respectively, both was significantly higher than those after glycerin injection ([6.59±4.25] dB and [1.58±1.41] dB/s, respectively) (P<0.05). The value of TTP and AUC before model establishment was (2.46±1.76) s and (329.31±171.70) dBs, both was significantly lower than those after injection ([5.93±4.80] s and [722.28±354.14] dBs, respectively) (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in AT of renal cortex and AT, A, TTP, AUC, β of renal medulla, nor in SCr or BUN. Conclusion CEUS can display the changes of perfusion image of the renal cortex of the ARF earlier than SCr and BUN.
