Objective To observe the ultrastructural alteration and healing characteristics of osteoporotic fracture, and to elucidate its cellular mode of healing. Methods Eighty female SD rats of 8 months old, which had the weight of 290 to 340 g, were randomized into two groups of 40 each: the osteoporotic fracture model(OPFM) and the common fracture model(CFM). After anesthesia, the bilateral posterior transperitoneal approach was performed in the OPFM group and the bilateral ovaries were removed; and in the CFM group, only the sham operations were performed. Three months later, the fracture of femoral middle shaft were created and fixed with a Kirschner pin through medullary cavity. The callus of each rat was examined by transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) in 5 days and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 weeks postoperatively. Results TEM showed that the number of chondrocyte in OPFM group was greater, but function was lower than that of CFM group. Volume of collagen secreted by the chondrocyte was less and arranged irregularly during the fracture healing period in OPFM group. Number and function of osteoblasts in OPFM group were lower than that of CFM group. Extracellular collagen was disordered and sparse, but function of osteoclasts in OPFM group was more active than that of CFM group. The SEM showed that the collagen in callus of CFM group was dense and arranged in good order or pyknotic. Conclusion The fracture healing of the osteoporotic fractures is due to the decrease of the osteoblastic formation and the increase of the osteoclastic resorption as well as the poor bony healing quality.

Objective To observe the expression of platelet-derived growth factor A(PDGF-A) and PDGF-?R in callus during osteoporotic fracture healing and to explore further into the mechanism or effect of PDGF-A and PDGF-?R on osteoporotic fracture healing. Methods The expression and change of PDGF-A and PDGF-?R in different period of osteoporotic fracture healing(5, 7, 14, 28, 42 days) were investigated by means of immunohistochemistry(ABC method). Results There were different cells origin (chondrocyte, osteoblast, osteocyte, vascular endothelial cell, et al) and degree of expression of PDGF-A and PDGF-?R in callus during different period of osteoporotic fracture healing. Conclusion PDGF-A moderates and participates in osteoporotic fracture healing. The decrease of osteoporotic fracture repair capacity may correlate with abnormality of PDGF-A secretion.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of melittin on apoptsis and necrosis of osteosarcoma cell line U2 OS in vitro. METHODS: Osteosarcoma cell line U2 OS was treated with melittin. The growth and proliferation was observed by MTT assay and cell counting, and the necrosis was estimated by Trypan blue staining. The cell apoptsis, Fas and Apo2. 7 expression were detected by cytometer. RESULTS: The data showed that melittin could inhibit the proliferation of U2 OS dose-dependently at 16 and 64 mg/L. Cell apoptsis was detected by cytometer, when the cells were treated by 16 mg/L and 32 mg/L of melittin respectively, and the percentages of Fas and Apo2. 7 positive cells were increased. CONCLUSION: Melittin inhibits the proliferation of osterosarcoma cell line through up-regulating Fas expression and inducing apoptsis.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacies of electroacupuncture plus rehabilitation training versus electroacupuncture alone in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation and evaluate the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture plus rehabilitation training. Method Seventy-two patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 36 cases and a control group of 36 cases. The control group received electroacupuncture at Huatuo jiaji(Ex-B2) points. In addition to electroacupuncture, the treatment group received lumbodorsal muscle stretch training according to the outcome (forward flexion and backward extension) obtained using the Turgunmed testing and evaluating system. Isokinetic muscle strength and the activity were measured and the ODI lumbago score and the VAS pain score were recorded before and after treatment. Result There were statistically significant differences in isokinetic muscle strength and the VAS pain score (P<0.01,P<0.05) but no in the activity and the ODI lumbago score (P>0.05) between the treatment and control groups. Conclusion Electroacupuncture plus rehabilitation training is more effective than electroacupuncture alone in improving isokinetic muscle strength and the VAS pain score in patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.

Objective To analysis of risk factors for left atrial thrombosis in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis.Methods From January 2001 to December 2008, 2277 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis underwent operations in our hospital. There were 737 males and 1540 female, the age ranged from 19 to 84 years [average (50.9 ±10.2) years]. Left atrial thrombosis group (554 cases) and no thrombosis group (1723 cases) were divided, retrospectively collected data were analyzed with univariate and multivariate Logistic regression. Results 12 bvariables, including age, mitral valve orifice area, left atrial diameter, left ventricular diastole diameter, CRP, gender , degree of mitral stenosis, or regurgitation, degree of bicuspid regurgitation, degree of pulmonary hypertension, atrial fibrillation and heart function had statistic difference between two groups. With multivariate Logistic regression for these 12 factors, age, mitral valve orifice area, left atrial diameter, degree of mitral regurgitation and atrial fibrillation were found to be the affecting factors for left atrial thrombosis in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis. Conclusion For patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis, age, mitral valve orifice area, left atrial diameter and atrial fibrillation are the risk factors for left atrial thrombosis. Mitral regurgitation is a protective factor for left atrial thrombosis.

Objective To explore the role of the polymorphism of HLA-DRB1/DPB1 in patients with multiple scle-rosis (MS) and optica neuromyelitis (NMO). Methods Fifty-three patients with MS, 30 patients with NMO and 93 normal controls were enrolled in the present study. The HLA-DRB1/DPB1 gene polymorphism and allele frequencies were deter-mined by sequencing-based typing. All the subjects were Southern Han Chinese and were born in Southern China. Re-sults The frequencies of DPB1*0501 were higher in NMO patients than in controls, P=0.001, P (corrected)=0.022. The frequencies of DRB1*1602 DPB1*0501 haplotype were higher in NMO patients than in MS patients, P<0.001,P (cor-rected)=0.040. Conclusions There is significant difference in HLA-DRB1/DPB1 gene polymorphism between MS and NMO patients in a Southern Han Chinese population. The HLA-DPB1*0501 allele might be the susceptibility gene poly-morphism of NMO.
