Objective To conduct a hiomechanical comparison of the four common internal fixation methods for the anterior eruciate ligament(ACL)avulsion fractures of displaced tibial eminence.Methods Sixteen fresh cadaver knee joints were used and randomized into four equal groups of four fixation methods:antegrade wiring group, retrograde wiring group,suturation group,and intramedullary screw group.The knee joint specimens were fixed at flexion of 30?and subject to continuous stretch stresses of 30 N,60 N and 90 N respectively on a material testing machine(MTS 858 Bionix test system,USA)which conducted a simulated Lachman test.The specimens were scanned at different angles by a three dimensional laser scanner.Data were recorded and processed by image software to es- tablish three-dimensional structure models of femur,tibia and knee joint.The test results were analyzed statistically on a computer.Results There were no obvious differences between each fixation group in the length change of ACL when the stresses were 30 N and 60 N(P>0.05).Under 90 N stress,however,the mean length change between the femoral and tibial attachments of ACL was the smallest(4.8?1.7)mm(2.5 to 6.2 mm)in the suturation group(P<0.05). There were no distinct differences between the intramedullary screw group and the retrograde wiring group in the changes of A CL shift(P=0.214).The average front shift in the retrograde wiring group was(6.2?1.2)mm(4.8 to 8.2 mm) and significantly smaller than that in the antegrade wiring group(P<0.05).The antegrade wiring group made the largest average front shift under different stresses and its average front shift was(7.2?1.3)mm(5.6 to 8.7 mm). Conclusions The knee joint stability provided by the suturation fixation is distinctly better than that by the other three fixation methods.The antegrade wire fixation provides the poorest knee joint stability.There is hardly any difference between intramedullary screw fixation and retrograde wiring fixation.

Temporal and spatial expressions of ?-catenin investigated in the hair follicle and epidermis of the hoof periphery in bovine embryonic development. IHC (immunohistochemical method) was applied to qualitatively detect the temporal and spatial expressions of ?-catenin. ?-catenin was detected in suprabasal, epidermal basal layer, placode, hair bud in early phase(E68~93),and expressed strongly in epidermal basal layer, placode, and hair bud, in suprabasal expressed less strongly; in metaphase(E94~184), ?-catenin was detected in epidermis, hair peg, and in suprabasal, epidermal basal layer, hair follicle bulge, inner root sheath, outer root sheath, follicular infundibulum expressed less strongly; in late phase(E184~225), ?-catenin expressed weakly in epidermal basal layers, while expressed strongly in epidermal keratinocytes. The result suggested that ?-catenin plays an important role in hair follicle morphogenesis in the periphery of bovine hoof in bovine embryos.

Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2004;25(4):448-448
It is well known that the arterial baroreflex(ABR)plays a key role in the regulation of heart rate and stabilization of blood pressure.Currently,it appears that ABR dysfunction is involved in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease states.Since the mid-1990s,a number of studies have been carried out in our laboratory to explore the pathological significance of ABR function in cardiovascular damage.This minireview summarizes our research work on the topic of ABR and left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH).On the basis of discussion concerning the importance of ABR dysfunction in hypertensive LVH and sinoaortic denervation-induced LVH,we advance a new strategy for reversal of LVH,that is,restoration of impaired ABR function.We tested this hypothesis in animal models with ABR deficiency.It was found that improvement of impaird ABR function with long-term treatment of ketanserin or candesartan was accompanied by reversal of LVH.The preliminary results indicate that it is feasible to target ABR for treatment of LVH.

Objective To explore main technical points and clinical efficacy of individualized stepwise multiple embolization treatment for refractory hemoptysis. Methods To retrospectively analyze materials of 103 patients treated by individualized stepwise multiple embolization. According to disease categories, individualized stepwise multiple embolization treatment with polyvinyl alcohol and loaded sodium alginate microspheres as basic embolization agent were performed, after the type, number, abnormal branches, pulmonary circulation and systematic pulmonary shunt of targeted vessels were confirmed through radiography. To judge short(less than 3 months), medium(3 to 6 months) and long term(more than 6 months) efficacy, resolution of hemoptysis after operation were assessed. To evaluate efficacy of individualized stepwise multiple embolization treatment for refractory hemoptysis, Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used. According to the features of target vessels to supply blood, patients were classified into with SPS and without SPS. By using Log-Rank test, the effective rates of one-year were compared between them. Results Out of 103 patients, 215 target vessels were demonstrated, among which individualized stepwise multiple embolization was for 196 target vessels, peripheral embolization for 8 vessels, and main trunk embolization in 11 patients. The visits after operation were made to 103 patients after 6 to 50 months, with the medium of 21 months. Hemoptysis was instantly resolved in 97.1%(100/103). The effective rates were 94.5%,93.2%, 89.7%,88.9%,85.2%and 76.6%for one, three, six months and one, two and three years after operation. In 103 patients, patients with SPS were 22 and without SPS were 81. One-year effective rates with and without SPS were (69.50 ± 0.11)% and (98.30 ± 0.03)% , respectively (χ2=11.662,P<0.01). Conclusion Individualized stepwise multiple embolization treatment shows excellent short-term and mid-long term efficacy in the treatment of refractory hemoptysis.
