[Abstract ] Objective The pathogenesis underlying cognitive dysfunction has yet to be fully elucidated.The article was to investigate the effects of memantine on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced spatial learning and memory impairment in C57BL/6J mice. Methods 36 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:control group (C group), lipopolysaccharide group (L group) and memantine group (M group) (n=12).Mice in C, L and M groups were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of saline, LPS and LPS plus memantine re-spectively for 7 consecutive days.On the 8th day, mice were tested in the Morris water maze, in which the latency to the platform and the propor-tion of time spent in the target quadrant were recorded .Then the mice were sacrificed and the hippocampi were harvested for the determination of expression levels of Amyloid-β(Aβ), glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Results Com-pared with C group, L group significantly prolongated the latency to the platform (71.01 ±13.21 vs 50.56 ±9.89, P<0.05), decreased the propor-tion of time spent in the target quadrant (42.58 ±7.85 vs 63.74 ±12.43, P<0.05) and increased the levels of hippocampal Aβand GSK-3β(1.75 ±0.43 vs 1.27 ±0.23, 184.0 ±18.6 vs 100.0 ±12.1, P<0.05), (75.0 ±13.5 vs 100.0 ±10.3, P<0.05), while mTOR levels decreased significantly (97.0 ±14.3 vs 75.0 ±13.5, P<0.05).Compared with L group, M group significantly prolongated the latency to the platform (61.45 ±7.65 vs 71.01 ±13.21, P<0.05), decreased the proportion of time spent in the target quadrant shortened (58.25 ±9.02 vs 42.58 ±7.85, P<0.05) and increased the expression of hippocampal Aβ(1.35 ±0.28 vs 1.75 ±0.43,92.4 ±10.8 vs 184.0 ±18.6, P <0.05). Conclusion Memantine contributes to the improvement of LPS-induced spatial learning and memory impairment, which is probably related to the changes of the expression of GSK-3βand mTOR in hippocampus.

Objective In the present study,we use GC/MS-based metabolomics approaches to make analysis of serum metabolic profiles of healthy people and the hyperactivity of liver yang type of constitution in patients with essential hypertension.Try to establish the discriminant model,to discover biomarkers (group) of the hyperactivity of liver yang type of essential hypertension,and to explore the essential material basis of Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome theory.Methods Classified according to the guiding principles of Chinese medicine research,the hyperactivity of liver yang type of constitution in male patients with essential hypertension (n=18),as well as health volunteers (n=15) were randomly selected from Guang An Men Hospital clinic,wards and medical center in the first half of 2010,selected patients with essential hypertension requirements are not taking any drugs or Chinese herbs,or stop taking the various drugs more than one week.Extracted Venous Blood of subjects fasting for 12 hours,and serum was separated through centrifugation.Serum samples are stored and at-86℃ refrigerator.Survey and evaluate endogenous metabolism in serum samples of health control group and types of syndrome mentioned above by gas chromatograph mass spectrometry (GCMS)analysis.Then,analyze the metabolites with Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis.Further use PCA to analyze the principal component factor loadings matrix analysis,and for variable scatter plot (Loading plot),significant increase or decrease the variables can be found from the figure.The combination of these variables is the lesion biomarkers group.Results Compared with the health control group,13 differentially expressed metabolites in the essential hypertension hyperactivity of liver yang type group can be identified (P＜0.05).8 metabolites were up-regulated expression:Uric acid,citrate,Octadecanoic acid,Hexadecanoic acid,Octadecadienoic acid,Leucine,Cholesterol,Norvaline,and 5 metabolites were down-regulated expression:arachidonate,Oleate,Alanine,Aspartic acid,glycine.Conclusion We are incline to regard that the 13 of EH patient serum differentially expressed metabolites are EH hyperactivity of liver yang syndrome metabolic biomarkers:Uric acid,citrate,Octadecanoic acid,Hexadecanoic acid,Octadecadienoic acid,Leucine,Cholesterol,Norvaline,Arachidonate,Oleate,Alanine,Aspartic acid,glycine.

BACKGROUND:The number of complications after hip replacement, such as infection, implant loosening, fracture prosthesis wear, osteolysis, and recurrent dislocation, had drastical y increased. These complications would induce the increased occurrence of total hip revision.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the causes and treatment measures of revision after total hip replacement. METHODS:The reasons for revision, the prosthesis selection, the treatment of bone defect and the postoperative rehabilitation were discussed in 33 cases after total hip replacement. The prosthesis for revision included general metal ring and lining (21 cases), large head and cup (8 cases), polyethylene cup (4 cases), general femoral components (15 cases, including 11 cases fixed by bone cement), and lengthening femoral components (18 cases, including 9 cases fixed by bone cement and 6 cases of combined components).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al 33 patients were fol owed up for 24-60 months, averagely 36.5 months. After revision, wound healed perfect, and the prosthesis was reliable. No case suffered from infection or dislocation. Hip joint function was greatly improved. Harris score was increased from 37.1 preoperatively to 91.3 postoperatively. Medium-or short-period clinical fol ow-up results demonstrated that if the indication of revision was right, bone defects were handled perfectly, prosthesis was chosen correctly, one-stage total hip revision can get a good clinical efficacy.

BACKGROUND:Vascularuzed fibular graft is one of the effective methods for repair of large segmental bone defects in the extremities OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical effects of vascularized fibular graft for repairing large segmental bone defects in the extremities. METHODS:Twenty-eight non-malignant patients who received vascularized fibular graft for repairing large segmental bone defects in the extremities and were folowed up for more than 20 months were enroled. After lesion removal, vascularized fibula bone graft was used to repair the bone defects. If cases combined with soft tissue defects, fibula flap or anterolateral thigh flap was adopted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Al patients were folowed up for 20 months to 6 years. The grafted bones were healed with the surrounding bone at 3-8 months after fibula bone grafting. The grafted bone was enlarged near to the diameter of recipient bone at 10-22 months after grafting. Based on the Enneking system, the average score of large segmental tibia bone defects was 24.2 points with 81% limb function recovered and 94.1% patient satisfaction; the average score of large segmental femur bone defects was 26.3 points with 87.7% limb function recovered and 100% patient satisfaction; the average score of large segmental bone defects of the distal radius and ulna was 21.75 points with 72.5% limb function recovered and 100% patient satisfaction. These findings reveal that vascularized fibular graft for repairing large segmental bone defects in extremities can effectively promote bone healing and reduce disability, infection, amputation rate; moreover, patients are satisfied with the postoperative recovery of limb function.
