AIM: To analyze the characteristics of internal fixation implantation therapy for comminuted patella fracture. METHODS: A computer-based search of Pubmed database and Chinese Journal Full-text Database was undertaken, and the quotations of each literature were checked after the primary screening. Inclusion criteria: the papers about the application of internal fixation materials in comminuted patella fracture, those published in authority journals within recent five years were preferred. Exclusion criteria: repeated study or Meta analysis. RESULTS: Internal fixation approach differs as the fracture type. Tension band fixation is generally accepted to treat transverse patella fracture. Kirschner wire plus tension band fixation are inferior to transverse fixation, but in comminuted fracture it can induce more complications; despite of wide application, nickel titanium patella fixator is unsuitable for comminuted fractures due to its hypersensibility and carcinogenicity; silk or steel wire loop fixation fits various comminuted fractures, but metal cerclage is predisposed to induce infection and breakage because of insufficient fixation force. CONCLUSION: There is no common way for comminuted patella fracture therapy. Further researches on material and method which can cure all kinds of comminuted patella fracture are still needed.

[Objective]To study the effects of titanium cable system used as a treatment alternative for comminuted patella fractures.[Method]Fifty-seven cases of comminuted patella fractures were treated from November 2004 to August 2007.The patients were divided into three groups:the group of titanium cables,AO modified tension band and nickel titanium-patella catcher respectively,according to the choice of internal fixation.The operation time,the amount of blood loss,the first knee exercise time after operation,length of hospitalisation,medical expenses,time off for employees,complication and long-term knee function were studied.All the data were analyzed and compared by statistical ways.[Result]The 57 patients were followed up for 11 to 48months(means,22.4 m).Patients who were fixed with titanium cables could start most early extending and flexing the knee(5.6 d after operation),but most expense in medical usages(9500 RMB).The good or excellence rate was 95.1% in patients treated with titanium cables cerclage,which was better than that of the other two groups.[Conclusion]Titanium cables cerclage can cure comminuted patella fractures.The method had advantage of better long-term curative effect and less complication,and so on.It's worthy to be recommended for the therapy of comminuted patella fracture.

AIM To explore the effects of Sini Decoction (Aconiti lateralis Radix Praeparata,Zingiberis Rhizoma,Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) on rat myocardial fibrosis induced by isoproterenol.METHODS Forty SD rats were randomly divided into blank,model,captopril [100 mg/(kg · d)] and Sini Decoction [3.8 g/(kg · d)] groups,with ten rats in each group.Except for the blank group,the rest rats were given subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol [5 rg/(kg · d)] to prepare myocardial fibrosis model,and successive administration lasted for four weeks.At 20 h after the last administration,hemodynamics changes of heart were detected;heart weight indexes were calculated;the changes of myocardial pathological morphology were observed by HE and Masson staining;NO level in serum was measured by nitrale reduetase;SOD activity in serum was measured by xanthinoxidase method;MDA level in serum was measured by thiobarbituric acid method;the protein expressions of RhoA,ROCK1 and eNOS in myocardial tissue were detected by Western blot method.RESULTS Compared with the model group,the cardiac function of rats was significantly improved;the myocardial collagen content was significantly decreased;the MDA level in serum was obviously decreased;the NO level and SOD activity were significantly increased;the protein expressions of RhoA and ROCK1 in myocardium tissue were significantly reduced,and the protein expression of eNOS was markedly increased in the Sini Decoction group.CONCLUSION Sini Decoction can improve the isoproterenol-induced myocardial fibrosis in rats,and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the RhoA/ ROCK signaling pathway,in turn,raising the expression of eNOS,which leads to reduced oxidative stress.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of TT virus infection in pregnant women in Shenzhen and the role of mother-to -child transmission route in the TTV infection. Methods TTV DNA were detected by nested PCR in sera, cord blood and breast milk samples from 400 mother-infant pairs. TTV DNA positive mothers were followed up for 6 months for monitoring TTV DNA. Thirty two TTV DNA PCR products amplified from blood and milk samples of 13 mother-infant fairs were cloned and sequenced. Results By means of PCR, TTV DNA were detected in 62 of mothers' serum samples, 4 of 400 cord blood samples, and 20 of 400 milk samples, respectively. Therefore, 6.5%(4/62) of infants are likely to be infected with TTV from their mothers during the fetal period. Direct sequencing of TTV DNA from 13 mother-child pairs showed identical isolates (nucleotide homology from 97.5% to 99%), Follow-up sera of 42children, whose mothers were TTV DNA positive, showed 16 cases turned out to be existence of TTV viremia at 6 months old. Conclusions Our data proved the mother-to-child transmission route of TTV infection.TTV can be transmitted transplacentally and postnatally by the way of breast feeding as well. The increase of TTV prevalence during the 6 months after birth, suggests the postnatal transmission route of TTV may be of more importance, and further study is needed to address whether preventive measure should be done.

BACKGROUND: Recently, Chinese herb and comprehensive therapy are widely adopted for the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), while infrared ray is widely used in the fields of physical therapy and scientific research. Therefore, some scholars suggest whether the physical characteristics of infrared ray have effects on the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of infrared ray on the changes of gastric mucosa tissue in rat models with chronic atrophic gastritis.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Hebei North University.MATERIALS: Thirty-five adult Wistar male rats weighing from 180 to 230 g were purchased from Hebei Experimental Animal Center [SCXK (ji) 2003-1-003]. The experiment was disposed with the ethical standard. Sodium salicylate powder produced by Beijing Fangcao Chemical Company (batch number: 890720). The drug was prepared with distilled water. Infrared lamp (220 V, 200 W) was bought by Equipment Division of our college.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Experimental Center of Hebei Beifang College from June 2005 to January 2006. ① Experimental intervention: Rats were fed with conventional standard granules for one week. Among them, 8 rats were selected as the normal control group, and other rats underwent model establishment. Rats were perfused with sodium salicylate and alcohol to stimulate gastric mucosa, and then chronic CAG models were established for 8 weeks based on exertion, irregular diet and other factors. Five rats were randomly selected for the check of histopathology before the end of model confirmedly making, and then the model rats were randomly divided into model group and infrared group with 11 in each group. Infrared lamp (220 V, 200 W, 0.76–1.5 μm in wavelength) was used to vertically radiate at the gastric projective area of rats in the infrared group, once a day, ten minutes once for twenty days. The rats in normal group and model group were regularly breed. ② Experimental evaluation: The body mass was weighed every week in 1, 4, 9 and 12 weeks after modeling. The infiltration of inflammatory cells and thickness of gastric mucosa were observed under optic microscope.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Changes of body mass; ② pathohistological changes of gastric mucosa.RESULTS: All 30 rats were involved in the final analysis. ① Changes of body mass: From the end of the 4th week, increasing percentage of body mass in the model group and infrared group was decreased gradually as compared with that in the normal group, and there was significant difference (P < 0.05). ② Pathohistological changes of gastric mucosa: Gastric mucosa of rats in the model group was thinner, and atrophic glands, notable inflammatory infiltration and partial intestinal metaplasia were observed under optic microscope. The thickness of gastric mucosa in the infrared group was significantly thicker than that in model control group, and there was significant difference (P < 0.01); the inflammatory cells in the infrared group were less than those in the model group, and there was significant difference (P < 0.05). Morphologic structure and volume of the parietal cells were all recuperated or closed to normal.CONCLUSION: Infrared ray can decrease thickness of gastric mucosa and reduce inflammatory cells of rats with chronic atrophic gastritis, and it has greatly therapeutic achievements.

Conclusion The ACL TOP coagulation analyzer has good repeatability, stability, linearity and capability of anti-interference and anti-carryover.

Objective To study the effects of He-Ne laser irradiation on histological changes and the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA ) and B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 ( Bcl-2 ) in the gastric mucosa of rats with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) so as to elucidate the relationship of He-Ne laser irradiation with precancerous lesions and apoptosis in the gastric mucosa. Methods The rats were divided into a normal group,a model group and a laser group.A model of CAG was established by gastric perfusion with a mixture of sodium salicylate and alcohol combined with irregular fasting and forced exercise.A He-Ne laser was used to irradiate the rats at 3.36 J/cm2 for 7 min daily for 20 d.Histopathological changes including the severity of inflammation in the gastric mucosa and the morphology and structure of the parietal cells were observed with a light microscope,and the expression of PCNA and Bcl-2 was detected with immunohistochemical methods. Results The pathologic morphological changes in the gastric mucosa of the model group were atrophy of the glands of the gastric mucosa and notable inflammatory infiltration.But in the laser group inflamed cells decreased,and the morphology,structure and volume of the cells all recovered close to normal.The immunohistochemistry results showed that during the atrophy of the gastric mucosa the expression of PCNA and Bcl-2 was elevated,and it was significantly higher in the model group than in the normal group.After irradiation the expression of PCNA and Bcl-2 was significantly lower. Conclusions There was hyper-proliferation in the gastric mucosa of the CAG model rats,with high expression of apoptosis suppressor PCNA and Bcl-2 proteins.Laser irradiation can reduce the expression of PCNA and Bcl-2,enhance cell proliferation and induce apoptosis,preventing the development of cancer.Laser irradiation has a good adjuvant therapeutic effect for all the pathological changes observed.

Objective To study the effects of He-Ne laser irradiation dosage on the expression of heat shock protein ( HSP70) and CyclinD_1 in rats with chronic atrophic gastritis ( CAG). Method Fifty-two adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: a normal control group, model group and three groups receiving different doses of He-Ne laser irradiation. CAC was induced using an enema of 2% sodium salicylate and 30% alcohol combined with irregular fasting and forced exercise as pathogenic factors. Laser irradiation was applied for 20 days (large dose 6.24 J/cm~2 , medium dose 4. 80 J/cm~2, small dose 3. 36 J/cm~2). The changes in HSP70 and CyclinD_1 expression were observed. Results The expression of HSP70 and CylinD_1 were highest in the normal control group and the small dose laser group. Compared with the model group, the average expression of HSP70 and CyclinD_1 increased significantly in the small dose group. Conclusions Irradiation with a He-Ne laser at 3. 36 J/cm~2 provides good adjuvant therapeutic effect for CAG in rats. After irradiation, the expression of HSP 70 and CyclinD_1 increased. HSP is important in improving mucosal defenses and promoting cell proliferation in CAG, and it can be promoted through small doses of He-Ne laser irradiation.
