Objective To observe the impact of heparanase on glomerular endothelium glycocalyx during sepsis and to investigate the prevention of glycocalyx injury.Methods C57/BL6 mice were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-o) and sacrificed one hour later.Glomerular endothelium glycocalyx traced with lanthanum was observed by transmission electron microscope(TEM).Western blotting was used to observe heparanse protein expression of renal cortex tissue.Human renal glomerular endothelial cells (HRGECs) were stimulated with TNF-α and active heparanase protien expression was detected by Western blotting.Mice were administrated with heparin sodium or heparinase Ⅲ and renal endothelium glycocalyx was observed by TEM.Urine during twenty-four hours was collected to measure urinary albumin and creatinine.The ratio of albumin to creatinine was calculated and compared among groups.Results The glomerular endothelium glycocalyx of LPS group and TNF-α group was degradated and the one of podocyte was integrated.Renal cortex tissue heparanase protein expression was significantly increased since one hour after LPS injection (P < 0.01).The protein expression of activited heparanase of HRGECs which were stimulated with TNF-α was increased (P < 0.05).Administration of heparin sodium which could inhibit the activity of heparanase could prevent the glycocalyx form degradation.The ratio of urine albumin to creatinine of heparin sodium group was decreased compared with LPS group (P < 0.05) and the ratio of heparinase Ⅲ group was higher than control group(P < 0.01) as a result of degradation of glomerular endothelium glycocalyx.Conclusions During the early stage of sepsis,TNF-α can induce glomerular endothelium heparanase to increase and active,and consequently the glycocalyx is degradated which leads to albuminuria.Inhibition of heparanase can protect glomerular endothelium glycocalyx and prevent albuminuria.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of ankle arthroscopy combined with closed reduction guide and conventional surgical incision in the treatment of trimalleolar fracture.Methods A total of 60 patients with ankle fracture were divided into two groups according to different surgical plans:the ankle arthroscopy combined with closed reduction guide surgery group(arthroscopy group)and the conventional incision surgery group(incision group),with 30 cases in each group.The operative time,intraoperative blood loss and complications of the two groups were observed and compared.Pain and functional recovery of patients were evaluated by the American Orthopaedic Foot&Ankle Society(AOFAS)ankle and hind foot scores and Foot and Ankle Disability Index(FADI)scores.Results All 60 patients were followed up.Compared with the arthroscopy group,patients in the incision group had a longer surgical time,a shorter incision length in the medial malleolus,a reduced number of cases of skin numbness and reduced bleeding(P<0.05).The AOFAS score and the FADI score at 12 months after surgery were higher in the arthroscopic group than those of the incision group(P<0.05).After 12 months of surgery,the AOFAS score in patients without cartilage injury of the arthroscopic group were higher than those of patients with cartilage injury(P<0.05),while there were no significant differences in pain and force line scores between patients with cartilage injury and patients without cartilage injury(P>0.05).Conclusion The application of ankle arthroscopy combined with closed reduction guide in the treatment of trimalleolar fracture can achieve better postoperative results,but it has no obvious advantages in operation time and incision infection compared with the incision surgery.
