As a main treatment instrument of limb fractures, the interlocking nail is used in two ways: dynamic fixation and static fixation. The former has less stress shielding but lower satiability. The latter is just the opposite. Therefore, static fixation is the main choice in clinic. But because of the higher stress shielding, complications take place frequently. This article is to discuss the relationship between micromovement and fracture healing, and calls for a new kind of interlocking nail which has micromovement function.

Objective To assess the effectiveness and security of warfarin in the treatment of anticoagulation in elderly patients with chronic atrial fibrillation.Methods The patients of chronic atrial fibrillation were divided into two groups randomly warfarin group (group A) and aspirine group (group B). PT and INR of the whole patients were detected, the group A were administed 3 mg/d dose of warfarin. PT and INR were detected every other day. One week later, the dosage of warfarin was increased to 4 mg/d if INR did not reach 2.0-3.0. INR was detected every other week until it reached about 2.0-3.0. Four weeks later, INR was detected every month.. When the patients were inclined to hemorrhagia symptom, their INR was detected immediately. The patients group B were administered aspirin 300 mg orally twice a day . Results In group A, PT was significantly lower than that before treatment, P

Matrine is a traditional Chinese medicine extraction which can inhibit the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of tumor cells. Cell signal transduction affects the tumor biological behavior and growth condition. Except for the widely research of MAPK, JAK-STAT, NF-κB signal transduction pathways, the latest signaling pathways about matrine are Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and mTOR signaling pathway. These pathways are mainly activated by the phosphorylated key proteins to alleviate inflammatory reaction and inhibit the growth of tumor cells and tumor biological behaviors. The research of matrine by cell signaling pathways can provide molecular targeted therapy with theoretical basis. The relationship among different signaling pathways related to the anti-tumor effect of matrine is worth studying deeply in the future.

Objective To investigate the genotype in Chinese patients with nonclassical 21 hydroxylase deficiency (NC 21OHD). Methods Eight patients with NC 21 OHD, 35 patients with classical one and 20 normal controls were studied as followed: CYP21 gene was amplified into fragment 1 (exon1→exon3) and fragment 2 (exon3→exon10) through PCR with specific primers. Second round PCRs were performed using fragment 1 and 2 as template, and PCR products were digested by restrictive endonucleases to analyze mutations by 3% 4% agarose gel electrophoresis. Results (1) The most frequent mutation in 8 cases of Chinese NC 21 OHD was P30L(6/16,37.5%), followed by V281L(4/16,25.0%). NC 21 OHD also carried mutations causing moderate or severe degree of enzymatic compromise, such as i2g (3/16, 18.8%), Q318X and R356W (1/16, 6.3% respectively), and I172N (3/16, 18.8%). (2) In ACTH 1 24 stimulation tests of 8 NC 21 OHD patients, basal 17 OH progesterone level was (23.9?28.4)?g/L and stimulated 17 OH progesterone level was (92.0?83.7)?g/L. (3) Genotype had strong correlation with phenotype in 21 OHD patients. Conclusion (1) As compared with caucasians, the most frequent mutation in Chinese NC 21 OHD is P30L, not V281L. (2) Much more attention should be paid to patients with hyperandrogenism to screen NC 21 OHD.

25 years group. Among 129 cases who had taken antihypertensive drugs before operation, only 43 cases continued to use drugs after operation, therefore, rate of antihypertensive drugs administration decreased significantly after operation (P

Wnt signaling pathway is not only closely related to tumor invasion and metastasis,such as cancer cells migration and adhesion,extracellular matrix degradation,and angiogenesis,but also plays an important role in self-renewal,proliferation and differentiation of tumor stem cells.Progress has been made in high specific genes drug development and targeted therapy against the Wnt signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that monocytes can transdifferentiate into vascular endothelial cells under the induction of various factors including vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF).It remains poorly understood whether monocytes can be induced to transdifferentiate into lymphatic endothelial cells in vitro.OBJECTIVE:To explore the possibility of the transdifferentiation of monocytes into lymphatic endothelial cells under inflammatory condition.METHODS:Fresh monocytes from peripheral blood were collected by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and cultured in an endothelial cell medium,followed by incubation in fibronectin-plated well or treated with tumor necrosis factor a for 24 hours,respectively.The expression of specific markers of lymphatic endothelial cells,such as LYVE-1,Podoplanin,Porx-1 and VEGF receptor 3(VEGFR-3),as well as the endothelial cells markers,such as vWF,endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)and VEGFR-2,were detected by RT-PCR and immunochemical methods.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Prior to induction,monocytes were positive to LYVE-1,but negative for Podoplanin,Porx-1,and VEGFR-3,vWF,eNOS,as well as VEGFR-2.Following induction,the cultured mononcytes were positive for Podoplanin,Prox-1 and VEGFR-3,but remained negative for vWF,eNOS and VEGFR-2.It suggested that monocytes can be induced to express the markers of lymphatic endothelial cells stimulated by fibronectin or tumor necrosis factor a.

Objective: To study the influence of inflammatory cytokine TNF-? on the expression of adhesion molecules and specific markers of rat MSCs, and to study the optimal stimulation of MSCs with inflammatory factors in inducing adhesion molecule expression which promotes migration of MSCs to the ischemic area in liver. Methods: The MSCs stimulated with different concentration of TNF-? were detected for adhesion molecules and stem cells markers on cell surface with the method of flow-cytometry, MSCs which were stimulated with the optimal concentration of TNF-? and labeled with 1, 1-Dioctadecyl-3, 3, 3, 3-tetramethylindocarbocyanine Iodade(DiI)were delivered intravenously to the rats whose liver was injured by ischemia, the liver function of the experimented animals were tested, and liver samples in the ischemic area were obtained, the number of MSCs was counted under a fluorescent microscope. Results: Stimulated with TNF-?, MSC ex-pression of VCAM-1 increased, while that of stem cell markers did not change markedly. Exposed to lower concentration of TNF-?, the adhesion ability of MSCs obviously increased and more MSCs rested in the ischemic areas in the rat liver, compared to the control groups. Conclusions: TNF-? can increase the expression of VCAM-1 on rat MSCs while exert little effect on the stem cell character of MSCs. Suitable concentration of TNF-? can promote MSCs migration to the damaged tissue, which provides rationale for the treatment of liver disease.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes derived from Ningmitai combined with tamsulosin to prevent double-J stent syndrome after laser lithotripsy with ureteroscope. Methods 117 patients underwent laser lithotripsy with ureteroscope and then placed a double-J stent for draining were collected from January 2010 to January 2013. Patients with double-J stent placement were divided into four groups determined by dosage regimen. Tamsulosin group (30 cases) was treated with tamsulosin (0.4 mg once daily) lonely, Ningmitai group (29 cases) was treated with Ningmitai (1.52 g, trice time a day) lonely, tamsulosin combined Ningmitai group (30 cases) was treated with tamsulosin and Ningmitai at the same time, operation control group (28 cases) was neither tamsulosin nor Ningmitai. The catheter was removed on the 3rd day post-lithotripsy and then remained double-J stent for 1 month. The scores of urinary tract, pain and the incidence of gross hematuria were assessed. Results The significant differences in the improvement of symptom score (χ2=22.038, P=0.000), pain score (χ2=9.876, P=0.020) and hematuria (χ2=8.000, P=0.046) were found among tamsulosin group, Ningmitai group, and tamsulosin combined Ningmitai group. The number of patients with symptomless, slight symptom in tamsulosin combined Ningmitai group were higher than those of tamsulosin group, Ningmitai group, operation control group (symptomeless:14 vs. 6, 3 and 2 cases;slight symptom:13 vs. 9, 5, 4 cases). The number of patients with>Ⅱpain score (7 vs. 9, 14, 17 cases) and incidence of hematuriag [26.6%(8/30) vs. 56.7%(17/30), 58.6% (17/29), 53.6% (15/28)] were lower in tamsulosin combined Ningmitai group than those of tamsulosin group, Ningmitai group, operation control group. The drug combination of Ningmitai with tamsulosin had the synergism to relived symptom and pain, and showed the more obviousthan lonely use. Conclusion The drug combination of Ningmitai with tamsulosin can be used in clinic for prophylactic purpose to prevent double-J syndrome.

Objective To explore the role and clinical significance of GSTM 3 ( glutathione S-trans-ferase mu 3) expression in prostate cancer (PCa). Methods We had used the two-dimensional fluores-cence difference gel electrophoresis ( 2D-DIGE) and mass spectral analysis to further verify the microarray data of mRNA expression profiling discovered .GSTM3 mRNA level was detected by Rael-time Quantitative PCR ( RT-QPCR) in 28 pairs of prostate cancer tissue and benign tissue .The relationship of GSTM 3 level with the serum PSA level and the clinical feature of PCa were analyzed . Results In 2D-DIGE study, we found that the expression of GSTM 3 protein in adjacent tissues was significantly higher than that in PCa tis-sues (P<0.05).RT-QPCR results showed that GSTM3 in adjacent tissues (8.12±0.51) was significantly higher than that in PCa tissues (7.18±0.54) (P<0.05).There was no significant difference of GSTM3 ex-pression in different serum PSA packets ( P>0.05) and prostate cancer clinical pathological parameters ( P>0.05). Conclusions GSTM3 expression is down-regulated in PCa tissues, and we may identify PCa by detecting the GSTM 3 expression .
