ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of single-stage and two-stage revision prosthesis-relative chronic infection causing by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) after total knee arthroplasty(TKA) in rabbits, and evaluate the clinical feasibility of single-stage revision TKA. MethodsA new kind of prosthesis was implanted into the right knee joints of 48 New Zealand white rabbits following proper anesthesia. After 4 weeks, the dose of 5×105 colony forming unit MRSA was inoculated into every knee to establish prosthesis joint infection model. The rabbits were divided into 2 groups randomly: experimental and control group. Four weeks after inoculation, the treatments of the experimental and control group were singlestage and two-stage revision respectively. The levels of serum C-reaction protein (CRP) and Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were monitored in ten phase, i.e. prior to primary arthroplasty and revision, at 1, 3, 5, 7days, and 2, 4, 6, 12 weeks after revision. Twelve weeks after revision, animals were sacrificed and joint samples were collected for bacterial culture. The positive results were judged as reinfection, and the negative results were judged as successful healing. ResultsFive rabbits were excluded out of the group for some reasons. The recurrence rates of infection in the experimental group and control group were 22.7％ (5/22) and 14.3％(3/21) respectively after revision. The difference between them was statistically insignificant(χ2=0.102,P=0.750). The levels of serum CRP of the two groups raised, and reached their peaks at 3 days, then dropped into the normal level prior to primary arthroplasty at 4 weeks after revision. The difference between them was statistically insignificant (F=0.157, P=0.694). The ESR levels of the two groups elevated after revision, and reached their peaks at 5 days, then declined slowly into the original level prior to primary arthroplasty at 12 weeks. The difference between them was statistically insignificant (F=0.936,P=0.339). ConclusionThough the prosthesis-relative chronic infection caused by high virulence organism after TKA, the short-term efficacy of single-stage revision is similar to that of two-stage if the stain of pathogenic bacteria and its spectrum are obtained.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the retractive effects of different gingival retraction agents.

METHODSThirty subjects with healthy gingival conditions were recruited to the trial, and the buccal gingival sulcus of the hibateral first max-illary premolars of each subject (n=60) were treated randomly with one of the six agents--Group A was tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride, Group B was oxymetazoline hydrochloride, Group C was epinephrine hydrochlorid, Group D was AlCl3, Group E was Fe2 (SO4)3, and Group F was normal saline as control. Both pre-treated and post-treated accurate impressions of buccal gingival sulcus of the experimental teeth were made, so were the anhydrite casts. The casts of experimental teeth were sectioned into 2 mm slices bucco-lingually at the buccal eminence. Then the width of the sulcus was measured as the distance from the tooth to the crest of the gingival under a low-power microscope to compare the effect of these gingival retraction agents.

RESULTSThe width of gingival sulcus became larger after the treatment in all groups (P < 0.05). Either Group A or Group B had greater gingival retraction effects than Group C and Group F (P < 0.05). Except Group F, both Group D and Group E had no significant differences from the other groups (P > 0.05). There was no statistically signification between Group D and Group E (P > 0.05), neither was there any statistically significance between Group A and Group B (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONTetrahydrozoline manifested excellent effect of gingival retraction.

Laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and whole-cell perforated patch-clamp techniques were combined to study simultaneously the changes of intracellular signal molecules and membrane currents. Intracellular calcium transients and spontaneous transient outward currents (STOCs) were recorded simultaneously in freshly isolated mouse cerebral artery smooth muscle cells. The cells loaded with fluo-4/AM were scanned with the confocal line-scan mode. Triggering voltage pulses derived from an EPC-10 patch clamp amplifier triggered the confocal line scan. The results showed that STOCs and intracellular calcium transients could be simultaneously recorded in the same cell. This technique will be useful in studies of diseases caused by impairments of intracellular Ca(2+) signaling and related ionic channel activities, or vice versa.

OBJECTIVETo provide anatomical data for transoral atlantoaxial reduction plate internal fixation.

METHODMicrosurgical dissecting was performed on 10 fresh craniocervical specimens layer by layer according to transoral approach. Stratification of posterior pharyngeal wall, course of vertebral artery, adjacent relationships of atlas and axis and correlative anatomical parameters of internal fixation to atlantoaxial joint were observed.

RESULT(1) Posterior pharyngeal wall consisted of 2 layers and 2 interspace: mucosa, anterior fascia of vertebrae, posterior interspace of pharynx and anterior interspace of vertebrae. (2) The range from anterior rim of foramen magnum to C3 could be exposed by this approach. (3) The distance between the vertebral artery at atlas and midline was (25.2 +/- 2.3) mm and that between the vertebral artery at axis and midline was (18.4 +/- 2.6) mm. (4) The width of atlas and that of axis could be exposed respectively to (39.4 +/- 2.2) mm and (39.0 +/- 2.1) mm. The distance (a) between 2 atlas screw inserting points (center of anterior aspect of C-1 lateral mass) was (31.4 +/- 3.3) mm. The vertical distance (b) between the connecting line of 2 atlas screw inserting points and that of 2 axis screw inserting points (at the central part of the vertebrae which was 3 - 4 mm lateral to the midline of C-2 vertebrae) was (18.7 +/- 2.7) mm. The odds of a/b was 1.5 approximately 1.7.

CONCLUSIONSAnterior atlantoaxial plate internal fixation through transoral approach is suitable and feasible. The design of the plate should be based on the above data.
