OBJECTIVEThis study further explores the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) signaling axis mechanism in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (OA) by detecting the changes in CXCR4, interleukin (IL)-6, and collagen X expression in the ATDC5 cell line stimulated by the cyclic tensile strain and SDF-1.

METHODSInsulin-transferrin-selenium (ITS) was used to induce ATDC5 cells to differentiate into chondrocyte-like cells. After three weeks, the cells were divided into two groups: those with and without cyclic tensile strain. These groups were further divided into the negative control and SDF-1 groups. Strain force of 20% was applied. After 12 h, the total proteins were extracted from cells of the four groups, and Western blot analysis was used to detect the changes in CXCR4, IL-6, and collagen X expression.

RESULTSSDF-1 could enhance CXCR4, IL-6, and collagen X expressions in the chondrocytes, and 20% tensile strain force could further upregulate the three factors.

CONCLUSIONUnder abnormal tensile force, SDF-1 can upregulate its specific receptor CXCR4, thus increasing its-binding efficiency and resulting in the activation of the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis. This condition enhances the expressions of IL-6 and other inflammatory factors and directly damages to cartilage tissue. Such damage directly promotes chondrocyte hypertrophy, which enhances collagen X expression.

Objective To compare the clinical results of surgical and conservative treatment of acute patellar dislocations.Methods Retrospective analyzed the clinical data of 35 patients with acute patellar dislocations from June 2004 to October 2009,and divided the patients into 2 groups.One group with 18 patients underwent surgical treatments,and the other group with 17 patients underwent conservative treatments,record the number of relapses cases of both the two groups.A radiographic examination was performed in the evaluation of the patients,and the Kujala questionnaire was applied with the intention of analyzing the improvement of pain and quality of life.Results All patients were followed up for more than 12 months.(1) The conservative treatment group exhibited a higher number of recurrent dislocations (7 patients) (41.2％) than the surgical treatment group,which did not have any relapses (x2 =9.265,P =0.002).(2) The patellar tilt returned to normal in the surgical group,while 8 patients returned to normal in the conservative group,with statistical difference between groups (x2 =10.980,P =0.001).And the lateral shift ratio returned to normal in the surgical group,while 6 patients returned to normal in the conservative group,with statistical difference between groups(x2 =7.667,P =0.006).(3)The surgical treatment group obtained a significantly better mean score on the Kujala test than preoperative ((90 ± 5) vs.(58 ± 6),t =16.465,P ＜ 0.01) ; The conservative treatment group,compared with the preoperative,is not improved obviously ((72 ± 6) vs.(62 ± 8),t =0.943,P ＞ 0.05) ;Postoperative group comparison,surgical group was higher than that in conservative group,there was significant difference between two groups (t =12.256,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion For acute patellar dislocation,surgical treatment can significantly restore patellar stability,improve the function of knee joint.

Soil water is one of the most important components in hydrological cycle. The stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in soil water have been increasingly used in the ecological, environment and hydrological research. In view of different techniques for extracting soil water, there is significant difference in theδD andδ18 O composition. This paper presents a method for analyzing hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in soil water by using elemental analyzer and isotope ratio mass spectrometry with accelerated solvent extraction for sample pretreatment. The conditions are: extraction solvent: dichloromethane, temperature: 100 ℃, pressure of 10. 3 MPa, static time:10 min. The samples were extracted three times, and with cycle values of four, four and three, respectively. Comparing with the added water, the deuterium and oxygen isotope values in the extracted soil water enrich 2. 12‰-4. 58‰ and 0. 17‰-0. 93‰, respectively. The reproducibility of replicate extractions of soil water is around ±0. 89‰ for δD and ±0. 37‰ for δ18 O.

Matrix_assisted laser desorption ionization_time of flight tandem mass spectrometry ( MALDI_TOF/TOF MS) and electrospray ionization_quadrupole_time of flight mass spectrometry ( ESI_Q_TOF MS) were used to confirm the structure of cyclic lipopeptide daptomycin fastly. First, the relative molecular weight 1916. 7107 of daptomycin was measured by ESI with error 0. 0007. The sample’s doubly charged peak m/z 809. 848 was selected as precursor ion for ESI_MS/MS analysis, and the exocyclic amino acid sequence C9 H19 CO_Trp_Asn_Asp was successfully matched. Second, the experimental conditions of cleaving daptomycin by lithium hydroxide ( LiOH) were optimized and the ring_opened process was monitored by MALDI_TOF/TOF MS. After obtaining ring_opened product with purity of above 95%, the MS/MS measurements by MALDI and ESI were carried out. The b+and y+of ring_opened product were completely matched, which confirmed the amino acid sequence of daptomycin. Finally, ESI_MS/MS conditions of ring_opened product were further optimized to obtain more low mass fragment ions for analyzing the structure of fatty acid chain and the cleavage pattern of fat chain in mass spectrometry was proposed. The method was fast, convenient, accurate and reliable for identifying cyclic lipopeptide compounds.

Objective To investigate the effect of carboxyl methyl chitosan on hypertrophic scars by establishing a hypertrophic scar model on the ventral side of rabbit ears.Methods Full-thick-ness excisional wounds,1 cm in diameter,were made in the ears of 12 adult New Zealand white rabbits,and 123 hypertrophic sears were made in all.Then the rabbits were divided into 3 groups:group A was an experimental group (carboxyl methyl chitosan,500μg/ml),group B was a control group 1 (triamcinolone),and group C was control group 2 (physiological saline).All the scars were injected with drugs on the 30th and 40th days after operation,and then the samples were collected on the 35th and 45th day and analyzed.Results Compared with group C,group A appeared to be flatter,softer,and lighter in color;the area density of fibroblast decreased using HE stain and masson stain (P<0.05),and hydroxyproline content and hypertrophic index were also lower than group C (P<0.05).There were no significant differences of those criteria between group A and group B (P>0.05).Conclusion Injection of carboxyl methyl chitosan into Iocal hypertrophic scars On rabbit ears has similar effects to triamcinolone,and both of them can prevent and cure hypertrophic scars in proliferative stage.
