Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of anatomy plate and locking compression plate in the treatment of humerus surgical neck fracture. Methods Fifty one patients with humerus surgical neck fracture were enrolled into the study and divided into two groups randomly to accept anatomy plate or locking compression plate treatment. In the anatomy plate treatment group ( n = 35 ), 19 cases were type- Ⅲ fractures and 16 cases were type-Ⅳ fractures according to Neer classification. In the locking compression plate treatment group (n = 16) ,9 cases were type-Ⅲ fractures and 7 cases were type-Ⅳ fractures according to Neer classification. Results In anatomy plate group,28 cases were followed up for 4 months to 48 months ( average period was [21 ± 2] months). According to the Constent score criteria, 19 cases got excellent outcome,8 cases got good outcome,1 case got fair outcome. In locking compression plate group, 14 cases were followed up for 1 month to 24 months (average period was[12 ± 1] months). Ten cases got excellent outcome,4 cases got good outcome. Conclusion Both anatomy plate and locking compression plate treatments are good for the humerus surgical neck fracture.

Objective To study the two-phase flow dynamics distribution and red blood cell distribution under the fluid-solid coupling interaction in left coronary artery at the typical time point within one cardiac cycle,and to investigate the formation and development mechanisms of left coronary artery atherosclerotic plaque Methods The blood was regarded as a two-phase fluid.Based on fluid-solid interaction between blood and vascular wall,the computational fluid dynamics method was used to make the transient numerical simulation of two-phase flow in the left coronary artery under fluid-solid interaction;the distribution of blood flow in the left coronary artery at the typical time point within one cardiac cycle was studied,the relationship between hemodynamic parameters and the formation of atherosclerotic plaque was analyzed.Results A lowspeed eddy zone existed in an area between the distal segment of circumferential branch and the proximal outside of blunt-edge branch of the left coronary artery,where both internal wall shear stress and red blood cell volume fraction were very small and the blood flow pattern was very complicated.Conclusion At the lowspeed eddy zone that carries small wall shear stress,the lipid concentration polarization and macromolecular material deposition are easy to be produced.The area that has less red blood cells is liable to develop hypoxia,resulting in increased vascular wall permeability and intimal injury,which will activate the immune system,causing lipid accumulation in vascular wall and intimal hyperplasia and,thus,to induce the formation of atherosclerotic plaque.(J Intervent Radiol,2017,26:253-257)

Objective To study the distribution of hemodynamics in carotid artery under the fluid-solid interaction at the typical point of time during a single cardiac cycle, and to explore the mechanism of the formation and development of carotid atherosclerotic plaque. Methods Numerical analysis the blood flow characteristics within a cardiac cycle in carotid artery was analyzed by using computational method of fluid dynamics. Based on the hemodynamic parameters, the influences of the cardiac systole and diastole on the blood flow distribution were analyzed. Results The distribution of blood flow in the carotid artery within a typical cardiac cycle was obtained. Compared with the findings in cardiac diastole, a larger area of blood stasis at the entrance of external carotid artery was observed. In this area, the flow velocity, the wall pressure and the wall shear stress were all lower, while the arterial wall deformation and von Mises equivalent stress were larger. Conclusion Under fluid-solid interaction, the low blood flow in carotid artery causes blood reflux, resulting in the deposition of lipid, fiber and other large molecular materials. The low wall pressure produced“negative pressure” effect, thus the normal blood flow is changed, the flow velocity becomes slow, and the blood supply of the brain becomes insufficient. The low wall shear stress destroys the blood flow near the wall, causing the increase of platelet activity and intimal hyperplasia. The larger arterial wall deformation variable and von Mises equivalent stress can cause stress concentration and increase vascular rupture risk.

ObjectivesTo investigate the changes of hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC-7721 in cell ultrastructure and skeleton during apoptosis induced by Survivin ASODN.MethodsSurvivin ASODN was transfected into SMMC-7721 cells mediated by DOTAP liposomal reagent. The changes of Survivin protein and mRNA expression after transfection were assessed by Western blot and in situ hybridization. The apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometer. Cell ultrastructure and skeleton were observed by electron microscope and confocal microscope. Caspase-3 was assessed by kinase activity assess method. Results The expression of Survivin protein and mRNA decreased from 69.59 and 75.6 to 10.71 and 22.9 respectively. The cell ultrastructure showed apoptotic changes. Cell skeleton microfilament system changed after Survivin ASODN transfection. The average intensity of microfilament system fluorescent decreased from 190 to 64. The activity of Caspase-3 increased from 0.015 3 to 0.099 2.ConclusionsTransfection of ASODN targeted to Survivin mRNA by DOTAP liposomal transfection reagent down-regulated the expression of Survivin protein and mRNA in SMMC 7721 cell line and activate Caspase-3, which in turns induced cell apoptosis.

Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of survivin antisense oligonucleotide (ASODN) on the expression of survivin gene and proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC-7721. Methods: The 20 mer antisense oligonucleotide (ASODN) targeted to the promoter region of survivin mRNA was designed and synthesized. The expression of survivin gene in hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC-7721 was blocked by means of ASODN transfection mediated by DOTAP liposomal reagent. The changes of survivin protein and mRNA expression after transfection were as-sessd by Western blot and in situ hybridization, respectively. The apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometer. The changes of cell adherent rate, cell growth activity, and the inhibitory rate of cell growth were also studied. Results: The expression of survivin protein and mRNA were decreased markedly after survivin ASODN transfection. Meanwhile, the cell adherent rate also decreased markedly while the apoptotic rate increased markedly. Conclusions: Transfection of ASODN targeted to the promotor region of survivin mRNA by DOTAP liposomal transfection reagent could down-regulated the expression of survivin protein and mRNA significantly in 7721 cell line and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. Survivin could be an important target in the therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the influence of intermittent catheterization methods on the urinarytract infection in patients with spinal cord injury. Methods Thirty-one cases of spinal cord injury and urinarytract infection were recruited. By use of intermittent catheterization, the bladder function was trained. Bacteria cul-ture and identification of in urine from the patients were conducted before the training (indwelling catheterization)and after 15 or 30 days of intermittent catheterization. Results The rates of urinary tract infection (colony count≥1?10~5cfu/ml) after 15 or 30 days of intermittent catheterization were 38. 7% and 35. 5%, respectively, whichwere significantly lower than those of indwelling catheterization (100%), P

We in the present study observed the effect of N-fructose modified chitosan quaternary ammonium derivatives on on rat skin wound healing through animal experiments. Forty rats were randomly divided into eight groups (5 in each group). Four groups among the all 8 groups were the experimental groups, while the other 4 groups were the control groups. Next to the skin along the back of the spine, 1.50 cm x 2.00 cm x 0.16 cm full-thickness skin was cut to make an excision wound model for every rat. Those in the experimental groups were treated with the N-fructose-modified chitosan quaternary ammonium derivatives ointment dressing the wound, while those in the control groups with sterile medical vaseline processing. We dressed the wounds twice a day to observe the wound healing of all rats in different groups. We then observed the wound healing and wound pathology after 3, 7, 10, 15 days re spectively in different groups. Results showed significant differences of the time of wound healing, area of wound healing and volume of wound healing between the experimental groups and control groups (P < 0.05). It can be well concluded that N-fructose-modified chitosan quaternary ammonium derivatives does not harm the skin, but could promote skin healing, so that they could be suitable skin repair materials and ideal raw materials for medical dressing.

Objective To study the expression of survivin protein in primary hepatocellular carcinoma(PHC) and its relationship to the proliferation of the tumor cells and prognosis of PHC. Methods The expression of survivin protein and the proliferation of tumor cells marked by proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in 48 cases of PHC were determined by immunohistochemical method. Results The survivin protein was expressed in 31 of 48 cases of PHC (64.6%). The expression of PCNA was significantly higher in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with positive survivin expression than in HCC with negative survivin expression. The patients with positive survivin expression had the worse prognosis than those with negative survivin expression. Conclusion The expression of survivin may play an important role in the proliferation of PHC cells and closely associate with the prognosis of PHC, and probably become the prognostic factor and an important target of therapy.
