Objective Bone cement joint prosthetic aseptic loosening always occurs in the bone cement-bone interface, while the mechanical strength of the interface mainly depends on the microstructure and adhesive strength.The aim of this study was to ex-plore the bone microstructure and the cement bone interfacial biomechanics of osteoarthritis(OA) and rheumatoid arthritis(RA), and also discuss the correlation. Methods Twenty trabecular bone specimens of tibial plateaus were taken from OA and RA patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty( TKA) .The microstructural parameters of the trabecular bone specimens were measured by Skyscan1176 microcomputed tomography.The bone specimens were made into cementbone models, which were tested by INSTRON strength tester.The association of bone microstructure and interfacial shear stress was analyzed subsequently. Results ①Bone volume fraction ( BV/TV) ( r=-0.313) , trabecular thickness ( Tb.Th) ( r=-0.340) ,trabecular spacing ( Tb.Sp) ( r=0.345) of OA had obvious correlation to shear strength (P<0.05).The cement-bone interfacial strength of medial tibial plateaus[(87.45±52.50)N] was lower than lateral tibial plat-eaus[(177.25±71.11)N] of OA (P<0.05).②Bone volume fraction (BV/TV)(r=0.343), trabecular number (Tb.N)(r=0.391) of RA had obvious correlation to shear strength (P<0.001).The cement-bone interfacial strength of lateral tibial plateaus[(62.23±46.22) N] was lower than medial tibial plateaus[(79.20±56.37N)] of RA (P<0.05).③The interfacial strength of OA[(132.35±76.64)N] was higher than RA[(71.05±51.55)N] (P<0.05). Conclusion There are differences of microstructure between OA and RA, which lead to the distinction of strength of cement -bone interface.And it has a certain guiding role of analyzing the biomechanics in TKA.

Objective To investigate the method of endovascular puncture to establish rabbit models of cerebral vasospasm. Methods New Zealand white rabbits were divided into 5 groups (12 h,1 d,2 d,3 d and 7 d) randomly, and each group was separated into subarachinoid hemorrhage (SAH) subgroup (n = 5) and control subgroup (n = 2). cerebral vascular spasm (CVS) models were established atfer SAH with endovascular puncture. CT scans before and after operation were performed. The internal diameters and the wall thicknesses of posterior communicans artery (PcoA) and basilar artery (BA) were measured with HE stain after the animals were executed. Results CVS model was successfully eastblished in 35 rabbits (SAH subgroup 25,control subgroup 10), resulting a successful rate of 48.61% . Compared with control subgroup, PcoA and BA showed shrinkage of internal diameters of 43.60% and 51.82% 12 h after SAH, respectively, and the shrinkage appeared as biphasic patterns until the 7th study day with another peaks of 29.32% and 45.19%, respectively. Conclusions Endovascular puncture is an effective method to establish rabbit of CVS. The death rate of animals can be decreased with the asage of new interventional material and perfection for the details of operation.

Objective To investigate serum alpha2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein ( AHSG ) level and its relationship with associated clinical parameters in subjects with simple overweight and obesity. Methods Forty-nine subjects with obesity ( OB group) , 176 subjects with overweight ( OW group) , and 327 individuals with normal weight ( NW group) were randomly enrolled. The clinical data were collected and serum levels of AHSG and adiponectin ( APN) were determined by ELISA. The associations of serum AHSG level with other clinical parameters were assessed by Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regressive model. Results Serum AHSG levels were higher in OW and OB groups than that in NW group[(276. 30 and 302. 10 vs 241. 60)μg/ml], being especially higher in OB group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Serum AHSG level in NW group was positively associated with fasting plasma glucose, homoeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index, C-reactive protein (CRP), triglycerides, and free fatty acids ( FFA ) , but negatively associated with age and APN. In OW and OB groups, AHSG was also positively associated with body mass index, waist hip ratio(WHR), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01) except the aforementioned clinical parameters. In multiple linear regression model, AHSG was positively associated with WHR, CRP, and FFA, and was negatively associated with APN ( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion The raised AHSG level in overweight and obese subjects may be a risk factor for obesity-related diseases.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of Y-shaped jogged stent in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction. Methods During the period of January 2010 to June 2015,We retrospectively reviewed 98 cases of malignant hilar biliary obstruction who were received implantation of biliary tract stent. 17 consecutive patients who were treated with Y-shaped jogged stent were identified (group A) during January 2012 to June 2015. Group A was carefully matched according to patients' age, sex, type of tumor, stage, type of biliary obstruction, level of bilirubin at diagnosis, presence of metastasis and treatment, and 17 patients who were underwent unilateral stent placement alone with PTCD were chosen as control group (group B). Patients' baseline characteristics, stenting strategy, complications, stent patency time and survival rates were analyzed, and continuous variables of the two groups were compared using Student's t-test. Categorical variables were analyzed using the Fisher exact test. Results Y-shaped jogged stent implantation group and control groups were closely matched in terms of patients' age, sex, type of tumor, stage, type of biliary obstruction, level of bilirubin at diagnosis, presence of metastasis and treatment ( P>0.05). The bilirubin decreased rate in the two groups was 88.2%and 53.0%respectively (P<0.05). The median time of stent patency after stent implantation was(7.3 ± 1.0)months and(5.7 ± 0.9) months respectively (χ2=4.04,P=0.044), and the median survival time was(9.1 ± 1.5)months and(7.2 ± 1.1)months (χ2=4.60,P=0.032), with significant difference according to Kaplan-Meier analysis. There were no severe complications such as massive hemorrhage, perforation, biliary fistula and severe pancreatitis, which were associated with stent implantation. Conclusions The application of Y-shaped jogged stent is safe, feasible and effective in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction. It can relieve the clinical symptoms of biliary obstruction effectively with prolongation of stent patency time and survival rate significantly.
