BACKGROUND:The more vertical the femoral neck fracture line,the more shear force the femoral neck fracture may bear,so it may be prone to internal fixation failure,nonunion,or necrosis of the femoral head.At present,there is controversy as to which hollow nail fixation mode is ideal. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate different configurations and numbers of cannulated screw configurations to learn more about the biomechanical differences in vertical fractures of the femoral neck using finite element analysis. METHODS:Femoral CT data were collected from a 24-year-old healthy male volunteer and imported into Mimics software to build a three-dimensional geometric model of the femur.Model refinement and surface fitting processing were carried out in Geomagic software and imported into SolidWorks software to establish a vertical fracture model of the femoral neck.Six cannulated screw models were established,including three triangle configuration,three inverted triangle configuration,three double-plane double-support configuration(F scheme),three transverse configuration,four diamond configuration and four Alpha configuration.The peak stress,strain and displacement of internal fixation and femoral fracture models under different loads(350,700,1 400,and 2 100 N)were compared among different configurations. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Under four kinds of loads,screw stress conditions were as follows:biplanar double-supported configuration(F scheme)>transverse configuration>inverted triangle configuration>positive triangular configuration>Alpha configuration>rhombus configuration.The peak value of Von mises stress was concentrated in the screw close to the fracture line.(2)Under four kinds of loads,the screw displacement was Alpha configuration>inverted triangle configuration>positive triangular configuration>biplanar double-supported configuration(F scheme)>rhombus configuration>transverse configuration,and the peak displacement was mainly concentrated on the hollow screw head.(3)Under four kinds of loads,the stress conditions of the proximal femoral bone block were biplanar double-supported configuration(F scheme)>transverse configuration>inverted triangle configuration>Alpha configuration>positive triangular configuration>rhombus configuration,and the stress peak mainly concentrated in the lower neck of femur.(4)Under 350 N load,the displacement of the proximal femur bone block was transverse configuration>biplanar double-supported configuration(F scheme)>positive triangular configuration>Alpha configuration>inverted triangle configuration>rhombus configuration.In the other three loads,the peak displacement of the inverted triangle configuration was smaller than that of the rhombus configuration.The peak displacement was mainly concentrated in the head.(5)The rhombus configuration was the most dispersed in the stress distribution of the proximal femoral bone.The rhombus configuration was the smallest in the peak displacement of the femur.The stress,displacement and peak displacement of the fracture end of each internal fixed model increased gradually with the increase of load.(6)The biomechanical performance of the four diamond-shaped models in the internal fixation of vertical femoral neck fractures is better than that of other groups of models.The four rhomboid models have stable fixation,small displacement value of fracture end and dispersed stress,which can help resist shear force and prevent varus collapse and create a good mechanical environment for fracture healing.

Objective:To investigate the effect of long non-coding (lnc) RNA HCP5 on the radiation sensitivity of glioma cells and underlying mechanism.Methods:The glioma cells U251 and U87 were irradiated with 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 Gy rays as different doses.si-Con, si-HCP5, pcDNA, and pcDNA-HCP5 were transfected into cells U251 and U87, recorded as si-con group, si-HCP5 group, pcDNA group, and pcDNA-HCP5 group.si-Con and si-HCP5 were transfected into cells U251 and U87, and then irradiated with 4 Gy rays, respectively, recorded as IR+ si-con group and IR+ si-HCP5 group, the cells only irradiated with 4 Gy rays were recorded as IR group.After si-HCP5 with anti-miR-con and anti-miR-508-3p was co-transfected into cell U251 and U87, respectively, irradiated with 4 Gy rays, recorded as IR+ si-HCP5+ anti-miR-con group and IR+ si-HCP5+ anti-miR-508-3p group, respectively, the transfection was performed by liposome method.RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of miR-508-3p and HCP5.Cell clone formation assay was used to detect the radiosensitivity of glioma cells.Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis, dual luciferase Reporter gene detection experiments detects fluorescence activity.Results:HCP5 was highly expressed in radiation-treated glioma cells, and miR-508-3p was lowly expressed.After silenced HCP5, U251 and U87 cells had enhanced radiosensitivity and apoptotic rate((16.67±1.68) vs (3.58±0.62), t=21.929, P<0.05; (12.32±1.08) vs (4.48±0.71), t=18.198, P<0.05) was increased, and γ-H2AX( (0.45±0.04) vs (0.23±0.05), t=10.307, P<0.05; (0.38±0.04) vs (0.24±0.03), t=8.400, P<0.05), Cleaved caspase-3((0.37±0.04) vs (0.16±0.03), t=12.600, P<0.05; (0.38±0.04) vs (0.22±0.03), t=9.600, P<0.05) expressions were increased.Compared with silencing HCP5 or radiation treatment alone, silencing HCP5 and radiation treatment of U251 cells simultaneously, the apoptosis rate ((25.34±1.54) vs (16.67±1.68), t=11.413, P<0.05; (25.34±1.54) vs (11.13±1.06), t=22.802, P<0.05) was significantly increased, and γ-H2AX((0.69±0.05) vs (0.45±0.04), t=11.245, P<0.05; (0.69±0.05) vs (0.31±0.04), t=17.804, P<0.05), Cleaved caspase-3 ((0.52±0.06/0.37±0.04, t=6.240, P<0.05) (0.52±0.06/0.34±0.04, t=7.488, P<0.05) expressions were increased.The expressions of p-PI3K ((0.21±0.02) vs (0.52±0.04), t=20.795, P<0.05; (0.26±0.23 ), ( 0.67±0.07), t=5.116, P<0.05), p- AKT ((0.22±0.03) vs (0.66±0.07), t=17.332, P<0.05; (0.23±0.04) vs (0.71±0.03), t=28.800, P<0.05) in U251 and U87 cells were decreased.HCP5 can target the regulation of miR-508-3p expression; interfering with miR-508-3p reversed the effects of silent HCP5 and radiation on the radiation sensitization and apoptosis of U251 and U87 cells.It reduced the expression levels of reducing γ-H2AX and Cleaved caspase-3, while increased the expression levels of p-PI3K and p-AKT. Conclusion:Silencing lncRNA HCP5 can enhance the radiation sensitivity of glioma cells and promote apoptosis.The mechanism may be related with the miR-508-3p and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which will provide new targets and new ideas for glioma treatment.

Objective: To investigate the effect of lncRNA GIHCG on the radiosensitivity of glioma cells and its mechanism. Methods: The expression levels of GIHCG and miR-146a-3p in human brain normal glial cells HEB and glioma cell lines U251, A172, SHG139 and U87 were quantitatively measured by qRT-PCR assay. U251 and SHG139 cells were used for subsequent experiment. After silencing the expression of GIHCG or overexpressing miR-146a-3p in U251 and SHG139 cells, cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, cell radiosensitivity was detected by colony formation assay and the expression levels of CDK1, CyclinD1, Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were measured by Western blot. The bioinformatics software predicted the presence of a binding site for GIHCG and miR-146a-3p. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay and qRT-PCR assay were adopted to verify the targeting relationship between GIHCG and miR-146a-3p. Results: Compared with HEB cells, the expression of GIHCG was significantly up-regulated in glioma U87, U251, A172 and SHG139 cells (all P<0.05), whereas that of miR-146a-3p was remarkably down-regulated (P<0.05). Silencing GIHCG expression or overexpression of miR-146a-3p significantly decreased the U251 and SHG139 cell survival rate, survival fraction and the expression of CDK1, CyclinD1 and Bcl-2 proteins (all P<0.05), whereas considerably increased the apoptotic rate and expression of Bax protein (both P<0.05). GIHCG performed targeted negative regulation of miR-146a-3p expression in U251 and SHG139 cells and inhibition of miR-146a-3p expression reversed the effect of silencing GIHCG on proliferation, apoptosis and radiosensitivity of glioma cells. Conclusion Silencing GIHCG expression up-regulates the expression of miR-146a-3p, thereby enhancing the radiosensitivity of glioma cells.

Aim To screen a more suitable transfection recep-tor,and improve the efficiency of constructing cell lines highly expressing human peptide transporters 1 (hPepT1 ).Methods The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1 (+)-hPepT1 was transfect-ed into MDCK cells and HeLa cells by LipofectamineTM 2000 transfection reagent,respectively.The monoclonal cells were se-lected and cultured.Expression of hPepT1 mRNA and protein were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot,respectively. The uptake capacity of Glysar in transfected cells was examined. Results Compared with wild type cells,the expression of hPepT1 and the uptake of Glysar in transfected MDCK cells and HeLa cells significantly increased (P <0.05).Although the up-take of Glysar in HeLa cells was higher than that of MDCK cells,on the contrary,the expression of hPepT1 and the uptake of Glysar in MDCK-hPepT1 cells was higher than that of HeLa-hPepT1 cells.Conclusion MDCK cells may serve as a more suitable transfected receptor for the construction of a cellular model with high expression of hPepT1 ,which would make the construction of a cell model highly expressing hPepT1 more effi-cient.

Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of direct and remedial rotational atherectomy in the treatment of heavily calcified coronary artery lesions.Methods We retrospectively reviewed 58 patients admitted in the Shanghai Chest Hospital and Liaocheng People Hospital from May 2012 to July 2015 who had received stent implantation and rotational atherectomy.The 58 patients were divided into two groups which were the direct atherectomy group (n =27) and the remedial atherectomy group (n =31).General clinical date,lesion and procedural characteristics,intraoperative complications,in-hospital and follow-up MACCE were compared between the two groups.Results There were no differences between the two groups in general clinical date intraoperative complications,amount of contrast agent used,proceduraltime,rates of in-hospital and follow-up MACCE.Nevertheless,compared with the direct artherectomy group,the remedial group had more number of balloon dilations during procedure [3 (1,5) vs.2 (1,2),P ＜ 0.001] and higher peak cardiac troponin levels [1.1 (0.3,3.0) μg/L vs.0.5 (0.1,2.3) μg/L,P =0.032].Conclusions Remedial rotational atherectomy with drug-eluting stent had the same safety and efficacy as direct atheretomy with drug-eluting stent in treating patients with heavily calcified coronary lesions.It is reasonable and safe to transform routine PCI to remedial rotational atherectomy when the 2.0 mm semi compliant balloon or/and 2.5 mm non-compliant balloon cannot pass through or dilate the lesions.

Abstrate:Aim To construct HEK293 cell line with stable and high expression of sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP ) efficiently and rapidly.Method Vector expressing EGFP-NTCP fusion protein was constructed and verified by DNA sequencing.The pEGFP-NTCP expression vector was transfected into HEK293 cells by FuGENE 6 transfection reagent. The transfected cells with high expression of green fluorescent protein were selected using fluorescence microscope for screening of G418 for 14 days to obtain cell lines stably and highly expressing NTCP.NTCP expression was detected by RT-PCR,qRT-PCR, Western-blot and the uptake experiment of taurocholic acid.Re-sult RT-PCR,qRT-PCR,Western-blot and the uptake experi-ment revealed that compared to the control cells,the expression of NTCP was significantly positive (P<0.01)in stable trans-fected cells showing green fluorescence (P<0.05 ).Conclusion The HEK293 cell line with stable and high expression of NTCP has been established efficiently and rapidly,which provides a cellular model for the study of the mechanism of the uptake of bile acid derivatives.

Objective To investigate human cell division control protein 4(hCDC4) expression and its correlation with the clini‐copathological features in oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC) .Methods We freshly collected 52 samples of surgically resected OSCC tissues and 12 samples of normal tissues .hCDC4 expression in the samples was detected by immunohistochemical staining . The correlation between hCDC4 protein expression and clinicopathological feature was analysed .OSCC cells and Tca8113 were transfected with hCDC4‐siRNA ,cell proliferation and c‐Myc and Cyclin E protein expression were determined by using M TT and Western blot .Results The hCDC4 protein expression in normal tissues was significantly up‐regulated compared to those in OSCC tissues (83 .3% vs .25 .0% ,P < 0 .05) .Clinicopathological analysis revealed that reduced hCDC4 expression was associated with large tumor size ( ≥ 4 cm) and high clinic stage ( Ⅲ + Ⅳ ) (P< 0 .05) .hCDC4 knockdown by siRNA led to increased cell prolifera‐tion and c‐Myc and Cyclin E protein accumulation in Tca8113 cells .Conclusion Loss of hCDC4 may promote tumor progression by resulting in c‐Myc and Cyclin E protein accumulation in OSCC .

Objective To investigate the modulation of EPCs by interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) and the pathogenesis resulting from their dysdifferenfiation after trauma.Method Thirty pigs were divided into a control group (n = 15) and a multiple organ dysfimction syndrome (MODS) group (n = 15), the latter of which were subjected to a "two-hit" injury including hemon'hagic shock and endotoxemia. Phosphorylation of p38MAPK in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was monitored by western blotting. The concentration of IL-1β in peripheral blood plasma was determined by ELISA and the numbers of EPCs with FCM in peripheral blood plasma were monitored. The morbidity rates in the two groups were compared by chi square test. The levels of phosphorylation of p38MAPK in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, the concentmtions of IL-1β in peripheral blood plasma and the numbers of EPCs in the peripheral blood were compared between groups using with Student's t lest. Results The level of p38MAPK phosphorylation was more augmented and the concen-tration of IL-1β higher in peripheral blood mononuelear cells and plasma from MODS pigs compared with those from control pigs; nevertheless the mauler of EPC conspicuously decreased in the peripheral blood (P <0.01). The morbidity rate in the MODS group was much higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01). There were fewer EPCs in the peripheral blood of animals in group M than in the peripheral blood of animals in group C (P <0.01). Conclusions p38MAPK phosphorylation is important for the pathogenesis of MODS. p38MAPK phospho-rylation might cause the concentration of IL-1β in the peripheral blood plasma to rise and could cause a drop in the numbers of EPCs, thereby aggravating the inflanmmatory reaction in MODS.
