微创DHS内固定与传统DHS内固定治疗老年股骨粗隆间骨折比较研究

目的:对微创动力髋螺钉(dynamic hip screw,DHS)内固定和传统DHS内固定治疗老年股骨粗隆间骨折的效果进行比较.方法:将91例老年股骨粗隆间骨折患者随机分为两组,传统组46例采用传统方式置入内固定物治疗,微创组45例采用微创方式置入内固定物.对两组手术创伤大小、术后并发症、骨折愈合及功能恢复情况进行比较.主要通过考察手术切口长度、出血量、输血量、血红蛋白下降幅度、术后术区肢体肿胀情况、血沉变化等来反映手术创伤大小.结果:两组手术创伤差异有统计学意义,传统组大于微创组(P＜0.05).微创组有2例复位不良,传统组有3例复位不良,两组均无深部血肿发生.传统组围手术期死亡2例,其余患者均顺利出院,获12～30个月随访,平均17.1个月.两组各有1例在随访期间死于其它内科疾病,其余骨折均获愈合.术后平均骨折愈合时间微创组3.6个月,传统组3.8个月.术后1年髋关节功能优良率微创组84.1%,传统组79.1%,两组差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05).结论:微创DHS内固定治疗老年股骨隆间骨折,手术创伤小,有利于围手术期恢复和髋关节功能康复.     

两种兔源内毒素结合蛋白的分离、纯化及其体外生物学活性的对比研究

目的　从烧伤合并内毒素血症致多器官损害家兔血清中分离纯化内毒素结合蛋白 ,并初步对比研究它们的生物学活性。方法　兔血清蛋白质通过二步离子交换层析 (Bio Rex 70Resin、Mono Q)及凝胶过滤分离纯化 ,并经流式细胞分析实验、绵羊红细胞凝聚实验、氨基末端氨基酸残基测序等方法鉴定 ,再将所获蛋白质作用于体外培养的人单核细胞 (U937) ,观测其分泌TNFα等细胞因子的生物效应。结果　获得两种具有促进内毒素 (LPS)与外周血单核细胞 (PBMC)结合的蛋白质 ,其中一种相对分子质量为 6 0× 10 4 ,其N端 10个氨基酸序列为TNPGLITRIT ,证实为兔内毒素结合蛋白 (LBP) ;另一种蛋白质相对分子质量为 4 8× 10 4 ,其N端 10个氨基酸序列为GSQGTFTSEE ,与NCBI蛋白质库中的氨基酸序列进行比较 ,未发现相同序列 ,命名为p48。结论　p48与LBP具有相似的生物学功能 ,p48的生物学活性稍弱于LBP。提示体内除LBP外 ,p48也同样起着介导LPS的毒性作用。这可能是近年国外研究中阻断LBP的活性后 ,机体毒性反应并无明显减轻的原因之一。     

Computed tomography simulation with superquadrics

Accurate and efficient simulation of an x-ray transform for representative structures plays an important role in research and development of x-ray CT, for the evaluation and improvement of CT image reconstruction algorithms, in particular. Superquadrics are a family of three-dimensional objects, which can be used to model a variety of anatomical structures. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the computation of x-ray transforms for superellipsoids and tori with a monochromatic x-ray. Their usefulness is demonstrated by projection and reconstruction of a superquadric-based thorax phantom. Our work indicates that superquadric modeling provides a more realistic visualization than quadratic modeling, and a faster computation than spline methods.

Exaggerated respiratory chemosensitivity and association with SaO2 level at 3568 m in obesity

To investigate whether obesity is associated with alterations in respiratory chemosensitivity, we compared the ventilatory response to hypoxia (HVR) and hypercapnia (HCVR) in 9 obese men (BMI: 37.0+/-4.3 kg m(-2)) and 10 lean men (BMI: 25.8+/-4.8 kg m(-2)). HVR (DeltaVE, L min(-1) per DeltaSaO2, %) was measured by a progressive isocapnic hypoxia technique, and HCVR (DeltaVE/DeltaPETCO2, L min(-1)Torr(-1)) was measured by a progressive hypercapnic method. HCVR, was greater (p<0.001) in the obese men (2.68+/-0.78) than in the lean men (1.4+/-0.45) as was HVR (p<0.05) (1.26+/-0.65 versus 0.71+/-0.43, respectively). The difference (DeltaSaO2, 4.30+/-3.69 and 10.54+/-3.45 in the lean and obese men, respectively, p<0.01) between daytime (86+/-1 and 86+/-1%) and nighttime SaO2 (81+/-3 and 76+/-4%) at a simulated altitude of 3658 m was significantly (p<0.05) correlated with both HVR (r=0.51) and HCVR (r=0.48). These results suggest that chemosensitivity in mildly obese men is increased, not blunted. Furthermore, otherwise healthy, obese individuals have the potential for significant desaturation during sleep at high altitude possibly due to exaggerated sleep-disordered breathing.

Ha-VP39 binding to actin and the influence of F-actin on assembly of progeny virions

Summary We present evidence that actin is necessary for the successful assembly of HaNPV virions. Purified nucleocapsid protein Ha-VP39 of Heliothis armigera nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HaNPV) was found to be able to bind to actin in vitro without assistance, as demonstrated by Western blot and isothermal titration calorimeter. H and binding constants (K) detected by isothermal titration calorimeter strongly suggested that Ha-VP39 first binds actin to seed the formation of hexamer complex of actin, and the hexamers then link to each other to form filaments, and the filaments finally twist into cable structures. The proliferation of HaNPV was completely inhibited in Hz-AM1 cells cultivated in the medium containing 0.5µg/ml cytochalasin D (CD) to prevent polymerization of actin, while its yield was reduced to 10^–4 in the presence of 0.1µg/ml CD. Actin concentration and the viral DNA synthesis were not significantly affected by CD even though the progeny virions assembled in the CD treated cells were morphologically different from normal ones and resulted in fewer plaques in plaque assayThe authors equally contributed to the work.The authors equally contributed to the work.

Characterization of knitted polymeric scaffolds for potential use in ligament tissue engineering

Different scaffolds have been designed for ligament tissue engineering. Knitted scaffolds of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) yarns and co-polymeric yarns of PLLA and poly(glycolic acid) (PLGA) were characterized in the current study. The knitted scaffolds were immersed in medium for 20 weeks, before mass loss, molecular weight, pH value change in medium were tested; changes in mechanical properties were evaluated at different time points. Results showed that the knitted scaffolds had 44% porosity. There was no significant pH value change during degradation, while there was obvious mass loss at initial 4 week, as well as smooth molecular weight drop of PLLA. PLGA degraded more quickly, while PLLA kept its integrity for at least 20 weeks. Young's modulus increased while tensile strength and strain at break decreased with degradation time; however, all of them could maintain the basic requirements for ACL reconstruction. It showed that the knitted polymeric structures could serve as potential scaffolds for tissue-engineered ligaments.
