【Abstract】 Objective To review the recent progress of hi p resurfacing arthroplasty. Methods Literatureconcerning hip resurfacing arthroplasty and current achievements was extensively and comprehensively reviewed. Results The new metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty made much progress especially in materials and technology, and the results were satisfactory for short-term follow-up. This was increasingly widely used especially in treating young patients. But there were still some problems such as elevation of metal ions which had already aroused publ ic attention. Conclusion The new metal-onmetal hip resurfacing arthroplasty is an efficient method in the treatment of adult hip joint disease and has an encouraging future, but long-term follow-up is still needed.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of lung tissue flap repairing esophagus defect with an inner chitosan tube stentin in order to complete repairing and reconsruction of the esophagus defect.MethodsFifteen Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups， experiment group(n=10): esophagus defect was repaired with lung tissue flap having inner chitosan tube stent; control group(n=5): esophagus defect was repaired with lung tissue flap without inner chitosan tube stent; and then the gross and histological apearance in both groups were observed at 2, 4,8 weeks after operation, barium sulphate X-ray screen were observed at 10 weeks after operation.ResultsSix rabbits survived for over two weeks in experiment group, lung tissue flap healed with esophageal defect, squamous metaplasia were found on the surface of lung tissue flap in experiment group. At 10 weeks after operation, barium sulphate examination found that barium was fluent through the esophageal and no narrow or reversed peristalsis, the peristalsis was good in experiment group.Four rabbits survived for two weeks and the lung tissue flap healed with esophageal defect, fibrous tissue hyperplasy on the surface of the lung tissue flap in control group. At 10 weeks after operation, barium sulphate examination found that barium was fluent through the esophageal and slight narrow or reversed peristalsis, the peristalsis was not good in control group, otherwise.ConclusionIt is a feasible method to repair the esophageal defect with lung tissue flap with the inner chitosan stent.
【Abstract】Objective To investigate the effects of human interlukin-13 (hIL-13) on the expression of E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) on bovine aortic endothelial cells(BAECs) stimulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α), and to provide experimental basis for hIL-13 inducing immunity endure and relieving the repulsion reaction of xenograft. Methods BAECs were co-cultured with different concentrations of hIL-13 for 2 h and followed by co-cultured with 4 ng/ml TNF-α for 6 h or 18 h. The expressions of E-selectin and ICAM-1 on BAECs were detected by Cell-ELISA. The effect of hIL-13 on activity of BAECs was detected by MTT colorimetry.Results BAECs pretreateded with hIL-13 could inhibit the expression of E-selectin and ICAM-1 induced by TNF-α, and showed a doesdependent manner from 5 ng/ml to 20 ng/ml of hIL-13 (P＜0.01). The experimental result of BAECs activity measured by MTT proved no significant difference in the activities of BAECs in every experimental groups compared with control group’s. Conclusion hIL-13 could inhibit the expression of E-selectin and ICAM-1 on BAECs induced by TNF-α, which may contribute to the xenotransplant immune tolerance.
ObjectivesTo investigate the ultrasound findings of the synovial hemangioma of knee (SHK) and to evaluate its value in clinical diagnosis.MethodsThe ultrasonographic manifestations and clinical data of 10 patients with SHK confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed and compared with MRI findings, surgery and pathological results.ResultsSeven cases of SHK (6 cases of diffuse type, 1 case of limited type) were assessed by ultrasound, including 1 case of vascular origin, 1 case of supraorbital sac origin, 1 case with pigmented villonodular synovitis, 1 case with thrombosis, 2 cases accompanied with bone erosion and osteophyte formation, and 3 cases with joint cavity effusion. Ultrasonic findings of SHK were as followed: 7 cases of SHK were manifestate as diffuse mass with unclear boundary, irregular shape and uneven echo mass; 5 cases had mixed-echo mass with reticular structures inside, an increased volume in erect position and positive CDFI compression test; 1 case had heterogeneous hypoechoic mass with a nodular appearance and the positive compression test; 1 case as poorly-demarcated, irregular shape, heterogeneous hyperechoic mass without obvious blood flow signals under the compression test. There were no characteristic ultrasonic findings from other 3 cases of SHK.ConclusionsDiffuse SHKs have characteristic ultrasonograms. SHKs with localized and significant synovial hyperplasia have no specific ultrasonic manifestation and are easily misdiagnosed. Ultrasound is convenient, noninvasive and inexpensive. It can accurately evaluate the involvement of knee joint capsule and surrounding soft tissues. It can be used as the first line diagnostic modality for routine scanning of SHKs.
