ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the surgical technique of autologous tendon transplantation for reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and to analyze its curative effect. Methods: The materials of 30 patients with ACL injury who underwent autologous tendon transplantation and reconstruction were retrospectively analyzed; the average follow-up period of the patients was 24. 1 months. The surgery characteristics and clinical curative effect were explored. Results: The stability of knee joint was examined by drawer test. Lachman test, and internal and external stress tests. The healing of reconstructed ligament tunnel was observed by X-ray. The morphology of ACL and ligament reconstruction before and after operation were observed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The surgical effect was evaluated according to the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scoring system There were no severe complications such as traumatic arthritis, infection, or thrombosis in the patients. The results of anterior drawer test. Lachman test, and internal and external stress tests were changed from positive to negative, suggesting that the knee joint was stable after operation. The postoperative IKDC score of the patients was significantly higher than before operation ( P<0. 05). The X-ray results showed that the blurred or disappeared bone tunnel basically achieved tendon-bone healing, while the MRI showed that the reconstructed ligament signal was uniform and non-tortuous, indicating that the ligament was strengthened. Conclusion: Accurate reconstruction with autologous ligament transplantation in the treatment of ACL injury is safe and feasible with fewer complications∗ which is helpful to restore the stability of knee joint quickly.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influences of donor HBV infection on allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients.Methods We made a retrospective analysis of data of four patients without HBV infection who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from January 2015 to December 2016. Among them donors of these patients all had HBV infection.We then observed the influences of HBV infection on hematopoietic reconstruction,hepatic vein occlusive disease and HBV infection.Results HBV serological conditions of two donors were HbsAb,HbeAb and HbcAb positive,and quantitative of HBV-DNA was negative;the donor and the recipient did not use anti-HBV drugs.One donor was HbsAg,HbeAb and HbcAb positive,and the quantitative of HBV-DNA was also positive.Another donor was HbsAg and HbcAb positive,and the quantitative of HBV-DNA was also positive.These two donors received oral nucleoside therapy one month before stem cell collection and the recipients of these two donors also took nucleoside drugs one week before the conditioning.Hepatitis B immune globulin was given after transfusion of stem cells and the third day and seventh day after transplantation.Quantitative of HbsAb was detected each month and if it was less than 150 IU,hepatitis B immune globulin would be given.All the recipients had hematopoietic reconstruction and no VOD or hepatitis B virus infection occurred.Conclusion Oral administration of nucleoside drugs combined with hepatitis B immunoglobulin can effectively prevent HBV infection in recipients with HBV infection donors.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the inhibitory effect of fluorouracil combined with DDP on the growth of human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63,and to explore its influence on the expressions of transient receptor potential vanilloid 5 (TRPV5 )and transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6 )proteins.Methods The MG-63 cells were cultured by the density of 5 × 104 mL-1 .Fluorouracil group,DDP group,fluorouracil+ DDP group and control group containing 10% FBS were set up.The inhibitory rates of growth of MG-63 cells at different time were detected by CCK-8 assay.The apoptosis of MG-63 cells after treated with different drugs was determined by Hoechst staining Kit.The immunocytochemical staining was used to treatent to detect the expressions of TRPV5 and TRPV6 before and after treatment.Results Fluorouracil and DDP both inhibited the growth of MG-63 cells in a time-and dose- dependent manner.There were a lot of black particles in the MG-63 cells and the cells were smaller,aging or death when they were exposed to fluorouracil or DDP.Compared with 24 h group,the inhibitory rates of proliferation of MG-63 cells after treated with the sigle drug of fluorouracil or DDP for 48 and 72 h were increased significantly (P <0.05).Compared with control group,the apoptotic rates of MG-63 cells in fluorouracil group and DDP group 24,48,and 72 h after treatment were increased (P < 0.01)in a time-dependent manner. The expression levels of TRPV5 and TRPV6 in MG-63 cells 72 h after treatment of fluorouracil and DDP were decreased significantly compared with before treatment (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Fluorouracil, DDP and fluorouracil combined with DDP could significantly inhibit the proliferation of MG-63 cells,induce the apoptosis, and decrease the expression levels of TRPV5 and TRPV6.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical features and the characteristics of coronary artery lesions of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients complicated with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), so as to discuss the pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of these patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of all the in-patients diagnosed with SLE in Changhai Hospital from May 2009 to May 2013, and those combined with ACS as confirmed by coronary angiography (CAG) were taken as the observing group; CAG-confirmed ACS patients at their fist onset without connective tissue disease during Jan. 2013 to May 2013 were taken as controls. The traditional risk factors of coronary heart diseases, age of first occurrence of cardiovascular event, cumulative time of corticosteroid therapy and CAG results were retrospectively analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results Twelve patients were finally enrolled in the observing group and 124 cases in the control group. Compared to the control group, SLE patients had significantly less traditional risk factors ([1.21±0.97] factor per case vs [2.48±1.29] factor per case, P<0.01) and were at a younger age ([45.0±12.8] years vs [57.0±16.4] years,P<0.01) at the first ACS event. CAG showed vascular occlusion, stenosis, aneurysm and acute thrombosis in SLE patients with ACS, with 5 patients having occluded blood vessels (restricted to the left main, left anterior descending artery, circumflex artery and right coronary artery) and all having intracoronary thrombosis. The incidence rate of occluded blood vessels was significantly higher in the observing group compared with that in the control group (41.67% [5/12]) vs 23.39% [29/124], P<0.05). Conclusion SLE patients combined with ACS have less traditional coronary artery disease risks at the first onset of ACS, but at a younger age, with higher incidence of coronary artery occlusion, mostly having intracoronary thrombosis.
