Objective To investigate the protective effects of antitumor necrosis factor-α antibody （TNF-αAb） on lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass （CPB） and their mechanisms. Methods Forty healthy New Zealand white rabbits，weighting 2.0-2.5 kg，male or female，were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 rabbits in each group. In groupⅠ，the rabbits received CPB and pulmonary arterial perfusion. In group Ⅱ，the rabbits received CPB and pulmonary arterial perfusion with TNF-αAb. In group Ⅲ，the rabbits received CPB only. In group Ⅳ，the rabbits only received sham surgery. Neutrophils count，TNF-α and malondialdehyde （MDA） concentrations of the blood samples from the left and right atrium as well as oxygenation index were examined before and after CPB in the 4 groups. Pathological and ultrastructural changes of the lung tissues were observed under light and electron microscopes. Lung water content，TNF-α mRNA and apoptoticindex of the lung tissues were measured at different time points. Results Compared with group Ⅳ，after CPB，the rabbitsin group Ⅰ to group Ⅲ showed significantly higher blood levels of neutrophils count，TNF-α and MDA（P＜0.05），higherTNF-α mRNA expression，apoptosis index and water content of the lung tissues （P＜0.05），and significantly lower oxyg-enation index （P＜0.05） as well as considerable pathomorphological changes in the lung tissues. Compared with group Ⅱ，after CPB，the rabbits in groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ had significantly higher blood concentrations of TNF-α （5 minutes after aortic declamping，220.43±16.44 pg/ml vs.185.27±11.78 pg/ml，P＜0.05；249.99±14.09 pg/ml vs.185.27±11.78 pg/ml，P＜0.05），significantly higher apoptosis index （at the time of CPB termination，60.7‰±13.09‰ vs. 37.9‰±7.78‰，P＜0.05；59.6‰±7.74‰ vs. 37.9‰±7.78‰，P＜0.05），significantly higher blood levels of neutrophils count and MDA （P＜0.05），significantly higher TNF-α mRNA expression and water content of the lung tissues （P＜0.05），and significantly loweroxygenation index （P＜0.05） as well as considerable pathomorphological changes in the lung tissues. Compared with groupⅠ，rabbits in group Ⅲ had significantly higher above parameters （P＜0.05） but lower oxygenation index （P＜0.05） only at 30 minutes after the start of CPB. Conclusion Pulmonary artery perfusion with TNF-αAb can significantly attenuate inflammatory lung injury and apoptosis of the lung tissues during CPB.
63 normal human gallbladders (non-stone group) and 47 inflammed cholesterol stone gallbladders(stone group) were assayed for the amount of macrophages(ΜΦ),the levels of tumor necro-sis factor (TNF) and interleukin 1(1L-1).It was found that in stone group,the amount of ΜΦ was significantly higher than in non-stone group(ΜΦ4101.90±295.72 vs 572.13±30.07AU,Plt;0.01).The levels of TNF and 1L-1 released mainly from the MΦ in stone group were also significantly increased in comparison with those in non-stone group(TNF 18.12±2.03 vs 4.45±0.39ng/mg,Plt;0.001;1L-1 102.42±7.84 vs 66.75±9.50u/mg protein,Plt;0.05).These results suggest that the activited ΜΦ and increases of TNF,1L-1 may be closely related to the inflammatory reaction in gallbladders and the formation of cholesterol gallstones.
Objective To evaluate the effect of composite (bFGF/PDPB) of basic fibroblast growth factor（bFGF） and partially deproteinized bone (PDPB) on the repair of femoral head defect. Methods Forty-eight femoral heads with defect derived from 24 New Zealand rabbits were divided into 3 groups at random, which were implanted with bFGF/PDPB(group A), PDPB(group B) and nothing(group C) respectively.The rabbits were sacrificed at 2,4,and8 weeks after operation, and then the femoral heads were obtained. The specimens injected with Chinese ink were created. Then X-ray examination, histopathological and morphological examination of blood vessel, and image analysis were made. Results The bone defects healed completely 8 weeks after operation in group A. The implants in the repaired tissue were not substituted completely in group B. The bone defects did not heal completely in group C. Two weeks after operation, affluent newly formed vessels were seen in repaired areas in groupA. No significant difference between group A and group B was observed 8 weeks after operation. In group C, newly formed vessels were scarce 2, 4, and 8 weeks after operation. There were 3 sides rated excellent, 2 good and 1 fair in group A; 1 excellent, 2 good, 2 fair and 1 poor in group B; and 1 fair and 5 poor in group C according to the X-ray evaluation 8 weeks after operation. Eight weeks after operation, the volume fraction of bone trabecula in repaired tissue was higher in group A than that in group B (Plt;0.05), and the fraction in group C was thelowest among the 3 groups (Plt;0.05). Conclusion The composite ofbFGF and PDPB can effectively promote the repair of femoral head defect of rabbit.
摘要:目的:通过建立高脂血症脂肪肝动物模型,探讨杜仲叶醇提取物(alcohol extractive of Folium Eucommiae,AEFE)对脂肪肝的防治作用。方法:高脂饮食8周加维生素D36×105IU/kg分3d腹腔注射，建立大鼠高脂血症脂肪肝动物模型。各给药组从造模第3周开始分别灌胃给予洛伐他汀(4mg·kg-1·d-1)、 AEFE(70、140和420mg·kg-1·d-1),共给药6周。各组每天灌服等量生理盐水，灌胃容积为0.5mL/100g体重。结果:AEFE用药6周后显示,各剂量组血清胆固醇、甘油三酯和游离脂肪酸、谷丙转氨酶和谷草转氨酶均较模型组明显降低(Plt;005),肝组织丙二醛含量降低和超氧化物歧化酶活性升高,肝脂肪变性和炎症反应减轻,尤以中剂量组作用最明显(Plt;001)。AEFE对肝内肿瘤坏死因子α浓度无明显影响。结论:AEFE改善高脂性大鼠肝脏脂肪变性,此作用可能与其降血脂、抗氧化损伤有关。
Objective To explore the effect of minimally invasive and mini-incision surgery (MIS) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) on late osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). Methods From March 2003, Eighteen patients (22 hips) with ONFH underwent MIS in THA. Their ages ranged from 24to 57 years, including 13 males and 5 females. The mean body mass index ranged from 17.1 to 30.1(24.6 on average). The Harris hip score was 46 points before operation. Modified posterior-lateral approach was adopted, and the MIS THA was performed by cementless prosthesis. As a comparison, 18 patients (22 hips) were performed by conventional THA at the same period. The data, including bleeding volume during operation, incision length, operative time, and postoperative function recovery, were compared. Results Follow-ups were done for 6 to 20 months (11 months on average). Dislocation occurred in one patient that underwent conventional THA 2 days after operation. No complication occurred in MIS THA group. The incision lengths ranged from 8.7 to 10.5 cm (9.3 cm on average) in MIS THA group, being statistically different (Plt;0.01). There was no significant difference in Harris scoring of the function between the two groups both before the operation and after the operation (Pgt;0.05). The operative time was almost the same, but the bleeding volume in MIS THA group was less (Plt;0.05). The function recovery was faster in MIS THA group.Conclusion The MIS THA is an alternative to the treatment of late ONFH. The advantages of MIS THA are fewer trauma, less bleeding volume, and faster recovery. The MIS THA should be performed by surgeons with rich experiences in THA and hospitals with necessary instruments.
In order to study the curative effect of vascularized bone graft in the treatment of avascular necrosis of talus, 24 patients were treated with vascularized bone grafts, in which 9 cases had received 1st cuneiform bone graft with a malleolaris anteriomedialis, 4 cases with the 1st cuneiform bone graft with the medial tarsal artery and 11 cases with vascularized cuboid bone graft with the lateral tarsal artery. All of the patients were followed up for 3-5.5 years. The clinical observation and X-ray examination showed that function of the ankle joint was completely or almost normal in 16 cases, and the bone repair was excellent. There was slight pain in the ankle joint in 4 cases. The efficiency rate of the treatment was 83.3%. It could be concluded that vascularized bone graft might be an effective method in the treatment of avascular necrosis of talus.
Abstract To understand the femoral head activity in old fracture of femoral neck, 159 cases from 1982 to 1994 were observed through X-ray film, pathological sections, transparent electronic microscope, tetracycline label technique and ECT examination. The results showed that under a status without stress, the avascular femoral head tended to be repaired in its natural way. The collapse of femoral head was caused by stress to some extent duringthe active repair process. Great attention should be paid in treating fracture of femoral neck that load should never be put on the femoral head during the process of fracture healing.
