Objective To investigate the effect of tissue engineering bone compounded in vitro by nanohydroxyapatite/collagen/ polylactic acid (nHAC/PLA) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) in repairing rabbit critical calvarial defects. Methods Forty eight New Zealand rabbits, weighting 2.0-2.5 kg, were made the models of critical cranial defects(15 mm in diameter) and divided into 4 groups randomly. Defects were repaired with autoflank bone in the positive control group; with no implant in the blank control group; with nHAC/PLA in the negative control; and with active nHAC/PLA(AnHAC/PLA) in the experimental group(the average quality of each AnHAC/PLA absorbed rhBMP-2 was 1.431 mg). The reapir results were observed through X-ray,HE dyeing and Masson’s trichrism dyeing after 8 and 16 weeks. Results The difference of bone formation was observed by X-ray block degree of skull defect area at 8 and 16 weeks. In the 8 th week and 16 th week, the radiopacities on cranial defect were 67.21%±2.06% and 86.48%±1.73% in the positive control group； 5.84%±1.92% and 9.48%±2.72% in the blank control group; 19.13%±2.51% and 35.67%±3.28% in the negative control group; and 58.84%±2.55% and 8561%±3.36% in the experimental group. There were significant differences between the negative control and the positive control group, and between the experimental group and the positive control group at 8 weeks(Plt;0.05) . There were significant differences between the negative control and blank group, and between the experiment and the blank group at 8 and 16 weeks(P＜0.05). The histology observation showed that the width of bone trabecula at 16 weeks was more than that at 8 weeks and bone defectwas full of bone tissue in positive control group. The bone defect was full of fibrous tissue at 8 and 16 weeks, and there was no new bone in the blank group. The bone defect was full of remnant material and fibrous tissue in the negative control group. The implanted area was replaced by the new bone at 8 weeks and the new bone was lamellar at 16 weeks in the experimental group; the residual material was less in defect area and there were more osteoblasts surrounding. Conclusion The nHAC/PLA is a good scaffoldmaterial of rhBMP-2 and AnHAC/PLA has agood ability in repairing bone defect. So it is hopeful to be applied in the clnical repair of large bone defect.
Objective To analyze the failure factors of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in the treatment of geriatric intertrochanteric fractures. Methods The clinical data of 136 cases of intertrochanteric fracture treated with PFNA internal fixation between May 2015 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 106 males and 30 females, aged from 60 to 80 years, with an average age of 75.5 years. According to Evans-Jensen classification, there were 45 cases of type Ⅰ, 50 cases of type Ⅱ, 23 cases of type Ⅲ, 13 cases of type Ⅳ, and 5 cases of type Ⅴ. The time from injury to operation was 2-4 days, with an average of 3 days. According to the X-ray films before and after operation, the fracture types (stable and unstable), reduction quality (according to Baumgaertner’s criteria), integrity of lateral wall and posteromedial cortex of the patients with failure of PFNA internal fixation were summarized, and the causes of failure were analyzed. Results All the 136 patients were followed up 7-18 months (mean, 13.6 months). There were 17 cases (12.5%) of PFNA internal fixation failure after operation, including 3 cases of stable fracture and 14 cases of unstable fracture; the quality of fracture reduction was excellent in 2 cases, good in 5 cases, and poor in 10 cases; 10 cases with complete lateral wall and 7 cases with defect; 9 cases with complete posteromedial cortex and 8 cases with defect. Reasons for failure of internal fixation: ① There were 8 cases of coxa varus at 12 weeks after operation due to the loss of posteromedial cortex of femoral intertrochanteric, 7 of them continued non-weight-bearing observation and fracture healed at 6 months after operation; 1 case underwent total hip arthroplasty with spiral blade excision after operation. ② There were 7 cases of internal fixation failure caused by lateral wall defect, including 2 cases of screw blade retraction, continued non-weight-bearing observation, and removed the internal fixator after fracture healing; 2 cases of malunion of rotation with the rotation of no more than 15°, fracture healed at 6 months after operation without special treatment; and 3 cases of rupture of lateral intertrochanteric wall during operation, continued non-weight-bearing observation and fracture healed at 6 months after operation. ③ The distal locking of the main screw was deviated in 2 cases during operation. One of them was found and replanted in time during operation, and 1 case was found with fracture of femoral shaft on 3 days after operation, following 1 year of non-weight-bearing observation and fracture ending healing. Conclusion The types of intertrochanteric fractures (especially unstable fractures), the integrity of the proximal lateral wall of femur, and the defect of the posteromedial cortex are the internal risk factors for the success or failure of PFNA in the treatment of geriatric intertrochanteric fractures. The effective protection of the lateral wall during operation and the good quality of fracture reduction are the external factors that must be paid attention to.
The judgment of the type of arrhythmia is the key to the prevention and diagnosis of early cardiovascular disease. Therefore, electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis has been widely used as an important basis for doctors to diagnose. However, due to the large differences in ECG signal morphology among different patients and the unbalanced distribution of categories, the existing automatic detection algorithms for arrhythmias have certain difficulties in the identification process. This paper designs a variable scale fusion network model for automatic recognition of heart rhythm types. In this study, a variable-scale fusion network model was proposed for automatic identification of heart rhythm types. The improved ECG generation network (EGAN) module was used to solve the imbalance of ECG data, and the ECG signal was reproduced in two dimensions in the form of gray recurrence plot (GRP) and spectrogram. Combined with the branching structure of the model, the automatic classification of variable-length heart beats was realized. The results of the study were verified by the Massachusetts institute of technology and Beth Israel hospital (MIT-BIH) arrhythmia database, which distinguished eight heart rhythm types. The average accuracy rate reached 99.36%, and the sensitivity and specificity were 96.11% and 99.84%, respectively. In conclusion, it is expected that this method can be used for clinical auxiliary diagnosis and smart wearable devices in the future.
Objective To review the research progress of Toll-like receptors （TLRs） signaling and its effects in organ transplantation. Methods The structural and functional features of TLRs and their ligands were summarized，the literatures in recent years about the research progress of TLRs signaling in animal experiment and clinical organ transplantation were reviewed. Results TRLs played an important role in the organ transplantation，the activation of TLRs could activate the specific immune system，and contribute to ischemic reperfusion injury，acute and chronic allograft rejections，and induce the immune tolerance. Early treatment intervention could reduce the activation of TRLs through ischemic reperfusion injury in the organ transplantation，and improve the allograft survival. The efficient immunosuppressive drugs which aimed at the related immunosuppressive target in immune and its signal transduction pathway could reduce ischemic reperfusion injury in the organ transplantation and immune rejection. Conclusions TRLs signaling plays an important role in ischemic reperfusion injury，immune rejection，and immune regulation.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo summarize the experience in diagnosis and treatment for chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis or complicated with other thyroid diseases． MethodsSeventyseven patients were diagnosed as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis or complicated with other thyroid diseases by operation and histological examination at this department from November 2002 to March 2005. All their clinical records including general information, the results of careful physical examination， thyroid correlated hormone tests， color Doppler, fine needle aspiration cytological examination and some intraoperative examinations have been retrospectively analyzed in this report. ResultsThere were 53 cases of simple chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, 10 cases complicated by papillary carcinoma， 1 case complicated by follicular carcinoma， 2 cases complicated by nonHodgkin’s lymphoma, 6 cases complicated by nodular goiter, 4 cases complicated by follicular adenoma, and 1 complicated by parathyroid adenoma. Almost all the operations were successfull and the symptoms of the diseases were alleviated. Seventytwo patients had been followed up ranging from two months to two years differently and none of them relapsed. Sixtythree of these patients have received thyrine inhibition and vicariousness treatment, 2 patients who complicated by nonHodgkin’s lymphoma had been hospitalized and 7 patients complicated by carcinoma were treated with iodine131. ConclusionThe clinical manifestations of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis are complex, and it often complicated with other thyroid disease, which make it difficult to diagnose the diseases before operation. However, some ancillary methods such as careful physical examination， thyroid correlated hormone tests， color Doppler and fine needle aspiration cytological examination may improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis. Intraoperative thyroid lamellar section and frozen histological examination are also very important for intraoperative diagnosis and operative modality selection．

Based on the conclusion of recent clinical research conducted by foreign countries, there is no statistical difference in outcomes between real and placebo acupuncture. This paper analyzes the weaknesses of methods currently being used by foreign countries to compare the effects of real and placebo acupuncture, striving for a new way to test for the placebo effect; a way that is more scientific, more suitable for the current conditions of China, while at the same time capable of being recognized internationally. This paper describes a new acupuncture placebo-controlled method. Under the condition of complete patient trust, we may ensure an ideal placebo effect to the greatest extent by minimizing the potential curative effects in the placebo group. From the actual clinical practice, by randomized controlled trial comparing acupuncture and medicine, using the concept as the double-dummy clinical trail, this paper explores the “double-dummy – non-specific sites – random sampling” method in the clinical setting as a way to form a new acupuncture clinical research model of comparison between acupuncture and medicine.
