Objective To investigate the effects of human recombinant hepatocyte growth factor(rh-HGF) on the expression of c-Met in intima of allograft vessels after cardiac transplantation in rats. Methods Heterotopic heart transplantation were established in abdominal cavity with eighty Wistar rats and forty SD rats. Donors’ cardiac grafts from Wistar rats were transplanted to SD rats(allograft) or Wistar rats(isograft).Sixty recipient rats were divided into three groups, control group：20 Wistar rats were injected with normal saline 1ml/kg·d intraperitoneally after transplantation; cyclosporine A (CsA) group:20 SD rats were injected with CsA 5mg/kg·d intraperitoneally on operation day; rhHGF group:20 SD rats were injected with rh-HGF 500μg/kg·d and CsA 5mg/kg·d intraperitoneally on operation day. The cardiac grafts were harvested at the 15th day and 60th day after transplantation. The crosssection of vascular tissues were used for immunohistochemistrical staining of c-Met, and investigated the expression of c-Met messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA ) in intima of allograft vessels by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The pathologic changes of allograft coronary vessels were observed with histopathological method. Results The allograft coronary arteries showed minimal intimal thickening, the endothelium and internal elastic lamina remained almost intact in rh-HGF group after transplantation.The expression of c-Met and c-Met mRNA in intima of allograft vessels after transplantation in rhHGF group were significantly higher than those in CsA group and control group（expression of c-Met at 60d: 1.85±0.26 vs. 0.96±0.10, t=8.491,P=0.000;1.85±0.26 vs. 0.58±0.03, t=13.725,P=0.000; expression of c-Met mRNA at 60d: 192±0.22 vs. 0.88±0.07, t=11.940,P=0.000;1.92±0.22 vs. 0.42±0.02,t=19.206,P=0.000）. Conclusion rh-HGF may prevent the progression of cardiac allograft vasculopathy through upregulating the expression of c-Met to stimulate endothelial cell repair and growth.

ObjectiveTo detect the expressions of signal peptide-CUB-EGF-like domain containing protein 3 (SCUBE3) and specificity protein 1 (SP1) in breast cancer tissues, and explore relations between their protein expressions and clinicopathologic features or prognosis.MethodsFrom February 2013 to October 2015, the breast cancer tissues and the corresponding adjacent normal breast tissues of 80 women patients with breast cancer in the Mianyang Central Hospital were selected, and the expressions of SCUBE3 and SP1 proteins in the tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relations between the expressions of SCUBE3 and SP1 and clinicopathologic parameters of breast cancer were analyzed, the correlation between the SCUBE3 and SP1 was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival of patients with breast cancer; and Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of overall survival of patients with breast cancer.ResultsThe positive rates of SCUBE3 and SP1 proteins expressions in the breast cancer tissues were higher than those in the corresponding adjacent normal breast tissues (P<0.05). The positive rates of SCUBE3 and SP1 protein expressions were higher in the breast cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis and molecular subtypes of Luminal A or B (P<0.05), and the positive rates of SCUBE3 protein expression were higher in the breast cancer tissues with TNM stage Ⅱ–Ⅳ and high Ki67 (P<0.05). The retsult of Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the positive rates of SCUBE3 and SP1 proteins expressions in the breast cancer tissues was positive correlation (χ2=7.979, rs=0.316, P=0.005). Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the overall survival of the patients with positive expression of SCUBE3 or SP1 protein was worse than that of the patients with negative expression (χ2=4.042, P=0.044; χ2=10.676, P=0.001). The Cox proportional hazards regression model multivariate analysis showed that the positive SCUBE3 (HR=6.020, P=0.016), positive SP1 (HR=4.077, P=0.018), lymph node metastasis (HR=3.518, P=0.017), and higher Ki67 expression (HR=7.989, P<0.001) were the independent risk factors of overall survival for the patients with breast cancer.ConclusionPositive rates of SCUBE3 and SP1 proteins expressions in breast cancer tissues are higher and there is a positive correlation between them, which are closely related to clinicopathologic parameters such as lymph node metastasis and molecular subtypes and prognosis of patients with breast cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the pathological and microstructural features of the osteonecrosis samples from subjects with steroid-induced or alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).MethodsThirty femoral head bone samples were collected from ONFH patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty between August 2015 and April 2016. There were 22 males and 8 females. The etiology of ONFH was alcohol-induced in 15 patients and steroid-induced in 15 patients. No significant difference of Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage was found between alcohol-induced and steroid-induced ONFH (Z=2.143, P=0.143). The femoral head bone samples in different areas (necrosis, sclerosis, and normal) from involved subjects was taken, and gross observation, HE staining were carried out (the rate of empty lacunaes was calculated). The intact femoral head was scanned by Micro-CT and the parameters of bone microstructure were analyzed quantitatively. The parameters included bone volume to total volume (BV/TV), bone surface area to bone volume ratio (BS/BV), bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), structural model index (SMI), trabecular plate number (Tb. N), trabecular plate thickness (Tb. Th), and trabecular spacing (Tb. Sp).ResultsAs observed in hard tissue slicing of both groups, the integrity of trabecular bone was destructed and cystic lesions left by the bone resorption was replaced by granulation tissues. Significant revascularization was found in granulation tissues of steroid-induced ONFH, but not in the alcohol-induced one. HE staining showed that the bone marrow structure was disordered in both group, as well as bone marrow necrosis and empty bone lacunaes noticed. The structure and integrity of trabecular bone of steroid-induced ONFH was far more severe whereas that of alcohol-induced one were thicker and better. The rate of empty bone lacunae in necrosis area of steroid-induced group was significantly higher than that of alcohol-induced one (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found in sclerotic and normal areas between 2 groups (P>0.05). Micro-CT showed that necrotic and sclerotic areas of both groups were low bone density. Bone structure in the former area was mostly heterogeneous. Further blood-rich granulation tissues formation was observed in the same places of hard tissue slicing, while the sclerotic one wasn’t. The results of quantitative bone structure analysis showed that BV/TV, BMD, BMC, Tb.N, and Tb.Th of the necrotic and sclerotic areas of steroid-induced ONFH were significantly lower than those of alcohol-induced one (P<0.01), BS/BV, SMI, and Tb.Sp of steroid-induced ONFH were significantly higher than those of alcohol-induced one (P<0.01). No significant difference among the indexes above was found in the normal areas of both groups (P>0.05).ConclusionThe integrity of trabecular bone was destroyed in necrotic area of steroid-induced or alcohol-induced ONFH. However, they performed different features of osteonecrosis and contrasted with each other. The steroid-induced ONFH was characterized by multiple " osteolytic bone destruction”, while the alcohol-induced one was manifested by some kinds of " coagulative destruction”.
ObjectiveTo investigate the short- and mid-term effectiveness of revision hip arthroplasty by using impaction bone allograft and acetabular components in treatment of severe acetabular defects.MethodsA clinical data of 42 patients (44 hips) with severe acetabular defects between February 2011 and May 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent revision hip arthroplasty by using impaction bone allograft and acetabular components. Cemented cup (24 cases, 24 hips) and non-cemented cup (18 cases, 20 hips) were used in the revision surgery. There were 17 males and 25 females with an average age of 62.8 years (range, 22-84 years). The interval between the first total hip arthroplasty and revision was 2.5-12.0 years (mean, 8.3 years). The patients were accepted revision surgery for prosthesis aseptic loosening in 32 hips (31 cases) and the periprosthetic infection in 12 hips (11 cases). Twenty-nine hips (28 cases) were Paprosky type ⅢA and 15 hips (14 cases) were type ⅢB. The preoperative Harris score was 22.25±10.31 and the height of hip rotation center was (3.67±0.63) cm and the length difference of lower limbs was (3.41±0.64) cm.ResultsThe operation time was 130-245 minutes (mean, 186 minutes) and the intraoperative blood loss was 600-2 400 mL (mean, 840 mL). The postoperative drainage volume was 250-1 450 mL (mean, 556 mL). Superficial infection of the incision occurred in 1 case, and the incisions healed by first intention in the other patients. All patients were followed up 6-87 months, with an average of 48.6 months. At last follow-up, the Harris score was 85.85±9.31, which was significantly different from the preoperative score (t=18.563, P=0.000). Imaging examination revealed that the allogeneic bone gradually fused with the host bone, and no obvious bone resorption was observed. At last follow-up, the height of the hip rotation center was (1.01±0.21) cm, which was significantly different from the preoperative level (t=17.549, P=0.000); the length difference of lower limbs was (0.62±0.51) cm, which was significantly different from the preoperative level (t=14.211, P=0.000). The Harris score in the cemented group and non-cemented group increased significantly at last follow-up. The height of the hip rotation center decreased, and the hip rotation centers of both groups were within the Ranawat triangle zone. The length difference of the lower limbs also decreased, and the differences in all indexes were significant between pre- and post-operation (P<0.05). There was significant difference in the height of the hip rotation center between groups (t=2.095, P=0.042), but there was no significant difference in the Harris score and the length difference of lower limbs between groups (P>0.05).ConclusionFor severe acetabular defect (Paprosky type Ⅲ), the hip can be reconstructed with the impaction bone allograft and cemented or non-cemented components in revision hip arthroplsty. The short- and mid-term effectiveness are satisfactory.
