  • EFFECTIVENESS OF HAMSTRING TENDON AND FLEXOR HALLUCIS LONGUS TENDON AUTOGRAFT FOR Achilles TENDON DEFECTS RECONSTRUCTION

    Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of hamstring tendon and flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon autograft for Achilles tendon defects reconstruction. Methods Between February 2009 and October 2011, 9 patients (9 feet) with Achilles tendon defect were treated with hamstring tendon and FHL tendon autograft. Of 9 cases, 6 were male and 3 were female with an average age of 43 years (range, 21-65 years), including 5 cases of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures caused by sport injury and 4 cases of Achilles tendon defects caused by resection of tendon lesion (2 cases of hyaline degeneration with necrosis, 1 case of giant cell tumor, and 1 case of chronic inflammation with hyaline degeneration). The disease duration ranged from 31 to 387 days (mean, 137.6 days). The defect length was 5 to 18 cm (mean, 8.6 cm). Functional exercise of the ankle began at 6 weeks after plaster fixation. Results Dehiscence and effusion occurred in 2 cases and plantar pain caused by injury of tibial nerve in 1 case; primary healing of wound was obtained in the other patients without complication. Nine patients were followed up 19.7 months on average (range, 13-25 months); no re-rupture was observed. There was no significant difference in the dorsal extension between at preoperation and at 1 year and last follow-up after operation (P gt; 0.05); the ankle plantar flexion at 1 year and last follow-up after operation was significantly larger than that at preoperation (P lt; 0.05). The ankle plantar flexion and dorsal extension at 1 year and last follow-up after operation were significantly larger than those at 3 months after operation (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference was found between at 1 year and last follow-up (P gt; 0.05). American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and short-form 36 health survey scale (SF-36) scores were significantly increased at postoperation when compared with scores at preoperation (P lt; 0.05), and the scores at last follow-up were significantly higher than those at 3 months after operation (P lt; 0.05). The Achilles tendon total rupture score (ATRS) at last follow-up was significantly higher than that at 3 months after operation (t= — 7.982, P=0.000). Conclusion Combined hamstring tendon and FHL tendon autograft is one of the effect methods to reconstruction Achilles tendon defects.

  • Effect of knocking down Piezo1 mechanically sensitive protein on migration of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells

    ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of Piezo1 mechanically sensitive protein in migration process of mouse MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells.MethodsThe 5th-10th generation mouse MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were divided into Piezo1-small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection group (group A), negative control group (group B), and blank control group (group C). Piezo1-siRNA or negative control siRNA was transfected into mouse MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts by siRNA transfection reagent, respectively; group C was only added with siRNA transfection reagent; and the cell morphology was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope and fluorescence microscope, and the transfection efficiency was calculated. The expression of Piezo1 protein was detected by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. Transwell cell migration assay and cell scratch assay were used to detect the migration of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts after Piezo1-siRNA transfection.ResultsAfter 48 hours of transfection, group A showed a slight increase in cell volume and mutant growth, but cell colonies decreased, suspension cells increased and cell fragments increased when compared with untransfected cells. Under fluorescence microscope, green fluorescence was observed in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts of group B, and the transfection efficiency was 68.56%±4.12%. Immunofluorescence staining and Western blot results showed that the expression level of Piezo1 protein in group A was significantly lower than that in groups B and C (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between group B and group C (P>0.05). Transwell cell migration assay and cell scratch assay showed that the number of cells per hole and the scratch healing rate of cells cultured for 1-4 days in group A were significantly lower than those in groups B and C (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between group B and group C (P>0.05).ConclusionPiezo1 knocked down by siRNA can inhibit the migration ability of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells.

  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE COMBINING BONE MARROW MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS TRANSPLANTATION IN TREATMENT OF SPINAL CORD INJURY IN RATS

    Objective Adenosine tri phosphate (ATP) can promote the repair of spinal cord injury (SCI). To investigate the effect of ATP combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation on SCI, and to evaluate the synergistic action of ATP and BMSCs in the repair of SCI and the feasibil ity of the combined transplantation in the treatment of SCI. Methods BMSCs were isolated from the marrow of the tibia and the femur of a male SD rat (weighing 120 g), the 3rd generation BMSCs were labeled with BrdU, then BMSCs suspension of 5.0 × 107 cell/mL were prepared. Fortyeightadult female SD rats (weighing 240-260 g) were made SCI models at T12 levels according to the improved Allen’s method, and were randomly divided into 4 groups (groups A, B, C, and D, n=12). In group A, ATP (40 mg/kg) and BMSCs (6 μL) were injected to the central point and the other 2 points which were 1 mm from the each side of head and tail of the injured spinal cord; after blending the BMSCs suspension, the cells amount was about 3.0 × 105. In groups B, C, and D, the BMSCs suspension (6 μL), ATP (40 mg/kg), and PBS (40 mg/kg) were injected to the points by the same method as group A, respectively. The general conditions of the rats were observed after operation. The nerve function of low extremities was evaluated using the improved Tarlov scale and the Rivil in incl ined plane test at 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after operation. At 28 days after operation, the reparative effect of SCI was observed using histological and immunohistochemical staining. Results One rat of group A, 2 of group B, 2 of group C, and 3 of group D died of infection and anorexic, the others survived to the end of the experiment. Paralysis symptom in low extremities occurred in all rats after operation and was improved at 2-3 weeks postoperatively, the improvement of group A was the best, groups B and C were better, group D was the worst. There was no significant difference in the Tarlov scale and the Rivil in incl ined plane test among 4 groups at 1 and 3 days after operation and between groups B and C at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after operation (P gt; 0.05), but there were significant differences among other groups at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after operation (P lt; 0.05). At 28 days after operation, HE staining demonstrated that the injured region in group A was finely restored, without obvious scar tissue and cavity, and there existed clear stem cell differentiation characters; there was small amount of scar tissue and cavity in the injury site of groups B and C; and there was great deal of scar tissue in the injury site of group D, in which there were numerous inflammatory cells and fibroblasts infiltration and bigger cavity. Immunohistochemical staining showed that BrdU-positive BMSCs were seen in groups A and B, and positive cells of group A was significantly more than that of group B (P lt; 0.05). The expressions of neruofilament protein 200 and gl ial fibrillary acidic protein in group A were significantly higher than those in groups B, C, and D, and groups B and C were significantly higher than group D (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion ATP has protective effects on injured spinal cord, a combination of ATP and BMSCs can synergistically promote the reparation of SCI.

  • Research progress on femoral attachment positioning during medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction

    Objective To review research progress on femoral attachment positioning during medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, so as to provide a reference for accurate positioning in clinic. Methods The literature at home and abroad on femoral attachment positioning during MPFL reconstruction was extensively reviewed and summarized. Results MPFL is the main ligament that restricts patellar outward migration, so MPFL reconstruction is the main treatment for patellar dislocation, but the accuracy of intraoperative femoral attachment positioning will significantly affect the effectiveness. At present, there are three main methods for femoral attachment positioning in MPFL reconstruction, including imaging positioning, bony landmark positioning, and new technology. Among them, the main imaging positioning method is the “Schöttle point” method, but it has high requirements for fluoroscopic positioning, and can only be accurately positioned under standard lateral fluoroscopy of the femur. The bony landmark positioning method mainly locates the femoral attachment by touching or dissecting the bony landmarks such as adductor tubercles and medial epicondyle of femur, but its disadvantages are that the positioning is not accurate enough, the intraoperative visual field exposure requirements are high, and a large incision is required. In order to avoid the problem that the simple bony landmark positioning method, in recent years, the combination of bony landmarks combined with arthroscopy, three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, and robot-assisted positioning methods have begun to be used in clinical practice. New technology localization methods have shown good results by preparing guides before operation, planning positioning paths in advance, or directly using robots to assist positioning during operation. Conclusion The accurate positioning of the femoral attachment in MPFL reconstruction is crucial, and the method of accurate and rapid intraoperative determination needs to be further improved and optimized. In the future, it is expected that the combination of computer image recognition correction technology and intraoperative position assistance will solve this problem.
