Objective To investigate the effective, economic and viable long-term mechanism of Sichuan college students’ social practice. Methods A questionnaire was designed to investigate the students from North Sichuan Medical College and other 7 colleges in Sichuan province randomly. A secondary research of China students social practice status was combined and the results of Sichuan and other areas were compared. Results A total of 2 200 questionnaires were issued, of which 1 920 effective ones were taken back with the recovery rate of 87.27%. The most common forms of social practice were social investigation (47.5%), public welfare labor (42.3%), novitiate/internship (38.7%); the most interesting contents of social practice were social morality education (54.79%), credit morality education (53.07%), professional skill education (51.88%), and near 80% college students thought the contents had close relationships with their major. College students hoped that the contents could combine their job-hunting, characteristics of their major, local economy, and needs of social development. The social practice department they wanted to go most was public welfare or civil service departments (43.7%), corporations (27.8%), and government bodies (19.2%). The most difficult thing was to get connected with target department, shortage of fund, empty topics, hard-to-determine practice projects (44.1%), and lack of teachers’ guidance (43.6%). Degree of satisfaction from the students was moderate. Compared with other universities, social practice of Sichuan undergraduate students had broader coverage and was more closely related to students’ majors with more attention on the combination with moral education and employment. Conclusion Sichuan college students have higher expectations of social practice. However, the range and the time of actual participation are limited. The students are not very satisfied with status of social practice. The social practice of Sichuan college students should give prominence to the local features, be close to the students and serve the local place, strengthen the construction of practice bases, and establish effective systems of teacher training, funding, principle security mechanism and evaluation system.
ObjectiveTo compare tacrolumus (FK506) with cyclosporine A (CsA) in clinical application to organ transplantation.MethodsThe literature in recent years has been reviewed and compared. ResultsFK506 was a powerful immunosuppression with a mechanism of action similar to that of CsA, but significantly superiori to CsA in terms of prophylaxis and treatment of allograft acute rejection, delay of chronic rejection, and withdrawal of steroid in early period. The cardiovascular mortality and chronic graft nephropathy (CGN),such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia were less frequently seen in FK506treated patients and FK506 also had an acceptable safety profile, including a low incidence of hypertrichosis,gingival hyperplasia and infections.However, CsA had been showed a better result in prevention of posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM ) and more economic agent than FK506. Pharmacokinetic studies showed CsA in the form of Sandimmun Neoral showed less inter an intrapatient variability than FK506.Meanwhile, the combination of MMF and FK506 or CsA has been proved effectively with excellent graft and patients survival. Conclusion FK506 and CsA are safe and effective long term maintenance immunosuppressive agents in organ transplantation with wonderful prospect.
Objective To review the osteogenic mechanism and osteogenic effects of bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP-6) so as to provide the basis for further research of BMP-6. Methods The related articles about the osteogenic mechanism and the osteogenic effects of BMP-6 in experimental animals were extensively summarized. Results BMP-6 from bone matrix can transduct the osteogenic signal to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by means of Smad protein signal transduction pathway. And the BMSCs which received the signals will differentiate into osteoblasts and chondroblasts. Therefore, BMP-6 plays an important role in the development and maturation of bone and cartilage. In addition, BMP-6 has a close relation with bone diseases, such as fracture, osteoporosis, and bone tumor. Conclusion The deep research of BMP-6 is expected to provide a new therapeutic approach for treating bone diseases of nonunion, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis.
Objective To investigate the mechanisms of local application of granulocyte macrophage- colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on healing of colonic anastomoses impaired by intraperitoneal oxaliplatin in rats. Methods Sixty 10-week-old male Wistar rats were made the colonic anastomosis model and randomized into 3 groups, 20 rats in each. The rats received intraperitoneal injection of 5% dextrose in group A, and intraperitoneal injection of 5% dextrose and 10 mL oxaliplatin (25 mg/kg) in group B at 1 day; and 50 μg GM-CSF was injected into the perianastomotic area immediately after operation and 10 mL intraperitoneal oxaliplatin (25 mg/kg) was given at 1 day. The general situation of rats was observed after operation. Anastomotic healing was tested by measuring the bursting pressure in vivo at 2, 3, 5, 7 days. Anastomotic healing score was evaluated by histological staining. Immunohistochemical staining of the anastomotic site was used to determine the amount of collagen type I content. Results All animals survived to the experiment end. There was no significant difference in the bursting pressure among 3 groups at 2 and 3 days (P gt; 0.05); the bursting pressure of group B was significantly lower than that of groups A and C (P lt; 0.05). There was no significant difference in mononuclear cells infiltration, mucosal epithelialization, submucosa-muscle layer connection degree, and granulation tissue formation between groups A and C at different time points (P gt; 0.05); groups A and C were significantly better than group B in mucosal epithelialization and granulation tissue formation (P lt; 0.05). Groups A and C were significantly better than group B in mononuclear cells infiltration at 2 and 3 days, and in submucosa-muscle layer connection degree at 5 and 7 days (P lt; 0.05). There was no significant difference in collagen type I content among 3 groups at 2 and 3 days (P gt; 0.05); the content of collagen type I in groups A and C were significantly higher than that in group B (P lt; 0.05) at 5 and 7 days. Conclusion Local administration of GM-CSF may enhance colonic anastomotic healing by early stimulating infiltration of macrophages and increasing collagen deposition.

Methods The recent original articles about prosthetic aseptic loosening were extensively reviewed and analyzed. Results Prosthetic aseptic loosening was a very complex process involving many mechanical and biological aspects. The main mechanical factors included prosthetic materials, shapes and sizes, implant fixation methods (including surfacetreatments), cl inical installation, interface micromotion, stress shielding, implant wear, interface integrity, and peri prosthetic high hydraulic pressure, etc.; the main biological factors included the types and sizes of wear particles, cell-activated responses, cytokine release, enzyme activation and allergic reactions to wear particles, etc.. Many measures should be adopted to effectively prevent and treat it, including improving materials and designs of prostheses, fixation techniques, surgical techniques, and drug treatments. Conclusion Prosthetic aseptic loosening is still a troublesome compl ication after joint replacements in orthopaedics, and more attention should be paid for its effective prevention and treatment.
Objective To review the treatment methods of the extremity skin avulsion, and to point out the problems at present as well as to predict the trend of development in this field. Methods Domestic and abroad l iterature concerning the treatment methods of the extremity skin avulsion in recent years was extensively and thoroughly analyzed. Results The timely and accurate evaluation of viabil ity and blood circulation of avulsed skin was the key to treat extremity skin avulsion. At present, there were many methods to treat extremity skin avulsion and the vacuum seal ing drainage (VSD) technology played an important role in the treatment of skin avulsion. Artificial skin had been used to treat skin avulsion. Conclusion The conventional method to treat skin avulsion is rigorous debridement, defatting of the avulsed flap, planting back avulsed skin flap. The combined use of the VSD technology helps skin avulsion treatment. It may be a trend that artificial skin will be used in treating extremity avulsion.
【Abstract】 Objective To investigate both incidence and mechanism attributing to steroid-associated osteonecrosisof femoral head(ONFH) using an experimental protocol with a single low-dose l i popolysaccharide (LPS) injection andsubsequently three injections of high-dose methylprednisolone (MPS). Methods Twenty-five New Zealand white rabbits with body weight of (3.0 ± 0.3) kg were divided randomly into 2 groups. In treatment group, 19 rabbits received one intravenous injection of LPS (10 μg/kg); 24 hours later, three injections of 20 mg/kg of MPS were given intramuscularly at an interval of 24 hours. Additional 6 rabbits which received normal sal ine injection at the same time point were used as controls(control group). The blood samples were collected for hematological examinations before and after LPS injection, MRI was performed on bilateral hip six weeks after last MPS injection, meanwhile, bone marrow was aspirated from femoral head region to evaluate stem cell’s activity. Bilateral femoral heads were harvested to make histopathology examination. Results All animals survived throughout the experiment period except one death on the second day after LPS injection. In the histopathological examinationfor the femoral head, ONFH+ was observed in 16 rabbits (88.9%), and the lesions were mainly in the metaphysis. In ONFH+ rabbits, micro vessels fibrous thrombosis and extravascular marrow fat cell size increasing were found around necrotic bone; The femoral heads of control group had no changes. MRI accurate ratio was 93.8% (15/16). Compared to basel ine, a significant decrease in ratio of tissue plasminogen activator/plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 and activated partial thromboplatin time, and a significant increase in ratio of low-density l ipoprotein/high-density l ipoprotein were only found in ONFH+ rabbits (P lt; 0.05). Meanwhile there was a significant decrease in the number of CFU-F (8.50 ± 9.63) compared with the control (70.17 ± 7.78, P lt; 0.05). Conclusion A single low-dose LPS injection and subsequent three injections of high-dose MPS is effective on building steroid-associated ONFH model, coagulation and l ipometabol ism abnormal ity, activity degeneration of stem cell may be the key factors of ONFH.
Objective To investigate the effects of repeated shortischemia training on flap survival area, vascular endothelial growth factor and the microvascularsel density. Methods Seventy-two rabbits were divided into:the experimental group(n=64), the skin flaps were constructed in two sides of back, one side flap were given ischemia training for 15 minutes and 8 times one day at the pedicles from the 1st to 8th day after operation (group A), the other side flap was served as a control (group B), the corresponding site was only marked as a blank control group (group C).Then, 8 pedicles of group A and group Bwere isolated every day. The surviving area of all skin flaps were calculated on the5th day after isolating operation. The vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and microvessel density(MVD) of the 3 groups were checked with immunohistologochemical staining. Results After the operation, all animalswere survival with normal vitality.The survival flap area of group A were significant more than that of group B after 3 days(Plt;0.05).The expressions of VEGF and MVD of group A and group B were higher than group C. The expression of VEGF of group A was significantly higher than that of group B(Plt;0.01). The counting of MVD of group A was also significantly higher than that of group B(Plt;0.05). There was positive correlation between flap survival area and MVD in group A. The relation of time point was n and n 2 respectively,correlation coefficient was 0.850. As well as MVD and VEGF were positive correlation,correlation coefficient was 0.801. Conclusion Early repeated shortischemia training can increase flap survival area, the mechanism maybe involve the increased expression of VEGF, which can increased skin flap microvascular density.
