ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:There is lack of effective diagnostic methods for early knee osteoarthritis. Proteomics refers to the large-scale experimental analysis of proteomes from the overal level of intracel ular protein compositioon, expression and modification, based on which, we can understand protein-protein interaction and relationship, thereby revealing protein functions and cel activity patterns. OBJECTIVE:To apply the isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) to identify proteins differential y in serums of osteoarthritis Kel gren-Lawrence classification at each stage, and to find out potential molecular markers at each stage of osteoarthritis. METHODS:Sixty patients with knee osteoarthritis were enrol ed, and according to Kel gren-Lawrence (K-L) grading, they were subdivided into K-L 0, II and IV groups. There were 10 males and 10 females randomly selected in each group. Proteins differential y regulated in serums were identified by the stable isotopes 116, 117, 118 of the iTRAQ labeled, reversed-phase column separation, mass spectrometry and Swissport database search, after the serums were subjected to high abundance proteins depletion. Final y, we analyzed the proteins identified by using bioinformatics software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Total y 169 proteins were identified through iTRAQ peptides experiments of different sample tags, Q-star mass spectrum identification and MASCOT library search. 153 proteins were identified as K-L 0 to K-L IV, 153 proteins were identified as K-L 0 to K-L II, and 145 proteins were identified as K-L II to K-L IV. iTRAQ technology may help to identify novel serum markers for early diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis, indicating iTRAQ technology for proteomics serum biomarkers of osteoarthritis study has good application prospect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the individualized cavity Single branch stent grafting through rebuilding the aortic arch surgery in 26 cases of the application of the Stanford type A aortic dissection. Methods From 2010 January to 2014 October, 26 patients received Stanford type A aortic dissection surgery, 26 patients received individualized cavity single branch stent grafting to rebuild the aortic arch surgery , together with improved myocardial protection fluid. Results In the present study, 26 cases with aortic dissection that were treated with single branch stent grafting for the reconstruction of aortic arch under DHCA and selective cerebral perfusion. Twenty-six patients received individualized cavity single branch stent grafting reconstruction of aortic arch surgery alone, and were stopped by using deep cryogenic loop (DHCA) plus selective cerebral perfusion surgical treatment. One patient suffered from permanent nerve dysfunction iand give up treatment. Conclusion The sexua branch stent grafting in reconstruction of aortic arch operation could simplify the operation procedures , shorten the operation time, and reduce the amount of blood transfusion and postoperative drainage.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:The research at home and abroad for appropriate immature myocardial cardioplegia has no breakthrough, and it may be a better mean to improve the protection effect of existing cardioplegia on immature myocardial by adding ingredients. Adenosine can reduce ischemia and neutrophil-mediated reperfusion injury, and salvia miltiorrhiza can reduce the content of ischemic myocardial lipid peroxide and increase the scavenging of myocardial cells to oxygen radical. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protection effect of improved myocardial protection fluid containing adenosine and salvia miltiorrhiza on the heart, liver and kidney. METHODS:Sixty cases of infant open heart operation of the first time were randomly divided into three groups, 20 cases in each group. The adenosine group received the improved myocardial protection fluid added with adenosine, the combination group received the improved myocardial protection fluid added with adenosine and miltiorrhiza salvia, and the control group received the improved myocardial protection fluid in the same volume. The blood samples were taken at the time before anesthesia induction, 30 minutes after cardio pulmonary bypass beginning, 1 hour after cardio pulmonary bypass end and 24 hours after cardio pulmonary bypass end. The serum levels of the creatine kinase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and interleukin 10 were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The serum levels of the alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and creatine kinase in three groups were increased, but the control group was increased significantly (P<0.01), and there were significant differences between adenosine group and combination group (P<0.05);the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 were significantly increased after operation (P<0.05). The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in the control group were significantly higher than those in the adenosine group and combination group before induction and at the same time point (P<0.01);at 3 minutes and 24 hours after cardio pulmonary bypass, the level of interleukin-10 was increased in three groups, but the level of interleukin-10 in the adenosine group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). The results indicate that improved myocardial protection fluid has great protection effect on immature myocardial, and can significantly reduce the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8, promote the secretion of interleukin-10 that can inhibit inflammatory cytokine and can significantly reduce the inflammatory response caused by cardiopulmonary bypass. So the improved myocardial protection fluid has protection effect on important organs, such as heart, lung, liver and kidney.
ABSTRACT
[Objective]To examine the mechanism and clinical outcome of the traction reduction method in treating the adult shoulder dislocation.[Method]From January 1997 to August 2007,68 patients diagnosed with shoulder-dislocation received reduction with this method.A retrospective and observational study of the outcomes was assessed in a number of patients.There were altogether 68 patients,51 male and 17 female,with an average age of 49(ranging from 16-82 years old).Forty of the cases occurred in the right shoulder and 28 others in the left,all caused by trauma:15 in traffic accidents,32 by injuries from falls,and 21 by sports injuries.Forty of the dislocations lied under the processus coracoideus,17 under the glenoid,6 under the collar bone and 5 post dislocation.Seventeen of the patients had recurrent dislocation,13 with nodules avulsion fracture of the humerus,2 with brachial plexus injury,3 with surgical neck of humerus fractures.The shortest time of restoration after injury was 30 minutes,and the longest 10 days,with an average of 2.1 days.[Result]Patients that had received the reduction method for 30 seconds to 5 minutes were all recovered with one treatment,the result being confirmed by X-rays.Sixty-four of the patients were followed up for 6-24 months and the clinical results were:61 cured and 3 turned to the better.[Conclusion]This method is easy and flexible in the reduction of adult shoulder dislocation,with fewer complications than other traditional methods.It accords with the shoulder anatomy and principles of bio-mechanics,and it is suitable to popularizing.
