ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the efficacy of suprapatellar versus infrapatellar approach in tibial intramedullary nail fixation for tibial fracture. Methods Clinical trials that evaluated suprapatellar approach and infrapatellar approach for tibia intramedullary nailing fixation were searched in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials ( CENTRAL ) , Chinese Biology Medicine ( CBM) , Wanfang, Weipu and CNKI databases. Methodological qualities of the included studies were assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Sensitivity analyses were performed to determine whether overall results were reliable. Publication bias was detected using Begg's test and Egger's test. Lysholm score, reoperation rate, Hospital for Special Surgery ( HSS ) score, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay were selected to evaluate the clinical effect of suprapatellar approach and infrapatellar approach in tibial intramedullary nail fixation for tibial fracture. Results Two randomized controlled trials and six case-controlled studies involving 787 patients were included in the analysis. Sensitivity analyses indicated that the results were statistically significant. No significant publication bias was detected by Begg's test or Egger's test. Our meta-analysis indicated that suprapatellar approach had significantly higher Lysholm score ( MD=1. 04, 95％CI 0. 82 -1. 26, P<0. 05, I2 =10. 5％) and HSS score ( MD =0. 97, 95％CI 0. 65 -1. 30, P <0. 05, I2 =0 ) than infrapatellar approach ( P <0. 05 ) . Additionally, there were no statistical differences between the two procedures in reoperation rate, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay (P>0. 05). Conclusion Compared with infrapatellar approach, suprapatellar approach in intramedullary nail fixation for tibial fracture can better relieve the pain, keep stability and motion of the knee joint and promote function recovery of knee joint.
ABSTRACT
To discuss IC50 application in cytotoxicity tests of medical devices, we firstly investigated the vibrating condition and endpoint of MTT method specified in ISO 10993-5: 2009. Furthermore, we demonstrated the application of IC50 in the result evaluation of MTT method. The experimental results show that usage of IC50 in quantitative evaluation of MTT method is feasible.

Immunogenicity for medical devices of animal origin is the key and difficult point during immune safety evaluation for these devices. This paper firstly investigated the effect of collagen sponge of animal origin on mouse splenic lymphocyte transformation and proliferation, and then analyzed the influence factors on the MTT method and CFSE method. The results showed that collagen sponge extract cannot significantly induce transformation and proliferation of mouse splenic lymphocyte in vitro.

AIM: To prepare Ganmaoqing micro-pills (Rhizomaer Radix Baphicacanthis Cusiae. Folium Isatidis, etc). METHODS: Extruded-spheronizing granulator and fluidized coating-machine were applied for Ganmaoqing micro-pills' production. RESULTS: According to the method mentioned above, the content of Ganmaoqing micro-pills wasreached 96.27% paracetauol in labelled indicator. CONCLUSION: The method is feasible and convenient, the result is extract with stable quality.
ABSTRACT
A method for separation and determination of vitamin E from egg by reverse phase HPLC was introduced.The accuracy and precision of this method were much better than the ordinary method. Standrd deviation of retention time and peak area were 0.012 and 146.92, and the corresponding coefficient of variation was 0.22% and 0.44% respectively. The recovery rate was 100.6 ?3%. This method was suitable for measuring VE in egg, milk powder and cod-liver oil.
