RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the differences of von Mises stress distribution in knee cartilage and meniscus in female with generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) and healthy female during drop jump landing. Methods The kinematic and ground reaction force (GRF) characteristics of knee joint in female with GJH and healthy female at the moment of peak vertical GRF (VGRF) during loading phase of drop jump landing were collected. The knee joint reaction force was calculated via inverse dynamics, and the combined force of knee joint along long axis of the femur was applied as the load. Based on three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of a female knee joint, numerical simulations were performed separately during drop jump landing of subjects in two groups, and von Mises stresses and stress distribution of knee cartilage and meniscus were calculated. Results At the moment of peak VGRF during drop jump landing, knee flexion and valgus angles in GJH group and control group showed a statistical significance (P<0. 05). Compared with control group, knee flexion angle decreased and valgus angle increased in GJH group. During drop jump landing, GJH group bore larger stress inside the knee joint, and stress distribution in weight-bearing areas of the medial and lateral tibiofemoral compartments was uneven, while the lateral femoral cartilage lateral condyle, the anterior and middle lateral of lateral tibial cartilage, the anterior angle and body lateral margin of lateral meniscus were stress concentration sites. Conclusions For females with GJH, the stability of knee joint decreases and force lines change in jumping events, due to the increased range of motion of knee joint and relaxation of joint capsule, which increases the risk of cartilage and meniscal injury in lateral knee joint. During jumping sports, females with GJH should especially prevent knee joint injury caused by altered force lines in frontal plane of knee joint.

Objective To detect the expression of caveolin-1 and PY14caveolin-1 in different esophageal tissues,and study the relationships between the expressions of caveolin-1 and PY14caveolin-1 with the occurrence and development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods The fresh surgical specimens in 60 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were collected and Western blotting were used to analyze and detect the expressions of caveolin-1 and PY14caveolin-1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,adjacent esophageal tissues and normal esophageal tissues.The expression of cav-1 and PY14caveolin-1 with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed.Results The expressions of caveolin-1 and PY14caveolin-1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were much higher than that in adjacent tissues and normal esophageal tissues,and the difference between them was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of caveolin-1 and PY14caveolin-1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, adjacent esophageal tissues and normal esophageal tissues decreases successively,it suggests the caveolin-1 and PY14caveolin-1 may be the key of the occurrence and development of esophageal cancer cells and they could be involved in the migration and invasion of esophageal cancer.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the curative effect of Teprenone combined with esomeprazole for reflux esophagitis. Methods 96 cases of reflux esophagitis comfirmed by endoscope were obtained and divied into observation group and control group randomly. Both groups were offered with esomeprazole and motilium. Teprenone was added to the observation group and sucralfate was added to the control group. Clinical effective rate,healing rate,adverse reactions and one-year follow up were observed closely after the course of 8 weeks. Results The relief time of clinical symptom and total effective rate in the observation group were(9.3 ±3.5)d and 95.8% respectively,which were significantly higher than those in the control group(P ＜0.05). Endoscopic effective rate was 93.8% in observation group and 81.2% in control group respectively and statistically significant difference was observed (P ＜0. 05). Recurrence rate after one year in the observation group was 8. 3% ,which was significantly lower than in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). One case of headache and nausea occurred in both groups but no severe adverse reaction was observed. Conclusion Teprenone combined with esomeprazole were more effective and more likely to approach the complete cure for reflux esophagitis.
