RESUMO
Objective To investigate the expression level of Ezrin and its clinical significance in nontraumatic os-teonecrosis of femoral head. Methods Expression level of Ezrin in 38 patients with nontraumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head ( experimental group) and 16 patients with femoral neck fractures ( control group) were detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR analysis. Results The expression level of Ezrin was significantly lower in ex-perimental group than that in control group (P<0. 05). It was correlated with the Ficat Stage, and had no rela-tionship with gender, age, BMI, profession and etiological factor. Conclusion Ezrin may involve in the develop-ment of nontraumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head, and play an important role in regulation.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Systemic lupus erythematosus is a kind of heterogeneous disease, and the difference of clinical features may also be the risk factors of osteonecrosis besides of treatment with glucocorticoids according to the literature. However, it remains controversial on the risk factors of osteonecrosis in systemic lupus erythematosus patients. OBJECTIVE:To systematical y review the major risk factors of osteonecrosis in the Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. METHODS:The CNKI database, CBMdisc database and Wanfang database were retrieved for the published case-control study literatures on the risk factors of osteonecrosis in the Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. The literatures met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included, and a Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.0 and Stata software. Then, the pooled odd ratio and 95%confidence interval of each risk factor were calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Ten case-control study literatures were included involving 332 cases in the case group and 986 cases in the control group. The pooled odd ratio and 95%confidence interval of each risk factor of osteonecrosis in the Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus were as fol ows:Raynaud’s phenomenon 3.28(1.69-6.38), dental ulcer 2.95(2.13-4.09), renal involvement 1.21(0.83-1.74), vasculitis 5.64(2.84-11.21), hyperlipidemia 5.11(3.10-8.42), anti-phospholipid antibody 2.32(1.49-3.61) and joints involvement 2.02(1.33-3.07). It has been clear that the glucocorticoids is an independent risk factor of osteonecrosis in the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. However, it is not the one and only risk factor. The fol owing risk factors of vasculitis, hyperlipidemia, Raynaud’s phenomenon, dental ulcer, positive anti-phospholipid antibody and joints involvement are the risk factors of osteonecrosis in the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
RESUMO
The present investigation was performed in fifteen adult rats using four fluorescent tracers, including 4'-6-diamidino-2-phenylindol. 2 HC1 (DAPI), nuclear yellow (NY), propidium iodide (PI), and fast blue (FB), which were divided into four sets: PI-DAPI, PI-NY, DAPI-NY, and FB-NY. In each set two fluorescent tracers were used separately to label gastric corpus and pylorus antrum. In the medulla oblongata, the labelled cells in the dorsal motor nucleus of vagus (DmnX) were observed in every animal, but those in the nucleus ambiguus (nA) were only seen. in 11 cases and in the nucleus tractus solitarius (nTs) in 5 cases. In addition, labelled cells were also found in laminae V of the posterior grey columns of the thoracic (T6-9) spinal cords, spinal ganglia and sympathetic trunks. The results of counting and analysing the labelled cells of DmnX of both sides of 75 sections in four cases are as follows: 1233 cells on the left, including 1143 labelled cells of gastric corpus (92.7%), 63 labelled cells of pylorus antrum (5.1%), 27 double labelled cells (2.2%); 1007 cells on the right, including 930 labelled cells of gastric corpus (92.3%), 41 labelled cells of pylorus antrum (4.1%), and 36 double labelled cells (3.7%). The results indicate that PI is not fitted for 'long distance labelling in peripheral nervous system; the density of vagus innervation of gastric corpus is larger than that of pylorus antrum; a part of the nerve endings of vagus postganglionic neurons are distributed both in gastric corpus and in pylorus antrum; a part of postganglionic neurons of sympathetic fibres are located at the sympathetic trunk.
