  • Effectiveness evaluation of Prodisc-C prosthesis for more than 10 years follow-up after total cervical disc replacement

    ObjectiveTo evaluate long-term radiographic and clinical effectiveness of total cervical disc replacement (TDR) with Prodisc-C prosthesis at a minimum of 10 years follow-up.MethodsThe clinical data of 118 patients with cervical disc degeneration disease (CDDD) treated with TDR by using Prodisc-C prosthesis between December 2005 and April 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 66 males and 52 females, with the age of 25-62 years (mean, 46.8 years). There were 38 cases of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, 28 cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and 52 cases of mixed cervical spondylotic myelopathy. The operative segments were C3-7, including 90 cases of single segment, 20 cases of continuous double segments, and 8 cases of continuous three segments. A total of 154 Prodisc-C prostheses were used during the operation. The clinical effectiveness was evaluated by pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, neck disability index (NDI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, and Odom grade before and after operation. Imaging evaluation indicators included range of motion (ROM), sagittal lordosis angle, intervertebral disc height (IDH), and prosthesis displacement, subsidence, loosening, locking, and heterotopic ossification (HO), adjacent segment degeneration (ASD), and other complications. Patients were grouped according to whether HO or ASD occurred or not, the ROM of surgical segment was compared.ResultsAll patients were followed up 121-150 months (mean, 135.8 months). No revision operation was performed during the follow-up period. The VAS, NDI, JOA scores and Odom grades were significantly improved at 1 week after operation and last follow-up when compared with preoperative ones (P<0.05); VAS and NDI scores were further improved at last follow-up than those at 1 week after operation (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in JOA scores and improvement rates between at 1 week after operation and at last follow-up (P>0.05). The ROM of the whole cervical spine and the operative segment decreased at 1 week and 10 years after operation when compared with preoperative ones (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the other time points (P>0.05); there was no significant difference in the ROM between the upper adjacent segment (UAS) and the lower adjacent segment (LAS) at each time point after operation (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in sagittal lordosis angle of cervical spine before and after operation (P>0.05); the sagittal lordosis angle of operative segment increased significantly at 1 week, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after operation (P<0.05). The IDH of operative segment was significantly improved at each time point after operation (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in IDH between UAS and LAS at each time point after operation (P>0.05). No prosthesis displacement, subsidence, or loosening occurred at each time point after operation. There was no significant difference of the prosthetic displacement and subsidence distance between all time points after 6 months after operation (P>0.05). At last follow-up, the incidence of prosthetic locking/fusion was 10.4%, showing no significant difference when compared with 6 months (1.9%) (P<0.05). The incidence of upper ASD and lower ASD was 1.3% and 2.6% respectively at 1 week after operation. The incidence of upper ASD and lower ASD increased gradually with time prolonging, and there were significant differences between different time points (P<0.05). The ROM of operative segment in ASD group was lower than that in non-ASD group at each time point after operation, but there was no significant difference (P>0.05). HO appeared in 58.4% of the segments at 6 months after operation, and the incidence of HO increased significantly with time, which was significantly different from that at 6 months after operation (P<0.05). The ROM of operative segments in HO group was significantly lower than that in non-HO group at 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years after operation (P<0.05).ConclusionTDR has little effect on adjacent segments, although there are some imaging complications, it has no significant effect on the improvement of overall clinical effectiveness. Prodisc-C prosthesis can provide long-term, safe, and definite clinical effectiveness in the treatment of CDDD.

  • Indomethacin suppress the proliferation and invasion of human choroidal melanoma cells

      Objective To observe the influence of the indomethacin on the proliferative and invasive activity of OCM-1 human choroidal melanoma cells. Methods OCM-1 cells were cultured with different concentrations of indomethacin (25, 50, 100, 200, 400 mu;mol/L ), and their proliferation were assessed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT), invasive behaviors were examined by cell invasion assays, expression of survivin and VEGF were evaluated by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR), immunofluorescence staining, ELISA and western blot analysis. Result All concentrations of indomethacin in this study can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of OCM-1 cells in a time and dosage-dependant manner(MTT/24 h:F=19.642,P<0.01;MTT/48 h:F=136.597,P<0.01;MTT/72 h:F=582.543,P<0.01;invasion assays:F=54.225,P<0.01). Immunofluorescence staining indicated that survivin and VEGF mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of OCM-1 cells. Survivin mRNA in OCM-1 cells was inhibited by 100, 200, 400 mu;mol/L indomethacin(F=16.679,P<0.01). The concentrations of survivin were (787.3plusmn;47.37), (257.0plusmn;26.21), (123.3plusmn;8.02) pg/ml in control group and 100, 400 mu;mol/L indomethacin groups, respectively. Survivin expression was also significantly down-regulated in indomethacin-treated cells by Western blot analysis.Indomethacin had no effects on VEGF expression in OCM-1 cells.Conclusions Indomethacin can inhibit proliferation and invasion of OCM-1 cells in vitro,down-regulated expression of survivin may be the mechanism.

    Objective To observe the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and its receptors sFlt-1, kinase insert domain receptor (KDR) in lightinjured human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Methods Cultured human RPE cells (8th - 12th generations) were divided into normal control group and light damage group. The cells of two groups were exposed to the 18 W cold white light (2200±300) Lux for 12 hours to induce light damage responses, but the cells of normal control group were packed by tinfoil with doubledeck high pressure disinfection. The VEGF-A, sFlt-1 and KDR mRNA and protein expressions were detected by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot at 0, 6, 12, 24 hours after light damage. Results The VEGF-A mRNA and protein expressions in light damage group were significantly increased at 6 hours, and reached its peak at 12 hours after light damage which obviously higher than that in normal group (t=2.74, 2.93; P<0.05), and then went down gradually. The sFlt-1 mRNA and protein expressions in light damage group reached its peak at 12 hours after light damage which obviously higher than that in normal group (t=4.32, P<0.01), but obviously lower than that in normal group at 24 hours after light damage (t=2.41, P<0.05). The KDR mRNA and protein expressions in light damage group were obviously higher than that in normal group at 24 hours after light damage (t=2.89, P<0.05),but there was no changes at 6, 12 hours after light damage (t=1.84, P>0.05). Conclusions At 6, 12 hours after light damage, the expressions of VEGF-A and sFlt-1 increases significantly and KDR expression is stable in lightinjured RPE cells. At 24 hours after light damage, the expression of VEGF-A and sFlt-1 decreases, but KDR expression increases in light-injured RPE cells.

  • Effects of drugs on the functions of mitochondria in retinal nerve cells

    Objective To explore the effects of drugs on functions of mitochondria in retinal nerve cells, and to lay a foundation of the investigation of drug protection for retinal nerve cells. Methods Cultivation of the retinal nerve cells of 8 eyes of neonatal calves was performed. The changes of fluorescent density of the mitochondria of cultured cells labeled by dye rhodamine 123 (Rh123) before and after the activation of the medicines, including ferulic acid (FA), arginine, glycine,taurine, vitamine E and brain derived neurotrophic factor( BDNF) respectively, were detected by laser-scanning confocal microscopy. Results FA with the concentration of 500 μg/ml led the diphasic variation of the fluorescent intensity of mitochondria. After scanning for 60.772 seconds when treated with FA firstly, the fluorescent intensity decreased rapidly (from 45.425±4.153 to 22.135±5.293); while after 112.774 seconds when treated secondly, the in tensity increased obviously (from 19.655±4.383 to 28.247±4.764), and after 168.773 seconds when treated thirdly the intensity still increased. After scanning for 56.457 seconds when treated with vitamin E (12.5 mg/ml), the fluorescent in tensity increased obviously (from 88.255±5.039 to 111.273±4.529), which suggested that vitamin E with the concentration of 12.5 mg/ml strengthen the fluorescent intensity. After scanning for 58.147 and 134.148 seconds when treated with BDNF(50 ng/ml) respectively, the fluorescent intensity increased obviously (from 69.115±5.038 to 77.225±5.131) which suggested that BDNF with the concent ration of 50 ng/ml led the increase of the fluorescent intensity. Glycine (2.5 mg/ml) and arginine(30 mg/ml) didn’t affect the fluorescent intensity of mitochondria, and taurine (6.25 mg/ml) caused the appreciable decrease of the fluorescent intensity . Conclusion FA, BDNF and vitamin E may promote the metabolism of retinal nerve cells via the path of mitochondria, while amino acids may adjust the activation of retinal nerve cells through other ways.

  • SHORT-TERM EFFECTIVENESS OF Hyprocure SUBTALAR STABILIZATION IN TREATMENT OF ADOLESCENT FLEXIBLE FLATFOOT

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the short-term effectiveness of Hyprocure subtalar stabilization for adolescent flexible flatfoot. MethodsBetween December 2013 and September 2015, 14 cases (26 feet) of adolescent flexible flatfoot were treated with Hyprocure subtalar stabilization. There were 10 males (18 feet) and 4 females (8 feet) with the average age of 14.5 years (range, 12-18 years). There were 12 cases (24 feet) of congenital flatfoot and 2 cases (2 feet) of flatfoot caused by neurological diseases. The preoperative pain visual analogue scale (VAS) was 4.2±0.4; the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle and foot function score was 72.2±12.3. Simple Hyprocure subtalar stabilization was used in 8 feet, and a combination of minimally invasive percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening or gastrocnemius lysis, preposing of posterior tibial tendon and spring ligament tightening surgery, or open dorsal medial cuneiform osteotomy and bone graft in 18 feet. The VAS score and AOFAS ankle and foot function score were used to evaluate the effectiveness. The talus-the first metatarsal angle (T1MT), the talus-the second metatarsal angle (T2MT), and talonavicular coverage angle (TCA) were measured on the anteroposterior X-ray film; the Meary's angle, calcaneal inclination angle (CI), and the talar declination (TD) were measured on the lateral X-ray film. ResultsAll incisions healed well. Two cases (2 feet) had tarsal sinus pain, which was cured after symptomatic treatment. All patients were followed up 5-24 months (mean, 14.5 months). Pain was obviously relieved. At last follow-up, VAS score was significantly decreased to 1.4±0.3 (t=27.676, P=0.000). AOFAS ankle and foot function score was significantly increased to 94.5±10.8 (t=7.765, P=0.000). The postoperative X-ray film showed that medial arch was elevated after the Hyprocure subtalar stabilization was placed in tarsal sinus. At last follow-up, the T1MT, T2MT, TCA, Meary's angle, and TD were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones (P < 0.05); CI has no significant improvement (t=0.109, P=0.598). ConclusionHyprocure subtalar stabilization is simple, effective for adolescent flexible flatfoot, the short-term effectiveness is good. But the indications should be strictly controlled, treatment should be individualized, corresponding auxiliary soft tissue and bone surgery is needed. The long-term effectiveness needs further follow-up.
