Objective: To investigate the effect of FTY720(Fingolimod) on osteolysis induced by ultra- high- molecular- weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) particles in mouse air pouch model. Methods: The air pouches model was established, mice were divided into four groups: ultra - high - molecular - weight polyethylene(UttMWPE) particles and FFY720 group (UHMWPE was introduced into the air pouches and mice were injected intraperitoneally with FTFY720); UHMWPE group( UHMWPE was introduced into the air pouches and mice were injected intraperituneally with DMSO) ; FTY720 goup (normal saline was introduced into the air pouches and mice were injected intraperitoneally with FFY720) ;blank group( normal saline was intredueed into the air pouches and mice were injected intraporitoneally with DMSO). Four weeks later, all the mice are sacrificed, pouch walls and implanted calvaria were collected. and imqanmmtory reaction and the number of exuded inflammatory cells of the pouch walls were detected through HE staining, some of inflanmuitory cytokines, IL - 6 and TNF - a, in tissue homogenate were detected with ELISA; the resorption of the bone slices were detected with scanning electron microscopy; the osteeclast associated gene TRAP in pouch tissues were detected with RT- PCR.

(2)ELISA results showed that the quantity of inflannYuatory cytokines IL- 6 and TNF-α tissue hongenate in the UHMWPE and bq'Y720 group[ (130.13± 3.22) , ( 129.22 ± 5.02) ]had no difference compared with the UHMWPE group[ ( 149.22 ± 6.09 }, ( 140.52 ± 2.68 } ] (P 〉 0.05) ,there was no difference between the FYY720 group[ (68.24 ± 2.83), (82.88 ± 5.34) 3and the blank groul)[ (69.51 ± 2.31 ), (74.15 ± 4.64) { P 〉 0. 05) ;but the cytokine( IL- 6 and TNF- α) concentrations in the UHMWPE groups were higher than the groups that without treatment UHMWPE (P 〈 0.05). (1)Scanning electron microscopy showed that the area of resorption of the bone slices in the UHMWPE and FRY720 group[ ( 10.21 ~ 1.78) % was lower than the UHMWPE group[ {17. 79 ± 2.56) %33,the FTY720 group[ (1.82 ± 1.37)% was lower thau the blank groups[ (6.27 ± 2.11 }% 3;and the area of resorption of the bone slices in the UHMWPE groups were higher than the groups that without treatment UHMWPE (P 〈 0. 05 ). ((~)RT- PCR results showed that osteeclasts - associated TRAP mRNA in the UHMWPE and FI'Y720 group ( 0.53 -± 0.04 ) was lower than the UHMWPE group (0.74 ±0. 05 ), the FTY720 group (0.22 ± 0.03 ) was lower than the blank group (0.38 ± 0.04) ;and osteeclasts- associated TRAP mRNA in the UHMWPE groups were higher than the groups that without treatment UHMWPE( P 〈 0.05 ). Couclusion: FTY720 could inhibit the bone destruction that caused by the UHMWPE in mousc air pouch mode.
Objective: To study the clinical effect of large-diameter femoral head-cemented hip arthroplasty in the surgical treatment of 12 patients with Parkinsonism involving the femoral neck fracture.Methods: From January 2007 to October 2010,we retrospectively analyzed 12 cases,including 3 males and 9 females with an average age of 76.17 years.All patients were treated with artificial prosthesis replacement,including 2 cases received total hip arthroplasty and 10 underwent bipolar artificial femoral head replacement.The patients were followed up since 3 months and evaluated clinically and radiographically respectively for the safety of replacement,hip function by Harris score.Result: All patients were safe through the perioperative.One case had hip dislocation in 3 weeks after replacement.There were no infections or death during the perioperative period.The radiolucent line happened in 2,but there was no osteolysis,prosthesis,loosening and femoral stem subsidence.According to the Harris scoring system,the patients were rated as 90~100 in 3,80~89 in 5,70~79 in 3 and 70 in 1.Conclusion: Large-diameter femoral head-cemented hip arthroplasty in patients with femoral neck fracture in elderly patients with Parkinsonism may decrease complications and dislocation rate to improve joint functional recovery and quality of life.
Objective To observe whether RAW264.7 cells,a mouse monocytes cell line,can be induced to differentiate to mature osteoclasts with RANKL.Methods RAW264.7 cells were cultured and treated with RANKL for 7 to 9 days.Cell morphological changes were observed using light microscope,transmissional electron microscope(TEM),and scanning electron microscope(SEM).Multinucleated cells were stained with tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP) and TRAP-positive cells were observed.Expressions of osteoclast phenotype and function genes were detected using Semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Osteoclastic resorption pits that formed on the bone slices were observed with SEM.Results Light microscopy and TEM showed that the size of the cells enlarged,and the cell shape was oval or irregular,and each cell contained 5 to 10 nucleus.SEM demonstrated that there were large amount of pseudopodia-like protrusions on the surface of the cells.Furthermore,RANKL induced RAW264.7 cells to differentiate to TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts with more than 5 nucleus.The differentiated cells had bone resorption ability.Osteoclast phenotypic and function genes Cathepsin-K,TRAP,and RANK were up-regulated.Conclusion RAW264.7 cells could be used as a perfect model of osteoclast precursors.RANKL 50ng/mL treatment alone for over 7 days could induce the precursor cells to differentiate to mature osteoclasts in vitro.
Objective To observe whether osteoprotegerin(OPG) is effective in reducing bone destruction and treating aseptic loosening in a mouse air pouch model.Methods Air was injected into the mouse back to form an air pouch,and the skull from another homologous mouse was implanted into the air pouch to obtain an air pouch model.Mice were divided into a blank group,a particle group,and an OPG group.Normal saline was injected into the air pouches of mice in the blank group.Polyethylene particles and physiological saline were injected into the air pouches of mice in the particle group.Polyethylene particles and OPG were injected into the air pouches of mice in the OPG group.Three weeks later,pouch walls and implanted skull tissues were collected,and the inflammatory reaction and the quantity of exuded inflammatory cells were detected through HE staining.The concentrations of inflammatory cytokines IL-1 and TNF-α in tissue homogenate were measured with ELISA.The differentiation and maturation of osteoclast were observed through tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase staining.The resorption of bone slices was detected with scanning electron microscopy.Results The quantities of exuded inflammatory cells in the particle group[(3 812±628)/eyeshot] and the OPG group[(3 665±297)/eyeshot] were significantly higher than that in the blank group[(1 820±598)/eyeshot,P<0.05].The IL-1 and TNF-α concentrations in the particle group[(210.57±4.26),(188.36±7.33)pg/ml] and the OPG group [(198.59±6.90),(179.28±2.11)pg/ml] were significantly higher than those in the blank group [(138.34±2.32),(156.14±4.17)pg/ml,P<0.05].The percentage of tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase staining positive area to visual field area in the particle group(4.34±1.53)% was significantly higher than that in the blank group [(0.89±0.12)%,P<0.05] and that in the OPG group [(0.96±0.55)%,P<0.05].The percentage of bone slice resorption area to visual field area in the particle group(14.58±2.68)% was significantly higher than that in the blank group[(3.09±0.62)%,P<0.05]and that in the OPG group [(3.25±0.78)%,P<0.05].Conclusion Mouse air pouch model is established.OPG has no significant inhibitory effect on the inflammatory reaction induced by polyethylene wear particles,but can inhibit the differentiation and maturation of osteoclast and reduce the bone resorption induced by polyethylene wear particles.
Artificial joint replacement has been one of the revolutionary leaps in orthopaedics in the 20th century. An ideal artificial joint replacement can relieve pain of patients and reconstruct the move-ment funtion,which are the foundamental goals of the the artificial joint replacement. But there is a severe problem which is said to be the prosthesis lossening in the late-stage of operation. According to relative statistics,during 15-20 years after the replacement,the prosthesis lossening would happen to about 10-15% artificial joints,and thus leads to a failure of the artificial joint funtion. Wear particles produced after long-term wear of the artificial joint induce the large-scale generation of around osteo-clasts,which causes the bone disolusion and osteoporosis. That is one of the main reasons of prosthesisloosening happening in the late-stage of the replacement. However,the current review highlights the importance of the kinase activation in RANK/RANKL signaling pathway on the differentiation and activation of the osteoclastogenesis.
