To research the geometrimorph of patello-femoral joint and the geometric correlation between its components by imageological methods and provide theoretical basis for total knee prosthesis design.Methods  The geometrimorph of patello-femoral joint of 48 volunters was observed and measured on MRI images.Results The height of male patella was (41.87±4.67)mm;the width was (41.08±4.30)mm,while the height of female patella was (35.34±5.15)mm,the width was (36.71±3.07)mm.The proportion of unstable Chinese patella was 37.50%.The width of male distal femur was (80.70±6.40)mm,while it was  (70.64±8.70)mm in female. Moreover,the  female femur ditch and intercondylar fossa were far smaller than male. When the ratios of width and angle for the contact area were both larger than 1,knee joints bent highly and freely.
Conclusion  The  fine fitness of patello-femoral joint,the difference of knee joint morphorlogy between men and women,and arthroscopy for knee are very important in
design of total knee prosthesis.

Abstract ( 1425 )  

To discuss the effects of sevoflurane  on perioperative hemodynamics and serum cardiac troponin I(cTnI)  in patients  undergoing abdominal surgery,and offer the reference for selecting anesthetic in clinic.
Methods Forty patients with ASA Ⅱ—Ⅲ,undergoing radical gastrectomy were randomly allocated into sevoflurane group (group S) and propofol group(group P),with each 20 patients.Systemic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),heart reat(HR) and saturation of oxygen(SPO2) were monitored as routine.The concerntration of cTnI was examined at pre-anesthesia(T1),post-induction(T2),beginning of operation(T3),end of operation(T4),the first day post-operation(T5) and the third day post-operation(T6) with radioimmunoassay.Results SBP,DBP and HR in group P at  post-induction were significantly lower than those in  group S(P<0.05).The concerntration of cTnI in group P was significantly higher than that in group S at post-induction and the first day post-operation(P<0.05).Conclusion Hemodynamics in sevoflurane group keeps steady during the induction period,and shows  lighter myocardial injury compared with propofol group,the result indicates that perioperative myocardial protection of sevoflurane is  better than that of propofol.
