Objective To explore the efficacy of internal fixation in the treatment of intra-articular calcaneum fractures via the sinus tarsi approach . Methods A retrospective study was made on 55 feet with intra-articular calcaneum fractures in 51 patients treated with open reduction and intemal fixation via sinus tarsi approach from January 2010 to June 2015.According to the Sanders classification, there were 15 feet of type Ⅱfractures and 40 feet of type Ⅲfractures. Results All the patients were followed up for a mean period of 15.7 months (range, 6-33 months).The fractures were completely healed .According to the Maryland Foot Scores , the operative effect was excellent in 43 feet, good in 7 feet, fair in 4 feet, and poor in 1 foot.The excellent and good rate was 90.9%(50/55).The postoperative width of the calcaneum , B?hler angle, and Gissane angle were significantly improved than before operation (P=0.000). Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation via sinus tarsi approach is a simple and effective method for minimally invasive treatment of Sanders type Ⅱand Ⅲintra-articular calcaneum fractures .

Objective To evaluate the value of detecting abnormal lymphocyte morphology in peripheral blood and Epstein Barr Virus(EBV)DNA quantity through real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR)in the initial diagnosis for infants patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM).Methods From Jan.2013 to Dec.2014 212 infants patients with IM were analysed ret-rospectively,which were all in-patients in the hospital.The abnormal lymphocyte morphology in peripheral blood and Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)DNA quantity were both detected in the initial fever period and a week later.The latter was detected by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR),combined with all the symptoms were all analysed comprehensively.The percentage of abnormal lymphocyte more than 10% was positive,and the EBV-DNA quantity more than 1.0×103 copy per ml was posi-tive,too.Results Of all the infants patients,in the initial fever period,82 patients had more than 10% positive abnormal lymphocyte and 100 patients had positive EBV-DNA quantity.But a week later,156 patients had more than 10% positive ab-normal lymphocyte,the maximum abnormal lymphocyte was 56%.And 180 patients had positive EBV-DNA quantity.When both abnormal lymphocyte morphology in peripheral blood and Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)DNA quantity were detected,in the initial fever period,125 patients were positive,it rose significantly more than that of abnormal lymphocyte morphology in peripheral blood (χ2=17.45,P<0.01),and that of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)DNA quantity,too (χ2=5.92,P<0.05). But a week later,190 patients were positive,it rose significantly more than that of abnormal lymphocyte morphology in pe-ripheral blood (χ2=18.16,P<0.01).There was no significantly rising more than that of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)DNA quantity (χ2=2.12,P>0.05).Conclusion The detecting of peripheral blood cell morphology combined with EBV-DNA
quantity are very important in the initial diagnosis for infants patients with infectious mononucleosis.Including all the symp-toms,they could improve the diagnosis timely and accurately.

Objective:To study the fit of pure titanium single crown fabricated by electron beam melting(EBM).Methods:Pure titanium crowns were fabricated by EBM,selective laser melting(SLM),CAD/CAM(R +K and DMG)and conventional lost wax technique(LW)respectively(n =5).Marginal and internal gap was copied by light-body silicone and measured using a digital mi-croscope .The data of marginal gap(MG)and internal gap(IG)were statisticaly analysed by ANOVA and SPSS statistical package version 17.0.Results:The MG and IG(μm)of pure titanium crowns in EBM group were 38.42 ±6.72 and 105.54 ±33.18,in SLMgroup 38.63 ±6.82 and 114.63 ±52.18,in DMG CAD/CAMgroup 26.18 ±4.36 and 102.18 ±40.81,in R +K CAD/CAM group 26.98 ±4.44 and 102.24 ±25.30,in LW group were 42.61 ±5.73 and 102.98 ±45.67,respectively.The marginal fit of the EBMgroup was significantly smaller than 120 μm of the generally accepted clinical standards.In the 2 CAD/CAM groups the MG was smaller than that of other 3 groups(P <0.05).The IG of the 5 groups were not statisticaly different(P >0.05).Conclu-sion:The marginal fit of titanium single crown fabricated by EBMis similar to that by SLM,better than that of LW and inferior than that of CAD/CAM.The internal fit of the crowns made by the 5 systems is similar.

In recent years,a large number of researches show that the tumor related gene promoter hypermethylation is an important reason of esophageal adenocarcinoma and closely associated with the differentiation,invasion,metastasis,staging and prognosis of tumors.It might be used as a neww target for the clinical detection and therapy of esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Objective To observe expression of GFAP,research the reaction and significance of astrocytes in the surrounding areas after cerebral hemorrhage of human.Methods He and immunohistochemistry are used to observe changes of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)and SPSS11.5 was used to analyse the results.Results The expressions of GFAP started to increase in 2h(P

Objective:To compare the effects of levosimendan injection at single dose and multiple doses on the left ventricular function , biomarkers and neuroho-rmonal activity in the patients with acute exacerbation of advanced heart failure .Methods:Totally 39 patients with chronic heart failure at acute exacerbation were divided into two groups , single dose group and multiple doses group .All the patients were given loading dose of 6μg· kg-1 levosimendan at baseline , and then given 0.1μg· kg-1 · min-1 continuous 24h in-fusion pump.The above regimen was administered once again after one month and six months in the patients of multiple doses group . Left ventricular end systolic volume ( LVESV ) , left ventricular end diastolic volume ( LVEDV ) , left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), mitral annulus systolic velocity (SM), myocardial performance index (MOI), blood brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proB-NP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6(IL-6) were compared between the two groups before the treatment , and after tge three-day and 6-month treatment.Results:Compared with those before the treatment , LVESF, LVEF, Sm, MPI, NT-proB-NP, IL-6 and TNF-αin in the two groups were significantly improved after the three-day treatment (P<0.05).The indices were sig-nificantly improved in multiple doses group after the 6-month treatment when compared with those before the treatment and in single dose group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion: Repeated intravenous administration of levosi-mendan is superior to the single dose administration in improving hemodynamics and inflammatory factors .

Objective To study the effects of Xuanbaichengqi decoction on the regulation of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1 β in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and its mechanism.Methods 60 patients with ARDS who had been hospitalized from January 2016 to August 2016 were randonly selected and then assigned to a control group (30 patients) and a study group (30 patients).Both groups received routine therapies and mechanical ventilation,and the study group received additional Xuanbaichengqi decoction.Levels of TNF-o,IL-1β and IL-10,and peak inspiratory pressure (PIP),plateau airway pressure (Pplat),PVC,forced vital capacity (FVC),forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1),and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) were detected before and after treatment.Results Levels of TNF-α and IL-1βwere significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).IL-10 level was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).And the improvement in PIP and Pplat was also significant in the study group (P ＜ 0.05).Less adverse reactions occurred in the study group.Conclusions Xuanbaichengqi decoction can improve the indexes for respiratory mechanics and pulmonary function in patients on mechanical ventilation and reduce the inflammatory response,having a significant effect.
