Objective To investigate the clinical effects of bioglue compound and anatomic plate in treatment of tibial plateau fractures. Methods 28 cases of tibial plateau fractures were treated by means of open reduction and internal fixation with bioglue compound and anatomic plate. The intervals between operation and injury ranged from 5 to 10 days. The amounts of bioglue compound implanted ranged from 3 to 8 grams. Results All the patients were followed up for 6 to 22 months. All the fractures healed satisfactorily without sunken joint surface. According to Mechant criteria, the result was excellent in 13 cases, good in 11 cases, moderate in 3 cases and poor in 1 case. The total excellent and good rate was 85.3 %. Conclusion Internal fixation with bioglue compound and anatomic plate can result in good effects in treatment of tibial plateau fractures, because the bioglue compound possesses high bone inductive potentialities to repair bone defects.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To establish the insulin resistance rat model for evaluating the correlation of omentin-1 level and insulin resistance.METHODS: SPF male Wistar rats ( n =30 ) were randomly divided into normal control group (NC, n=15) and high-fat diet group (HF, n=15).The rats in NC group were fed with basic diet.The insulin resistant model was established by feeding the rats with high-fat diet in HF group.After 10 weeks, 5 rats in each group were as-sessed by the technique of hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp.After the insulin resistant model was successfully estab-lished, the body weight and fasting blood glucose were detected.The concentration of fasting serum omentin-1 was analyzed by ELISA.Fasting serum insulin was measured by radioimmunoassay.RESULTS: No difference of fasting blood glucose between the 2 groups was observed.The level of fasting serum insulin in HF group was significantly higher than that in NC group ( P <0.05 ) .The level of serum omentin-1 in HF group were significantly decreased compared with NC group (P<0.01).Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that negative correlations between serum omentin-1 and fasting serum insulin (r=-0.654,P<0.01), serum omentin-1 and free fatty acid (r=-0.446, P<0.05) was found.CONCLU-SION:In rats, serum omentin-1 level began to decrease at insulin resistance stage.As serum omentin-1 level decreased, the basal insulin level increased, indicating that decreased serum omentin-1 level may be an early factor of IR, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To measure and analyze the staffing standards of family doctor interdisciplinary team by means of the WHO workload indicator of staffing need (WISN)method,for reference of the government in building family doctor interdisciplinary teams.Methods 150 community health centers in 16 provinces were selected.The related data from 150 centers were collected to analyze the population served by each family doctor,and the staffing standards of family doctor interdisciplinary team by means of the WHO workload indicator of staffing need(WISN)method.Results There were 10 721 community health professionals in the sample centers which provide 132.14 million standard equivalents of service to the public.1 9 6 1 6 community health professionals were needed to ensure the quality of service and no extra workload after work for professionals.Averagely,each family doctor can serve 1 558 residents,who needs 1.3~1.5 nurses or public health workers.Conclusions A huge gap was found for community health professionals.The population served by each family doctor should be lowered compared to the governmental requirement and more nurses should be introduced to the family doctor interdisciplinary team.

Objective To evaluate the characteristics of left ventricular systolic longitudinal strain in uremic patients and its relationship with dialysis time using three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE).Methods Forty-six uremic patients were divided into three groups according dialysis time (ranged 0-5 years):group A (≤1 year),group B (1 year＞time ≤3 years),group C (3 years ＞time≤5 years),group D was control group.The dynamic images of apical four chamber view were displayed and apical full-volume images were obtained and saved in all subjects using a full volume matrix probe.The original data was recorded and was analyzed by using off-line 3DT analysis software (TomTec 4D MV-Assessment).The longitudinal peak systolic strain and 16 segment systolic strains and strain mean value in 16 segment of left ventricular were acquired and compared.Results The peak strain of apical segment was lower than that of the basal segment and the middle segment and it had an increasing trend from the apical segment to the basal segment in three uremia groups.Instead,it had a decreasing trend from the apical segment to the basal segment in control group.But the differences were not statistically significant.The longitudinal peak systolic strain value,16 segment strain value and mean value of 16 segment strain all were lower in three uremic groups than those of control group.Every segment of 16 segment stain value in group A was higher than those of group B and C.There was no difference in every segment between B and C group in addition to basal and middle segment of anterior septum.Conclusions 3D-STE could evaluate the left ventricular systolic function in uremic patients and the cardiac function could be partly protected by regular dialysis treatment.

Objective To investigate the application and effect of aerobic exercise of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods Ninety-four hospitalized patients with COPD from June 2011 to June 2012 were enrolled.The clinical curative effect and safety of aerobic exercise of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD were observed and compared.Results After 3 months treatment,first second forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) were increased compared with those before treatment [(3.25 ± 0.49) L vs.(2.59 ± 0.55) L,(1.95 ± 0.41) L vs.(1.44 ± 0.48) L],and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in FEV1/FVC before and after treatment (P ＞ 0.05).After 3 months treatment,arterial partial pressure of oxygen and arterial oxygen saturation were increased compared with those before treatment [(87.61 ± 8.56) mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.(63.88 ± 8.79) mm Hg,0.9648 ±0.0449 vs.0.7632 ± 0.0477],partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide was decreased compared with that before treatment [(30.57 ± 9.47) mm Hg vs.(49.23 ± 9.54) mm Hg],and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).There was no signifi.cant difference in blood pressure and heart rate before and after treatment (P＞ 0.05).No obvious adverse reactions were observed.Conclusions The aerobic exercise of pulmonary rehabilitation can improve significantly lung function.It is safe and rehable,and has less adverse reaction in patients with COPD.It is worthy of promotion and use.

ObjectiveTo assess the characteristics of left ventrlcular ( LV) systolic syncnrony before and 6 days after percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation(PTSMA)in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) using two dimensional speckle tracking imaging(2DSTI),and to investigate correlation between the LV systolic synchrony and LV outflow-trace gradient (LVOTG).MethodsLVOTG were measured before and 6 days after PTSMA in 21 patients with HOCM.The two dimensional loop-cinec were obtained in three levels of the short axis views of LV (mitral valve,papillary muscle and cardiac apex).The time from the onset of QRS complexes to systolic peak strain from the radial vectors (TRs) was recorded using 2D-STI.The standard deviation of the TRS of 18 segments (TRsSD) were calculated as indicator of LV systolic synchrony.Results Six days after PTSMA,LVOTG decreased significantly from (84.3 ± 19.1)mm Hg to (40.6 ± 8.3)mm Hg( P ＜0.01).TRS of the base and middle segments of anteroseptal were prolonged dramatically( P ＜0.05) 6 days after PTSMA compared with that before.There were no significantly differences in TRs-SD of LV between before and 6 days after PTSMA ( t =1.03,P ＞ 0.05).Decreased LVOTG correlated moderately to prolonged TRS of the base segments of anteroseptal ( r =0.657,P ＜0.05).Conclusions2D-STI can detect exactly the characteristics of LV systolic synchrony before and 6 days after PTSMA in patients with HOCM.

Objective To investigate the effects of a new c-Met inhibitor SU11274 on apoptosis and motility of c-Met-positive basal-like breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Methods The concentrations of SUl1274 were set to 0,0.1,1,10 and 20 μmol/L.Morphological change of apoptotic cells was analyzed by Hoechst33342,MitroTrackerRed and Yo-pro-1 staining.The apoptotic rate of MDA-MB-231 cells were determined by Annexin V/PI double-staining. The expression of apoptosis related proteins (Bcl-XL,Caspase-3 and PARP) and phosphorylation levels of c-Met and Akt were analyzed by Western blot.The capability of motility were measured by wound-healing assay and chemotaxis assay. Results After treatment by SU11274( 10 μmol/L) for 48 h,shrinking apoptotic cells of MDA-MB-231 was observed by flurescent microscope and nuclear fragmentation was seen.Annexin V/PI double-staining showed SU11274induced apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells (P ＜ 0.05 ),and the apoptotic rates were (7.3 ± 0.9) ％,( 14.1 ±0.6) ％,(35.5 ± 4.4) ％ and (48.2 ± 5.3 ) ％,respectively.SU11274 downregulated the expression of Bcl-XL and promoted the dissection of Caspase-3 and PARP in a dose dependent relationship.SU11274 prolongs the wound-healing time,decreases the migration cell count (P ＜ 0.05 ) and effectively inhibits the phosphorylation of c-Met and its downstream key proteins Akt in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusions C-Met inhibitor SU11274 induces apoptosis and inhibits the motility of c-Met-positive basallike breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231,probably through inhibiting phosphorylation of c-Met/PI3K/Akt.

ObjectiveTo determine the feasibility of using left ventricular volume-time curve in the evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function,and to analyze characteristics of left ventricular volume-time curve changcs in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).MethodsSeventeen cases of HCM and 12 healthy volunteers received cardiac MRI (CMRI) examination,and left ventricular (LV) 2-chamber long and short axis cine imaging were performed,LV volume-time curves were reconstructed and platform time,different diastolic volume recovery (DVR) time and their corresponding filling velocity were calculated from LV volume-time curve off-line.The DVR time and their corresponding filling velocity were analyzed by using multiple linear regression analysis. Results Compared with the group of healthy volunteers,ventricular septal HCM group had delayed left ventricular 50％,70％ DVR time[ (8.9 ± 1.3) versus (7.7 ± 0.8 ) phase,F=6.787,P=0.016;(11.3 ±1.6) versus(9.7±1.8) phase,F=4.927,P=0.036] and shortened plateau time [ ( 1.8 ± 1.7) versus ( 4.1 ± 1.4 ) phase,t =6.787,P ＜ 0.01 ].Ventricular septal HCM group had reduced 30％,50％ DVR filling rates [ (0.22 ± 0.11 ) versus (0.40 ± 0.15 ) ml/ms,F =12.916,P ＜ 0.01 ; (0.20 ± 0.09 ) versus (0.30 ± 0.10) ml/ms,F =7.121,P =0.014 ] compared with those in the group of healthy volunteers.But 70％,80％,90％ DVR filling rates showed no statistically significant different in the two groups.In HCM patients,myocardial fibrosis caused 50％,70％,80％ DVR time delay [ (9.6 ± 1.0) versus ( 7.9 ± 1.5 ) phase,F =5.000,P =0.045 ; ( 12.3 ± 1.4 ) versus ( 9.6 ± 1.8)phase,F=8.039,P=0.015;(13.1 ±1.4 ) versus(10.9±1.9)phase,F=5.060,P=0.044],but no significant difference of DVR filling rate was found between the two groups. Conclusions Left ventricular volume curve analysis techniques can be used for detailed evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function.The left ventricular diastolic dysfunction of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy occurs mainly in early diastolic period,and accompanied by the shortening of the plateau time. Myocardial fibrosis can aggravate early left ventricular diastolic dysfunction of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
