BACKGROUND:Single fracture or colapse of the posterolateral tibial plateau fractures is relatively rare in the clinical work. Rational choice of surgical approach and internal fixation for posterolateral plateau fracture is significant to restore the lower limb force line, maintain the joint stability and obtain good biocompatibility.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the stability and biocompatibility of Carlson posterolateral and posterior midline approaches for the treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures with “T” shaped locking plate.
METHODS:From July 2011 to July 2014, 43 patients with posterolateral tibial plateau fractures, who were treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University, were retrospectively analyzed. Al patients were assigned to two groups according to approaches. In the Carlson posterolateral approach group, 22 cases received “T”-shaped plate insertion by Carlson posterolateral approach. In the posterior midline approach group, 21 cases received “T”-shaped plate insertion by posterior midline approach. After repair, perioperative data, fixation effects and knee function score were compared and analyzed between both groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) 43 cases (43 knees) of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures were folowed up strictly. (2) No significant difference in operation time, fracture healing time, total load time, Hospital for Special Surgery score at 12 months postoperatively, tibial plateau angle and posterior slope angle immediately and 12 months postoperatively was detected between both groups (P > 0.05). (3) Significant differences in fracture exposure, blood loss, and excelent and good rate of Rasmussen at 12 months postoperatively were identified in both groups. Moreover, above indexes were better in the Carlson posterolateral approach group than in the posterior midline approach group (P< 0.05). (4) These findings confirmed that for a single fracture or colapse of the posterolateral tibial plateau fractures, two kinds of surgical approaches can achieve ful and direct exposure. Carlson posterolateral approach has good repair effect, fixation effect and biocompatibility.

Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative preplacement of nasobiliary drainage in radiofrequency ablation of small hepatocellular carcinoma at hepatic portal. Methods 7 patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma who were admitted to our hospital from June 2014 to June 2017 were selected. All patients were the cases who were prone to injure the bile duct at hepatic portal upon the radiofrequency electrode needle entering liver cancer in the small hepatocellular carcinoma at hepatic portal. The nasal bile duct was pre-placed preoperatively, and infusion of water into nasobiliary bile duct was conducted to expand the bile duct for intraoperative identification and avoiding false puncture. In some cases, after intraoperative bile duct injury, postoperative nasobiliary drainage was given to avoid obstructive jaundice or the occurrence of bile tumor at hepatic portal. Results The treatment effective rate in the patients was 100％ (7/7). Blood biochemistry, routine blood test, liver function were re-examined after surgery. Liver CT or MRI was reexamined 30 to 60 d after surgery. After the preplacement of nasal biliary, there was one case of pancreatitis, with the incidence rate of complications of 14. 3％. The long-term treatment effect was favorable, without tumor recur-rence. Conclusion For small hepatocellular carcinoma at hepatic portal, preoperative preplacment of nasobiliary drainage is used, and the direction of the bile duct during radiofrequency ablation can be clearly observed, so as to effectively avoid the bile duct injury.

Objective: To observe the effect of Tai Chi combined with conventional western medicine therapy for elderly patients with type2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: According to randomized controlled design, 108 patients were divided into two groups ,with 54 in each group. Patients in control group were treated with conventional western medicine therapy and regular walk (three times per week), while the patients in the observation group were treated with conventional western medicine therapy and Tai Chi (three times per week), both groups were treated for 12 weeks. Before and after treatments, diabetes symptoms scale was used to assess disease conditions, FPG and HbA1c were detected separately by methods of HK (hexokinase) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Diabetes mellitus Specific Quality of Life scale (DSQL) were used to assess the quality of life, Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale (SES6G) was used to assess patients’ self-management ability, and Geriatric Depression Scale was used to assess patients' depression emotions. Results: After treatments, the clinical symptoms scores (1.79 ± 1.21 vs. 2.86 ± 1.66, t=-3.401), the DSQL scores (50.40 ± 10.88 vs. 56.00 ± 10.85, t=-2.156), the GDS scores (5.63 ± 0.71 vs. 6.08 ±0.91, t=-2.515) of observation group were significantly lower than that of control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the SES6G scores (7.54 ± 0.59 vs. 6.89 ± 0.39, t=-5.987) of observation group were significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01); after treatments, the D-value of FPG (-0.97 ± 1.54 mmol/L vs. -0.28 ± 1.74 mmol/L, t=-2.092) was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The Tai Chi combined with conventional western medicine therapy could alleviate clinical symptoms and negative emotions, improve disease management and quality of life, regulate blood glucose of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Taiji Quan, as a kind of mild to moderate aerobic exercise, may do benefit in senile hypertension patients. From the views of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Taiji Quan can make the Yin and Yang balance and the Channels and Meridians smooth. For the modern medicine, Taiji Quan can regulate the function of circulation, breath, nerve, incretion and metabolism, etc.
