The practice guidelines on Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia have been developed and revised by European federation of neurological societies(EFNS),American academy of neurology(AAN) and American psychiatric association(APA) recent years.The aim of these international guidelines was to present evidence-based statement for the care of patients with dementia.These guidelines on dementia cover major aspects of diagnosis,with particular emphasis on assessment of cognitive functions and psychological symptoms,the blood tests,neuroimaging,electroencephalography(EEG),cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) analysis,genetic testing and tissue biopsy.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate characteristics and security of artificial synthetic material for repairing incisional hernia of abdominal wall. METHODS: Articles about randomized controlled studies which were focus on repairing incisional hernia of abdominal wall were collected from CNKI from 2001 to 2009 with the retrieval words of "repairing materials for hernia,polypropylene patch, and incisional hernia ofabdominal wall". And then, those articles were summed up and analyzed. RESULTS: Among 24 tests, a total of 1 393 patients who had incisional hernia of abdominal wall, abdominal-wall defect, andinguinal hernia were included in the final analysis. Polypropylene patch and polytetrafluoroethylene patch could reconstruct integrity of abdominal wall during repairing large and huge incisional hernia, characterizing by less trauma, simple operation, rapid recovery, and low relapse rate. However, import patches were expensive. Home-made dacron materials for repairing hernia has been compared with import polypropylene patch, and the results indicated that dacron materials had light foreign body sensation and good complaisance after implantation; additionally, there was no significant difference in security and adverse reaction between dacron materials and import patches. CONCLUSION: Artificial synthetic materials characterize by great biocompatibility, strong anti-tensile strength, excellent tolerance to inflexion, optional cutting, beneficial for abdominal-wall defect at differential sizes, no comfortlessness, rapid recovery, low relapse rate, and less complication. Thus, artificial synthetic materials are extensive prospect.

BACKGROUND:Internal fixation is the main treatment of humeral shaft fractures, especial y for cases accompanied several injuries. According to the fracture reduction method and fixation methods, the commonly used repair methods include intramedul ary nail and minimal y invasive plate. How to choose a safe and effective method of internal fixation is a hot issue in the repair of humeral shaft fractures. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical effect of different fixations of intramedul ary nail and plate in the treatment of adult humeral shaft fracture. METHODS:A total of 252 patients with humeral shaft fracture recruited from Heze Municipal Hospital from May 2010 to May 2013 were randomly divided into two groups, with 126 cases in each group. Patients in the two groups were treated with intramedul ary nail fixation and plate fixation, respectively. The average operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stays, and healing time of fracture in the two groups were recorded. Al patients were fol owed up for 1 year postoperatively, the incidence of radial nerve injury, infection and non-union was compared. The recovery of shoulder joint and elbow joint of patients was assessed with Neer method and Mayo method, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After treatment, the rate of primary success of internal fixation showed no significant differences between the two groups (χ2=0.399 7, P>0.05). The average operation time, intraoperative blood loss, the healing time of fracture and hospital stays in the intramedul ary nail group were significantly shorter than that in the plate group B, the difference of the results were extremely significant in two groups (t=15.442 5, 21.713 4, 8.217 6, 1.214 8, P<0.01). After 1-year fol ow-up, the incidence of radial nerve injury showed extremely significant differences between the two groups (χ2=8.262 3, P<0.01);the incidence of nonunion in the intramedul ary nail group was significantly lower than that in the plate group, with extremely significant differences (χ2=3.947 2, P<0.05). The overal incidence of complications in intramedul ary nail group was significantly lower than that in the plate group, with extremely significant difference (χ2=11.977 9, P<0.01). Besides, the Neer scores of shoulder joint and the Mayo scores of elbow joint between the two groups had no statistical y significant difference (χ2=0.235 4, 0.273 0, P>0.05). Both intramedul ary nail and plate fixations show good clinical effect in treatment of adult humeral shaft fracture, and each technique has their advantages and disadvantages, we should choose the proper technique according to the patient’s condition.

Objective As a special type of chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis ( AIP ) is gradually being recognized?In 2001,researchers found that serum IgG4 levels were significantly increased in AIP patients,2% of chronic pancreatitis was 1?AIP; 1?AIP was considered a systemic disease associated with IgG4?So far,a number of autoimmune antigens associated with 1?AIP have been identified,but the role of IgG4 in the disease is certain,because the pathogenesis of the disease is not sure,the diagnosis and treatment of AIP is not optimistic.

Objective: To assess the influence of different doses of CKLF1 plasmid on the dynamics and magnitude of the mobilization of the mobilization bone of marrow stem cells in a rat AMI model.Methods: Different doses of plasmid DNA encoding CKLF1 gene,empty plasmid or saline were injected into male SD rats intramuscularly with in vivo electroporation.Rats were subjected to left coronary artery ligation 6 days after gene transfer.Peripheral blood samples were drawn and CD34~+ cells were assayed by FACS calibur flow-cytometer.The changes in absolute number of CD34~+ cells were evaluated.Results: Expressions of CKLF1 mRNA and protein were detected in the injection site 7 days after gene transfer.Five days after gene transfer,the CD34~+ cells numbers in CKLF1 groups were significantly higher than those in empty plasmid group,especially in CKLF1 100?g group(16.63?10~6/L vs 4.98?10~6/L,P

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of two-stage delayed open reduction and internal fixation on Pilon fractures.Methods The clinical data of 36 patients(26 males and 10 females;aged 18-57 years with a mean of 38.5 years;9 patients suffered from open fractures and 27 with closed fractures;25 combined with fibular fractures) with monolateral Pilon fracture hospitalized in succession from Jan.2001 to Oct.2006 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the Ruedi-Allgower classification,there were 6 cases with type Ⅰ,21 with type Ⅱ and 9 with type Ⅲ fracture.All patients underwent temporary fixation with calcaneal traction or plaster slab for 7 to 14 days(mean 9.8d),and then they were treated with delayed surgery when the soft tissue injuries subsided.Ankle functions were evaluated to assess the clinical outcomes,and complications were documented for further analysis.Results Follow-up was performed for 19 to 34 months(in mean of 28 months).Based on the Mazur classification,the ankle function in 13 cases was excellent,17 as good,4 as fair and 2 as poor,with a satisfactory rate of 83.3%.Postoperative complications included 2 cases of superficial incision infections,2 of skin slough and 19 of articular degeneration.Conclusion Two-stage delayed open reduction and internal fixation is a reasonable and effective procedure in treating Pilon fractures with advantages of few complications and satisfactory ankle function.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effect of sodium valproate ( VPA) on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibro-sis ( PF) and its mechanism.METHODS: SD rats ( n =42 ) were randomly divided into model group and treatment group.Bleomycin at dose of 5 mg/kg was intratracheally injected to establish a rat PF model.The rats in treatment group were given normal saline (NS, 0.5 mL/d), VPA (300 mg· kg-1· d-1) or dexamethasone (DEX, 0.6 mg· kg-1· d-1 ) via intraperitoneal injection from the 14th day to the 28th day after modeling.The rats in model group were sacrificed on 0 d, 14 day and 28 d after modeling .The rats in treatment group were killed at 14th day after treatment.The effects of VPA on PF were evaluated by HE and Masson staining.The hydroxyproline ( HYP) content in the rat lung tissues was de-tected, and the expression ofα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and E-cadherin was determined by Western blotting.RE-SULTS:HE staining showed that the alveolar structure and interstitial morphology in VPA group were better than those in NS group and DEX group.The level of collagen in VPA group was significantly lower than that in DEX group and NS group by determining the HYP content and Masson staining.VPA reduced the expression ofα-SMA, a mesenchymal marker pro-tein of PF, while increased the expression of epithelial marker protein E-cadherin.CONCLUSION:VPA reduces collagen content and distribution, and up-regulates the expression of the epithelial marker protein E-cadherin, while down-regulates mesenchymal marker proteinα-SMA, thereby preventing the rat lung tissues from bleomycin-induced PF.
