Total 1 500 subjects aged over 60 years were selected from 10 community health service centers with cluster sampling method.A questionnaire survey and physical examination were performed in all subjects.Sixty five patients with chronic heart failure were detected.The questionnaire showed that 77.6% (38/49)patients were diagnosed in tertiary hospitals,and 12.2% (6/49) were diagnosed in community hospitals.When heart failure occurred,most patients (37.7%,20/53) chose to take a taxi to the tertiary hospital directly,and less patients (17.0%,9/53)contacted community doctors.When a heart attack happened,68.8% (33/48)of the patients could reach the hospital within 30 min,and 55.3% (26/47) within 60 min.45.7% (21/46) elderly patients were hospitalized for heart failure once a year;31.1% (14/45) were in hospital for less than 10 d each time.46.0% (23/50) heart failure patients had received health education and 40.0% (16/40) had taken drugs under supervision;the majority health educators were community doctors and majority supervisors were family members.The results suggest that the confirmed diagnosis and treatment of heart failure patients still rely on tertiary hospitals,community health institutions play an important role in health education and management of heart failure patients outside hospitals.But the utilization of community health services is still not enough in community health service centers.

Objective To study and prepare the monoclonal antibody library against human FXYD6 functional region,to screen the hybridoma cell lines secreting the monoclonal antibodies against intracellular or extracellular region of human FXYD6,and to identify the biological function of monoclonal antibody against extracellular domain.Methods FXYD6 functional region recombinant protein which did not contain the transmembrane region was prokaryotically expressed,purified,and FXYD6 recombinant protein was used to immunize BALB/c mice.Then splenocytes after immunization were fused with myeloma cells SP2/0.After several rounds of screening and cloning,the hybridomas which secreted the antibodies against the extracellular domain or the intracellular domain of human FXYD6 were established.The antibody specificity and subtype were identified with indirect ELISA,western blot and immunohistochemistry.The monoclonal antibodies against the extracellular domain which recognized the native conformation were screened with flow cytometry.The antibody against extracellular region was prepared with the ascites revulsion method and purified.The affinity constants were measured with indirect ELISA.The function of extracellular monoclonal antibody was detected by HepG2 cell line with high expression of FXYD6.Results The hybridoma cell library which secreted the monoclonal antibody against extracellular domain or the intracellular domain of human FXYD6 was successfully obtained,and extracellular region monoclonal antibodies with the functional blocking were prepared.Conclusion The prepared anti-human FXYD6 extracellular monoclonal antibodies could inhibit HepG2 cell proliferation.

Objective:To compare the therapeutic effects of cannulated screws and Kirschner wires in the treatment of medial malleolar fractures of Salter-Harris types Ⅲ and Ⅳ in children.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 48 and 16 children who had been treated respectively at Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Fuzhou Second General Hospital, and Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for medial malleolar fractures of Salter-Harris types Ⅲ and Ⅳ from June 2016 to June 2022. There were 32 males and 32 females with an age of 12 (10, 14) years; 31 left and 33 right sides were affected. By the Salter-Harris classification: type Ⅲ in 45 cases, and type Ⅳ in 19 cases. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to their internal fixation methods. Group A (44 cases) was subjected to internal fixation with cannulated screws and group B (20 cases) to internal fixation with Kirschner wires. At the last follow-up, anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films of their ankle joints were taken for imaging evaluation. Functional recovery of the affected limbs was evaluated based on the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scoring, and related complications were recorded.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there were no significant differences in their preoperative general data except laterality ( P>0.05). All the patients were followed up for (37.3±21.5) months and achieved bony union. At the last follow-up, for groups A and B respectively, the distal lateral angle of the tibia was 89.0° (89.0°, 90.0°) and 89.0° (89.0°, 90.0°), the range of ankle motion was 73.5° (67.8°, 76.0°) and 70.0° (70.0°, 75.0°), and the good and excellent rate by the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scoring was 97.7% (43/44) and 95.0% (19/20), showing no significant difference between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was a significant difference between the 2 groups in the incidence of premature physeal closure [36.4% (16/44) versus 65.0% (13/20)] ( P=0.033). Conclusions:In the treatment of medial malleolar fractures of Salter-Harris types Ⅲ and Ⅳ in children, internal fixation with both cannulated screws and Kirschner wires can lead to comparable efficacy in good functional recovery and imaging evaluation. However, fixation with cannulated screws may be more advantageous in reducing the risk of early closure of the epiphysis.

Objective:To explore the clinical features and surgical outcomes of greater trochanteric fractures of the femoral neck in children.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 5 children with greater trochanteric fracture of the femoral neck who had been treated at Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Fuzhou Second General Hospital from January 2011 to December 2020. There were 1 boy and 4 girls, with an age of (11.0±1.9) years. By the Delbet classification, all were type Ⅲ fractures. The time from injury to operation was (4.4±2.1) days. The children were treated with cannulated screws (1 case) or fixation with a pediatric hip plate (4 cases). The clinical features of such fractures were analyzed; the fracture union time and hip function and complications at the last follow-up were recorded.Results:The clinical features of greater trochanteric fractures of the femoral neck in children were: (1) involvement of 2 anatomic sites in a narrow region, (2) comminuted fractures, and (3) all Delbet type Ⅲ fractures. The follow-up time was (22.8±6.0) months. All the 5 children obtained bony union. The union time was (5.2±1.8) weeks for greater trochanteric fractures, and 8.0 (8.0,10.0) weeks for femoral neck fractures. Follow-up observed no necrosis of the femoral head, premature closure of the femoral head epiphysis, hip varus deformity, or length disparity between the lower limbs. Premature closure of the greater trochanteric epiphysis occurred in 2 children after surgery. According to the Ratliff scoring, the hip function was excellent in 3 cases and good in 2.Conclusions:Greater trochanteric fractures of the femoral neck in children are a special kind of proximal femoral comminuted fractures that affect 2 anatomic sites in a narrow region and belong all to Delbet type Ⅲ fractures. Open reduction and internal fixation with cannulated screws or a pediatric hip plate is a safe and effective treatment for such fractures.
