Objective To analyze the recent changes in features of joint injury caused by the fast running railroad train. Methods 1279 joint injuries o f the 10214 cases of train injury after the speeding up of the railway services from 1997 to 2003 were analyzed to find out their particular causal conditions, the severity of the injury, and the classification of the injuries, the correlat ion between which and recovery was also tested by AIS-ISS grading. Results Afte r the speeding up of the railway services, the incidence of joint injuries rose from 33.54% to 34.12%,the mortality rose from 22.88% to 30.33%,the multipl e joint severances rose from 19.84% to 34.19%,the open joint injury rose from 31.71% to 63.15%,and the mortality caused by multiple joint severances rose from 21.19% to 49.07%. Conclusions The incidence of multiple traumas resulted from the train is much higher than those resulted from other causes. Multiple t raumas caused by train are very difficult to deal with. The multiple organ dysfu nction syndrome (MODS) is a main factor to cause the death.

OBJECTIVE: To study the treatment effect of CO2 laser and self-made laryngeal dilator on the laryngeal stenosis. METHOD: Twenty-five patients with laryngeal stenosis were treated with CO2 laser and self-made laryngeal dilator. The laryngeal cavity scar was resected as much as possible by using CO2 laser and the laryngeal cavity was exposed by placing laryngeal dilator under general anesthesia. RESULT: The 24 cases of all were successfully decanulated 1 to 12 months after operation and could breathe freely. One case had second operation and was successfully decanulated 9 months after operation. The follow-up for 1 to 2 years showed all cases speaking well and 3 cases recurrence. CONCLUSION The method for treating laryngeal stenosis using CO2 laser and self-mande laryngeal dilator is effective, fewer complication, less invasive, and faster recovery. The laryngeal dilator is made simply and conveniently.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum miR-155 for pancreatic cancer.Methods A total of 110 pancreatic cancer patients,70 chronic pancreatitis and 58 healthy individuals who admitted to the First People's Hospital of Hefei between January 2009 and August 2013 were prospectively enrolled.Their serum miR-155 levels were detected by real-time PCR.The receiver operating characteristic curve was employed to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of miR-155 for pancreatic cancer.Correlations between miR-155,carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) and TNM stages were analyzed.The Kap1an-Meier approach and the Cox model were used to assess the prognostic value of miR-155 for pancreatic cancer.Results Pancreatic cancer patients had significantly higher serum miR-155 when compared either with chronic pancreatitis patients or healthy individuals (P ＜ 0.05 for both).The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.82 (95％ CI:0.75 ～ 0.88) for miR-155,and 0.88 (95％ CI:0.82 ～0.93) for miR-155 combined with CA19-9.MiR-155 increased as the TNM stages advanced,and it was positively correlated with CA 19-9 (R2 =0.22,P ＜ 0.05).MiR-155 ≥ 1.46 △CT was independently associated with pancreatic cancer mortality,with a hazard ration of 2.88 (95％ CI:1.26 ～ 6.58).Conclusion Serum miR-155 is a useful biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To investigate the adjuvant effect of initial periodontal therapy by observing the eradiation rate of gastric helicobacter pylori( Hp) in the patients with gastric ulcer treated by the therapy. Methods:Totally 88 patients with stomach ulcer and chronic periodontitis were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups. The control group was treated by triple therapy,the experimental group was treated by initial periodontal therapy additionally with the treatment course of one month. The changes of Hp in stomach and periodontium were observed and the eradiation rate of Hp was compared between the two groups respectively after 1-, 3-, 6-and 12-month treatment. Results:After 3, 6 and 12 months, the eradiation rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the other group (P < 0. 05). Conclusion: Initial periodontal therapy combined with triple therapy can obviously improve the eradication rate of gastric Hp in the patients with gastric ulcer and chronic periodontitis.

HOXA10 gene plays an essential role in differentiation of the endometrium and in human reproduction. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory effect of sex steroids and HB-EGF on HOXA10 gene in Ishikawa cells. Ishikawa cells were incubated with 17-beta estradiol (10(-8) mol/L), medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) (10(-6) mol/L), RU486 (10(-5) mol/L) or HB-EGF (10 ng/mL) for 48 h respectively. The expression of HOXA10 gene was detected by immunofluorescence, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Our results showed that either estrogen alone, progestin alone or progestin combined with estrogen could significantly increase the expression of HOXA10 gene 48 h after the treatment (P<0.05). But estrogen combined with progestin and RU486 could inhibit the up-regulation by estrogen and progestin. HB-EGF could elevate the expression of HOXA10 gene 48 h after the treatment (P<0.05). It is concluded that both estrogen and progestin can up-regulate the expression of HOXA10 gene in Ishikawa cells, but RU486 can inhibit the effect and HB-EGF can elevate the expression level of HOXA10 gene.

ObjectiveTo investigate the curative effect of the treatment for the distal humeral shaft fracture with double steel plate internal fixation. Methods A total of 60 individuals who were humeral shaft fractures were included from March 2009 to April 2014 in the second people's hospital of Yunnan province. 28 of them were treated using double plate fixation(group A)and 32 of them were treated using single-plate treatment (group B). Blood loss, hospital stay, postoperative drainage, healing time and Mayo elbow performance score were compared between the two groups. Results(1)Blood loss, hospital stay and postoperative drainage showed no differences between two groups. However, the healing time between these two groups showed difference(P < 0.05).(2)MEPS score results showed a significantly difference in the excellent rate of patients between groups A and B(96.4% and 75%, respectively,P < 0.05). Conclusion The double plate fixation and single plate fixation for treatment of humeral shaft fracture showed no differences in operation time,blood loss,postoperative drainage and hospital stay. However,the double plate fixation showed a shorter healing time and better efficacy. Thus,the double plate fixation of humeral shaft fracture can contribute to obtain the rigid internal fixation,early functional exercise and better clinical efficacy.
