BACKGROUND:The conservative treatment of humeral fracture is difficult to achieve a good reduction. Minimaly invasive percutaneous plate fixation has been widely used, and has good repair results, but the specific mechanism of action is not clear.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the repair effect of different fixation methods on proximal humerus fractures.
METHODS: From August 2011 to October 2014, we selected 96 patients with proximal humerus fractures from the Shougang Hospital of Peking University. These patients were equaly divided into two groups according to the principle of random draw. Patients in the control group were treated with open reduction and conventional surgery fixation. Patients in the treatment group received minimaly invasive percutaneous plate fixation. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, incision length and postoperative hospital stay were recorded in both groups. At 8 weeks after treatment, patients received radiography to identify the reduction. Range of motion of the shoulder joint was scored. Within 8 weeks after treatment, the occurrence of complications was observed and compared in both groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intraoperative blood loss, incision length and postoperative hospital stay were significantly less in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in operation time was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). At 8 weeks after treatment, the excelent and good rate of reduction was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (98%, 81%,P < 0.05). Flexion, abduction, external rotation and internal rotation scores were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Bone compartment syndrome, vascular injury, infection and bleeding were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). These findings confirm that compared with open reduction and internal fixation, minimaly invasive percutaneous plate fixation of proximal humerus fractures has less impact on the body, can promote reduction of the fracture, has few complications, and contributes to the recovery of shoulder function.

Objective To compare the appearances between chronic mastitis and breast cancer on MRI and investigate the differ-ential diagnostic value.Methods MRI data of 20 patients with chronic mastitis pathologically proved by biopsy or operation were ret-rospectively analyzed.30 cases of breast cancer were contemporaneously chosen as the control group.Morphological feature and dy-namic contrast-enhanced(DCE)manifestation of the lesions were evaluated and statistical difference was compared between mastitis and breast cancer.Morphological feature included configuration,spiculated sign,ring-like enhancement,peri-focal edema,skin thick-ening,nipple involvement and axillary lymph nodes enlargement.DCE manifestation contained calculating early enhancement ratio and drawing time-intensity curve (TIC).Results There were significant statistical differences among configuration,ring-like en-hancement and peri-focal edema between mastitis and breast cancer,respectively.No statistical differences could be found among spiculated sign,skin thickening,nipple involvement and axillary lymph nodes enlargement.Early enhancement ratio in the group of mastitis was 1.1 56±0.635 while 1.253±0.499 in the group of breast cancer and there was no statistical difference between them. There were 1 1 cases with type Ⅰ TIC,6 with type Ⅱ,3 with type Ⅲ in the lesions of mastitis,while 4 with type Ⅰ,1 1 with typeⅡ,1 5 with type Ⅲ in the lesions of breast cancer and significant statistical differences could be found between two groups.Conclu-sion Mastitis usually manifests as non-mass-like lesions on MRI.Ring-like enhancement,peri-focal edema and benign type TIC can be applied to discriminate mastitis from breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the relieving effects of vanillin sinffing on depression-like behaviors in depressed rats and to explore the possible underlying mechanism.Methods Depression animal model established by chronic unpredictable medium intensity stress combined with isolation and destroy the olfactory bulb.The depressed rats were divided randomly into vanillin inhalation group,fluoxetine hydrochloride group,depression model group,olfactory bulbectomy with the vanillin inhalation treatment group and sham-operated group.Nervous behavioral changes had been observed at different time after the administration of 5 weeks.The concentration of brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) in the brain homogenate and the positive expression of BDNF in hippocampus had been also measured.Results Two weeks after the intervention,the immobility time of vanillin group((12.78 ±7.50) s) was lower than that of the model group((57.33±32.16) s) (P＜0.05).The consumption of saccharose in vanillin group((52.88±25.18)g) was higher than that of model group((37.40±19.33) g) (P＜0.05).BDNF of the brain homogenate in vanillin group (0.54±0.13) was significantly increased compared with model group (0.36± 0.06) (P＜0.01).When compared with the OBX group (0.40±0.06),similar result was obtained.Immunohistochemistry and the average density of image analysis revealed that the expression of BNDF of hippocampal CA3 in vanillin group (0.40±0.03)was significantly increased compared with model group (0.25±0.04) and OBX group (0.28±0.03) (P＜0.01).Conclusion Vanillin inhalation significantly relieves depression-like behaviors in depression rats.The possible mechanism may increase hippocampal neurogenesis by raising brain derived neurotrophic factor in brain.

Objective By comparing clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty with high viscosity bone cement and percutaneous kyphoplasty with conventional low viscosity bone cement for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures,to explore the clinical value of treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with high viscosity bone cement.Methods In this prospective study,100 patients with one-level OVCF and older than 70 years were diagnosed and treated in our hospital from June 2014 to December 2015,which were randomly divided into 2 groups (50 patients in each),applied unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty with high viscosity bone cement and bilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty with conventional low viscosity bone cement,respectively.Collected data of basic clinical informations (including age,gender,body mass index,etc.),preoperative and postoperative visual analog scales (VAS),Oswestry disability questionnaire (ODI),operative time,intraoperative X-ray times,the amount of bone cement injection,leakage of bone cement,anterior vertebral height and kyphosis (Cobb angle) of preoperative and postoperative,and statistical analysis.Results There were significant improvement of both VAS and ODI scores of the postoperative 1 day,3 months and 12 months compared with preoperative,but there was no significant difference between two groups;The operative time,intraoperative fluoroscopy times,bone cement injection amount and intraoperative bone cement leakage of high viscosity bone cement PVP group were significantly less than those of low viscosity bone cement PKP group (P＜0.05);the anterior vertebral height and kyphosis improved,and there was a significant difference between preoperative and postoperative of low viscosity bone cement PKP group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The efficacies of unilateral PVP with high viscosity bone cement and bilateral PKP with conventional low viscosity bone cement for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are the same,which can relieve pain and improve function of life significantly.However,the high viscosity bone cement PVP is simpler surgical procedure,with shorter operative time,less intraoperative radiation,less bone cement leakage rate.The domestic bone cement injection device can significantly reduce the cost of surgery,it worth to be widely used for clinical application.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Interleukin-6 on cyclophosphamide-induced hematopoietic damnification. The doses of Interleukin-6 in 3 different regimens were hypodermally injected into dogs for 7 days respectively to establish the cyclophosphamide-induced hematopoietic damnification model. The effect of Interleukin-6 on the production of platelets and the amount of other cells in the dogs' bone marrow were determined on the 21st day. The results showed that Interleukin-6 significantly alleviated the reduction of platelet count and recovered the platelets level faster. The impedance effects of Interleukin-6 directed against hematopoietic damnification of bone marrow and spleen were shown by pathological examination. These suggest that the Interleukin-6 can significantly impede cyclophosphamide-induced hematopoietic damnification.
