In the experimental group,6 rats were killed by electricity,and in the control group,6 rats were killed by breaking the rats' neck. Myocardium sections were then made and were stained by SABC immunohistochemical method as well as HE.Results The expression of the fibronectins in the experimental rats' myocardia were significantly increased as compared with those in the control rats (P

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of minitype vascularized superficial peroneal artery's singleness perforator flap,and then to accurately repair skin and soft tissue defects of hands and foots. MethodsFrom November 2009 to January 2011,eight cases(one case of left foot,one case of right foot,three cases of left hand and 3 cases of right band,1.3 cm × 5.0 cm - 2.5 cm× 6.0 cm of skin and soft tissue defects)were treated by minitype vascularized superficial peroneal artery's singleness perforator flap.Based on preoperative applied anatomy papers, it was the superficial peroneal artery's perforator position in the middle of the lateral lower leg to the fibula head;We designed the flap based on the size and shape of skin defect,and then to analysize the flap design,lap cut,he vascular anastomosis of flap and recipient,effect and characteristics of survival. ResultsAll the flaps(1.5 cm × 5.2 cm-2.8 cm × 6.2 cm) survived and satified in shape and texture, they acquired good functional recovery postoperation;There was blister,dark purple but survival after the scab off on 1 patient;There was phalanx ostomyelitis and healed after treatment on 1 patient.ConclusionThe clinical effects were satisfactory for repairing small skin and soft tissue defect of hands and foots by minitype vascularized superficial artery's singleness perforator flap.

Objective To observe the effect of dual-task interference on postural sway and hand flexibility of patients with early Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods Twenty-tree patients with early PD and twcnty-three healthy,sex-and age-matched control subjects were examined.Postural sway was measured with an accelerometer at the centre of mass at the lower spine.Two parameters of postural sway were computed from the acceleration signals including root mean square acceleration (RMS) and jerkiness of sway (JERK).Purdue pegboard test,single-task tests and dual-task test were performed respectively to record the numbers of nails inserted with left hand,right hand and both hands within 30 seconds.Results In the usual conditions,no significant differences of postural sway parameters were found between the control group and PD group in eye open and eye closed condition.In dualtask condition,PD patients showed an increase of RMS values (eye open conditions:PD group (0.156±0.112) m/s2,control group (0.086±0.026) m/s2;eye closed conditions:PD group (0.204±0.162)m/s2,control group (0.095±0.023)m/s2) of sway acceleration,compared with control subjects (P＜0.01).These differences reached significance during cognitive task performance in eye open and eye closed with dual task.PD patients showed larger JERK values with increasing difficulty of the sway task which also reached significance during cognitive task performance(P＜0.05).The number of pegs inserted within 30 s in patients with PD (17.33±4.87)was significantly lower than that in controls (20.77±4.13) (P＜0.05).Conclusion The hand flexibility of patients with early PD obviously decrease.The balance of patients with early PD may deteriorate when their attention is diverted or reduced because of attempting to perform cognitive tasks.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum anticardiolipin antibody-immune globulin G (ACA-IgG),interleukin-10 (IL-10 ),IL-17 levels and intracranial large-artery atherosclerotic stenosis in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods From March 2014 to March 2015,a total of 176 consecutive patients with the first-ever ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology,Liaocheng People′s Hospital,Shandong Province,China,and performed DSA were enrolled prospectively. Seven of the patients with cardiogenic embolism,5 with moyamoya disease,8 with arteritis,2 with artery dissection,9 with autoimmune diseases or acute and chronic inflammation were excluded,21 with extracranial arterial stenosis were not enrolled,and finally 124 were enrolled in the study. According to the findings of DSA,the degrees of intracranial large artery stenosis were divided into a stenosis-free group (n = 34),a mild-stenosis group (n = 30),a moderate-stenosis group (n = 32),and a severe-stenosis group (n = 28). The differences of serum ACA-IgG,IL-10,IL-17 levels and baseline factors of the 4 groups were compared,and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze several factors that affected intracranial large-artery stenosis. Results There were no significant differences in sex,age,alcohol consumption rate,smoking rate,and incidence of hyperlipidemia among the 4 groups of patients (all P >0. 05). Compared with the stenosis-free group,there were significant differences in the incidences of hypertension and diabetes among the mild-stenosis,moderate-stenosis and severe-stenosis groups (the incidence of hypertension,80. 0% [n = 24],93. 8% [n = 30],89. 3% [n = 25]vs. 55. 9% [19 cases];χ2 = 8. 271,8. 920,and 10. 877,respectively;P = 0. 038,0. 032,and 0. 014,respectively). The incidences of diabetes were 33. 3% (n = 10),43. 8% (n = 14),60. 7% (n = 17)vs. 8. 8% (n = 3),(χ2 = 7. 960, 8. 733,and 9. 285,respectively;P = 0. 043,0. 035,and 0. 027,respectively). Incidence of diabetes of the severe-stenosis group was higher than that of the mild-stenosis group (χ2 = 9. 348,P = 0. 025). There were no significant differences in the incidences of hypertension and diabetes among other groups (all P >0. 05). There were significant differences in ACA-IgG levels (23 ± 5,39 ± 8,51 ± 9,and 65 ± 10 kU/ L);IL-10 levels (108 ± 33,85 ± 25,77 ± 21,and 62 ± 19 ng/ L),and IL-17 levels (38 ± 10,58 ± 22,63 ± 31, and 75 ± 26 ng/ L)among the stenosis-free,mild,moderate and severe-stenosis groups (F = 17. 754,9. 827, and 12. 656;respectively;all P < 0. 01). Compared with the stenosis-free group,the ACA-IgG and IL-17 levels of the patients in the mild,morderate,and severe stenosis groups increased significantly (ACA-IgG level:t =2. 307,2. 559,and 3. 374,respectively;P = 0. 026,0. 014,and 0. 001,respectively,the IL-17 levels:t =2. 183,2. 549 and 3. 159,respectively;P = 0. 037,0. 013,and 0. 002,respectively),while the IL-10 level decreased significantly. There were significant differences among the groups (t = 2. 036,2. 351,and 2. 762, respectively;P = 0. 042,0. 023,and 0. 006,respectively). Compared with the mild-stenosis group,the ACA-IgG and IL-17 levels of the severe stenosis group increased significantly (t = 3. 154 and 2. 976 respectively;P = 0. 002 and 0. 004 respectively). There were no significant differences among the pairwise comparisons of other groups (P >0. 05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension, diabetes,ACA-IgG level,and IL-17 level were the risk factors for intracranial large-artery stenosis (OR, 3. 043,95% CI 1. 606 -5. 875,P = 0. 003;OR,2. 912,95% CI 1. 513 -5. 824,P < 0. 01;OR,1. 837,95% CI 2. 057-3. 416,P = 0. 037;OR,1. 453,95% CI 1. 346 -2. 721,P = 0. 014). Conclusion ACA-IgG and IL-17 may play an important role in the occurrence and development processes of intracranial large-artery atherosclerotic stenosis.

Objective To evaluate the advantages of reconstructing by mimics software before operation a three-dimensional model of talar posterior process fracture which is to be used in the treatment of talar posterior process fracture through the posteromedial malleolar approach.Methods From May 2015 to February 2019,7 patients with talar posterior process fracture were treated at Department of Orthopaedic Trauma,Jishuitan Hospital.They were 5 men and 2 women,aged from 20 to 70 years (mean,39 years).They underwent routine CT examination preoperatively.Their posterior process of talus was reconstructed by Mimics software based on their CT scanning data before operation to determine the size,number and displacement of fracture fragments.Their fractures of posterior process of talus were treated by open reduction and screw fixation in prone position through the posterior ankle approach.The American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scoring system was used to evaluate functional recovery.Results The operation time for this group ranged from 70 min to 105 min,averaging 87.1 min.Early after operation,the wounds healed well with no injury to nerves or tendons.All patients were followed up for 4 to 24 months (average,12 months).Follow-up by X-ray examination after 10 to 16 weeks revealed fracture union with no complications like screw breakage,nonunion,malunion or traumatic arthritis.Their AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores at the final follow-up ranged from 80 to 98 points.Conclusion Preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction of talar posterior process fracture based on CT images using Mimics software can accurately determine the entry point and direction of screw insertion,yielding advantages of clear exposure,easy reduction and convenient screwing in the treatment of talar posterior process fracture through the posteromedial malleolar approach.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of bridging therapy (BT) and direct endovascular therapy (DEVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke induced by large vessel occlusion (LVO-AIS) within 4.5 h of onset.Methods:The clinical data of 154 patients with LVO-AIS within 4.5 h of onset, admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to July 2019, were retrospectively collected. Among them, 88 patients were hospitalized within 3 h of onset (54 accepted BT and 34 accepted DEVT); 66 patients were hospitalized within 3-4.5 h of onset (39 accepted BT and 27 accepted DEVT). The differences in clinical data and treatment efficacy between patients from the BT group and DEVT group that were hospitalized within 3 h of onset and within 3-4.5 h of onset, respectively, were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent protective factors for favorable outcome 90 d after treatment in patients within 3.0-4.5 h of onset and within 3 h of onset, respectively.Results:(1) In patients within 3 h of onset: as compared with the DEVT group, the BT group had significantly higher improvement rate of neurological function at 24 h after treatment (41.2% vs. 70.4%) and higher percentage of patients enjoying favorable outcome 90 d after treatment (44.1% vs. 66.7%, P<0.05); multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that BT was an independent protective factor for favorable outcome 90 d after treatment in patients within 3 h of onset ( OR=4.644, 95%CI: 1.238-12.805, P=0.041). (2) In patients within 3-4.5 h of onset: as compared with the BT group, the DEVT group had significantly higher proportion of patients having time from onset to groin puncture≤4 h, and significantly higher proportion of patients with favorable outcome 90 d after treatment ( P<0.05); multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the time from onset to groin puncture≤4 h was an independent protective factor for favorable outcome 90 d after treatment in patients within 3-4.5 h of onset ( OR=5.724, 95%CI: 1.192-11.676, P=0.024). Conclusion:For LVO-AIS patients, BT is the first choice in patients hospitalized in the early time window; and BT should be performed within 4 h of onset to the greatest extent for patients hospitalized in the late time window; if time from onset to groin puncture is not within 4 h, DEVT should be the first choice.

Objective:To summarize the patient profiles and therapeutic efficacies of ABO-incompatible living-related kidney transplantations at 19 domestic transplant centers and provide rationales for clinical application of ABOi-KT.Methods:Clinical cases of ABO-incompatible/compatible kidney transplantation (ABOi-KT/ABOc-KT) from December 2006 to December 2009 were collected. Then, statistical analyses were conducted from the aspects of tissue matching, perioperative managements, complications and survival rates of renal allograft or recipients.Results:Clinical data of 342 ABOi-KT and 779 ABOc-KT indicated that (1) no inter-group differences existed in age, body mass index (BMI), donor-recipient relationship or waiting time of pre-operative dialysis; (2) ABO blood type: blood type O recipients had the longest waiting list and transplantations from blood type A to blood type O accounted for the largest proportion; (3) HLA matching: no statistical significance existed in mismatch rate or positive rate of PRA I/II between two types of surgery; (4) CD20 should be properly used on the basis of different phrases; (5) hemorrhage was a common complication during an early postoperative period and microthrombosis appeared later; (6) no difference existed in postoperative incidence of complications or survival rate of renal allograft and recipients at 1/3/5/10 years between ABOi-KT and ABOc-KT. The acute rejection rate and serum creatinine levels of ABOi-KT recipients were comparable to those of ABOc-KT recipients within 1 year.Conclusions:ABOi-KT is both safe and effective so that it may be applied at all transplant centers as needed.
