Objective To explore the clinical outcome of self-designed bilateral external fixator combined with limited internal fixation for the treatment of open fracture of tibial plateau.Methods From February 2001 to September 2005,23 cases of open tibial plateau fractures were treated with bilateral external fixator combined with limited internal fixation.According to Schatzker classification,there were 35 patients with type Ⅴ fracture and 18 patients with type Ⅵ fracture.According to Gustilo classification,there were type Ⅰ in 15 eases,type Ⅱ in 22 cases, type Ⅲ in 16 cases.Results The follow-up period was 5 to 22 months(mean 10 months).All the fractures got unit- ed.According to Merchant grade,18 eases were evaluated as excellent,25 as good,9 as fair.The rate of excellent and good resuhs was 83 %.Conclusion Operation by using bilateral fixator combined with limited internal fixator can make fixation stable and reduce complication.It is an effective method to treat complex fractures of open tibial plateau.

Objective From the observation of pulmonary function changes in SARS patients during the convalescent period, we aimed to understand if there would be long-term pulmonary function lesions.Methods Pulmonary function tests were performed in 82 SARS patients 3 months after their discharge from hospital (study group) and the abnormal ones were performed pulmonary function tests 6 months after their discharge. The pulmonary function of 28 healthy persons were tesed(control group).Results Pulmonary function tests showed that the mean diffusing capacity of CO(DLCO) was (78.4?17.4)% in study group and (93.8?13.6)% in control group(P35%) in 28 and 11 cases,restrictive defect in 9 and 5 cases.According to the involved areas in chest X-ray during the hospital,the study group were divided into three subgroups:mild,moderate and severe.There was a positive relation between the severity of the disease and the diffusing function lesions 3 months after discharge from hospital.There was no obvious difference in the pulmonary function lesions between the severe patients treated with mechanical ventilation and those not.Conclusion Some of SARS patients have left pulmonary function lesions 3 months and 6 months after their discharge from hospital,which mainly are diffusing capacity abnormality.A few cases have small airway obstruction,residual volume increase and restrictive defect.

OBJECTIVETo promote development and utilization of Ophiocordyceps gracilis in xinjiang and provide basic data for researching and sustainable developing medicine fungus related to O. gracilis.

METHODA white strain SFYT002 isolated from the sclerotium of O. gracilis in Xinjiang was researched by morphological observation, ITS and 18SrDNA sequencing. The ITS and 18SrDNA sequences of the strain were determined, BLAST was compared with the other sequences of Tolypocladium in GenBank. The phylogenetic trees of ITS and 18SrDNA sequences were analyzed in Tolypocladium. In addition, the filter paper method was used to study the antibacterial effects.

RESULTThe main morphological characters of this strain were white cotton-like colonies, phialide with inflated base, drastically sharping with partially bending tips, small and transparent budding spores with being always assemble to spearhead and globular, subglobular or ellipse conidiospores. The phylogenetic trees of ITS and 18SrDNA sequences were constructed and analyzed in Tolypocladium. It was resulted that Tolypocladium was confirmed to be monophyletic, and the strain SFYT002 was the same as the systematic position of others of T. inflatum. Meanwhile, the antibacterial test was performed against the 4 common pathogenic bacteria. It was showed that both fermentation and its extracts of different polar from this strain possessed good anti-bacteria capacities.

CONCLUSIONThe strain SFYT02 was identified as T. inflatum, and inhibited effectively growth of bacteria.

Twenty five patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) were classified as mild, moderate and severe grade according to apnea hyponea index and lowest oxyhemoglobin saturation.Lower limbs were examined with ultrasonography, blood routine and D-dimer levels were measured in all patients.The results revealed an increased incidence of deep vein thrombosis with the extent of obstructive sleep apnea.There was no deep vein thrombosis in patients with mild-grade OSAHS, while there were 2 in moderate and 3 in severe patients.The blood D-dimer levels were (498 ± 22) pg/L, (659 ±43 ) μg/L, ( 1528 ± 181 ) μg/L in mild, moderate and severe patients, respectively.The hemoglobin levels were (150 ± 8) g/L, ( 183 ± 15) g/L and (261 ± 26) g/L in mild, moderate and severe patients,respectively.There may be some association of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome with deep vein thrombosis.

Objective To explore the effect of laparoscopic bile duct exploration,balloon dilation,and catheter drainage in the treatment of postoperative recurrent choledocholithiasis.Method The data of 61 patients with postoperative recurrent bile duct stones from August 1999 to August 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients received laparoscopic bile duct exploration (LCDE),laparoscopic papillary balloon dilation (LPBD),and laparoscopic papillary balloon dilation endoprosthesis (LPBDE).ResultSatisfactory outcome was achieved in all the 61 patients.Among the 61 patients,20 patients received LPBD and primary suturing,36 patients received LPBDE and primary suturing,and 5 patients received LPBDE and T-tube drainage.There was no residual stone.There was no perioperative mortality or serious complications including biliary leak and hemobilia.On follow up for 1 to 9.5 years in 56 patients,there was no recurrent choledocholithiasis.ConclusionThe procedures were feasible and safe,and they prevent recurrence of choledocholithiasis.

Objective To explore the feature of electrical physiology and the key aspect of diagnosis in early stage of spinal muscular atrophy in infants.Method The back clinical data of the musle change of electrical physiology within 25 cases were analyzed.Results The children were ill in 1 year old,with the symptom that four limbs present symmetry and paralysing slowly,low limbs being more serious than upper limbs,the close and the distant of the four limbs.The levels of creatine kinase(CK) and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) in serum were normal and the case unconcentrated was not seen rarely.The show of electromyogram(EMG) was that three limbs presenting wide-range losing nerve electric potential in peace state,when straingently the deadline was long and the motor unit potential(MUP) was high,when strain highly the eletric potential was decreased;the speed of nerve conduction was common.Muscle inspection was typical nervine myatrophy.Conclusion The clinical feature,the changes of muscle electrical physiology and the muscle inspection are valuable for diagnosis so as to afford reliable evidence for further gene diagnosis.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2006,21(3):167
