BACKGROUND:The effect of proximal femoral anti-rotation nail fixation in repair of intertrochanteric fracture is better than the other fixation materials. Unarmed inserting guided needle plays an important role for the quality of intertrochanteric fracture fixation. At present, there have been short of fast and accurate methods for inserting femoral canal guided needle from trochanter. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the operating skil s and application value of unarmed inserting guided needle in the process of proximal femoral anti-rotation nail Ⅱ fixation in repair of intertrochanteric fracture. METHODS:Standard operating procedures of guided needle inserting were established. The location of the guided needle was correct or was not judged through discriminating the feeling of inserting into the tip of femoral canal guided needle from trochanter. Slight resistance prompted that guided needle was in correct position. The guided needle closed to the medial femoral cortex and moved downward in the medul ary cavity. The guided needle was confirmed in the correct position by the perspective of C-arm in positive side position. This process was just one lateral perspective. Smoothly without resistance prompted that if the guided needle was out of the medul ary cavity, the direction of the inserting needle needed to be changed, without perspective. The resistance would be large if the needle tip piercing the medial femoral cortical bone, at this moment, the direction of the needle needed to be adjusted;or was blocked by malreduction of fracture or the free fracture block off the medul ary cavity;at this moment, fracture ends needed to be further restored. The surgery time, the time required to complete the guided needle inserting, the amount of bleeding, weight-bearing ambulation time and complications of 19 patients with intertrochanteric fracture treated by proximal femoral anti-rotation nail Ⅱ fixation were statistical y analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average completed time for internal fixation was 45 minutes, the average desired time for guided needle inserting was 80 seconds, the average blood loss was 100 mL. There was no wound infection, or pressure sore formation. The shimoji time was an average of six weeks after treatment. Al patients were fol owed up for 4-9 months. Three patients needed crutches to walk before treatment, and after three months of treatment, they returned to the pre-exercise levels of injury. These results suggest that the procedure of unarmed inserting the guided needle provides guidance for the quick and correct completion of needle inserting, so as to enhance the internal fixation quality of proximal femoral anti-rotation nail Ⅱ in repair of intertrochanteric fracture, with a high reliability. It can significantly reduce the number of perspective, shorten surgery time, reduce the amount of bleeding and reduce complications.

Objective To investigate clinical signifieances of serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and to analyze the relationships with international prognostic index (IPI). Methods Serum levels of VEGF were measured by ELISA in 26 cases with newly diagnosed DLBCL and 9 cases with relapsed DLBCL. The clinical data of 26 patients were collected. According to the IPI, 26 patients were divided into two group: low risk group (IPI<2) and moderate to high risk group (IPI≥2). Results Compared with the normal controls, newly diagnosed and relapsed DLBCL had significantly higher VEGF serum levels (P <0.01). In the patients responding to CHOP or RCHOP regimen a significantly decrease in VEGF serum levels occurred, while in the patients who did not achieve complete remission(CR) there was no significant decrease. Furthermore, pretreatment serum levels of VEGF were significantly lower in CR group than in partial remission (PR) and no remission (NR) group. In addition, serum levels of VEGF were significantly elevated in the high risk group than those at the low risk group(P<0.01). Conclusion The serum levels of angiogenic factor VEGF are related to the development and progression of DLBCL. The VEGF combined with IPI can be used for evaluating the prognosis of DLBCL.

Objective To test the reliability and validity of the brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) core sets for Chinese stroke patients using Rasch model analysis. Methods The body functions of 38 Chinese stroke patients were measured using the brief ICF core sets. The qualifiers of the 20items were measured by two raters and analyzed using FACETS statistical software. The intra-rater reliability and validity were tested by using the separation index and separation reliability and fit analysis. Results The brief ICF core sets had good internal consistency and reliability (person separation index = 6.02, person separation reliability = 0.94 ) with these Chinese patients. The raters showed significantly different strictness in rating, but their ratings had good internal self-consistency. The construct validity was good for the body functions of the ICF component ( separation index = 10.50, separation reliability = 0.80) , but misfitting and overfitting were found in items b117, b152and b755. Conclusion The body function of the brief ICF core sets has good reliability and validity for Chinese stroke patients. A many-facet Rasch measurement model can provide comprehensive information and has good application prospects for testing the reliability and validity of ICF core sets.
