Objective To investigate the effects of respiratory training on motor function in patients with acute stroke. Methods From 2012 to 2014, 80 patients with acute stroke were randomly assigned into treatment group and control group equally. The control group re-ceived routine rehabilitation training, while the treatment group received respiratory training in addition. All the patients were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Bathel Index (MBI) before and eight weeks after treatment. Results The scores of FMA and MBI improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (t>3.938, P<0.001) after treatment. Conclusion Respiratory training may promote the recovery of motor function in acute stroke patients.

Objective To compare the outcome of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA)and third generation of Gamma nail (TGN) in the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. Methods From January 2007 to June 2008, the patients with intertrochanteric fractures were divided into PFNA group ( n = 55 ) and TGN group ( n = 52 ) randomly. The two treatment groups were comparable in aspect of general data. The clinical data of surgical trauma, complications and postoperative function of the two groups were compared in our study. Results The mean operation time was (66.6 ± 15.4) min in PFNA group and (73. 1 ± 20.8 ) min in TGN group (P ＞ 0. 05 ). The mean intraoperative blood loss differed significantly, (219.5 ± 107.5 ) ml in PFNA group compared with (269.0 ±123.9) ml in TGN group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). The mean fluoroscopy time was ( 2.97 ± 1.14 ) min in PFNA group and (3.43 ± 1.18) min in TGN group (P＜0.05). Unilateral femoral shaft splits at the distal end of the nail was observed intra-operatively in four patients of the PFNA group and in one of the TGN group,with no statistical difference between two groups. Of all, 91 patients ( n =46 in the PFNA group and n =45 in the TGN group) were followed up for a duration of ( 17.5 ±3.69) months. There was one re-fracture and one implant failure during the follow up period in PFNA group, which was not found in TGN group. Fiftyone patients recovered to normal activity status, including 27 in the PFNA group and 24 in the TGN group,with no statistical differences. Conclusions Intertrochanteric fracture can be treated successfully with PFNA and TGN. There is no significant difference in complications and functional outcome between the two groups. However, PFNA takes advantages of less blood loss, less operative time and less fluoroscopy time over TGN.

BACKGROUND:There are a variety of surgical approaches for minimally invasive total hip replacement,such as anterolateral,posterolateral and two-incision.However,it is unknown which one is more in line with the concept of minimally invasive and easy to carry out.OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical application effect of total hip replacement using anterlateral modified Watson-Jones approach.METHODS:From January 2005 to December 2006,35 patients were performed total hip replacement with the new anterlateral approach at the Department of Orthopaedics,the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University,including 16 males and 19 females,aged 52-78 years,mean aged 65.9 years;the average body mass index was 24.4 kg/m~2 (19.3-30.1 kg/m~2).The length of incision,operative duration,transfusion,complications,postoperative movement,postoperative hospital stay,prosthesis position and Harris score after operation were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The patients were followed up 6-24 months,with an average of 17.3 months.The average length of incision was 8.3 cm (7-12 cm).The mean operative duration was 92.1 minutes (70-120 minutes).The average blood transfusion was 300 mL (0-800 mL).All the patients were practice their limb muscles immediately after the operation and they were activity the day after operation under the guidance of doctor.The average postoperative hospital stay was 7.9 days (5-15days).Eleven hip pains occurred at 3 months,9 cases at 6 months and 5 cases at 12 months,the Harris scores were (79.5±4.4)points,(84.0±3.6) points,and (85.4±3.0) points,respectively.No infection,dislocation,vessel or nerve injury happened.From the follow up,all of the patients had good prosthesis position and rang of hip motion.The results revealed that the new anterolateral approach is minimally invasive total hip replacement,and the patients can recover faster via some proper exercise.

Objective To explore the rationality of correcting urinary iodine (UI) concentration by using urine specific gravity (U-SG).Methods Weighing method and refractometer method were used respectively to measure specific gravity of 10-30 g/L mass concentration of different inorganic salts (sodium chloride,sodium sulfate,ammonium biphosphate) and organic matters(urea,glucose,glycine) aqueous solution,and urine plus 10-30 g/L sodium chloride or urea.UI concentrations in urine samples of 27 pregnant women respectively were expressed by direct method,weighing method U-SG correction and refractometer method U-SG correction.One random urine sample was collected for six batches in different seasons from children aged 8-10 and pregnant women for determination of U-SG and UI concentration.UI concentration was determined by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry (WS/T 107-2006).Results ①Measured by weighing method,specific gravity of inorganic salt (sodium chloride,sodium sulfate,ammonium biphosphate) aqueous solution was significantly greater than that of organic matters (urea,glucose,glycine) aqueous solution which had the same mass concentration.The specific gravity of 10 g/L sodium chloride aqueous solution was 1.008,and that of 30 g/L urea solution was 1.006.②Measured by weighing method,10 g/L sodium chloride was added to 3 urine samples separately.Accordingly the increases of USG were 0.006,0.008 and 0.007,respectively.Otherwise,the increases of U-SG were 0.003,0.002 and 0.004,respectively,when adding 10 g/L urea.~he median results of UI concentrations in urine samples from 27 pregnant women were 106.4,165.2 and 211.8 μg/L,respectively,expressing obtained by direct method,weighing method USG correction and refractometer method U-SG correction.④The determination results of six batches urine collected from children aged 8-10 in different seasons,the median results of U-SG measured by refractometer method were 1.019 0-1.021 2,the median UI concentration results obtained by direct method and refractometer method U-SG correction were 134.5-181.7 μg/L and 157.7-190.4 μg/L.The determination results of six batches urine samples of pregnant women in different seasons,the median results of U-SG measured by refractometer method were 1.013 4 -1.017 1,the median UI concentration results obtained by direct method and refractometer method U-SG correction were 96.2-138.9 μg/L and 135.2-181.6 μg/L.Conclusions The change of sodium chloride concentration in urine is the most important reason for the change of U-SG.In China,the main source of UI is the intake of edible iodized salt.Iodized salt intakes directly affect the U-SG and UI concentration.If the U-SG is used to correct the UI concentration,there will be a phenomena that the lower intake of iodized salt the lower U-SG.So the UI concentration was falsely increased significantly after correction.Conversely higher intakes of iodized salt caused higher U-SG.The UI concentration was falsely reduced significantly after correction.Therefore,U-SG cannot be used to correct the UI concentration.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of incision infection and spinal canal hematoma after lumbar spinal posterior surgery.Methods Data of 33 patients with incision infection and 25 patients with spinal canal hematoma after posterior surgery for lumbar spinal disease from January 2010 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.For the patients with incision infection,20 of them were males and 13 were females,with an average age of 58.85±8.76 years (range 38-79 years).Of these patients,5 were diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation,9 with lumbar spondylolisthesis,15 with lumbar spinal stenosis and 4 with lumbar vertebral fracture.For patients with spinal canal hematoma,17 of them were males and 8 were females,with a mean age of 60.96±11.37 (range,38-77).The diagnoses of them were lumbar disc herniation in 18 patients,spondylolisthesis in 3 patients and spinal stenosis in 4 patients.From the same period database,patients who underwent lumbar posterior lumbar surgery with no postoperative complications were selected by 3:1 ratio as the control group according to age,gender and diagnosis.Results For patients with incision infection,it was found that diabetes mellitus,preoperative RBC,hemoglobin,total protein,albumin,serum calcium,operation time,number of segment fusion,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative WBC,RBC,hemoglobin and platelet were significantly different from those with non-infection group.Moreover,multivariate logistic analysis showed that diabetes mellitus (OR=3.716,P=0.032),preoperative serum calcium (OR＜ 0.001,P=0.001),intraoperative blood loss (OR=1.002,P=0.014),postoperative hemoglobin (OR=0.923,P=0.018) and postoperative platelet (OR=1.007,P=0.017) were independent risk factors for postoperative incision infection.For patients with spinal canal hematoma,it was found that patients' preoperative total protein,albumin,serum calcium,platelet,operation time,intraoperative blood loss and postoperative total protein were significantly different from non-hematoma group.Multivariate logistic analysis showed that preoperative serum calcium (OR＜ 0.001,P=0.001),preoperative total protein (OR=1.298,P=0.043),intraoperative blood loss (OR=1.003,P=0.021) and postoperative total protein (OR=1.080,P=0.028) were independent risk factors for postoperative spinal canal hematoma.Conclusion The preoperative diabetes mellitus,serum calcium,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative hemoglobin and platelet were important risk factors for lumbar incision infection.And preoperative serum calcium,total protein,intraoperative blood loss and postoperative total protein were the risk factors for spinal canal hematoma.

Objective　To explore the characteristics of toxic heavy metal pollution in atmospheric PM2.5 (Particulate matter 2.5) during winter in Nanning City and to evaluate the health risks for the population. Methods　Atmospheric PM2.5 samples were continuously collected in the urban areas of Nanning from January to February 2019. The concentrations of seven toxic heavy metals, including cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), mercury (Hg), and manganese (Mn) in atmospheric PM2.5 were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The pollution characteristics of toxic heavy metals were studied by geo-accumulation index and enrichment factor methods, and their health risks to children and adults were assessed using the health risk assessment model of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Results　The mass concentration of atmospheric PM2.5 in Nanning in winter 2019 was (44±29) μg/m3, which was generally at a low level. Different degrees of pollution were found for Hg, Cd, As, Cr, and Pb in PM2.5, with Hg and Cd being more seriously polluted. Hg and Cd were highly enriched in PM2.5, followed by Pb with moderate enrichment. These three elements mainly originated from man-made pollution. As, Cr and Ni were mildly enriched and affected by both natural and anthropogenic sources. The non-carcinogenic risks were in the order of As>Pb>Hg>Cr>Cd>Mn>Ni. The total non-carcinogenic risks for the three populations were all less than 1, which is within acceptable limits. The carcinogenic risks were ranked as Cr>As>Cd>Ni, with Cr, As, and Cd posing carcinogenic risks to children and adults ranging from 1×10-6 to 1×10-4. Moreover, the total carcinogenic risks of heavy metals (Cr, As, Cd, and Ni) were higher than 1×10-4 for children, indicating a potential carcinogenic risk. Conclusions　The mass concentration of PM2.5 and heavy metal elements in Nanning City during the winter of 2019 was relatively low, but the pollution of heavy metals still exists. The non-carcinogenic risk of heavy metals is within an acceptable range, but the carcinogenic risk poses a potential danger to children.
