Objective To compare and to assess the treatment of interchanteric fractures and subtrochanteric fractures by proximal femoral nail(PFN) and dynamic hip screw(DHS). Methods The patients with intertrochanteric or subtrochanteric fractures were divided into PFN and DHS group randomly. The common conditions, ASA score, operative procedures and postoperative conditions were evaluated. Results During the course of operation, the mean operation time was 62.8 min in DHS group, 45.4 min in PFN group. The mean bleeding was 230 ml in DHS group, 164 ml in PFN group. The mean length of incision was 13.7 cm in DHS group, 8.7 cm in PFN group. The mean drainage was 120 ml in DHS group, 106 ml in PFN group, there was no significant difference between two groups. 84 (94.4%) patients of DHS group were followed-up 12-25 months with a mean of 18.6 months. 74(94.9%)patients of PFN group were followed-up 12-21 months with a mean of 18.2 months. In DHS group, the average fracture healing time was 4.6 months, 2 patients with deep hematoma, the reduction was unsatisfactory in 6 patients, while in PFN group, the average fracture healing time was 4.3 months, deep hematoma occurred in 1 patient, the reduction was unsatisfactory in 5 patients, but there was no significant difference between two groups. The leg length measured at 12 months post-operatively revealed that the diseased site in DHS group was averagely 1.4 cm shorter than the healthy site; that the diseased site in PFN group was averagely 0.8 cm shorter than the healthy site. Conclusion There is no significant difference between two operative methods concerning to bony healing time, complications and recovery of the function. PFN is less invasive, easier to perform and with shorter operation time.

ObjectiveTo review the clinical features,management and prognosis of renal Ewing's sarcoma (ES) of a single case report.MethodsA single case of renal ES was reported.A 33-year-old male presented with a mass in the left kidney found during a three day medical examination.B-ultrasound examination showed a lesion with rich blood flow signals and well defined margins in the inferior portion of the left kidney.The CT scan revealed a solid mass of 5.1 cm × 4.7 cm in the inferior portion of the kidney with un-even enhancement by contrast.A possible diagnosis of renal carcinoma was given prior to surgery.No metastasis was proven.A literature review of ES was then conducted.ResultsA left retroperitoneoscopic radical nephrectomy was successfully performed.Gross pathologic examination showed a solid tumor with necrosis,localized at the inferior pole of the left kidney.The histopathological examination revealed the tumor consisted of small round tumor cells,which were positive for CD99,vimentin and PAS,but negative for WT-1.A diagnosis of ES of the kidney was then determined.The patient received alternating short cycle ( CTX + VCR + THP) and long cycle ( IFO + VP-16) adjuvant chemotherapy for 6 cycles after the operation.There has been no evidence of recurrence at the 14-month follow up.ConclusionsES of the kidney is a rare disease with no specific clinical feature in most cases.Diagnosis of renal ES must be confirmed with histological features.Surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the main method of therapy for renal ES.The prognosis of renal ES is poor.

Objective To explore the prenatal indications and pregnant outcome of balanced transloca-tion at amniocentesis, so as to provide scientific guidelines of prenatal diagnosis for local pregnant women. Methods Retrospective review was made on 76 cases of balanced translocation at amniocentesis from 2011 to 2015 at our hospital. Results In 76 cases, 38 cases were aged pregnancy prenatally, 20 cases carriers, 9 cas-es abnormal serum screening , 5 cases with previous abnormal births , 2 cases with abnormal ultrasound findings and 2 cases with other problems. Conclusion Balanced translocation concomitant aneuploidy , de novo X-auto-some translocation or de novo complex chromosome rearrangements can cause fetal abnormalities on prenatal di-agnosis. The results of ultrasound, FISH and array-CGH could provide for de novo simple translocation at amnio-centesis.

Based on the physical characteristic of ultrasound, the images of body tissues can be obtained through ultrasonic medical technology, which is another flourishing cross-linked branch of BME after X ray technology. Being non-invasive, painless and reusable, ultrasonic medical technology is suitable for the examination and treatment of the soft tissue. This paper introduces such of ultrasonic technology as its basic principle, developing prospect and application to clinical medicine.

In the field of medical engineering, ultrasonic Doppler technology develops rapidly and gains wide application. MICS-51 is one of the main series of MCU family and has been widely used in China. In this paper, the ultrasound Doppler error detection equipment based on MCS-51 is introduced.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the diagnostic value of joint detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis rifampicin resistance gene (Xpert MTB/RIF), Mycobacterium tuberculosis ribonucleic acid (TB-RNA) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis deoxyribonucleic acid (TB-DNA) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods A total of 806 patients with suspected smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis admitted to our hospital from May 2020 to July 2022 were selected, 506 patients diagnosed as bacterial negative pulmonary tuberculosis by clinical, X-ray and sputum samples were classified as bacterial negative pulmonary tuberculosis group, and the other 300 patients with non-tuberculous pulmonary disease were classified as non-tuberculous pulmonary disease group. XpertMTB/RIF, TB-RNA and TB-DNA in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of all patients were detected. With clinical, X-ray and sputum specimen examination of mycobacterium tuberculosis as the gold standard, the diagnostic efficacy of alveolar lavage solution Xpert MTB/RIF, TB-RNA and TB-DNA alone and in combination was analyzed. Results The positive detection rates of Xpert MTB/RIF, TB-RNA and TB-DNA in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis group and the non-tuberculosis pulmonary disease group were 69.96% (354/506) and 2.67% (8/300), 61.46% (311/506) and 5.00% (15/300), and 63.64% (322/506) and 8.00% (24/300), respectively. The rates in the smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis group were higher than those in the non-tuberculosis lung disease group, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=342.005, 246.930, 235.687, P<0.01). Compared with the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of Xpert MTB/RIF in the diagnosis of smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis were 69.96%, 97.33%, 80.15%, 97.79% and 65.77%, respectively; those values of TB-RNA were 61.46%, 95.00%, 73.95%, 95.40% and 59.38%, respectively; those values of TB-DNA were 63.64%, 92.00%, 74.19%, 93.06% and 60.00%, respectively; those values of combined diagnosis with Xpert MTB/RIF, TB-RNA and TB-DNA were 61.26%, 100.00%, 75.68%, 100.00% and 60.48%, respectively; the specificity and positive predictive value of combined detection were higher than those of single detection (P<0.05). Conclusions The joint detection of Xpert MTB/RIF, TB-RNA and TB-DNA in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid can improve the diagnostic efficacy of smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
