Objective To observe the effect of dynamic articulars panning external fixation combined with limited internal fixation for distal radius comminuted fracture.Methods 100 comminuted distal radius fractures patients during September 2014 and September 2014 in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into control group and research group,50 cases in each group.Patients of the control group accepted conventional manual reduc-tion combined with plaster external fixation,patients of the research group accepted dynamic articulars panning exter-nal fixation combined with limited internal fixation treatment.Curative effect,the palm inclination angle and feet were compared between the two groups.Results (1)After surgical treatment and rehabilitation therapy,15 patients in the control group achieved optimal degree,28 cases in the research group achieved optimal degree(P =0.086);9 cases in the control group were the poor degree;only 2 patients in the research group were poor degree(P =0.025).Statistical analysis showed that two differences were statistically significant,(P <0.05).(2)After 3 months,the palmar tilt of patients in the control group was (6.5 ±2.2)°,while that of the research group was (8.5 ±2.5)°(t =4.25,P <0.000 1 );The average ulnar deviation of control group was (12.3 ±4.3)°,and that of the research group was (15.6 ±6.6)°(t =2.96,P =0.003 8).In a word,the average palmar tilt and ulnar deviation of the research group were greater than those in the control group,the difference showed statistically significant.6 months later,the average palmar tilt of the control group patients was (6.2 ±2.3)°,that of the research group was (8.8 ±2.5)°(t =5.41, P <0.000 1 );the ulnar deviation of the control group was (12.1 ±4.1 )°,and that of the research group was (16.3 ±4.4)°(t =4.93,P <0.000 1),the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion Dynamic articulars panning external fixation combined with limited internal fixation for the treatment of distal radius comminuted fracture effect is significant,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To survey the epidemiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among elderly people in two districts of Jiangsu province, China. Methods A total of 1404 residents aged 60 years or older in Huaian and Suzhou city in Jiangsu province were randomly recruited from the community population. All the people were screened for albuminuria (increased morning spot urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, UACR) and reduced renal function (decreased eGFR by simplified MDRD equation). Urinary creatinine and albumin, serum creatinine, uric acid, cholesterol,triglyceride, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and fasting blood (1.73 m2) -1] and/or albuminuria (UACR ≥30 mg/g). The associations between healthy characteristics and indicators of kidney damage were examined. Results A total of 1316 (93.7%) elderly people completed the study. The prevalence of CKD was 32.3% and the awareness rate was only 9.6%. Albuminuria and reduced renal function were found in 30.2% and 3.2% of subjects respectively. The Logistic regression model showed that age, gender, hypertension,hypercholesterinemia and hyperuricaemia were independently associated with CKD. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 140-159 mm Hg exhibited a lower adjusted OR value (0.675) for CKD, while SBP of 160-179 mm Hg and of at least 180 mm Hg exhibited higher adjusted OR values (1.330 and 1.146). Similarly, FBG of 5.6-6.9 mmol/L exhibited a lower adjusted OR value for CKD as compared to FBG of at least 7.0 mmol/L (0.628 vs 1.941). Conclusions The prevalence of CKD in elderly people of Jiangsu province is quite high. Age, gender, hypertension,hypercholesterinemia and hyperuricaemia are independent risk factors for the development of CKD.

Objective To explore the relationship of depth of trophoblastic invasion with trophoblast cell activity and serum β-hCG according to the expression of proliferation antigen Ki-67 which viewed as an indicator of cell proliferation activity.Methods Fallopian tube specimens collected from 108 patients who underwent operation treatment for fallopian tubal pregnancy in our hospital were investigated by light microscopic examination.They were divided into three groups according to the depth of trophoblastic infiltration: Ⅰ group (stage): trophoblastic invasion of tubal mucosa,Ⅱ group(stage): trophoblastic invasion of the muscularis,Ⅲ group(stage): trophoblast invasion of serosa layer(muscularis penetration).The expression of Ki-67 was detected by SP method and blood β-hCG was detected within 2 hours of preoperative.The level of β-hCG,the expression of Ki-67 and the depth of trophoblast invasion were analyzed.Results Mean level of serumβ-hCG in Group Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ were(1416.64 ± 859.94)U/L,(3380.33 ± 2392.36)U/L and(6999.33 ± 4949.90)U/L respectively.Positive expression rate of cell proliferation antigen Ki-67 in Group Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ were 21.95％,53.66％ and 6.40％ respectively.There were significant difference on the expression of Ki-67 between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ,group Ⅱ and Ⅲ group,group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ(x2 =3.94,4.07,4.35,respectively,P ＜ 0.05).The serumβ-hCG level also displayed statistics difference in the three groups(F =9.914,P ＜ 0.01).The positive expression of Ki-67 and serum β-hCG level were positively correlated with each other(r =0.678,P ＜ 0.05)Conclusion The high level of the serum β-hCG indicates high expression of Ki-67 and deeper trophoblast invasion of tubal wall.

The roles of voltage-dependent K(+) channels during activation and damage in alveolar macrophages (AMs) exposed to different silica particles were examined. Rat AMs were collected by means of bronchoalveolar lavage, and were adjusted to 5x10(5)/mL. After AMs were exposed to different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 mug/mL) of quartz particles and 100 mug/mL amorphous silica particles for 24 h, the voltage-depended K(+) current in AMs was measured by using patch clamp technique. Meanwhile the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the viability of AMs were detected respectively. Patch clamp studies demonstrated that AMs possessed outward delayed and inward rectifying K(+) current. Exposure to quartz particles increased the outward delayed K(+) current but it had no effect on inward rectifier K(+) current in AMs. Neither of the two K(+) channels in AMs was affected by amorphous silica particles. Cytotoxicity test showed that both silica particles could damage AM membrane and result in significant leakage of LDH (P<0.05). MTT studies, however, showed that only quartz particles reduced viability of AMs (P<0.05). It is concluded that quartz particles can activate the outward delayed K(+) channel in AMs, which may act as an activating signal in AMs to initiate an inflammatory response during damage and necrosis in AMs induced by exposure to quartz particle. K(+) channels do not contribute to the membrane damage of AMs.

Objective To establish a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with diode array detection to simultaneously determine carbamazepine,phenytoin,and phenobarbital in serum.Methods Extraction solvent (800μl ethylene acetate) and sample (0.2 ml) was mixed,extracted for 2 min,and centrifuged (3500 r/min,4 minutes).A volume (600 μl) of extract liquor was volatilized to dryness in water bath with the volatilization temperature 75 ℃,then was redissolved with 1.0 ml mobile phase.Analysis conditions was column temperature 30°,mobile phase (methanol∶ water =40∶60),and detection wavelength of 254 nm.Three metabolites were effectively separated.Results Under the optimized condition,calibration curves of three metabolites were linear in the ranges of (1.52 ～ 120 mg/L) and the correlation coefficients were not less than 0.999.The detection limits (S/N =3) were in the range of 0.4 ～ 1.5 mg/L.The spiked recoveries were in the range of 91.3％ ～ 111％ with relative standard deviations (RSD) less than 5％.Conclusions The optimal pretreatment condition for the sample was established.The chromatographic separation and the detection condition were optimized.The method was sensitive and accurate,and could meet the need of monitoring serum drug concentration.

There are actually no sufficient data for lifting technique assessment. A laboratory study was undertaken to determine the effect of 3 regular lifting techniques on erector muscle activation, cardiovascular strain and subjective response. Thirty student volunteers participated in the study, and were required to lift a weight with different techniques. Stoop-, squat-, semi-squat-lifting resulted in 3, 2 and 1 time of the highest percentage of the maximum voluntary electrical activation (MVE%) respectively. In the same order, the lowest median frequency (MF) existed 1, 1 and 2 times. Muscle fatigue was 4 times in squat, 36 in semi-squat and 43 in stoop lifting. Heart rate was the highest in squat and lowest in stoop respectively, with a middle level in semi-squat lifting. It may be recommended to adopt mainly the semi-squat technique for daily lifting works. For heavy lifting, it should use the squat technique. Stoop lifting may also be used alternatively but for light things.

BACKGROUND:Currently,the dura mater is clinically repaired using autologous tissue or materials such as gelatin sponge,but all of them have their inherent defects.Therefore,there is an urgent need for a biomaterial that can promote dural repair. OBJECTIVE:The two-sided anisotropic electrospun membrane was constructed by using directional electrospinning technology and collagen self-assembly technology,and was used as a carrier for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to investigate various physicochemical properties and biological characteristics of the artificial dura mater. METHODS:Ordered polylactic acid electrospun fibers with double-sided(collagen protein on one side and polylactic acid on the other side)anisotropic electrospun membranes(collagen group),disordered polylactic acid electrospun membranes(disordered fiber group),and ordered oriented polylactic acid electrospun membranes(ordered fiber group)were prepared by electrospinning technique as well as collagen self-assembly technique.Scanning electron microscopy,mechanical stretching,water contact angle testing,and degradation experiments were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the electrospun membranes.Electrospun membranes in the collagen group(bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were inoculated on the collagen surface to obtain the stem cell-engineered electrospun membranes),disordered fiber group and ordered fiber group were cocultured with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.The biocompatibility of electrospun membranes was evaluated using CCK-8 assay and live/dead staining.Integrin β1 immunofluorescence staining was used to evaluate the adhesion characteristics of electrospun membranes.The stem cell-engineered electrospun membrane and the electrospun membrane in the collagen group were cocultured with bone marrow macrophages respectively.Immunomodulatory properties were assessed by detecting the expression of inflammation-related genes using inducible nitric oxide synthase(M1 type),CD206(M2 type)immunofluorescence staining,and qRT-PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The oriented electrospun fiber membrane could mimic the structure of the longitudinally aligned natural dura mater,and the addition of collagen increased the hydrophilicity of the fiber membrane by about 2-fold and the mechanical properties by 1.2-fold.(2)When cocultured with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,CCK-8 assay and live/dead staining suggested that the cellular bioactivity in the collagen group was significantly higher than that in the disordered fiber group and ordered fiber group.Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the expression of integrin β1 in the collagen group was about 2.6 times higher than that of the disordered and ordered fiber groups,and the cell spreading morphology was good.(3)When cocultured with bone marrow macrophages,immunofluorescence staining exhibited that the fluorescence intensity of M1 type macrophages in the stem cell-engineered electrospun membrane group was lower than that in the collagen group(P<0.01),and the fluorescence intensity of M2 type macrophages was higher than that in the collagen group(P<0.01).qRT-PCR demonstrated that proinflammatory gene tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-1β mRNA expression in the stem cell-engineered electrospun membrane group was lower than that of the collagen group(P<0.001);anti-inflammatory genes such as interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor β mRNA expressions were higher than those in the collagen group(P<0.001).(4)The above results suggest that the stem cell-engineered amphipathic artificial dura mimics the directional structure of normal dura,with the inner surface facilitating cell growth and adhesion and the outer edge avoiding tissue adhesion,while the polarization of macrophages to the M2 subtype is promoted and the local inflammatory microenvironment is regulated through the mesenchymal stem cell paracrine component.
