Objective To investigate different surgical treatments for femoral intertrochateric fractures. To evaluate the results of treatment of intertrochateric fractures with PFNA. Methods 37 patients with femoral intertrochateric fracture were retrospectively reviewed,of which 12 patients were treated operatively with PFNA,25 patients were treated operatively with DHS. Therapeutic efficacy were compared and analyzed. Results All the patients were followed up for 5-18 months(an average of 11 months). All fractures healed in a mean of 3 months. According to Harris'standard of hip-joint fuction,the outcome was classified into excellent,good and poor. In 25 patients with DHS,the good clinical results was 21 cases. In 12 patients with PFNA, excellent and good clinical result was 11 cases. Conclusion PFNAintemal fixation was an effective method for treating the femoral intertrochateric fractures and better than that by DHS.

Objectives To understand the effect of intraperitoneal injection of naringenin,a SMAD3 inhibitor,on the skeletal muscle after acute contusion in a mouse model.Methods Seventy-two mice of 7-8 weeks old (20-24 g)were randomly divided into a control group,an acute contusion (B)group,an acute contusion+1%DMSO injection (C)group and an acute contusion+naringenin injection (D)group,each of 18.The acute contusion model was created by hitting the right tibialis anterior muscle in mice of all groups except the control group.Intraperitoneal injection of I%DMSO and naringenin were given to group C and D respectively every day until execution,while the 18 mice in the control group were fed without injury or injection.The time of injury was set as Day 0.After being fed for 28 days,all mice were executed and the right tibialis anterior was harvested.Western blotting was used to detect the difference of SMAD3,pSMAD3,Collagen Ⅰ,and α-SMA expression among the 3 groups.Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE)staining and Masson staining were used to detect the difference of pathological changes.Moreover,the appearance of fast twitch contraction and tetanic contraction were also documented to figure out the quality of the injured skeletal muscle.Results Compared with the control group,the SMAD3 and pSMAD3 level in injured skeletal muscle increased,but both were less in group D than group B and C.Similarly,the average level of Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA in all three injury groups was higher than the control group,but the level of these indexes were lower in group D than that in group B and C.HE staining showed more mesenchyme in injury groups than the control group.Masson staining found the upregulation of fibrosis in injured muscles,with the area of fibrosis in group D significantly lower than group B and C.Compared with control,the injured skeletal muscle had significantly poorer fast twitch and tetanic contraction performance,with the condition of group D significantly better than group B and C.Conculsion The naringenin,a SMAD3 inhibitor,mitigates the phosphorylation of SMAD3 after acute contusion in a mouse model.The fibrosis and scar formation was alleviated,hence improving the healing of the injured skeletal muscles.

Objective To investigate the myocardial protective effects of trimetazidine by observing the changes of peripheral B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP),cardiac troponin I (cTnI) level in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB), and the clinical significance of peripheral cTnI and BNP in cardiac surgery. Methods One hundred and three OPCAB patients were divided into trimetazidine group (52 cases) and control group (51 cases) by random digits table. The serum levels of BNP and cTnI preoperatively,postoperatively of 24 h, 72 h and 7 d were detected. Results The serum levels of BNP [(224.5 ± 12.0), (331.2 ±22.6), (82.4 ±3.3) ng/L] and cTnI [(0.21 ±0.04), (1.32 ±0.49), (0.26 ±0.04) μ g/L] in trimetazidine group were lower than those in control group [(294.7 ± 11.8 ), ( 383.9 ± 28.3 ),( 112.4 ± 12.5 ) ng/L and ( 1.20 ± 0. 13 ), (2.35 ± 0.54), (0.75 :± 0.21 ) μ g/L] postoperatively of 24 h, 72 h and 7 d (P< 0.05 ). The serum levels of BNP and cTnI increasedd at 24 h after operation. The peak level was found at 72 h and remained higher level until 7 d after operation. The baseline levels of BNP were positively correlated with cTnI (r = 0.635,P < 0.05), but negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (r =-0.674,P < 0.01 ). Conclusion Trimetazidine can obviously reduce serum levels of BNP and cTnI in patients undergoing OPCAB. So the united application of serum BNP and cTnI may be as a monitor marker to reflect the cardiac function in patients after OPCAB.

Objective To evaluate the application of preserved urethral plate urethroplasty to treat urethral fistula after hypospadias repair. Methods Two hundred and twenty-four cases with u-rethral fistula after hypospadias repair were treated by preserved urethral plate urethroplasty from 2001 to 2006.Follow-up data were reviewed and analyzed.All of these cases had big(>1 cm)ure-thral fistula.One hundred and two failed hypospadias cases were repaired by tubularized incised plateurethroplasty(Snodgrass).The patients were 2-16 years old and mean age was 3.7 years old.In thesame time period,86 failed hypospadias cases were repaired by Duplay urethroplasty.The children were 2-14 years old and mean age was 3.5 years old.Twenty failed hypospadias cases were repaircd by Onlay island flap urethroplasty and another 1 6 failed hypospadias cases were repaired by Flip-Flap urethroplasty. Results Fistulas were successfully repaired in 86(84.3%)cases out of 102 tubular-ized incised plate urethroplasty procedure.There were 1 3 urethral fistulas and 3 urethral strictures.Seventy-five(87.2%)cases were successful out of 86 Duplay procedure.There were 9 urethral fistulas and 2 urethral strictures.There was no significant difference between these tWO groups of results(P>0.05).Nineteen cases were successful out of 20 Onlay urethroplasty procedures and there was only l urethral fistula.Fourteen cases were successful out of 1 6 Flip-Flap procedures and there was onlv 2 u-rethral fistulas. Conclusions Surgical procedure for urethral fistula repair should be chosen accord-ing to the condition of penis.Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty can get same satisfactory result comparing with Duplay method for failed hypospadias repair.More Snodgrass should be used to assure the cosmetic penis.

Objective To discuss the management of urethral duplication in children. Methods The clinical data of 1 8 children(all are males)with urethral duplication were retrospectivelv ana-lyzed. All the 18 patients were sagittal plane included epispadias in 6,hyposPadias in 4 and Y type in the remaining 8. In 6 cases with epispadias,3 patients underwent excision of the accessorv dorsal ure-thra,3 patients without operation.Urethroplasty was necessary in the patient with a duplicated hypo-spadiac urethra. Of 8 patients with Y-type urethral duplication,7 patients underwent 2 stage repair including displacement of the urethra from the anal canal to the perineum at stage 1 and subsequent urethral reconstruction at stage 2.The ventral urethra which was hypospadias had been excised in the other one. Results All the patients were followed-up. Good cosmetic and functional resuIts were a-chieved in the 3 boys who underwent excision of the accessory dorsal urethra.In the hypospadiac du-plication,2 patients could void spontaneously through a normally positioned granular meatus.One boy presented with urethral stenosis after operated. One boy had a vesicostomy for neuropathic bladder. In Y-type urethral duplications,only 1 patient was successful after 2-stage urethroplasty,3 patients de- veloped urethra stricture or fistula,3 boys need the 2-stage operation,the other 0ne who underwent excision of the ventral urethra could void spontaneously. Conclusions Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly.The clinical presentation varies because of the different anatomical Datterns of this abnormality. Commonly the ventral urethra is most functional and maintained after surgical correc-tion.Surgical management should be individual and depend on the anatomical configuration of the du-plicated urethras.
