[Method]From May 2003 to July 2006,apply DHS combined with hollow traction holt to treat thighbone interrotor fracture 9 ca- ses,6 males,3 females,aged 47～72,62.6 in average,5 cases of left side,4 right side;classify under Evan's:5 cases of typeⅡ, 2 ofⅢ,2 ofⅣ.[Result]Follow up for 6～21 months,12 months in average.Appraise the clinical effect by Huang Gongyi's standard,7 cases were very good,1 good,1 bad,the good rate was 89%.[Conclusion]DHS combined with hollow traction bolt treating thighbone interrotor fracture can obviously increase stability of fracture point,reduce local rotation,helpful to fracture cure and early exercise,as well as the complication.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of four polyphyllins in different parts of paris polyphylla by means of compa-ring the contents of relative constituents in paridis rhizome and fibril to provide reference for comprehensive exploitation and utilization of paris polyphylla. Methods:Paris polyphylla samples were collected from Wudang mountain area and Shennongjia forest area. The contents of main secondary metabolites including polyphillinⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅵ andⅦin paridis rhizome and fibril were evaluated by HPLC. Results:The four polyphyllins contents had obvious differences in different parts of polyphylla. The total content of four polyphillins in fibril was significantly higher than that in rhizome. Diosgenin compositions had no significant difference in the two parts, and the con-tents of pennogenin compositions in fibril showed significantly higher than those in rhizome. Conclusion:As for the main chemical com-positions contained in polyphylla, there is chemistry equality between fibril and rhizome, thus both of them can be used for medicine. However, as for the contents of four steroidal saponins, the distribution of secondary metabolites has obvious difference between fibril and rhizome, and the result may be caused by steroidal saponins transferred to rhizome for storage after the synthesis in fibril.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the plasma galectin-3 level and the severity of cerebral artery atherosclerosis as well as the prognosis of patients with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke.Methods According to the TOAST classification,105 patients with LAA stroke,50 patients with small artery occlusion (SAO) stroke,33 patients with asymptomatic cerebral artery stenosis,and 60 healthy controls were enrolled.The plasma galectin-3 level was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.According to the number of cerebral arteries with atherosclerosis,the LAA group was divided into single-branch lesions group (n =30),double-branch lesions group (n =30) and multi-branch lesions group (n =45).Plasma galectin-3 levels were compared among the three subgroups,and the associations between galectin-3 and the severity of cerebral atherosclerosis were analyzed.The LAA group patients were followed up for three months,and the value of galectin-3 on predicting the prognosis of patients with LAA stroke was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores.Results The plasma galectin-3 level in LAA group ((13.64 ± 3.08) ng/ml) was significantly higher than in SAO group ((12.20 ± 2.88) ng/ml) and control group ((11.89 ± 2.93) ng/ml;t =2.790,3.617,P =0.006,0.000).Besides,the plasma galectin-3 level in asymptomatic stenosis group ((13.94 ± 2.89) ng/ml) was significantly higher than in SAO group and control group (t =2.695,3.238,P =0.009,0.002).However,the differences between asymptomatic stenosis group and LAA group,SAO group and control group were not statistically significant.In LAA group,the plasma galectin-3 level in multi-branch lesions group ((15.02 ±2.94) ng/ml) was significantly higher than in double-branch lesions group ((13.47 ± 2.88) ng,/ml) and single-branch lesions group ((11.73 ± 2.43) ng/ml;t =2.261,5.080,P =0.027,0.000).The plasma galectin-3 level in double-branch lesions group was significantly higher than in single-branch lesions group (t =2.532,P =0.014).The plasma galectin-3 level and the range of atherosclerosis and mRS scores were positively correlated (r =0.433,0.629;P =0.000,0.000).The area under the ROC curve of plasma galectin-3 level and prognosis was 0.812 (95％ CI O.726-0.897,P =0.000).Conclusions The plasma galectin-3 level was found associated with the severity of cerebral artery atherosclerosis,but not with acute onset of LAA and SAO stroke.Galectin-3 may be involved in the inflammatory pathogenesis and development of cerebral atherosclerosis,and may have the potential to become a plasma marker for evaluating the severity of cerebral artery atherosclerosis and judging the prognosis of patients with LAA stroke.

To determine the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities in a child psychiatric population, and to evaluate possible associations between types of abnormalities and patient's clinical characteristics, cytogenetic examination was performed on 604 patients. Demographic data, reasons for karyotyping, clinical signs, and other patient characteristics were assessed and correlated with the results from karyotyping. Chromosomal abnormalities were found in 69 patients (11.3%); these were structural in 49 cases and numerical in 20. Inversion of chromosome nine was found in 15 subjects, trisomy of chromosome 21 in 11, and fragile X in five patients. When karyotyping was performed because of intellectual impairment or multiple developmental delay, significantly more abnormalities were found than average; when performed because autistic disorder was suspected, the number of abnormalities was significantly fewer. There were no differences in clinical variables between structural and numerical abnormalities, nor among nine types of chromosomal abnormalities, except that numerical abnormalities and polymorphism were found at a later age, and that walking was more delayed and IQ was lower in patients with Down syndrome. Clinicians should be aware of the possible presence of chromosomal abnormalities in child psychiatric populations; the close collaboration with geneticists and the use of more defined guidelines for cytogenetic investigation are important.

Objective:To investigate the role of miRNA-4298/PADI4/p53 signal axis in mediating 4f-induced apoptosis of leukemia cells.Methods:The cell growth density was observed under inverted microscope and the proliferation of leukemia cells was detected by CCK-8 counting assay. The expression of PADI4 and P53 at mRNA level was detected by qRT-PCR. Cell cycle and apoptosis were measured with flow cytometry. The expression of PADI4, P53, Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9 at protein level was detected by Western blot. Differential miRNA and mRNA expression profiles was detected by next generation sequencing. Databases such as TargetScan were used to predict the potential upstream and downstream genes of PADI4. A luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the 3′UTR of PADI4 targeted by miRNA-4298. Cell transfection assay was used to detect the effect siRNA, PADI4 vector, miRNA mimics and miRNA inhibitor in interference and rescue.Results:Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) inhibitor 4f could inhibit the proliferation of THP-1, K562 and U937 cells, and induce the apoptosis of these leukemia cells. It downregulated the expression of PADI4 mainly through the binding activity of miRNA-4298 to miRNA sponges, which resulted in the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis of leukemia cells. The inhibited proliferation and apoptosis of leukemia cells by 4f were associated with the increase of P53 expression after the decrease of PADI4 expression. The PADI4-dependent upregulation of P53 led to the ratio inversion of downstream Bcl-2/Bax, which activated caspase-3 or caspase-9 to induce the apoptosis of leukemia cells.Conclusions:The apoptosis of leukemia cells induced by Nrf2 inhibitor 4f was mainly associated with the miRNA-4298/PADI4/p53 axis, suggesting that it might be a novel signaling pathway for targeted therapy.
