Journal of Regional Anatomy and Operative Surgery 2016;25(5):361-363
Objective To analyze the postoperative complications and long-term curative effect analysis of elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures by locking proximal humerus plate,and provide reference for such patients’clinical treatment.Methods A total of 92 elder patients with proximal humerus fractures in our hospital from September 2012 to September 2014 were included in the research.They were divided into control group (who were treated with anatomical bone plates)and observation group (who were treated with locking plates),according to different sugrical methods.The postoperative complications situation and long-term curative effect analysis of two groups were compared.Results The proportions of humerus head varus malunion and humerus head necrosis of observation group were less than those of control group,with statistically significant difference(P <0.05).And after six months of follow-up,the excellent rate of observation group were 89.1%,significantly more than control group 67.4%,with statistically significant difference(P <0.05).Conclusion The loc-king plate used in elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures can effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications,and it has excellent long-term curative effect.

Objective To investigate the effects of different early enteral nutrient (EN) emulsions of TPF-T and TP on nutritional status and intestinal mucosal barrier in patients with septic shock. Methods From May 2017 to May 2018, 112 patients with septic shock were continuously enrolled in the Department of Intensive Care Unit of the First People's Hospital of Taizhou, and they were randomly divided into a TPF-T group and TP group, each group with 56 cases. After admission, the patients in both groups were all treated according to the 2016 Saving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) Guidelines for septic shock. Both groups were supported with EN, TPT-T group was given TPF-T EN emulsion rich in fish oil, while TP group was supported with standard TP EN emulsion, and the therapeutic course was consecutive 7 days in both groups. The differences in nutritional status, inflammatory response, immune function, intestinal mucosal barrier, gastrointestinal symptoms and prognosis were compared between the two groups. Results After EN, the nutrition indicators such as albumin (Alb), prealbumin (PA), transferrin (TRF) and immune indexes (IgA, IgG), human leukocyte DR antigens (HLA-DR) and D-lactic acid were increased in both groups, reaching the peaks on the 7th day after EN application, Alb, PA, TRF, IgA, IgG, HLA-DR in the TPF-T group were significantly higher than those in the TP group [Alb (g/L): 34.43±5.81 vs. 33.59±5.34, PA (mg/L): 269.83±47.56 vs. 252.67±41.92, TRF (g/L): 3.43±0.64 vs. 3.32±0.81, IgA (mg/L): 159.45±34.56 vs. 143.31±33.81, IgG (mg/L): 4 947.68±871.66 vs. 4 583.75±841.54, HLA-DR: (68.22±9.11)% vs. (62.21±9.69)%], and after EN, the D-lactic acid in the TPF-T group was significantly lower than that in the TP group (mg/L: 30.42±6.79 vs. 33.34±7.31). The inflammatory indicators of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), endotoxin and diamine oxidase (DAO) were all gradually reduced in two groups, reached the lowest levels on the 7th day after EN application, and all the above-mentioned indicators in the TPF-T group were significantly lower than those in the TP group [TNF-α (ng/L):95.43±20.69 vs. 109.59±23.45, CRP (mg/L): 21.33±16.35 vs. 32.36±17.83, PCT (μg/L): 1.24±1.21 vs. 4.18±1.32, endotoxin (U/L): 10.32±2.31 vs. 11.54±2.69, DAO (g/L): 19.45±8.49 vs. 25.47±9.41]. The incidences of gastric retention, diarrhea and paralysis of lower digestive tract in TPF-T group were significantly lower than those in TP group [gastric retention: 14.29% (8/56) vs. 32.14% (18/56), diarrhea: 12.50% (7/56) vs. 35.71% (20/56), paralysis of lower digestive tract: 7.14% (4/56) vs. 23.21% (13/56)], the length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the TPF-T group than that in the TP group (days: 18.77±5.08 vs. 21.71±6.67, P < 0.05); however, there was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups [14.29% (8/56) vs. 21.43% (12/56), P > 0.05]. Conclusion TPF-T could more effectively maintain nutritional status, reduce inflammatory reaction, improve immunity, protect intestinal mucosal barrier function, and has fewer adverse reactions, which was helpful to improve the prognosis of septic shock patients.
