Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of intramedullary pin versus plate fixation for displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures.Methods The databases,PubMed,CENTAL and CBM,were searched according to the standards of the Cochrane Collaboration for all the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical controlled trials (CCTs) comparing intramedullary pin with plate fixation for treatment of displaced mid-shaft clavicle fractures.In addition,hand search was also conducted in relevant journals.Time limit for search was from the beginning till December 2013.Trial quality was assessed using the modified Jadad scale and effective data were pooled for Meta analysis with software RevMan5.2.7,including wound infection,hospital stay,wound size,intraoperative blood loss,operation duration,implant irritation,implant problems,delayed union,malunion,nonunion,total complications and Constant scoring.Results Three RCTs and 7 CCTs with 697 patients were included in our study.The modified Jadad scoring showed fine quality of the 10 trials.Intramedullary fixation was significantly superior to plate fixation in wound size,intraoperative blood loss,operation duration,hospital stay,wound infection,and symptomatic hardware (P ＜ 0.05),but led to a significantly higher rate of implant problems (P ＜ 0.05).However,no significant differences were identified in total complication rate,delayed union,nonunion,malunion or Constant score (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The superiority of intramedullary fixation for displaced mid-shaft clavicle fracture lies in its advantages of minimally invasion,such as limited incision,less intraoperative bleeding,shorter operation time and hospital stay,less wound infection and implant irritation.Ahhough intramedullary fixation may lead to a higher rate of implant problems,it shows no significant differences from plate fixation in bone healing and functional recovery.

Background Increase of lens thickness at incipient cataract is a key factor of onset of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).Phacoemulsification (Phaco) or phacotrabeculectomy (Phacotrabe) have been documented to be effective for the patients of PACG associated with cataract.However,which surgery is more effective and safe is lack of evidence.Objective This study was to assess and compare the clinical effectiveness of Phaco versus Phacotrabe for PACG with cataract.Methods The relevant literature was searched electronically from the PubMed (1966 to June 2011),EMB Reviews (1966 to June 2011) and Cochrane Library (Issue 1,2011).The manually searching of relevant conference proceedings was used as the supplement.The articles of randomized controlled trial (RCT) about the clinical effectiveness of Phaco versus Phacotrabe for PACG with cataract were included.The methodology quality of included literature was graded.The analysis indexes included intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowing range,postoperative administration of glaucoma drugs,incidence of positive complication,postoperative best corrective visual acuity (BCVA) and perimetry damage.The RevMan4.2 software from Cochrane Collaboration was used for the Meta analyses.Results Three RCTs about phaco versus Phacotrabe for PACG with cataract were selected in this study with the 164 eyes of 164 cases.Meta analysis showed that the IOP-lowing range was larger in the Phacotrabe group compared to only Phaco group with the WMD of 1.17 and 95％ CI of 0.06-2.27 (P =0.040),and the drug dosage of anti-glaucoma was less in the Phacotrabe group in comparison with the Phaco group with the WMD of 0.5 and 95％ CI of 0.24-0.77 (P =0.000).However,the incidence of postoperative complication was higher in the Phacotrabe group than that of the Phaco group with the RR of 0.08 and 95％ CI of 0.02-0.33 (P =0.000).No significant difference was found in the BCVA (WMD =0,95％ CI:-0.13-0.13,P=1.00) andperimetry (WMD =1.01,95％CI:0.56-1.82,P=0.98).Conclusions Compared with Phaco,Phacotrab has a better IOP-lowing effectiveness and slightly worse safety.Phaco and Phacotrab have a fairly influencc in the postoperative BCVA and perimetry.As the sample sizes of the included trials are relatively small,more welldesigned large-scale RCTs are needed.

Objective To explore the child pneumonia in infection circumstances of Coxsackie B virus(CVB), Cytomegalovirus(CMV),Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).Methods Indirect ELISA were used to detect the specific IgM antibody of CVB, CMV, EBV. Results The total positive rate,which suffer from the three kinds of viruses in 140 children wich pneumonias was 38.6%.The positive rates of the CVB- IgM, CMV- IgM, EBV- IgM were 24.3%,8.6%,6.5%.Conclusions CVB has the higher infection rate in the pneumonia, is one of the main causes in the infection of child pneumonia.CMV,EBV also has the certain infection rate, although the infection rate is not high, they can cause damage of many organs and systems .They should be watched out for and valued.

Objective To observe the relationship of awake bispectral index (BISawake) and the postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Methods 100 patients aged 60~75 years with ASA status Ⅰ~Ⅱ, underwent elective lower abdominal surgery with intravenous anesthesia (propofol, remifentanyl and rocuronium). The BIS was adjusted in 40~60 during the surgery. Their cognitive function was assessed with the neuropsychological test battery commended by International study of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (ISPOCD). Results 8 patients withdrew for unwilling or serious complications. The BISawake was more than 65 in 68 patients (group A), and less than 65 in 24 patients (group B). The difference of the verbal learning immediate and delayed of Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised was more in the group B than in the group A. Conclusion Lower BISawake may be associated with the decline of postoperative cognitive function.

Objective To observe the effect of duodenal endoluminal sleeve (ELS)on.glucose metabolism of non-obese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)rats.Methods 24 male spontaneously diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats were randomly divided into surgery group(ELS,n =12)and sham-operated group (SO,n =12).Fasting plasma glucose(FPG) levels of the 2 groups were observed before surgery(0 weeks),or on 1 st,3rd 6th,12th,and 24th week after surgery.Oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) was performed before surgery (0 weeks),or on 6th and 24th week after surgery.Blood glucose versus time curve was depicted and glucose tolerance area under the curve(AUC)was calculated.Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)concentration levels were measured 2 hours after glucose load.Results There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in various indicators before surgery.For ELS group,FPG level significantly decreased on 1 st,3rd 6th,12th,and 24th week after surgery (Fintra-group =5.982,P ＜ 0.01)compared with that before surgery.AUC and blood glucose peak were both loweron 6th and 24th week after surgery than those before surgery (Fintya-group =11.602,P =0.003).OGTT glucose peak reduced to 30 minutes from the original 60 minutes.GLP-1 level significantly increased after glucose load (Fintra-group =43.24,P ＜ 0.05) ; All the index of SO group had no significant change.Conclusion Duodenal ELS has effect on blood glucose control and glucose tolerance improvement in non-obese T2DM rats.

Objective To find out the risk factors of postoperative low cardiac output syndrome(LCOS) of patients undergoing cardiac valvular surgery in ICU in order to provide basic for prevention and control measures.Methods Ninety-six valve replacement patients with valvular heart disease were enrolled as our subjects and they were hospitalized in ICU of the First People's hospital of Yichang from Jan.2008 to May.2013.The patients postoperative LCOS (Dopamine ＞ 10 μg/(kg · min)) were served as observation group (n =41),and the other were control groups(n =55).All data of the patients were recorded.Non-conditions Logistic regressions analysis were adopted to analyze the independent risk factors which resulted in LCOS undergoing cardiac valvular surgery.Results Of 96 patients undergoing cardiac vavular surgery,41cases (42.7％) had postoperative LCOS.Single factor analysis showed that hepatomegaly (P =0.007),course of diseases ≥ 15 years (P =0.042),cardiopulmonary bypass ≥ 120 min (x2 =3.937,P =0.047),pre-operative cardiac function ≥ Ⅲ degree (P =0.003) were the independent risk factors of postoperative LCOS undergoing cardiac valvular surgery.The Logistic multi factor regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors of postoperative LCOS undergoing cardiac valvular surgery included course of diseases ≥ 15 years (OR =2.825,95％ CI =(1.015-7.861)),Pre-operative cardiac function ≥ Ⅲ degree (OR =7.306,95％ CI =(2.050-26.035),P=0.002).Conclusion Course of diseases ≥15 years and Pre-operative cardiac function≥ Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree are the independent risk factors of LCOS undergoing cardiac valvular surgery.

Objective To evaluate the balance of Th1/Th2 cells in the period of remission stage of asthma from the aspects of genes and protein.Methods Peripheral blood from 24 children with asthma in remission stage(asthma group) was obtained.Cytokines interfe-(ron-?)(IFN-?) and interleukin-4(IL-4) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The expression of T-bet mRNA and GATA-3 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear Cells(PBMCs) were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Another 12 healthy children were chosen as control group.Results The plasma level of IL-4 in asthma group was significantly higher than that in control group[(37.14?12.77) ng/L vs(27.08?6.12) ng/L,t=2.467 P

OBJECTIVETo investigate the pathogenic factors of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections.

METHODSTotally 36 serum samples were obtained from early pregnant woman and examined with ELISA for anti-HCMV antibody IgG and IgM. After artificial abortion,chorionic villus and decidua were also examined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HCMV-DNA. When the results of PCR were positive, pathological changes of these chorionic villus and decidua were analyzed.

RESULTSThe results showed that only 10 samples were PCR positive while IgG and/or IgM antibody to HCMV was positive. After infection with HCMV, different changes occurred in chorionic villus and decidual trophoblastic cells placental villus were hyperplasic and decidua cells degenerated and necrotized followed by lymphocytes infiltration.

CONCLUSIONThese pathological changes may be one of pathogenic factors of HCMV.

Objectives To evaluate the effects of enteral nutrition(EN)and parenteral nutrition(PN)support in critically ill surgical patients. Methods 80 patients who could not eat were randomized into two groups:one group receivedEN,the other group received PN. The nutrition parameters including nitrogen balance, serum levels of albumin, prealbumin, transferrin and retinal-binding protein,immunity function parameters including immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin G,immunoglobulin M,and natural kill cell activity, and patients'tolerability parameters including glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, glutarmic-pyruvic transaminase, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine,and plasma glucose were compared. Results After 10 days'therapy,the two groups all turned from negative nitrogen balance to positive nitrogen balance. The nutrition parameters and immunity function parameters increased significantly in both groups and the latter in group EN increased more. For tolerability parameters, blood sugar in group PN increased obviously and no change in EN group. ConclusionsBoth EN and PN play a rde in nutrition support and elevation of immunity function. Patients tolerate well. EN has better effects on elevation of immunity function and patients tolerate better compared with PN.
