Objective To explore the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure on intraoperative pulmonary function and respiratory mechanics in patients receiving continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion.Methods Ninety patients (55 males,35 females,aged 40-70 years,ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ) undergoing continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion were selected and divided into 3 groups (n=30 each): regular volume controlled ventilation group (group A),5 cm H2O PEEP group (group B) and 10 cm H2O PEEP group (group C).After tracheal intubation,the mechanical ventilation parameters in groups A,B and C were respectively given tidal volume (VT) 10 ml/kg without positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP),VT 6 ml/kg with 5 cm H2O PEEP,and VT 6 ml/kg with 10cm H2O.PETCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg.Arterial blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis 5 min after (T1),before CHPP (T2),the end of CHPP (T3),and before the end of mechanical ventilation (T4).Besides,Pplat,Pmean,Ppeak,PaCO2,PaO2were recorded and Cdyn,OI,RI,A-aDO2 as well as VD/VT were calculated at all time points simultaneously.Pulmonary complications during 7 days after surgery were also recorded.Results Compared with group A,Ppeak,Pplat,A-aDO2 and RI were all significantly lower (P<0.05),while OI and VD/VT were higher in groups B and C at T1-T4 (P<0.05);at T2-T4,Cdyn and PaO2 were higher with lower Pmean in groups B and C (P<0.05).Compared with T1,Ppeak,Pplat and Pmean were higher (P<0.05) while Cdyn was lower (P<0.05) in group A at T2-T4;In Group B,Ppeak and Pplat were higher at T3 (P<0.05),Pmean was higher at T2-T4 (P<0.05) and Cdyn was lower at T3,T4 (P<0.05);in group C,Ppeak,Pplat and Pmean were all higher at T2-T4 (P<0.05),Cdyn was lower at T3,T4 (P<0.05);OI and PaO2 were lower (P<0.05),while A-aDO2,VD/VT and RI were all higher (P<0.05) at T2-T4 in the three groups.In addition,the incidence rates of pulmonary infection,hypoxemia,and atelectasis were significantly lower in groups B and C during 7 days after surgery than those of group A (P<0.05).Conclusion PEEP (5 cm H2O) with VT (6 ml/kg) could effectively improve intraoperative pulmonary function and reduce the risk of perioperative pulmonary complications of the patients receiving continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion.

Objective To compare open versus closed reduction in treatment of children with displaced femoral neck fracture whose reduction is delayed by more than 24 hours.Methods We retrospectively reviewed 51 children who had been treated at our department for femoral neck fracture between May 2005 and May 2012 after their reduction had been delayed for more than 24 hours.They were 37 boys and 14 girls,1.7 to 15.5 years of age (average,9.1 years).According to Delbet's classification,27 cases belonged to type Ⅱ,18 to type Ⅲ,and 6 to type Ⅳ.Of them,18 underwent closed reduction and 33 open reduction.Their complications were recorded in detail.Their therapeutic results were evaluated according to Ratliff's criteria and compared between the 2 methods of reduction.Results The 51 children were followed up for an average of 36.7 months (range,from 17 to 61 months).Anatomic reduction was achieved in 6 cases in the closed reduction group (33.3％) and 29 cases in the open reduction group (87.9％),respectively.All fractures healed after an average of 10.9 weeks (range,from 9 to 13 weeks),with one exception of nonunion in the closed reduction group.The incidence of femoral head necrosis in the closed reduction group (27.8％,5/18) was significantly higher than that in the open reduction group (15.2％,5/33) (P ＜ 0.05).According to the Ratliff's evaluation at the final follow-ups,the good to excellent rate in the closed reduction group(66.7％,12/18) was significantly lower than that in the open reduction group (84.8％,28/33) (P ＜0.05).Coxa vara occurred in 3 children in the closed reduction group but in none in the open reduction group.Conclusion Open reduction with internal fixation may lead to better outcomes than closed reduction in the treatment of children with displaced femoral neck fracture whose reduction is delayed by more than 24 hours,probably because open reduction can result in better reduction quality.

BACKGROUND: With the extensive application of small animal imaging and imaging studies, it requires the investigators to master the cross-sectional anatomy of mice, but the anatomy of mouse nasal cavity and sinuses cannot be obtained through vivisection.OBJECTIVE: To establish a highly precise serial colorful sectional image data set of mice using digital virtual human technology.METHODS: An adult male Balb/c mouse was killed for freezing embedded using modified Kawamoto's method and was then serially scanned at 5 μm of thickness by Leica CM3600XP cryostat microtome. The sectional images were photographed with a 24 million pixels Nikon D750 camera and stored as JPG files. All images were preliminarily registered by manually cropping the images based on the edge of block surface using software photoshop 7.0. Then, the image size, brightness and registration were corrected and adjusted, and the format of the images was unified as TIFF. The data set was imported to Amira 6.0 and was registered again with least square method. The quality of the data set was evaluated by three-dimensional reconstruction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 6034 original images with a size of 87 GB were captured. After cropping, adjusting and registration, the final size was 184 G. The mouse three-dimensional reconstruction model was satisfactory. To conclude, the data set established using the method and system mentioned above is characterized by high resolution and high-fidelity, which might facilitate the further study of the precise anatomy of mice and other fundamental experiments.

The release kinetics research of sustained-release formulations of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) is an inalienable part of the chain of TCM modernization, which plays an important role in the development of modern compound TCM preparation. However, the research method or pattern in line with the specific characteristics of TCM, i.e., multi-component and multi-target, is still lacking. On the basis of material rough set theory, this paper reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of the existing evaluation patterns and methods, a tentative idea about the "total amount" release characteristics evaluation on TCM compound sustained-release preparation has suggested so as to evaluate the release kinetics and to promote the development of evaluation methodology on TCM sustained-release preparations.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment strategy of ankle supination fracture in children.Methods From January 2012 through July 2014,89 children were treated at our department for ankle fracture caused by supination sprain according to their medical history,physical examination,X-ray films and CT three-dimensional reconstruction of the ankle.Appropriate protocols were applied on the basis of Lauge-Hansen classification,type and displacement of their fractures.Of them,52 belonged to the supination-adduction type (the extramalleolus fracture was of Odgen type Ⅶ in 51 children whose epiphyseal plate of distal fibula had not been closed),35 to the supination-extorsion type (32 cases had tri-plane fracture and 3 Tillaux fracture),and the remaining 2 did not fit the Lauge-Hansen classification.Surgical treatment was applied in 32 cases and conservative treatment in 57 ones.Results All the children received outpatient follow-up from 12 to 24 months(mean,18 months).No bone nonunion,osteoarthritis,or fracture malunion was found.The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society scores averaged 92 points (range,from 88 to 100 points) at the last follow-ups.Conclusions In children whose epiphyseal plate is nearly closed,supination-adduction sprain likely causes an extramalleolus fracture of Salter-Harris type Ⅰ or type Ⅱ,but in children whose epiphyseal plate is unclosed,an epiphyseal fracture of Odgen type Ⅶ is inclined to happen.A Tillaux fracture or tri-plane fracture at the level of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis results often from supination-extorsion sprain in children.For fractures involving epiphysis or epiphyseal plate,anatomical reduction and proper fixation are critical to functional recovery and reducing complications.

Multi-target drugs attract increasing attentions for the therapy of complicated neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, a computer-assisted strategy was applied to search for multi-target compounds by the pharmacophore matching. This strategy has been successfully used to design dual-target inhibitor models against both the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Based on two pharmacophore models matching and physicochemical properties filtering, one hit was identified which could inhibit AChE with IC50 value of (0.337 +/- 0.052) micromol x L(-1) and PARP-1 by 24.6% at 1 micromol x L(-1).

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and postoperative prognosis analysis of intra-thoracic localized Castleman disease (LCD).Methods The clinical data of 9 patients with intra-thoracic LCD who accepted surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed.There were 5 males and 4 females,with age of (32.8 ± 10.9) years.Two patients complained of chest pain,1 patient suffered from paraneoplastic pemphigus,and the rest were diagnosed by physical examination.Four cases were diagnosed with LCD by preoperative CT examination.Results All patients underwent surgical resection.Four patients were performed open surgery and 5 patients had video assisted thoracic surgery.All patients accepted radical surgery.But 2 of these patients had postoperative complications.One patient was the injury of phrenic nerve and another was pericardial effusion.Patho-histological showed hyaline vascular type of Catleman disease in all patients.All patients survived without recurrence during the follow-up for 2-53 months.Conclusions Intra-thoracic is rare and liable to misdiagnosed.For increasing the preoperative diagnosis rate of LCD,the combined application of imaging tests is important,and clinicians and radiologists should also enhance the awareness of this disease.Complete surgical resection of the tumor is the best therapeutic alternative for intra-thoracic LCD.
