Objective To explore the best mass ratio of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) / cisplatin complex filling and to repair bone defect caused by tumor resection. Methods Mixed-molding method was used to obtain cisplatin/calcium phosphate cement complex at 0, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.4% mass ratio. Drug concentration was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Bone defect of rabbits and osteosarcoma of rats were prepared. We implanted CPC and CPC/cisplatin complex to observe the repair of bone defect and the inhibition of tumor in vivo. Results CPC containing 0.1% ～ 0. 2 % cisplatin not only repaired the bone defect in rabbits but also eliminated osteosarcoma in rats. Conclusion CPC containing 0.1% ～ 0. 2 % cisplatin can repair bone defect and eliminate tumor without influencing the prosthetic precess.

Objective To compare new type streamlined liner pharynx airway with standard type Ⅰ laryngeal mask airway in the clinical effectiveness in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.Methods Seventy three cases undergone gynecologic laparoscopic surgery were divided into two groups randomly.The observation group(40 cases) and the control group(33 cases) were maintained by streamlined liner pharynx airway(SLIPA) and standard type Ⅰ laryngeal mask airway respectively.The success rate of placement,throat hemorrhage and pain before/after anesthesia and other indicators.were strictly observed and recorded during anesthesia.Results The success rate of placement was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of throat hemorrhage and throat pain after surgery were significantly lower in the observation group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The streamlined liner pharynx airway could be easyly and safely placed and causes less tissue injury and complications in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.SLIPA was worthy of being recommended in clinical surgery.

This study was designed to assess the feasibility of calcium phosphate cement/amifostine complex as a new material for filling the bone defect caused by tumor resection. Mixed-molding method was used, the mass ratios of 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% of amifostine/calcium phosphate cement complex being adopted. The curing time, mechanical strength, porosity, scanning electron micrograph, osteosarcoma cells' vitality and vascular endothelial cells' vitality relevant to the complex in vitro were observed. Calcium phosphate cement being loaded with 0.1% and 0.5% amifostine did not affect the curing time, strength, pore size and porosity of calcium phosphate bone cement. In addition proliferation and differentiation of osteosarcoma cells and vascular endothelial cells were not affected. These data suggest that phosphate cement containing 0.1% and 0.5% amifostine be of significance in the treatment regimen as bone defect filling materials..

Objective To investigate the morphological differences of proximal femoral medullary cavity in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture and its effect on the treatment efficacy of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA). Methods A retrospective case series study was conducted on the clinical data of 112 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture of the femur from December 2012 to January 2017, including the preoperative and postoperative hip joints orthotopic X ray (including the proximal femur), lateral X ray, and pelvic orthotopic X ray films. The proximal femoral canal flare index (CFI) and the metaphyseal canal flare index (MCFI) were measured. The proportion of patients with different types of medullary cavity and the gender difference were analyzed according to Dorr typing. The fractures were classified according to the modified Evans classification. Operation time, fracture reduction quality, tip apex distance (TAD), incidence of intraoperative split fracture around the rotors, postoperative fracture reduction loss rate, weight bearing time, and fracture healing time were recorded. Results The proximal femoral canal flare index (CFI) was significantly correlated with the intramedullary diameter above the lesser trochanter, the inner diameter of the affected side medullary cavity isthmus, and metaphyseal canal flare index (MCFI) (P ＜0.01). There was clear difference in gender in terms of the medullary cavity diameter 20 mm above the middle point of lesser trochanter, medullary isthmus internal diameter, the medullary cavity diameter 20 mm below the middle point of lesser trochanter, CFI, and MCFI. Thereinto, there was significant difference in the medullary cavity diameter 20 mm above the middle point of lesser trochanter [male (52.6 ± 6.4) mm, female: (49.9 ± 5.4) mm], the medullary cavity diameter 20 mm below the middle point of lesser trochanter [male: (26.5 ± 3.7) mm, female: (23.1 ±2.8)mm], and MCFI (male:2.0 ±0.3, female:2.2 ±0.2). No significant difference between the medullary isthmus internal diameter and CFI was found (P＞0.05). In this group, the medullary cavity of proximal femur was classified by Dorr: the proportion of funnel type, normal type, and chimney type was 5.4％ (6/112), 73.2％ (82/112), and 21.4％ (24/112), respectively. There was no significant difference in the modified Evans fracture stability among different morphological types of the proximal femoral medullary cavity. The difference of weight bearing time between normal group and chimney group was statistically significant [normal type: (21.4±16.9)d, chimney type: (45.5 ± 11.2)d] (P ＜ 0.05), but there were no significant differences in operation time, reduction quality, TAD, intraoperative incidence of cleavage fracture incidence, reduction loss rate, and healing time between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions The occurrence and development of osteoporosis can cause significant changes in the morphology of proximal femoral medullary cavity, mainly manifesting as the gradual increase of the proportion of chimney type. The efficacy of PFNA in treatment of the intertrochanteric fracture is satisfactory. However, the risk of intraoperative cleavage fracture and postoperative reduction loss should be taken seriously.

Objective: To explore the relationship between mobile phone dependence (MPD) and academic burden among junior middle school students in Guizhou Province, under the "double reduction" policy by using a multi level model, so as to provide a basis for preventing the occurrence of MPD. Methods: From December 2021 to January 2022, 7 868 students from grade 1 to grade 3 in 3 cities (prefecture) of Guizhou Province were selected by multi stage stratification random sampling method, and on site investigation was conducted by self compiled questionnaire and Self rating Questionnaire for Adolescent Problematic Mobile Phone Use(SQAPMPU). Using MLwiN 2.30 to fit a multi level model of the relationship between MPD and academic burden among junior middle school students. Results: The MPD detection rate of junior middle school students in Guizhou Province was 20.9%. The multi level model revealed that MPD of junior middle school students was clustered at the level of school and class ( χ 2= 1 565.32 , P <0.01), and high perceived academic pressure had a positive predictive effect on MPD among junior middle school students ( β =1.96). Homework duration ≥90 min/d at weekends had a negative predictive effect on MPD ( β =-0.55), while participation in off campus training on learning days had a positive predictive effect ( β =1.66)( P <0.05). Conclusion The MPD occurrence level is higher among junior middle school students in Guizhou Province. Perceived academic pressure, time spent on homework during weekends, off campus training and other academic burdens have an impact on MPD among junior middle school students, which should be a cause of concern for schools, families and social departments.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and regulation of G-quadruplex(G4)in enzymes related to glycolysis.METHODS The sequences of the transcription start site(TSS)region upstream of 1500 bp to the 5'-Untranslated region in 200 enzymes and their subtypes in glycolysis were selected for bioinformatics analysis.Related enzymes in glycolysis containing putative G-quadru-plex-forming sequences(PQSs)were identified.Circular Dichroism and Native polyacrylamide gel elec-trophoresis were used to verify the formation of G4.The ExonucleaseⅠhydrolysis assay was used to validate the stability of the formed G4 under 0,0.5,2,8,16,and 32 min.A reporter gene plasmid was constructed by inserting specific fragments of the related enzymes before the luciferase expression sequence.The dual-luciferase reporter assay system validate the expression level of luciferase to assess the impact of G4 on promoter activity.Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to validate the transcriptional regulatory role of G4 by detecting the mRNA levels of luciferase.RESULTS ①Bioin-formatics analysis showed that out of the 200 glycolysis-related enzymes,12 contained PQSs.Based on the analysis of the length and structure of PQSs,aldolase A(ALDOA)and phosphoglycerate mutase 2(PGAM2)proved to be able to form stable G4.② ALDOA and PGAM2 had the maximum positive absorption peak at 260 nm and maximum negative absorption peak at 240 nm.Both of them could form a G4 at the same time.③After digestion with ExonucleaseⅠ,ALDOA and PGAM2 showed no significant hydrolysis and demonstrated the stability of G4 structures.However,both of them could be gradually hydrolyzed after mutations in their PQSs.④ After PQS mutation of ALDOA and PGAM2,the mRNA levels and expression of downstream luciferase of ALDOA were significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),while PGAM2 was significantly decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01).CONCLUSION The gene sequences of glycolysis-related enzymes and their subtypes contain a large number of PQSs.ALDOA and PGAM2 can form stable G4 and perform transcriptional regulatory functions.

Objective: To compare the abdominal fat distribution in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and essential hypertension (EH), and to analyze the correlation between abdominal fat area and indexes such as glycolipid metabolism and insulin resistance. Methods: Forty-five PA and 55 EH patients were collected from inpatients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University for suspicious secondary hypertension, from September 2016 to February 2019. All patients received quantitative computed tomography to measure the total abdominal fat area (TFA), visceral fat area (VFA), and subcutaneous fat area (SFA) when receiving adrenal CT detection. Visceral obesity was defined as VFA≥130 cm². The percentage of visceral fat area in total abdominal fat area (V%=VFA/TFA), the ratio of visceral fat area to subcutaneous fat area (V/S=VFA/SFA) and the percentage of visceral obesity were calculated. Results: TFA and VFA in EH group were higher than those in PA group matched by age, gender, and body mass index (BMI, all P<0.01), and there were no statistically significant differences in SFA, V%, V/S, and the percentage of visceral obesity between the two groups. In PA group, TFA and VFA were positively correlated with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (P<0.01), TFA was positively correlated with triglycerides (TG) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, while SFA was positively correlated with TG (all P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with EH patients matched by age, gender, and BMI, TFA and VFA in PA patients are lower. Abdominal fat area is associated with insulin resistance and blood lipids in PA patients, while VFA exerts a greater effect on insulin resistance than that of TFA and SFA.

Osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly will seriously reduce their quality of life and life expectancy. For osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, spinal reconstruction is necessary, which should comprehensively consider factors such as the physical condition, fracture type, clinical characteristics and osteoporosis degree. While there lacks relevant clinical norms or guidelines on selection of spinal reconstruction strategies. In order to standardize the concept of spinal reconstruction for osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, based on the principles of scientificity, practicality and progressiveness, the authors formulated the Clinical guideline for spinal reconstruction of osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in elderly patients ( version 2022), in which suggestions based on evidence of evidence-based medicine were put forward upon 10 important issues related to the fracture classification, non-operative treatment strategies and surgical treatment strategies in spinal reconstruction after osteoporosis thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, hoping to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
