Objective: To determine whether 3-dimentional CT scans is able to effectively improve the detection rate of AO B3 distal radius fractures in clinics.Methods: From Jan 2013 to Jan 2014, 30 patients with distal radius fractures were retrospectively enrolled in this study, all the patients directly visited the skeletal trauma emergency department in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital post injury and all of them accepted open reduction and internal fixation of distal radius fractures at last.All the radiographic data including X ray films and 3-dimentional CT scans of these patients were collected.Two independent observers were required to make primary AO classifications for each fracture by X rays at first, then to make final AO classifications by 3-dimentional CT scans.Finally, the detection rates of CT scans and plain films for AO B3 distal radius fractures and B3.3 distal radius fractures were compared, the agreements of the two methods for diagnosing AO B3 and B3.3 fractures were calculated by Cohen''s Kappa calculations.Results: All the 30 fractures were confirmed to be AO B3 distal radius fractures intraoperatively, and 10 of them were B3.3 fractures.The results were completely consistent with the results of 3-dimensional CT scans.However, only 80%(24/30) AO B3 distal radius fractures and 60%(6/10) B3.3 distal radius fractures could be diagnosed only by X rays.The detection rate of CT scans was proved to be significantly higher than X rays for diagnosing B3 distal radius fractures(100% vs.80%,P<0.05), the detection rate of CT scans was also proved to be significantly higher than that of plain films for detecting B3.3 distal radius fractures(100% vs.60%,P<0.05).The agreement of 3-dimentional CT scans and X ray was poor for detecting both the AO B3 distal radius fracture and B3.3 distal radius fracture (kappa=0).Most importantly, in the study process, two special kinds of B3 distal radius fracture were initially found and described by us.One was named as radial B3 fracture, and the other was named as ulna B3 fracture.Conclusion: 3-dimentional CT scans can effectively improve the detection rate of B3 and B 3.3 distal radius fractures, and also help find two special kinds of B3 fractures.

BACKGROUND:It has been reported that treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) increases the abundance of circulating CD34+ cells in rats. Data from the study, more important, suggested that mobilized by G-CSF may enhance rapid reendothelization and reduce neointimal formation after vascular injury.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether BM-derived CD34+ cells could enhance rapid reendothelization and reduce neointimal formation after balloon-injured carotid artery in an intact rat model.DESIGN: Randomized control animal study.SETTING: Nanjing First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in Nanjing First Hospital from December 2005 to April 2006. A total of 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200-250 g and of SPF grade, were purchased from National Rodent Laboratory Animal Resources, Shanghai Branch. The recombinant human G-CSF was purchased from Qilu Pharmaceutical. The 2F Fogarty arterial embolectomy catheters were purchased from Edwards Lifesciences. Anti-human CD34 and anti-human CD45 were purchased from Multi Sciences.METHODS: SD rats were divided randomly into treated group (n =20) and control group (n =20). Subcutaneous injection of recombinant human G-CSF (100 μg/kg/day) once daily for 8 days for treated group. Control group as treated with subcutaneous injection of saline. Five days after initiation of G-CSF treatment or saline, the rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection with ketamine. The left common carotid artery was exposed through a midline incision of the ventral side of the neck. A 2F Fogarty arterial embolectomy catheter was inserted through the external carotid artery,inflated with 200 μL air, and passed 3 times along the length of the segment, which was defined proximally by the carotid bifurcation and distally by the edge of the omohyoid muscle. After removal of the catheter, the proximal ligature of the external carotid artery was tied off. ① An average of 1 mL venous blood per rat was collected for enumeration of the white blood wells (WBCs) and CD34+ cells before and 5 days after initiating G-CSF or saline treatment. ② Ten rats in each group were killed with overdose ketamine at 14 and 28 days after balloon injury and left common carotid arteries were harvested. The luminal surface of carotid arteries (n =5, each group) was exposed to calculate the reendothelialized area, which was manually traced with software (Image ProPlus). Reendothelialized area = non-stained with Evans blue area/the total area of balloon-injuried. The cross sections of carotid arteries (n =5, each group) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and calculated intima-to-media area ratio (I/M) with software (Image ProPlus) to assess the extent of neointimal thickening. ③ To evaluate the extent of reendothelialization of arteries injury, sections were stained with CD31 and vWF by immunohistochemistry analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The number of WBCs and CD34+ cells; ② the extent of reendothelialization of arteries injury; ③ the extent of neointimal hyperplasia (I/M); ④ CD31 + and vWF+ endothelial cells.RESULTS: A total of 40 rats were involved in the final analysis. ① The number of WBCs and CD34+ cells: After 5 days of treatment, the number of WBCs in the treated rats increased more than 2.7-fold compared with control group [(27.60±2.45) ×109 L-1, (10.11±1.81) ×109 L-1, P < 0.01], CD34+ cells increased more than 12.2-fold compared with control group (38.31×107 L-1, 3.14×107 L-1, P < 0.01). ② The extent of reendothelialization: At 14 and 28 days after balloon injury,carotid artery of reendothelialization in the treated group were (68.3±8.3)% and (97.6±4.1)%, superior than the control group (33.8±6.3)% and (76.1±5.2)% (P < 0.01). ③ The extent of neointimal hyperplasia: At 14 and 28 days after balloon injury, the neointima-media (I/M) ratios in the treated rats were 0.39±0.11 and 0.45±0.09, less than the control group 0.87±0.15,1.26±0.16 (P < 0.01). A highly significant inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia was observed in the treated group. ④ CD31+ and vWF+ endothelial cells: At 28 days after injury, sections from G-CSF treated group showed almost complete and continuous monolayer of CD31 and vWF positive cells.In contrast, a patchy and interrupted CD31 and vWF positive cells were found lining the lumen of control group.CONCLUSION:Treatment with G-CSF significantly increases the number of CD34+ cells and accelerates the rate of reendothelialization of injured vessels, leading to marked inhibition of neointimal formation after vascular injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of risperidone on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and the relationship between efficacy and rCBF ratio. Methods Twenty four naive schizophrenic patients (diagnosed according to the ICD 10) completed 8 weeks treatment with risperidone. Ten patients were male and 14 were female. Twenty six healthy controls were enrolled as control group. The treatment dose of risperidone was 3~6 mg/d. After 8 weeks treatment, brain imaging was conducted again. Results Before treatment with risperidone, compared to the control group, the baseline rCBF ratios of left and right inferior posterior temporal of patients were higher and the cognitive activated rCBF ratios of left mid-lateral frontal was lower. After treatment, the baseline state rCBF ratios of right lateral temporal, left and right superior posterior temporal were significantly decreased. The cognitive activated rCBF ratios of left and right inferior medial frontal, left inferior lateral frontal, left superior fronto temporal and left superior lateral fronal significantly increased. The efficacy was correlated with changes of the baseline rCBF ratio in some RIOs. Conclusions Risperidone could change the blood perfusion in some ROIs. It suggested that the perfusion in these ROIs could be useful for predicting treatment efficacy.
