Objective To study of long-stem proshetic replacement of comminuted intertrochanteric fracture of femur in the elderly patients. Method Fifteen consecutive patiens who were more than 70 years old and had an unstable intertrochanteric fracture were treated with long-stem proshetic replacement from 2001 to 2003.The average hospital stay ,the average time to amblulation with full-weith bearing on the operated limb after operation and complication were observed. Result The average hospital stay of the patiens was 16 days,,the average time to amblulation was 14 days , the pain of the hip was two cases. Conclusion Long-stem proshetic replacement of comminuted intertrochanteric fracture of femur in the elderly pateins may be a suitable alternative to internal fixation because the prothesis provides for early full weigh-bearing and rapid rehabilitation.

Objective To compare the effect of hip artificial replacement and DHS internal fixation for the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture, and investigate the difference of the two method. Methods Eighty-six pa- tients with intertrochanterie fracture patients were treated with hip arthroplasty, and dynamic hip screw. The pa- tients were followed up for 6 months, and compared the operation rime, blood loss, postoperative complications, sur- vival rate, postoperative hip function score and lose situation. Results There was no significant difference in opera- tion time,blood loss,postoperative complications,in local symptoms hip varus deformation occured in the DHS inter- hal fixation because lag screw cut-our and the collapse of the medial cortex, hip and thigh pain oecured in artificial re- placement,hip function score dropped 9.5 % in DHS and 9.2% in artificial replacement. Conclusion For elderly patients, eomminuted fracture and osteoporosis, and other types of unstable intertrochanteric fracture patients, the primary purpose of surgery is to provide to patients more activities of the early conditions,so hip arthroplasty can be used to the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture,as a reasonable replacement surgery.

Objective To study the relationship between environment selenium distribution characteristic and Kaschin-Beck disease (KBD) in the Yarlung Zangbo River banks and to provide some measures for prevention and control of KBD in the north side of the river bank.Methods Considering the geography and KBD distribution,we made a survey in Xietongmen (KBD area),Lazi and Sajia (non-KBD area) counties in 2013 and 2015.Water,soil,herbage,grain food and children hair samples were collected.Selenium of the samples was measured by hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry.Results A total of 246 samples of natural soil,cultivated soil,drinking water,food and forage,and 103 samples of children hair were collected.The selenium in natural soil,cultivated soil,herbage,barley,tsampa,self-produced wheat in non-KBD area in the south side of Yarlung Zangbo River bank were significantly higher than those in KBD areas in the north side [mean (μg/kg):288.62 vs 134.90,228.26 vs 160.28,41.85 vs 5.10,13.99 vs 4.02,12.64 vs 8.07,27.44 vs 13.56,U =7,23,0,19,62,0,P ＜ 0.05].Hair selenium in school children in KBD area in the north side was higher than that previously reported,but still significantly lower than that in non-KBD areas in the south side of the river bank [mg/kg:0.221 vs 0.306,U =650,P ＜ 0.01],and about 65.45％ (36/55)of school children in KBD area were at a risk of selenium deficiency in the north of the Yarlung Zangbo River bank.Conclusions The selenium contem in the food chain of soilplants-animals (human being) is significantly lower in KBD area in the north side of Yarlung Zangbo River bank than that in non-KBD areas in the south side.It's still a key factor for the occurrence and prevalence of KBD that low selenium in environment in KBD areas in the north side.

Objective:To evaluate the prognostic value of plasma microRNA-30b-5p (miR-30b-5p) combined with extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:120 ARDS patients admitted to Danzhou People's Hospital from January 2016 to June 2019 were enrolled. The gender, age, body mass index (BMI), underlying diseases, etiology and baseline values of heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxygenation index (OI), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score were collected. According to the survival outcome during hospitalization, the patients were divided into survival group and death group. According to OI, the patients were divided into mild-moderate group (OI > 100 mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and severe group (OI ≤ 100 mmHg). The expression of plasma miR-30b-5p was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and EVLWI was measured. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the value of plasma miR-30b-5p and EVLWI in predicting the death of patients with ARDS. Pearson correlation method was used to analyze the correlation between miR-30b-5p and EVLWI in ARDS patients with different prognosis during hospitalization. Results:120 patients with ARDS were enrolled in the analysis, with 42 patients in the death group, and 78 in the survival group; with 67 patients in the mild-moderate group, and 53 in the severe group. APACHE Ⅱ score in the death group was higher than that in the survival group, but there was no significant difference in gender, age, BMI, underlying diseases, etiology or baseline values of HR, RR, OI, or PaCO 2 between the two groups. The expression of plasma miR-30b-5p and EVLWI level in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group [miR-30b-5p (2 -ΔΔCt): 2.28±0.74 vs. 0.52±0.06, EVLWI (mL/kg): 15.38±4.60 vs. 10.24±2.15, both P < 0.01]. The expression of plasma miR-30b-5p, EVLWI and mortality during hospitalization in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the mild-moderate group [miR-30b-5p (2 -ΔΔCt): 2.05±0.65 vs. 0.93±0.17, EVLWI (mL/kg): 14.65±4.20 vs. 11.36±2.28, mortality during hospitalization: 58.5% (31/53) vs. 16.4% (11/67), all P < 0.01]. ROC curve analysis showed that the best cut-off value of plasma miR-30b-5p and EVLWI in predicting the death during hospitalization of ARDS patients were 1.62 and 13.28 mL/kg, respectively. Moreover, the area under ROC curve (AUC) of the combination of two parameters was significantly higher than that of the two alone (0.897 vs. 0.827, 0.785), with high sensitivity and specificity, 90.5% and 84.2%, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that plasma miR-30b-5p in dead ARDS patients was significantly positively correlated with EVLWI ( r = 0.768, P < 0.01), but the correlation was not found in surviving patients ( r = 0.118, P > 0.05). Conclusion:The expression of plasma miR-30b-5p and EVLWI are related to the severity and prognosis of patients with ARDS, and the combination of the two has certain evaluation value for the prognosis of ARDS patients.

This study sought to determine the impact of dental fluorosis severity on demineralization and remineralization of human fluorosed teeth in vitro. Surface enamel microhardness was measured on the enamel blocks before and after demineralization and after remineralization. The results showed that after demineralization, the sequence of % Surface microhardness demineralization (% SMHD) was TFI4 (18.92 +/- 1.31) < TFI3 (20.50 +/- 1.32) < TFI2 (25.08 +/- 1.69) < TFI1 (27.77 +/- 1.79) < TFI0 (30.70 +/- 1.35) (P < 0.05), and there was no statistically significant differences between TFI1 (27.77 +/- 1.79) and the normal group TFI0 (30.70 +/- 1.35). After remineralization, the sequence of % Surface microhardness remineralization (% SMHR) was TFI1 (55.17 +/- 1.23) > TFI0 (53.97 +/- 3.05) > TFI2 (49.17 +/- 1.81) > TFI3 (44.85 +/- 1.89) > TFI4 (36.51 +/- 2.95) (P < 0.05). Moderately fluorosed enamel showed a significatnt resistance to caries, but mildly fluorosed enamel could get better remineralization. These facts and figures deserve clinicians' attention.

Objective:To assess the changes of selenium nutrition of school-age children in Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) areas of Linzhou County, Lhasa City and Xietongmen County, Shigatse City in Tibet Autonomous Region (referred to as Tibet), and provide a scientific basis for evaluating the effectiveness of prevention and control measures.Methods:According to the historical condition of KBD, a total of 344 children's hair samples were collected to determine the content of selenium in Kazi (KBD area) and Jiangxia townships (non-KBD area) of Linzhou County in 2013 and 2021, Renqinze (KBD area) and Tongmen townships (non-KBD area) of Xietongmen County in 2015 and 2021.Results:Compared to 2013/2015, in 2021, the hair selenium level of children in the four townships increased ( P < 0.001). The selenium nutritional level of more than 90% of the children reached medium or above (hair selenium > 0.25 μg/g) in 2021. The hair selenium levels of girls in the two KBD areas (Kazi and Renqinze townships) were lower than those of boys ( Z = - 2.83, - 2.83, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The selenium nutrition level of school-age children in KBD areas in Linzhou and Xietongmen counties has increased rapidly in recent years. However, the selenium nutrition level of girls is significantly lower than that of boys. It is necessary to strengthen prevention, controlling and monitoring, and to further improve the dietary structure of school-age children through the joint efforts of families and schools, to increase the proportion of exogenous high selenium food intake.
