Objective To investigate the value of femoral neck fracture(FNF) typing by digital subtraction angiography(DSA) in prognostic prediction of the fracture healing. Methods From June 2005 to June 2008,45 patients were admitted to our hospital for treatment of single femoral neck fracture.They were 26 males and 19 females,aged from 26 to 60 years(average,45.4 years).Their fractures were all typed according to DSA results.Type Ⅰ ( 15 patients) were DSA pictures which showed 3 to 6 supporting band vascular images crossing the fracture line.Type Ⅱ(14 patients) were DSA pictures which showed one to 2 supporting band vascular images crossing the fracture line.Type Ⅲ(16 patients) were DSA pictures which showed no supporting band vascular images crossing the fracture line.All cases underwent close reduction and internal fixation with cannulated screws under C-arm fluoroscopy.The prognoses of all the patients were evaluated according to their symptoms and imaging examinations in terms of avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH) and fracture healing. Results All the patients obtained an average follow-up of 36.7 months (from 24 to 60 months).In patients of DSA type Ⅰ,the ANFH rate and nonunion rate were respectively 0 and 13.3％ (2/15).In patients of DSA type Ⅱ,the ANFH rate and nonunion rate were respectively 7.1％ (1/14) and7.1％(1/14).In patients of DSA type Ⅲ,the ANFH rate and nonunion rate were respectively 100％ (16/16) and 0.The ANFH rate following FNF treatment was negatively related to age and the vascular number showed by DSA.The nonunion ratewas positively related to age but not significantly associated with the vascular number showed by DSA. Conclusion DSA has a significant value in predicting the prognosis for patients with femoral neck fracture.

Objective To investigate the association between the apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene polymorphism and the dose for warfarin individual maintenance. Methods The genotypes of 249 patients with warfarin treatment in maintenance doses were determined by PCR/DHPLC assay. The doses for warfarin maintenance were compared among patients with different genotypes. Results In the total of 249 patients, the frequencies of 2/ε2, ε2/ε3, ε2/ε4, ε3/ε3, ε3/ε4, ε4/ε4 genotype were 1.20%, 15.66%, 1.80%, 72.29%, 9.24%, 0.80%, respectively; the allele frequencies of ε2, ε3, ε4 were 9.44%, 84.74%, 5.82%, respectively. The warfarin dose of group ε2 (ε2/ε2, ε2/ε3) was (3.24±1.36) mg/d, slightly higher than that of group ε3 (ε3/ε3, 2.91±1.14 mg/d) or group ε4 [ε4/ε4, ε3/ε4, (2.98±1.05) mg/d], but the difference of the warfarin doses among the 3 groups did not reach statistical significance (F=1.848,P＞0.05). Conclusion ApoE polymorphism may be not a major genetic factor that influences the individual dose for warfarin maintenance.

Objective: To create and validate a scoring system for predicting clinical prognosis in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Methods: A cohort of 367 consecutive patients received CRT in our hospital from 2010-01 to 2015-12 were enrolled. The endpoint follow-up events were all-cause death including heart transplantation and heart failure re-admission. The patients were randomly categorized into 2 groups: Modeling group, to develop HEAL scoring system,n=300 and Veriifcation group, to validate HEAL model,n=67. HEAL system was established by Cox proportional hazards regression model, discrimination between HEAL and EARRN scoring systems was evaluated by AUC of ROC, HEAL calibration was assessed by Hosmer-Lemeshow test and clinical endpoint evaluation by 2 scoring systems were compared by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Modeling group analysis indicated that hs-CRP (HR=1.137, 95% CI 1.072-1.205,P<0.001), big endothelin-1 (HR=1.934, 95% CI 1.066-3.507,P=0.03), left atrial diameter (HR=1.045, 95% CI 1.007-1.084,P=0.02) and NYHA IV (HR=2.583, 95% CI 1.331-5.013,P=0.005) were the independent risk factors of adverse prognosis in CRT patients. Based on β partial regression coefifcient, HEAL scoring system was established to classify the patient's risk levels: low risk<4, moderate risk 4-10 and high risk>10. AUC for risk classification in Modeling group and Verification group were 0.719(95% CI 0.629-0.809) and 0.708 (95% CI 0.539-0.878), HEAL can well distinguish clinical prognosis in patients at different risk levels (log-rank test showed in Modeling groupP<0.001 and in Veriifcation groupP=0.002); Hosmer-Lemeshow test presented good calibration,P=0.952. All 367 patients were respectively evaluated by HEAL and EARRN scoring systems, HEAL had the better discrimination than EARRN as AUC 0.763 (95% CI 0.692-0.833) vs AUC 0.602 (95% CI 0.517-0.687). Conclusion: HEAL scoring system can effectively predict adverse prognosis in CRT patients, it had the better discrimination than EARRN system and was valuable to distinguish high risk patients in clinical practice.

Objective To establish an external quality assessment ( EQA) system of genitourinary tract secretions routine testing in Guizhou Province and improve the overall testing level.Methods From 2009 to 2011, more than 50 clinical laboratories in different grade hospitals from Guizhou Province were enrolled as participating units every year.EQA was carried out twice a year.Each time, five slides of high quality Wright′s or Gram stain smear of the genitourinary tract secretions or photographs obtained from these smears were selected to send to the participating laboratories for testing, and the feedback results from each laboratory were analyzed.The qualification was judged by the coincidence rate equal to or more than 80%. The average coincidence rates of each time and each year were statistically analyzed by Chi-squared test. Results From 2009 to 2011, the number of EQA participating units increased from 55 to 96, with an average return rate of >80%.Coincidence rates <80%of the 6 EQA results in the 3 years were as follow:four times for coccobacteria (73.7%,77.8%,61.1%,77.1%), twice for bacillus (75.6%,79.3%) and coccobacillus (64.3%,52.1%), once for infusorian (79.7%), epithelial cells (76.1%), neutropenia (75.7%) and cleanliness (71.3%).There were six batches of 30 quality assessment controls (accounting for 20.0%) in the six EQAs had the coincidence rate of <80%.Eleven items of 30 quality assessment controls with 1 to 15 batches were unqualified ( average coincidence rate of<80%) respectively.The item with the highest total average coincidence rate was suspected gonococcus (94.2%), and two items with the lowest total average coincidence rates were coccus and coccobacillus ( 77.0%, 75.2%, respectively ) . Conclusions This EQA program carried out within a certain range of clinical laboratories achieved good results:participating units increased significantly;the total score of all the items showed an obviously upward trend;the quality awareness of clinical lab technicians has enhanced to a certain extent.In this study, EQA system of genitourinary tract secretion routine testing were preliminarily established in Guizhou province, which provided a reference model of internal quality control ( IQC ) and EQA for clinical laboratories and higher authorities, and will be bound to have a positive impact on improvement of the overall level of genitourinary tract secretion routine testing.
