BACKGROUND:The design of proximal femoral locking compression plate existed defects. Therefore, our team designed triangle truss locking plate with hyper-short arm according to proximal femoral locking compression plate (patent No. 201220051751.2).
OBJECTIVE:To design and make triangle truss locking plate and evaluate its biomechanical properties.
METHODS:Triangle truss locking plate with hyper-short arm was designed based on the support of two proximal screws of proximal femoral locking compression plate. Five pairs of fresh adult femur specimens were prepared, and the model of A3.1 (AO classification) reverse intertrochanteric fracture was established. Experimental group (right side) was fixed with triangle truss locking plate. Control group (left side) was fixed with proximal femoral locking compression plate. Stress distribution of the screws of proximal end of the plate, stress distribution of the fracture ends, the opening angle of fracture, and maximum load were detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Stress distribution of the four screws of the proximal femoral locking compression plate was average in the experimental group, and the stress distribution of the two screws of triangle truss locking plate was close. Stress distribution of the four screws was not average in the control group. The proximal screw bearing stress was bigger in the control group than in the experimental group (P < 0.05). (2) Open angle under different loads were significantly smaler in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). (3) Maximum load was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the position of damage was different between the two groups. The fixation in the experimental group was reasonable. These findings suggest that various biomechanic properties of the triangle truss locking plate with hyper-short arm were better than that of proximal femoral locking compression plate. Its fixation was reliable. Triangle truss locking plate could effectively reduce or avoid breakage of the plate and screw or coxa vara.

Objective To study the effects of microemulsion/ethosomes on transdermal absorption properties and efficacy of Huoxue Zhitong Cataplasm. Methods The improved Franz diffusion cells were used for the in-vitro permeation experiment with rat skins as the barriers, which was used to evaluate the transdermal absorption properties. In the erxeriment, the contents of paeonol, eugenol and methyl salicylate were used as markers, and detected by ultra performance liquid chromatography to evaluate the transdermal absorption effects. The anti-inflammatory and analgesia activity were evaluated through the writhing plate experiments. Results The cumulative release rate of paeonol in Huoxue Zhitong Cataplasm, Microemulsion Huoxue Zhitong Cataplasm and Ethosomes Huoxue Zhitong Cataplasm were, in order, 65.30%, 61.30%and 60.20%in 24 h;eugenol were, in order, 51.08%, 54.71% and 55.66% in 24 h; methyl salicylate were, in order, 49.20%, 65.17% and 72.15% in 24 h. Furthermore, Microemulsion Huoxue Zhitong Cataplasm high-dose group and Ethosomes Huoxue Zhitong Cataplasm medium-dose group had good effects on reducing the inflammatory exudate of peritoneal capillary and capillary permeability (P<0.05) in animal models. Conclusion Huoxue Zhitong Cataplasm based on microemulsion/ethosomesnano-technology has good transdermal absorption properties and efficacy.

Objective In this paper, the extraction process of Xiaozhong-Zhitong granule (XZG) was investigated. Methods In Process 1, the Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen was extracted with other drugs, and in the process 2, the Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen was crushed and directly used as medicine. Rats were randomly divided into blank group, process 1 group, process 2 group and mixture group.The sample concentration of the process 1 group 1 for the stomach was 2.07 g/ml, and the sample concentration of the process 2 group 1 for the stomach was 1.06 g/ml, and the sample concentration of the mixture group for the stomach was 0.015 g/ml, and blank group gavaged equal volume saline. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of acetic acid writhing test, hot plate test, auricle swelling test and egg white-induced plantar swelling test were evaluated. Results Compared with the blank group after 1, 2, 3, and 4 h after administration, the average writhing number of the mice in the process group 1 and the process 2 group (35.50％ ± 8.06％, 35.00％ ± 7.63％vs. 47.00％ ± 1.45％) significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the auricular swelling degree (46.31％ ± 22.25％, 45.41％ ± 21.43％ vs. 73.89％ ± 15.55％) significantly decreased. And compared with the blank group after 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h after inflammation, the percentage of pain threshold in the first group and the second group increased (P<0.01). While there was no significant difference in the inhibition rate of paw swelling in each group (P>0.05). Conclusions The design of extraction process of XZG was reasonable; when treating swelling and pain, it was better to put the powder of Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H.Chen in XZG.

Objective: To explore the key technique and outcome of transoral radiofrequency ablation microsurgery for early stage of glottic carcinoma with anterior commissure involvement (ACI). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 31 patients, who were diagnosed as early stage glottic carcinoma during January 2010 to March 2016 in ENT Department. According to whether the anterior commissure was involved or not, two groups were divided. There were eleven cases with ACI (stages T1a, T1b, and T2). Twenty cases without ACI (stages Tis, T1a, and T2). All the patients received transoral radiofrequency ablation microsurgery and followed up closely.Only one case received radiotheraphy after surgery. SPSS19.0 software was used to analyze data. Results: The follow-up time was 12-67 months, and the median follow-up time was 30 months. Nine among 11 cases with ACI obtained good oncologic outcomes, initial local recurrence was identified in 2/11 cases, including 2 cases of T2. Two cases ultimately required salvage total laryngectomy. Meanwhile, initial local recurrence was identified in 2/20 cases without ACI, including 1 case of T1a and 1 case of T2. One case underwent elective neck dissection, and another one received salvage total laryngectomy.Compared to the patients without ACI, it seemed that the cases with ACI always accomponied with a little higher initial local recurrence and lower overall laryngealpreservation, but the difference had no significance (P>0.05). Conclusions Transoral radiofrequency ablation microsurgery is an effective treatment for glottic carcinoma with ACI. Its advantages, such as more flexibility and deformability, make it more feasible to operate at the narrow space of anterior commissure assisted with laryngeal endoscopy.Good oncologic outcomes can be obtained by this technique with lower initial local recurrence as well as higher overall laryngeal preservation rate.
