Objective To compare the application value and the clinical curative effect of longitudinal incision and tarsal sinus minimal-ly invasive approach in treatment of patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures. Methods A retrospective statistical analysis was made by collecting and comparing the clinical data of 67 patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures from March 2008 to March 2012,and they were divided into the longitudinal incision minimally invasive approach group ( ZW group,36 patients,37 feet) and the tarsal sinus minimally invasive approach group ( FW group,31 patients,33 feet) . The Bohler angle, Gissane angle before and after operation,complications healing time,and AOFAS scores were compared. Results The healing time,Bohler angle,Gissane angle of ZW group and other indicators were better than those of the FW group,but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05). The infection of incision and compli-cations in ZW group was obviously less than those of the FW group (P<0. 05). According to the AOFAS scoring system,ZW group scored 82. 49 points while FW group scored 86. 53 points,which indicated no statistical significance (P>0. 05). Conclusion The two kinds of treatments are of no obvious difference,but the longitudinal small incision minimally invasive approach could receive better effect in terms of soft tissue damage,healing time,and postoperative complications.

There is significant evidence to show that many neurosurgical patients with hyponatremia, who were previously diagnosed with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion(SIADH), actually have cerebral salt wasting syndrome(CSWS). The critical difference between SIADH and CSWS is that CSWS involves renal salt loss leading to hyponatremia and volume loss, whereas SIADH is a euvolemic or hypervolemic condition. The primary treatment for CSWS is water and salt replacement. The mechanisms underlying CSWS are not understood but may involve ANP or other natriuretic factors and direct neural influence on renal function.

Neuromuscular diseases is one of the difficulties in neurology teaching and clinical practice. We chose the typical cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome and progressive muscular dystrophy as case based study, and evaluated the effect of teaching. The result shows that application of case base study can help medical students to enhance their learning interests and cultivate their good clinical thinking and then to meet the requirements of the teaching syllabus. So it is worth improving and promoting in clinical practice teaching.

Objective To probe the biological effect of multiple intraepithelial injections of recombinant adenovirus-p53(rAd-p53)on inducing the apoptosis in patients with dysplastic oral leukoplakia.Methods 18 patients clinically and histopathologically diagnosed as dysplastic oral leukoplakia were recruited for this study.Intraepithelial injections of rAd-p53 were administered.Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the protein expression of p53 and bcl-2.TUNEL was performed to detect apoptotic cells.Results In the post-treatment patients,p53 protein expression were significantly enhanced(100 ％,18/18),yet bcl-2 protein presented low expression(17 ％,3/18).Statistical analysis revealed the expression of p53 protein had a negative correlation with that of bcl-2 protein(r =-0.837,P ＜ 0.01).15 post-treatment samples (83 ％)were detected obvious apoptotic cells,especially in the samples that were strong p53-positive(r =0.684,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Intraepithelial injections of rAd-p53 can induce apoptosis for patients with dysplastic oral leukoplakia.It may be a promising treatment for oral leukoplakia.

Objective To report the clinical,electrophysiological and genetic features in a family with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1D (CMT1 D).Methods The proband,a 53-year-old man who was found with pes cavus when he was 15 years old,presented with weakness in both lower limbs at the age of 37,aggravated and numbness in legs at the age of 50.His daughter was confirmed pes cavus in her teens and weakness in both lower limbs at the age of 18.Electrophysiology and next generation sequencing were performed in the proband.Results Electrophysiological results of the proband showed demyelinating change in motor and sensory nerves.Latency prolongation was found in bilateral waves Ⅲ,V and abnormal differentiation in bilateral waves Ⅰ of brainstem auditory evoked potential,while both interpeak latencics of Ⅲ-Ⅴ were normal.DNA analysis revealed a heterozygous 1141C ＞ T mutation in exon 1 of early growth response 2 (EGR2) gene in both of the proband and his daughter.Conclusions The onset age of Arg381Cys mutation in EGR2 gene could be at juvenile with weakness in both lower limbs.The phenotype of CMT1D is mild and progressive slowly.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of inflammation-related factors [white blood cell count,erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),and C-reactive protein] in predicting delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.Methods The aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in 217 cases according to whether the occurrence of delayed cerebral ischemia were divided into 2 groups:delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) group (n =69) and non DCI group (n =148).A retrospective analysis of 217 cases of patients was performed with inflammation-related factors,and its relationship with clinical prognosis of patients with DCI was also analyzed.Results The inflammation-related factors (WBC count,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,and C-reactive protein) in DCI group were significantly higher than those in non DCI group with a statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The follow-up results showed that there were 33 patients died,12 cases of plant survival,and 12 patients with severe disability in DCI group,which had a statistically significant difference relative to non DCI group (P ＜ 0.05).Spearman analysis showed that there was a significantly negative relationship between inflammation-related factors (white blood cell count,ESR,C-reactive protein) and glasgow prognostic score (GOS) in DCI group(r =-0.877,-0.683,-0.841,P ＜0.05).Conclusions The inflammation-related factors can be used as one of method to predict delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥6.5％ for diabetes in Chinese adults with oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) as the reference standard.Methods Major databases were searched to get all diagnostic tests with HbA1c ≥ 6.5％ for diabetes in Chinese adults.QUADAS items were used to evaluate the quality of the eligible studies.Meta-disc software was used to perform comprehensive quantitative assessment for all included studies and summary ROC (SROC) curve were drawn.Results A total of 11 studies were included.The outcomes of the diagnostic value with HbA1c ≥6.5％ were as the following:pooled sensitivity 0.62 (95％ CI:0.60-0.64),pooled specificity 0.96 (95％ CI:0.95-0.96),diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) 40.25 (95％ CI:20.79-77.95) and AUCSROC 0.7702 (sx =0.0636).Conclusions The diagnostic specificity is pretty high for the diagnostic test with HbA1c ≥6.5％,while sensitivity is low.Combination of HbA1c and glucose tests is needed to reduce the missed diagnosis rate.

Objective To study the anatomic landmarks of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) in minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT), and to evaluate the operative skills to avoid nerve injury. Methods 106 patients were enrolled in the study dated between August 2008 and August 2010, in which 8 patients were converted to the conventional thyroidectomy. Intraoperative anatomic landmarks for location of RLN were the gap between trachea and carotid artery (GTC), as well as the middle and posterior portion of tracheal wall. Results 98 RLN were at risk, and 97 (98.98 %) nerves were recognized by means of two landmarks. 1 nerve failed to locate which was non-recurrent laryngeal nerve. Temporary RLN paralysis happened to 1 nerve(1.02 %), and no permanent RLN paralysis appeared. Conclusion GTC combined with middle and posterior portion of tracheal wall are safe and effective anatomic landmarks to locate RLN in MIVAT.

Objective To evaluate the follow-up diagnostic value of 3 T magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) after intracranial aneurysm coil embolization.Methods The databases such as PubMed,EMbase,Cochrane Library,CBM,CNKI and VIP were retrieved.According to the inclusion criteria of diagnostic tests,the diagnostic tests of the follow-up diagnostic value about MRA were screened after intracranial aneurysm coil embolization.The methodological quality included in the studies was evaluated using QUADAS items and the meta-analysis was conducted using Meta-Disc 1.4 software.The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn and the area under the curve was calculated.The residual sensitivity and specificity diagnosed by MRA after intracranial aneurysm embolization were evaluated.Results A total of 6 studies were included,including 253 patients.The pooled sensitivity and specificity in 3 T MRA diagnosing residual intracranial aneurysms were 0.915 (95％ confidence interval [ CI]0.850 - 0.959) and 0.847 (95％ CI 0.787 - 0.896) respectively.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.951,Q =0.892.Conclusions 3 T TOF MRA can be used as an effective and feasible imaging follow-up method after embolization of intracranial aneurysms,however,because of the methodological limitations,the high-quality research is needed to further validate the application value of the MRA during follow-up after intracranial aneurysm embolization.
