The concentrations of borneol in the serum and brain tissue of rats were determined by gas chromatography. Using brain tissue as a relatively independent system, PHARMFIT and PCNONLIN softwares are applied for the kinetic analysis of the infracorporal process of borneol in order to find out and compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics of borneol in the brain and serum. The results showed that borneol was absorbed very rapidly in the gastrointestinal tract and readily permeates the blood-brain barrier into brain tissue. There was a higher specific value of borneol concentration in the brain and serum. Moreover, the half life of distribution phase of borneol in the brain was three times higher than that in the serum. But the constants of elimination rate of borneol in the brain and serum decreased simultaneously and parallelly, hence the accumulation of borneol in brain will not be found.

Objective:To observe the susceptibility factors of elderly patients with corynebacterium striata in sputum of lower respiratory tract and analyze its clinical therapeutic effect.Methods:The clinical data of 192 elderly inpatients infected with corynebacterium striatum detected in sputum of lower respiratory tract were retrospectively analyzed in Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from January 2019 to June 2021.The detection rate of corynebacterium striata was calculated, and the susceptibility factors and clinical efficacy were compared between the infection group(n=102)and the colonization group(n=90).Results:The detection rate of corynebacterium striata(detected cases / numbers of qualified lower respiratory tract sputum specimen)was 0.8%(72/8976)from January to December 2019, 2.3%(134/5877)from January to December 2020, and 3.0%(121/4 039)from January to June 2021, the difference was statistically significant( χ2=93.93, P<0.01). The detection rates of corynebacterium striatum during three corresponding periods in elderly patients were 0.6%(57/8 976), 1.4%(81/5 877)and 1.9%(78/4 039), respectively, with statistically significant differences( χ2=45.57, P<0.01). The incidences or values of following indexes were higher in infection group than in colonization group: age of patients, admission of intensive care unit, malnutrition, use of hormones, combined use of antibiotics, use of invasive mechanical ventilation, use of fiber bronchoscope, reduced cough reflex, other basic diseases, and so on, but the differences were not statistically significant(all P>0.05). The clinical effective rates were 41.2%(42/102)in the infection group and 48.9%(44/90)in the colonization group, respectively, and the differences was not statistically significant( P>0.05). Only 25 patients(24.5%)in the infected group were treated on corynebacterium striatum according to drug sensitivity results.Among them, the clinical effective rate of the treatment group and the untreated group was 68.0%(17/25)and 32.5%(25/77), respectively, the difference was statistically significant( χ2=9.84, P<0.01). The clinical effective rate of untreated group was lower than that of colonization group, the difference was statistically significant( χ2=4.62, P<0.05). Conclusions:The detection rate of corynebacterium striatum in elderly patients is high, and increases year by year.Patients infected with corynebacterium striatum usually has a variety of susceptibility factors, if not taking effective treatment measures, may have adverse outcomes.In clinical work, it is necessary to pay attention to and reduce the susceptibility factors of corynebacterium striatum, and to correctly interpret the etiological reports, so as to adopt a reasonable and effective therapeutic schedule.

Objective:To investigate the biomechanical properties of a new pediatric femoral neck system in the fixation of pediatric femoral neck fractures with a free fracture fragment.Methods:Ten Sawbones model bones were randomly divided into 2 even groups ( n=5), all of which were made into Delbet Type Ⅱ femoral neck fractures with a Pauwels angle of 70°. A free bone block was removed from the bottom at the proximal end of the fracture to simulate a femoral neck fracture with a free fragment. Group A were fixed with traditional inverted triangle cannulated screws, and group B with a new pediatric femoral neck system. After the 2 groups of specimens were placed on a biomechanical testing machine, each specimen was subjected to a static axial compression test, an anti-torsion test and a cyclic load test in turn. The biomechanical results were compared between groups A and B in aspects of axial compression stiffness, torsional stiffness and maximum displacement difference. Results:The axial compression stiffness [(321.718±5.770) N/mm] and torsional rigidity [(1.448±0.079) N·m/°] in group B were significantly higher than those in group A [(266.722±4.788) N/mm and (1.282±0.023) N·m/°] ( P<0.05). The maximum displacement difference in the cyclic load test in group B [(0.063±0.038) mm] was also significantly smaller than that in group A [(0.117±0.056) mm] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In fixation of pediatric femoral neck fractures with a free fracture fragment, the new pediatric femoral neck system can lead to better biomechanical stability than the traditional inverted triangle cannulated screws.

OBJECTIVE:To study the improvement ef fects of sanggenone C on lipid accumulation in human liver cancer HepG2 cells induced by free fatty acid (FFA). METHODS :HepG2 cells were divided into control group ,model group , fenofibrate group (10 μmol/L),sangerone C low ,medium and high concentration groups (2,4,8 μmol/L). Except for control group,other groups were treated with 1 mmol/L FFA to induce lipid accumulation model ,and administration groups were cultured with relevant medium containing drugs. The lipid accumulation was observed by oil red O staining ,and lipid level and triglyceride (TG) content were also determined. Real-time PCR and Western blot assay were adopted to detect the mRNA and protein expression of PPARα,CPT-1,SREBP-1c,FAS,SIRT1 and PGC- 1α in HepG2 cells. RESULTS :Compared with control group , the nucleus was atrophied significantly and the volume became smaller ,and the number of lipid droplets was significantly increased;the level of lipid ,TG content ,mRNA and protein expression of SREBP- 1c and FAS were significantly increased (P< 0.05 or P<0.01),mRNA and protein expression of PPARα,CPT-1,SIRT1 and PGC- 1α were decreased significantly(P<0.01). Compared with model group ,no obvious nucleus atrophy and normal volume were observed in sangerone C groups ,and the number of lipid droplets was significantly reduced ;the levels of lipid ,TG content ,mRNA and protein expression of PPARα pathway related genes (except for SREBP- 1c protein in saggenone C low concentration group )were significantly reversed (P< 0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :Sangenone C can significantly improve the lipid accumulation of HepG 2 cells,and its mechanism may associated with regulating PPAR α signaling pathway,improving cell lipid oxidation ability and inhibiting lipid synthesis.

Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of humeral medial epicondyle fracture combined with radial neck fracture in children and adolescents.Methods:The clinical data were retro-spectively analyzed of the 12 pediatric patients with fractures of the humeral medial epicondyle plus the radial neck who had been admitted from February 2015 to August 2021 to Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, The Second Hospital of Fuzhou. There were 6 males and 6 females, with an age of (11.1 ± 2.5) years. According to the Papavasiliou classification, the humeral medial epicondyle fractures were type Ⅱ in 7 cases, type Ⅲ in 2 cases and type Ⅳ in 3 cases; according to the Judet classification, the radial neck fractures were type Ⅰ in 3 cases, type Ⅱ in 4 cases and type Ⅲ in 5 cases. Two Judet-Ⅰ radial neck fractures were missed by X-ray exam-ination but diagnosed by CT examination. Of the humeral medial epicondylar fractures, 9 were treated by open reduction and hollow screwing and 3 by closed reduction and Kirschner wiring. Of the radial neck fractures, 8 were treated by closed reduction and elastic intramedullary nailing and 4 conservatively. Fracture healing was followed up by postoperative radiographs. At the last follow-up, the carrying angles were measured, Kim Elbow Function Score (KEPS) was used to evaluate the functional recovery of the injured limb, and related complications were recorded.Results:All the 12 patients were followed up for (40.0±25.6) months. Fractures headed after (6.3±1.2) weeks. At the last follow-up, the carrying angle was 15.5°±2.6° on the injured side and 14.7°±2.0° on the healthy side, showing no significant difference ( P>0.05); KEPS was (96.3±5.3) points on the injured side and (98.8±2.3) points on the healthy side, showing no significant difference either ( P>0.05). No incision infection, bone nonunion, elbow valgus, joint stiffness or other complications were found; the postoperative elbow stability recovered well. Conclusions:As the fracture of the humeral medial epicondyle combined with the radial neck fracture is a special type of injury of straightened elbow during valgus stress in children and adolescents, it is likely to be missed in diagnosis. The goal of treatment is good functional recovery by restoring the articular match and elbow stability.
