Objective To investigate the mechanism,injury characteristics,and early interventions of bilateral femoral shaft fracture.Methods Twenty-five cases of bilateral femoral shaft fracture treated between December 2009 and June 2012 were enrolled in the study.Eighteen patients were males and 7 were females with mean age of 31.2 years (range,17-40 years).Nineteen cases were injured due to traffic accidents and 6 due to the hit by heavy objects.There were 47 sides with closed fracture and 3 sides with open fracture.Intramedullary nailing was performed at 32 sides and plate fixation was used at 18 sides.ISS,blood routine,some blood biochemical items,blood or plasma use,and hospitalization days were measured.Results ISS was (14.6 ± 5.2) points.Preoperative readiness time and hospital stay were (10.1 ± 3.7) days and (28.9 ± 8.4) days respectively.After hospitalization,measured values were (3.0 ± 0.4) × l012/L for red blood cells,(86.0 ± 13.5) g/L for hemogIobin,(47.0 ± 10.6) g/L for total protein,(31.4 ± 6.5) g/L for albumin,(124.1 ± 95.1) U/L for aspartate aminotransferase,(114.2 ± 107.1) U/L for alanine aminotransferase,and (1 848.7 ± 1 044.8) U/L for creatine kinase with significant differences from the reference ranges (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Amount of blood transfused for 23 cases was (1 444.4 t 726.5) ml and plasma transfused for 19 cases was (305.6 ± 98.3) ml before operation.Volume of intra-and post-operative blood transfusion was (2 005.7 ± 1 153.1) ml.Conclusions Stabilization of vital signs predominates the early treatment of bilateral femoral shaft fracture.After the condition is stable,intramedulary nailing or plating can be performed concurrently.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have reported that more and more methods were used to prevent and cure tendon adhesion following tendon rupture by repairing tendinous sheath. Especially, amnion membrane is commonly used to effective prevent and cure adhesion and promote healing of biomembrane; however, the effect on tendon adhesion needs to be further studied. OBJECTIVE: To verify the efficacy of amnion membrane preserved in Honghua injection on preventing and curing tendon adhesion following transplanting into foot flexor tendon. METHODS: Bilateral foot flexor tendons of 32 healthy mature chickens were cut off. By anastomosis, amnion membrane preserved in Honghua injection was transplanted into left foot flexor tendon, considering as experimental group. Right foot flexor tendons were randomly divided into two groups: blank control group, anastomosis was performed alone; positive control group, amnion membrane not preserved in any injections was transplanted. At 4 weeks after fixation by plaster cast, sliding function of tendon was detected using biomechanics, and local samples were obtained for histopathological observation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the experimental group, broken end of left tendon was well healed; fiber tissues were formed surrounding tendon; tissue adhesion was not observed surrounding tendon. Proliferative quantity and adhesion of fiber tissues, as well as content of hydroxyproline in the experimental group were significantly less than in the blank control and positive control groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); total inflexion angle of articulationes digitorum pedis and slipping distance of flexor digitorum profundus tendon in the experimental group were significantly greater than in the blank control and positive control groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The results indicated that amnion membrane preserved in Honghua injection might prevent tendon adhesion and effectively promote tendon healing.

Objective To investigate the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum with different duration periods on renal function.Methods Eighty-nine patients undergoing laparoscopic operations from October 2009 to December 2011 were divided into 3 groups according to operative time.The patients whose operative time was less than 1 hour belonged to group T1,between 1 hour and 2 hours belonged to group T2,and more than 2 hours belonged to group T3.The levels of serum creatinine,urinary creatinine,urinary microalbumin were detected at preoperation as well as 10 minutes,1 hour,24 hours after operation.Results There was no significant difference regarding of the endogenous creatinine clearance rate(Ccr) postoperatively between group T1 and T2 (P ＞ 0.05).The Ccr levels at 10 minutes after operation in group T3 was significant lower than at preoperation(P ＜0.05),and increased gradually at 1 h and 24 h after operation.The ratio of urinary microalbumin to urinary creatinine (A/C) increased at post-operation compared with at pre-operation in all 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between the 3 groups after operation (P ＞ 0.05).The renal function post-operation of patients over 60 years old was as same as that of patients less 60 years old in group T1 (P ＞ 0.05).However,the Ccr level in patients over 60 years old at post-operation was lower than that of patients less 60 years old in group T2 and T3 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Long CO2 pneumoperitoneum could lead to the acute and obvious injury on renal function,especially in the patients over 60 years old.Fortunately,the renal function recovered to be normal gradually in a short time.

Objective:To explore the role of transgelin(TAGLN) in the occurrence and development of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and its possible signal pathway.Methods:One hundred cases of PTC tissues and corresponding paracancerous normal thyroid tissues were collected. Realtime quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze the expression of TAGLN in PTC tissues and corresponding paracancerous normal thyroid tissues. PTC cells were transfected with plasmid and shRNA lentivirus vector respectively to up-regulate or down-regulate the expression of TAGLN in order to detect the effects of them on the proliferation, invasion, and migration by cell proliferation assay(cell counting kit-8, CCK-8)and cell invasion and migration assays (Transwell). The effects of TAGLN on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular-signal regulating kinase (ERK) signal pathway was detected with Western blotting.Results:RT-qPCR showed that there was no difference in the expression of TAGLN mRNA between PTC and corresponding paracancerous normal thyroid tissues ( P>0.05); Western blotting demonstrated that the expression of TAGLN protein in PTC tissues was significantly lower than that in corresponding paracancerous normal thyroid tissues ( P<0.01). Immunohistochemical results revealed that the expression of TAGLN in PTC tissues was significantly lower than that in corresponding paracancerous normal thyroid tissues. Overexpression of TAGLN inhibited the proliferation, invasion, and migration of PTC cells ( P<0.01), but knockdown of TAGLN promoted the proliferation, invasion, and migration of PTC cells ( P<0.01). Overexpression of TAGLN decreased the expression of phosphorylated ERK ( P<0.05), whereas silencing TAGLN increased phosphorylated ERK level in PTC cells( P<0.01). Conclusion:The expression of TAGLN in PTC is significantly decreased. It is related to the occurrence and development of PTC, and its mechanism may be related to MAPK/ERK signal pathway.

Huge improvement has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and more doctors have begun to focus on this subject with the increased level of EUS. Beijing Friendship Hospital has built a comprehensive system for the teaching method and process which include basic information screening of trainee and standardized training of perceiving and operating ability. There were 3 grades training of computer simulation, animal simulation and operation on real patients. During the first month of training, trainees accepted training with computer simulator for at least 100 hours, and underwent animal simulator during the second month, then underwent EUS on the real patients under supervision of instructors during the third month. By doing this, residents can master the technique of treatment and diagnosis of EUS in a safer and better way.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of SPOT (GI Supply, USA), a new carbon-based permanent marker approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in the endoscopic marking for gastrointestinal lesions.Methods:A total of 115 patients with gastrointestinal lesions who underwent endoscopic treatment or surgery in Beijing Friendship Hospital or Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital from April 2019 to November 2019 were enrolled in the study. SPOT was used to mark the lesions, and marking points were found during endoscopic treatment or surgery to calculate the effective marking rate by single-group target value method. Adverse events after marking were recorded, and the changes of blood routine test, liver and kidney functions before and after marking were compared.Results:The effective rate of endoscopic marking with SPOT was 99.13% (114/115). The longest marking time was 57 days. There was no puncture of intestinal wall or injection into abdominal cavity during the marking process. One patient developed mild fever after marking. The incidence of adverse events was 23.48% (27/115), which were all unrelated to the test equipment. There was no significant difference in blood routine tests or liver and kidney functions before and after marking ( P>0.05). Conclusion:SPOT produced by GI Supply can effectively mark gastrointestinal lesions without serious adverse events, which meets the requirements of clinical use.
