BACKGROUND:The incidence of femoral head necrosis after internalfixation in femoral neck fracture is at highlevel, but the risk factors are stil under discussion. OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively propose and analyze the relative risk factors of femoral head necrosis after internal fixationwithfemoral neck fracture in patients younger than60years old. METHODS:Data from199 patients with femoral neck fractures,younger than60years,undergoingclosed reduction and internal fixation were analyzed retrospectively.Seven factors including age, sex, body mass index, Garden classification, fracture seasons, reduction quality and weight-bearing time after internal fixation were statisticalyanalyzedto evaluate their correlation with femoral head necrosis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The incidence of femoral head necrosis was 13.1%amongthe199 cases. Body mass index, Garden classification, fracture seasons, reduction quality were significantly associated with femoral head necrosis. The age, sex and weight-bearing time wereinsignificantly associated with femoral head necrosis. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, Garden classification, reduction quality and fracture seasons (winterversussummer) hadoverteffectson development of femoral head necrosis. These results suggest that Garden classification and reduction quality make an important effect on the healing of femoral neck fracture. In addition, fracture in winter may be the risk factor of the femoral head necrosis after internal fixation in femoral neck fracture.

BACKGROUND: Patient subjective satisfaction is of great significance for the clinical use of implant denture.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the patient satisfaction with single or bridge crown for repair of consecutive missing posterior teeth in the maxilla.METHODS: We selected 203 patients with consecutive missing of maxillary first and second molar teeth, who had received single (n=99) or bridge (n=104) crown for implant restoration 1 year ago. All patients were surveyed with a subjective satisfaction questionnaire and visual analogue scale.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in sex and age (35-64 years) between the two groups. Food impaction ratio and crown off ratio were higher in the bridge crown group than the single crown group.Noticeably, most patients did not have the habit of using dental floss. The overall satisfaction scores were 88.96% in the single crown group and 85.32% in the bridge crown group, respectively. Four indexes with less than 80 scores in the two groups were that I dare to use the implant teeth to bite hard food, my implant teeth are easily cleaned, it takes me less time to clean my implant teeth than natural teeth, and I think the dental implant price is acceptable. Results from the analysis of variance showed that food impaction influenced chewing effect (P=0.047), made the use of dental floss difficult (P=0.031), made patients discomfort (P=0.038), and the use of dental floss could enhance the cleaning effect on dental implant (P=0.019), and largely reduced brushing bleeding (P=0.029). In conclusion, patients with missing maxillary posterior teeth can obtain higher satisfaction after single crown or bridge crown repair. However, food impaction and crown off become more serious after repair with bridge crown, while the repair with single crown exhibits better performance.

Objective To investigate the changes of the activity and the distribution of the rat cardiac calcineurin (CaN) which is the signalling molecule of the hypertrophy induced by the external aldosterone(Ald), and to detect the mechanism of the regulation of CaN. Methods 21 male wister rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: group Ald(7 rats), treated with Ald 18?g/d, peritoneal injection (i p) for 4 weeks; group spironolactone (spiron) (7 rats), treated with Ald and with spiron 20mg?kg -1 ?d -1 oral for 4 weeks; and group control (7 rats). The plasma concentrations of Ald, angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)and endothelin(ET), blood levels of NO, the tissue activity of the CaN and distribution of CaN A? in the myocardium of the left ventricle, were detected in the rats by the radioimmunoassay , by the nitrate assay, by the chromophoric assay and by the immunohistochemistry, respectively. Results The concentration of the plasma Ald increased by 1 62 times, the blood NO - 3 concentration was deceased, the ratio of Ald over NO - 3( Ald/ NO - 3) increased by 2 95 times, and the cardiac tissue levels of CaN activity was were 1 47 times higher, in the rats treated with ald than in the normotensive rats. CaN A? distributed over cardiac cytoplasm, and the positive dyeing of the local CaN A? in the cytoplasm was thick near the cell membrane in the rats treated with Ald. The treatment with spiron could decreased the blood levels of the AngII?Ald/ NO - 3?ET/NO - 3?AngII/ NO - 3 and the tissue activity of myocardial CaN, positive dyeing of the local CaN A? in the cytoplasm, and increased blood NO - 3 concentration. Conclusion The aldosterone may be the main stimuli factor which can damage the balance of the blood active factors, and then make a novel cardiac hypertrophic signalling molecule calcineurin activated and redistributed in the cytoplasm of the rat left ventricular myocardium

Objective To investigate the effects of local application of NGF combined with Insulin on wound healing with Ⅱ degree deep scald and the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in diabetic rats. Methods 60 male Wistar rats were used in the study by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Deep partial thickness scalding was engendered on the back of the rats after one month. Then these rats were random divided into group B (scalding of the rats with diabetes, n = 15), C (insulin control, n = 15), D ( NGF control, n = 15) and E ( NGF and insulin supplementation, n = 15). And group A ( nomal control,n = 15) was created by normal rats of partial thickness scalding. The wound area, wound healing rate, and grey of HIF-1α and VEGF immunohistochemistry staining were determined on the 3rd, 7th, 15th, and 21st day post scalding days (PSDs). Results Compared to those in groups A, B, C and D, the wound healing rate in group E increased significantly since the 7th PSD [(25.33 ± 2. 32 ) %, P < 0.05]. The wound healing rate in group C and D increased significantly compared with group B [( 16. 68 ± 1.95 ) %, ( 18.29±1. 70)%, P <0.05]. Compared to group A, the group D increased significantly since the 15th PSD [(54. 84 ±3.60)%, P <0. 05]. The expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in group E began to increase slower than other groups after the 7th day ( P <0. 05 ). Conclusion Local application of NGF combined with Insulin could be beneficial to the regeneration of capillary vessel in the burn wounds of the rats with diabetes,as well as to accelerate wound healing by redress anoxia and decrease the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF.
