Objective To study the application value of steelwire perforation and cerclage in treatment of comminuted clavicular fracture. Methods 32 patients with comminuted clavicular fracture were treated with steelwire perforation and cerclage. Two holes were made at the lateral margin at the ends of fractured clavicle, then a steel wire of 0.6mm in diameter passed through them and fixed the fracture. The bone fragments were fixed either with perforation or with cerclage according to their size and shape. Results The mean follow up time was 59 months. All the 32 cases of fracture healed within expected time. The function of the shoulder joints recovered well, with the excellent and good rate being 90.6% . Conclusion The steelwire perforation and cerclage bears advantages of being less traumatic, providing stable fixation, promoting fracture healing and making the secondary operation easy.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at the six mind-calming points plus the four gate points in treating migraine.Method Totally 128 eligible migraine patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 64 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture at the six mind-calming points plus the four gate points, while the control group was by ordinary acupuncture. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), headache attack frequency, headache duration, headache intensity, complicated symptoms, Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were observed before and after treatment and in the follow-up study.Result The NRS scores and the headache symptoms and functions scores were significantly changed respectively after 2-week and 4-week treatment in both groups (P<0.01,P<0.05). The NRS score, headache duration, and headache intensity in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group after 4-week treatment and in the follow-up study (P<0.05,P<0.01). The SDS and SAS scores were significantly changed after 2-week and 4-week treatments as well as in the follow-up study in the treatment group (P<0.01). The SDS and SAS scores were significantly changed after 4-week treatment in the control group (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing the SDS and SAS scores between the two groups after 2-week and 4-week treatment as well as in the follow-up study (P<0.05,P<0.01). In the treatment group, the SDS and SAS scores in the follow-up study were significantly different from that after 2-week treatment (P<0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture at the six mind-calming points plus the four gate points is an effective method in treating migraine, and it can reduce headache intensity, and improve the anxiety and depression state.

Objective To observe the inhibition of amikacin in vitro on platelet aggregation and blood coagulation tests, and to study its effects on hemostasis and the related mechanisms.Methods Plateletrich plasma and platelet-poor plasma from donors were mixed with different concentration of amikacin, which was divided into four groups:0 mg/L, 30 mg/L, 91 mg/L and 910 mg/L group.The maximial ratio of platelet aggregation induced by ADP were measured with Platelet Aggregation Analyzer.The expression levels of P-selectin, GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a and Fg-R were determined with Flow Cytometer.The PT, APTT, TT and Fg of platelet-poor plasma were detected with Blood Coagulation Analyzer. The four concentration of amikacin mentioned above and two anticoagulants (62.5 U/ml of sodium heparin and 109 mmol/L of sodium citrate)were interacted with fresh whole blood, in which the blood CT and plasma Ca2+ were detected. Blood samples were collected from 10 patients with acute lower respiratory tract infection before and 30 minutes after routine amikcin treatment respectively.The maximial ratio of platelet aggregation, the expression levels of P-selectin, GPⅡ b/Ⅲa and Fg-R induced by ADP were measured; while PT, APTT, CT and plasma Ca2+ were determined.Results At 30 mg/L of amikacin group, the maximal ratios of platelet aggregation (65.8±3.9)%, the expression levels of P-selectin (9.2 ± 1.0)% and Fg-R (12.6 ± 1.7)% were statistically lower than those [(88.0 ±4.6%, (16.1 ± 1.3)% and (31.0 ±2.5)%]at 0 mg/L of amikacin group ( t = 9.442,8.432,9.993,P ＜ 0.01 ).At 30 mg/L of amikacin group, the APTT (80.5 ±6.8) s and CT ( 857 ± 66) s were significantly higher than those [(33.0 ± 3.6) s and (447 ± 35 ) s] at 0 mg/L of amikacin group ( t = 11.312, 13.211, P ＜ 0.01 ). There was a negative correlation between amikacin concentration and maximial ratio of platelet aggregation ( r = - 0.832, P ＜ 0.05 ), but a positive correlation between amikacin concentration and inhibitory rates of platelet aggregation ( r = 0.939, P ＜0.05) was observed, as well as APTT (r ＞0.870, P＜0.05).At 30 mg/L, 91 mg/L, and 910 mg/L of amikacin groups, the P-selectin and Fg-R expression were remarkably inhibited with a dose-dependent manner, the CT was notably enhanced [Fwithin subjects =21.44, 26.24, ( ＞29.81 ), P ＜0.01].At 0 mg/L,30 mg/L, 91 mg/L and 910 mg/L of amikacin groups, the PT values were ( 14.7 ± 1.9) s, ( 15.2 ± 1.7) s,(15.6±1.5) s and (22.1 ±2.1) s, respectively (F=8.21,P＜0.05), but there was no markeddifference for the levels of GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a, TT, Fg and plasma Ca2+ among the four groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).After 30 minutes of amikacin treatment, the maximial ratio of platelet aggregation (51.6 ± 10.1)%, the expression levels of P-selectin (6.8 ± 1.8) % and Fg-R ( 20.1 ± 5.8 ) % were significantly lower than those [(66.8 ± 11.4)%, ( 10.9 ±3.1 )% and (28.5 ±7.4)%] before amikacin treatment, but APTT (49.8 ±5.9) s and CT (660 ±59) s were remarkably higher than those [(26.9 ±3.8) s and (410 ±45) s] before amikacin treatment, respectively ( t = 5.456,8.875,7.423,10.012,11.322, P ＜ 0.01 ), while the GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a expression, PT and Ca2+ concentration had no significant changes ( P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions There are inhibitory effects of amikacin on platelet aggregation mainly through the inhibition of both fibrinogen receptor activation and secretion reaction of activated platelet. Amikacin may also inhibit pathway of coagulation system factor to prevent blood coagulation.Therefore, risk of hemorrhage may be investigated in the patients with amikacin for anti-infection treatment.

Clinical data of 13 patients with primary pulmonary lymphoma(PPL),treated in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January 1999 to December 2009,were retrospectively reviewed.There were 8 patients with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT)marginal zone lymphoma,2 patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma,1 patient with NK/T cell lymphoma,1 patient with nodular sclerosis Hodgkin's lymphoma,and 1 patients with lymphocytic predominance Hodgkin's lymphoma.The main clinical symptoms were cough,fever,night sweat and weight loss.Two patients did not have any symptoms.Pulmonary consolidation shadows and multiple nodules were the main findings of CT scan.An air bronchogram was often seen in the consolidation imaging.The overall 5-year survival rate was 9/13 for all patients;while that was 7/8 for MALT marginal gone lymphoma.

Objective To investigate the correlated factors of pulmonary metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),so as to provide theoretical evidences for the prevention and treatment.Methods The clinical data of 862 patients with HCC who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2008 to March 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 107 patients with pulmonary metastasis.Factors including serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) level,serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) level,hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection,presence and treatment of intrahepatic tumor were analyzed to screen out relevant factors of pulmonary infection of HCC.Univariate and multivariate COX regression model analysis were performed for data analysis.Results The results of univariate analysis showed that high level of AFP (≥400 μg/L),ultra-high level of GGT (≥ 150 U/L),presence of HBV infection,the number of intrahepatic tumors ≥2,no radical resection (or radiofrequency ablation) for intrahepatic tumors,combining with tumor thrombi in the vessels,lymph node metastasis were risk factors of pulmonary metastasis of HCC (RR =1.986,3.653,0.365,3.675,0.252,0.379,0.352,P ＜ 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that high level of AFP (≥400 μg/L),HBV infection,the number of intrahepatic tumors ≥2,no radical resection (or radiofrequency ablation) for intrahepatic tumors,combining with tumor thrombi in the vessels were risk factors of pulmonary metastasis of HCC (RR =2.391,3.462,3.425,3.396,2.418,0.638,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions AFP ≥400 μg/L,HBV infection,the number of intrahepatic tumors ≥ 2,no radical resection (or radiofrequency ablation),tumor thrombi in the vessels and lymph node metastasis are risk factors of pulmonary metastasis of HCC.Anti-hepatitis virus treatment and early treatment are helpful for the prevention and treatment.

Revascularization technique is a favorable approach to solve the insufficient compensation of cerebral blood flow for intractable intracranial aneurysms that needed to occlude parent arteries.With the development microsurgical technique and the improving of patency rate of vasotransplantation,the efficacy of revascularization for the treatment of intractable intracranial aneurysms is also improving constantly.

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the risk factors involved in local failure following radiotherapy and chemotherapy to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHOD: A retrospective analysis was carried out to review the histopathological data from 308 NPC patients who recieved medical treatment between 2004 and 2006. The incidence and the risk factor for local treatment failure were evaluated in a model that included the following factors: sex, age, T and N staging, histological grade of primary tumor, presence of cervical lymph node metastasis, size and laterals of positive neck nodes, levels involved, ways of radiation and condition of concurrent chemotherapy. Univariate chi2 test and multivariate stepwise logistic regression model were used for the analysis. Statistical analysis of survival of patients with local residues and recurrence was performed using Kaplan-Meier method. RESULT: Ninty-three cases (30.2%) presented local residues and recurrence in 308 patients of nasopharyngeal carcinomas. In the univariate analysis, it was confirmed that the following variables correlated to local failure, i. e., T staging (P < 0.01), N staging (P < 0.01), presence of cervical lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05), size and laterals of positive neck nodes (P < 0.05, respectively). In the multivariate analysis, the most ignificant risk factors for local failure were the T staging only. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that overall survival rates of 71 NPC patients with local residues and recurrence who received re-treatment were 77.2% at 1 year, 40.4% at 3 years, 22.4% at 5 years, respectively. CONCLUSION T staging is the key risk factors in determining the development of local failure following radiotherapy or chemotherapy in NPC patients. Patients with primary tumor infiltrating bone have the higher risk of developing local residues and recurrence. Retreatment to the patients suffering from local failure can imrove survival rates.
