Objective To study the diagnostic value of high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) on the obstruction of proximal deferent duct. Methods One hundred and twenty-three patients with scrotal diseases (aged 23-67 years old) were examined by CDU with 5-10 MHz transducer. Among the cases, infertility was in 88, vasoligation in 8, and epididymal nodes in 27. The sonographic appearances of the obstruction of the deferent duct were analysed, compared with that of normal deferent duct. Results Of the 123 cases, the obstruction of the deferent duct was in 72, included absence of deferent duct in 6, epididymal malformation in 9, epididymitis in 37, epididymal neoplasms in 5, and dilatation of testic rete and testic efferent duct in 3. Twenty-two patients underwent surgery, confirmed the sonographic appearances of the obstruction of proximal deferent duct. Conclusions Obstruction of proximal deferent duct could be assessed by high-frequency CDU. It is helpful for distinguishing the causes of the obstruction of proximal deferent duct and choosing their therapy scheme.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of Ender nail fixation in the management of pediatric femoral shaft fractures. Methods A total of 24 children with femoral shaft fracture underwent small incision Ender nail internal fixation followed by 4 weeks of monolateral hip spica-cast immobilization. Results Follow-up observations for 6~24 months revealed no non-union or delayed union. The affected limbs were found within 1 cm shorter or longer than the contralateral in 4 cases. None became lame, and the functions of lower limbs were completely recovered. Conclusions So far as indications and contra-indications of Ender nail fixation are strictly followed, this treatment for femoral shaft fractures in children of age 5~10 years gives characters of small incision, anatomic reduction, unimpaired periosteum, short hospital stay, and quick functional recovery.

[Objective]To discuss the application of the short reconstruction intramedullary nail in treating intertrochanteric fracture.[Method]From Jan 2000 to Aug 2004,35 patients(14 males and 21 females)with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated by short reconstruction intramedullary nail.Various data were analyzed for evaluating the characteristics and curative effect.[Result]The mean incision length was 3.5 cm,the average duration of operation and intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy was 65 min and 0.16 min,respectively.The mean blood loss was 50 ml.None of the complications occurred postoperatively,including nonunion,deep venous thrombosis or infection of the incision etc.except only 1 malunion due to inappropriate surgical skill.Internal fixation loosening didn't appear in 97% of the patients.[Conclusion]Using short reconstruction intramedullary nail to treat intertrochanteric fracture can obtain satisfing outcomes of different concerns,such as time-saving,small incision,few complications,quick recovery and so on,which indicates that it should be the first choice for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture.

Objective To research the relationship between high temperature and population death in a district in Nanjing. Methods Using Microsoft Excel 2000 and SAS 8.0 software, firstly, respectively analyzed the impact of daily highest and lowest temperature from 1994 to 2002 on daily death in summer and winter, then studied the relationship between daily highest temperature and total death, age-specific and sex-specific death in summer of 1998 based on the study of the climate characteristic of Nanjing. Results In summer, the highest temperature which could reach to 40.7℃ emerged mostly in July and August, and when the highest temperature was higher than 35℃, mortality increased obviously as the temperature increasing. The relative humidity was more than 70% in most time of the year round. In summer of 1998, the excessive death on hot days accounted for 11.3% in which the old people occupied the majority, and two death peak appeared in July and August, the former higher than the latter. Conclusion The high temperature and high humidity may obviously increase mortality, especially in the old people, in Nanjing.

Objective: To observe the changes of plasma levels of omentin-1 and vaspin in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Our research included in 2 groups: ACS group, the patients with conifrmed diagnosis in our hospital from 2013-05 to 2013-09,n=100 including 52 male, 48 female and Control group, the patients with simultaneous coronary angiography excluded CAD,n=88. Plasma levels of omentin-1 and vaspin were examined by ELISA and the differences were compared between 2 groups. Results: Plasma levels of omentin-1 and vaspin in ACS group were lower than Control group (t=2.718,P<0.05) and (t=2.416,P<0.05). Correlation analysis presented that in ACS group, omentin-1 level was negatively related to total cholesterol (TC) (r=-0.702,P<0.05) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (r=-0.714,P<0.05); vaspin was negatively related to TC (r=-0.655, P<0.05) and CRP (r=-0.587,P<0.05); Omentin-1 was positively related to vaspin (r=0.643,P<0.05). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that plasma levels of omentin-1 and vaspin might be affected by CRP, TC and LDL-C. Conclusion: ACS patients had decreased plasma levels of omentin-1 and vaspin; in addition, omentin-1 and vaspin might be involved in lipid metabolism.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane preconditioning on the expression of pulmonary angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) mRNA in lung tissues during lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Fifty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-320 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =18 each):sham operation group (group S),I/R group and sevoflurane preconditioning group (group SP).The animals were anesthetized,tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated.Lung I/R was induced by clamping the left pulmonary hilum for 45 min followed by 120 min reperfusion in groups I/R and SP.While the left pulmonary hilum was only isolated but not ligated in group S.2.1％ sevoflurane was inhaled for 30 min,and lung I/R was induced 10 min after the end of inhalation in group SP.Six rats in each group were chosen at 30,60 and 120 min of reperfusion and sacrificed,lungs were removed for determination of wet/dry lung weight (W/D) ratio,MPO activity (by colorimetric method) and the expression of ACE mRNA (by RT-PCR) and for microscopic examination in lung tissues.Results Compared with group S,the W/D ratio,MPO activity and expression of ACE mRNA were significantly increased in groups I/R and SP (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group I/R,the W/D ratio,MPO activity and expression of ACE mRNA were significantly decreased in group SP (P ＜ 0.05).Microscopic examination showed that the pathologic changes were significantly attenuated in group SP compared with group I/R.Conclusion Sevoflurane preconditioning can reduce lung I/R injury through downing-regulating the expression of ACE mRNA in rats.
