BACKGROUND: The inflammatory reaction occurs following implantation of cardiovascular stent with manifestations of the activation of blood coagulation system and dramatically increasing of inflammatory markers serum C-reactive protein. OBJECTIVE: To explore the changes of inflammatory reaction and C-reactive protein in coronary artery disease patients following cardiovascular stent implantation.METHODS: A computer-based online search of CNKI (1990/2009) and PubMed databases (1990/2009) was performed for related articles with the key words "cardiovascular stent, C-reactive protein" in Chinese and "cardiovascular stent on plasma, C-reactive protein" in English.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on the metal stents, drug-eluting stents can transfer the active drugs to the damaged vessels, release them into the vascular wall and inhibit the in-stent restenosis, Main drugs of anti-inflammatory drug-eluting stent include dexamethasone and methylprednisolone. Main drugs of anti-migratory and anti-proliferative drug-eluting stent includerapamycin, paclitaxel and actinomycin D. Main drugs of supporting intima concrescence stent include estradiol. Coronary artery stents implantation can induce and aggravate local inflammation reaction, which have important infection for vascular endodermis hyperplasia and restenosis occurrence. Some impressible index for inflammation reaction, such as levels of C-reactive protein,have predictive value for vascular events following the coronary artery stents implantation. A significant increase in plasma C-reactive protein after coronary stenting has been observed following stent implantation. Therefore, understanding of inflammatory reaction and C-reactive protein, as well as cytokine changes is important for preventing restenosis, early treatment of restenosis, as well as improving treatment effect.

Objective To explore the efficacy of closed reduction and inter na l fixation of cannulated screws by minimally invasive procedure in management of tibial plateau fractures. Methods From October 1999 to January 2002, 42 patient s with tibial plateau fractures, which were 29 males and 13 females with an aver age age of 41 years ranging from 26 to 67 years, were treated surgically in our hospital. According to Schatzker system, the fractures were diagnosed as type Ⅰ in 9, type Ⅱ in 5, type Ⅲ in 13, type Ⅳ in 3, type Ⅴ in 6 and type Ⅵ in 6. There was open fracture in 5, and closed fracture in 37. The fracture fragments of tibial plateau were reduced with closed manipulation or reduced assisted by minimally invasive procedure. The later by minimally invasive procedure included two kinds of reductions, one of which was reduction assisted by Kirschner pin t hat was introduced percutaneously into the larger fragment; the other was reduct ion assisted by a bone tamper that was introduced through a small incision into the cortical window beneath the depressed articular surface. Fixation was achiev ed using percutaneous 6.5 mm cannulated screws or combination of the cannulated screws and Bastiani external frame in unstable fractures. Results Of 42 patients , 37 were followed up from 6 to 30 months (average, 15 months). All 37 fractures were united within 12 weeks postoperatively. The mechanical axis of affected li mb and the stability of affected knee joint were restored in the patients. Accor ding to Sanders score for functional results of knee joint, 13 patients were rat ed as excellent, 20 good, and 4 fair. Anatomical reduction was identified while the stepping of articular surface after reduction was less than 2 mm. In 21 pati ents with anatomical reduction, the functional results were excellent in 8, good in 11, and fair in 2. However, in 16 patients without anatomical reduction, the functional results were excellent in 5, good in 9, and fair in 2. There was sig nificant difference between the two groups on functional results. There were no postoperative complications such as infections and neurovascular bundle. Conclus ion Closed reduction and fixation through minimally invasive procedure has provi ded satisfied results in tibial plateau fractures such as less complications, ex cellent mechanical axis restoration, and ideal functional recovery.

[Objective]To explore the operative techniques of open reduction and internal fixation of displaced radial head fractures in adults. [Methods]Twenty-six cases of radial head fractures had been treated with open reduction and internal fixation. According to Mason classification, 16 fractures were type II, 6 were type III and 4 were type IV. Operative exposures of radial head were performed through the Kocher approach in 22 cases, and through a midline posterior skin incision in 4 cases in order to repair concomitant fracture of proximal ulna. After being reduced, fractures of radial head were fixed with mini-fragment plate and screw which were placed in "safe zone" not to impinge on the proximal radioulnar joint with forearm rotation.[Results]At a mean follow-up of 32 months, all fractures had united. There was no patient who suffered from wound infection or injury to posterior interosseous nerve. According to the Broberg and Morrey functional elbow index, the outcome were excellent in 17 patients, good in 9.[Conclusion]Open reduction and internal fixation of displaced radial head fractures may get satisfying outcomes, with successful performing of the requirements below: (1) sustaining lateral ulnar collateral ligament; (2) avoiding injury to posterior inerosseous nerve; (3) getting anatomic reduction; (4) stably fixing fractures without impinging on joint.

Objective To analyze the effect of acromio-humeral interval on the occurrence of subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) after the clinical application of clavicular hook plate in acromioclavicular joint dislocation (Tossy Ⅲ). Methods From July 2005 to October 2008, 63 cases of acromioclavicular joint dislocation (Tossy Ⅲ) were treated with clavicular hook plate. There were 48 males and 15 females with an average age of 33.6 years (range, 21-53 years). The relationship of the acromio-humeral interval (AHI)were analysed between the two groups by X-ray measurement. The AHI and plate-humeral interval (PHI)were measured on X-ray film to detect difference between the two groups. Results After the operation, all t he 63 cases were divided into two groups according the occurrence of SIS. There were 14 cases in the group of SIS and 49 cases in the group without SIS. The mean follow-up was 12.2 (average, 6-15) months.The average AHI of was (8.5±2.1) mm and (9.7±2.6) mm in the group of SIS and the group without SIS respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant. The average PHI of the group of SIS and the group without SIS was (6.1±2.8) mm and (6.8±2.4) mm respectively. There was no difference between the two groups. After removal of the clavicular hook plate, the clinical sign disappeared in the group of SIS. According the Karlsson scoring system, the excellent and good rate of the shoulder function was 100%. Conclusion The occurrence of SIS after the clinical application of clavicular hook plate has related to the width of the subacromial interval. The syndrome could be treated by the removal of clavicular hook plate.

Objective To explore the attentional biases in individuals with different types of obsessivecompulsive symptom and the correlations between the attentional bias of high obsessive compulsive symptom (HOC) and symptoms. Methods 22 individuals with HOC and 38 individuals with low obsessive compulsive (LOC) symptom completed the Chinese Emotional Stroop task that assessed the attentional bias. Comparisons were made between HOC and LOC and in different types of HOC, and the correlations between the attentional bias of HOC and symptom severity scores were searched for. Results The comparison between HOC and LOC on the reaction time of neutral, negative and disgust-related words were not significant. The contamination/washing subtype in HOC showed faster reaction time on negative and disgust-related words compared to that of neutral words,and its attentional bias exhibited significant correlation with symptom severity scores( r= -0. 648, P=0. 031 ). Conclusion Such information point out the contamination/washing subtype may have a different neural mechanism compared to the other subtypes of OCD.

Objective To explore the characteristic and clinical meaning of myocardial bridge in patients with multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) coronary angiography.Methods 875 patients with suspected or diagnosed coronary artery disease were studied with MSCT coronary angiography,579 cases were male and 296 cases were female,ranged from 30~87 years old in age with average of 60 years old.The heart was scanned with retrospectively ECG-gated,reconstruction from phase for all original tomographic source images at 30%~40% R-R phase interval according to heart rate ≥75 bpm and at 40%~50% R-R phase interval according to heart rate ≤75 bpm.The images of maximum intensity projection,multiplanar reconstruction and vulume reconstruction were gained to show left and right main coronary artery and their main branchs on mulliple angle.Results The myocardial bridges were detected in 89 cases,the positive rate was 10.2%,36 cases(40.5%)had different grade stenosis(≤50%).The myocardial bridges located at middle segment of anterior descending artery(79.8%),the thickness of myocardial bridge was 0.06~0.55 cm,the atherosclerosis plaques were found in 20 cases,the vascular stenosis was approximate to 50%.39 cases with simple myocardial bridges had angina,21 cases hadn’t angina.23 cases with myocardial bridges accompanied by coronary artery atherosclerosis had angina.Conclusion MSCT coronary angiography may clearly detect the myocardial bridge,which can provide more worthy information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

The biochemical study of the nutritional status of 101 healthy pregnant women and cord blood samples showed that maternal serum protein, albumin, hemoglobin (Hb), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and calcium (Ca) were decreased, and serum transferrin and copper (Cu) were increased in the course of gestation.Correlation coefficients and stepwise regression analysis suggested that the concentrations of serum protein, Fe, Zn, Ca,Hb were positively correlated with the intake of calories, proteins, animal foods (especially fish and meats), Ca and vitamin C.The concentration of cord blood Ca,Zn and Fe were found highly related to the maternal serum levels in the late stage of pregnancy (P

Eight parameters about iron nutrition were observed longitudinally in eighty pregnant women from the first trimester to delivery. Their nutrients intake were recorded at the same time. It was noted that serum iron store (ferritin) decreased markedly in the course of pregnancy and the incidence of iron deficiency increased. Total iron intake was closely related to the variation of these parameters, the degree of iron deficiency in pregnant women and the content of cord ferritin. Iron in maternal serum is correlated to ferritin in the cord blood. It suggested that natural food abundant in iron, or food fortified with iron should be taken in early pregnancy to prevent iron deficiency of mothers.

A longitudinal study was carried out on zinc, copper, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium status of 104 normal primigravidas. The five elements in serum and hair of the mothers and their newborns were estimated with inductive coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. The results showed that the concentration of serum zinc, calcium, magnesium decreased gradually while copper and phosphorus increased remarkably in the course of pregnancy. The serum copper and phosphorus of cord blood were lower, zinc and calcium were higher than that of mothers' blood. The contents of hair zinc, copper, and phosphorus showed no differences but calcium and magnesium decreased gradually during pregnancy. Except that the level of copper in the newborns' hair was much lower, other elements were much higher than that in the mothers' hair.
