According to the AO classification there were 642 type A, 364 type B and 218 type C. There were 986 cases (72.4%) high-energy injury; 405 cases were multiple injury. There is 778 male and 446 female with mean age 39 years (range 16-92 years). Duration from injury to operation was 8 days(3 hour-30 days). Close reduction was 1203 cases and open reduction were 21 cases. Results Mean follow-up period is 24 months(6-70 month), mean operation time was 90 minutes(40-480 minutes). Union was in 1204 cases, union rate was 98.2%, mean union time was 5 months (3-12 months) on average, there were nonunion in 22 patients: 4 in humeral shaft, 8 in femoral shaft, 4 in supracondylar femur, 6 in tibia shaft, the nonunion rate is 1.8%. Late deep infection occurred in 3 patients: 1 in femoral shaft, 1 in supracondylar femur, 1 in intertrochanteric femur, the infection rate is 0.2%. There were 16 split in intraoperation: 4 in humeral nail, 4 in Gamma nail, 9 in supracondylar nail. Iatrogenic nerve palsy occurred in 6 patients: 2 in radial nerve, 2 in sciatic nerve, 2 in common peroneal nerve, the occurrence is 0.4%. One femoral nail was broken, locking screw were broken in 9 patients (0.6%), femoral shaft fracture of distal nail end occurred in 3 cases: 1 in Gamma nail, two in supracondylar nail. 53 patient complained uncomfortable in entry point (8 shoulders; 9 hips; 36 knees). Conclusion The result is satisfactory in bone healing low infection reduced blood loss and rapid recovery of the joint and body with the close interlocking nailing to be treatment of fresh extremity shaft fracture. It is a perfect method, however the complication should be pay more attention.

In order to investigate whether defense genes PAL, LOX, PBZ1, PR 1 a and Cht 1 participate in APR(adult plant resistance)to rice bacterial blight, their expression were analyzed using RT-PCR. Enzymatic activities of PAL and LOX were also measured. Results indicated that PAL was induced by pathogen and wounding in adult plants while it only induced by pathogen at the seedlings, and the expression of PAL was stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. Expression of LOX was induced by pathogen both in seedlings and adult plants and it was stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. Expression PBZ1 was induced by both pathogen and wounding in both seedlings and adult plants and it is earlier and stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. No expected fragments were obtained for PR 1 a and Cht 1. Enzymatic activities of PAL and LOX were consistent with their mRNA accumulations, respectively. It is probable that activation of PAL,LOX, and PBZ1 play crucial roles in APR to rice bacterial blight.

Objective To investigate the effect of nerve growth factor on the levels of serum S100 protein and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with acute brain injury.Methods 70 cases with acute craniocerebral injury from March 2013 to May 2015 in department of cerebral surgery of Tianjin port hospital were selected and divided into two groups according to random number method.The control group (35 cases) received conventional symptomatic treatment, the study group (35 cases) received conventional treatment on the basis of mouse nerve growth factor for injection, with a consecutive treatment of two weeks.On admission, one and two weeks after admission, the Glasgow coma scale ( GCS) score was recorded, serum S100 beta protein and IL-6 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) and the clinical curative effect of cerebral edema eliminate was compared.Results After two weeks’ treatment, the total efficacy in control group was lower than that in study group (77.14% vs.94.29%) ( P<0.05).The GCS score of two weeks after admission in study group was lower than that in control group, serum levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE), myelin basic protein ( MBP) , S100βprotein and IL-6 of one and two weeks after admission in study group were lower than those in control group ( P<0.05).Conclusion The nerve growth factor could decrease the levels of serum S100βand IL-6 and alleviate inflammation in patients with acute craniocerebral injury and the effect is obvious.

BACKGROUND:Insufficient blood supply after major bone defects leads to osteocyte necrosis;therefore, the tissue-engineered bone cannot meet the clinical requirements. OBJECTIVE:To construct an artificial vessel using in vitro cultured rabbit bone marrow stromal stem cel s and human umbilical vein endothelial cel s combined with the rabbit aortic decel ularized vascular matrix. METHODS:Rabbit bone marrow stromal stem cel s were cultured by adherent method, human umbilical vein endothelial cel s were cultured in vitro and isolated, and rabbit aortic decel ularized vascular stent was prepared. The stent-cel composite was constructed, and its biocompatibility was observed under scanning electron microscope. There were three groups:blank control, control (bone marrow stromal stem cel-stent) and experimental (stent-cel composites) groups (n=10 per group), fol owed by implantation around the smal vessels. Three months later, the vascular samples were col ected for gross observation and hematoxylin-eosin staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fibroblast-like cel clones were formed by adherent method, and were positive for CD44+and STRO-1+after climbing;calcified nodule formed in the ossification. Flow cytometry showed CD34+accounting for 43.83%, and visible VIII factor in the endothelial cel s. In the experimental group, endothelial cel s formed a single cel layer onto the scaffold under scanning electron microscope;the artificial vessel grew wel and tubular structure presented and eight angiod structures were found. Thin film-like vessels formed in the blank control group and there were only endothelial-like tissues in the control group. These results suggest that angiod structures can form after the stent-cel composite implantation, causing no immune reaction, but the artificial vessel is visible in absence of muscular layer.

BACKGROUND:Central pancreatectomy is a surgical treatment for tumors at the neck or the middle part of the pancreas, which can reserve more normal pancreas, not cut adjacent organs, and reduce the incidence of postoperative internal and external pancreatic secretion deficiency with respect to the expanded proximal and distal pancreatectomy. OBJECTIVE: To systematicaly evaluate the clinical efficacy of the central pancreatectomy and distal pancreatectomy. METHODS: A computer-based search of Chinese and English databases was performed, and then 15 controled clinical trials were included and systematicaly evaluated using RevMa5.2 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totaly 1 079 cases were included in this study, which consisted of 436 central pancreatectomy cases and 643 distal pancreatectomy cases. Meta-analysis showed that compared with the distal pancreatectomy group, the incidences of postoperative pancreatic fistula and complications were significantly higher, the risk of postoperative endocrine and exocrine insufficiency were significantly lower, while the surgical time (SMD: 59.23, 95%CI: 22.41-96.05, P < 0.01) and hospital stays (SMD: 7.01, 95%CI: 1.94-12.09,P< 0.01) were longer in the central pancreatectomy group. These findings indicate that although the central pancreatectomy has a high postoperative complication incidence, it can be accepted clinicaly, which may be a reasonable operation method to preserve pancreatic exocrine and endocrine function.

Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to explore the functions and potential mechanism of miR-451a in breast cancer (BC). Methods: Quantitative reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the expression of miR-451a in human normal mammary cells (MCF-10A) and BC cells. Colony formation assay, terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling assay and transwell assays were conducted to validate the effect of miR-451a on proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of BC cells, respectively. RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays were applied to investigate the upstream and downstream mechanisms of miR-451a in BC cells. Results: MiR-451a was expressed at a low level in BC cells. Overexpression of miR-451a repressed BC cells proliferation, migration and invasion. Moreover, long non-coding RNA AC092127.1 acted as a sponge of miR-451a to enhance the expression level of AE binding protein 2 (AEBP2) that was demonstrated to be the target gene of miR-451a in BC cells. Finally, rescue experiments validated that miR-451a and AEBP2 involved in AC092127.1-mediated BC cell growth, migration and invasion. Conclusion In a word, AC092127.1/miR-451a/AEBP2 axis contributes to BC cell growth, migration and invasion. Our results may help to find novel potential targets for BC treatment.

Objective:To examine metastatic gastric cancer patients who underwent surgery after chemotherapy and to determine the factors affecting survival. Methods:Clinical data on metastatic gastric cancer patients who underwent surgery after chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival data were evaluated through the Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank test, and Cox haz-ards regression. Results:The median age was 46 (22~74), and the median overall survival rate (OS) was 19 months (4~59 months). Response to chemotherapy (23.0 m for PR and 14.5 m for SD, P=0.045) and resection of the primary tumor (23.0 and 5.5 m, respective-ly, P=0.017) affected OS. No single factor was related to OS according to Cox regression. Conclusion:Surgical removal of the primary tumor is recommended for metastatic gastric cancer patients with positive response to chemotherapy and with a primary tumor that can be resected.

Objectives To explore the correlation between the population characteristics of sero-reactivity with quantitative antibody based-IHA and the transmission parameters,such as epidemic situation,transmission status or infection trend in population.Methods The residents in one endemic administrative village were simultaneously examined by Kato-Katz technique for parasitological stool examination,as well as by immuno-diagnostic technique IHA for detection of IgG antibody against soluble egg antigen for two consecutive years.The results of examination were analyzed and compared on the diagnostic parameters of IHA,the correlation of the changes of positive rates and antibody levels of IHA with the changes of infection trend in population and the distribution of antibody levels between 'the true negative' and 'the true positive'.Results When Kato-Katz technique based on 2 stool samples,each read in 3 thick smears,was used as the reference,the overall sensitivity of IHA was high (from 77.27% to 85.48%) with a relatively poor specificity of lower than 60%,the negative predict value (NPV) was excellent of higher than 94%.The specificity of IHA decreased with the increase of the age in different age-groups of population,showing the highest among the younger less than 15 years old.The distribution trends of positive rates of antibody in different age groups by IHA showed similar to that of egg positive rate detected by Kato-Katz although the positive rates of IHA were higher than these by Kato-Katz,which showed that a higher false positive (from 41.90% to 44.56%) and a certain false negative (from 14.52% to 22.73%)existed in IHA.The positive rate of antibody decreased slowly among the individuals with S.japonicum infection,who received treatment.There was an overlap in the distribution of antibody levels between ' the true negative' and ' the true positive'.Conclusions Under the current schistosomiasis epidemic situation in China,IHA is valuable in the epidemiologic surveys.It should be of further deliberation applying IHA as the screening approaches for identification of target individuals for treatment or determination of the infection rate in community and IHA needs to be combined with the parasitological examination.

Objective To observe the clinical effect ofJiedu-Huayu granule for the Dengue Fever (DF).Methods The patients with DF were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group. Both groups received the conventional treatment, and the treatment group addedJiedu-Huayu granule. The clinical effects were detected.Results At the baseline, the ALT and AST in the treatment were significantly higher than those in the control group (t=2.830,P=0.014;t=2.109,P=0.044). But after treatment, there was no difference between groups. The ALT in the treatment group showed a gradual change and AST recovery time showed short. Compared with control group, the concentration of sVCAM-1 in the treatment group was higher at baseline and the third day (t=2.780,P=0.018;t=2.130,P=0.460), but the concentration of MCP-1 desceased significantly on the 6th day (t=-2.164,P=0.042).Conclusions Compared with the western medicine, the treatment of western medicine andJiedu-Huayu granule could alleviate liver injure, shorten the recovery time, and reduce the concentration of sVCAM-1 and MCP-1.
