Objective To investigate the advantages, indications, operative techniques and pre-liminary curative effect of proximal femoral nail antirotation(PFNA) in surgical treatment of intertrochan-teric fractures. Methods From March 2006 to June 2007, PFNA fixation was done on 38 patients with intertrochanteric fractures including 17 males and 21 females, at an average age of 65. 4 years(35-93 years). According to AO/ASIF classification, there were 10 patients with type 31-A1 fractures, 21 with type 31-A2 and 7 with type 31-A3. All patients were reduced through longitudinal traction on the traction table, with implantation of PFNA via a mini-incision. Results The mean operation duration was 50 minutes(35-105 minutes)and mean blood loss 100 ml(50-300 ml). All patients were successful except for 1 patient with split lateral cortical bone of distal shaft of the femur during operation. All pa-fients were followed up for average 13 months(4-19 months), which showed long-team bed stay due to severe complieations in 1 patient. Function recovery in 32 and deterioration of the injured limbs in 5. Cer-ebral infarction was found 6 months after operation in 1 patient, who was able to walk under support. Pri-mary bone union was achieved in all patients, with average healing time of 9. 5 weeks. There were no complications such as infection of incisional wound, pulmonary infection, phlebothrombosis, over incision or coxa adducta, except that 2 patients had perioperative respiratory system disease. According to Harris hip rating scale system. The result was excellent in 20 patients, good in 13, common in 4 and poor in 1, with total excellence rate of 89%. Conclusions As a new technique, PFNA has advantages of litth trauma. Early get-out-of-bed exercise, few complications, rigid fixation and high bone union rate and is suitable for all kinds of intertrochanteric fractures especially for old patients with osteoporosis.

Platypnea orthodeoxia syndrome is associated with dyspnea and arterial oxygen desaturation accentuated by an upright posture. It can be secondary to an intracardiac shunt. We report a case of platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) in a 58-year old male patient who had a pre-existing patent foramen ovale (PFO) and substantial pulmonary pathologies. He was successfully treated by percutaneous transcatheter closure of the PFO. Our case highlights the importance of recognition of this rare syndrome in patients who present with unexplained hy-poxia for whom transcatheter closure of the interatrial shunt can be safely carried out.

Objective To evaluate the computer-aided design of digital plating for acetabular fracture of posterior wall associated with hip dislocation.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 32 patients who had been admitted for acetabular fracture of posterior wall associated with hip dislocation between June 2012 and August 2016.They were 22 men and 10 women with a mean age of 42.1 years (from 21 to 57 years).They were divided according to the treatment methods into 2 groups:an observational group (n =15) subjected to digital plating and a control group (n =17) subjected to conventional plating.All the patients were treated through the Kocher-Langenbeck approach.For the patients in the observational group,patient-specific digital steel plates were manufactured after simulation of fracture reduction,design of individualized steel plate and simulation of steel plating in the computer software before operation.The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time,intraoperative bleeding,intraoperative fluoroscopy,hospital stay,fracture reduction and hip joint function at the last follow-up and postoperative complications as well.Results For the observational group,the operation time (73.3 ± 15.2 min) was significantly shorter than that for the control group (93.2 ± 14.7 min),the intraoperative bleeding (254.3 ±63.lmL) and the intraoperative fluoroscopy (2.4 ± 0.7 times) were significantly less than those for the control group (334.6 ±70.3 mL;3.2 ±0.8 times) (P < 0.05).There were no significant difference between the 2 groups in the good to excellent rate of reduction [93.3% (14/15) versus 88.2% (15/17)] (P > 0.05).All the patients were followed up for an average of 28.1 months (from 8 to 48 months).There was no significant difference either between the 2 groups in the modified Merle d'Aubigné-Postel scores at the last follow-up (16.4 ± 1.8 versus 15.8 ± 1.6) (P > 0.05).There was a significant difference between the observational and control groups in the incidence of heterotopic ossification [6.7% (1/1) versus 17.6% (3/17)] (P <0.05).Conclusions In the treatment ofacetabular fracture of posterior wall associated with hip dislocation,computer-aided design of digital plating may have advantages of shorter operation time,less intraoperative blood loss,less intraoperative fluoroscopy and lower incidence of heterotopic ossification.

The posterior iliac crescent fracture is a typical manifestation of injury to the posterior ring in the lateral extrusion type Ⅱ of the Young-Burgess classification for pelvic fractures. In recent years, scholars have put forward new ideas about injury mechanisms, imaging features, classification, pelvic stability and surgical procedures of this type of fractures. Minimally invasive reduction and internal fixation with percutaneous screws has been used more and more widely in the treatment of posterior iliac crescent fractures. This article reviews the clinical features, classification, treatment, problems and prospects of these fractures.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common human cancers; however, its outcome of pharmacotherapy is always very limited. Herein, we performed a batch query in the connectivity map (cMap) based on bioinformatics, queried out 35 compounds with therapeutic potential, and screened out parbendazole as a most promising compound, which had an excellent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HNSCC cell lines. In addition, tubulin was identified as a primary target of parbendazole, and the direct binding between them was further verified. Parbendazole was further proved as an effective tubulin polymerization inhibitor, which can block the cell cycle, cause apoptosis and prevent cell migration, and it exhibited reasonable therapeutic effect and low toxicity in the in vivo and in vitro anti-tumor evaluation. Our study repositioned an anthelmintic parbendazole to treat HNSCC, which revealed a therapeutic utility and provided a new treatment option for human cancers.
