Objective To assess the clinical value of high frequency ultrasound diagnosis for little bone fracture of ankle. Methods Thirty-seven ankle wound patients with negative X-ray examination underwent high frequency ultrasound. The second X-ray examination was performed on patients with hinted little bone fracture of ankle, and then CT/MR examination was performed on patients whose second X-ray examination was negative. The consequence of the second X-ray examination was counted and the sonographic features were analyzed. Results ①Little fracture of fibula (lateral malleolus) was in 16, of tibia (medial malleolus) in 12, of talus in 2, of scaphoid bone in 4, of metatarsale in 2 and of calcaneus in one patients. ②The second X-ray examination was positive in 26 patients (26/37, 70.27%), indicating that the detection rate of the second X-ray is higher than that of the first X-ray. ③Sonographic features of little bone fracture of ankle included incomplete bone surface of bone was rough and soft tissue swelling and thickening. No malposition of bone fracture was found. Conclusion High frequency ultrasound is supplementary for X-ray examination, being able to possess important clinical priority in the diagnosis of little bone fracture.

BACKGROUND: Chinese medicine Gukang prescription has a clear effect on clinical treatment of osteoporosis, but the therapeutic pathway is stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Chinese medicine Gukang on the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand and osteoprotegerin by regulating core binding factor alpha 1 expression to control the growth and development of osteoblasts.
METHODS:Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats within 24 hours after delivery were used for the separation and culture of osteoblasts. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were used to prepare drug-containing serum, and then divided into two groups randomly:normal control group and Gukang group. Rats in the normal control and Gukang groups were intragastrical y administrated with extract of Gukang prescription and normal saline based on rat’s body surface area, for 1 consecutive week. Two hours after the last administration, blood samples were taken from the heart. Then the serum was col ected. Osteoblasts at passage 3 were confirmed with alkaline phosphatase assay and digested. After counting and planting, al osteoblasts were divided into two groups and treated with col ected
serum for 72 hours. Proliferative rate of osteoblasts was detected by using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide test. Secretion of alkaline phosphatase was detected by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and corrected with the corresponding absorbance value. mRNA expression of core binding factor alpha 1, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand and osteoprotegerin were detected by using reverse
transcription-PCR in al groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:mRNA expression of osteoprotegerin and core binding factor alpha 1 in the Gukang group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group, but protein and mRNA expression of receptor
activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand were dramatical y lower in the Gukang group compared with the normal control group (P<0.01). These findings indicate that Chinese medicine Gukang prescription can modulate the expression of
core binding factor alpha 1, thereby adjusting the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand and osteoprotegerin, which may be one of the mechanisms underlying Gukang treatment for osteoporosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of levothyroxine(L-T4) intervention on premature delivery occurrence risk in early pregant women complicating subclinical hypothyroidism.Methods The databases of PubMed,EMBASE,EBSCO,Cochrane library,CBM and Wanfangdata were retrieved for collecting the related literatures on pregnancy complicating subclinical hypothyroidism published from January 1980 to March 2017.The undesirable studies were deleted according to the inclusion standard.The meta analysis was performed by using the RevMan5.3 software.Results (1) The 12 articles on premature delivery occurrence risk in pregnan women complicating subclinical hypothyroidism without intervention were included(accumulated 5 612 cases of samples and accumulated 368 cases of premature delivery),802 pregnant women received L-T4 intervention,the control group (4 810 cases) was the pregnant women of normal thyroid.The merged OR was 3.46,95%CI 2.64-4.54,P<0.05.(2) Twenty-one articles on premature delivery occurrence risk in pregnan women complicating subclinical hypothyroidism treated by L-T4 in meta analysis were included(accumulated 2561 cases of samples and accumulated 286 cases of premature delivery).The merged ORwas 5.37,95%CI 3.90-7.38,P<0.05).Conclusion Early pregnancy complicating subclinical hypothyroidism can increase the risk of preterm birth,whereas adopting the L-T4 intervention therapy can significantly reduce the risk of premature delivery occurrence.

0.05). But less oxidative DNA damage induced by 10?mol/L H2O2 was found in the 7.5 mg/kg bw VC supplemented group (72.6AU) than in VC deficient (127.3AU),125 mg/kg bw (121.0AU ), and 250 mg/kg bw (133.0AU) groups (P

Objective To explore the value of high frequency ultrasonography for the early diagnosis of hyperuricemia in patients with joint disease.Methods Ninety-eight patients with hyperuricemia and 100 healthy persons,according to with or without history of acute gout attack,were divided into symptomatic group,asymptomatic group and control group,whose first metatarsophalangeal joint,ankle and knee were examined by high frequency ultrasonography.Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results ① The joint lesions detection rate in the symptomatic group,asymptomatic group and the control group was 57％ (13/23),16％ (12/75),0 (0/100) respectively.There was statistical significant difference between the symptomatic group and the asymptomatic group (x2=9.69,P＜0.05).② The symptomatic group had 29 joint involvement (29/138),including 25 at the first metatarsophalangeal joint,3 at the ankle and one at the knee joint.The asymptomatic group had 14 joints involved (14/450),which were all located at the first metatarsophalangeal joint.③ The sonographic appearance of the two groups of arthropathy were synovial thickening,effusion,crystal deposition andbone erosion.The symptoms group presented as tophi,and increased synovial blood flow.Conclusion Patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia may have joint diseases.The joint disease detection rate of the symptomatic group is higher than that of the asymptomatic group.High frequency ultrasonography can be used a conventional imaging method for the screening of patients with hyperuricemia joint disease.The focus of the screening of asymptomatic patients is the first metatarsophalangeal joint.The focus of the screening of symptomatic patients is the first metatarsophalangeal joint and the joints that were attacked in the past history.

Objective To assess the application value of color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) in the diagnosis of osteofascial copmarttnent syndrome (OCS) of forearm.Methods A total of 19 patients highly suspected of or diagnosed as acute OCS of forearm underwent CDU in comparison with clinical diagnosis and therapy.The echoes of muscles,the diameter and change of flow Doppler spectra of radial artery and ulnar artery were observed.Results In 16 patients of OCS,most of the forearm muscle swelled (enlarged more than 1/2-2/3 area) with the muscle echo enhanced unevenly:the textures were unclear or disappeared;and fluid or hematom appeared in muscles;and the diameter of radial artery and ulnar artery diminished.The flow Doppler spectra of radial artery and ulnar artery appeared as bid-diastolic whole inverse wave,bip-,unid-,uniph-wave,unip-,unid-uniph-wave and venous like Doppler wave.Resistance index increased.Conclusion The acute OCS of forearm has some sonographic characteristics.CDU can be used to diagnose the acute OCS of forearm.
