Objective To explore the effect of the proximal femoral nail antirotation(PFNa) for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture.Methods 272 consecutive patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated with PFNa.Results The mean operative time was 55min(range 35 ～95)min.The mean blood loss was 85ml (range:20 ～200)ml.The mean follow-up was 15.6months( range:6 ～36)monthsand achieved bone healing with an average time of 14.5weeks.According to the Harris criterion for evaluation.Conclusion PFNa was more comfortable for human's biomechanism and more favorable for the healing of the fracture as well as the recovery of the hip function.It had the advantage of simple manipulation,fewer trauma,strong fixation,anti-rotation,less osclerotin.PFNa was an ideal treatment for intertrochanteric fracture,specially the unstable intertrochanteric fracture and senile osteoporosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors related to failure of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA)internal fixation for intertrochanteric fracture of femur.Methods A retrospective research was done on 249 cases with intertrochanteric fracture of femur after PFNA internal fixation.The failure ratios related to sex,fat,fracture pattern,osteoporosis,replace condition in operation and tip-apex distance(TAD)were calculated.And the risk factors related to failure of PFNA were statistically analysed.Results Two hundred and forty-three cases were followed up ranged from 10 months to 3 years after operation.Plain AP and lateral radiographs were obtained at each follow-up patient,13 of 243 cases resulted in failing by PFNA internal fixation.The failure ratios in PFNA internal fixation with fat,unstable fracture,TAD≥25 mm and bad replace condition in operation were 8.5％(12/141),7.8％(12/153),18.5 ％(5/27)and 26.1％(6/23),respectively,which were higher than those in PFNA internal fixation with nonobese,stable fracture,TAD ＜ 25 mm and good replace condition in operation[1.0％(1/102),1.1％(1/90),3.7％(8/216)and 3.2％(7/220),respectively](P＜0.05 or ＜0.01).Conclusions Fat,unstable fracture,TAD≥25 mm and bad replace condition in operation are the relatively independent risk factors related to failure of PFNA internal fixation for intertrochanteric fracture of femur.Furthermore,it will prevent and reduce the ratio of complications to avoid these risk factors when PFNA internal fixation is selected for treatment intertrochanteric fracture of femur.

Objective To retrospectively study the incidence and risk factors of thyroid disease induced by peginterferon plus ribavirin (Peg IFN/RBV) antiviral treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC).Methods From January 2012 to December 2014,a total of 362 CHC patients were treated with Peg IFN/RBV antiviral therapy at Wuxi Fifth People's Hospital,among whom 315 patients were included in this study.Thyroid function,autoantibodies and thyroid ultrasound were measured at baseline,weeks 12,24 and 48.Comparisons between groups were performed using chi-square test for qualitative data and the unpaired t test for continuous variables.Results After treatment,thyroid dysfunction developed in 12.1％ of patients.Positive anti-thyroid peroxidase and anti-thyrobolulin antibodies were detected in 21％ of patients.The thyroid ultrasound changes developed in 14.9％ of the patients,among whom normal thyroid function and thyroid autoantibodies negative were detected in 8.7 ％ of patients.The titer of thyroid autoantibodies increased steadily from baseline to the end of treatment.Logistic regression analysis showed that positive thyroid autoantibody (OR =5.423,95％ CI:3.441 8.716),sustained virological response (OR=7.201,95％CI:6.231-10.206),female(OR=1.22,95％ CI:0.951-2.212) were the risk factors of thyroid dysfunction.Conclusions Peg IFN/RBV antiviral treatment increases the incidence of thyroid disease in CHC patients.Positive thyroid autoantibody,sustained virological response and the female gender are the risk factors of thyroid dysfunction.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between antithrombin Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ) activity and survival, bleeding and thrombosis complications in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and to explore the prediction value of AT-Ⅲ activity in the prognosis of ACLF patients.Methods:The clinical data of 130 hospitalized patients with ACLF were retrospectively collected in Wuxi No.5 People′s Hospital from January 1, 2013 to April 1, 2019. The liver function, international normalized ratio (INR), and 90-day survival rate were detected. The AT-Ⅲ activity values at admission, week two, week four, and week eight of hospitalization were recorded, and the occurrences of fecal occult blood and femoral vein thrombosis were also recorded. The measurement data were compared by t test, analysis of variance, or rank sum test, and the categorical data were compared by chi-square test. The risk factors affecting the survival of ACLF patients were analyzed by Cox regression. The survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results:At the end of 90-day follow-up of 130 patients, 56 patients died, 20 patients (15.38%) were fecal occult blood positive and 15 (11.54%) had femoral vein thrombosis. The baseline AT-Ⅲ activity in the death group was lower than that in the survival group ((17.89±13.68)% vs (36.03±11.96)%), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-8.045, P<0.01). The baseline AT-Ⅲ activities in fecal occult blood positive and negative patients were (18.26±11.52)% and (25.06±10.97)%, respectively, and in femoral vein thrombosis and non-thrombotic patients were (17.55±10.33)% and (32.48±11.88)%, respectively. The differences were both statistically significant ( t=8.746 and 8.090, respectively, both P<0.01). Through dynamic monitoring of AT-Ⅲ, the AT-Ⅲ activity showed a downward trend in the death group, while that showed an upward trend in the survival group, but the differences were not statistically significant ( F=0.282 and 0.401, respectively, both P>0.05). The Cox regression analysis suggested INR (odds ratio ( OR)=1.364, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.078-1.726, P=0.010) and AT-Ⅲ activity ( OR=0.930, 95% CI 0.906-0.954, P<0.01) were the independent factors affecting the survival of patients with ACLF. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of the AT-Ⅲ activity for predicting 90-day survival outcome of the patient was 0.706 (95% CI 0.773-0.952, P<0.01), and the cut-off value was 25%. Patients with AT-Ⅲ activity ≥ 25% had a higher survival rate than those with AT-Ⅲ activity <25% ( χ2=58.20, P<0.01). Conclusions:AT-Ⅲ activity is associated with fecal occult blood positive and femoral vein thrombosis in ACLF patients. The AT-Ⅲ activity is an independent influencing factor for predicting the prognosis of ACLF patients. Patients with AT-Ⅲ activity less than 25% have the higher mortality rate.
