Objective To report effect on treatment tibial fracture asynthesis by external fixator combined with spongy bone implant.Methods From Februryl 999 to February 2002,11 cases of the tibial fractures asynthesis were treated with the external fixator combined with spongy bone implant.Results Follow-up was both clinically and ra-diologically performed in 1 leases.The healing rate of the fracture was 100% in this group.The average healing time was 3.2 months.Conclusion The external fixation combined with spongy bone implant is simple and effective in treatment of the tibial fracture asynthesis.

Objective To investigate the correlation between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and glucose fluctuation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods Sixty-eight T2DM patients admitted to Beijing Military General Hospital from March to August 2012 were enrolled in the study,including 32 cases with CIMT thickening (CIMT ≥ 0.9 mm) and 32 cases with normal CIMT (CIMT ＜0.9 mm).The 72 h continuous blood glucose levels were monitored from the day of admission.Results There were no significant differences in the gender,age,body mass index (BMI),systolic and diastolic blood pressure,HDL-C,LDL-C,CHO,TG,glycosylate hemoglobin (HbA1c),fasting blood glucose(FBG) and postprandial average blood glucose (MPBG) between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The atherosclerosis (AS) score and mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE),glucose standard deviation,frequency of glycemic excursion (FGE) and absolute mean of daily differences (MODD) in patients with thickening CIMT were (11 ± 7) years,(6.9 ± 3.0) mmol/L,(2.8 ± 1.2) mmol/L,(3.4 ± 1.5) times/d,(2.8 ± 1.3) mmol/L,(4.5 ± 1.0) score,respectively ; while those in patients with normal CIMT were (8 ±6) years,(4.2 ± 1.1) mmol/L,(1.6 ± 0.5) mmol/L,(2.2 ± 0.8) times/d,(2.0 ± 1.0) mmol/L,(3.3 ±0.6) score,respectively.There were significant differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Pearson correlation showed that CIMT was positively correlated with MAGE,FGE,MODD,course of disease,diastolic blood pressure,LDL-C,MPBG and AS score (P ＜ 0.05).Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that MAGE,MBPG were the influencing factors of CIMT.Conclusions The CIMT of patients with T2DM is closely correlated with glucose fluctuation,indicating that reduction of blood glucose fluctuation and MAGE,MPBG levels may delay the occurrence of diabetic macroangiopathy.

We analyze the epidemiology,clinical features,and outcome of the patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob diseases (CJD) in Guizhou Province from 2010 to 2015.The epidemiology,clinical characteristics and follow-up data of CJD suspected patients obtained from Guizhou CJD surveillance network were analyzed.The testing results of cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) and blood from the patients were also collected and analyzed.Results showed that a total of 11 CJD cases was found from 23 reported CJD suspected patients in Guizhou from 2010 to 2015,including 8 probable sporadic CJD(sCJD) cases,2 possible sCJD cases and 1 genetic CJD(gCJD) case.In 11 cases,rapidly progressive dementia was the major initial symptom,following by mental symptoms,extrapyramidal symptoms,signs and cerebellum cortical blindness.Clinical symptoms of progressive dementia were the main symptoms,following by visual or cerebellar dysfunction,myoclonus,cone system/extrapyramidal dysfunction,and akinetic mutism.Most of cases were abnormal in MRI (45.45％) and 14-3-3 protein detection in CSF(70％).The 14-3-3 blood samples of prion gene 129 amino acids (PRNP)polymorphisms were M/M type,excepting for 1 case gCJD confirmed diagnosis cases with D178N mutation in PRNP gene.Eleven CJD cases did not show season and regional clusterings and vocational tendency.The majority of the cases were male,the median age was 65,and mainly were the Han nationality.For all cases of CJD reported during that year for follow-up,the lost-tofollow-up rate was 27％,and the majority of cases died within one year.The sCJD cases were the majority in CJD cases of Guizhou Province,2010-2015.The epidemiological characteristics were similar to the national monitoring cases in the same period.

OBJECTIVE: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecologic cancer worldwide. However, the pathogenesis of EC has not been epigenetically elucidated. Here, this study aims to describe the DNA methylation profile and identify favorable gene signatures highly associated with aberrant DNA methylation changes in EC. METHODS: The data regarding DNA methylation and gene expression were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Differentially methylated CpG sites (DMCs), differentially methylated regions (DMRs), and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and the relationship between the 2 omics was further analyzed. In addition, weighted CpG site co-methylation network (WCCN) was constructed followed by an integrated analysis of DNA methylation and gene expression data. RESULTS: Four hundred thirty-one tumor tissues and 46 tissues adjacent tumor of EC patients were analyzed. One thousand one hundred thirty-five DMCs (merging to 10 DMRs), and 1,488 DEGs were obtained between tumor and normal groups, respectively. One hundred forty-eight DMCs-DEGs correlated pairs and 13 regional DMCs-DEGs pairs were obtained. Interestingly, we found that some hub genes in 2 modules among 8 modules of WCCN analysis were down-regulated in tumor samples. Furthermore, protocadherins (PCDHs) clusters, DDP6, TNXB, and ZNF154 were identified as novel deregulated genes with altered methylation in EC. CONCLUSION: Based on the analysis of DNA methylation in a systematic view, the potential long-range epigenetic silencing (LRES) composed of PCDHs was reported in ECs for the first time. PCDHs clusters, DDP6, and TNXB were firstly found to be associated with tumorigenesis, and may be novel candidate biomarkers for EC.

From the perspective of medical institutions, this paper sorted out the background of the promulgation and important changes of Measures for Ethical Review of Life Science and Medical Research Involving Humans, and summarized the changes that may significantly affect the ethical review of medical institutions. It involved terminology changes and expansion of the scope of ethic review, clarification of the responsibilities and independence of the ethics committee, the refinement of the ethical review process, the emphasis on the protection of personal information and the rights and interests of subjects, and first proposal to exempt from ethical review. In addition, based on the concept of strengthening the ethical governance of science and technology in the new version of regulations, this paper shared the consideration on the governance of ethical review within medical institutions, including safeguarding the dignity and rights of subject, clarifying the role and position of ethical review, exempting the implementation of ethical review, and managing entrusted ethical review. With a view to providing a certain reference for the ethics practitioners and researchers in various medical institutions.

From the perspective of medical institutions, this paper sorted out the contents of Article 32 of the Measures for Ethical Review of Life Sciences and Medical Research Involving Human regarding "exemption from ethical review". At the same time, combined with domestic and foreign regulations, this paper deeply considered and analyzed the applicable premise and special circumstances of the provisions from the implementation level, and then put forward suggestions from the perspective of practical operation of medical institutions, with a view to providing some practical guidance and reference for ethical practitioners of medical institutions.
