Orthopedic Journal of China 2006;0(08):-
[Objective]To explore the outcome of treatment of traumatic talipes equinus with Ilizarov technique.[Method]From Dec 2004 to Feb 2006,Ilizarove technique was used for treatment of traumatic talipes equinus in 8 patients,5 male and 3 female,aged from 28 years to 52 years with an average of 34.6 years.The main reasons of the food deformity included rupture or defect of the anterolateral muscle group of the leg in 3 patient,compartment syndrome of the leg in 2 patients,peroneal nerve injury in 2 and supercondylar fracture of the femor combined with popliteal artery injury in a patient.Ankylosis of the ankle ranged from 50 to 65 degrees.During operation,Ilizarov fram was placed in relative position of the foot and leg,and cross Kirschner wires 2 mm in diameter were inserted and fixed the limb with the frame in different level rings.Form 3~5 days after operation,distraction 1~2 turns four times per day was conducted till the ankle was placed in neutral position and the deformity corrected satisfactorily,then,discontinued the distraction and maintained the external fiation for another 2~3 months.[Result]All of the patients were followed up for 10 months to 21 months with an average of 12.5 months. No severe complications,such as necrosis of skin,neurovascular injuries occurred in any patient of this group.All of the affected foot and ankle got neutral position with satisfactory ambulation function,and 3 of them had 10 degrees of active dorsal flexion.No recurrence of the deformity occurred in any patient at the latest follow up.[Conclusion]Ilizarov techinque for treatment of traumatic talipes enquinus has significant advantages over other methods,it is recommended extensive application in clinic.

[Objective]To investigate surgical protocol for treatment of thoracolumbar fracture with ankylosing spondylitis. [Method]A retrospective study was performed in 8 thoracolumbar-fracture patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Of them, 6 patients were neurological intact and 2 had neurological defect(Frankel grades the C level). Under general anesthesia, all of the 8 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation with pedicle screws at two segments in both ends of the fracture. Laminectomy for decompression of the nerve tissue was performed in the 2 patients with neurological defect simultaneously.[Result]All of the 8 patients were followed up for 8 to 30 months. Solid bone healing was achieved in all of the patients. Two patients with eurological compromise had improved by two Frankel grades (complete recovery).[Conclusion]Thoracolumbar fracture in ankylosing spondylitis traverse both bone and ligaments, producing an extremely unstable situation similar to a shearing type of fracture. Reduction of the displacement and stabilization is best achieved with a pedicle screw system at two segments in both ends of the fracture.

Objective:We aimed to explore the clinical features, computed tomography (CT) findings, treatment, and prognosis of bronchopulmonary carcinoid. Methods:Clinical data of 31 patients with primary carcinoid tumor of the lung were retrospectively re-viewed. The prognostic factors were analyzed via Cox univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: Clinical symptoms included coughing or expectoration in 17 of the 31 cases, hemoptysis or blood-stained sputum in 7 cases, and chest pains or shortness of breath in 8 cases. Six cases were asymptomatic. The CT scans showed round or oval nodules with clear boundaries, and enhancement CT scans indicated mild, homogeneous enhancement. Immunohistochemistry results revealed the positive expression rates of synaptophy-sin (Syn), chromogranin A (CgA), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were 90.3%(28/31), 87.1%(27/31), and 90.3%(28/31), respec-tively. Therapy and prognosis results were as follows:28 of the total number of patients underwent surgery, among which 3 underwent postoperative adjuvant therapy, 2 received chemotherapy; and only 1 refused treatment. The 1-year overall survival rates were 100%(18/18) and 92.3%(12/13), whereas the 3-year survival rates were 94.4%(17/18) and 69.2%(9/13) in the typical and atypical carcinoid cases, respectively. Cox univariate analysis results revealed that lymphatic metastasis (P=0.02), tissue types (P=0.017), TNM stage (P=0.005), and therapies (P=0.01) were the prognostic factors. Cox multivariate analysis results showed that lymphatic metastasis (P=0.032) and tissue types (P=0.002) were the independent prognostic factors. Conclusion:Compared with other lung cancers, the bron-chopulmonary lung carcinoid has no special clinical manifestation in clinical and radiographic images. The diagnosis was mainly based on histopathology results. Surgery was the main and effective treatment, whereas chemotherapy and radiotherapy showed unsatisfactory results. The overall prognosis was satisfactory. However, the atypical carcinoid was inferior to the typical carcinoid in terms of progno-sis. Pathological typing and lymph node metastasis were significant prognostic factors.

Objective To analyze the prognostic factors and trerapy strategy of lung cancer in the patients aged 80 years and over.Methods Totally 107 patients aged ≥ 80 years with lung cancer were retrospectively reviewed.Patients' clinical characteristics and treatment were analyzed.Results Median survival time of the patients was 6.9 months.92.9% (13/14) of small cell lung cancer patients and 34.4% (31/90) of non small cell lung cancer patients were treated.Life cycle of patients who accepted effective treatments and supportive treatments were 16.5 months and 8.7 months,respectively (P=0.008).In the early stage of tumors,survival time of patients undergoing surgery was 36.7 months,15.5 months in patients without surgery (P=0.023),while in the late stage,survival time of patients receiving combined chemotherapy was 13.4 months,4.6 months in patients receiving single agent chemotherapy(P=0.002).In small cell lung cancer,survival time of patients who received radiotherapy was 12.8 months,6.4 months in patients who did not receive radiotherapy (P=0.049).Performance status (PS),clinical stage,early surgery,late chemotherapy and radiotherapy(x2=38.236,18.831,5.187,9.827,4.186,P<0.05),but not sex and pathology type affected the prognosis.PS score (P=0.003)and clinical stage(P=0.046) were the independent influencing factors.Conclusions Performance status and clinical stage are the independent influencing factors of lung cancer in the patients aged over 80 years.Patients may improve survival if receiving surgery,chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy when they have good PS,otherwise patients may choose best supportive care.

Objective To observe the effect of Puerarin on the level of tau phosphorylation in the olfactory bulb of Alzheimer's disease rat brain, and explore the underlying molecular mechanism.Methods ① Twenty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control group, model control group and Puerain-treated group.The levels of tau-1, PS396 and tau-5 in the olfactory bulb were detected by Western blotting.② Twenty male SD rats were randomly divided into model control group, low-dose Puerarin (40 mg·kg-1·d-1), medium-dose puerarin (80 mg·kg-1·d-1) and high-dose puerarin (160 mg·kg-1·d-1) groups.The levels of tau-1 and PS396 phosphorylation in the olfactory bulb were detected by Western blotting.③ The level of GSK-3β phosphorylation in the olfactory bulb of the normal control group, model control group A and puerain-treated group was detected by Western blotting.Results ① It was shown by Western blotting that the relative expression of tau-1 was significantly decreased in the olfactory bulb of the model group A(0.49±0.07)rat brain compared with the normal control group(0.85±0.03)(P<0.01), and the level of tau-1 was obviously higher in the puerarin-treated group(0.58±0.03)compared with that of the model group A(P<0.05).The differences of the levels of tau-5 and PS396 in the olfactory bulb were insignificant among the 3 groups.②Compared with the model group B, the expression of tau-1 in the olfactory bulb was significantly enhanced in the low-, medium-and high-dose of puerarin group: (0.39±0.09)vs(0.69±0.11),(0.55±0.11),(0.70±0.04);and the level of PS396 was significantly decreased in the olfactory bulb of low-dose puerarin group(0.36±0.07) compared with the model group B(0.55±0.05)(P<0.01).③Compared with the normal control group(0.96±0.07), the ratio of pS9-GSK-3β/tGSK-3β was obviously decreased in the olfactory bulb of the model group A(0.51±0.12),while that was significantly increased in the puerarin group(0.62±0.03) compared with the model group A(P<0.01).Conclusion Puerarin can attenuate AD-like tau hyperphosphorylation in the olfactory bulb of Alzheimer's disease rat brains, and decreased activity of GSK-3β might be involved in the effects of puerarin on tau hyperphosphorylation.
