OBJECTIVETo analyze the related factors of the infection after operation of open tibiofibula fractures.

METHODSThe clinical data of 141 patients with open tibiofibula fractures underwent surgical treatment from June 2009 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were male and aged from 18 to 61 years old with an average of 39.2 years; all the fractures were unilateral. According to Gustilo typing of fracure, 5 cases were type I, 44 cases were type II, 27 cases were type III a, 56 cases were type III b and 9 cases were type III c. These clinical data included patients' age, gender, body mass index (BMI), underlying diseases, time of operation, fracture site, fracture type, fixation method, postoperative drainage, debridement condition and so on. The postoperative infection conditions were recorded, and the correlation between above factors and infections were analyzed. Finally, the significant related variables were introduced into a Logistic regression model to evaluated their risk.

RESULTSAmong the 141 patients, 22 cases developed with infection (15.6%). The significant relative factors with infection contained fixation method, debridement condition, underlying diseases and postoperative drainage (P < 0.05). The correlativities were stepped up in order, their odds ratios value was 2.451, 3.164, 3.414, 5.117, respectively.

CONCLUSIONActive treatment for underlying diseases before operation, thorough debridement for open wound, suitable fixation method for fracture and thorough draining are effective measures in preventing postoperative infection.

BACKGROUND:With the extensive application of anterior titanium plate, postoperative complications such as dysphagia, titanium loose, screw exit and disc degeneration of neighboring segments induced more and more attention of researchers. However, the application of anterior cervical cage is expected to avoid these complications. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To observe primary curative effect of anterior cervical cage ROI-C in anterior cervical spine surgery. ＜br> METHODS:A total of 32 patients with cervical spondylosis were treated with anterior cervical cage ROI-C in the Wuxi Ninth Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from April to December 2013. The cage was implanted to promote interbody fusion. Of 32 cases, 23 cases affected cervical spondylotic myelopathy, 2 cases affected nerve root type cervical spondylosis, 3 cases affected cervical hyperextension injury, 1 case affected cervical disc herniation, 2 cases affected cervical instability and 1 case affected segmental cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. Japanese Orthopaedic Association and NDI scores were determined to assess neurological symptoms and functional improvement before internal fixation and during final fol ow-up. Simultaneously, adverse reactions were recorded. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 32 patients finished the regular fol ow-up for 4 to 8 months. Clinical symptoms and spinal cord function of al patients were obviously improved. No ROI-C loosing or displacement or secondary surgery was found. The average fusion time was 4.2 months (3 to 5 months). Mean score of Japanese Orthopaedic Association was increased from 9.2 points pre-surgery to 13.8 points post-surgery. Japanese Orthopaedic Association and NDI scores were higher during final fol ow-up than before fixation (P＜0.05). These data indicated that ROI-C effectively restored intervertebral height in anterior cervical spine surgery, stably reconstructed cervical vertebra, obtained interbody fusion, effectively avoided related surgical complications induced by plate implantation, improved neurological symptoms and function, and showed good short-term effects.

AIM: To study the inhibitory effects of nm23-H1 gene on proliferation and invasion of human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line. METHODS: Recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-nm23-H1 containing full length of human nm23-H1 cDNA was constructed and transfected into a human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line by lipofectamine. Cell strain that expressed nm23-H1 stably was screened out by G418 and named pcDNA-nm23-A549. Expression of nm23-H1 was identified by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Growth curves were drawn to detect the inhibitory effects on cell proliferation. Cell cycle of pcDNA-nm23-A549 was examined by flow cytometry. Atomic force microscopy was used to observe the filopodia on the surface of the cells. RESULTS: Introduction of nm23-H1 obviously inhibited the proliferation of A549. Expression of nm23-H1 did not induce apotosis in A549 cells but increased the percentage of phase G_1 cells and decreased phase S cells. Meanwhile, phase G_1 to phase S transition was restrained. Filopodia in the cell surface was much fewer and its structure changed in cells transformed. CONCLUSION: nm23-H1 is capable of inhibiting A549 proliferation and decreasing its metastatic ability, probably by interfering with cell cycle and cell surface structure.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1),insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and mean height standard deviation score(HtSDS) in recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH)-treated small for gestational age (SGA) children.Methods 32 cases of SGA failed of catch-up growth were subcutaneously injected with rhGH every night before bed at a dose of 0.15-0.20u· kg-1 · d-1.And the variation of serum IGF-1,IGFBP-3,HtSDS,body height and growth velocity (GV) were monitored at 3,6,9 and 12 months of the treatment and compared.Results The GV (cm/years) increased to (12.4 ± 3.2),(11.0 ± 2.3),(10.1 ± 3.5),(9.4 ± 1.8) versus (4.1 ± 0.5) before treatment,suggesting a significant catch-up growth after treatment (F =51.35,P ＜ 0.01).Accordingly,HtSDS increased to (-2.55 ± 0.73),(-2.39 ± 0.65),(-2.21 ± 0.58),(-2.09 ± 0.94) versus (-2.81 ± 0.64),suggesting that height gaps were reduced compared to the normal children of the same age and sex after rhGH treatment (F =4.99,P ＜0.01).The serum levels of IGF-1,IGFBP-3 were significantly increased compared to pre-treatment (F =34.52,14.04,all P ＜ 0.01),especially for serum IGF-1,which maintained at a high level after 3 months of treatment and up to peak after 6 months.However,the ratio of IGF-1/IGFBP-3 showed no increase after treatment (F =1.82,P ＞ 0.05).There was a significant positive correlation between the serum level of IGF-1 and △HtSDS after the rhGH treatment within six months (r3 =0.72,r6 =0.91),while there was no correlation between them after 9 months (r9 =0.26,r12 =0.33).There were no serious adverse events during the rhGH treatment.Conelusion The serum levels of IGF-1,IGFBP-3 were significantly increased after the rhGH treatment,especially for serum IGF-1.There was a significant positive correlation between the serum level of IGF-1 and △HtSDS within six months,but not after 9 months.The rhGH treatment could be a safe and effective strategy for SGA children.
