BACKGROUND:Flexible intramedulary nailing and external fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures are two common methods in the clinic. It remains controversial which fixation methods are better. OBJECTIVE:To systematicaly evaluate the therapeutic effects of flexible intramedulary nailing and external fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures. METHODS: A computer-based search was performed on PubMed, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane library for literatures on clinical controled trials of flexible intramedulary nailing and external fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures published before November 25, 2014. Literature language was not limited. The age of subjects was from 3 to 15 years. Modified Jadad was utilized to assess methodological quality of the included studies. Meta-analysis was carried out using Stata 12.0 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Six papers involving 237 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with external fixation, a low incidence of overal complications [relative risk (RR)=0.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.19-0.46;P < 0.001] and pin-hole infection (RR=0.286, 95%CI: 0.13-0.61;P= 0.001), but a high risk of needle tail irritation (RR=1.86, 95%CI: 1.35-2.56;P < 0.001) were found folowing flexible intramedulary nailing. No significant differences in other complications were found between the two groups. These results confirm that compared with external fixation, elastic intramedulary nail has fewer complications and faster fracture healing. Elastic intramedulary nail is recommended for single pediatric femoral shaft fractures. However, external fixation is a better option for high energy injury of lower limbs, multiple trauma or severely soft tissue injury.

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of double-wing flap for the treatment of toe syndactyly. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 47 patients (60 syndactyly toes) who underwent double-wing flap to reconstruct toe web space in orthopedics department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2010 to October 2017.There were 21 males and 26 females, with an average age of 18.9 months (range: 10-48 months). All patients were treated with zigzag incisions to separate the toe syndactylys without skin grafts.The condition of wound healing and appearance of toes were observed. Results: The average follow-up time was 62.3 months (range: 6 to 80 months). There were no complications such as hematoma, infection, flap necrosis and no flexion contracture and obvious scar hyperplasia in all the 47 cases, 4 of the 60 webs developed web creep.All webs had good appearance with 45 degrees inclination from the dorsal to the metatarsal side and had good flexion and abduction function. Conclusions The double-wing flap is a simple and safe operation for toe syndactyly which has a good clinical effect.

Objective: To introduce a new surgical technique for the correction of congenital syndactyly without skin grafts. Methods: The technique consists of a dorsal double-wing flap created from the dorsal skin of the metacarpophalangeal joint to cover the newly released web space and zigzag incisions in the fingers, thus avoiding the use of skin grafts in this area. Results: From May 2010 to October 2016, 35 web spaces in 24 patients were treated using this technique. There were no complications such as haematoma, infection or flap necrosis. The average follow-up time was 54 months (range, 6 months to 60 months). One of the 35 webs developed web creep. No patients developed flexion contractures. All webs had good appearance with 45 degrees inclination from dorsal to palmar. All fingers had no obvious scar, and the flexion and abduction function were good. Conclusions The technique is simple, rapid, safe and easily performed and does not require the use of skin grafts.

Objective To investigate the outcome and affecting factors of patients with osteosarcoma after recurrence.Methods Retrospective analysis was used to analyze the achieved data and prognosis-related factors of 72 patients with extremity osteosarcoma after recurrence from June 2000 to September 2012 through multicenter joint treatment.37 males and 35 females were included.The overall age was 7 to 61 years old (average age22.2 years old).Classification based on the tumor recurrent parts:42 cases (58.3％) on femur,18 cases (25％) on tibia,7 cases (9.7％) on humerus and 5 cases (6.9％) on fibula.Classification based on metastases:14 cases of simple recurrence (19.4％),58 cases (80.6％) of recurrence with metastasis:29 cases (40.3％) of recurrence occurred first,9 cases (12.5％) of metastasis occurred firstly,20 cases (27.8％) of simultaneous recurrence with metastasis;12/14 patients (16.7％) of simple recurrence had long-term survival,but 2 died (2.8％).Six of 58 patients (8.3％) of recurrence with metastasis had long-term survival but 52 died (72.2％).Results The overall 10-year postrelapse survival rate of the 72 patients was 25％.Kaplan-Meier univariate analysis revealed that postrelapse survival was significantly influenced by the continued treatment after recurrence and the number of postoperative chemotherapy,but it was not significantlyinfluenced by age,gender and the number of preoperative chemotherapy.Multivariate analysis revealed that the continued treatment after recurrence and the number of postoperative chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors (P=0.002,P=0.007).At the same time,according to the survival curve grouped by different indicators,the number of chemotherapy after recurrence has no significant effect on TFS.However,the continued treatment after recurrence has obvious statistical significance on improving TFS and OS of patients (P=0.026,P=0.002).Conclusion Resection and standard postoperative chemotherapy had significant effects on the postrelapse survival in patients with osteosarcoma.There are good prospects for further multimodal therapy and multicenter cooperation for osteosarcoma after recurrence.

Objectives: To explore the expression regulation of type 1 and type 2 (Th1 and Th2) cytokines from serum of coal miners and the evaluation in surveillance of coal workers' pneumoconiosis, 630 coal miners were studied. Methods: A total of 90 male patients diagnosed as coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) in a institute for occupational health and 19 male workers newly diagnosed as CWP patients was chosen as CWP group with simple random sampling method from a coal mine group from January 2013 to December in 2015. 180 male coal miners with abnormal but not diagnosed as CWP were selected as CWP suspected group with simple random sampling methods, meanwhile 180 male coal miners with normal chest X-ray photograph was as dust-exposed group by 1∶1 matched as age. And 161 healthy males accepted pre-employed examination were selected as control group, CWP suspected group, dust-exposed group and control group called as non-CWP group. According to screening test and diagnosis test, the basic information and occupational history of all subjects were collected, and cytokines including IL-1β, IL-8, IFN-γ, IL-6 and IL-10 of serum were detected. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cutoff value of each cytokine. Area under curve (AUC), the validity and reliability were calculated and judged. Results: The average age of control group, dust-exposed group, CWP suspected group and CWP group were (27.4±5.0) , (43.4±10.7) , (48.2±6.2) , (64.7±7.0) years old, respectively. The median level of IL-1β, IL-8, IFN-γ and IL-6 in cases group (1 638.30, 2 099.49, 815.18,140.32 pg/ml) were higher than that of non-cases group (1 445.57, 1 402.26, 736.38, 95.73 pg/ml) (P<0.05) . The level of IL-8 (1 503.99 pg/ml) in CWP suspected group was higher than that of control group (1 295.67 pg/ml) and dust-exposed group (1 376.94 pg/ml) , but the level of IL-10 (654.08 pg/ml) was lower than that of control group (596.64 pg/ml) . The ratio of IFN-γ/IL-6 ranged from 5 to 8, and the ratio in CWP group (5.87) was lower than that of non-CWP group (7.61) . The IL-6 and IL-8 among the subjects of dust-exposed group in terms of the age distribution of among had reached statistical significance. According to ROC, the cutoff value of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and INF-γ reached 1 582.65, 116.53, 1 791.54, 581.08 and 792.69 pg/ml, respectively. The AUC was 0.668, 0.895, 0.859, 0.716 and 0.637, respectively. It was found that IL-6 and IL-8 could be used as biomarkers in detecting CWP, the sensitivity and specificity was 82.6% and 84.6%, 78.0% and 84.8%, respectively; Youden's index was 0.674 and 0.628 and the consistency rate was 84.3% and 83.7%, while Kappa value was 0.55 and 0.52. Conclusion There was Type 1 and type 2 cytokine dysregulation in CWP patients. IL-6 and IL-8 can be used as effective biomarkers to forecast lung injury before X-ray changes.

ObjectiveTo explore the material basis and molecular mechanism of Linggui Qihua prescription （LGQH） against myocardial fibrosis in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction （HFpEF）. MethodLiquid chromatography-mass spectrometry （LC-MS） was used to qualitatively analyze the active components of LGQH. AutoDock software was employed for molecular docking between the active components of LGQH and target proteins including α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， type Ⅰ collagen （ColⅠ）， type Ⅲ collagen （ColⅢ）， matrix metalloproteinase-9 （MMP-9）， and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 （TIMP-1）. In vivo experiments were conducted on 40 spontaneously hypertensive rats （SHRs） aged 4 weeks， which were divided into an HFpEF group， an Entresto group （0.018 g·kg^-1）， and low- and high-dose LGQH groups （3.87， 7.74 g·kg^-1）. A high-fat， high-salt， and high-sugar diet was administered for 16 weeks along with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin solution for 8 weeks to establish an HFpEF model in rats. The blank group consisted of 10 Wistar Kyoto （WKY） rats and 10 SHRs. After successful modeling， the WKY， SHR， and HFpEF groups were given equal volumes of normal saline， while the other three groups received predetermined interventions. Daily oral gavage was performed for 6 weeks. After intervention， echocardiography was conducted to measure left ventricular （LV） anterior wall thickness （LVAWd）， LV posterior wall thickness （LVPWd）， LV internal diameter at end-diastole （LVIDd）， LV ejection fraction （LVEF）， isovolumic relaxation time （IVRT）， early diastolic peak velocity of mitral valve inflow （E）， and early diastolic mitral annular velocity （e'）. The E/e' ratio was calculated. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect serum atrial natriuretic peptide （ANP）， B-type natriuretic peptide （BNP）， and galectin-3 （Gal-3）. Myocardial fibrosis was observed through Masson staining of pathological sections， and collagen volume fraction （CVF） and perivascular fibrosis ratio （PFR） were calculated. Real-time polymerase chain reaction （PCR） and Western blot were employed to detect LV myocardial mRNA and protein expression of α-SMA， ColⅠ， ColⅢ， MMP-9， and TIMP-1. ResultLC-MS identified 13 active components in LGQH. Molecular docking indicated stable binding of the 13 compounds with five target proteins. In vivo experiments showed that compared with the blank group， the HFpEF group had significantly increased LVAWd， LVPWd， LVIDd， IVRT， E/e'， ANP， BNP， Gal-3， CVF， and PFR. LV myocardial α-SMA， ColⅠ， and ColⅢ mRNA and protein expression was significantly upregulated， while MMP-9/TIMP-1 mRNA and protein ratios were significantly downregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the HFpEF group， LGQH might dose-dependently reduce LVAWd， LVPWd， LVIDd， IVRT， E/e'， ANP， BNP， Gal-3， CVF， and PFR， downregulated myocardial α-SMA， ColⅠ， ColⅢ mRNA expression， α-SMA， and ColⅠ protein expression， and upregulated MMP-9/TIMP-1 mRNA and protein expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionLGQH contains multiple active components and may inhibit myocardial fibrosis in HFpEF rats. It may further alleviate LV hypertrophy， dilation， and diastolic dysfunction， making it an effective Chinese medicinal prescription for treating HFpEF.

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of endoscopic laminectomy with traditional hemilaminectomy for lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods: From January 2016 to April 2017, 61 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis were treated surgi-cally. Percutaneous endoscopic laminectomy was performed in 32 patients (minimally invasive group), including 13 males and 19 females, aged 38-76 years, with an average age of 58.47±7.51 years. Twenty-nine patients (open group) underwent hemilaminecto-my, including 11 males and 18 females, aged 38-75 years, with an average age of 57.17±9.99 years. The operation time, bleeding, incision length, bedridden time and hospitalization time were recorded. Visual analogue scale(VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCA), ventral intervertebral space height (VH), dorsal intervertebral space height (DH) and lumbar mobility (range of motion, ROM) were compared between the two groups. Results: All of 61 patients were followed up for 14 to 27 months, with an average of 19.2±2.95 months. The operation time was 60.88±6.49 min in the minimally invasive group, and 52.07±9.45 min in the open group (t=4.277, P=0.000). The blood loss of minimally invasive group was 55.63±10.14 ml, and that of open group was 78.79±12.58 ml (t=7.952, P=0.000). The incision length of minimally invasive group was 23.31±4.56 mm, and open group 82.59±7.66 mm (t=12.047, P=0.000). Bed rest time was 21.97±6.42 h in minimally invasive group and 78.79±12.58 h in open group (t=12.047, P=0.000). The hospitalization time of the minimally invasive group was 8.53±2.75 d and the open group 11.34±3.12 d (t=3.745, P=0.000). All these parameters had statistical significance (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the VAS score of minimally invasive group was 1.06±0.56, and the open group was 1.14±0.74 (t=0.469, P=0.634). ROM of open group was 5.66±1.12 degree, and ROM of minimally invasive group was 5.56±1.13 degree (t=0.140, P=0.710), VH of minimally invasive group was 14.75±2.81 mm, and open group was 14.44±2.89 mm (t=0.181, P=0.672). There was no significant difference between the two groups for these parameters. At the last follow-up, ODI score was 13.25%±1.08% in the minimally invasive group and 14.28%±2.10% in open group (t=5.911, P=0.018). DSCA score was 108.56±8.69 mm² in the minimally invasive group, and 117.28±11.09 mm² in open group (t=11.774, P=0.001). There were significant differences between the two groups for ODI and DS-CA. Conclusion Both endoscopic and open laminectomy have excellent clinical effects on lumbar spinal stenosis. Endoscop-ic laminectomy has the advantages of less local trauma, less damage to the stability of the lumbar spine and faster recovery. However, there's a higher technical requirement for endoscopic spine surgery.
