BACKGROUND: Distal humerus fracture is often comminuted, and is difficult to receive reduction and fixation due to its special anatomical structure. Choosing which surgical approach is still a controversy.OBJECTIVE: To compare and analyze the curative efficacy of the perpendicular double-locking plating system for the internal fixation of type C distal humerus fractures through two kinds of postcubital approaches.METHODS: Thirty-two cases of type C distal humerus fractures were enrolled and divided into groups A (osteotomy of olecranon approach) and B (tricep anconeus flap approach). There was no significant difference in the baseline data between two groups. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, healing time,postoperative follow-up and complications were recorded and analyzed. The patients were followed up at 2 weeks, 1, 3,6, 12, and 18 months. The healing time and complications were recorded according to radiographs and physical examinations. The Mayo Elbow Performance Score was used to determine the elbow function at 1 year postoperatively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The group A had a longer operation time and more intraoperative blood loss than those in the group B (P < 0.05), but showed a better elbow flexion and extension degrees, and higher Mayo Elbow Performance Score at 1 year postoperatively (P < 0.05). (2) There was no significant difference in the healing time between two groups (P > 0.05). (3) These results suggest that the articular surface of the distal humerus fracture is displayed well through two approaches, and the perpendicular double-locking plating system for the internal fixation of type C distal humerus fractures is rational. Noticeably, the tricep anconeus flap approach dose little damage to the muscle, while the osteotomy of olecranon approach obtains better elbow function and less complications.

OBJECTIVE: Aimed to discuss the perioperative treatment of the patient with asthma under endoscopic sinus surgery, to reduce the complications, adverse events and improve cure rate. METHOD: One hundred and fifty-two patients with asthma under nasal endoscopic surgery were analyzed retrospectively. RESULT: After specification of perioperative treatment, all patients with good control of asthma were in good condition before surgery. One hundred and sixteen patients were safely backed to ward after surgery. There were 13 cases had asthma attack of different degrees. The other 35 patients were send to ICU for observation of 24 to 48 h. One case had an acute attack after returned from ICU. One patient had instantly attacks of asthma after extubation. All patients improved after treatment,and recovered well after 1 year's follow-up. CONCLUSION We should pay more attention to the close relationship of CRS and asthma, standardize the perioperative treatment, master the principles of management of acute attack of asthma. As long as to make sufficient perioperative preparation, the nasal endoscopic surgery with asthma is safe, and it can have good efficacy.

Five general practitioners were trained for application of the enhancing CalgaryCambridge guide in consultation.The consultation time in 50 patients were recorded before and after training and the satisfaction degree of patients was investigated by questionnaire survey.Results showed that the length of consultation time after training was longer than that before training (490 s vs 277 s,P ＜ 0.05) and also longer than that of specialists (490 s vs 268 s,P ＜0.05).The overall satisfaction rate of patients was increased after training (72％ vs 88％,P ＜0.05).The results indicate that training of Calgary-Cambridge guide for doctor-patient communication can improve the communication skills of general practitioners.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Cigu Xiaozhi pills on expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in rat with nonalcoholic steatoheptatitis (NASH).

METHODFifty male SD rats were divided randomly into five groups: the normal group (n = 10), the model group (n = 10), the high dosage group (n = 10) and the little dosage group of the treatment (n = 10), Dongbao Gantai group (n = 10). Rats in normal control group were fed with standard diet. Rats in other four groups were established models of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and were treated simultaneously with traditional Chinese medicine and positive medicine. Histopathological changes in the liver were observed. The serum ALT, AST, TG, TC and hepatic MDA, SOD, GPX were detected histologically. The expression of TNF-alpha in the liver was determined using the immunohistochemical technique and RT-PCR.

RESULTIn model group, extensive adipose degeneration and inflammatory cell infiltration were found in the liver. In treatment groups steatohepatitis were markedly alleviated. Compared with model group, TG, TC, ALT, AST of the serum and MDA of liver tissue were reduced significantly, and SOD, GPX were increased significantly in treatment groups and positive control group (P < 0.05). TNF-alpha was not expressed almost in normal rat liver and was expressed highly in model rat liver. Compared with model group, the TNF-alpha mRNA and protein expression were significantly lower in liver of treatment groups and positive control group (P < 0.05). And the effects of high dosage group surpass than those of Dongbao Gantai group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONTNF-alpha plays an important role in NASH pathogenesis. Cigu Xiaozhi pills can effectively treat experimental nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in rats, and its mechanism may be associated with ameliorating hepatocellular steatosis, removing the free radicals and enhancing the capability of anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory.
