OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical efficacy of self-made Kirschner wire hook in the treatment of severely displaced proximal humerus fractures in children.

METHODSFrom January 2007 to February 2012,35 children with severely displaced proximal humerus fractures were treated with self-made Kirschner wire hook fixation,including 25 boys and 10 girls with an average age of 13.2 years old ranging from 5 to 17. The duration from injury to operation was 1 to 10 days with an average of 4.5 days. Preoperative diagnoses were confirmed by X-ray films as type III in 26 cases and type IV in 9 according to the Neer-Horwitz classification of the proximal humerus fractures. All fractures were close fracture without nerve or vascular injuries. Anatomical reduction was achieved by open reduction and the fractures were fixed by self-made Kirschner wire hook. Intra-operative and postoperative complications, postoperative radiographic examination, upper extremity length and range of shoulder motion were observed and recorded. Neer score system was used to evaluate shoulder function.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 6 to 18 months with an average of 12.1 months. The mean Neer score of the injured side was 94.2 +/- 4.8 (ranged, 84 to 99), 30 patients got an excellent result and 5 good according to the Neer scores. The X-ray showed all the fractures healed without shortening deformity or epiphyseal arrest at early stage. There were no complications related to the implant including loosening or breakage of the self-made Kirschner wire hook. The range of shoulder motion in the injuried side was similar to the normal side, except in abductor lift. All the patients could participate in normal physical activities.

CONCLUSIONThe method of open reduction and fixed with self-made Kirschner wire hook is a safe,effective,convenient treatment for severely displaced proximal humeral fractures in children.

AIM: To investigate the effect of advanced glycosylation end products(AGEs) modified protein on morphological changes of actin cytoskeleton in primary endothelial cells and the role of MAPK signaling pathways in this pathological procedure.METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) were incubated with AGEs modified human serum albumin(AGE-HSA) at concentrations of 12.5,25,50,and 100 mg/L,respectively,for 2,4,8,12 and 24 hours.The cells were treated with different chemical compounds of inhibitors,or adenoviral deliver approach(either dominant positive or negative adenoviral constructs) of MAP kinases to specifically block or activate certain signal transduction pathways under above situations.As control,HSA of the same concentration was administered to cells at the same time.The treated cells were incubated with FITC-phalloidin to stain F-actin.RESULTS: F-actin in HUVECs was rearranged greatly by AGEs in a concentration and time-dependent manners.The unmodified HSA did not influence Factin distributions.The AGEs-induced changes were blocked by pretreatment with SB203580,PD98059 for 30 min,or pre-infection with recombinant virus of dominant negative form of MKK 6b [MKK6b(A)],MEK1 [MEK1(A)] for 24 h,while SP600125 and dominant negative form of MKK7 [MKK7(A)] failed to inhibit the effects of AGEs.Furthermore,the infection of recombinant virus of constitutive active form of MKK6b [MKK6b(E)] or MEK1 [MEK1(E)] could also induced re-arrangement of F-actin,respectively,while the effect elicited by [MKK6b(E)] was abolished by co-infection with recombinant adeno-virus of dominant negative p38?. CONCLUSION: AGEs-induced morphological changes of F-actin in endothelial cells are mediated by p38-and ERK MAPK signal pathways.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic cystic echinococcosis with biliary complications. Methods 284 patients with hepatic cystic echinococcosis (CE) with biliary complications were surgically treated from January 2002 to January 2009 in our hospital. A summary of the surgical procedures was categorized and compared in the current study. Results (1) Intrabiliary rupture of CE with obstructive jaundice and (or) inflammation of bile duct (51 patients). The diagnosis of biliary complications of hepatic hydatid cyst was difficult on ultrasound and CT, with sensitivity rates of 78.4% and 85.7%, respectively. MRCP was an effective, noninvasive and useful diagnostic tool in difficult cases; ERCP was used as the gold standard in confirmation. Biliary fistulae were seen in 3 patients (10.7%) treated by suturing the rupture site. In the non-sutured group, 17 patients (74%) developed biliary fistulae after surgery (P＜0.01). In three patients the fistula was a high-output type (the fistula output was greater than 250 ml/d). (2) CE communicated with the bile duct and (or) infection (210 patients): The cavity-related problems and draining time in group C (no bile duct exploration and decompression) were significantly higher than group A (biliary system explored and decompressed through the cystic duct) and group B (biliary system explored and decompressed through the common bile duct), while cavity-related problems and draining time between the A and B groups showed no significant difference. Biliary tract-related problems in group A was significantly lower than group B (P＜0. 05). Conclusions (1) MRCP was an effective, noninvasive and useful diagnostic tool; ERCP was used only as the gold standard in confirming intrabiliary rupture of liver cystic hydatid disease, and also as an effective technique for treating extended postoperative external biliary fistula. (2) This study indicated that suturing the communication at the rupture site and biliary decompression were effective with low morbidity and mortality rates. (3) Cholangiography and common bile duct exploration through the cystic duct could solve the cavity-related problems while avoiding the T-tube related problems.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of sinew-regulating and bone-setting manipulation combined with functional exercise to treat mild to moderate rotator cuff injury (RCI).Methods:Forty patients with mild to moderate RCI were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,with 20 cases in each group.The treatment group was given sinew-regulating and bone-setting manipulation combined with functional exercise,and the control group was given the same manipulation as the treatment group.The therapeutic effect on the functional improvement was assessed after treatment according to pain threshold,shoulder range of motion (ROM) including flexion,abduction,internal rotation and external rotation,and the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder rating score.Results:Compared with the same group before treatment,the pain threshold,shoulder flexion,abduction,internal and external rotations increased after the treatment in the two groups (all P＜0.05).The UCLA shoulder rating score increased (both P＜0.05).The improvement in the treatment group is significantly better than that in the control group with a statistical significance (P＜0.05).The total effective rate was 95.0％ in the treatment group,was higher than 65.0％ in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:The sinew-regulating and bone-setting manipulation combined with functional exercise relieve the pain of patients with mild to moderate RCI,increase the motion of shoulder joints,and improve the quality of life of patients.The curative effect is better than the treatment of simple sinew-regulating and bone-setting manipulation.
