Objective　To establish the normal growth velocity of fetal liver length and compare them with those of intrauterine growth retardation, pregnant diabetes and maternal-fetal blood types imcopatible. Method　Three hundred and five normal pregnant women and 24, 10, 16 pathological pregnant women of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), gestational diabetes and maternal-fetal blood types incompatible respectively had ultrasonographic measurement of fetal liver length at 18 to 42 weeks′ gestation. Results　Normal fetal liver length has a linear relation to gestational age, and showed a significantly rapid increase after 28th week with a growth rate of 1.76 mm per week, and 1.00 mm per week before 28th week (P<0.05). The growth rate of IUGR group before and after therapy were 1.19 mm and 1.23 mm per week, significantly lower than those of normal group (P<0.05). The growth rate of pregnant diabetes group before and after therapy were 1.63 mm and 1.63 mm per week, no statistical significance with normal group (P>0.05). The growth rate of maternal-fetal blood types incompatible group before therapy was 1.98 mm, showed no difference with normal group (P>0.05), but after therapy, the growth rate of fetal liver was 1.38 mm per week, significantly lower than normal group (P<0.05). Conclusion　Dynamic measurement of fetal liver length can help us to understand whether the fetus grow well in uterus and whether the treatments are effective.

Objective To observe the physiopathologic changes of lung in rats with acute ischemic kidney injury,and to study the roles of cytokine,epithelial sodium channel protein (ENaC) and aquaporin 1 (AQP1) in acute lung injury brought on by acute ischemic kidney injury in rats.Methods A total of 60 healthy male Wistar rats (300-320 g) were randomly (random number) divided into control groups (group A,n =30) and acute kidney injury group (group B,n =30).The model of acute ischemic kidney injury in rats was made by bilateral renal arteiovenous blockage with clamps.Six rats of each group were sacrificed at 0,2,4,6 and 8 hours after modeling.Lung tissue of rats was harvested and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining method,and the pathological changes of lung were observed under microscope.The ratio of wet and dry weight (W/D) of lung was calculated.The levels of protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured.The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α both in serum and BALF were tested.The concentrations of AQP1 and α-ENaC in lung were measured.Results At six hours after modeling,the pH value of arterial blood of rats in group B began to get lowered compared to group A.There was no difference in partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood between two groups during entire period of experiment (P ＞0.05).Protein level in BALF and W/D of lung increased significantly two hours after modeling in rats of group B (P ＜ 0.05).The histopathological changes of acute lung injury including swollen aleolar epithelium,widened interalveolar septum,edema of alveoli and alveolar interstitium,alveolar neurophil sequestration,erythrocytes and protein in exudates were observed.The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum and in BALF began to increase at two hours after modeling.The levels of AQP1 and α-ENaC of lung in rats with acute kidney injury decreased gradually and were lower than those in rats of group A (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Aleolar epithelial-endothelial barrier function was already compromised at the beginning of AKI,suggesting the acute lung injury was already brought on.The levels of TNF-α,IL-6 in serum and in BALF increased after the occurrence of acute kidney injury.The decreases in lung AQP1 and α-ENaC might contribute to the lung injury caused by early acute kidney injury.

Compared with hip replacement, internal fixation in the treatment of the elderly femoral neck fracture, especially the application of cannulated screws, is minimally invasive, easy to operate and economical. In recent years, it becomes the research focus in the field of orthopedic clinical research. However, configuration of cannulated screws is still controversial. Most clinicians believe that three cannulated screws being placed in parallel in an inverted triangle configuration is better than that in a triangular configuration in biomechanics and clinical effect. Nonparallel strong oblique nailing technique allows the screws to share more weight to reduce postoperative complications, so that it is more suitable for elderly patients with osteoporosis. However, the related complications of internal fixation such as nonunion, femoral neck shortening and other problems are still the focus of domestic and foreign scholars. Issues about how to control the indication of internal fixation surgery, understand related factors of the complications, and prevent complications are required to be further explored.
