BACKGROUND:Topical tranexamic acid (TXA) administration has been described to be effective in decreasing blood loss in total hip arthroplasty (THA).Most of research focus on the postoperative total drainage,but the drainage at different time points after replacement is little reported.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of topical TXA on the volume of drainage at different time points after THA.METHODS:Data of 79 cases of primary unilateral THA were analyzed retrospectively,and allotted to two groups.TXA group (n=38) was subjected to the reverse perfusion of 1.5 g of TXA (50 mL) by drainage tube after THA,and control group (n=41) was given 50 mL of normal saline in the same way.The postoperative drainage at 1,2 and 3 days,total postoperative drainage,and hemoglobin level at postoperative 3 days were collected and compared between two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in the baseline data between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).(1) The postoperative drainage at 1 day and total drainage in the TXA group was significantly lower than that in the control group,and the drainage showed no significant difference at postoperative 2 and 3 days between two groups (P ＞0.05).(2) The hemoglobin level was significantly increased in the TXA group compared with the control group at 3 days postoperatively (P ＜ 0.05).(3) To conclude,the topical TXA administration can reduce the postoperative drainage in primary unilateral THA,especially at the first day.

Objectives:To investigate in vitro tumor killing effect of recombinant human perforin C terminal truncated 125 amino acid polypeptide (rhPFP C) and N terminal truncated 118 amino acid polypeptide (rhPFP N, 22 139aa) using liver cancer cell line SMMC 7721 as target cells. Methods:Recombinant human PFP C and PFP N peptide were expressed by E.coli in fusion form with glutathione S transferase(GST), and were purified by affinity chromatography with glutathione agarose. Liver cancer cell line SMMC 7721 was treated with fusion proteins in different concentrations for 24 h before surviving cells were measured with microscopy and colorimetric MTT assay. Results:After treatment with rhPFP C or rhPFP N, SMMC 7721 cell membrane damaged, appeared lysis. In MTT assay, optical density values in test group were significantly lower than those in control group. At concentration of 2.5 ?g/ml, the killing activity of rhPFP C and rhPFP N were 33.38% and 5.90% respectively. Conclusions:Both rhPFP C and rhPFP N showed obvious killing effect on liver cancer cell line SMMC 7721.The activity of rhPFP C was great higher than that of rhPFP N.

Objective To explore the measures to prevent recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN)injury during thyroid surgery.Methods The clinical data of 223 patients undergone thyroid surgery were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 223 surgeries,69 sides were undergone regional protection act of RLN and 191 sides were performed RLN exposure.Results There were 2 cases of RLN injury from the regional protection operation of RLN,including 1 case of temporary nerve injury which could be resulted from surgery clamp and 1 case of permanent nerve injury which might be caused by mistaking ligation during surgery.There was only 1 case of temporary nerve injury in RLN exposure procedure which was probably caused by the postoperative nerve edema and was recovered 2 months after the operation.The total RLN injury rate was 1.35％.Conclusion For benign thyroid lesions and non-dorsal lesions or during partial excision of the gland,the regional protection of RLN is helpful to prevent RLN injury.In cases with dorsal lesions of thyroid or contralateral RLN injury,or during lobe subtotal resection,lobe resection and reoperation,exposing RLN to prevent injury is necessary.Taking different approaches based on the profiles of lesions and surgical procedures to prevent RLN injury can significantly reduce the risk of RLN injury.

Objective To explore the way to compile a global military medical literature collection and perspectives for its research.Methods The names of military medical research institutions and their trends of development were summa-rized via semantic analysis.The collection of retrieval words for military medical research institutions( then the collection) was constructed based on expert consultation.The names of military medical research institutions were collect-ed with manual screening after retrieval withthe collection.The literature collection of military medical research institu-tions was completed with coordinated retrieved of their papers and other publications.Results According to different needs of information analysis, the literature collection of military medical research institutions could be analyzed in terms of their size, types of development, and academic authority.Conclusion Based onthe collection, the military medical research institutions collected in this article included institutions that used to be neglected during the course of information tracking of military medicine.Three kinds of institutions should be paid more attention to.The institutions were the ones with a large number of papers and citations, the ones whose papers increased or decreased dramatically, as well as the ones whose research directions were the priority fields of Chinese PLA.

Objective To evaluate diagnostic value of mitral regurgitation jet volume(MRvol) in the quantification of mitral regurgitation severity by general imaging three-dimensional quantification (GI3DQ) using the guideline recommended 2D integrative method as a reference.Methods Ninety-three patients with MR were divided into central MR group(n =41) and eccentric MR group(n =52).The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE)-recommended 2D integrative method was used as a reference for MR grading and MRvol was directly measured by GI3DQ method.Results In central MR,as assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis,the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.87(P <0.0001), and MRvol by GI3DQ at a cutoff value of 16.2 ml yielded 96.2% of sensitivity and 63.6% of specificity to differentiate mild from moderate MR;the AUC was 0.98(P < 0.0001),and a cutoff value of 47.8 ml yielded 98.6% of sensitivity and 96.2% of specificity to differentiate moderate from severe MR. In eccentric MR,the AUC was 0.76(P =0.086),and MRvol at a cutoff value of 14.8 ml yielded 90.9% of sensitivity and 60.0% of specificity to differentiate mild from moderate MR;the AUC was 0.84(P <0.0001) and a cutoff value of 40.7 ml yielded 80.0% of sensitivity and 79.7% of specificity to differentiate moderate from severe MR.Conclusions MRvol measured directly by GI3DQ could more exactly evaluate MR severity,and have better sensitivity and specificity to differentiate moderate from severe MR in central MR.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of clivo-axial angle(CAA)in the posterior approach for patients with unstable upper cervical spine.Methods Twenty-one patients with unstable upper cervical spine treated with posterior approach surgery from October 2014 to March 2016 were included in this study,and the patients were divided into the decompression group(11 cases)and the non-decompression group (10 cases)according to whether the intraoperative decompression was included.The clivo-axial angle(CAA) were measured by mobile three-dimensional before and after the surgery in order to estimate the reduction of spinal cord compression effect after the posterior cervical surgery combined with the reduction,fixation and bone graft fusion,then to guide the restoration.CT was used to measure the CAA and MR was used to measure the cervico-medullary angle(CMA)before operation and 3 months after operation.Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA)scores was used to evaluate the neurological function 6 months after operation.Results All patients were followed up for 6-12 months.CMA((156.3±3.6°)vs.(155.9±2.7°))and CAA((154.3±5.1°)vs. (151.3±4.7°))of the decompression group and the non-decompression group at 3 months after surgery were improved significantly compared with those collected before the surgery(CMA:(131.5 ± 0.6°)vs.(131.1 ±0.5°);CAA:(133.2 ± 1.7°)vs.(132.4 ± 1.2°)),the differences were statistically significant(CMA: t=-21.81,P=0.00 vs.t=-28.54,P=0.00;CAA: t=-12.44,P=0.00 vs.t=-11.68,P=0.00).After operation,CAA((152.3 ± 1.3)vs.(132.6 ± 1.5))was significantly improved,compared with that before reduction((131.1±1.9)vs.(132.4±1.5°))(t=-30.09,P=0.00 vs.t=-35.93,P=0.00).JOA scores of the two groups at 6 months after operation((9.8±1.3)points vs.(10.3±1.7)points)were significantly lower than those before the surgery((7.1 ± 0.7)points vs.(7.6 ± 1.1)points),the differences were statistically significant(t=6.01,P=0.00 vs.t=4.36,P=0.00).No complications such as fixed failure,infection,spinal cord injury and vertebral artery injury were found in all patients.Conclusion For patients with upper cervical spine instability,the usage of intraoperative three-dimensional C arm scanning in CAA measurement to determine the effect of spinal cord compression can guide the reduction,simple and feasible,the clinical effect is satisfactory.

Berberine (BBR) is a natural isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from coptis chinensis.Berberine has several pharmacological activities,including disease-resistant microorganisms,anti-inflammatory,anti-tumor,heart protection,hypoglycemia,regulation of lipid metabolism and immunomodulatory properties.However,BBR's effects on neurodegenerative diseases remained relatively unexplored until its ability to stunt AD progression was characterized.Substantial studies suggest that berberine may be beneficial to AD by limiting the pathogenesis of extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles.The studies in recent years have also found that berberine can additionally treat AD by affecting neurotransmitter,anti-oxidative stress,metabolism and other multi-target pathways.This article discusses the treatment pathway of berberine on AD,and summarizes the inhibition mechanism of berberine on AD.
