Objective To compare the clinical effects of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and dynamic hip screw (DHS) in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients.And provide a reasonable basis for clinical treatment of elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.Methods The clinical and follow-up records of 58 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated by PFNA and DHS were retrospectively reviewed.For times of operation,blood loss in operation,length of incision,incidents of complication and Harris's hip functional standard score were compared and analyzed.Results PFNA group operation time[(59.61 ± 8.27)min],amount of bleeding[(234.51 ± 38.80)ml] were both better than the DHS group of[(83.54 ± 11.12)min and (446.57 ±54.01) ml] respectively.There were significant differences (t =9.80,18.10,all P < 0.05).The satisfactory rate was 92.8% in PFNA group,higher than the DHS group's 83.3 % (x2 =6.18,P < 0.05).There was significant difference between two groups in the incident of complication,DHS group was higher.Conclusion PFNA internal fixation with a minimally invasive,fixed solid and recovery fast,is the better internal fixation in the treatment of elderly intertrochanteric fracture patients.

Baylisascaris schroederi,a roundworm(ascaridoid)parasite specific to the bamboo-feeding giant panda(Ailuropoda melanoleuca),represents a leading cause of mortality in wild giant panda populations.Here,we present a 293-megabase chromosome-level genome assembly of B.schroederi to infer its biology,including host adaptations.Comparative genomics revealed an evolutionary trajectory accompanied by host-shift events in ascaridoid parasite lineages after host separations,suggesting their potential for transmission and rapid adaptation to new hosts.Genomic and anatomical lines of evidence,including expansion and positive selection of genes related to the cuticle and basal metabolisms,indicate that B.schroederi undergoes specific adaptations to survive in the sharp-edged bamboo-enriched gut of giant pandas by structurally increasing its cuticle thickness and efficiently utilizing host nutrients through gut parasitism.Additionally,we characterized the secretome of B.schroederi and predicted potential drug and vaccine targets for new control strategies.Overall,this genome resource provides new insights into the host adaptation of B.schroederi to the giant panda as well as the host-shift events in ascaridoid parasite lineages.Our findings on the unique biology of B.schroederi will also aid in the development of prevention and treatment measures to protect giant panda populations from roundworm parasitism.
