Objective To explore the effects of using standardized patients(SP)to clinical practicing teaching in traumato-osteology. Methods The records of theory exam, case aggregate analysis ability and clinical technical skills of the SP teaching group (SP group) and traditional teaching group(T group) were compared. Results The records of theory exam of the two groups had no significant difference (86.5 ±9.5 VS 82.3 ± 11.7,P>0.05). However, the case aggregate analysis ability of SP group (78.3 ±9.7) was obviously higher than that in control group (65.3 ±7.7), and the records of clinical technical skills of SP group were not significantly higher than control group (85.6 ±9.4 VS72.4 ± 11.6,P>0.05) . More of the students were generally satisfied with SP teaching model. Conclusion The using of SP acted by teachers is helpful to enhancing the clinical skills and thinking and maybe a considerable assisting teaching method in traumato-osteology.

Objective To explore the risk factors of lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with traumatic fractures so as to provide references for prevention of DVT. Methods A total of 1 068 patients with traumatic fractures were involved in the study to analyze the incidence of DVT under 43 risk factors including general state, injury type, fracture condition and operation and screen significant factors for multiple factor analysis. Results The total incidence rate of DVT in 1 068 patients was 12.0%. The univariate analysis showed that male patients at age >60 years, with BMI≥25 kg/m2, history of smoking, lack of exercises, history of diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease had higher incidence rate of DVT. In different injury types, the fall injury caused the highest incidence rate of DVT (45.6%). There were different DVT rates for different fracture position,with the highest incidence rate of DVT for femur shaft fracture (20.5%). The incidence rate of DVT was 51.7% for fractures of more than three parts, 14.2% for fractures of two parts and only 3.7% for sole part. The incidence rate of DVT for comminuted fractures was higher than the overall rate. The operation duration, massive transfusion during operation and epidural anesthesia were related with the increase of incidence of DVT. Multivariate analysis found nine independent risk factors and showed that the more risk factors were, the higher incidence of DVT was. Conclusions The risk factors of DVT for traumatic fractures include age >60 years, BMI≥25 kg/m2, history of smoking, fall injury, more than three parts of fractures, comminuted fractures, operation duration > 2 hours, massive transfusion during operation and epidural anesthesia.

AIM:To assess changes of tear film function in patients after pterygium excision combined with amniotic membrane transplantation.
METHODS:Totally 126 patients with pterygium excision with amniotic membrane transplantation from January 2011 to November 2013 were entered in the study. The tear breakup time ( BUT) , the Schirmer I test ( SⅠt) and tear ferning test ( TFT ) were elevated in the patients before and after pterygium excision combined with amniotic membrane transplantation. The examnation times were 1d before surgey, 1wk, 1, 2mo after surgery. Operation eyes were studied group, while opposite healthy eyes as control group.
RESULTS: Compared with the control group, BUT and TFT were significantly different in the eyes with pterygium (P<0. 05); However, no obvious difference was detected in the results of SⅠt (P>0. 05). The results of BUT and TFT at 1mo after surgery in study group were significantly better than 1wk (P<0. 05), while no significant difference compared with 2mo (P>0. 05); The tear film stability in the study group at 1wk after surgery was still inferior to the control group (P<0. 05) and there was no significant difference at 1, 2mo after surgery (P all>0. 05). SⅠt results did not differ between the different examination times(P>0. 05).
CONCLUSION:Tear film stability was broken in the eyes with pterygium. Pterygium excision combined with amniotic membrane transplantation can obviously restore the tear film function into normal state, and the tear film function could reach steady-state 1mo after surgery.

AIM: To determine the association between subfoveal choroidal thickness before therapy and therapeutic activity in diabetic macular edema.
METHODS: The current study was a retrospective study, which included 32 patients ( 32 eyes ) diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy and macular edema. All the patients were firstly treated with intravitreal injections of ranibizumab. Main outcome measures were included the subfoveal choroidal thickness, central macular thickness and best-corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) at preoperation and postoperative visit at 3mo.
RESULTS: After 3 monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab, the BCVA was significantly higher than that before therapy and accompanied with significantly reduced thickness of subfoveal choroid and central fovea of macula. Spearman analysis was revealed that a greater baseline subfoveal choroidal thickness was associated with a better BCVA (rs=0. 544, P=0. 036).
CONCLUSION:In the therapy of intravitreal injections of ranibizumab on diabetic macular edema, there seems to be a better BCVA in the patients with a greater baseline subfoveal choroidal thickness. Therefore, baseline subfoveal choroidal thickness may be a useful predictor for the therapy of diabetic macular edema.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the stress distribution in the abutment periodontal ligament of posterior cantilever bridge under transient dynamic loads using a three-dimensional finite element(FE) model.
METHODSA cantilever bridge using 5, 6 as abutments to restore missing 7 was designed, and its FE model was established and loaded with dynamic loads. The loads were set as 250 N occlusal forces loaded at different positions on the cantilever, and in different directions to simulate the masticatory cycle. FE analysis was conducted on the ANSYS to analyze stress distributions in abutment periodontal ligament under dynamic loads. Stress-time curves were traced to understand the biomechanical behavior of abutment periodontal ligament.
RESULTSWith loading and unloading time accumulated, the stress value in the abutment periodontal ligament increased gradually. Loads in lateral direction induced peak value stress in a masticatory cycle. There was little residual stress in the end of unloading phase. The maximum stress concentrated in abutment periodontal ligament adjacent to the missing tooth. Without restoration abutment periodontal ligament was mainly under compressive stress. However, when 7 was restored with a cantilever bridge, tensile stress was shown in the mesial cervical area of 5, Three masticatory cycles were simulated, and stress values in abutment periodontal ligaments increased with the number of masticatory cycles. But the differences of the stress between different masticatory cycles were not significant.
CONCLUSIONSIn the mastication movement, lateral loads induce maximum stress in abutment periodontal ligament. Cantilever fixed bridge design is more demanding for the periodontal condition of the abutment adjacent to the missing tooth than for the other abutment. When loaded with continuous masticatory force, the stress concentration does not increase significantly. Therefore, cantilever bridge is one of the feasible choices to restore missing lower second molar.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after endovascular therapy in patients with peripheral arterial diseases and to evaluate the conformance of serum cystatin C (Cys C) and serum creatinine in diagnosis of CIN. Methods In this prospective,single center study,in-hospital patients with peripheral arterial diseases undergoing non-emergency endovascular therapy from July 2010 to April 2011 in our hospital were enrolled.CIN was defined asScr increase ≥25% after angiography.General clinical characteristics and blood biochemical parameters were compared between the non-CIN and CIN groups.Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors.Changes compared to baseline level in serum creatinine and Cys C at predefined time-points were evaluated.Results A total of 367 patients were enrolled in the study.The proportions of patients with diabetes mellims and treatment with diuretics before angiography,contrast-media dosage were significantly higher in the CIN group than those in non-CIN group (P<0.05,<0.01,<0.01).Logistic regression analysis indicated that diabetes mellitus,contrast-media dosage were risk factors for CIN.Several serum Cys C increase criteria at 24 hours after contrast media exposure all had low sensitivity for predicting a Scr increase ≥25%.Only small overlapped regions were found in Venn diagram between several increasing criteria according to serum Cys C and serum creatinine criterion. Conclusions Diabetes mellitus,contrast-media dosage are independent risk factors for CIN.The results of several increasing criteria according to serum Cys C in evaluating contrast-induced AKI are not coincident well with that of serum creatinine criterion.
