BACKGROUND:Current clinical studies seldom concern biomechanical properties of lateral plate combined with medial percutaneous lag screw. Moreover, effects of clinical application to distal tibial fractures are not investigated. OBJECTIVE:To explore biomechanical properties of lateral plate combined with medial percutaneous lag screw, and to analyze the repair effect on distal tibial fractures. METHODS:Six adult antiseptic tibia specimens were studied. Bone saw was used to make a bone defect in 1 cm length, which was fixed with lateral plate and lateral plate combined with medial percutaneous lag screw. Three point bending test, axial compression test and rotation test were performed. Clinical data of twenty cases of distal tibial fracture patients from the Department of Orthopedics of Hebei Medical University were analyzed and randomly divided into lateral plate groupand lateral plate combined with medial percutaneous lag screw group (n=10). Clinical repair effects were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Biomechanical indexes of cadaver specimens: no significant difference in torsional strength was determined between the two groups (P> 0.05). Bending stress and axial displacement were significantly lower in the lateral plate combined with medial percutaneous lag screw group than in the lateral plate group (P< 0.05). (2) Repair surgery related indicators: operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of stay and fracture healing time were significantly less in the lateral plate combined with medial percutaneous lag screw group than in the lateral plate group (P< 0.05). (3) Repair effects: There were nine cases of fracture healing in the lateral plate combined with medial percutaneous lag screw group 3 months after treatment. The total effective rate was significantly higher in the lateral plate combined with medial percutaneous lag screwgroup (90%) than in the lateral plate group (70%) (P<0.05). (4) These findings indicate that lateral plate combined with medial percutaneous lag screw has a unique advantage in resisting axial compression, torsion and bending. Its application to distal tibial fractures obtains ideal effects, can improve the clinical efficacy and stability.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is rare in children but carries high mortality.It can progress to multi-organ failure and death.The etiology,clinical manifestations,diagnosis and prognosis of pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) are different from that of adults,and vary with age.The classic adult symptoms are often absent in children and the clinical encephalopathy may not be present.Children correctly diagnosed with well-characterized causes of PALF may benefit from the early implementation of directed medical therapies.Early recognition,diagnosis,and identification of prognostic factors will help in optimizing treatment and selecting patients for liver transplantation or artificial support,and improved their survival chances.

Nearly every patient admitted into PICU is administered sedation and analgesia therapy.The precise control of the depth of sedation and the intensity of pain are often not well managed.Inappropriate treatment will cause more adverse effects.Self-assessment is considered the gold standard in pain rating,other complementary methods being the behavioural measures and the biological measures,that reflect the body's answer to pain.There is a growing need for reliable and valid sedation and pain instruments that can easily be incorporated into daily care.There are many methods for assessing pain and sedation in critical children,but none is completely accepted as an objective measure or suitable for all ages of children.The clinicians should choose appropriate assessment tools and even combine different tools according to the environment,condition and the characteristics of patients.

There are much more multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) in the intensive care unit than ever.If the doctors could distinguish the colonization from infection of MDRO,they can make right decision on the rational clinical use of antibiotics to reduce resistant organisms and nosocomial infection.However,it's a confused problem for clinicians to distinguish between colonization and infection.Bacterial culture combined with clinical symptoms and signs maybe helpful,but it is limited.There should be more objective indicators.This article was aimed to state the definition and relationship between colonization and infection,and how to determine the colonization and infection of MDRO.

Objective To explore the effect of emergency corpus luteum cystectomy for the prevention of persistent ectopic pregnancy(PEP).Methods The clinical data of 68 patients with ectopie pregnancy in emergency conservative operation were analyzed retrospectively.All patients were divided into the observation group(treated with corpus luteum cystectomy,40 cases) and control group (without corpus luteum cystectomy,28 cases).The declining of β-HCG,incidence rate of PEP were compared between the two groups.Results The incidence rate of PEP of the observation group was 0,which was obviously lower than that of the control group(10.7％) (x2 =4.47,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The emergency corpus luteum cystectomy can effectively prevent PEP and the operation is simple and convenient.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy (LAG) for advanced gastric cancer.Methods The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 108 patients undergoing radical LAG for advanced gastric cancer from March 2008 to November 2011.Results 98 out of 108 patients were followed-up,the follow-up rate was 90.7％,with medium follow-up period of 30 months (range 6-70 months).26 patients died and 3 patients developed recurrence during the follow-up period.The overall recurrence rate was 26.9％ (29/108),in which the recurrence rate was 0 for Ⅰ B cases,18.8％ (6/32) for ⅡA,30％ (6/20) for ⅡB,30.8％ (8/26) for ⅢA,and37.5％ (9/24) for ⅢB,respectively.The overall 1,2,3-year survival rates were 95.4％,88.9％,73.8％,and 1,2,3-year progression free survival rates were 93.5％,83.3％,73.8％,respectively.Conclusions Compared with open gastrectomy LAG is a safe and feasible surgical procedure with satisfactory 3-year survival in patients of advanced gastric carcinoma.

0.05),but there were significant differences on the side-effects such as itch of skin,nausea and vomiting between two groups (P

Gallbladder cancer is the most common malignancy of biliary tract with a very poor prognosis. The therapeutic strategy of gallbladder cancer has been improved in some aspects. Identifying the accurate stage is the basis of surgical treatment. Radical resection is the only choice of treatment which provides patients long survival. For most patients in T1a stage, simple cholecystectomy is adequate, but dissection of hepatoduodenal ligament should be added when the lesions located in neck and duct of gallbladder. Patients in T1b stage often need radical cholecystectomy. Radical cholecystectomy with Ⅳb and Ⅴ segmentectomy and lymphadenectomy of N2 nodes should be performed to patients in T2 stage. Extended right lobe resection can improve the prognosis of selected T3 and T4 patients.The effect of chemotherapy for gallbladder cancer remains unsatisfactory, and current chemotherapeutic regimens were based on 5-FU, gemcitabine or S-1. The effect of a new chemotherapeutic sensitization scheme with continuous infusion of somatostatin,epirubicin 5-FU/CF and cisplatin is under research, and the preliminary results are promising. Radiation shows some benefits to patients with gallbladder cancer, but its effects are still uncertain.

Colorectal cancer is induced by multiple factors.Multiple genes should be considered for the research of colorectal cancer.Single nucleotide polymorphisms,a new tumor gene researching method,play a key role in colorectal cancer researching.Finding colorectal cancer special SNP is vital for selecting high risk population and predicting the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

Purpose:To evaluate the relationship between po stoperative survival rate and three stage systems (Nevin,AJCC,JSBS) of gallbladd er carcinoma. Methods:From October 1988 to December 1998 a total of 30 patien ts with gallbladder carcinoma underwent radical resection in the Xinhua Hospital . All patients were classified by 3 different methods of staging.The 1-year,3- year ,5-year postoperative survival rates were evaluated according to the stage . Results:All patients with stage Ⅰ were alive. There were less cases in Nevin’s stageⅡ,Ⅲ. The 3-year,5-year survival rates in patients wit h Nevin’s stage Ⅱ,Ⅲ were better than the other two classifications. The 5-ye ar survival rates in patients with Nevin’s stage Ⅲ were better than those with Nevin’s stage Ⅳ. The 3-year,5-year survival rates in patients with Nevin’s stage Ⅳ/Ⅴ were significantly better than the other two classifications (P
