Objective: In order to popularize the use of interlocking nail, the authors reviewed 81 femoral shaft fractures in 80 patients who were treated with interlocking nail from July 1988 to October 1997. Material and Method: There are 60 males and 20 females. Forty-one fractures were of left femur and 40 of right. The average age was 33 years(range 15-79 years) . Results: The results showed that 60 cases of fractures that followed up over half a year had bony union. The complications included one bone union failure due to incorrect indication. two fractures during the operation, misinserting the proximal screw in 2, and misinserting the distal screw in 3, lengthening of the extremity in 2, valgus knee in 2, deep infection in 1, delayed infection in 1, nail broken in 3, proximal screw broken in 1, distal screw broken in 1, distal screw loosening in 2. Conclusion: 1) The indication must be correctly chosen. 2) Well-trained operative technique for interlocking nail is necessary to reduce the compli cation. 3 )The patient with old or comminuted fracture fixed with G - K nail should properly delay the time to start weight bearing.

Objective To investigate the bid gene expression and cell death in brain after cerebral hypoxia-ischemia in neonatal rats and the effects of dexamethasone(DEX)on bid gene expression,so as to elucidate the possible mechanism of the neuroprotective effect of DEX pretreatment on rats following cerebral hypoxia-ischemia.Methods Twenty-four SD neonatal rats were divided randomly into hypoxia-ischemia brain damage(HIBD),normal,dexamethasone-pretreated and 9 g/L NaCl(NS)control group.The animal models of HIBD were made.Total RNA from ipsilateral cerebral hemisphere was extracted.Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was used to evaluate the level of bid gene expression after hypoxia-ischemia.Cerebral apoptosis was determined by terminal-deoxynucleotidy transferase mediated d-UTP nick end labeling(TUNEL).Results The levels of bid mRNA were higher in HIBD rats than those in normal rats.The number of positive apoptosis cells significantly increased in HIBD group(P

Objective To investigate the prevalence rate of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in a hospital,so as to provide reference for making HAI control measures.Methods The cross-sectional survey on HAI was carried out among all hospitalized patients on May 26,2010,December 12,2012 and December 4,2013,respectively,sur-veyed data were analyzed.Results The prevalence rate was 6.66%(n =116),6.67%(n =113)and 6.33%(n =120)in 2010,2012 and 2013 respectively,and case rate was 7.29%(n=127),7.38%(n=125)and 6.97%(n=132) respectively,intensive care unit(ICU )had the highest infection rate,internal medicine ICU was up to 71 .43%. The main infection site was lower respiratory tract(44.53%),followed by surgical site infection (9.11 %)and uri-nary tract infection (9.11 %).The isolation rate of gram-negative bacteria,gram-positive bacteria and fungi was 60.81 %,20.38% and 18.81 % respectively.Usage rate of antimicrobial agents in three years was 32.95%, 29.87% and 25.59% respectively (χ2 = 13.16,P <0.01 ).Conclusion Prevalence rate of HAI in this hospital is high ,the main pathogen is gram-negative bacteria,the main infection site is lower respiratory tract ,antimicrobial use decreased year by year.Monitor on high risk departments,main sites and pathogens should be intensified.

Background and purpose: Little about the function of p53 isoforms in gastric cancer was reported. This study was designed to explore the role ofΔ133p53 in the effect of recombinant mutant human tumor necrosis factor (rmhTNF) on gastric cancer cells, and provide a new basis for the diagnostics and therapeutics of gastric carcinoma. Methods: MKN45 (withΔ133p53 expression) or SGC7901 (withoutΔ133p53 expression) cells were treated with rmhTNF of different concentrations only or combined with 5-FU (a traditional gastric cancer cellular killer), and the growth inhibition rate and apoptosis was detected by CCK-8 and lfow cytometry. mRNA expressions ofΔ133p53, Gadd45αand CyclinB1 were measured by nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (nRT-PCR) or real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Results:On MKN-45 cells with positiveΔ133p53 expression, the inhibitory effect of rmhTNF was signiifcant, the inhibition rates of 50 and 500 IU/mL rmhTNF were 24.82%, 72.33%after culturing for 24 h (t=-9.558, P<0.01);also, the inhibitory effect of 5-FU was improved by rmhTNF remarkably in time-and dose-dependence, the inhibition rates of 5-FU (25 μg/mL), rmhTNF (50 IU/mL) combined with 5-FU (25 μg/mL), rmhTNF (500 IU/mL) combined with 5-FU (25 μg/mL) were 18.20%, 48.66%, 59.83%, separately, after culturing for 24 h (F=82.742, P<0.01);the inhibition rates of rmhTNF (50 IU/mL) combined with 5-FU (25 μg/mL) were 48.66%, 68.20%, 85.23%, separately, after culturing for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h (F=128.583, P<0.01). However, on SGC-7901 cells with negativeΔ133p53 expression, no growth inhibition was showed by rmhTNF only, the inhibition rates of 50 and 500 IU/mL were 2.74%, 3.25%after culturing for 24 h (t=-0.121, P>0.05). In apoptosis test, the apopto-sis-enhancing effect of rmhTNF was signiifcant on MKN45 cells, and the apoptosis-enhancing effect of 5-FU was fur-ther promoted signiifcantly by rmhTNF, the apoptosis of rmhTNF (50 IU/mL), rmhTNF (50 IU/mL) combined with 5-FU (25 μg/mL), rmhTNF (500 IU/mL) combined with 5-FU (25 μg/mL) were 18.20%, 48.66%, 59.83%, separately, after culturing for 24 h (F=123.931, P<0.05). In mRNA measurement, down-regulation ofΔ133p53 and CyclinB1, up-regula-tion of Gadd45αwere signiifcant in MKN45 cells treated by rmhTNF alone or combined with 5-FU. In nRT-PCR anal-ysis, the mRNA levels ofΔ133p53 were relatively 0.886, 0.499, 0.330, 0.161 (F=240.927, P<0.01);In real-time PCR analysis, the mRNA levels of Gadd45αwere 1.227, 1.694, 3.394, and the mRNA levels of CyclinB1 were 1.221, 0.722, 0.316, relatively. The expression ofΔ133p53 was positively related to CyclinB1 (r=0.977, P<0.01), but negatively re-lated to Gadd45α(r=-0.950, P<0.01). Conclusion:InΔ133p53 positively expressed MKN45 cells, rmhTNF showed as an effective tumor inhibitor and an enhancer of 5-FU as well, and this effect might be helped by two p53 down-stream molecules CyclinB1 and Gadd45α. The results suggest thatΔ133p53 might be a key target for the biological effect of rmhTNF against gastric cancer.

To perform a systemic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of PET (CT) and metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) for diagnosing neuroblastoma (NB),electronic databases were searched as well as relevant references and conference proceedings.The diagnostic accuracy of MIBG and PET (CT) was calculated for NB,primary NB,and relapse/metastasis of NB based on their sensitivity,specificity,and area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (AUSROC) in terms of per-lesion and per-patient data.A total of 40 eligible studies comprising 1134 patients with 939 NB lesions were considered for the meta-analysis.For the staging of NB,the per-lesion AUSROC value of MIBG was lower than that of PET (CT) [0.8064±0.0414 vs.0.9366±0.0166 (P＜0.05)].The per-patient AUSROC value of MIBG and PET (CT) for the diagnosis of NB was 0.8771±0.0230 and 0.6851±0.2111,respectively.The summary sensitivity for MIBG and PET (CT) was 0.79 and 0.89,respectively.The summary specificity for MIBG and PET (CT) was 0.84 and 0.71,respectively.PET (CT) showed higher per-lesion accuracy than MIBG and might be the preferred modality for the staging of NB.On the other hand,MIBG has a comparable diagnosing performance with PET (CT) in per-patient analysis but shows a better specificity.

To investigate formation mechanism of secologanic acid sulfonates in sulfur-fumigated buds of Lonicera japonica, secologanic acid was enriched and purified from the sun-dried buds of L. japonica by various column chromatography on macroporus resin HPD-100, silica gel and ODS. The stimulation experiments of sulfur-fumigation process were carried out using secologanic acid reacted with SO2 in the aqueous solution. The reaction mechanism could be involved in the esterification or addition reaction. The present investigation provides substantial evidences for interpreting formation pathway of secologanic acid sulfonates in sulfur-fumigated buds of L. japonica.
