BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that a single injection of smal-dose simvastatin can significantly improve bone microstructure and promote trabecular bone remodeling of the femoral condyle after osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of local single injection of simvastatin on the prognosis of mild-to-moderate unstable humeral fractures. METHODS:A total of 93 patients with mild-to-moderate unstable humeral fracture were selected and randomized into injection group (49 cases) and normal group (44 cases). The normal group received normal physical therapy, and the injection group underwent local single injection of simvastatin based on the physical therapy. Bone mineral density and healing time were compared between two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no difference in the bone mineral density between the two groups within 2 weeks after treatment (P>0.05), but the bone mineral density was significantly higher in the injection group than the normal group at 1-2 months after treatment (P<0.05). In addition, the injection group was superior to the normal group in the fol owing aspects:incidence of complications, excel ent-good rate of joint function recovery, and hospital stay. These findings indicate that the local injection of simvastatin based on conventional physical therapy can shorten the time of fracture healing, increase bone mineral density and improve the prognosis of patients with mild-to-moderate unstable proximal humeral fractures.

Objective:To investigate the off-label drug use in the outpatients of Zhengzhou children's hospital in 2013 to provide the evidence for improving the rational drug use in pediatrics. Methods:The prescriptions of outpatients were randomly selected from January to December in 2013. According to the drug instruction, the off-label drug uses were analyzed in the following aspects: sam-pling conditions, the kinds of off-label drug use, the incidence of off-label drug use in different age groups and drug categories. Re-sults:A total of 8 684 prescriptions with 16 344 medical records involving 410 kinds of drugs were analyzed, and the rate of off-label drug use was 70. 87% for prescription, 51. 21% for medical orders and 71. 95% for category, respectively. The primary types of off-label drug use were over applicable people (50. 83%), dosage(21. 00%) and frequency (19. 04%). The top 3 age groups with high-est off-label drug use rate were neonates (63. 27%), infants (56. 20%) and school-age (44. 98%). The top 5 drugs with highest off-label drug use rate were cardiovascular system medicines (99. 02%), anti-infective agents (64. 14%), vitamin and mineral drugs (62. 89%), hematological system medicines (59. 48%) and Chinese patent drugs (53. 43%). Conclusion: Off-label drug use in outpatients is prevalent. Physicians should master indications, usage and dosage described in instructions, select suitable dosage form, reduce off-label drug use and improve drug safety in pediatrics.

Objective To investigate the pathogen characteristics of perforated appendicitis in children and the perioperative use of antimicrobials in order to provide evidence for the rational use of perioperative antibiotics. Methods The perioperative usage of antibiotics was analyzed to determine the reasonableness of antimicrobial use in children with perforated appendicitis who were discharged from July 2011 to August 2014,based on“guidelines of clinical use of antibiotics”and results of bacterial culture. Results Inflammatory secretions obtained from 126 children(126/ 149)were sent for examination and the examination rate was 84.56%.A total of 117 cases were found positive for cultured pathogens,and the detection positive rate was 92.86%.Three types of bacteria ranking the first three places were Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and CitroBacter freundii.The utilization rate of antibacterial agents was 100.00%,with a dominant use of cephalosporins and nitrate imidazoles. Rational use of antimicrobial agents was found in 144 cases(accounting for 96.64%). Conclusion The major pathogen in perforated appendicitis is still Escherichia coli,which is highly sensitive to commonly used antibiotics,and drug-sensitivity testing results can help guide the treatment programs and antibiotics selection.

BACKGROUND:Open fracture of tibia and fibula is a common fracture of long bones. Simple external fixation is often difficult to achieve thorough and effective reduction and fixation. Shortcomings of open reduction and internal fixation highlighted in the high incidence of postoperative complications, and seriously affected the recovery of joint function. Therefore, external fixation combined with internal fixation for repair of open fractures of tibia and fibula has been extensively used in the clinic.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the repair efficacy of bilateral external fixation combined with limited internal fixation on open fractures of middle and distal tibia and fibula.
METHODS: Clinical data of 56 patients, who were identified by X-ray or CT examination and were diagnosed as having open fractures of middle and distal tibia and fibula in the Jining No.1 People’s Hospital, as the treatment group, were retrospectively analyzed from January 2009 to January 2013. Patients were subjected to thorough debridement, reduction of the fracture fragments, limited internal fixation and fixed bilateral external fixation within 8 hours. They received stage I suture. When the local conditions of the wound permitted, they received stage II grafting, and were repaired with adjacent muscle flap or free flap. The efficacy and postoperative complication were observed. Above data were compared with those of 44 patients with open fractures of middle and distal tibia and fibula who received reduction and internal fixation (control group).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Among the 56 patients in the treatment group, the outcomes were excelent in 35 cases, good in 16 cases, average in 4 cases and poor in 1 case. The excelent and good rate was 91%. Among the 44 patients in the control group, the outcomes were excelent in 23 cases, good in 10 cases, average in 7 cases and poor in 4 cases. The excelent and good rate was 75%. The excelent and good rate was significantly higher in the treatment group than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Significant differences in incision length, operation time, fracture healing time and bone nonunion rate were detected between the two groups, and above indexes were better in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). These findings verify that bilateral external fixation combined with limited internal fixation for open fractures of middle and distal tibia and fibula is reliable, can significantly reduce postoperative complications after internal fixation, promote the healing of fracture, and is conducive to the early recovery training of the affected limb.

OBJECTIVE:To provide baseline data for the formulation of the strategy for medical institutions in China. METH-ODS:3 600 discharged medical records were randomly collected from our hospital in 2013. According to drug package inserts,the judgment was carried out about whether off-label drug use existed in medical orders. The types of off-label drug use,off-label drug use of children in different age groups and of various drugs were all analyzed. RESULTS:A total of 3 268 hospitalized children were includ-ed,and 35 523 medical orders were analyzed,involving 468 types. Based on children,medical orders and drug types,the incidence of off-label drug use were 91.34%,35.72%and 48.72%,respectively. The types of off-label drug use mainly included pediatric medica-tion information(74.21%), exceeding route of administration(8.12%)and overage(8.45%). The top 3 age groups with respect to the incidence of off-label drug use were adolescents(42.42%),neonate(37.97%)and infant(35.48%). Top 4 drugs of off-label use in the list of medical orders were anti-infective drugs(23.65%),electrolytic,drugs for acid-base balance and nutrition(12.21%), drugs for respiratory system(36.84%)and cardiovascular drugs(63.21%). CONCLUSIONS:The off-label drug use of hospitalized children is common in our hospital. It is urgent to develop related laws and regulations or guidelines to regulate off-label drug use in or-der to ensure the safety of pediatric drug use.

OBJECTIVETo study whether previously intravenous injection of anisodamine can prevent endotoxemia of heat stroke of rats.

METHODSExperimental animals were randomly divided into two groups, their average artery pressure, heart rate, survival time, survival rate and rectal temperature were measured at an environmental temperature of 38 degrees C-40 degrees C and 50%-60% retative humidity. Blood samples for endotoxins analyses were taken both before and after heat-stress.

RESULTSDuring heat stress, the animals of rectal temperature of the experimental and control groups continuously increased and two hours later, separately to (42.7 +/- 0.6) degree C and (43.1 +/- 0.5) degree C, without statistic difference(P > 0.05), and to (44.6 +/- 0.4) degree C and (44.2 +/- 0.3) degree C prior to death, with statistic difference(P < 0.05). Before the experiment, the contents of endotoxins of portal vein blood were (45.7 +/- 5.2) pg/ml and (42.6 +/- 5.4) pg/ml, and that of systemic blood was (14.8 +/- 4.5) pg/ml and (13.9 +/- 7.2) pg/ml, without statistic difference(P > 0.05). Two hours later, the contents of portal vein blood separately increased to (122.2 +/- 16.7) pg/ml and (49.7 +/- 10.2) pg/ml, obviously higher than that before heat-stress(P < 0.01). And there were clear statistic difference between the two groups(P < 0.01). The changing tendency of the heart rhythm is almost the same in two groups, that is, first rose and then fell. But it is without statistic difference before and two hours later(P > 0.05): before heat-stress, the average artery pressures were (13.3 +/- 0.6) kPa and (13.6 +/- 0.5) kPa, without statistic difference(P > 0.05), and two hours later, were (9.6 +/- 0.5) kPa and (8.6 +/- 0.6) kPa, with obvious statistic difference(P < 0.01). The survival time of the animals were (166.5 +/- 16.9) min and (144.5 +/- 18.2) min with obvious statistic difference(P < 0.01), the survival rate of heat stressed rats in the experimental group were obviously higher than control group(P < 0.01 or P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSAnisodamine can prevent endotoxemia in rats suffering heat stroke.

Objective: To observe the effects of blueberry and nuclear expression of transcription factor-кb (NF-кb) p65 in an experimental rat model of liver fibrosis. Methods: Forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into isotonic saline control group (A); model group (B); blueberry juice prevention group (C, 15 g/kg); dan-shao-hua-xian capsule prevention group (D, 1 g/kg); and blueberry juice + dan-shao-hua-xian capsule prevention group (E). Rat liver fibrosis model was established by covalent compound carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄). Each prevention group was given the corresponding dose of blueberry juice or (and) dan-shao-hua-xian capsule, and the rats were sacrificed after 8 weeks. The degree of liver fibrosis was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin stain. A liver tissue of NF-κBp65 was detected by immunohistochemical method. The NF-κBp65 protein expression of liver tissue and transforming growth factor (TGF) β1 was detected by Western blot. Data of multiple groups were compared by one-way analysis of variance, and rank sum test. Results: Immunohistochemistry detected that TGFβ1 protein was mainly expressed in mesenchymal origin of hepatic stellate cells. The expression level of group A (3.75 ± 1.67) was low, while those of group B (9.00 ± 2.07), C (7.33 ± 1.00), D (6.00 ± 1.51), and E (3.5 ± 1.41) were high. However, the expression level of TGF-β1 protein in hepatic tissues of group B was significantly higher than that of group C, D and E [group E: 3.5 ± 1.41, F = 18.350, P < 0.05]. In addition, group D was higher than group E (P < 0.05). The expression of NF- kappa Bp65 protein was very complex, and the expression patterns in different groups were different (Statistical calculation of experimental data were based on expression of liver cells). Compared with group B (4.37 ± 2.13), the relative expression levels of NF-κBp65 protein in-group A (0.46 ± 0.25), group C (2.76 ± 1.01), group D (2.13 ± 1.51), group E (1.88 ± 0.99) were significantly decreased (F = 27.490, P < 0.05), and the expression trend was consistent with TGFβ1 protein. Western blot detected NF-κBp65 protein in liver tissues of rats. Compared with group A, levels in groups B, C, D and E were significantly increased (F = 96.983, P < 0.05), and groups C, D and E were significantly lower. The E group was significantly lower than the C group (F = 96.983, P < 0.05), and the degree of hepatic fibrosis was lower in each prevention group than in the B group (T = 24.1, P < 0.05). Conclusion Blueberries have preventive effect on CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats, and its preventive mechanism may inhibit the expression and activation of NF-κBp65 in hepatocytes, thereby reducing TGFβ1- mediated production or activation.
