BACKGROUND:With the continuous development and progress of medical model, the treatment and rehabilitation recovery from peripheral nerve defects needs higher requirements; therefore, stem cel culture-based nerve tissue engineering technology provides a new strategy for nerve defect repair. OBJECTIVE:To explore the feasibility of combining bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and new nerve conduits to repair peripheral nerve defects. METHODS:Fifty New Zealand white rabbits, clean grade, were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 25 rabbits in each group. Animal models of peripheral nerve defects were made about 15 mm distant to the middle segment of the radius of the rabbit foreleg. At 1 week after modeling, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/new nerve conduit composite material was implanted into the defect in the experimental group; and in the control group, only bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were transplantation. At 4 weeks after transplantation, a 5-mm nerve fiber was taken from the defect site, stained with hematoxylin-eosin and observed under scanning electron microscope. Density and diameter of regenerated nerve fibers were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the density of nerve fibers was significantly higher in the experimental group, but the diameter of nerve fibers was significantly lower (P < 0.05). There were more cels with good growth, large size and many processes on the surface of regenerated nerve tissues in the experimental group than the control group. Moreover, in the experimental group, interconnected cels were woven into a mesh and the axons were longer and thicker, both of which were the performance of typical neuron-like cels. Taken together, the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/new nerve conduit composite material can be used for peripheral nerve repair and present exact achievements.

Objective To study the factors leading to intramedullary pressure (IMP) change during openintramedullynailing (OIMN) of fresh femoral fractures and the relation between fat intravasation and IMP. MethodFifty patients with femoral fractures were submitted to OIMN in early stage after injury. Before operation, a hollow probe was screwed into the medullary cavity and linked with a monitor to record the dynamic pressure change during the OIMN process. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to their IMP. 5ml blood was taken from femoral vein of the affected limb individually before operation and just after fixation of the intramedullary nail. The blood clots were made into frozen sections and stained by oil red-O to find the free fat.The positive rate of free fat in pathological detection between patients with increased IMP and those without were compared.Result(1) Increased IMP could be recorded in some patients with "piston effect" resulted from a certain condition during OIMN. (2) For patients with increased IMP, the positive rate of free fat through pathological detection during the operation was significantly higher than that of before (p(o. ol),but that of patients without increased IMP did not change significantly. The positive rates of the two groups did not have significant difference than those of before operation. During operation, the positive rate of patients with increased IMP was significant higher than that of patients without pressure imcreasing(P

Objective:To study memory changes in patients with non-demented Parkinson disease(PD) without depression.Methods:The Nissen Version(serial reaction time task,SRTT) software(as a task of procedural learning),the WMS-CR and two tasks of implicit memory were applied in 16 PD patients(Hoehn-Yahr score I~Ⅱdegrees).Normal controls enrolled for the Nissen Version either.Results In the explicit WMS-CR and the implicit(word stem completion and degraded picture naming) tasks,the patients' scores fell within normal limits(Memory Quotient 97.1?10.6).In the SRTT,normal control group displayed significantly reduced response times(F=2.54,P=0.008) and error rates(3.2 ?0.9% to 6.8 ?2.7%,t=-2.08,P=0.045) across the blocks of repeated sequence trials.By contrast,PD patients only showed a reduction in error rates(4.7?2.0% to 3.7?1.8%,t=-2.15,P=0.038) but no change in response times.Conclusion:Impairment of nigrostriatal pathways selectively affects performance in visuo-motor learning tasks such as the SRTT,but not in the explicit tasks of WMS-CR and the implicit tasks such as word stem completion and degraded picture naming.

Objective To evaluate the effect of bilateral subthalamic nuclei deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on anxiety and depression of patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods Forty-one consecutive patients with refractory motor fluctuations and dyskinesia were assessed with Hoehn & Yahr scale, Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Ⅲ (UPDRSⅢ), HADS, PD Questionnaire Chinese version (PDQ-39) a week before surgery and 12 months after the surgical procedure. Results The scores of UPDRSⅢ, HADS and PDQ-39 significantly increased after STN-DBS treatment (all P

Objective To explore the treatment of fractures of symphysiolysis /superior and inferior ramus of pubis and sacrum. Methods We treated 11 cases of fractures of symphysiolysis / superior and inferior ramus of pubis and sacrum with pubic symphysis double plate +sacrum rods, and analyzed the clinical results of the operation. Results All the 11 cases were followed up for a period of 6 months to 2 years. 2 cases had numbness of perineum and foot drop which were cured with posterior tibial muscle tendon translocation. 1 case had chronic pain in sacroiliac region, and needed antalgica occasionally. The others had a satisfactory recovery. Conclusion For fracture of symphysiolysis /superior and inferior ramus of pubis and sacrum, pubic symphysis double plate +sacrum rods can get a good clinical result.

Objective To investigate emergency management strategies and risk factors for mortality of open pelvic fractures associated with anorectal injuries.Methods Between April 2001 to April 2010,25 patients of open pelvic fractures associated with anorectal injuries were admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital and Laigang Hospital,and early emergency treatments of this injury were retrospectively studied.Of these 25 patients,23 were male and the remaining 2 were female,and the mean age was 30.1±10.9 years (range,16-56 years).Fisher's exact test and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors related to mortality caused by this injury.Results Of the 25 patients,19 survived,other 6 patients were dead.The overall mortality was 24%.Fisher's exact test identified that the following risk factors including Tile classification,ISS,GCS and RTS were associated with the injury mortality.Patients with Tile C pelvic fracture ,ISS ≥ 25 points,GCS≤8 points or RTS≤8 points had a high probability of resulting in death.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed with the four variables noted above,and the results demonstrated that RTS ≤ 8 points was the only independent risk factor for mortality of patients with this injury.Conclusion Stabilization of hemodynamic condition,aggressive debridement and irrigation of the wound,early diversion of the fecal stream and early stabilization of pelvic fracture are critical strategies for the emergency management of open pelvic fractures associated with anorectal injuries.Furthermore,based on our findings,it can be concluded that RTS≤8 was reliable for predicting the probability of death in patients with this injury.

Objective To evaluate the result of percutaneous internal fixation in treatment of uncomminuted ankle fractures (inner malleolus,extemal malleolus and ventral condyle). Methods A total of 26 patients with uncomminuted ankle fractures at age range of 20-55 years(mean 35.2 years)were treated with closed reduction and percutaneous internal fixation by screws,eannulated screws or Kirschuer pins under C-arm X-ray scan.All patients were followed up for 12-24 months(mean 14 months).Results All fractures were healed successfully.with healing time of 8-24 weeks(mean 10.3 weeks).According to Bourne Standard,excellent ankle function results were reposed in 15 patients,good in 9 and fair in 2,with excellence rate of 92%.There was no implant failure,postoperative infection or dehiscence. Conclusions With advantage of early rehabilitation and minor incision of the affected ankles,closed reduction and percutaneous internal fixation can be selected for transverse or oblique uncomminuted ankle fractures,especially for those patients with severe swelling or skin injury.

ObjectiveTo investigate the results of open reduction with internal fixation for high anterior column fracture of acetabulum with intact true pelvic brim.MethodsFrom January 2006 to January 2010,12 patients suffered high anterior column fracture of acetabulum without involvement of true pelvic brim were identified.There were 9 males and 3 females,with the average of 35.6 years(range,29-46).The injury was caused by crush in 7 cases,smash of heavy object in 3 cases,and fall-down from height in 2 cases.These fractures were classified into three types:isolated high anterior column fracture of acetabulum without involvement of true pelvic brim,high anterior column fracture of acetabulum without involvement of true pelvic brim with posterior wall fracture of acetabulum and commminuted high anterior column fracture of acetabulum without involvement of true pelvic brim according to present and unpresent of posterior wall fracture.Five cases suffered isolated fracture and 2 cases associated smaller and nondisplacement fracture fragment of posterior wall were reduced and fixed by buttress plate of iliac crest and lag screw of anterior border of ilium through an iliofemoral approach; 4 cases with displacement posterior wall fracture of acetabulum were reduced and reconstructed by buttress plate and lag screws of through combinations of anterior and posterior approaches.One case suffered comminuted fracture were reduced and reconstructed by plates and screws of through extended iliofemoral approach.ResultsThe mean follow-up time of all patients was 26.7 months (range,14-37months).The quality of reduction was grade as anatomical in 8 patients,imperfect in 3,poor in 1 by Matta's score system.The fracture union was uneventful.There was nonunion and loss of internal fixation.At the final follow-up,the mean score was 16.8 (range,11-18),7 cases were graded as excellent,4 good,1 fair,according to modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel score system.Heterotopic ossification and traumatic osteoarthritis were recorded in 1 patient.ConclusionGood clinical results can be achieved by anatomical reduction and rigid fixation through optimal approach.

Objective To explore the efficacy of temporary occlusion of abdominal aorta in the treatment of massive bleeding after pelvic fracture.Methods From May 2003 to May 2010,temporary occlusion of abdominal aorta was performed for 23 patients with massive bleeding after pelvic fracture.There are 15 male and 8 female patients with a mean age of 32 years (range,17-62 years).The mechanisms of injury included traffic accidents in 17 cases,falls in 4,engine injury in 1 and crash injury in 1 case.According to AO classification,4 cases were of type B2,4 of type B3,2 of type B3,1 of type C1,4 of type C2,and 12 of type C3.After aorta occlusion,the internal iliac vessel was ligated and the bleeding sites were tamponed.The fractures of pelvis were reduced.External fixation was used in 17 cases and screws and plates were used to fixation in 6 cases.Results All cases were rescued successfully.The average volume of blood transfusion was 4000 ml (range,1500-8500 ml).Intraoperative self-blood transfusion was performed in 14 patients.The average volume of self-blood transfusion was 1500 ml (range,700-5000 ml).Twenty-one patients were followed;the duration of follow-up was 26 months (range,5-36 months).The functional results were excellent in 11 cases,good in 4,fair in 3 and poor in 2 according to Majeed scores system.Complications included 2 cases of infection,1 of lower limb deep venous thrombosis,1 of malreduction of sacroiliac joint,and 1 of malunion of pelvic fracture.No complication was found due to the aorta occlusion or the internal iliac vessel ligation.Conclusion Temporary occlusion of abdominal aorta was an efficient and quick method in the treatment of massive bleeding after pelvic fracture.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of gauze packing for haemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture.Methods Between January 2006 and January 2014,gauze packing was used to treat haemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture in 42 patients consisting of 23 males and the 19 females aged 34.2 years (range,18 to 54 years).AO classification of the fracture was type B1 in 9,B2 in 5,B3 in 3,C1 in 13,C2 in 4,and C3 in 8 patients.All the patients were diagnosed with hypovolemic shock upon admission with the systolic pressure of (75.4 ± 4.3) mmHg and heart rate of (126.5 ± 12.4) beats/ min.Injury severity score (ISS) was (38.7 ± 6.2)points.Anti-shock treatment,internal or external fixation of pelvic ring,and gauze packing were performed immediately to control the hemorrhage following pelvic fracture.Results Systolic pressure was (95.2 ± 4.6) mmHg and mean heart rate was declined to (85.4 ± 13.2)beats/min after pelvis volume control and gauze packing,with significant differences compared to these preoperatively (P ＜ 0.05).Red blood cell transfusion before internal or external fixation and gauze packing was (15.0 ± 2.4) units versus (8.3 ± 1.5) units within the first postoperative 24 hours (P ＜ 0.05).Twenty-four out of the 42 patients underwent temporary abdominal aorta occlusion.Six patients died postoperatively with the death rate of 14％.Mean time of removing the packing gauze was (51.4 ± 10.3) hours (range,24-168 hours).Conclusion Anti-shock treatment with concurrent gauze packing and pelvis volume control is effective to arrest the massive hemorrhage in hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture.
