PThirty-seven patients suffering from internal fixation failure in treating intertrochanteric fracture were selected from Department of Orthopaedics, First People’s Hospital of Chenzhou between July 2000 and March 2008, including 20 males and 17 females aged 74 years (range 63-84 years). All were treated by total hip replacement (THR) due to cutting damage of screws to femoral head, neck and acetabulum. The THR was performed 13-23 months from the first internal fixation. All patients had no severe cardiorespiratory dysfunction, local infection or other contraindication for replacement. Preoperative Harris scores were (40.0?12.2) points. Among all patients, 18 were treated by cemented THR, and the others by un-cemented. All 37 patients were followed up for average of 6.3 months. The average operative time was (81?13.6) minutes; the average amount of bleeding in operation was (662?51.8) mL. No infection, hypostatic pneumonia, pressing sore or deep venous embolism of lower limbs was found after replacement. Hip pain, weakness, limitation of motion did not occur during the follow-up period. In addition, no loosening or breaking of prosthesis was found on X-ray films, but the osteoporosis was gradually improved. The Harris scores were (83.0?12.4) postoperatively. The outcomes were excellent in 20 cases, good in 12 cases, fair in 4 cases, and poor in 1 case, and the rate of excellent and good was 86.49%. THR is an effective method for intertrochanteric fracture after internal fixation failure.

With the rapid development of medical imaging technique, iodinated contrast media (IOCM) has become the most commonly used agent in performing imaging diagnosis and interventional therapy. The use of IOCM, especially the use of non-ionic iodine contrast media, has been swiftly increased in recent years. The accompanying untoward reactions, such as allergic reactions, cardiovascular reactions, contrast media nephropathy, thyroid toxicity, etc. prove to be the new problems that greatly perplex the medical circle. With the continuous improvement of the knowledge to the untoward reactions, more and more physicians have paid attention to contrast media induced thyroid toxicity. At present, researches concerning iodine contrast media thyroid toxicity are still few, and the relevant research is particularly rare in China. This paper aims to make a review about the influence of different kinds of iodine contrast media on thyroid function.

PurposeTo investigate the correlation between iodine concentration and clinical severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) through the quantitative evaluation with dual-energy spectral computed tomography (DESCT), so as to find out an effective imaging technology in the evaluation of clinical severity of AP.Materials and Methods Sixty patients with AP confirmed clinically (AP group) and 30 patients with normal pancreas (control group) were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients underwent enhanced CT scan in the spectral imaging mode. Iodine concentration and normalized iodine concentration (NIC) were respectively measured during arterial phase and portal phase in the material-decomposition images by using a spectral imaging viewer (GSI Viewer). Results Iodine concentration and NIC were significantly higher in the control group than in the AP group (P<0.05,P<0.001). In the AP group, according to Ranson grading, 24 patients were in the mild grade, 20 patients were moderate, and 16 patients were severe. Iodine concentration and NIC decreased along with the increase of their Ranson grade. There were significant difference in iodine concentration and NIC among the three subgroups (iodine concentration on arterial phase:F=8.776,P<0.01; iodine concentration on portal phase:F=4.019,P<0.05; NIC on arterial phase:F=12.700,P<0.001; NIC on portal phase:F=8.732,P<0.01). Iodine concentration and NIC on arterial and portal phases in the mild grade group were both significantly higher than those in the moderate grade group (P<0.05); however, iodine concentration on arterial and portal phases, and NIC on arterial phase in the severe grade group were significantly lower than those in the moderate grade group (P<0.05).Conclusion DESCT can analyze hemodynamic changes in AP quantitatively, which is of great value in evaluating changes in AP of each grade.

The Waters sunfire C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 µm) was used and the detection wavelength was 330 nm . The column temperature was 30 °C. The mobile phases were acetonitrile (A) and 0.1% formic acid (B) eluting in a gradient program at a flow rate of 1.0 mL · min(-1). The chromatographic fingerprint similarity evaluation system for tradition Chinese medicine(2012) was used for analysis. C. nudiflora from different samples were of high similarity in fingerprint and the separation of ten components was good. There was an obvious difference between other samples and C. nudiflora leaves. In quantitative analysis, the ten components showed good regression(R2 > 0 999 0) with linear ranges, and their recoveries were in the range of 96.0%-105.0%. The established qualitative and quantitative methods are highly specific, simple and accurate, which can be used for the identification and quality control of C. nudiflora.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference of therapeutic effect between acupuncture combined with Tuina and Nobex for treatment of birth brachial plexus injury.
METHODSForty cases with birth brachial plexus injury were randomly divided into a acupuncture combined with Tuina group (group A) and a Nobex group (group B), 20 cases in each group. The group A was treated with acupuncture at 3 points, i. e. Jianyu (LI 15), Jianliao (TE 14), Jianzhen (SI 9) on shoulder, Binao (LI 14), Shouwuli (LI 13), Quchi (LI 11), etc. combined with Tuina using a single thumb and rolling method, and the group B was treated with intramuscular injection of Nobex. The clinical effects and the changes of the symptom, scores and the electromyogram were observed before and after treatment.
RESULTSThe total effective rate of 90.0% (18/20) in the group A was better than that of 55.0% (11/20) in the group B, with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). The effective rate of the electromyogram improvement in the group A was 90.0% (18/20), which was better than 45.0% (9/20) in the group B (P < 0. 05), and the symptom scores in the group A were lower than those in the group B (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture combined with Tuina can improve the recovery of nerve and upper extremity function and its therapeutic effect is superior to that of intramuscular injection with Nobex.

AIM: To observe the effects of oxygen free radical (OFR) and captopril on the level of asymmetric NG, NG-dimethyl-L-arginine (ADMA) in human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs).METHODS: HUVECs of 3-6 th passage, cultured with modified Jaffes' method, were used in the experiment and divided into three groups: (1)Cells cultured with equivalence of DMEM medium as control; (2)OFR intervention groups, OFR at concentrations of 0 01 mmol/L, or 0 1 mmol/L, respectively, were added to the cell culture; (3)Drug intervention groups: the cell culture was treated with 0 1 mmol/L of OFR combined with 50 mg/L or 100 mg/L of captopril, respectively. Concentrations of ADMA, L-arginine, nitric oxide(NO), endothelin(ET) and the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme(ACE) in conditioned medium were measured after 24 h exposure. RESULTS: Concentrations of ADMA, ET and the activity of ACE were increased, while the amount of NO decreased in OFR intervention groups compared with control group. After treatment with captopril, ADMA, ET concentrations and the activity of ACE were decreased, while the amount of NO increased, but the level of L-arginine had no obvious change. CONCLUSIONS: OFR induces endothelial dysfunction through increasing ADMA concentration, while captopril relieves endothelial dysfunction induced by ox-LDL through decreasing ADMA concentration.
