Objective To investigate the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in critically ill children with pediatric critical score (PCIS) and pediatric death risk score (PRISM),comparing its value.Methods A total of 100 cases of matching children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to stay in our hospital during 2007.07 ～2012.07 was retrospectively analyzed.Check PICU most serious disease in this group of children,living PICU most severely ill when diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),when it was suffering from ARDS most serious line PCIS with PRISM score,and then using the Logistic multiple regression to analyze the scores of the two scoring ability as predicting the ARDS death in children with risk factors,and using two-factor analysis of variance of the two scoring methods by judging linear correlation existence.Results (1)PCIS with PRISM score showed a negative correlation (r=-0.6031,P ＜0.01),the linear regression equation y =-0.2389x +74.816 (P＜0.01).(2) There was no statistical difference between the ARDS death group and survival group (P ＞ 0.05) ; By PCIS PRISM score LOGISTIC regression analysis of the risk of death in children,there was no statistical difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions PCIS and PRISM score cannot be the standards to forecast the death of the ARDS patients,but can provide an objective referring standard of ARDS's treatment.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effects of double-plating internal fixation for the treatment of medial tibial plateau fractures with fracture-dislocation type through combined anterior and inverted "L" posteromedial knee approaches.

METHODSFrom February 2010 to September 2013, 17 patients with medial tibial plateau fractures with fracture-dislocation type were treated by double-plating internal fixation at our department. Anterior knee approach was adopted for medial mass reduction and fixation,while the inverted "L" posteromedial approach was used for posteromedial mass. There were 11 males and 6 females, with an average age of 42 years old (ranged, 21 to 65 years old). The efficacy were investigated by comparing pre- and post-operative radiographic data, and by evaluating clinical symptoms using the HSS score system.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed with a mean time of 18 months (ranged, 11 to 25 months). The tibial-plateau varus angle immediately after operation and at the latest follow-up were respectively (87.8 ± 4.2)° and (88.2 ± 4.6)°, and there was no statistical difference (P = 0.458). The posterior slope angle immediately after operation and at the latest follow-up were respectively (10.1 ± 3.7)° and (10.3 ± 4.1)°, and there was no statistical difference (P = 0.512). The knee joint HSS score was 86.7 ± 6.1. No patient had complications such as infection, skin necrosis, internal fixation loosening or loss of fracture reduction.

CONCLUSIONDoubl-plating internal fixation through combined approaches is an ideal operation method for medial tibial plateau fractures with fracture-dislocation type, because it can provide clear surgical field, satisfactory reduction, reliable fixation, and chance for early functional exercise.

Objective To explore the effect of pharmacological preconditioning wtith low-dose FK506 reducing subsequent ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbit knee joint and to explore the possible mechanism of that. Methods Twenty four animal model of allograft heterootopic knee joint were established and divided randonly into three groups: IR group ( Ischemia-reperfusion group), KK506 group ( FK506 preconditioning group) and ST group(Sham control group). Vessels were clamped for 1 hour, and then grafts received reper-fusion. Tissues(for example muscles tissues) of pro-ischemia and reperfusion after 12 hours were obtained, and they were observed by microscope and electron microscope and were at aiysised with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction( RT-PCR) , Western Blot, DNA ladder, flow cvtometer. Moreover, the contents of MDA , NO and SOD in these tissues were examined by spectrophotometer Results As a result, we observed disoranized tissues and swollen cells in IR groups but trenchant tissues and intact cells in FK506 groups by microscope, vaeuolated and tumid mitochondrion in IR groups but non-vacuolated and intact that in FK506 groups. With FK506 preconidtioning, the contents MDA and NO were distiactly reduced but significant raised in FK506 group. Compared with IR group, DNA ladder of FK506 group were weakly, and apoptotic raetes reduce from 20% to 10% and the expression of TNF, IL-1 , Fas and FasL mRNA obviously down-regulated. At the same time, expression of HSP70 significantly up-regulated on protein and mRNA levels with RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis in FK506 group. Conclusion Pharmacological preconditioning with low-dose FK506(0. 3mg/kg) can induce tolerance of ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbit allograft knee joint. Over-expression of HSP70 may he key factor of that.

Objective:To identify the function of extracellular soluble vimentin that promotes proliferation, activation and chemotaxis of inflammatory cells. Methods: The proliferation of rat splenocytes stimulated with vimentin was evaluated in vitro. The lymphocyte counts and vimentin-antibody levels of peripheral blood in mice immunized with vimentin were detected in vivo. Peritoneal macrophages were collected and cultured with different concentrations of vimentin to detect the effect on phagocytosing chicken red blood cells. The chemotaxis of NIH3T3 fibroblast towards vimentin was observed in transwell chamber. Results:In vitro vimentin dose dependently promoted the proliferation of splenocytes. The proliferation indexes of primed and naive splenocytes cultured with 16μg/ml vimentin were reached up to ( 196. 0 ± 9. 7 )% and ( 208. 9 ± 4. 6 )% respectively without significant difference. In vivo vimentin significantly enhanced the lymphocytes number(109 L-1)of peripheral blood(5. 74±0. 51 vs. 1. 69±0. 13)and the levels of vimentin specific antibody( OD value 2. 31 ± 0. 06 vs. 0. 19 ± 0. 08 ) that shown no significant difference from immunization with vimentin plus CFA. In vitro vimentin dose dependently stimulated phagocytic ability of macrophages and performed the chemotactic effects on NIH3T3 fibroblasts. Conclusion:Extracellular soluble vimentin promotes the proliferation,activation and chemotaxis of concerned inflammatory cells and possesses the functions as an alarmin.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the imaging features of osteopoikilosis and its diagnosis knowledge.

METHODSThe imaging data of 9 patients with osteopoikilosis were analyzed retrospectively, including 6 familial cases and 3 sporadic cases. In 6 familial cases,there were 4 males and 2 females with an average age of 28 years old ranging from 10 to 63 years. Clinical manifestations of 1 familial case were left knee pain and limitation of activity for 3 years, and other 5 cases without clinical manifestation. In 3 sporadic cases, there were 2 males and 1 female with an average age of 33.7 years old ranging from 25 to 44 years. Three sporadic cases had obvious injury history with following up from 6 to 12 months. All imaging results of 9 cases were observed.

RESULTSThe imaging data of 6 familial osteopoikilosis showed the multiple round or oval nodes within bone with clear margins, uniform density, different size. The occurrence of the hyperostotic spots preferentially localized in the epiphyses and metaphyses of the long bones, and carpus and tarus. X-ray features of 3 sporadic osteopoikilosis were similar to that of 6 familial cases and for 6 to 12 months follow-up X-ray features were unchanged.

CONCLUSIONThe imaging features of osteopoikilosis are relatively specific such as the multiple mottling dense focal within bone with clear border and bilateral symmetry, and the focus located on cancellous bone and the diaphyses usually is unaffected. The imaging is a valuable examination for the accurate diagnosis of osteopoikilosis.
