Objective To evaluate the result of manipulative reduction and percutaneous cannulated screws fixation for the triplane fracture of the distal tibia in children. Methods From September 2004 to March 2009, 15 cases of triplane fracture of the distal tibia were treated with manipulative reduction and percutaneous cannulated screws fixation. This study included 9 boys with an average age of 13.2 years (range, 12-14 years) and 6 girls with an average age of 12.4 years (range, 11-14 years). Preoperative diagnoses were confirmed by the X-ray films or CT examination. If plain radiographs showed the fracture gap of epiphysis board and articular surface were greater than 2 mm after closed reduction, the operation was needed. Under "C"-arm X-ray machine, anatomical reduction was achieved by manipulative reduction according to the bone fracture type. The fractures were fixed by percutaneous cannulated screw. Postoperative CT scanning confirmed anatomical reduction. All patients had been immobilized with cast for 8 weeks. The ankle joint function and growth were evaluated by modified Weber protocol. Results All patients were followed up for 15 to 68 months with an average of 26 months. There were excellent in 13 cases, good in 2 cases. X-ray films showed all fractures were healed. There were not bone bridge and uneven articular surface, or rotating and shortening deformity. All patients could participate in the normal physical activities. The 2 cases with good outcome were related to weight-bearing too early. The main problem was that pain occurred in ankle joint with excess activity. Conclusion The method of manipulative reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation is relatively reliable treatment for closed triplane fractures of the distal tibia.

Objective　To investigate the change of epithelium growth factor(EGF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), superoxide dismutese(SOD) and hemorrheology (HL) in patients with diabetic retinopathy.Methods　EGF、TNF、SOD levels and HL changes have been measured in 30 NIDDM patients with retinopathy (DR group), 29 NIDDM patients without retinopathy (NDR group), and 29 patients with senile cataract and without diabetes as control (C group). Results　The mean levels of EGF、TNF and blood viscosity were significantly higher in both DR and NDR group than those in C group; the mean levels of SOD was significantly lower in both DR and NDR group than that in C group. The EGF、TNF and blood viscosity was significantly higher in proliferative type DR than in background DR; The SOD was significantly lower in proliferative type DR than in background DR.Conclusion　The development of diabetic retinopathy is related to the increase of EGF、TNF、blood viscosity and decrease of serum SOD.

OBJECTIVE:To provide ideas for revise and improve the standard and related method of the quality control of ben-zalkonium chloride in Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition,Ⅱ). METHODS:The standards and related methods of the quality control of benzalkonium chloride in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2015 edition,Ⅱ),British Pharmacopoeia(2013 edition),European Pharmacopoeia (7.0 edition) and United States Pharmacopoeia (36 edition) were comprehensively compared.

Objective To evaluate the effect of greater trochanteric transfer for the treatment of coxa brevis in children and adolescents.Methods From August 2005 to January 2011,twenty patients (22 hips)with coxa brevis underwent greater trochanteric transfer.Among them 18 patients (20 hips) were available for evaluation,including 4 boys and 14 girls,with an average age of 11.4 years (range,7.5-15.0 years) at operation.Five cases (6 hips) were caused by Perthes disease,and 13 cases (14 hips) were caused by developmental dysplasia of hip.Four patients (4 hips) had undergone greater trochanteric epiphyseodesis ever before.All patients were fixed with tension screw after the deformity was corrected during the operation.After operation,the human plaster spica was used for 6 weeks in all patients.Results All patients were followed up for 14 to 79 months (average,31 months).At the last follow-up,fatigue or pain in the hips disappeared or improved in 13 patients.Sixteen patients had limping and positive Trendelenburg sign preoperatively,at the last follow-up 9 patients got improvement.Twelve patients (13 hips) had limitation of abduction of the hip,the average range of abduction was 25.38°±1.20°,which was improved to 45.38°±1.05° at the last follow-up.The average articulotrochanteric distance and ratio of the distance from the greater trochanter tip to femoral head center and the radius of the femoral head at the last follow-up was (17.47+3.14)mm and 2.10±0.21,respectively,there were statistical differences compared with those before operation [(-2.89±4.62) mm and 1.59±0.22,respectiovely].The average leg-length discrepancy at the last follow-up was (0.78t±0.26) cm,which had on statistical differences compared with that [(0.83 ±0.33) cm]before operation.Conclusion Greater trochanteric transfer for the treatment of coxa brevis in children and adolescents could improve the clinical symptom,recover the normal anatomy of the proximal femoral,restore the hip biomechanics environment,but could uot improve the leg-length discrepancy.

Objective To retrospectively analysis the clinical effect of temporary hemiepiphysiodesis for treatment of genu varus and valgus with pathologic physis in children.Methods All of 31 children (52 knees) were included in the study from January 2008 to December 2014,20 boys and 11 girls,the age at the time of surgery from 2 year 4 month to 13 year 4 month,mean 6 year 5 month.12 varus and 19 valgus,10 unilateral and 21 bilateral,41 femurs and 44 tibias.The Mechanichal Axis Deviation (MAD) was evaluated and the mechanical lateral distal femur angle (mLDFA) and medial proximal tibia angle (mMPTA) pre-operation and post-surgery was measured.Judging the efficacy with zone system for assessing mechanical axis based on Stevens,we think the results was satisfactory if the mechanical axis falls in zone ± 1 when removed the eightplate and other was unsatisfactory.We made statistical analysis of children who were corrected satisfactory and observed the change of the width and appearance of the physis.We also made the univariate analysis and Logistical multivariate regression analysis about sex,unilateral or bilateral,surgery age,femur or tibia,varus or valgus and severity of deformity to judge the influencing factors between satisfactory and unsatisfactory.We recorded the knee function and deformity recurrence at last follow up.Results The follow-up period was 2 year 6 month to 9 year 5 month,mean 4 year 1 month,44 knees (84.6％) were corrected satisfactory.The mean value of MAD at pre-surgery and at the time when the plate was removed were (-33.3t7.2) mm and (2.1 ±4.3) mm,mean mLDFA were 102.9°±4.9° and 85.3°±3.8°,mean mMPTA were 81.2°±3.4° and 90.5° ±4.4° in genu varus (21 knees);The meam value of MAD at pre-surgery and at the time when the plate was removed were 29.3±6.8 mm and-4.1±6.5 mm,and the mean mLDFA were 79.5o±5.7° and 88.1°±3.5°,mean mMPTA was 97.0°±4.3° and 87.1°±5.2° in genu valgus (23 knees),which were significant difference.There were 28 knees with physis width asymmetry in the 44 knees pre-operation and improved obviously after-surgery and the appearance became normally.8 knees corrected unsatisfactory included 2 varus and 6 valgus.The severity of deformity was a risk factor that affects efficacy with univariate analysis(t=5.124,P=0.000).Regarding the range of the age,we also did the logistic multivariate regression analysis with results showing that surgery age (OR=1.032) and se verity of deformity (OR=1.335) were related to the outcome.There were 8 knees in the 44 knees which had deformity recurrence and the rate was 19.5％ (8/41,3 knees excluded due to doing the limb lengthening surgery when removing the plate) at last follow up,and the knees function were normal.Conclusion Temporary hemiepiphysiodesis is a minimally invasive and effective method for treatment of genu varus or valgus with pathologic physis in children and could improve the appearance of the physis.The age at surgery and severity of deformity are the risk factors that affect efficacy.The pathological changes persisted could cause complication and deformity recurrence which need follow-up after removal of the plate.

Objective To investigate the prevalence rate of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in Xiangya Hospital,and provide reference for preventing and controlling HAI.Methods The cross sectional surveys on preva-lence rates of HAI,cross-sectional antimicrobial use,and bacterial detection among all hospitalized patients on the given days in 2000-2014 (except 2006)were carried out by combination of bedside investigation and medical record reviewing.Results The prevalence rates of HAI in 2000-2014 decreased from 6.30% to 3.91%,difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 35.14,P < 0.001 );prevalence rates of community-associated infection(CAI)were 15.61%-15.76%,there was no significant difference among each year.General intensive care unit (ICU)had the highest prevalence rate;respiratory tract was the most common site of both HAI and CAI;urinary catheterization rate showed a decreased tendency,arteriovenous catheterization rate showed a increased tendency,difference were both significant(χ2 = 5.21,96.24,respectively,both P <0.001).In 2008 - 2014,pathogenic detection rates for specimens from patients receiving therapeutic antimicrobial agents were 36.37%-44.51%,from patients with HAI were 34.00%-44.99%,detection rate of pathogens causing HAI were 41.57%-68.48%,all showed a increased tendency,difference was significant (χ2 = 22.78,10.03,26.49,respectively,all P < 0.001 ).Gram-negative bacteria were the main pathogens causing infection;both cross sectional and combination antimicrobial usage rates declined (P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Prevention and control of HAI,and antimicrobial management has achieved preliminary success,prevalence rate of HAI and cross sectional antimicrobial usage rate declined obviously,the main pathogen is gram-negative bacteria,and the major infection site is lower respiratory tract.

Objective To evaluate the role of endogenous heme oxygenase-1/carbon monoxide ( HO-1/CO) signaling pathway in endoplasmic reticulum stress during endotoxin-induced acute lung injury ( ALI) in rats. Methods Forty healthy clean-grade male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, weighing 190-210 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), ALI group, ALI plus ZnPP-IX group (group AZ), and ALI plus vehicle sodium bicarbonate group ( group AV) . ALI was induced by intravenously injecting lipopolysaccharide 5 mg/kg in anesthetized rats. At 30 min before establishing the model, ZnPP-IX 10μmol/kg (diluted to 1 ml in 50 mmol/L sodium bicarbonate) was intraperitoneally injected in group AZ, and 50 mmol/L sodium bicarbonate 1 ml was intra-peritoneally injected in group AV. After injecting lipopolysaccharide for 6 h, blood samples were collected from the common carotid artery for determination of plasma CO concentration, the rats were then sacrificed, and lungs were removed for microscopic examination of the pathological changes which were scored and for determination of CO level, wet to dry weight ratio ( W/D ratio) , cell apoptosis ( by TUNEL) , and expres-sion of heme oxygenase-1 ( HO-1) , glucose-regulated protein 78 ( GRP78) , phosphorylated protein kinase R-like endoplasmie reticulum kinase (p-PERK), phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha ( p-elF2 ) , CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein ( CHOP ) and caspase-12 in lung tissues ( by Western blot) . Apoptosis index ( AI) was calculated. Results Compared with group C, the lung injury scores, W/D ratio, AI and CO levels in plasma and lung tissues were significantly increased, and the expression of HO-1, GRP78, p-PERK, p-elF2, CHOP and caspase-12 was up-regulated in the other three groups ( P＜0. 05) . Compared with group ALI, lung injury scores, W/D ratio and AI were sig-nificantly increased, CO levels in plasma and lung tissues were decreased, the expression of HO-1 was down-regulated, and the expression of GRP78, p-PERK, p-elF2, CHOP and caspase-12 was up-regula-ted in group AZ (P＜0. 05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group AV ( P＞0. 05) . Conclusion HO-1/CO signaling pathway produces endogenous protection possibly through inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress during endotoxin-induced ALI in rats.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of respiratory pathogens and risk factors of death in patients with pulmonary infection in neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU).Methods:A total of 87 patients with pulmonary infection in the NICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to December 2019 were collected, and the pathogens of their respiratory tract were analyzed to understand the types and distribution of bacteria in the lung infection. Univariate statistical analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the patient′s clinical outcome with age, diabetes, hypertension, renal insufficiency, hypoproteinemia, anemia, chronic respiratory disease, surgery, tracheotomy, and bacterial multi-resistance. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of death in NICU patients with pulmonary infection.Results:A total of 112 pathogenic bacteria were isolated in this research group, including 83 Gram-negative bacteria (74.11%), 22 Gram-positive bacteria (19.64%), and 7 Fungi (5.25%). Imipenem was highly sensitive to Gram-negative bacteria, vancomycin was highly sensitive to Gram-positive bacteria, and other drugs were highly resistant. 41 patients died (47.13%). Age≥60 ( OR=3.501, 95% CI: 1.152-10.638), renal insufficiency ( OR=3.872, 95% CI: 1.336-11.224), tracheotomy ( OR=0.317, 95% CI: 0.114-0.882), bacteria multi-drug resistance ( OR=3.480, 95% CI: 1.162-10.422) were independent risk factors for death in NICU patients with pulmonary infection. Conclusions:Patients with severe neurological diseases are in critical condition, and there are many patients with pulmonary infection, with poor prognosis and high mortality. Gram-negative bacteria are the most common respiratory pathogens. Carbapenems account for the highest proportion of antibiotics in clinic. Advanced age, renal insufficiency and bacterial multidrug resistance increase the mortality of patients, while early tracheotomy can reduce the mortality of patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) insertion reconstruction combined with pulley repair for pulley system injuries.Methods:A total of 46 patients (combined treatment group) with pulley system injury treated with LHBT insertion reconstruction combined with pulley repair in the Sports Medicine Department, Affiliated Xinhua Hospital of Dalian University from January to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 16 males and 30 females, aged 51.3±5.7 years (range, 45-72 years). 46 patients who underwent simple LHBT insertion reconstruction during the same period were selected as the control group (simple reconstruction group), including 14 males and 32 females, aged 50.6±6.7 years (range, 46-70 years). Visual analogue scale (VAS), Constant-Murley score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES) score and long head of biceps tendon (LHB) score were compared preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively.Results:All patients were followed up for 26.2±1.5 months (range, 24-27 months). The VAS scores of the combined treatment group at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively were 3.4±1.3, 2.0±1.1, and 1.7±0.5, respectively, which were significantly lower than those of the simple reconstruction group 5.8±1.3, 3.5±1.1, and 2.6±0.5 ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the two groups at 12 and 24 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). The Constant-Murley scores of the combined treatment group at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively were 31.3±4.7, 72.8±4.6, and 89.1±5.4, respectively, which were statistically greater than those of the simple reconstruction group (21.5±6.8, 52.8±5.2, and 80.1±6.2), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 12 and 24 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). The ASES scores of the combined treatment group at 1 and 3 months postoperatively were 56.2±6.9 and 82.7±8.2, which were statistically greater than those in the simple reconstruction group (40.2±5.6 and 62.9±8.0), while there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). The LHB scores of the combined treatment group at 6 and 12 months postoperatively were 70.1±5.4 and 86.1±4.6, which were statistically greater than those of the simple reconstruction group (60.2±4.2 and 70.2±5.8), with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 24 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Arthroscopic LHBT insertion reconstruction combined with pulley system repair can relieve early postoperative shoulder pain and improve early function. It is an effective method for the treatment of pulley system injury.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy and safety analysis of a novel laser localization technology assisted percutaneous puncture of trigeminal nerve microsphere capsule compression surgery for the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia.Methods:A retrospective selection was conducted on 63 patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia who underwent percutaneous puncture of the trigeminal nerve microsphere capsule compression surgery at the First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to December 2021. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into a new laser localization assisted puncture group (observation group) of 32 cases and a traditional barehanded localization puncture group (control group) of 31 cases. An analysis was conducted on the surgical time, puncture time, puncture frequency, intraoperative exposure to radiation, number of cases of poor balloon formation, and clinical efficacy within 6 months after surgery for two groups of patients. The prognosis of the patients was followed up at 6 months after surgery.Results:The surgical time, puncture time, puncture frequency, and intraoperative exposure of the observation group were all less than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in the number of cases of poor balloon angioplasty between the observation group and the control group, as well as the pain score grading of the Barlow Neurological Institute (BNI) on the first day after surgery. Within 6 months after surgery, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of facial numbness, diplopia, masseter weakness, perilabial herpes, and recurrent pain between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Laser positioning technology can assist in precise puncture of the foramen ovale and accurate placement of balloons based on surgical experience, which helps to improve surgical safety, reduce postoperative complications and intraoperative radiation dose, and achieve satisfactory short-term follow-up results.
