Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2015;24(8):726-729
Objective To investigate the association of polymorphisms in dopamine D3 receptor (DRD3) gene exon 1 Ser9Gly with childhood tourette syndrome and efficacy of aripiprazole in Chinese Han population.Methods Polymorphisms of Ser9Gly in DRD3 gene was genotyped by using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 158 tourette syndrome patients (study group) and 187 healthy controls (control group).Patients in study group were assessed with Yale global tic severity scale(YGTSS) at baseline and at the end of the 8th week of treatment to evaluate the efficacy of aripiprazole.Results (1) There were no significant differences in genotypic frequency and allelic frequency of Ser9Gly in DRD3 gene between study group and control group (P>0.05).(2) Significant difference was found in frequency of Ser9Gly in DRD3 gene between effective and ineffective groups (genotype:Ser/Ser 40 vs 17;Ser/Gly 52 vs 28;Gly/Gly 7 vs 14;alle:Ser 132 vs 62;Gly 66 vs 56)(P<0.05).(3) There were no significant differences in distribution of genotypes and alleles of Ser9Gly among three-type of tourette syndrome (P>0.05).Conclusion The polymorphisms of Ser9Gly in DRD3 gene are associated with the efficacy of aripiprazole.

BACKGROUND:Clinical treatment of epicondyle fractures and intercondylar comminuted fractures is quite tricky due to instability and spread to the articular surface. Common complications contained bone delayed union, nonunion, broken nails and broken boards. Internal fixation for fractures is various, but reasonable choice for clinical fixation plays a decisive role for repair of fractures.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the repair effects of various fixation methods on femoral condyle fracture from different aspects such as fracture type, bone healing, functional recovery and biomechanics.
METHODS:First author searched PubMed database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for articles about various fixation methods in repair of femoral condyle fracture published from January 2000 to April 2014. Key words were“femoral condyle fracture, internal fixation, biomechanics, load-displacement, axial stiffness, horizontal shear stiffness”. Total y 142 articles were retrieved, but 39 articles met the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Femoral condyle fracture caused the damage to normal anatomic structure of knee join, changed normal anatomical axis and the mechanical axis of knee joint. Therefore, anatomic reduction and rigid internal fixation are necessary. During treatment, the advantages and disadvantages of various fixation methods should be known. It is necessary to ful y evaluate the type of intercondylar fractures of the femoral condyle and soft tissue injury. According to biological characteristics of the human body and mechanical property, internal fixation device should be reasonably used. Individual treatment programs should be provided. Thus, the occurrence of postoperative complications should be reduced utmostly, resulting in a satisfactory repair outcome.

The term complication is defined as a secondary disease, an accident, or a negative reaction occurring during the course of an illness and usually aggravating the illness. It usually takes two forms: a secondary illness of a disease; or a complication resulting from medical treatments.Characteristic of being risky, predictable, uncertain, and relatively avoidable, complications are affected by a variety of factors. In the course of identifying medical malpractice, identification of complications should be achieved according to how complications occur and evolve in the entire course of treatment and care, whether staffs have followed standards and regulations for treatment and care, whether staff are well aware of their obligations to take precautions to avoid risks, and provide medical care once complications take place, whether malpractice exists in the practice of medical staff, whether a cause -effect relationship exists between complications in patients and harms caused to families and medical malpractice.

Objective To study and evaluate the effects of Kanglaite Injection (KLT) in rat model of cancer pain. Methods According to Medhurst' method, a rat model of cancer-induced bone pain wasestablished by intra-tibial injection of 3?103 MRMT-1 rat mammary gland carcinomal cells in Sprague-Dawley rats. KLT group were treated with 10 mL/kg of KLT, ip, twice daily from day 8 to day 17 after injection of MRMT-1 cells. In celecoxib group, 30 mg/kg, ig, twice daily for 10 days. NS group and sham group were given with 10 mL/kg of NS, ip, twice daily for 10 days. On day 17, rats in morphine group received a single administration of 3 mg/kg morphine. Pain-related behaviors including allodynia (the hind paw withdrawal response to 2 g von Frey filament stimulation) and the difference of weight bearing between hind paws were measured in all 5 groups on day 17. In addition, the left hind limbs were removed and X-rays were obtained for assessing of tumor-induced bone destruction. Results On day 17 after injection of MRMT-1 cells or NS, the paw withdrawal response frequency to 2 g von Frey filament stimulation on the left paw in KLT group, celecoxib group, morphine group and NS group were 53.3%?20.7%, 46.7%?20.7%, 13.3%?16.3% and 90% ?16.7%, respectively. The paw withdrawal response frequency in KLT group was significantly decreased compared with that in NS group (P

The low survival rate of stem cells in the ischemic myocardium microenvironment is the bottle neck in treating ischemic diseases with stem cell transplantation.It is able to increase anti-apoptotic ability of the stem cells and promote their effective differentiation towards myocardial cells directly and indirectly by pretreating the stem cells with cytokines,drugs or chemical compounds,or modifying gene expression to promote cell adhesion,survival or angiogenesis for repairing ischemic myocardium and improving heart function after transplantation of the stem cells.

Objective To explore the effect of wrist extensor energy on humeral epicondylitis. Methods 48 humeral epicondylitis patients were divided into muscular energy group and block therapy group with 24 cases in each group. The muscular energy group was treated with muscle energy technique, and the other group received block therapy. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and muscle strength. They were followed up 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after discharge. Results The score of VAS was lower in the block therapy group than in the muscular energy group (P<0.01), and the muscle strength was weaker (P<0.01). 3 months after discharge, there was no significant difference in the effects between the muscular energy group (83.3%) and the block therapy group (91.7%) (P>0.05); 6 months after discharge, the muscular energy group (75.0%) was better than the block therapy group (46.1%) (P<0.01); 1 year after discharge,the muscular energy group (54.2%) was better than the block therapy group (16.7%) (P<0.01). Conclusion The block therapy is better in short-term effect on humeral epicondylitis, and the muscle energy technique was better in long-term effect.

Objective To investigate the effect of sodium citrate on the efficacy of oral midazolam premedication in children with congenital heart disease. Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ children, aged 2-6 yr, weighing 12-20 kg, undergoing cardiac surgery, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 20 each): control group (gronp C) and sodium citrate group (group S). Group S received oral mixture of midazolam 0.12 ml/kg (0.6 my/kg), ketamine 0.12 ml/kg (6 my/kg), glucose 0.12 ml/kg (60 mg/kg) and sodium citrate 0.12 ml/kg (3 mg/kg), total volume 0.48 ml/kg. Group C received oral mixture of midazolam 0.12 ml/kg, ketamine 0.12 ml/kg and glucose 0.24 ml/kg, total volume 0.48 ml/kg. Hydrochloric acid (pH value 1.75) was mixed with the mixtures in the two groups and pH values were measured. Preoperative anxiety scale and the onset time,sedation score and parental separation score after receiving oral drugs were recorded in preparation room for anesthesia. After entering the operating room, HR, MAP and SpO2 were monitored, and the response to venepuncture in children and the adverse effects associated with oral drugs were also observed and recorded. Results The pH value was 1.97 in group C and 4.52 in group S. The parental separation score, sedation score and response score were significantly lower and the onset time was significantly shorter in group S than in group C. HR, MAP and SpO2 were in the normal range after entering the operating room. There was no obvious adverse effect after administration of oral drugs in the two groups. Conclusion Application of sodium citrate in the oral premedication in children with congenital heart disease can raise the pH value, shorten the onset time of midazolam, and enhance the sedative efficacy.
