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.

The metabolism study of radiolabeled drugs plays an important role in the development of new drugs. It provides information on drug absorption, metabolism, tissue distribution and excretion, and plays an irreplaceable role in the metabolite safety evaluation and mass balance of new drugs. The new guidance draft on clinical trials of radiolabeled drugs recently released by the US FDA puts forward higher standards and has been widely concerned by the industry. In recent years, in the research and development of new drugs in China, ¹⁴C labeled drugs have been used to carry out clinical metabolism studies, which has overcome key technical bottlenecks and accumulated experience. This paper summarizes the above research progress, analyzes the existing problems, and preliminarily looks forward to the future technological development and application.

OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic effect of Fu'an Liquid (FAL) for retention enema in treating gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction of children with critical illness.

METHODSEighty-nine patients were randomly divided into two groups, 52 in the treated group and 37 in the control group. Conventional therapy of western medicine was given to both groups and to the treated group FAL was given additionally. Plasma endothelin (ET) level was measured during admission, GI dysfunction occurrence and after treatment, and the therapeutic effect as well as the recovery of GI condition were observed.

RESULTSThe total effective rate of FAL in treating GI dysfunction was 84.62%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (62.17%) (P < 0.05). In the treated group, 34 cases were treated successfully, 16 died and the other 2 abandoned, the mortality rate being 30.77%, while in the control group, the corresponding numbers were 16, 18, 3 and 48.65%. The mortality rate in the treated group was lower than that in the control group (chi 2 = 4.64, P < 0.05). Level of ET in both groups was higher than normal range during admission (P < 0.01), it further increased when GI dysfunction occurred (P < 0.01), and decreased when successfully treated, the decrease was quicker in the treated group than that in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIn children with critical illness, ET level would increase when the patient was complicated with GI dysfunction. FAL for retention enema could reduce the ET level effectively, promote the recovery of patients from GI dysfunction, so as to play a definite role in enhancing the successful rate of rescue.

ObjectiveTo analyze the surveillance results at the national surveillance spots of brucellosis from 2006 to 2010,to know the epidemic status of national brucellosis,and to provide scientific evidences for evaluating of surveillance quality and formulating of surveillance strategies and measures.Methods The brucellosis surveillance data collected from the Surveillance Reports of Major Infectious Diseases and Vector-Biological Monitoring Report in China from 2006 to 2010,and the National Diseases Surveillance Information Management System were classified and analyzed using two stage clustering statistical analysis.Results According to national routine surveillance,the incidence of brucellosis increased from 1.55 per 100 000 in 2006 to 2.62 per 100 000 in 2010.Reported brucellosis cases were mainly in Inner Mongolia,Shanxi,Heilongjiang and other regions,and reported time was from March to August,which accounting for 79.87％(114 265/143 064).The brucellosis cases were mainly youth,male,farmers and herdsman.In the national surveillance spots of the brucellosis,217 648 cases received epidemic survey,of which 61 905 cases received serological test,the positive rate was 19.66％(12 169/61 905),and 10 318 new cases were found; the highest positive rate of serological test was 41.19％(2757/6694) which was found in Zhalantun of Inner Mongolia; the detection rate of pathogen culture was 2.49％(29/1165); the positive rates of serological test in cattle and sheep were 1.07％(2355/219 352) and 0.93％ (2766/296 176),respectively.The surveillance spots were classified into four grades according to cluster analysis.Conclusions The epidemic continues to rise in human surveillance spots of brucellosis.Although national surveillance spots play an important role in the surveillance of brucellosis,the quality and quantity of surveillance work of national brucellosis surveillance spots should be improved,different management measures should be taken in different surveillance spots according to classified results of the cluster analysis.This study provides some basis to improve the utilization of health resources and the level of Brucella disease prevention and control work.

AIMTo find the cause of abnormal NMR spectra of lomerizine dihydrochloride, cetirizine dihydrochloride and flenfluramine camphoramide.

METHODSHypothesizing, in given conditions, there are changes of stereoisomeric conformation and configuration in structure of N-containing compounds, it results in abnormality of NMR spectra. By using the method of NMR, it is confirmed credibily.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONThe moving balance exists between two chair conformations in lomerizine dihydrochloride and cetirizine dihydrochloride. It causes that spin-nuclei of whole molecule are placed in two chemical circumstance. In solution of DMSO-d6, the speed of conformation reversal equals to the NMR time scale, so that chemical shift of spin-nuclei can not be definitely determined, peaks are broadened and even collapsed. After dropping D2O or increasing the temperature, the viscosity of the solution is decreased, the speed of reversal is quicker than NMR time scale, then normal spectra are obtained. Owing to the reversal of the three bonds of nitrogen in flenfluramine camphoramide is limited, other pair of diastereoisomer resulted from the asymmetric nitrogen can be detected by NMR. Multiplication of the peaks of 13CNMR is reasonably explained.
