BACKGROUND:With the increased number of patients with total hip arthroplasty, blood source became less gradual y. Simultaneously, the risk of a variety of serious diseases infected by blood transfusion troubled the patients. Thus, it is very important to find a method that can reduce blood transfusion and did not increase risk. There are reports addressing the application of tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding during total knee, total hip arthroplasty and spinal surgery.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of injection with tranexamic acid through articular cavity and discontinuous clip pipe on blood loss, functional recovery and complication after total hip arthroplasty.
METHODA total of 99 patients, who received total hip arthroplasty because of femoral fracture or coxarthropathy from January 2011 to February 2014, were selected in this study. They were divided into tranexamic acid group (n=55) and control group (n=44). After skin suture, patients in the tranexamic acid group were injected with 2.0 g tranexamic acid dissolved in 20 mL physiological saline through articular cavity. After replacement, the drainage was opened after 2 hours of interval. From then on, the drainage was opened for 10 minutes every 4 hours. Patients in the control group received discontinuous clip pipe. Negative pressure drainage tube was pul ed out at 48 hours after replacement. Blood loss, the number of blood transfusion, blood transfusion volume, 24-hour postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit, preoperative, 3-hour postoperative fibrinogen, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time, 6-month postoperative hip Harris score and lower extremity deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Significant differences in blood loss, the number of blood transfusion, blood transfusion volume, 24-hour postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit were visible after replacement in patients of both groups (P<0.05). Blood loss, the number of blood transfusion, blood transfusion volume, 24-hour postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit were better in the tranexamic acid group than in the control group. No significant difference in preoperative, 3-hour postoperative fibrinogen, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time was detectable between the two groups (P>0.05). No significant difference in 6-month postoperative hip Harris score was found between the two groups (P>0.05). No lower extremity deep vein thrombosis was observed using Doppler ultrasonography at 3, 10 and 14 days after replacement in 99 patients. Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism was not detected at 6 months after replacement. Above data indicated that injection with tranexamic acid through articular cavity and discontinuous clip pipe after total hip arthroplasty could obviously decrease postoperative blood loss and blood transfusion, and did not increase the risk of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.

AlM: To understand the prognostic factors of myopic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment ( RRD) surgery, and provide guidance for clinical treatment.
METHODS: This retrospective study included 288 myopic RRD eyes ( excluding trauma, aphakia, congenital diseases, tractional and exudative retinal detachment ) from April 2007 to April 2014 in our department. The surgical anatomic reduction situation was statistically recorded, the effects of hole's size, retinal detachment duration on sight restoration and surgery success rate were analyzed
RESULTS:The statistical results showed that 245 eyes (85. 1%) healed after their first operation, about 95. 1%cases finally healed after their second or third operation. The degree of myopia and aging factor influenced the RRD operation:the higher degree and the older age were, the lower success rates were (P<0. 05). Through surgery, postoperative visual acuity was significantly better than the preoperative ones ( P<0. 01 ). A higher degree of myopia RRD led to poor visual acuity ( P < 0. 01 ). Postoperative visual acuity of 152 eyes ( 52. 9%) were improved, of which 106 eyes' visual acuity was 0. 05 or more.
CONCLUSlON:Surgery is an effective means of treating myopic RRD. The older patients have lower success rates. A higher degree of myopia led lower reset rate after retinal detachment surgery and poor postoperative visual acuity. When treat myopic RRD, we should pay attention to the recovery of visual function.

Objective To investigate the current status analysis the risk factors of medical adhesive related skin injury(MARSI) in neonates in NICU, in order to provide guidance in prevention and nursing of the skin injury. Methods Convenience sampling five NICU in Shenyang, prospective investigate the incidence of MARSI of neonates during the NICU stay, and analysis the incidence , injury type distribution and risk factors. Results The incidence of MARSI in neonates in NICU was 12.8%(53/413);the major injury type of MARSI was epidermal stripping(47.2%,25/53)and skin tear(35.8%,19/53) in mechanical injury;Logistic analysis showed that the independent risk factors of MARSI were the use of stomach tube, dehydrate skin and blue light therapy (χ2=5.953, 9.806 and 7.568, P<0.05). Conclusions MARSI is frequency interrupted in neonates during the NICU stay, correct selection of medical adhesive products, application of suitable paste and remove skills are helpful to reduce the incidence of MARSI in neonates during the NICU stay.

To prepare monoclonal antibodies for blocking acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC)viruses,BALB/C mice were immunized with Hela cells.The spleen of immunemouse was re-moved,and spleen cells were fused with SP2/0 cells.The antibodies against cell receptors wereselected by cell protection assay.Four cell strains secreted McAbs designated R7.R8.R16 andR24 were screened to be able to block cellular receptors and inhibit the infection of Ev70 as wellas CA24v on Hela cell.These results demonstrate that the receptors for Ev70 and CA24v are si-miliar.Indirect immunofluorescence test with the four McAbs showed definite fluorescence onliving Hela cells,which the intensity was concordance with the mean intensity resulted fromflowcytometer.Positive reaction on fixed Hela cells were only observed with R7 and R8.

Objective To establish the diagnosis criterion and management protocol for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH).Methods The data of 75 patients with NASH including 10 chronic hepatitis,10 simple fatty,15 alcoholic liver disease,10 healthy conerol and 40 tpye 2 diabetic patient without viral hepatitis were investigated.Results Among 75 NASH patients,the mean age was 36.8 years,and male were 66(88%);their body mass index(BMI)≥25 were 58 (77.3%).Serum ALT and insulin concentration were elevated in all patients with NASH;60 cases were with hypertriceridemia (80%),30 with normal oral glucose tolerate test (OGTT) (40%),fatty liver was detected in 67 patients (90%)by ultrasonography.The BMI were different between NASH and healthy controls,P

Objective To study the impact of sodium arsenite(NaAsO2) exposure on melanoma cells A375 (hereinafter referred to as the A375) and G361 (hereinafter referred to as the G361) pigment production and tyrosinase (TYR) activity and the differences of pigment metabolism capacity between the cell lines.Methods A375 and G361 cells were exposed to sodium arsenite at concentrations of 0.0(control),0.1 and 1.0 μmol/L for 72hours.Cell viability was measured by Alamar Blue assay.Melanin levels and TYR activity were measured at the same time.Results After exposure for 72 hours,the cells of 0.1 μmol/L dose groups of both of the two cell lines [A375:(103.32 + 1.26)％; G361:(104.10 + 1.76)％] showed a slightincrease of proliferation without significant differences compared with those of the control[A375:(100.00 ± 1.08)％; G361:(100.00 + 1.79)％,all P ＜ 0.05] ;while cell viability of the 1.0 μmol/L dose group of both of the two cell lines[A375:(75.32 ± 1.59)％; G361:(78.26 ± 2.10)％] were significantly lower than those of the control (all P ＜ 0.05).Melanin levels of G361 cell line [(7.19 ± 0.35),(7.34 ± 0.83),(8.19 ± 0.86)pg/cell] were significantly higher than that of A375[(4.35 ± 0.72),(4.54 ± 0.01),(4.60 + 0.59)pg/cell,all P ＜ 0.05] in all the three groups.TYR activity of G361 cell line [(54.13 ± 1.21),(54.56 ± 0.21),(56.25 ± 0.85)Bq] were also markedly higher than that of A375 cell[(42.00 ±0.21),(42.90 ± 0.54),(42.91 ± 0.01)Bq,all P ＜ 0.05] in all the three groups.The melanin levels and TYR activities of both of the two cells lines showed an increase tendency along with increased doses of arsenic exposure,but without significant differences when compared with those of the three groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Arsenic related pigment disorder may be associated with increased melanin levels and TYR activities induced by arsenic exposure; individual difference of pigment metabolism may be associated with different basal melanin levels and TYR activity between different individuals.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of sweep pattern visual evoked potential in assessing visual acuity (SPVEP-A)of amblyopic children.Design Prospective clinical study.Participants 80 patients(148 case)of amblyopic children and 26 children(52 case)with normal vision.Methods The correlation were analysed of SPVEP-A and E acuity in 80 amblyopic children and of SPVEP-A and PVEP-A in 26 children of normal visual.SPVEP-A was recorded with UTAS-E 3000(LKC)using gratings of 25 differ- ent spatial frequency from 0.2 to 18.8cpd as stimulus.The response were averaged and DFT on the monitor display.SPVEP-A was de- termined by extrapolate to 0 response amplitude.Both transient PVEP-A and SPVEP-A were examined in 26 normal children.The ob- jective visual acuity in PVEP were determined with the highest spatial frequency which evoked a recognizable response.Main Out- come Measures SPVEP-A,PVEP-A and E acuity.Results SPVEP-A were from 0.35 to 0.9 among 80 patients with corrected E acu- ity from 0.1 to 0.8.The correlation coefficient of SVEP-A-I with E acuity was 0.602 .The correlation coefficient of SPVEP-A.between reproducibility detection was 0.448.The correlation between SPVEP-A and E acuity in amblyopic slightly was higher than middle and severe amblyopia(r=0.773 vs r=0.590).In 26 normal children a correlation coefficient of 0.679 was obtained between E acuity anti PVEP-A but 0.424 between E acuity and SPVEP-A.Higher evaluation or lower evaluation of E acuity was found in SPVEP-A in this study.Acuity was upostimated in lower scope of E acuity and underestimated in higher scope of E acuity.The reproducibility and vari- ation were not satisified.Conclusion The sweep VEP is a objective method of amblyopic screening.There is significant positive corre- lation between SPVEP-A and E,but its variability is more great,so we should improve its stability and positive rate uheriorly.

AIM: To explore the role of intestinal lymphatic pathway in MODS pathogenesis by two-hit in rats. METHODS: Mesenteric lymph was diverted by ligating mesenteric lymph duct, and the MODS model was established by two-hit method. 45 Wistar rats were divided into three groups: mesenteric lymph duct ligation group, non-ligation group and sham group. All rats facilitated blood withdrawal for serum sample at pre-experiment and after 24 h. Then organs including kidney, liver, lung, heart and intestine were collected for preparing homogenate. The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF?), nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined. RESULTS: It showed that the MODS model was established successfully. After two-hit, the TNF?, NO 2 -/NO 3 -, NOS, iNOS and MDA in serum of non-ligation group were significantly increased than that in pre-experiment and sham group, and SOD was significantly lower ( P
