This paper is to report our experience of using the internal fixation with compression-screw to treat 9 fractures of carpal navicular bone including two fresh) two old and 5 non- union cases.The mean follow-up time of the 9 cases was one year. Two fresh and 2 old fractures healed uneventfully and so did the 2 cases out of the 5 non-unions. The symptoms, however, disappeared in all the cases and the function of the wrist was or nearly was normal. All the patients resumed their original work.It is believed that this method of internal fixation with compression-screw is simple and easy to perform. Its effect is reliable. No external fixation is needed after the operation. And the function of the wrist can be restored after a short period of treatment.It is suggested that the indications of this operative treatment are non-union cases without ischemic necrosis, unstable fresh fractures with displacement and fractures in the proximal third or half of the navicular bone.

Objective To examine the association between uric acid (UA)levels of patients with acute ischemic stroke at ad-mission and discharged outcome.Methods The acute ischemic stroke patients of Xinganmeng People’s Hospital in Inner Mongolia,from June 1,2009 to May 31,2012 were continuity included in the present study,the included analysis sample size were 3 440 cases.Poor discharged outcome was defined as the occurrence of disability or death.With reference to the Modi-fied Rankin's Scale (MRs)Stroke Scale,Scores were recorded in the questionnaires,score of 3 or more (MRs≥3)was de-fined as disability.The patients were all grouped by P20,P60,P90 of UA,binary logistic regression were used in studying of risk factors,calculated the odds ratios (Odds ratio,OR)and 95% confidence interval (95% Confident interval,95%CI).All tests were two-sided test and a significance level of 0.05.Results A total of 359 people occurred poor outcomes in the stud-y,accounting for 10.44%.Univariate logistic regression analysis of poor outcome occurred showed that relative to the lowest group(P20,UA≤222.6 mmol/L),the second and third group (UA:222.7 ~ 310.9 mmol/L and 311.0~419.7 mmol/L) OR (95% CI)were:0.70(0.53~0.91)(P <0.05)and 0.66(0.49~0.88)(P <0.05).After adjusted age,body tempera-ture,high blood pressure,hyperglycemia,history of stroke,high triglycerides,high LDL-C and smoking,relative to the low-est level group,the second and third group occurred poor outcoming OR (95% CI)were:0.70(0.53~0.93)(P <0.05)and 0.66(0.48~0.90)(P <0.05).Conclusion Higher levels of uric acid levels in patients with acute ischemic stroke may inde-pendently related with occurred poor discharged outcome.

Pulmonary administration can directly deliver drugs to the lungs, making it the preferred mode of administration for pulmonary disease. Active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), such as quercetin and paclitaxel have demonstrated promising therapeutic effects on lung diseases. However, they face challenges such as poor water solubility and high lung clearance rates. Loading the active ingredients of TCM onto nano-drug delivery systems can enhance their water solubility, stability, permeability and retention in the lungs. Based on this, this study reviewed the research progress on inhalation nano-drug delivery systems for the active ingredients of TCM in the treatment of lung diseases. It was found that there are nano-drug delivery systems for TCM active ingredients based on chitosan, lipids (including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and nanostructured lipid carriers), and targeting ligands (including targeting folate receptor, targeting transferrin receptor, and exosomes). These inhalation nano-drug delivery systems comprehensively consider key factors such as particle size, surface charge, and hydrophobicity, which can prevent the drugs from being cleared by mucus, cilium and macrophages, thus exhibiting great potential for application.
