Objective To study the action of Shuganwan(SHGW) on experimental gastric ulcer in mice. Methods The anti-ga stric ulcer action of SHGW was observed on the gastric ulcer induced by water im mersion stress, reserpine and absolute ethyl alcohol. The effect on gastric secr etion in rats was studied by pyloric ligation. The effect on gastrointestinal mo tility was observed by gastric emptying in mice. The analgesic effect was tested by the hot-plate test and writhing method. Results SHGW m arkedly inhibited gastric ulcer induced by water immersion stress, reserpine and absolute ethyl alcohol. SHGW significantly inhibited the secretion of gastric a cid and pepsin and promoted the secretion of gastric mucus. SHGW markedly delaye d gastric emptying in normal mice and when gastric emptying was stimulated by ne ostigmine. SHGW mildly strengthend the effect of atropine on gastric emptying. S HGW enhanced hot pain threshold and decreased the number of twisting body in mic e. Conclusion Shuganwan may have anti-gastric ulcer ac tion. The mechanism of the action might be associated with its inhibition of the secretion of gastric juice, promotion of the secretion of gastric mucus,inhibit ion of activity of gastric smooth muscle and analgetic effect.

Objective To establish a rat model of glioma for MRI study.Methods Fischer 344 rats were inoculated with F98 glioma cells in caudate nucleus by stereotaxic procedure.MRI scanning and pathology examination were performed to observe the tumor growth on 6,8,10,12,and 14 d, respectively,after inoculation and their survival was also analyzed.Results After inoculation,tumors were found in all rats by MRI as early as 6 days.Most of rats died on 14 d after inoculation.The volume of tumor increased as the inoculation time lengthened.The tumor volume measured by MRI was larger than actual size by autopsy,but the both correlated positively(r=0.91,P

Objective To investigate the prevalence features of helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection,anemia and iron deficiency in a po-pulation of Wuhan children with 2 to 6 years old,and the relationship between Hp infection and anemia,iron deficiency in the children.Methods Randomly taking 95 children who had taken tests in our hospital's check-up centre in 2008 as the study objects,2 kinds of exa-mination were employed to detect Hp infection.Serum levels of Hp-IgG were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods to evaluate past infection.The 14C urea breath test (14C-UBT) was conducted to obtain information of the presence of current/active Hp infection.In the morning 3 mL fasting venous blood was collected to determine the serum levels of Hp-IgG antibodies and ferritin.Hemoglobin values were determined with a hemoglobinometer.Serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were tested in order to determine whether the children had evidence of current inflammation or infection.In addition,demographic information such as age and gender of the children and information about their use of antibiotics within the prior month were recorded.All cases were divided into 2 groups including the Hp infection group and non-Hp infection group according to laboratory examinations,then the Logistic regression was applied to analyze the relationship between Hp infection and anemia,iron deficiency.The Kappa identity test was taked to compare the 2 measures.Results Of the 95 children,18.9% were anemic and 36.8% were iron deficient.Forty percent of the cohort had Hp-IgG antibodies,74.4% tested positive by the UBT.Presence of Hp-IgG emerged as a significant risk factor for anemia,iron deficiency in adjusted analysis controlling for demographic factors,current inflammation,and antibiotic use.Conclusions Findings from different measure of Hp may reflect different stages of infection,with UBT results reflecting an earlier stage of infection,and presence of Hp-IgG reflecting established Hp infection associated with anemia,iron deficiency.

A systematic review was undertaken, including studies that evaluated the incidence of the blood system adverse events of Tripterygium wilfordii (TWP). Medline, Embase and the Cochrane library were searched for relevant studies, including RCT, cohort studies and case series, of patients treated with TWP published in English and Chinese from inception up until May 25th, 2013 with the keywords including "Tripterygium wilfordii", "toxicity", "reproductive", "side effect", "adverse", "safety" and "tolerability". Relevant information was extracted and the incidence of the blood system adverse events was pooled with MetaAnalyst software. Besides, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed based on age, mode of medicine, observation time and disease system. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 49 articles were included in the meta-analysis, they were split into 54 researches incorporated in the analysis. There is a large degree of heterogeneity among the studies, so data was analyzed using random-effects model and the summary estimates of incidence of the blood system adverse events was 6.1%. The weighted combined incidence of three major blood system adverse events were white-blood cells decreasing 5.6% (95% CI, 4.3% - 7.3%), hemoglobin decreasing 1.7% (95% CI, 0.5% - 5.0%) and platelet decreasing 1.8% (95% CI, 1.0% - 3.1%), respectively . Sensitivity analyses based on 45 studies with high quality showed the combined value was close to the summary estimate of total 54 studies. The current evidence indicates that the incidence of the blood system adverse events induced by TWP was high; attentions should be paid on to the prevention and treatment of the blood system adverse events.

OBJECTIVETo compare mid-term clinical outcomes between amputation and limb salvage in treating severe open tibial fractures with type Gustilo III B, III C.

METHODSFrom July 2007 to June 2010,68 patients with severe open tibial fractures with type Gustilo III B, III C treated by amputation and limb salvage were retrospectively analyzed. In amputation group, there were 26 males and 12 females with an average age of (44.9±16.3) years old; and 21 cases were type Gustilo (III B, 17 cases were Gustilo III C; amputation were performed in accordance with soft tissue injury degree of shank, fracture types and surgical exploration. In limb salvageg group, there were 21 males and 9 females with an average age of (43.5±14.7) years old; and 23 cases were type Gustilo III B, 7 cases were Gustilo III C; the method of internal fixation and and wound healing were performed in accordance with patients's specific condition. Operative time, blood loss, hospital stay and postoperative infection was compared between two groups; time of loading and rate of return to work was compared; VAS scoring was used to evaluate condition of pain; SF-36 health queationaire was used to assess postoperative life quality.

RESULTSTotally 60 patients were followed up (33 cases in amputation group and 27 cases in limb salvage group) with an average time of 49.1 months. Operative time, blood loss, hospital stay and postoperative infection in amputation and limb salvage group respectively was (109.0±25.7) min, (245.0±58.6) min; (168.0±49.0) ml, (311.0±137.0) ml; (13.8±2.7) d, (28.8±13.1) d; 7.9%, 36.7%. At the final following-up, there was no significance meaning between two groups in VAS scoring and rate of return to work, but time of loading in amputation group was shorter than that of in limb salvage group. Physiological function in amputation group was better than limb salvage group, while body pain was worse; and there was no signicance meaning in psychological health between two groups.

CONCLUSIONAmputation and limb salvage both can treat severe open tibial fractures, and mid-term clinical outcomes between two groups has equivalent efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of absorbable self-enhancing cartilage nails in the treatment of radial head fractures.Methods Data of 22 patients with radial head fractures,who had undergone open reduction and internal fixation with absorbable self-enhancing cartilage nails from January 2008 to December 2011,were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,data of 18 patients were complete,including 10 males and 8 females.According to the Mason classification,there were 14 cases of Mason Ⅱ,3 cases of Mason Ⅲ and 1 case of Mason Ⅳ.Two patients were combined with radial neck fractures,9 with osteochondral fractures of capitellum,and 1 with posterior dislocation of the elbow and olecranon avulsion fracture.The radial head fractures were temporarily fixed with Kirschner wires after open reduction,then absorbable self-enhancing cartilage nails with length from 16 to 24 mm and diameters of 1.5 mm were applied to reach final fixation.The heads of nails were right underneath of cartilages without penetrating bone cortexes on the contralateral side.The radial neck fractures were reduced and fixed with T-plates or anatomical plates after the radial head fractures were fixed with cartilage nails.Four cases of osteochondral fracture of capitellum were fixed with absorbable sutures to external epicondyle of humerus.For other 5 cases of osteochondral fracture of capitellum,the bone fragments were removed due to too small to fix.Results All 18 patients were followed up for 6 to 54 months (average,31.3 months).All fractures achieved bone union,and the healing time ranged from 5 to 12 weeks (average,8.7 weeks).There were no complications,such as internal fixation failure,nonunion,hematoma,sinus formation,osteolytic changes of radial heads and so on.According to the Broberg-Morrey elbow performance score,13 cases were excellent,4 good,and 1 fair,with the total excellent and good rate of 94.44％ (17/18).At final follow-up,the elbow range of motion was 90° to 150° (average,123.8°),and the range of forearm rotation was 130° to 180° (average,152.5°).Conclusion Absorbable self-enhancing cartilage nails can be used to treat various kinds of radial head fractures,and the results are satisfactory.

BACKGROUND:Flexible intramedulary nailing and external fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures are two common methods in the clinic. It remains controversial which fixation methods are better. OBJECTIVE:To systematicaly evaluate the therapeutic effects of flexible intramedulary nailing and external fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures. METHODS: A computer-based search was performed on PubMed, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane library for literatures on clinical controled trials of flexible intramedulary nailing and external fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures published before November 25, 2014. Literature language was not limited. The age of subjects was from 3 to 15 years. Modified Jadad was utilized to assess methodological quality of the included studies. Meta-analysis was carried out using Stata 12.0 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Six papers involving 237 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with external fixation, a low incidence of overal complications [relative risk (RR)=0.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.19-0.46;P < 0.001] and pin-hole infection (RR=0.286, 95%CI: 0.13-0.61;P= 0.001), but a high risk of needle tail irritation (RR=1.86, 95%CI: 1.35-2.56;P < 0.001) were found folowing flexible intramedulary nailing. No significant differences in other complications were found between the two groups. These results confirm that compared with external fixation, elastic intramedulary nail has fewer complications and faster fracture healing. Elastic intramedulary nail is recommended for single pediatric femoral shaft fractures. However, external fixation is a better option for high energy injury of lower limbs, multiple trauma or severely soft tissue injury.
