Objective To explore protective effect of heparin on renal of children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP).Methods Two hundred and fifteen cases with HSP were divided into heparin-treated group(110 cases,male 64,female 46) and control group (105 cases,male 61,female 44).Serum IL-6 and IL-8 levels were examined by using radioimmunoassay respectively.These patients were followed up for more than 6 months.Results 1.The level of IL-6,IL-8 did not show significant difference between heparin-treated group and control group before treatment.The serum concentrations of IL-6,IL-8 in heparin-treated group were obviously lower than those in control group,after treatment,there was significantly different[IL-6(116.50?19.45)vs(123.88?22.55)ng /L,t=2.573 P=0.011;IL-8(0.161?0.043)vs(0.173?0.048)?g/L,t=2.024 P=0.044].2.During more than 6 months follow-up there were 26 cases suffering from purpura nephritis in heparin-treated group, the morbidity was 25%; the morbidity in control group was 39.8%,the morbidity in treatment group was significant lower than that in control group(?2=5.061 P=0.024).The time of renal injury was significantly delay in treatment group(35.0?13.2)d compared with that of control group (26.0?12.1)d(t=2.659 P=0.010).Conclusions The serum IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations in HSP obviously decrease after heparin treatment.Heparin therapy can decrease the morbidity of renal injury in children with HSP and delay the time of renal injury effectively.

Objective Stress radiography provides an objective tool to measure posterior knee instability.This study was conducted to evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of measurements using Telos device to quantify posterior knee instability,compared wim KT-1000 and PDT test for consistency analysis.Methods From October 2008 to June 2009,68 stress radiographs in 34 patients with posterior knee instability were taken using Telos device.The amount of posterior displacement on the radiographs was measured independently by 2 surgeons on 2 separate occasions.Changes in intraclass correlation coefficients(ICCs)were examined to assess the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of the measurement,and were compared with those from KT-1000 and PDT test for consistency analysis.Results Intraobserver ICC was 0.992,while interobserver ICC Was 0.991.There was no significant difierence between Telos and KT-1000 in pair-t test.The data from Telos device was consistent with KT-1000.The coincident ratio Of PDT test was 20% while the posterior displacement of the tibia calculated on stress radiography was 5-10 mm.The coincident ratio of the PDT was 71.4% while the posterior displacement of the tibia calculatcd from stress radiography was 10-15 mm.Conclusion Using Telos device for stress radiograph provides a reproducible method to quantify posterior knee instability,and the consistency between Telos divece and KT-1000 was reliable.The coincident ratio of the PDT test with stress radiography increased when the posterior displacement of the tibia from stress view became more severe.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between Helicobac ter pylori (Hp) related gastritis and gastric mucosa content of interleukin - 8 (IL-8) and granuloeyte colony-stimulating factor ( G-CSF). Methods ELISA was used to detect the amount of IL-8 and G-CSF in supernate fluid of gastromucosal tissue culture from 60 patients, and to examine the difference between Hp infected and non-Hp infected cases. These 60 cases include normal gastric mucosa (n =20) , chronic gastritis mucosa (n = 14) , gastric ulcer mucosa (n = 13) , duodenal ulcer mucosa ( n = 13 ). Results The amounts of IL-8 and G-CSF in cases with Hp infection were significantly higher than those without infection (P

Hyperhomocysteinemia is an important independent risk factor for cardio-cerebrovas- cular diseases.Studies in recent years have suggested that hyperhomocysteinemia is also an independent risk factor for vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease.Mild vascular cognitive impairment is the prophase of vascular dementia.Mainly through the damage of vascular wall structure and its function,homocysteine may has correlation with mild vascular cognitive impairment.

Objective To summarize the clinical features,diagnosis and surgical strategies of the acute and subacute nontraumatic spinal cord injury.Methods We analyzed retrospectively 46 cases of patients with acute and subacute nontraumatic spinal cord injury,who were admitted in the southwest hospital between January 2010 and december 2015.We summarized the clinical data and the effects of the surgical treatments.Results Among the 46 patients,There were 27 males and 19 females with mean age of 40.7 years (10-70).They were followed up for more than 3 months.Neurological function of ASIA at the initial admission included A in 9 cases,B in 6,C in 12 and D in 19.There were 5 hematoma patients (10.9％),11 neurilemmoma cases(23.9％),4 cases of acute disc herination (8.7％),Vascular Malformation 7 cases (15.2％),5 meningioma patients (10.9％),glioma 10 cases(21.7％) and enterogenous cyst 1 case(2.2％).46 patients underwent preoperative MRI examination,followed by spinal canal exploration,lesion resection and/or decompression.Operation within 8 hours,the signs and symptoms were improved in 6 cases.Operation within 8-24 hours were improvement in 2 cases,Operation after 24 hours improvement in 25 cases.Conclusion Early MR imaging and emergency spinal canal exploration and lesion resection with or without lamina decompression surgery is effective for the treatment of patients with acute and subacute nontraumatic spinal cord injury.

Objective To determine the prognostic factors after radical resection (RR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Altogether 144 patients who had undergone RR for HCC from 1988 through 1995 were included for a univariate and a Cox multivariate analysis.Nineteen factors contributing to overall survival rate (SR) and disease-free SR were analysed.Results The 5-year SR and disease-free SR (N=144) were 47.3% and 23.9%,separately.Multivariate analysis revealed that classification of RR was the signficant factor to overall SR,and presence of vessel invasion was the signficant factor to disease-free SR.The 5-year SR and disease-free SR in the patholngically RR and clinically RR groups were 60.2%,29.0% and 14.0%,0%,respectively.The 5-year disease-free SR in the group without (or with) vessel invasion was 27.8% (or 0%).Conclusions The classification of RR is the determinative prngnostie factor.Pathologically RR is the first option for patients with in- dications.It is essential to improve adjuvant therapy to decrease postoperative recurrence and metastasis rates.

Objective To explore the effect of celecoxib on proliferation and apoptosis of the glioma cells. Methods The glioma cell U251 was used and disposed with different densities of celecoxib (0 μmol/L, 10 μmol/L, 20 μmol/L, 40 μmol/L and 80 μmol/L) for 24 h, 48h and 72 h. The methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to detect the tumor cell proliferation and flow cytometry was used to detect the tumor cell apoptosis rate. Results The Glioma U251 cells proliferation were significantly decreased with the increase of density of celecoxib in vitro, and there was significant difference in the inhibited rate in different density and different time (P<0.05). The apoptosis rate was higher in the density of 80 μmol/L (17.86%) than in that of 0 μmol/L (11.23%) (P<0.05). Conclusion Celecoxib can inhabit the proliferation of glioma U251 cells, and promote the apoptosis especially with the density of 80 μmol/L.

Objective:To describe the clinical results of a one-stage operation for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and a posterolateral corner reconstruction of popliteus tendon reconstruction,com-pared with an open popliteofibular ligament reconstruction.Methods:Our study included 33 patients who had undergone posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with use of an achilles tendon-bone allograft and posterolateral corner reconstruction with arthroscopic anatomical reconstruction of popliteus tendon or open reconstruction of popliteofibular ligament.The patients were assessed for knee instability with use of the dial test at 30°and 90°,together with posterior stress radiography and KT-1000 measurement.Re-sults:The mean time of follow-up was more than 2 years.At the final follow-up evaluation,the tibial posterior translation as measured by stress radiography at 90°of knee flexion,the anterior-posterior trans-lation as measured by KT-1000,and the external rotation of tibia as measured by dial test were reduced postoperatively (P<0.001 )in both groups.Between the two groups,the preoperative tibial posterior translation as measured by stress radiography and the preoperative mean anterior-posterior translation as measured by KT-1000 in the popliteofibular ligament group were a little more than those in the popliteus tendon group (P=0.014,P<0.001).But the other comparisons were not significantly different (P>0.05).The final flexion losses were 3.33°±4.88°and 3.06°±3.38°for the two groups.Conclusion:Combined with posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,anatomical posterolateral corner reconstruc-tion of the popliteus tendon and open reconstruction of popliteofibular ligament showed similar out-comes.This study demonstrated that both posterolateral corner reconstruction techniques were a reliable alternative method in addressing posterolateral corner and posterior cruciate ligament insufficiency of the knee.
