Objective To explore the differences of the joint function and the patient's satisfaction between two different methods to reconstruct limb length for unilateral Crowe Ⅳ developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).Methods The clinical controlled study were used.21 cases with unilateral DDH Crowe Ⅳ treated with total hip arthroplasty were divided into 2 groups randomly.The patients in the first group were reconstructed the limb with the compensatory length and those in the second group were did with the real length.The patients were followed up 10 years.Two independent sample t-test was used to compare these two operations.Harris scores and SF-36 scores were used in the test.Survival analysis with Kaplan-Meier method was involved in the survival of the prosthesis and then test with Log-rank test.X-ray films of different period were compared to confirm the prosthetic loosening.Results Seventeen patients were followed up 8-10 years.There were no significant differences both in Harris score and most of the SF-36 scores at the median follow-up of 10 years.The item mental healthy of SF-36 expressed significant difference.Five patients required revision.There were 10 cases suffered with polyethylene wear,6 cases with severe osteoporosis in greater trochanter,and 3 cases with osteolytic reaction.Conclusion There are no significant differences between the two surgical method in the survival rate of prosthesis and the joint function in the median follow up.The satisfaction of the control groups is lower than the trial groups both at the early stage after the operation and the median follow up.The revision rate between the two groups is similar but the reason is different.

A patient with impaired kidney function after kidney transplantation and received treatment at the First Hospital of Jilin University was retrospective analyzed. The patient was male, 45 years old, and was diagnosed hemolytic uremic syndrome by transplanted kidney biopsy. The patient received cyclosporine A (CsA) as maintenance centered immunosuppression therapy postoperatively. He was admitted because of 1 week acratia followed by 1 day increased serum creatinine level at 1.5 years after transplantation. At 1 day after admission, he was received renal needle biopsy, and underwent 2 days Prednlsolone treatment. After hemolytic-uremic syndrome was diagnosed, CsA was transferred to Tacrolimus (Fk506) with dose of 2 mg/d, and Azathioprine was replaced by mycophenolate, Prednisone was taken orally for 20 mg/d. The function of the transplanted kidney and the change of routine blood tests were observed. After 1 week treatment of the changed Immunosuppression therapy, the function of the transplanted kidney was improved obviously, and the hemoglobin and platelets was decreased during the treatment. The results demonstrated that kidney biopsy is a key method to diagnose hemolytic-uremic syndrome, and adjustment of immunosuppressive agents, replacing CsA with FK506 are effective for postoperative hemolytic-uremic syndrome.

Objective To investigate the key points for management of subclinical and agonal types of penetrating cardiac trauma (PCT).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 135 PCT cases treated from January 2005 to March 2012.The cases were divided into subclinical type,clinical type (cardiac tamponade or hemorrhagic shock types) and agonal type.Managements of the two extreme types including subclinical type and agonal type were studied in groups.Results (1) Thirty cases of subclinical type failed to have timely diagnosis and treatment due to the withdrawal from inhospital observation,which resulted in 22 deaths.Eleven cases of subclinical type had timely diagnosis through in-hospital observation or cardiac exploration,but three cases died in operating room thoracotomy (ORT).There were 27 cases of agonal type,but 15 died in ORT and two died in emergency room thoracotomy (ERT).Of 67 cases of clinical type,seven died in ORT.(2) A total of 86 cases survived ORT or ERT after timely diagnosis or diagnosis through in-hospital observation plus cardiac exploration.In the meantime,sound recovery was observed in 3-24 months of follow-up.Conclusion Success rate in treatment of PCT can be enhanced by close observation and timely cardiac exploration for subclinical type PCT and by timely ERT and bleeding control for agonal type PCT.

Objective To investigate the influence factors of quantitative changes of dendritic cells (DC) in neonate born to HBsAg positive mother.Methods Sixty HBsAg positive mothers and their newborns were enrolled from the Third People's Hospital of Taiyuan from July 2011 to March 2012.The serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers and HBV DNA in mothers and newborns before vaccination were determined by chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) and fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The circulating frequencies of DC subsets were determined in the newborns by flow cytometry (FCM).The comparison of data was done by Mann-Whitney test and t test.The correlation analysis was done by Spearman rank correlation analysis and chi square test.Results Among 60 newborns,5 were HBsAg positive and HBV DNA negative.Among 60 HBsAg positive mothers,21 were HBeAg positive and 29 were HBV DNA positive.There was no significant quantitative difference of neonatal myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) between intrauterine infection group and intrauterine non-infection group (Z=-0.535,P=0.59 and Z=-0.027,P=0.98,respectively).However,mother's HBeAg positive status was closely related with neonatal HBeAg positive status (Pearson contingency coefficient was 0.928,P＜0.01).The frequencies of mDC in newborns born to HBeAg positive mothers were significantly lower than those born to HBeAg negative mothers (0.60±0.57 vs 0.87±0.58; Z=-2.085,P＜0.05).However,there was no significant quantitative differences of mDC and pDC between newborns born to HBV DNA positive mothers and born to negative mothers (Z=-1.272,P=0.20 and Z=-0.806,P=0.42,respectively).The frequencies of pDC were significantly lower in newborns born to mothers with HBV DNA＞ 1 × 107 copy/mL compared to newborns born to HBV DNA negative mothers (0.30±0.18 vs 0.64±0.55; t=-2.996,P=0.005).Conclusions HBeAg positive status of mothers may reduce neonatal frequencies of mDC.Neonatal frequencies of pDC may be reduced when the mothers' HBV DNA loads are more than 1 × 107 copy/mL.
