A multi-channel central monitoring system based on B/S mode is designed. It is consistent of the central monitoring server software, the Internet Explorer in the client PC, and a physiological signal collector. The server software can accept two client's request of data transfer, and real-time monitor several patients through Internet. The client uses the B/S mode, and just need to install an ActiveX control. The only thing users should to do is opening the Intemet Explorer, from which the waveform and signals are shown and transferred. The system extends the central monitoring service from hospital to the community, and is benefit for patient's long-term observation and cutting fees. Additionally, it can be a new solution of network based health care devices.

A real-time tele-monitoring system for physiological multi-parameter based on Internet is introduced,and physiological signals are transmitted by P2P network technology.The experiment results show that the speed of data transfer has been improved greatly using P2P technology,and physiological signals,such as ECG,can be monitored in real-time.

Objective To study the etiology,diagnosis and treatment of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC).Methods Clinical data of 78 cases with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (confirmed by postoperative pathology) from January 1985 to December 2012 were reviewed retrospectively.Results All 78 cases underwent ultrasonography,50 cases did CT scan.Preoperative diagnosis included chronic calculous cholecystitis in 60 cases,gallbladder carcinoma with cholelithiasis in 8 cases,gallbladder space-occupying lesions in 10 cases.Among those 68 cases of tentative gallstone disease,67 cases were with gallbladder neck incarcerated stones.Surgery were performed in all 78 cases including cholecystectomy in 48 cases,partial cholecystectomy or subtotal resection in 13 eases,cholecystectomy with partial hepatic wedge resection in 12 cases.Intraoperatively 5 cases were misdiagnosed as the carcinoma of the gallbladder and underwent partial liver resection along with cholecystectomy.17 cases underwent choledocholithotomy.2 cases suffered from hepatic duct injury and received Roux-en-Y hepatojejunal anastomosis.Conclusions XGC is a special type of chronic cholecystitis,and accompanied by yellow granuloma formation.Preoperative diagnosis of XGC is often difficult,the definite diagnosis depends on intraoperative fiozen and postoperative paraffin pathology.

Objective To evaluate the short and mid-term effects of fixing comminuted posterior acetabular wall fractures with structural autologous iliac bone graft combined with mini screws.Methods From January 2010 to January 2014,29 patients with comminuted posterior acetabular wall fracture were treated by structural autologous iliac bone graf combined with mini screws.They were 21 males and 8 females,with a mean age of 44.2 years (range,from 22 to 58 years).The mean time form injury to operation was 7.8 days (range,from 1 to 25 days).The operations were performed through the Kocher-Langenbeck approach,with the patients in the lying position on the uninjured side.The fragments were reduced and fixed by mini screws and the ischemic ones were removed.Structural autologous iliac bone graft was used to reconstruct the posterior wall of acetabulum before a reconstruction plate was applied to compress and maintain it.The functional outcomes were evaluated by the modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel clinical grading system at the last follow-ups.The radiographs were graded according to the Matta criteria.Results By the Matta criteria,10 cases achieved excellent reduction,16 good reduction,and 3 poor reduction,giving a good to excellent rate of 89.7％.Of this series,29 patients were followed up for 31.5 months on average (range,from 12 to 48 months).By the modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel criteria,the functional recovery was rated as excellent in 16 cases,good in 9,fair in 3 and poor in one,giving a good to excellent rate of 86.2％.Two cases developed femoral head necrosis according to the magnetic resonance imaging 18 months postoperation.Three patients developed traumatic arthritis two years postoperation.Five patients developed heterotopic ossification postoperation,with no obvious clinical symptoms.Two patient with injury to the sciatic nerve recovered 4 months postoperation.Conclusions Structural autologous iliac graft combined with mini screws can reconstruct the integrity and stability of the fractured acetabular posterior wall,avoiding osteonecrosis of the acetabulum.This surgical technique is effective and safe in treatment of comminuted fracture of the acetabular posterior wall.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of osteoclasts and osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (OPG/RANKL) system on bone destruction of psoriatic arthritis.MethodsThe peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 41 psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients,20 osteoarthritis (OA) patients and 24 healthy controls were cultured to become osteoclasts.After 14 days,cytochemistry method was used to detect tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) expression.At the same time,enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay(ELISA) was used to measure the levels of serum OPG and RNAKL for all cases.At the same time,the clinical and laboratory examinations of the PsA were collected.Statistical analysis was conducted with one-way ANOVA and Spearman's correlation.ResultsSignificantly higher OC production was observed in the peripheral blood of PsA patients[(17.7±4.8)/view field] than that of the healthy controls[(6.4±1.6)/view field] and OA patients [(6.5±l.6)/view field].The levels of RANKL were significantly higher in PsA patients [(178±38) pg/ml] than those in the other two groups [(32±4) pg/ml and (67±17) pg/ml].There was significant difference between the PsA group with bone destruction and without destruction in the levels of OC and RANKL [(17.6±0.9) /view vs(7.9±1.3) /view and(199±72) pg/ml vs(128±44) pg/ml,P＜0.01].Imaging scores was positively correlated with the levels of OC and RANKL in PsA patients (P＜0.05).ConclusionIn PsA,there are significantly more OC and higher RANKL in the peripheral blood than those of the controls.The high levels of OC and RANKL are closely related with bone destruction.OC and RANKL are useful in identifying bone destruction.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of cystic dilatation of the cystic duct in adults.Method Clinical data of 25 cases of the cystic dilatation of cystic duct in adults in 3 hospitals in Songhuajiang river drainage area from 1991 to 2012 confirmed by surgery were analyzed retrospectively.Results The 25 cases were with manifestations of chronic cholecystitis,and 14 patients with right upper quadrant recurrent biliary colic and nausea,vomiting and other gastrointestinal symptoms,9 patients with yellowish discoloration of sclera and skin,and fever.Ultrasonography was done in 25 cases,ERCP in 16 cases and MRCP in 9 cases,displaying liquid dark area of diameter from 1.6 cm × 1.6 cm to 2.5 cm ×2.5 cm in the gallbladder tube suspective of calculi,and characteristic dumbbell shape image.Preoperative diagnosis was cystic duct cyst with stones or gallstones which was confirmed by surgery.Gallbladder and cyst resection was performed in all 25 cases,and bile duct jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis was done in 2 of these cases because of introgenic bile duct injury.Conclusions Cysts of the cystic duct is the special type (Ⅵ type) of choledochocele,and its prognosis is good after surgical treatment.

AIM: To investigate the role of N-cadherin in the delamination of neural crest cells. METHODS: The normal expression of N-cadherin in neural tube was identified using in situ hybridization. The cells with N-cadherin over expression were obtained by transfection of wild-type N-cadherin (wt-N-cadherin) ,and the cells with N-cadherin silencing expression were obtained by transfection of dominant-negative N-cadherin (dn-N-cadherin). The migration of cranial neural crest cells was determined by the technique of immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Either overexpression or down-regulation of N-cadherin significantly affected the migration of cranial neural crest cells. CONCLUSION: Delamination and migration of the cranial neural crest cells rely on the relative N-cadherin expression in the neural tube during neurulation.

Objective:To compare the effect of posterolateral plate and anterolateral locking plate in surgical treatment for extra-articular distal humeral shaft fractures.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was made on 52 patients with extra-articular distal humeral shaft fractures admitted in Tianjin Hospital from January 2014 to October 2016. There were 32 males and 20 females, with the age from 18 to 56 years [(36.9±10.9)years]. According to the AO/OTA classification, there were 15 patients with type A, 32 type B, and 5 type C. Twenty-three patients were treated with osterolateral locking plate (Group A) and 29 with anterolateral locking plate (Group B). Operation time, bone union time, range of motion of the elbow, Mayo elbow performance score and complication rate were evaluated.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-20 months [(13.7±2.2)months]. Operation time was (79.8±9.6)minutes in Group A and (85.0±11.6)minutes in Group B ( P>0.05). Bone union time was (4.1±1.0)months in Group A and (4.1±1.0)months in Group B ( P>0.05). Degrees of elbow extension was 3.9°(0.0°, 5.0°) in Group A, and 4.4°(0.0°, 5.0°) in Group B ( P>0.05). Degrees of elbow flexion was 127.4°(125.0°, 132.50°) in Group A and 128.5°(122.5°, 132.5°) in Group B ( P>0.05). Mayo elbow performance score was 91.0 (90.0, 93.5) points in Group A and 90.2 (90.0, 92.5)points in Group B ( P>0.05). Radial nerve damage was noted after operation, showing no significant difference between two groups [2 patients (9%) in Group A and 3 patients (10%) in Group B] ( P>0.05), and the symptoms were recovered in all patients within 3 months. Conclusions:Both the posterolateral and anterolateral locking plate are effective in surgical treatment for extra-articular distal humeral shaft fractures. However, the posterolateral plate can be placed closer to the distal end of the humerus and the multi-directional locking design is more stable, which has advantages for the patient with fracture line close to the elbow joint.

Objective To establish a pediatric echocardiographic normal reference system based on clinical BigData and overcome limitations such as insufficient sample size and diverse in methods of normalization . Methods Measurements were extracted from total 71 831 pediatric echocardiography reports in the past 5 years by using the Natural Language Processing ( NLP) technology . Among them ,a total of 12 732 reports were labeled as normal and were used to establish the normal reference system . A local regression ( LOESS ) approach was used to optimize both the reference value and variance across 5 grow th variables ( aortic diameter ,left atrium diameter ,left ventricle end‐diastolic endocardial diameter ,left main coronary artery diameter ,and right main coronary artery diameter) . T wo Z scores adjusted for age/sex and body surface area ( BSA ) were established respectively . In addition , 4 459 echocardiography reports with BSA information were used to evaluate these two Z scores . Results T wo Z scores generated from 4 459 reports showed pretty good normal distribution . T here were close strong correlations among two Z scores with Z scores generated based on the Pediatric Heart Network ( PHN ) . T he average correlation coefficient between BSA‐adjust Z scores and PHN Z scores was 0 .954 . T he average correlation coefficient between age/sex‐adjust Z scores and PHN Z scores was 0 .895 . T he results of this project were available as Z score calculator using the following link :http ://hdb .nbscn .org/zscore . Conclusions BigData provides a more efficient and better approach to establish normal reference systems in pediatric echocardiography .
