This article is based on the searching from the United States Library of Congress Web Search science 2005 for the literature on the birth femoral fractures,reviewing its incidence,pathogenesis and treatment of such fractures of the latest developments,for the purpose of the provision of orthopedic and obstetric physician reference.Literature showed that neonatal birth femoral fractures might occur whether deli-veries were through the birth canal or by cesarean section.Whenever faced with fetal asphyxia,intracranial hemorrhage,such as critical state,it is critical to save the life of fetal babies,regardless of treatment.The prognosis of neonatal femoral shaft fractures is normally good without deformity left.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and side effects of FLAG and MEA regimen in the treatment of relapsed and refractory adult acute myeloid leukemia.Methods Use retrospective analysis to Observe the therapeutic effects and side effects of the 51 cases of relapsed and refractory adult acute myeloid leukemia (M3 except) from January 2009 to June 2012 in our hospital,which are divided into FLAG group (23 cases) and MEA group (28 cases) according to chemotherapy.Results In FLAG group,the rate of complete remission was 30.4 ％ (7/23),the rate of partial remission was 17.4 ％ (4/23),the effective rate was 47.8 ％ (11/23).In MEA group,the rate of complete remission was 35.7 ％ (10/28),the rate of partial remission was 21.4 ％ (6/28),the effective rate was 57.1％ (16/28),difference between two groups was not statistically significant. Both groups appeared Ⅳ degrees myelosupression,and there were no significant differences between them on incidences of secondary infection [95.7 ％ (22/23) vs 89.3 ％ (25/28)] and haemorrhagia [82.6 ％ (19/23) vs 85.7 ％ (24/28)].Difference on cardiac toxicity was statistically significant.Conclusions Compared with MEA regimen, FLAG regimen are similar effective and can be well tolerated,which has lower cardiac toxicity. Thus, FLAG regimen can be used as first-line treatment for relapsed and refractory adult acute myeloid leukemia.

ObjectiveTo compare the therapeutic efficacy between warm needling and Western medication in treating chronic atrophic gastritis.MethodSixty patients were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The observation group was intervened by warm needling, selecting Guanyuan (CV4), Qihai (CV6), Zusanli (ST36), Xuehai (SP10), and Geshu (BL17); The control group was by Western medication, including Omeprazole, Amoxillin, Metronidazole, etc. The clinical efficacies were compared after 8-week treatment. Besides, gastroscopewas ordered at outset and after 8-week treatment to compare the therapeutic efficacies.ResultIn comparing the clinical symptoms, the total effective rate was 93.3% in the observation group versus 70.0% in the control group (P<0.05); the gastroscope scores dropped significantly in both groups after 8-week treatment (P<0.05), and the score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionAcupuncture-moxibustion can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and gastroscopic results in patients with chronic gastritis, and its therapeutic efficacy is superior to that of Western medication.

At present, majority of the small molecular drugs used in clinics target proteins, they exert the efficacy through the binding to specific sites on the target protein. However, the "druggable" protein targets account for a small portion of the total number of proteins, and "non-druggable" proteins account for 80%, because of not having suitable drug binding sites. In the central rule, RNA is located in the upstream of proteins and controls the transcription of proteins. The research of small molecule drugs targeting RNA can solve the problem of protein "undruggable proteins" in some extent. This review summarizes the representative research achievements of small molecular drugs targeting RNA in recent years, and the screening methods applied to this field, with the focuses on the latest progress of small molecular drugs targeting novel coronavirus RNA.

Objective:To study the effect and underlying mechanism of sulfur-fumigation and water-soaking on total ash of Di-oscoreae Rhizoma, find the key factor( s) affecting the total ash of Dioscoreae Rhizoma, and explore the rationality of ash limits of Di-oscoreae Rhizoma described in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Methods:Dioscoreae Rhizoma was respectively dealt with sulfur-fumigation and water-soaking. The changes in total ash content of Dioscoreae Rhizoma was detected by the ash determination methods for total ash and SO2 described in the pharmacopoeia, and then the ash content change of inorganic salts was used to study the mechanism. Results:Sulfur-fumigation could slightly reduce the total ash content of Dioscoreae Rhizoma, while significantly reduce the ash content of calcium oxalate and calcium sulfate with the reduction degree of 7. 20% and 9. 90%, respectively. Calcium phosphate and calcium chloride were slightly affected by sulfur-fumigation, and the results indicated that the effect of sulfur-fumigation on ash content was mainly real-ized by increasing the decomposition rate of calcium oxalate and calcium sulfate. Water-soaking could decline the ash content of Di-oscoreae Rhizoma, and the phenomenon was common in the rhizome medicinal materials. The influence of water-soaking on total ash was more significant than that of sulfur fumigation. Conclusion:Sulfur-fumigation can reduce the total ash content of Dioscoreae Rhizo-ma by increasing the decomposition rate of calcium oxalate and calcium sulfate, however, the effect is mild and the process isn't the key influencing factor in the total ash content of Dioscoreae Rhizoma. During the preparation of Dioscoreae Rhizoma medicinal slices, water-soaking can cause the great loss of water-soluble mineral salts, such as Cl-, C2 O4 2-, NO3 - and SO4 2-, which leads to the reduction of total ash content, therefore, water-soaking is the key influencing factor in the total ash content of Dioscoreae Rhizoma.

In order to provide anatomical basis for transoral approach (TOA) in dealing with the ventro lesions of craniocervical junction, and the design and application of artificial atlanto-odontoid joint, microsurgical dissecting was performed on 8 fresh craniocervical specimens layer by layer through transoropharyngeal approach. The stratification of posterior pharyngeal wall, course of vertebral artery, adjacent relationship of atlas and axis and correlative anatomical parameters of replacement of artificial atlanto-odontoid joint were observed. Besides, 32 sets of atlanto-axial joint in adults' fresh bony specimens were measured with a digital caliper and a goniometer, including the width of bony window of anterior arch of atlas, the width of bony window of axis vertebra, the distance between superior and inferior two atlas screw inserting points, the distance between two axis screw inserting points etc. It was found that the width of atlas and axis which could be exposed were 40.2+/-3.5 mm and 39.3+/-3.7 mm respectively. The width and height of posterior pharyngeal wall which could be exposed were 40.1+/-5.2 mm and 50.2+/-4.6 mm respectively. The distance between superior and inferior two atlas screw inserting points was 28.0+/-2.9 mm and 24.0+/-3.5 mm respectively, and the distance of bilateral axis screw inserting points was 18.0+/-1.2 mm. The operative exposure position through TOA ranged from inferior part of the clivus to the superior part of the C3 vertebral body. Posterior pharyngeal wall consisted of 5 layers and two interspaces: mucosa, submucosa, superficial muscular layer, anterior fascia of vertebrae, anterior muscular layer of vertebrae and posterior interspace of pharynx, anterior interspace of vertebrae. This study revealed that it had the advantages of short operative distance, good exposure and sufficient decompression in dealing with the ventro lesions from the upper cervical to the lower clivus through the TOA. The replacement of artificial atlanto-odontoid joint is suitable and feasible. The design of artificial atlanto-odontoid joint should be based on the above data.

AIM: To discuss the clinical efficacy of fresh amniotic membrane ( AM ) during the microscopic adjustable suture surgery in children's intercommunity strabismus, in order to guide clinical treatment.
METHODS: With the clinical randomized control study (RCT), 60 (112 eyes) cases of patients in childhood who received microscopic strabismus surgery in our hospital were divided them into two different groups from Jan. 2010 to Oct. 2015. According to the application of AM on the basis of ophthalmology outpatient number, 30 cases (58 eyes) in group A were treated with rectus muscle recession surgery combined adjustable suture combined with AM. The other 30 cases (54 eyes) in group B were treated with rectus muscle recession surgery combined adjustable suture only. All patients in two groups were followed-up over 6mo after the strabismus surgery.
RESULTS:Twenty-seven cases ( 48 eyes ) of all the strabismus patients must be adjusted after strabismus surgery, and the eye position adjustment rate was 42.9%. At 1mo after surgery, eye position of 18 cases (29 eyes) can be adjusted in all patients, and 44. 8% (16 cases, 26 eyes ) in group A with the average of adjustment lengths was 2. 56±0. 64mm, and 5. 6% ( 2 cases, 3 eyes ) in group B, with the average of adjustment lengths was 0. 52±0. 28mm, the differences of the adjustment rate and the average of adjustment amount were both high statistically significant (χ2 =22.477, P<0. 01; t=16. 502, P<0. 01 ) between the two groups. Except of 3 cases who couldn't cooperate with eye position adjustment, they all received eye position adjustment in different degrees in one month after strabismus surgery,and after eye position adjustment, 27 cases (53 eyes) in group A got normal eye position, and the correction rate of eye position was 91. 4%, and 16 cases (28 eyes) in group B got normal eye position after eye position adjustment, the correction rate was 51. 9%, the differences of the correction rate were statistically significant (χ2=21. 827, P<0. 01) between the two groups.
CONCLUSION: The application of fresh AM in the microscopic adjustable suture strabismus surgery is exactly effective in treatment of children's intercommunity strabismus. It can significantly extend the adjustment time and increase the adjustment amount, and it also can statistically improve the controllability and achievement ratio for children's strabismus surgery.

Objective To evaluate the stability and repeatability of gradient-echo sampling of spinecho (GESSE) sequence in measuring the R2'value in volunteers, by comparison with traditional GRE sequence (T2* map and T2 map). Methods Eight normal healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study and written informed consents were obtained from all subjects. MR scanning including sequences of GESSE,T2 map and T2 * map were performed in these subjects at resting status. The same protocol was repeated one day later. Raw data from GESSE sequence were transferred to PC to conduct postprocessing with the software built in house. R2'map and OEF map were got consequently. To obtain quantitative R2'and OEF values in the brain parenchyma, six ROIs were equally placed in the anterior, middle and posterior part of bilateral hemispheres. Both mean and standard deviation of R2 'and OEF were recorded. All images from T2 * map and T2 map were transferred to the Workstation for postprocessing. The ROIs were put at the same areas as those for GESSE sequence. R2'is defined as R2' = R2 * -R2,R2* = 1/T2*. The R2'value of GESSE sequence were compared with that of GRE sequence. Results The mean R2 'values of GESSE at the first and second scan and those of the GRE were (4.21 ±0.92),(4.45 ±0. 94) Hz and (7.37 ±1.47), (6. 42 ±2. 33) Hz 0. 035 respectively. The R2'value and OEF value obtained from GESSE were not significantly different between the first and second scan ( t = - 0. 83, - 1.48, P ＞ 0. 05 ). The R2' value of first GRE imaging had significantly statistical difference from that of second GRE inaging ( t = 1.80, P ＜ 0. 05 ). The R2' value of GESSE sequence was less than that of GRE sequence, and there was significantly statistical difference between them(t = 1.71 ,P＜0. 05). Conclusion The GESSE sequence has good stability and repeatability with promising clinical practicability.

Objective:To study the anatomical correlation between dental arch and the volume of upper airway in patients with obstruc-tive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome(OSAHS). Methods: Dental arch architecture and upper airway volume were measured by cone beam CT(CBCT) in the subjects with OSAHS(n=22) and without OSAHS(n=19). The correlation between dental arch and the supper airway volume in OSAHS patients was analyzed. Results:The length of the upper dental arch and the height of palate in OSAHS patients were larger than those of the controls(All, P<0. 05). Cross-sectional area of nasopharynx and retropalatal and the total volume of upper airway were negatively correlated with the palatal height and upper dental arch length(P<0. 05), while positively correlated with upper dental arch of molar regions(P<0. 05). Conclusion:The abnormal shape of upper dental arch is related to the airway vol-ume of nasopharynx and retropalatal region in patients with OSAHS.
