Objective To investigate the clinical effect of glutamine on parenteral alimentation in patients with severe craniocerebral injury in ICU. Methods 120 patients with severe brain injury in our hospital from November 2013 to November 2014 were selected as the research object.According to the random number table method, the 120 patients were divided into experimental group and control group, 60 cases in each group.The patients in the experimental group received glutamine parenteral nutrition support, while the control group received conventional parenteral nutritional support.The serum total protein, albumin, the complications and malnutrition-inflammation score(MIS) scores of the two groups were compared.Results The serum total protein and serum albumin levels of the experimental group post-treatment were significant higher than those in the control group (P<0.001).The complication rate in the experimental group was 15.0%, significantly lower than the control group of 55.0%(χ2 =21.099,P<0.001).The patients of normal MIS score in the experimental group were obviously superior to the control group ( 70.0% vs.33.3%, χ2 =16.151, P <0.001 ). Conclusion Adding glutamine to parenteral nutrition support therapy in the treatment of patients with severe craniocerebral injury can effectively improve the nutritional status after operation and strengthen nutrition support.

Objective To analyze the iatrogenic fractures following treatment of type 12-A humeral shaft fractures with antegrade intramedullary nails. Methods We reviewed the patients who had been treated with antegrade intramedullary nails for type 12-A humeral shaft fracture from October 2006 to March 2017. They were 13 males and 13 females with an age range from 22 to 76 years and an average age of 44. 5 years. Six of them were complicated with other fractures or radial nerve injury. We divided the patients into an iatrogenic fracture ( IF ) group and a non-iatrogenic fracture ( NIF ) group and compared gender, age, fracture type, reaming and nonunion between the 2 groups. Results The follow-up time for the 26 patients ranged from 13 to 182 weeks ( 63. 8 weeks on average ) . Of them, 7 suffered iatrogenic fracture and 4 nonunion. The union time for the other 22 patients ranged from 9 to 29 weeks ( 14. 6 weeks on average ) . All the 7 patients in the iatrogenic fracture group were treated with reaming while only 9 of the 19 patients in the non-iatrogenic fracture group were treated with reaming. Nonunion occurred in 3 patients in the iatrogenic fracture group but in only one patient in the non-iatrogenic fracture group. All the above comparisons were statistically significant between the 2 groups ( P < 0. 05 ) but there were no significant differences in comparisons between the 2 groups regarding gender, age, nail diameter, fracture type, way of locking proximal and distal screws or rate of secondary surgery ( P > 0. 05 ) . Conclusions Antegrade intramedullary nailing may cause an iatro-genic fracture in the treatment of type12-A humeral shaft fractures. The iatrogenic fracture may affect fracture union. Intraoperative reaming may be the risk factor for the iatrogenic fracture.

Objective:To investigate the effect of enhancing the strength of the hamstring on the stability of the knee joint.Methods:Thirty patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears were randomly divided into a training group ( n=15) and a control group ( n=15). After the injury′s edema stage, all of the subjects received the standard 6-stage rehabilitation training for ACL injury, including isokinetic exercise, isometric tension and contraction exercise, single or bipedal jumping, proprioception exercises and cardiovascular exercise. On the basis of that standard training, additional hamstring strengthening training was given to the training group. It involved three sessions of weight-bearing flexion of the knee joint six to eight times, at least five times a week for three months. All of the subjects underwent the passive relaxation test (PRT), knee function scoring (Lysholm scores) and weight-bearing MRI before and within 1 month after the training. Anterior shift of the tibia (TAS) was measured using weight-bearing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results:Before the training there were no significant differences between the groups in terms of average PRT or Lysholm scores. After the training, the average PRT score in neither group had improved significantly. The average Lysholm scores of the training and control groups were not significantly different either, though both groups′ averages had improved significantly compared with before the training. The average tibial shifts were also significantly smaller than before the training, with the training group′s average significantly smaller than that of the control group.Conclusion:Increasing hamstring muscle strength can reduce tibial anteversion in the weight-bearing upright position and improve the stability of the knee joint after ACL injury.
