BACKGROUND:Nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 has been used in the treatment of early avascular necrosis and obtained the good curative effect that can significantly reduce the pain and delay the col apse of the femoral head. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy of core decompression with bone graft and nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 scaffold implantation versus core decompression with bone graft and tantalum rod implantation in treating early-stage avascular necrosis of the femoral head. METHODS:Total y 60 patients with early femoral head necrosis were randomly divided into two groups:observation group and control group. The observation group was treated by core decompression with bone graft and nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 scaffold implantation, and the control group treated by core decompression with bone graft and tantalum rod implantation. Then, we compared the time of operation, postoperative drainage volume, hospital stay, hospitalization expense, the number of postoperative pain between two groups. Al the subjects were fol owed for 12 months. The efficacy of two different surgical methods was evaluated by Harris scores, imaging curative effect and comprehensive curative effect. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Postoperative drainage volume, hospital stay, and hospital expenses were lower in the observation group than the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the operation time and the number of postoperative pain between the two groups (P>0.05). In the Harris hip scoring, only walking auxiliary score in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the X-ray change and comprehensive efficacy evaluation between the two groups (P>0.05). For patients with early osteonecrosis of the femoral head, core decompression with bone graft and tantalum rod or hydroxyapatitescaffold implantation have similar clinical efficacy.

Objective To study in targeted therapy of cancer drug endostar combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the treatment of newly diagnosed patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, and find an effective combined treatment mode of advanced non-small cell lung cancer, so as to improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer. Methods 18 patients with newly diagnosed advanced non- small cell lung cancer admitted to our hospital from July 2009 to February 2010 were randomly divided into 2 groups and treated with induction chemotherapy and 3D-CRT,9 cases in the experimental group (including Endostar), 9 cases in the control group, All of the patients'clinical symptoms, efficacy and toxicity in the two groups were observed. At the same time, nursing of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy was given to paients. Results The efficacy of the experimental group and the control group were 77.8% and 66.7%, the clinical remission rates of the experimental group and the control group showed no significant difference, both of the patients in the two groups had varying degrees of toxicity, but all of the them completed the treatment well under the holistic nursing and systematical health education by nurses. Conclusions Endostar combined with induction chemotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer can improve the efficacy and survival rate, and the quality of life, although there are some side effects, but can be alleviated by symptomatic treatment and care.

Objective To explore the radical surgery for tetralogy of Fallot combined with right pulmonary artery stenosis.Methods Thirteen cases with tetralogy of Fallot combined with right pulmonary artery stenosis accepted radical surgery,among them 7 cases who-had a long right pulmonary artery stenosis accepted aortic transaction for radical surgery of tetralogy of Fallot;5 cases who had the entrance stenosis of the right pulmonary artery accepted right pulmonary artery patch expansion for radical surgery of tetralogy of Fallot;One case who had the distortion and stenosis after pulmonary shunt accepted the radical surgery for tetralogy of Fallot after seperation and expansion.Results There were no operation-related deaths,post-operative low cardic output and perfusion lung occurred for all the cases.Ten cases had grade 1 cardiac function and 3 cases had grade 2,respectively.Conclusion Right pulmonary artery stenosis increased the risks during the radical surgery for tetralogy of Fallot,but it is still the primary operation choice.

Objective To improve the non?surgical N staging system for esophageal carcinoma ( EC) . Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 501 patients newly diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who received radiotherapy in our hospital from 2009 to 2013. The impacts of the supraclavicular lymph nodes and mediastinal lymph nodes on the overall survival ( OS) rate were analyzed. The original non?surgical N staging system was improved and the proposed N staging system was evaluated. The OS rates were calculated using the Kaplan?Meier method and analyzed using the log?rank test. The univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the log?rank test and Cox regression model, respectively. Results The 3?and 5?year sample sizes were 404 and 205, respectively. In all patients, the 1?, 3?, and 5?year OS rates were 64?9%, 26?5%, and 18?3%, respectively;the 1?, 3?, and 5?year distant metastasis?free ( DMF) rates were 86?2%, 68?9%, and 67?3%, respectively;the 1?, 3?, and 5?year local control rates were 72?7%, 53?1%, and 43?6%, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that the incidence, 3?year OS rate, and 3?year DMF rate of supraclavicular lymph node metastases in patients with cervical and upper?thoracic EC were significantly higher than those in patients with middle?thoracic and lower?thoracic EC ( 25?7% vs. 14?2%, P=0?034;24?2% vs. 11?5%, P=0?016;84?8% vs. 69?2%, P=0?007) . The multivariate analysis also showed that the number of metastatic lymph nodes was an independent prognostic factor for the OS and DMF rates in patients ( P= 0?000;P= 0?007 ) . Conclusions It is reasonable to classify upper?thoracic EC with supraclavicular lymph node metastasis into stage N1 diseases. The proposed N staging system with the factor of the number of metastatic lymph nodes is more scientific and objective than the original N staging system.

Objective To compare of clinical effect between radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy and investigate the prognostic factors in elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer.Methods 229 elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer who received radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy from January 2009 to December 2013 were retrospective analyzed.The Local control rate and survival rate were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method,and the short effect and long term effect between radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy were compared.Cox regression model was used for invariant analysis and multivariate analysis.Results The follow up time was 15.3months.The short effect of radiotherapy group was not better than that of chemoradiotherapy group,with CR 35.6％ vs 45.8％,RR 61.0％ vs 53.0％,SD 2.7％ vs 0 and PD 0.7％ vs 1.2％ (P=0.211).The 1-,2-,3-year local control rates of radiotherapy group were significantly poorer than that of chemoradiotherapy group,with 82.8 ％,60.5 ％ and 52.7％ vs 89.5％,85.4％ vs 80.9％,respectively (P=0.009).However,there were no significance difference between the 1-,2-,3-year survival rates of radiotherapy group and chemoradiotherapy group,with 66.4％,29.5％,17.1％ vs.65.9％,40.3 ％,30.8 ％,respectively (P =0.071).In invariant analysis,T stage,N stage,clinical stage and radiotherapy dose (＜ 60 Gy,60 ～66 Gy,＞66 Gy) were related with the prognosis of esophageal carcinoma.The COX regression model showed that T stage,N stage and radiotherapy dose were independent prognostic factors that effected survival rate.Conclusion In elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell cancer,chemoradiotherapy can improve the local control rates,but not benefit the survival rate.T stage,N stage and radiotherapy dose were independent prognostic factors that effected survival rate,which could provided evidence for prognosis judgement and clinical practice.

Objective To analyze the mortality in people aged 70 years and over who had undergone aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis.Methods The clinical data of 246consecutive cases aged 70 years and over,who had received AVR,were retrospectively analyzed.The 144 cases (58.5 % ) had hypertension,42 cases ( 17.1 %) had atrial fibrillation,27 cases ( 11.0 % )were obeses,and 18 cases (7.3%) had undergone previous heart surgery.Results The 29 cases (11.8%) were dead within 30 days after operation.Among them,15 cases (8.8%) were with isolated AVR and the other 14 cases (18.7%) were with an associate procedure,the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of postoperative complication was 24 .4%.The commoncomplications were:48 cases (19.5%) with low cardiac output,24 cases (9.8%) with renal dysfunction,52 cases (21.1% ) with prolonged ventilatory support and 12 cases (4.9%) with sepsis.In the Poisson regression analysis,the main predictors of mortality were low cardiac output,renal failure,sepsis and associate procedure.The main predictors of morbidity were CBP time ＞ 120 min,atrial fibrillation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Conclusions The balance between the benefits and risks of the surgery should be well evaluated before deciding to perform AVR.

Objective To identify the expression of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) subtypes, C-myc and His tag proteins of human umbilical vein endothelial fusion cell line, EA.hy926 and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), CRL-1730 for studying the function of apolipoprotein M (ApoM)-S1P axis. Methods Two kinds of cells (EA. hy926 and CRL-1730) were cultured to reach the density of 60%-70% in vitro. Immunofluorescence technique was em?ployed to investigate the expressions of coagulation factorⅧ(FⅧ), ApoM, S1PR1-S1PR5, C-myc and His tag proteins. Re?sults (1) Two kinds of cells both expressed FⅧand ApoM. FⅧpresented scattered particle distribution in CRL-1730, while uniform distribution in EA.hy926. However, ApoM was strongly expressed and widely distributed in cytoplasm of two kinds of cells. (2) S1PR1-3 can be detected on their membrane other than S1PR4 and S1PR5. S1PR1 was highly expressed but S1PR2 and S1PR3 were in a low level expression. (3) Two kinds of cells both expressed C-myc and His tag proteins in cytoplasm. Conclusion Two kinds of cells have the properties of endothelial cells and can express FⅧ, ApoM, C-myc and His tag proteins. It is not suitable for choosing C-myc and/or His tag–conjugated recombinant ApoM to study the fuction of ApoM-S1P axis with these two kinds of cells.

This article is aimed to present a design of a testing device for knee joint kinematics parameters of patients with strokes. We used Auto CAD to design the knee joint sensor device, and applied multifunction data acquisition card to collect sensor data. Then we transferred the data to the computer to quantitatively detect and analyze the joint angle, angular velocity and other parameters. The software system used Visual C+ + MFC frame and shared database Access, and used ADO technology to realize the collection between the software system and patient information system. After a preliminary test of 20 healthy subjects, the result showed that intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was more than 0.8, indicating a good reliability of the instrument.
