One hundred and sixteen patients with lower limb fracture were screened by Doppler ultrasound for deep vein thrombosis(DVT) of bilateral lower extremities within the first 72 h, d7 and d21 after fracture. Results showed that DVT was detected in 31 (26. 7% ) out of 116 cases within 72 h; at d7 and d21 DVT was detected in 3 and 1 patient respectively with a cumulated DVT rate of 30. 2% in 3 weeks.Serial Doppler ultrasonography is of value in screening for DVT of the lower extremities in patients with lower limb fracture at early stage.

ObjectiveThe purpose of the present study was to discuss the method to avoid spillage by means of adding chemotherapeutic drugs into sealed transfusion bottles.Methods90 penicillin sealed bottles of the same batch number were randomly divided into the test group and the control group,each with 45 bottles.Standard method according to Basic Nursing was used to add chemotherapeutic drugs into transfusion bottles in the control group.Drugs were added into transfusion bottles under negative pressure in the test group.The operating time was measured,the spillage volume of puncture site was calculated and microbial detection of syringe was observed in the two groups.ResultsThere was a significant difference in the spillage volume of puncture site between the two groups (P<0.01),but no difference was seen in the operating time and microbial detection of syringe (P>0.05),ConclusionsThe spillage volume of puncture site was reduced significantly by means of adding chemotherapeutic drugs into transfusion bottles under negative pressure.This can decrease chemotherapeutic professional exposing risks and drug wastage.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the absorption mechanism of genistein self-microemulsifying system in rat intestines.
METHODThe concentrations of phenol red and genistein by in situ perfusion in rats were determined by UV and HPLC, respectively. The effects of drug concentrations, pH, various intestinal segments and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor verapamil on the absorption had been studied.
RESULTThe absorption rate constant (Ka) of genistein had no significant difference at concentrations of 0.05-0.5 mg x mL(-1) and pH of 5.4-7.8 in perfusion. It was Ka of jejunum > ileum > duodenum > colon. The absorption of genistein in jejunum had significant difference (P < 0.05) compared with other parts of intestines. Ka was increased obviously when verapamil was coper-fused with genistein (P < 0. 05).
CONCLUSIONThe absorption of genistein self-microemulsifying system is a first order process with passive diffusion mechanism related to P-gp efflux. It can be absorbed at all segments of rat intestine, and the jejunum is the best absorption segment, pH had no special effect on the absorption of genistein self-microemulsifying system in rat intestine.

Objective This study was to compare surgical safety and oncologic adequacy of laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy (LAG) versus open gastrectomy (OG) for advanced gastric cancer.Methods 120 consecutive AGC patients undergoing LAG with D2 lymph node dissection between September 2005 to December 2009 were compared with 120 AGC patients undergoing OG during the same period.In each group,50 underwent distal gastrectomy,70 for total gastrectomy.Results There was no conversion to open surgery in LAG.The operative time was significantly longer in LAG than OG [(307 ± 84) min vs.(203 ± 52) min,t'=11.556,P < 0.01].The estimated blood loss was significantly less in LAG group than OG group [(258 ± 78) ml vs.(318 ± 89) ml,t =5.550,P < 0.01].The number of lymph nodes retrieved was(17 ±11) in LAG,(16 ±10)in OG (t =0.723,P>0.05).All margins were tumor free in both groups.9 patients had the postoperative complication in LAG,8 patients in OG (P > 0.05).Length of postoperative stay was significantly shorter in LAG than OG [(10.6 + 4.7) vs.(14.3 ± 2.9) days,t' =7.339,P <0.01].There was no mortality in both groups.The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate were comparable (47.6% in LAG vs.42.8% in OG,x2 =0.577,P > 0.05) between the two groups.Conclusions This study suggested that laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy is safe and feasible in terms of surgical outcome and oncologic adequacy for advanced gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the relationship between cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by investigating their electrophysiological characteristics and the incidence of CSR root injury and root injury complicating with CTS.Methods One hundred and twenty-four cases of CSR diagnosed in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from September 2013 to February 2014 by electromyography (EMG) were recruited.According to the results of EMG,patients were divided into root injury and root injury complicating with CTS groups.The distal motor latency (DML),motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV),sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV),sensory nerve action potential (SNAP),compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and spontaneous potential (SP) were compared between the two groups.Results There were 81 (65.3%) cases with root injury,11 cases with double sides injury and 29 cases with normal EMG among these 124 patients.The CMAP,DML,MCV,SCV and SNAP were normal in 76 cases,CMAP lowered 5%-12% in 3 cases,DML extended 3% and 9% in 2 cases.There were 14 cases (11.3%) with concomitant CTS (female 10 cases and male 4 cases,double sides CTS 10 cases).Among the 14 cases with concomitant CTS,there were 9 cases with simply sensory nerve conduction abnormality,SCV slowing down 26%-47%,SNAP reducing 58%-86% or normal,while other 5 cases with motor conduction abnormality as well as sensory nerve conduction abnormality,CMAP reducing 21%-78%,DML extending 27%-39% in 3 cases,MCV slowing down 32% and 40% in 2 cases.Five cases had spontaneous electricity position movement in the abductor pollicis brevis.The incidence of root injury complicating with CTS in C6 (27.4%,9/33),C7 (26.9%,7/26) and C8 (5/7) showed statistically significant difference (x2 =5.96,P < 0.01).Conclusions There is a high incidence of root injury and CTS in CSR patients,indicating a possible double crush between CSR and CTS.

Objective To investigate the change of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in the skin of diabetic rats, and to explore the potential role of MMP-9/TIMP-1. Methods Diabetic rats were induced with streptozotocin (STZ). Then all rats were maintained for 6 weeks. Routine pathological examination and immnnohistochemistry were made to reveal the histological and cytological appearances. RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of mRNA and protein of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the skin. Results Six weeks after STZ treatment, examination of HE-stained skin sections from normal and diabetic animals revealed that the epidermis and dermis layers were thinner in diabetic rats than those in control rats. The skin of diabetic rats showed features of atrophy such as disorganization of connective tissue fiber bundles and enlarged space between collagen fiber bundles. In contrast, thick bundles of connective tissue were observed in the dermis of normal rat skin. In normal skin, cells had a bipolar, spindle-shaped appearance in the thick collagen bundles, while in the skin of diabetic animals the interstitial cells had a rounded, shrunken and crenated appearance. The relative values of expression of MMP-9 in diabetic group were higher than those in normal group with significant difference, however, the relative values of expression of TIMP-I in diabetic group were lower than those in control group. Conclusion The changes in cutaneous histology and cytology appear earlier than skin wound. These "underlying disorders" may be associated with the imbalance of MMP-9/TIMP-1.
