Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of minimally invasive external fixation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of the femur in high-risk patients. Methods By using a monolateral external fixator with oblique pin-insertion, we treated 77 consecutive elderly patients (mean age, 71.3) with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur associated with at least one kind of severe systemic diseases from June 1996 to June 2004. Fractures included 70 cases of anterograde intertrochanteric fracture (According to the Evans classification, there were 5 cases of type Ⅰ fracture, 11 cases of type Ⅱ, 34 type ⅢA, 9 type ⅢB, and 11 type Ⅳ.) and 7 cases of retrograde intertrochanteric fracture. A total of 8 patients were combined with multiple injuries. Results A follow-up was made for 5~60 months (mean, 24.3 months). Complete bone union was achieved in all the patients within a period of 8~20 weeks (mean, 12 weeks). Postoperatively, no non-union or coxa vara occurred. According to the Harris hip scores, 49 patients were classified as “excellent” results, 21 as “good”, and 7 as “poor” (all of which were fatal cases), the “excellent-and-good” rate being 91%. Conclusions Minimally invasive external fixation is an alternative to open internal fixation in the management of intertrochanteric fractures in high-risk elderly patients, especially suitable to those with multiple injuries.

Objective To evaluate the effects of smecta in prolonged hemorrhagic shock.Methods The modified Wigger's method was used to induce hemorrhagic shock in anesthetized rabbits.Twenty-nine rabbits were randomly divided into hemorrhagic shock group(n=14),smecta group(n=15),with smecta solution being administered via a gavage tube before shock.The plasma levels of endotoxin,tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF?),interleukin-6(IL-6) and nitric oxide(NO) were detected at pre-shock and post-shock,immediately after resuscitation and 2h after resuscitation.Blood culture was done at pre-shock,immediately after resuscitation,2h after resuscitation.The survival rates of 24h and 48h were observed.Results The plasma levels of endotoxin,TNF?,IL-6 and NO markedly increased after shock,and were maintained at high level in shock group (P

Objective To evaluate the effects of aminoguandine(AG) used as a selective inhibitor of the inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) and L NAME used as a non selective inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase(NOS) on severe hemorrhagic shock Methods Forty rabbits were bled to mean arterial pressure of 4 4 66 kPa via femoral artery Hypotention was maintained for 120 min, the shed blood was then returned, followed by an infusion with Ringer′s solutions Animals were randomly divided into three groups: hemorrhagic shock group (n=14), AG group (AG 20mg/kg was infused intravenously ,n=14), L NAME group (L NAME 30mg/kg was infused intravenously with ,n=12) Plasma levels of endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor(TNF?) and nitric oxide (NO) were determined before and after shock, immediately after resuscitation and 0 5h, 2h, 4h after resuscitation The 24h and 48h survival rates were recorded Lung, intestine, liver and kidney tissues were obtained 48 h after shock for microscopic examination Results The plasma endotoxin, TNF? and NO levels markedly increased and were kept at high levels after shock Lower plasma levels of endotoxin TNF? and NO, less tissue damages and high survival rates were observed in AG group as compared with those in L NAME group and shock group Conclusions The endotoxin,TNF? and NO play an important role in the development of irreversible shock AG is beneficial in the treatment of hemorrhagic shock, while L NAME does not improve the outcome of shock

Objective To explore the incidence rates of lower respiratory tract infections after general anes-thesia in the elderly orthopedics patients and to analyze the related risk factors.Methods A total of 45 patients with lower respiratory tract infections in 479 elderly orthope -dics patients who received general anesthesia were enrolled in the study.The bacterial identification and drug susceptibility testing were preformed after the collection of sputum specimens.The univariate factor analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the risk factors for the lower respiratory tract infections after general anesthesia,including the age,gender,smoking histo-ry,chronic respiratory diseases history,basic cardiovascular disease,diabetes,mental disease,and endotracheal tube type,anesthesia ventilation time,postoperative extubation time,and postoperative analgesia.Results Smoking history (Wald =5.058,OR =4.618),chronic respiratory diseases history(Wald =37.950,OR =20.507),mental disease (Wald =26.303,OR =75.644),endotrac heal tube type(Wald =9.035,OR =11.758),anesthesia(Wald =15.035, OR =20.163)and postoperative extubation time(Wald =14.243,OR =12.613)were identified as the risk factors for lower respiratory tract infections after general anesthesia in the elderly orthopedics patients (all P <0.05 ). Conclusion Risk factors should be intervened in elderly orthopedics patients who receive general anesthesia,and the antibiotics should be chosen on the basia of the drug susceptibility testing.

Objective To compare the effect of repairing large perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) with a new continuous stitching and two classical methods. Methods From January 2005 to January 2008,321 cases with VSD were operated. All the cases were divided into 3 groups according to operational way, with discontinuous stitching in group A (70 cases), continuous stitching in group B(116 cases),new continuous stitching in group C (135 cases). All the patients were total corrected with hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Results Group C had the shortest cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times [(48 ± 36) min and (26 ± 18) min]among the three groups (P < 0.05). Group C had not residual shunt and incidence rate was lowest among the three groups (P < 0.05). Temporary second degree auriculo-ventricular bolck (AVB) was found in the early stage and no third degree AVB among the three groups. Tricuspid regurgitation was higher in group A,but there was no significant difference between group B and group C. Follow-up was completed in a duration of 1-3 years and all the cases had a good health after discharged. Conclusions The new continuous stitching method has short eardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times. It has fewer residual shunt than other two classical methods and has no evidence of higher AVB occurrence.

A microscopic fluorescence spectrometric analysis ( MFSA) system was set in the laboratory. A novel method for in situ determination of Anthracene ( Ant) adsorbed onto root surface micro-zone of two kinks of mangrove plant, named Kandelia obovata ( K. obovata) and Avicennia marina ( A. marina) by MFSA was established. Fluorescence spectra of Ant adsorbed on root surface micro-zone were obtained by synchronous scanning mode. The signal to noise (S/N) of Ant (5. 3 pg/μm2) adsorbed on K. obovata and A. marina root surface micro-zone increased up to 5. 5 and 6. 8 while wavelength offset (△λ) both were at 60 nm, respectively. The linear dynamic ranges of established method were 5. 3-63. 2 pg/μm2 for K. obovata and 10. 5-52. 6 pg/μm2 for A. marina, with the detection limits of 1. 1 pg/μm2 and 5. 5 pg/μm2 , respectively. The relative standard deviations were both less than 12 . 5% ( n=9 ) , and the recoveries were 98 . 1% -117. 0% and 81. 2%-110. 9%, respectively. The result showed that the MFSA system had ability to obtain quantitative information of fluorescence spectra and fluorescence image of Ant adsorbed onto plant roots surface micro-zone.

Objective To study the risk factors associated with death of patients suffered from acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia (AE-IP) with very high mortality and very difficult to handle so as to find the most suitable treatment strategy for these patients.Methods The data of 26 patients with AE-IP admitted to Emergency Intensive Care Unit in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from September 2010 to September 2013 were restrospectively analyzed.Comparison of general condition of patients,treatment strategy and response to non-invasive ventilation of patients was made between survival group and death group.Results There was no significant difference in general condition of patients between death group and survival group.But compared with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF),connective tissue disease-related interstitial pneumonia had a tendency to accounting for higher proportion in the survival group.The rats of endotracheal intubation and invasive ventilation were significantly increased in death group (14％ vs.84％,P ＜ 0.05).There was significant improvement in PaO2/FiO2 after non-invasive ventilation for 2 hours in the survival group (176 ± i10 vs.218 ±64,P ＜0.05) while the death group had no significant improvement.Conclusions In patients with AE-IP,connective tissue disease associated interstitial pneumonia might have better outcome than IPF.AE-IP patients have a very high mortality rate once patients intubated,thus the decision of intubation in such patients needs to be very cautious.The patients with negligible improvement in PaO2/FiO2 after non-invasive ventilation for 2 hours may have a poor prognosis.

0.05).Results No side effect was recorded.100% of images were with excellent quality.Conclusion Patients with previous endovascular stent surgery can receive 1.5T high field MRI examination safely.Usually the examination can be performed in 4~8 weeks after the surgery,but in special case,earlier examination is also acceptable.

Objective To investigate the short-term clinical efficacy of radioactive125I seed implantation in the treatment of patients with thymoma recurrence. Methods Clinical data of patients with thymoma, who underwent radioactive125I seed implantation in Huadong Hospital of Fudan University during Sep. 2016 and Jun. 2017, were retrospectively collected. Inclusion criteria: local pleural recurrence lesions; intolerable to systemic chemotherapy or failure in previous chemotherapy; previously received high-dose chest radiotherapy; and normal coagulation function. All the patients were examined by computed tomography (CT), ultrasound and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) before operation. According to the Radiotherapy Planning System (TPS), the patients were inserted with the particle needles at the puncture point under the guidance of CT or ultrasound, and the distance between the sources was generally 0.5 cm. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were observed at 2 months after treatment. The patients were followed up for 3-9 months. Results A total of 13 patients underwent radioactive125I seed implantation, aged from 30 to 78 years, with 7 males and 6 females. The median number of implanted particles was 30, ranging from 20 to 58; the median dose of the particles was 1.9×107 Bq, and the range was (1.5-2.6)×107 Bq. The objective response rate was 100% (7 cases in complete remission and 6 in partial remission) after 2 months of follow-up, and all the 4 patients with chest wall pain were relieved. Pneumothorax occurred in 1 patient during particle implantation. During 3 to 9 months of follow-up, no patient developed disease progression at the site of particle implantation. Conclusion Radioactive125I seed implantation is a safe and effective method in the treatment of pleural recurrence of patients with thymoma, and can be used as a salvage therapy after the failure of traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but its long-term effect needs further observation.
