Objective To conduct a hiomechanical comparison of the four common internal fixation methods for the anterior eruciate ligament(ACL)avulsion fractures of displaced tibial eminence.Methods Sixteen fresh cadaver knee joints were used and randomized into four equal groups of four fixation methods:antegrade wiring group, retrograde wiring group,suturation group,and intramedullary screw group.The knee joint specimens were fixed at flexion of 30?and subject to continuous stretch stresses of 30 N,60 N and 90 N respectively on a material testing machine(MTS 858 Bionix test system,USA)which conducted a simulated Lachman test.The specimens were scanned at different angles by a three dimensional laser scanner.Data were recorded and processed by image software to es- tablish three-dimensional structure models of femur,tibia and knee joint.The test results were analyzed statistically on a computer.Results There were no obvious differences between each fixation group in the length change of ACL when the stresses were 30 N and 60 N(P>0.05).Under 90 N stress,however,the mean length change between the femoral and tibial attachments of ACL was the smallest(4.8?1.7)mm(2.5 to 6.2 mm)in the suturation group(P<0.05). There were no distinct differences between the intramedullary screw group and the retrograde wiring group in the changes of A CL shift(P=0.214).The average front shift in the retrograde wiring group was(6.2?1.2)mm(4.8 to 8.2 mm) and significantly smaller than that in the antegrade wiring group(P<0.05).The antegrade wiring group made the largest average front shift under different stresses and its average front shift was(7.2?1.3)mm(5.6 to 8.7 mm). Conclusions The knee joint stability provided by the suturation fixation is distinctly better than that by the other three fixation methods.The antegrade wire fixation provides the poorest knee joint stability.There is hardly any difference between intramedullary screw fixation and retrograde wiring fixation.

Objective To investigate the role of survivin and P53 in apoptosis of gastric adeno- carcinoma,as well as its relationship with the clinicopathologic features and the prognosis.Methods The gas- tric tissue microarrays were composed of those from 100 cases of gastric cancer and 30 controls.At these tissue microarrays,expressions of survivin and P53 were investigated immunohistochemically,and tumor cell apoptosis index was examined by TUNEL method.Of the 100 cases,47 cases were followed-up from 14 months to 13 years,in which the survival was analyzed.Results Two paraffin-embedded gastric carcinoma tissue micro- arrays were successfully constructed,including 114 and 116 tissue spots,respectively.Immunohistochemical analysis showed that survivin was expressed in 78 cases (78%).No expression of survivin was detected in control tissue (P0.05).In the 47 cases with followed-up data,univariant analysis revealed that the survival was correlated with invading of vessel and nerve,TNM stages,and expression of survivin.The histological grades and expression of P53 were not related to prognosis.However,Cox stepwise proportional hazards analysis showed that only TNM staging and survivin status retained significant independently in prospecting prognosis.Conclusions The expression of survivin was associated with the pathologic features,TNM stages and prognosis in gastric carcinoma,indicating that overex- pression of survivin may be a poor prognosis factor for gastric carcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo explore mid-term follow up results of distal fixation prosthesis in treating unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients.
METHODSFrom May 2008 to March 2014,58 elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric were treated with distal fixation prosthesis, among them, there were 15 males and 43 females aged from 75 to 87 years old with an average of 83.2 years old. Fracture were classified according to Evans classification, 39 cases were type I c and 19 cases were type I d. Surgical risk was evaluated before operation, 9 patients were performed total hip arthroplasty and 49 patients were performed prosthetic replacement hip joint function of patients with different age period, Evans classificaton, prothesis type, fixation method were evaluated respectively by using Harris score.
RESULTSFifty-six patients were followed up from 13 to 36 months with an average of 21.6 months. Harris score was 83.51 ± 6.40, 5 cases got excellent results, 38 cases good and 13 cases moderate. Harris score of patients aged from 75 to 80 years old was 88.64 ± 2.35, 81.64 ± 6.40 in patients aged more than 80 years old, and had significant differences between two groups; Harris score in patients with type Evans I c was 83.64 ± 6.53, and 83.11 ± 6.08 in type Evans I d, while there was no significant differences between two groups. There was no obvious meaning in Harris score between patients with tension band (83.63 ± 6.15) and without tension band (82.41 ± 6.57). There was no significant meaning in Harris score between patients with normal distal fixation prosthesis (83.34 ± 6.43) and femoral moment reconstruction distal fixation prosthesis (83.92 ± 6.51). There was 1 patient occurred hip joint dislocation on the operative side and re-dislocation after manual reduction, then received open reduction. Two patients occurred femoral osteolysis without clinical symptoms, and treated conservative treatment.
CONCLUSIONArtificial joint replacement for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients, hip joint function in patients aged more than 80 years old is worse, while there was no obvious market effect in fracture classification, whether to use tension band and type of distal fixation prosthesis, moreover, proximal femoral osteolysis should be focused on.
