OBJECTIVETo investigate the applications of percutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures and its related surgical considerations.

METHODSFrom June 2010 to June 2012,19 patients with pelvic fractures were treated with percutaneous hollow screws. There were 13 males and 6 females, with an average age of 41 years (ranged from 22 to 58 years). Fractures were caused by traffic accidents in 11 cases, by falling down from high place in 8 cases. Based on the Tile classification, there were 15 cases of Tile C type and 4 case of Tile B type. The indexes such as screw inserting time, intraoperative blood loss, complications, functional recovery and reduction conditions were observed. Fixation methods included sacroiliac screws, cannulated screw fixation of the pubic ramus and cannulated screw fixation of the pubic symphysis separation.

RESULTSAnatomical reduction achieved in 7 cases, satisfactory reduction 11 cases, and unsatisfactory reduction 1 case. Union time of fracture union ranged from 8 to 12 weeks (mean 10 weeks). Wound infection,ununion of fracture and nerve injuries were not found. According to the Majeed standards, 12 patients obtained an excellent results, 6 good and 1 fair.

CONCLUSIONPercutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures under fluoroscopy has several advantages such as less trauma, less blood loss, fewer rates of complications, reliable fixation and no blood transfusion, which can reconstruct the stability of the pelvic ring, but it needs adequate preoperative preparation and high requirements for the surgeon.

Objective To investigate the effect of all-in-one nursing intervention on esophageal carcinoma patients with bad emotion and immune function. Methods From the October, 2012 to the October, 2013, 102 patients with radical operation of esophageal carcinoma were divided into all-in-one nursing intervention group (research group, 52cases) and routine nursing group (control group, 50 cases) according to the random number table method.Two groups of patients were evaluated before and after operation of anxiety and depression emotion scores, with the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) .At the same time, two groups of patients were detected the stress and immune index before and after the operation. Results Before operation, two groups of patients with anxiety, depression, stress reaction and immune index were not significantly different (P>0.05).After operation, the study group patients with anxiety and depression scores were significantly lower than those in the control group [(34.6+6.7) points vs. (44.8+7.5) points, (33.7+6.9) points vs. (40.6+7.3) points], the difference was statistically significant (t values were 7.234, 4.902, P<0.05). Eighth days after operation, patients in the control group FBG, CRP and Cor levels were significantly higher in the study group [(6.98±1.12)mmol/L vs.(6.09±0.85)mmol/L,(18.11±5.93) mg/L vs.(9.24±3.22)mg/L,(293.98±69.09)nmol/L vs.(221.97±67.94)nmol/L],the difference was statistically significant (t values were 4.532, 9.336, 5.307, P<0.05). Eighth days after operation, two groups of patients with IgA, IgM were higher than first days after operation [(2.41±0.46)g/L vs.(1.89±0.56)g/L,(2.51±0.58) g/L vs.(1.35±0.67)g/L and (2.36±0.53)g/L vs.(1.82±0.46)g/L, (2.34±0.62)g/L vs. (1.37±0.64) g/L], the difference was statistically significant (t values were 5.174, 9.439, 5.549, 7.850, P<0.05).The total number of patients blood lymphocytes (LYM) and cytokines (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8) were significantly higher than the control group [(2.87±0.65)×109/L vs.(1.98±0.58)×109/L, 0.62±0.10 vs. 0.57±0.07, 0.41±0.08 vs. 0.35 ±0.08, 0.24 ±0.04 vs. 0.26 ±0.05, 2.06 ±0.44 vs. 1.65 ±0.46], the difference was statistically significant (t values were 7.286, 2.915, 6.942, 2.225, 4.601, P<0.05). Conclusion All-in-one nursing intervention can significantly improve the anxiety and depression in patients with esophageal cancer in bad mood, enhance the immune function of patients, conducive to the rehabilitation of patients.

Objective To investigate the value of 99Tcm-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) scintigraphy in assessing the preoperative chemotherapy response and multidrug resistance of osteosarcoma.Methods From January 2007 to October 2008, 12 patients (female:4, male:8; mean age:16.3 years,range:8-27 years) underwent early (10min) and delayed (120 min) 99Tcm-MIBI scintigraphy before and after preoperative chemotherapy.Seven cases had osteosarcoma at the distal femurs, 2 at the proximal tibias, 2 at the upper end of humerus and 1 at the fibula.The tumor-to-background ratio (T/B) and washout rate (WR) were calculated.Tumor necrosis was classified according to Huvos criterion after limb salvage surgery.Immunohistochemical staining for P-glycoprotein(gp) was examined.Spearman correlation analysis and t-test were performed.Results According to Huvos criterion, 7 patients were classified as good responders with more than 90% of tumor cell necrosis and 5 as poor responders with less than 90% of tumor cell necrosis.R value (ratio of early phase T/B after and before chemotherapy) was significantly lower in good responders than that in poor responders (0.473 ± 0.21 vs 0.998 ± 0.06, t= 5.342, P= 0.000 ).R value was significantly correlated with the degree of tumor cell necrosis ( rs=- 0.87, P= 0.000 ).WR was significantly higher in patients with positive P-gp expression than that in patients with negative P-gp expression ((38.36 ±18.64)% vs (6.40±5.87)%, t= -3.278, P=0.008).There was significant correlation between the WR and P-gp expression (rs = 0.91, P= 0.001 ).Conclusion 99Tcm-MIBI scintigraphy is a feasible non-invasive technique to assess the chemotherapy response and to detect P-gp expression of osteosarcoma.

This study deals with colony expansion characteristics, biomass increment and Na accumulation in mycelia of three ectomycorrhizal fungi ( Boletus edulis, Xerocomus chrysenteron and Gomphidius viscidus ) under treatment of Na2SO4 and NaCl. The experimental results showed that no impact was observed from Na2SO4 and NaCl treatments on the growth mode of the mycelia, but the biomass increment of X. chrysenteron and G. viscidus was significantly restrained under 0.1 mol/L Nacl. Under the treatment of Na2SO4, biomass increment of X. chrysenteron is significantly higher than the control, but the biomass of G. viscidus is lower than that of the control, and no significant impact was measured on growth of B. edulis under both treatments of Na2 SO4 and NaCl. The experiment also indicated that Na accumulation in mycelia varied significantly among the three tested strains, highest Na accumulation was measured in X. chrysenteron under treatment of NaCl, while under the treatment of Na2SO4 , accumulation of Na in B. edulis is much higher than the other two strains.

Objective To investigate the roles of TrkA and TrkB in radiation-induced hippocampal neurogenesis impairment.Methods Fifty-six rats were randomized into radiation group and sham control group.Radiation group received whole brain irradiation at a single dose of 10 Gy.The hippocampus were separated from rats in day 1,day 3,day 14 and 1 month after irradiation.Western blot and RT-PCR were applied to detect the protein levels and mRNA levels.Golgi staining was used to observe the dendritic spine of hippocampus.Immunofluorescence was performed to detect neural precursor's proliferation.Results Compared with control group,the numbers of dendritic spine significantly decreased after irradiation and its shape change obviously.Immunofluorescence showed a significant decrease in neural precursor's proliferation comparing with control group (t =6.49,P ＜ 0.05).Protein level of TrkA expression increased (t =2.64,3.06,4.80,2.64,P ＜ 0.05),while the levels of TrkB protein expression decreased significantly (t =4.59,3.06,2.81,2.57,P ＜ 0.05).The mRNA level of TrkA expressions increased (t =4.57,3.06,5.39,5.86,P ＜ 0.05),while the mRNA level of TrkB decreased (t =14.87,11.69,4.98,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions As a signaling pathways downstream of NGF and BDNF,TrkA and TrkB may play an important role in radiation-induced neurogenesis impairment.

Objective To explore the predictive value of brain lobe location of stroke lesion to development of long-term post-stroke depression(PSD)in the first-episode ischemic stroke patients for providing evidence for early intervention.Methods In the prospective study,158 patients aged 60 and over with first-episode ischemic stroke were continuously admitted into Department of Neurology of Shangqiu First People's Hospital from January 2013 to July 2013.The 2 to 3 years follow-up after stroke episode was performed in 126 cases for inquiring into correlation between brain lobe location of stroke lesion and development of PSD.The diagnosis of depression was in accordance with Mental Disorders Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 4(DSM-Ⅳ)standard,and divided into groups of stroke with depression(n=52)and stroke without depression(n=74).The degree of depression was evaluated by 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HAMD17).The location,number and volume of stroke lesions were determined by head MRI.The relationship between PSD and pathogenetic loci was analyzed by unconditional Logistic regression analysis.A difference in hemisphere commensalism.Results The morbidity of PSD was 41.3%(52/126),with 21.4%(27/126),12.7%(16/126),7.1%(9/126)in mild,moderate and severe PSD respectively.The frontal lobe(OR=2.824,95%CI=1.189-6.706)and the temporal lobe(OR=3.579,95%CI=1.233-10.393)cerebral infarction were correlated with the occurrence of PSD.The long-term PSD severity was more in frontal lobe than in temporal lobe(χ2=6.399,P<0.05).The average volume of cerebral infarction was larger in PSD group than in non-PSD group(t=3.271,P<0.05),and the average number of cerebral infarction loci was more in PSD group than in non-PSD group(t=3.176,P<0.05).The more severe the degree of depression according to HAMD17,the larger the average volume of cerebral infarction(F=6.280,P<0.05)and the more the average number of lesions(F=6.132,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of long-term PSD in the first-episode elderly patients is affected by the invasion site.The frontal lobe and temporal lobe infarction are independent risk factors for long-term PSD in patients with ischemic stroke,and the PSD was more severe in frontal lobe infarction than in temporal lobe infarction.
