Objectve The purpose of the study was to evaluate the surgical treatment method and outcomes of capitellar fractures. Methods From December 2004 to December 2006, sixteen patients with a capitellar fracture were included in the study. There were eight males and eight females. According to Bryan and Morrey classification, there were eight type Ⅰ fractures, one type Ⅲ fracture and seven type Ⅳ fractures. In three of type Ⅳ, a separate trochlear fracture fragment with impaction was seen. Distal lateral column posteroinferior metaphyseal comminutiou and/or impaction was observed in association with three fractures including two type Ⅳ fractures and one type Ⅲ fracture. One Mason type Ⅰ radial head fracture occurred in association with an ipsilateral type Ⅳ capiteilum fracture. The patients ranged from sixteen to sixty-five years old, with an average age of 44.9 years. An extensile lateral exposure and articular fixation with cannu-lated compression screws were performed within five days of injury. Clinical, radiographic, and functional el-bow index rating scale of Broberg-Money were evaluated retrospectively. Results The follow-up time ranged from 24 to 36 months,with the mean of 29 months. All fractures healed at an average of 7.9 (range, 6 to 11) weeks without radiographic evidence of osteonecrosis of the fracture fragment. Average arc of motion was 125.8°±16.8° in flexion-extension and 163.1°±10.62° in pronation-supination. The mean Broberg-Mor-rey was 92.0 points, with eight excellent results, seven good results, and one poor result. There were one pa-tient with a minimum of grade 1 radio-capitellar arthrosis.Fifteen of the sixteen adults were able to continue their former professional activities. The patient had persistent postoperative stiffness with a flexion contrac-ture at the last postoperative visit. Conclusion Prompt treatment with anatomic reduction and internal fixa-tion with lag screws followed by early rehabilitation can lead to functional arc and satisfactory outcome.

AIM: To investigate pharmacokinetics of salvia miltiorrhiza injection in rats. METHODS: A dose of salvia miltiorrhiza injection (standardized as Dhpl 40 mg?kg -1 , iv) was given in rats and plasma Dhpl concentrations were determined by a HPLC method. The 3p87 software was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters of Dhpl. RESULTS: The main parameters were as follows: T 1/2? = 0.29 ? 0.23 h, T 1/2? = 1.75 ? 0.99 h, V d= 0.83 ? 0.70 L?kg -1 , Cl= 0.33 ? 0.16 L?h -1 ?kg -1 , and AUC (0-inf) =149?66 mg?h?L -1 . CONCLUSION: Data of the blood concentration time of salvia miltiorrhiza injection can be fitted to a two compartment open model.

Objective To observe the relationship between cerebral border zone infarction and cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion.Methods 45 patients admitted to our hospital in 2002 were studied retrospectively.They were diagnosied as acute cerebral border zone infarction and classified into anterior border infartion,posterior border infartion and internal border infartion by diffusion weighted MR imaging(DWI). The stenosis or occlusion of cerebral arteries was evaluated by magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) or transcranial doppler(TCD) examinations.Results Cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion was founded in 32 patients(71.1%).The lesions were most located in middle cerebral artery(47.6%),next in internal carotid artery(31%), relatively seldom in anterior cerebral artery and posterior cerebral artery(11.9%). No difference of artery abnormity was found between the patients with single border infarction and the patients with mutiple border infarction.But middle cerebral artery stenosis was more frequently seen in the patients with internal border infartion( P

Objective:To explore changes of electrocardiogram (ECG)and cardiac markers,and its relationship with prognosis in aged patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods:The data of 356 aged patients with acute cerebral infarction (acute cerebral infarction group),who hospitalized in our hospital from May 2007 to May 2012,and 258 non-cerebral infarction patients (normal control group)were retrospectively analyzed.Changes of ECG and cardiac markers were compared between two groups,and patients with cerebral infarction received a six-month follow-up. Results:Compared with normal control group,there were significant rise in percentage of abnormal ECG (22.9%vs.73.3%,χ2=150.53,P=0.00),levels of cardiac troponin I [cTnI,(0.02±0.003)μg/L vs.(0.07±0.002)μg/L],creatinine kinase isoenzyme [(9.1±5.6)U/L vs.(24.2±4.1)U/L]and creatinine kinase [(98±9.8)U/L vs.(202.7±10.2)U/L]in acute cerebral infarction group,P<0.05 all;the older these patients were,the high-er abnormal ECG rate was (60~75 years vs.>75 years:37.0% vs.83.8%,χ2=80.54,P=0.00);After six-month follow up,compared with normal group,there was significant increase in mortality rate (19.5% vs.86.8%,χ2=95.09,P=0.00)in acute cerebral infarction group.Conclusion:Incidence rate of abnormal ECG and cardiac marker level are higher in aged patients with acute cerebral infarction.It possesses important significance for judging patient′s condition,guiding treatment and evaluating prognosis.

Objective To examine and evaluate the ability of spontaneous regeneration following various extent of incomplete injury in adult rats. Methods The quantities and reduplicated various extent incomplete injured model of adult rats optic nerve was established using different wounding time with constant wounding force produced by across action forceps at 2mm behind eyeball. GAP-43 (growth associated protein-43) and its mRNA expressions were detected with immunohistochemistry (IHC) and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). All data were analyzed by ANOVA. Results GAP-43 and its mRNA expression levels revealed that there was negative response at the distal area contrast to the strong positive response at the proximal in earlier period after injury until half mouth. One mouth later, the increased GAP-43 and its mRNA expression levels became more and more high and reached the climax at second month post injury. Then it decreased gradually. The result of RT-PCR showed there are significant difference among the various extent incomplete injured models and different time after injury. Conclusion Spontaneous regeneration of adult rat’s optic nerve can be detected and identified following incomplete injury, and the extent of regenerating ability is correlated with the extent of injury.

Gefitinib and erlotinib play important roles, which as the representative of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).However, preclinical and clinical studies find that many patients exist primary or acquired drug resistance to this drug, which limits the use of molecular targeted therapy drugs.At present, there are many studies focus on delaying or reversing drug resistance and developing new targets, which provide more potential for the molecular targeted therapy of NSCIC.

AIM: To investigate the effects and quantitative relations of co-administering probenecid OF different dosages on pharmacokinetics of cefaclor in rabbits and approach the possible mechanisms involved as well. METHODS: Monitor plasma and urine cefaclor concentrations. 24 male rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups by Cefaclor 50 mg·kg-1,Cefaclor50 mg·kg-1+Probenecid 100 mg·kg-1,Cefaclor 50 mg·kg-1+Probenecid 250 mg·kg-1 and Cefaclor 50 mg·kg-1+Probenecid 625 mg·kg-1.Blood and urine samples were collected according to the regular time schedule after intragastric administration. The concentration of cefaclor in blood and urine were determined by HPLC. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS (Drug and Statistical) software. Measur plasma protein-binding rate of cefaclor. The experimental groups and drug dosage were same as described above. The blood sample was drawn at 1 hour after administration,and the protein-binding rate of cefaclor was determined by equilibrium dialysis. RESULTS: Within the dosages of probenecid ranged from 0-250 mg·kg-1,T1/2ka,Tmax,Cmax and AUC of cefaclor increased in accordance with increasing dosage of co-administering probenecid while CL/F and Vd/F were decreased(P＜0.01); However,when the dosage of co-administering probenecid was 625 mg·kg-1,Cmax of cefaclor strikingly decreased(P＜0.01),while AUC and CL/F maintained at the levels of those with probenecid250 mg·kg-1.In this experiment, urinary excretive peak time of cefaclor in its prototype pos tponed gradually,biological half life prolonged and urinary excretive accumulation percentage decreased obviously(P＜0.01).To the dosages of probenecid ranging from 0-250 mg·kg-1,protein-binding rate of cefaclor decreased notably(P＜0.01)going with increasing dosages of co-administration probenecid; While the dosage of co-administration probenecid reached 625 mg·kg-1,the protein-binding rate of cefaclor corresponded to that of cefaclor 50 mg·kg-1 without probenecid (P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: Co-administering probenecid can strikingly change pharmacokinetics of cefaclor and the influential degree of pharmacokinetics parameters is dependent on dosages of probenecid used in the experiment. Biological half life prolongs and urinary excretive accumulation percentage of cefaclor decreases obviously.

Due to lack of the practical technique to measure the biomechanical properties of the ocular cornea in vivo, clinical ophthalmologists have some difficulties in understanding the deformation mechanism of the cornea under the action of physiological intraocular pressures. Using Young's theory analysis of the corneal deformation during applanation tonometry, the relation between the elasticity moduli of the cornea and the applanated corneal area and the measured and true intraocular pressures can be obtained. A new applanation technique has been developed for measuring the biomechanical properties of the ocular cornea tissue in vivo, which can simultaneously acquire the data of the applanation area and displacement of the corneal deformation as well as the exerted applanation force on the cornea. Experimental results on a rabbit's eyeball demonstrated that the present technique could be used to measure the elasticity moduli and creep properties of the ocular cornea nondestructively in vivo.
