Journal of Regional Anatomy and Operative Surgery 2016;25(5):361-363
Objective To analyze the postoperative complications and long-term curative effect analysis of elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures by locking proximal humerus plate,and provide reference for such patients’clinical treatment.Methods A total of 92 elder patients with proximal humerus fractures in our hospital from September 2012 to September 2014 were included in the research.They were divided into control group (who were treated with anatomical bone plates)and observation group (who were treated with locking plates),according to different sugrical methods.The postoperative complications situation and long-term curative effect analysis of two groups were compared.Results The proportions of humerus head varus malunion and humerus head necrosis of observation group were less than those of control group,with statistically significant difference(P <0.05).And after six months of follow-up,the excellent rate of observation group were 89.1%,significantly more than control group 67.4%,with statistically significant difference(P <0.05).Conclusion The loc-king plate used in elderly patients with proximal humerus fractures can effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications,and it has excellent long-term curative effect.

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of calcium antagonists on anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) injury of cardiomyocytes. METHODS: Primary-cultured cardiomyocytes were divided into four groups, namely A/R, A/R+nifedipine(Nif), A/R+ruthenium red(Ru)+heparin (Hep) and control groups. The following parameters were measured in all groups: intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca 2+ ]i), cardiac cell viability, ATP content, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the medium, PKC and MAPK activity and -Leucine(-Leu) incorporation. RESULTS: In comparison with A/R group, A/R+nifedipine(Nif) and A/R+ruthenium red(Ru)+heparin (Hep) groups showed a marked decrease in [Ca 2+ ]i and LDH content, and a significant increase in cell viability ,ATP content, activity of PKC and MAPK and -Leu incorporation(P

Objective To investigate the value of detecting HEART score and HEARTS3 score in risk stratification and prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with non-ST segment elevation chest pain in emergency department (ED).Methods Clinical data of case-control retrospective study of 775 patients with non-ST segment elevation chest pain in ED were collected from July 2011 to March 2015.The patients were estimated and risk stratification was made with HEART score and HEARTS3 score.After follow-up visiting by telephone for 30 days,outcomes were found to be ACS and myocardial infarction (MI).And the patients were categorized with score into low,intermediate and high risk groups.The correlation between the ACS and risk score in three groups was analyzed.Comparison of capability of performance in predicting 30-day ACS between the HEART score and HEARTS3 risk score.Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS13.0.Enumeration variables were expressed as percentage.For comparison of predictive value of the two sets of scores,area under the receiver operating curve (auROC) was calculated and compared by Z test.Results There were 92 cases with 30-day ACS.The rate of ACS had a trend of increase with increase in HEART score and HEARTS3 score.The patients with higher scores of HEART and HEARTS3,higher incidence of ACS in 30 days.Especially,the high-risk patients with score≥7 of HEART score and≥8 of HEARTS3 score had higher rate of ACS.And there was significant difference in predicting high-risk patients between two sets of scoring (P < 0.05).The HEARTS3 score outperformed the HEART score as determined by comparison of areas under the ROC curve for MI (0.952 vs 0.813;P =0.028),30-day ACS (0.913 vs.0.815;P =0.034).Conclusions HEART score and HEARTS3 score both can be used to evaluate and perform risk stratification for non-ST segment elevation chest pain patients in ED.But HEARTS3 score can more precisely stratify high-risk patients with chest pain for 30-day ACS.
