OBJECTIVETo invesitigate the clinical effects of percutaneous closed reduction and cannulated screw internal fixation combined with external fixation in the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures.

METHODSFrom April 2006 to May 2009,29 patients with pelvic fractures of rotatory instability were treated with closed reduction and screw internal fixation combined with external fixation. There were 19 males and 10 females with an average age of 31 years old (ranged from 19 to 53 years). Based on the Tile classification,17 cases were type CI and 12 case were type C2. Tornetta standard and Majeed score were used to evaluated the clinical effect after operation.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 10 to 24 months with an average of 16 months. There were no nerve injuries and other organ injuries, only one case of infection was found and it was cured with wound dressing. Time of fracture union was from 14 to 18 weeks with the mean of 16.2 weeks. No loosening, slippage or breakage of the screw were found. According to the Tornetta standards,14 cases obtained excellent results, 10 good, 4 fair and 1 poor. The Majeed score was 87.2 ± 11.3, 16 cases got excellent results, 9 good and 4 fair.

CONCLUSIONClosed reduction and screw internal fixation combined with external fixation is an effective way to treat unstable pelvic fractures with Tile type C1 and Tile type C2.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum uric acid level and body fat depots as well as the possible influencing factors of the relationship in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods Five hundred and thirty two patients hospitalized for type 2 diabetes were recruited in this study.According to serum uric acid,the subjects were classified into normal uric acid group (group NUA,n =426) and high uric acid group ( group HUA,n =106 ).Anthropometry ( BMI,waist circumference,hip circumference and WHR),serum uric acid level,blood glucose,renal function and lipid levels were compared between the two groups.Results Serum uric acid level was closely related to body fat distribution:(1) in group HUA,WHR,BMI,BUN,SCr and TG were significantly higher than that of group NUA ( [ 0.94 ± 0.07 ] vs.[ 0.91 ± 0.07 ],[ 26.91 ± 3.90 ]kg/m2 vs.[23.84 ±3.80] kg/m2,[8.66 ±5.94] mmol/L vs.[6.29 ±3.64] mmol/L,[93.9 ± 67.6 ] μmol/Lvs.[63.9 ± 20.6 ] μmol/L,[ 2.65 ± 1.92 ] mmol/L vs.[ 1.86 ± 1.46 ] mmol/L,respectively; all P ＜ 0.05 ] ;while HDL-C was lower in Group HUA than in group NUA ( [ 1.09 ± 0.32 ] mmol/L vs.[ 1.24 ± 0.45 ] mmol/L,P ＜0.05).(2) Multiple regression analysis revealed that the serum uric acid levels were positively correlated with BMI,SCr,and TG ( b =0.201,0.500,0.153,respectively,P ＜ 0.05 ),but negatively correlated with HbA(1)c and HDL-C ( b =- 0.168 and - 0.121,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion In patients with type 2 diabetes,serum uric acid levels are closely related with the BMI and Glucose/lipid metabolism,which suggests that body weight control is as important as the uric acid lowering treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes to cut the risks of cardiac and vascular diseases.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and extent of mononuclear ceils DNA damage in peripheral blood of mice fed with low dose T-2 toxin and Deoxynivalenol(DON) alone or in combination and to explore the long-term toxicity of the toxin at sub-clinical dose. Methods Eighty female Balb/c mice weighing (14.0 ± 1.5)g 3 weeks after birth were divided randomly into control group, T-2 toxin group, DON group and T-2 toxin combined with DON group according to their body weight, 20 in each group. The mice were injected intraperitoneally T-2 toxin(5 μg·kg-1·d-1), DON(20 μg·kg-1·d-1), T-2 toxin(5 μg·kg-1·d-1) combined with:DON (20μg·kg-1·d-1)respectively,control group were treated by isotonic NaCl. In 16 weeks and 21 weeks of exposure, the tail blood of the mice was collected. The comet rate, tail DNA content,tail length and tail extent moment of mouse mononuclear ceils in peripheral blood was observed using single cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE). Results ① In T-2 toxin group,tail DNA content,tail length and tail extent moment were (27.71 ± 15.85)%, (13.67 ± 5.56)μm, 4.26 ± 3.83 at 16 weeks and (28.38 ± 15.57)%, (13.83 ± 5.47)μm, 4.37 ± 3.82 at 21 weeks, all levels of the indexes increased. In the control group, the corresponding values were (11.87 ± 4.61)%, (10.59±6.70)μm, 1.34±0.98 at 16 weeks and (11.31 ± 3.94)%, (10.83 ± 7.05)μm, 1.29±1.01 at 21 weeks, the differences in the two groups were significant (all P < 0.05) ;②In DON group, the comet rate of cells, tail DNA content and tail extent moment of comet ceils were 5.62%, (28.13 ±13.31)%, 3.39 ± 2.35 at 16 weeks and 7.71%, (29.17 ± 15.12)%, 5.70 ± 4.17 at 21 weeks. In the control group, the tailing rate was 4.34% at 16 weeks and 4.38% at 21 weeks, the differences in the two groups were significant (all P < 0.05);③In the group of T-2 toxin combined with DON,the comet rate, tail DNA content, tail length and tail extent moment was 6.21%, (30.14 ± 15.48)%, (16.93± 6.58)μm, 5.54 ± 4.22 at 16 weeks and 8.17%, (30.85 ± 15.76)%, (17,21±6.45)μm, 5.70 ± 4.17 at 21 weeks. Moreover, the levels were significantly higher than that in the control group(all P < 0.05). The tail DNA content and length of comet cell tail significantly increased in the combine group compared with T-2 group or DON group(P < 0.05). Conclusions Low dose T-2 toxin or DON can definitely result in DNA damage of mononuclear cells in peripheral blood of mice. The damage induced by T-2 toxin combined with DON is severer than that caused by T-2 toxin or DON alone.

Background Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic model is an acceptable model and is often used to the study of diabetic retinopathy (DR).However,the model is often established using retinal digest preparation in vitro in albino rats,and therefore it is difficult to evaluate the change of retinal vessels by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in vivo.Recently,pigmented rats are being used as the DR model.But the study on the comparison between albino rat model and pigmented rat model is seldom.Objective This study was to observe and compare the manifestations of FFA and retinal digest preparation in early diabetic pigmented diabetic rat and albino diabetic rat,and to select the right model of DR using FFA.Methods Type 1 diabetic models were induced in 15 six-week-old health male BN rats and 15 six-week-old health male SD rats by the injection of STZ (55 mg/kg) via tail vein.The models were thought to be successful in the rats with the blood glucose level ≥ 16.7 mmol/L.The right eyes of the rats were extracted 6 weeks after injection of STZ.Lens were examined by slit lamp microscope.Retinal vascular changes were examined by fundus photography,FFA and periodic acid Schiff staining of retinal digest preparation.The manifestations of FFA and retinal digest preparation were contrasted between BN rats and SD rats.The number of eyes with lens opacification was compared by Chi-square test and the ratio of vascular endothelial cells and perithelial cells (E/P) was compared between BN rats and SD rats.The use and care of experimental animals complied the Statement of Ethic Committee of Tianjin Medicine University.Results Six weeks after injection of STZ,11 BN rats and 10SD rats were included in this study.The blood levels were (24.73±2.98) mmol/L and (22.36±3.65) mmol/L in BN rats and SD rats,respectively,without significant difference between the 2 types of rats (t =7.873,P＞0.05).Lens opacification occurred in 6 BN rats and in 5 SD rats (P=0.717).FFA showed the clear retinal vascular under the brown background.Evident vessel disorder and fluorescence leakage like background stage of DR were seen in 9 eyes.However,in the SD rats,retinal vessel abnormality could not exhibited owing to the interference of choroid fluorescent light from choroidal vessels and vortex vein.Retinal digest preparation exhibited that unevenness of vessel diameter,decrease of perithelial cells and increase of endothelial cells in both types of rats.The E/P values were 11.50±3.68in the BN rats and 12.86±3.94 in the SD rats,without significant difference between them (t=9.785,P＞0.05).Conclusions The abnormality of fundus vascular morphology can be better displayed in pigmented diabetic rats than albino rats by FFA in vivo.
