Objective To investigate the operative treatment of displaced intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus using a small lateral incision approach.Methods Thirty-one patients with 32 intra-articular calcaneal fractures,were treated with open reduction and internal fixation through a small lateral incision approach from October 2004 to April 2006.The skin incision was made from the distal tip of the fibula to the base of the fourth metatarsal.According to Sanders classification,there were 21 typeⅡfractures and 11 typeⅢfractures.The first change of dressing was done on the second day after operation.The residual blood clots in the wounds were cleaned as much as possible when the drainage sheet was removed.The operated foot was bandaged with pressure dressing of cotton pad.Results After an average follow-up of 10.5 months(range,3 to 18 months),no soft tissue com- plications were found,and all had acceptable reduction.The preoperative X-ray film showed that B(?)hler angle was 6.84??9.36?,Gissane angle was 106.04??12.03?.The postoperative X-ray film demonstrated that B(?)hler angle was 32.06?+6.87?,Gissane angle was 115.81??9.48?,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).According to the AOFAS evaluation system for Ankle-Hindfoot,two feet scored 60-70 points,nine feet 70-80 points,16 feet 80-90 points and five feet 90-100 points.Condusion The small lateral incision approach is a good option for management of calcaneus fractures,because it causes minimal soft tissue damage,provides excellent exposure,and leads to convenience for later removal of internal fixators and subtalar arthrodesis.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of buflomedil hydiochoride for on jection inpro- gressive ischemic stroke.Methods 60 patients with cerebral infarction were divided into buflomedil hydrochoride for injection treatment group and control treatment.Then the nepal function deficits of patients were evaluated before and after 15 days.Serum MMP-9 levels in vein blood samples of ischemie stroke were detected.Results The inci- dence rate of progressive ischemic stroke in treatment group of buflomedil hydrochoride for injection was lower than that of control treatment group(P

OBJECTIVETo observe the efficacy of catgut implantation at back-shu points in treatment of mild perimenopausal depression of kidney, deficiency and liver stagnation syndrome and analyze its essential function on target symptoms.

METHODSForty-five cases were randomized into a catgut implantation group (23 cases) and atid acupuncture group (22 cases). In the catgut implantation group, catguts were implanted at Shenshu (BL 23), Ganshu (BL 18), Xinshu (BL 15), Pishu (BL 20), etc., once every week. In the acupuncture group, the conventional acupuncture was applied to the same acupoints as the catgut implantation group, once every two days. The: treatment of 4 weeks made one session, and continuous 2 sessions were required. The efficacy was evaluated in, 2 sessions. The follow-up started in the 12th week. Before treatment, after treatment and in the follow-up period, Kupperman score and the total score in Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), as well as the factor score were observed in the patients separately.

RESULTSKupperman score, the total HAMD score and the scores in the items of anxiety/somatization, retardation, sleep disorder and cognitive disorder after treatment were all reduced significantly as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (P<0.01, P<0.05). In the follow-up period, the difference in Kupperman was not significant in comparison with that after treatment in the catgut implantation: group (P>0.05). The total HAMD score and sleep disorder were reduced significantly as compared with those after treatment in the catgut implantation group (both P<0.01); in the acupuncture group, Kupperman score, the total HAMD score and sleep disorder were all increased as compared with those after treatment (all P<0.05). In; the catgut implantation group, the total HAMD score was lower than that in the acupuncture group (P<0. 05), and the scores in the items of retardation and sleep disorder were reduced significantly as compared with those in the acupuncture group (both P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe catgut implantation at back-shu points alleviates perimenopasual sympton is in patients of mild perimenopausal depression of kidney deficiency and liver stagnation syndrome. This therapy effectively relieves depressive disorders by regulating the target symptoms such as anxiety/ somatization, retardation, sleep disorder and cognitive' disorder. The long-term efficacy of this therapy is better than the conventional acupuncture.

Objective:To determine the expression of Mcm2(a member of MCMs family) in colorectal neoplasm and to assess the relationship between Mcm2 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal neoplasm.Methods: Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of Mcm2 in normal colorectal mucosa(n=23),adenoma(n=33),and cancer(n=69) tissues,and the results were quantified by calculating the labelling index(LI).Results: Mcm2 expression in normal colorectal mucosa was confined to the 1/3-1/2 of colonic crypts basal;there was no expression in coloncytes surface.In colorectal adenoma and cancer,Mcm2 expression was seen throughout epithelium,including the coloncytes surface.The median(range) LI of Mcm2 in these 3 tissues were 18%(5%-37%),35%(15%-75%),66%(41%-90%),respectively.The differences between normal mucosa,adenoma and cancer were statistically significant(P

[Objective] To investigate the clinical significance of approximated molecular subtype.[Methods] Four different subtypes were defined by immunohistochemical (IHC) markers as estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2.Clinical characteristics as distribution,age,menopausal status,histopathologic type and grading,tumor size,lymph node status,time to and place of first tumor recurrence were analyzed.[Results] Among all 703 cases,Luminal A was the majority (51.5%) and the least were Luminal B and HER2+.90.8% the patients were less than 59 years old with Luminal A.Different subtype has different histopathologic grading.Luminal A was more than others among grading 1 tumors and it has more T1 tumors,while T4 tumors was most among HER2+ ones.Lymph nodes metastasis has no significant difference between different groups,other than high proportion tendency of N3 stage in Luminal B and HER2+.In addition,Luminal A has the longest time to the first recurrence while HER2+ was the shortest.Moreover,HER2+ and Basal-like have high rates of lung metastasis.Different from foreign reports,the distribution of the first recurrent place and distant metastases have no significant difference.[Conclusion] The classification of breast cancer approximated molecular subtype defined by IHC markers was feasible.The distribution is similar to other countries.Luminal A has rather better clinical characteristics while HER2+ and Basal-like have high rates of lung metastasis.However,Luminal A has the highest proportion of young patients,which is different from other countries.

Objective To explore the protective role of PR-39 on the ischemia reperfusion injury renal tissue of rats.Methods 60 male SD rats were enrolled and randomly divided into experimental KP group and negative control KE group.The rats orthotopic renal transplantation model were established.The recombinant adenoviral vectors containing promoter KSP and PR-39 gene (KP) or none (KE) were injected via renal artery.HE staining,immunohistochemistry and TUNEL staining were performed on the rats' renal tissues at 2 days after IRI modeling,and the renal tubular interstitial injury score and peritublar capillary rarefaction was also evaluated.The renal function related factors of rats was monitored before and after IRI,and the blood urea nitrogen and creatinine level was also compared between KP and KE groups.Results Blood urea and creatinine concentration was increased,part of glomerular and tubular injury in renal tissue were also visible in rats underwent renal IRI,which proved the rat orthotopic renal transplantation model were successfully estabilshed.PR-39 gene specifically expressed in renal interstitial tissue,but not in glomerular.The degree of kidney tublar injury and the number of apoptotic cells were lower in KP groups by comparing with negative control KE groups.Renal tubular injury was significantly decreased in group KP than in group KE.Peritubular capillary rarefaction index is smaller in KP than in KE group.The blood urea nitrogen and creatinine level in KP group were significantly lower than those in KE group,and the renal function were also recovered more quickly.Conclusion The specific expressed PR-39 in renal interstitial and tubule,can inhibit the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells and promote the angiogenesis of peritubular capillary,so as to exert its protective role on IRI renal tissue.

Task-driven teaching method is a kind of exploration.The prospective research on the application of task-driven teaching method in social medical insurance course is helpful to setting up a teaching situation,constructing a relaxed study environment,stiring up students’interest in the study and improving students’initiatives and creativity.

Based on the performance management theories and methods, the factors affecting clini-cal teachers' teaching motivation were analyzed in domestic university affiliated hospitals. In consideration of the functional position of university affiliated hospitals and the responsibilities of clinical teachers, the Delphi, KPI and other methods were used to identify key index and respective weight of teaching perfor-mance evaluation, therefore the teaching performance evaluation system including teaching load, teaching quality and teaching capacity in three dimensions were constructed. Then this index system was applied to a university affiliated hospital as an example to verify its feasibility, scientificity and effectiveness. Further-more, the evaluation system was embedded to information platform of educational administration manage-ment, and was proved as a useful teaching performance information management tool that provided reference for hospital performance payment distribution, title evaluation and recommendation, and teaching awards evaluation at all levels, etc. Consequently, theoretical and methodological references were provided for improving clinical teachers' teaching enthusiasm.
