To observe the effect of interlocking intramedallary nail transplantation on homonymy fracture of shaft of tibia and femur. Totally 34 patients with traumatic homonymy fractures of middle-inferior 1/3 segment femurs and middle-superior 1/3 segment tibias were selected from Henan Luoyang Orthopedics Hospital from November 2000 to December 2005. Ti-alloy interlocking intramedallary nail made in Wujin Ter-factory of Jiangsu province was applied. To select the fron-outside patella opening approach, a needle was thread to femur and tibia step by step. Follow-up was performed at least 6 months after operation. The fractures of 34 patients got dissection positioning and synostosis. Functional evaluation of postoperative knee joint was good. Inserted bone nails were fixed, and there were no bad events such as cinched, breakdown nails and infections or side effects. It indicated that the modus operandi is simple and satisfactory to select the fron-outside patella opening approach and interlocking intramedallary nail to treat homonymy fracture of shaft of tibia and femur.

Objective To explore the evidence for the morphologic comparability between the meridians and interstitial connective tissues in the lower limb with auto-marked and 3D-Rebuilding technology. Methods First,the muscles were extracted and noise was eliminated;With edge detection a convex hull of the muscles edge was found;The interstitial connective tissue points were marked in the cross section images of left leg from the digital dataset of Virtual Chinese Human-Male1(VCH-M1).Finally,the auto-marked images were reconstructed with 3D-Doctor. Results The reconstructed meridians in the lower limb auto-marked with computer procedures tallied basically with the meridians and collaterals recorded in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) illustrative graphics.Conclusion Having the advantages of digital anatomic study on acupuncture points earlier and mature 3D-Rebuilding techniques,the department of Anatomy of South Medical University cooperated with the Department of Scientific Calculation and Computer Application of Sun Yat-sen University to devise a set of computer programs which could be used to AutoMark interstitial connective tissues in Virtual Human lower limbs and then reconstruct virtual fascia meridians which corresponded with the TCM records.This method avoided man-made error to a certain degree in the process of recognizing and rebuilding of fascias.The study is significant to explore the morphologic comparability between the meridians and collaterals and interstitial connective tissues in human lower limb.

We report a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma arising from the nasal septum. A 37-year-old woman presented with a 1-year-history of right-sided occasional epistaxis. Computed tomographic scans revealed an oval mass in the right nasal cavity. The tumor was removed endoscopically with endonasal approach. The microscopic finding showed numbers of myoepithelial cells and duct-like structures consisting of loose myxoid stroma. This lesion had histological characteristics of a pleomorphic adenoma, and this was confirmed by immunohistochemical expression of cytokeratin, S-100 protein and SMA. Her post-operative course was uneventful, and she is currently free from the disease 1.5 years after surgery.

Objective To explore the expression profiles and their clinical significance of microRNA (miRNA) molecules in different stages of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.Methods The miRNA molecule expressions of 12 patients with chronic hepatitis B,12 chronic HBV carriers,12 inactive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers,and 9 healthy controls were screened using miRNA microarray.The miRNA profiles were validated by the real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The t-test was used for comparison between twogroups,whereas one-way ANOVA and SNK-q tests were used for multiple comparisons.Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis H tests were used for comparison of two or more groups of data with skewed distribution.The receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the diagnostic significance of miRNA molecules.Results Compared with the healthy controls,significant differences in the expression profiles of miRNA molecules were found in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of chronic HBV carriers (2 molecules up-regulated,and 18 down regulated) and chronic hepatitis B patients (33 molecules up-regulated and 19 down-regulated).No significant difference was found between inactive HBsAg carriers (2 molecules up regulated,and 3 down-regulated) and controls.The results of six miRNA molecules detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR were basically consistent with the results detected by microarray.The area under ROC curve of the six miRNA molecules of hsa miR-4711-3p,hsa-miR-3191 5p,hsa-miR-5704-5p,hsa-miR 548ah-5p,hsa-miR-146a-5p and hsa-miR-29b-3p in distinguishing immune tolerance and clearance of chronic HBV infection were 0.994,0.984,0.967,1.000,1.000 and 0.996,respectively.Conclusions The different expression profiles of miRNA molecules could be used to distinguish the different stages of chronic HBV infection,and are closely related with the immune tolerance and activation in chronic HBV infection.

Objective To explore the nutrition risk,undemutrition rates,and nutrirlon support in the hos-pitalized patients with respiratory disorders.Methods Totally 100 hospitalized patients in department of respirato-ry medicine of our hospital from October to December 2008 were enrolled in this study.The nutrition risks were screened on the next day after admission and then two weeks later using Nutrition Risk Screening(NRS2002).Body mass index(BMI)lower than 18.5 ks/m2,serum albumin(sALB)lower than 35 g/L,or pre-ALB was lower than 20 g/L Wag regarded as undemutrition.Results Among all these 100 patients evaluated by NRS2002,59 patients were judged at the risk of malnutrition and 54 patients developed undemutrition two weekB later The nutrition risk and undernutuition rate among non-ambulatory patients were 87.7%and 82.9%,which were signifi-cantly higher than in ambulatory patients(32.2%and 30.5%)(P<0.001).The nutrition risk and undernutu-ition rate were also significantly higher in patients who stayed in the hospital for more than 2 weeks than those for less than 2 weeks(75.0% vs 9.4%and 66.2% vs 21.9%,respectively)(P<0.001).Twenty-two patients received nutritional support.The ratio of parenteral nutrition and enteral nutrition wag 1.2:1.Conclusions NRS2002 can be used in the nutrition assessment in hospitalized patients with respiratory disorders.Non-ambulato-ry and a hospital stay of more than 2 weeks increase the nutritional risk and undemutrition rate.Only a small per-centage of patients receive nutritional support.

Objective To study the mechanism of glutamine dipeptide on wound healing after operations on bums. Methods Totally, 30 burned patients were randomly divided into study group and control group (15 cases in each group). All patients received parental nutrition support after operation. Study group patients were supplemented with glutamine dipeptide at a dose of 0. 5 g ·kg-1· d-1. The plasma free hydroxyproline level was measured by a standard amino acid analyzer 1 day before operation and 7 days after operation and the wound healing time was recor- ded. Results The plasma free hydroxyproline levels of both groups were higher than the normal values before opera- tion but without significant difference [control group: (2. 24±0. 84) μg/ml, study group: (2. 32±0.92) jig/ml, normal value: (1.27±0.44) μg/ml]. On the post-operative 7 day, the plasma free hydroxyproline level of study group [ (4. 31±1. 05) ng/ml] was significantly higher than that of control group [ (3. 04±1. 01) μg/ml] (P = 0.002). The wound healing time of study group [ (29. 7±5.3) d] was shorter than that of control group but with- out significant difference [ (33. 3±7.5) d, P = 0. 14 ]. Conclusion The intravenous supplementation of glutamine dipeptide may increase the plasma hydroxyproline level after operation and thus promote wound healing.
