Objective:To investigate the importance of measuring and restoring distal radius tear drop angle in the treatment of distal radius middle column fracture with anterior collapse of lunate fossa joint.Methods:Thirty one cases of distal radius fractures in 29 patients was reported for 2 years from January 2018 to January 2020. Two patients with both distal radius fractures were included in this study. All cases in this group were treated by operation. Among the 29 patients, there were 20 males and 9 females. Their ages were 44.9±15.1 years (ranged from 20 to 78 years). Two patients with both distal radius fractures were included in this study, due to both teardrop angle (TDA) reduced. The time from injury to operation was 4-17 d, with an average of 6.9 d. Except for 2 cases of fracture with simple volar approach, the other cases were treated with combined volar and dorsal approach. All patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with plates and bone grafting. The teardrop angle was measured before and after operation, and the effect of surgical recovery of teardrop angle was compared. The wrist function was evaluated by Gartland-Werley scores.Results:The wounds of all patients healed in one stage without postoperative infection. The follow-up time of 29 patients were 15.1±5.2 months, ranged from 7 to 31 months. The healing time for all fractures was 10.3±2.9 weeks (from 8 to 16 weeks). No fracture nonunion or redisplacement. In 31 cases, the tear drop angle was 33.4°±5.83° (20°-45°) before operation, and 58.9°±9.89° (35°-70°) after operation. At the end of follow-up, Gartland-Werley scores was 4.7±4.6, ranged from 0 to 17. Among them, 10 cases were excellent, 16 were good, 5 cases were fair, and the excellent and good rate was 83.9%. The Gartland-Werley scores of the two subgroups with postoperative tear drop angle recovery ≥50° and <50° were compared, and the results were significantly different (the excellent and good rate for two subgroups were 96.2% and 20.0% respectively ( P=0.001). Conclusion:The distal radius fracture with significantly reduced tear drop angle should be actively treated. The measurement and recovery of tear drop angle is an important factor affecting the functional outcome of distal radius fracture with anterior edge collapse of lunate fossa joint, which should be highly concerned by clinical doctors. The recovery of teardrop angle mostly requires dorsal approach.

Objective To explore the specific cellular and humoral immunity induced by dendritic cells (DC) vaccine loading allogenic microvascular endothelial cell bEnd. 3 antigen against U14 cervical cancer cell of mice. Methods Mouse brain microvascular endothelial cell bEnd. 3 was cultured and identified for preparation endothelial cell bEnd. 3 antigen. The level of mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGF-R2) and integrin αV was detected by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. The BALB/c mice were immuned with DC loading bEnd. 3 antigen 4 times in 4 weeks (bEnd. 3-DC group), while the mice only were immuned with DC or injected with phosphate buffer saline (PBS group) as control group. One week after last vaccination, U14 cervical cancer cells were injected subcutaneously into the mice. The tumor size, cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response of spleen lymphocytes in vitro, the percentage of CD3+ CD+8 surface markers of spleen lymphocytes, and the titer of serum antibody were detected. The specific immunity was examined by immunocytochemistry and western blot. Results The expression of VEGF-R2 and integrin αV gene in bEnd. 3 cells were expressed highly.After the vaccine was injected, the tumors of mice in PBS group grew faster than those in other groups, while the tumors in bEnd. 3-DC group grew slowly and disappeared after 2 weeks. The volume of tumors in DC group grew slower than those in PBS group [(0.11± 0.13) cm3 versus (3.38 ±0.34) cm3]. The CTL response of spleen iymphocytes in vitro showed that bEnd. 3-DC cells could kill bEnd. 3 cells, the special lysis rate was more than 60% . The percentage of CD+3 CD+8 spleen lymphocytes in bEnd. 3-DC group[(38.6 ± 0.7) %] was higher than those in other groups (P < 0.05). The titer of serum antibody of Immunocytochemistry analysis indicated there were specific antigen-antibody reaction to bEnd. 3 cell in bEnd. 3-DC group. Western blot analysis revealed that there were specific bands at 220 000 (VEGF-R2).Conclusions bEnd. 3-DC vaccine can inhibit the tumor growth of U14 cervical cancer cell of mice, which indicates that the special cellular and humorai immunity are induced by bEnd. 3-DC antigen which maybe have some antigens in bEnd. 3 cells that reacts with endothelial cell proliferation-related antigens.

Objective:To investigate the operation efficacy of anterior radius head fracture combined with lateral ligament complex injury.Methods:The patients with radial head fracture admitted from September 2017 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, 51 males and 54 females, average age of 38.84±13.63 years (range of 16-70 years). Based on the radial head fractures of Mason classification of type II, the cases involving the anterior radius head fracture were divided into three subtypes according to the number of fracture blocks and the type of displacement: type A (53 cases): one part of the anterior radius head collapse fracture; type B (50 cases): two or more parts of the anterior radial head collapse fracture; type C (2 cases): anterior radius head dissociated and displaced fracture. All fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Among them, the lateral ligament complex of type B were elongated due to the injury but the continuity existed. Therefore, the lateral ligament complex in 21 cases were not repaired in the early period (unrepaired group); in recent years, 29 cases repaired the lateral ligament complex (repair group). The postoperative efficacy was evaluated by elbow range of motion, table-top relocation test, Mayo score, and Broberg Morrey score. the patients were evaluated at final follow-up, except table-top relocation test was recorded according to the actual completion time.Results:All operations were successfully completed. The mean follow-up was 14.08±1.52 months (range of 12-18 months). Type A: the flexion and extension range was 115.70°±6.35°; the completion time of the table-top relocation test was 75.68±11.90 days; the Mayo score was 93.72±2.40 point, and the Broberg Morrey score was 92.89±2.28 point. Type B: lateral ligament repair group (repaired group) 29 cases and unrepaired lateral ligament group (unrepaired group) 21 cases. The flexion and extension range of elbow in repaired group was 112.1°±4.4°, which was better than that in unrepaired group 105.8°±3.7° ( t=5.31, P<0.001). The completion time of table-top relocation test was 77.72±6.51 days in repaired group and 104.29±18.45 days in unrepaired group ( t=6.32, P<0.001). The Mayo score of the repaired group was 90.21±5.88 points and that of the unrepaired group was 87.14±5.26 points ( t=1.90, P=0.063), and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Broberg Morrey score of 90.93±6.43 points in the repaired group was better than 86.95±6.37 points in the unrepaired group ( t=2.17, P=0.035). Type C for 2 patients, the flexion and extension range of elbow were 107°and 106°; the completion time of table-top relocation test were 82 days and 98 days; the Mayo scores were 91 point and 87 point; Broberg Morrey scores were 93 point and 85 point. There was a patient developed myositis ossificans in unrepair group of tybe B. Conclusion:The elbow joint is stable when one part of the anterior radius head collapse fracture; there is a degree of instability in the elbow when two or more parts of the anterior radial head collapse fractures suggest to repair the lateral ligament complex. The elbow joint is extremely unstable when anterior radius head dissociated and displaced fractures, the lateral ligament complex should be repaired in time.

Objective:
To evaluate the new compensation mechanism for primary healthcare institutions in Zhejiang province, in terms of fairness, performance, incentive mechanism and sustainability in pilot areas.
Methods:
Evaluation indicators were constructed based on stakeholder theory, fairness theory, expectation theory and sustainable development theory.Focus group interviews were conducted with stakeholders and quantitative data were collected through questionnaires. Meanwhile, the financial compensation, income and expenditure and work equivalent data were collected from such institutions of the four pilot areas, with quantitative data subject to descriptive analysis.
Results:
This study found the reform used reasonable proportion of funds allocated(the proportion of basic salary for employees was lower than 50%)and adjustment factors(1.0-1.8)of different primary healthcare institutions to guarantee the fairness of the reform; the increase of work equivalents(the per capita work equivalents of medical staff in pilot counties had increased from 38.435 million in the previous year to 42.590 million work equivalents)reflected the performance outcomes of the reform. The incentive and sustainability of the reforms were the weak parts. These were mainly due to the fact that the internal distribution system of primary healthcare institutions failed to make corresponding reforms.
Conclusions
The reform of the compensation mechanism based on the equivalent method has changed medical staff′s perception of the distribution of funds. The principle of" more pay for more work" and the use of information technology to capture work equivalents have improved the enthusiasm of primary medical staff and the operational efficiency of these institutions, thus, making reform generally scientific and reasonable.
