Objective To compare open versus closed reduction in treatment of children with displaced femoral neck fracture whose reduction is delayed by more than 24 hours.Methods We retrospectively reviewed 51 children who had been treated at our department for femoral neck fracture between May 2005 and May 2012 after their reduction had been delayed for more than 24 hours.They were 37 boys and 14 girls,1.7 to 15.5 years of age (average,9.1 years).According to Delbet's classification,27 cases belonged to type Ⅱ,18 to type Ⅲ,and 6 to type Ⅳ.Of them,18 underwent closed reduction and 33 open reduction.Their complications were recorded in detail.Their therapeutic results were evaluated according to Ratliff's criteria and compared between the 2 methods of reduction.Results The 51 children were followed up for an average of 36.7 months (range,from 17 to 61 months).Anatomic reduction was achieved in 6 cases in the closed reduction group (33.3%) and 29 cases in the open reduction group (87.9%),respectively.All fractures healed after an average of 10.9 weeks (range,from 9 to 13 weeks),with one exception of nonunion in the closed reduction group.The incidence of femoral head necrosis in the closed reduction group (27.8%,5/18) was significantly higher than that in the open reduction group (15.2%,5/33) (P < 0.05).According to the Ratliff's evaluation at the final follow-ups,the good to excellent rate in the closed reduction group(66.7%,12/18) was significantly lower than that in the open reduction group (84.8%,28/33) (P <0.05).Coxa vara occurred in 3 children in the closed reduction group but in none in the open reduction group.Conclusion Open reduction with internal fixation may lead to better outcomes than closed reduction in the treatment of children with displaced femoral neck fracture whose reduction is delayed by more than 24 hours,probably because open reduction can result in better reduction quality.

Objective To explore the rate of incidence of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST)in patients with idiopathic in- tracranial hypertension(IIH).Design Restrospective case series.Participants 92 cases with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.Meth- otis All patients diagnosed with papilledema from January 1,2000 through May 1,2007 at our ophthalmology center.Consecutive pa- tients with a diagnosis of papilledema were identified.Patients with space-occupying lesions,hydrocepbalus,or meningitis were excluded. The remaining patients were evaluated with lumbar puncture,magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and magnetic resonance venography (MRV).Main Outcome Measures The rate of incidence of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST)in patients with idiopathic in- tracranial hypertension(IIH).Results Excluding patients with mass lesions,meningitis,or hydrocephalus,the occurrence of CVST was 7 (7.6%)of 92 patients with presumed IIH.One additional patients had a diagnosis of suspected CVST.Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis was diagnosed in 1 of the 7 patients with MRI alone,whereas it was evident in all 7 patients with MRV.Conclusions Cerebral venous si- nus thrombosis accounts for 7.6% of patients with presumed IIH in our ophthalmology services.Magnetic resonance venography in com- bination with MRI is recommended to identify this subgroup of patients.(Ophthalmol CHN,2007,16:410-413)
6. Adding hormone in cocktail promotes rapid recovery after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2020;24(27):4343-4348
BACKGROUND: Postoperative pain is a common clinical problem in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and severe pain can affect postoperative efficacy. Hormone is a common and effective anti-inflammatory drug, and there is some controversy over whether to add hormone to the local injection of cocktail in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of adding hormones to the cocktail to promote rapid recovery after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. METHODS: Osteoarthritis patients receiving unilateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty from October 2017 to March 2019 were randomly divided into a hormone group (local injection of cocktail + 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide) and a control group (local injection of cocktail + equivalent normal saline). Visual analogue scale score, fentanyl consumption, knee function, inflammatory indicators, adverse reactions and complications were observed in both groups after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Finally, 80 patients were included in the study (n=40 in each group). There was comparability between the two groups (P > 0.05). (2) The static and dynamic visual analogue scale scores of patients in the hormone group at 1, 2 and 3 days after surgery were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). (3) The dosage of fentanyl in the hormone group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 48 hours after surgery (P < 0.05). (4) At 1, 3, 5 days and 3 months after surgery, the knee flexion range of motion in the hormone group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). (5) Hospital for Special Surgery score of knee in the hormone group was higher than that in the control group at 3 months after surgery (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in Hospital for Special Surgery scores of the knee between two groups at 6 months after surgery (P > 0.05). (6) C-reactive protein levels at 3 days and interleukin-6 levels at 24 hours after surgery in the hormone group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). (7) The incidence of complications in the hormone group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). (8) Addition of hormones in the cocktail can effectively promote the rapid recovery after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty..

Objective To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of 3 short tandem repeat (STR) loci D18S53, D18S59 and D18S488 on chromosome 18 in fetus of Tianjin Han population, and to provide basic data in the use of 3 STR lo-ci in the prenatal diagnosis of Edward syndrome (ES). Methods A total of 64 villus samples and 374 amniotic fluid sam-ples were collected from gravida in Tianjin Han population. QF-PCR and ABI PRISM 377 sequence were used in this study. The frequencies of the genotypes were tested with H-W equilibrium. Genetic analysis was performed to conclude some data of population genetics such as the frequency of the alleles, the heterozygosity of observation (Ho), the polymorphism informa-tion content (PIC), the probability of discrimination power (DP), and the probability of exclusion (PE). Results The 15, 13 and 15 alleles of D18S53, D18S59 and D18S488 were observed respectively. The frequencies of the genotypes were in good agreement with H-W equilibrium. The Ho of 3 STR loci were 0.797, 0.847 and 0.792. The PIC was 0.81, 0.75 and 0.73. The DP was 0.944, 0.901 and 0.881. The PE was 0.593, 0.689 and 0.585. Conclusion D18S53, D18S59 and D18S488 STR lo-ci were the favorable genetic markers of chromosome 18, which can be used in prenatal genetic diagnosis of ES.
10.Alteration of serum lipids in patients with acute leukemia and its clinical significance.
Journal of Experimental Hematology 2002;10(4):371-372
To explore the clinical significance on alteration of serum lipids in acute leukemia (AL) patients, the level of serum lipids was monitored in 86 AL cases by using of automatic biochemical analyzer. The results showed that TG was significantly higher (P < 0.05) while TC, LDL-C and HDL-C were obviously lower (P < 0.05) in AL patients than those in normal controls. After chemotherapy, TG decreased but TC, LDL-C and HDL-C were still higher (P < 0.05) as comparing to pre-treatment in complete remission cases. There were no changes of those parameters in non-remission patients. It is concluded that determination of serum lipids level in AL patients is a simple and important accessory index to evaluate curative effect and monitor patient's condition.
