Objective To study 3D imaging and pelvic angiography for multiple pelvic fracture. Methods 30 cases suspected with multiple pelvic fracture with vascular injury were performed with 3D imaging and pelvic angiography, whose dada were analyzed retrospectively. Results 30 cases had multiple pelvic fracture to different extents, of which 25 ones had no abnormality at lower part of abdominal aorta, left & right common iliac artery, left & right iliac artery, external iliac artery and upper part of left & right femoral artery, and 1 case, complicated with local hematoma, had a raptured left external iliac artery at the middle piece of the ilium, and another two cases, also complicated with local hematoma, had a raptured left iliac artery due to the comminuted fracture of the sacrum and a raptured right anterior femoral artery due to the fracture of light femur respectively. Conclusion 16-slice CT has to be involved in when the patient with multiple pelvic fracture is suspected with vasculaer injury.

Objective To investigate the effect of sedation on respiratory mechanic dynamics, intrapulmonary shunt fraction,oxygen metabolism in patients with mechanical ventilation.Method Sixty patients with mechanical ventilation were divided randomly into control group and sedation group.Propofal was administered to patients,whose ramsay scores were kept atⅢorⅣlevels,in sedation group while the equal amount of normal saline was given in control group.Mixed venous blood and arterial blood samples were taken for blood gas analysis in both groups before and at 2 hours after administration.Heart rate,blood pressure,breathing rate and airway resistance all were recorded at the same time.Results There were no significant differences in oxygenation index,blood pressure,blood lactic acid,total lung static compliance and intrapulmonary shunt fraction between two groups before and after administration.Heart rate,respiratory rate,oxygen uptake and airway resistance of patients in sedation group were lower than those in control group,and partial pressure of oxygen in mixed venous blood of patients in sedation group were higher than those in control group.These differences were statistically significant.Conclusions Sedation can decrease oxygen uptake and airway resistance of patients with mechanical ventilation.However,no alteration in the oxygenation index,total lung static compliance and intrapulmonic shunt ratio can be observed.

Methods The non-iodized salt coverage rate ＞ 5％ of Delingha city, the coverage rate of iodized salt and the rate of qualified iodized salt ≤80％ of Jiuzhi, Wulan, Nangqian, Zaduo, Geermu,Yushu, Gande, Chengduo, and Dulan counties(cities), the median of urinary iodine ＜ 100 μg/L of Huangyuan county of 11 areas were chosen as monitoring area in 2009. Five townships(towns) were selected by their location of east, west, south, north and center in each county (city), and one school was selected in each township (town),and 60 household salt samples were collected in each school, and quantitatively determined by direct titration of iodine(GB/T 13025.7-1999). Three townships(towns) were selected in each county(city), and two schools were selected in each township(town). The content of urinary iodine of 40 children aged 8 - 10 and 20 women of childbearing age aged 18 - 40 was analyzed by As3+-Ce4+ catalytic spectrophotometry (WS/T 107-2006). ResultsThree thousand two hundred and sixty-one edible salt samples were tested. The coverage rate of iodized salt was 79.88％.The iodized salt qualification rate was 95.16％. The qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 76.02％. The noniodized salt coverage rate was 20.12％. In Nangqian, Zaduo, Yushu and Geermu counties(cities), the non-iodized salt coverage rate was 88.89％, 45.05％, 43.00％ and 12.67％, respectively. The median of urine iodine of 2536 children aged 8 - 10 was 155.8 μg/L, with ≤50 μg/L about 13.6％ (346/2536), ＞ 100 μg/L about 67.5％(1711/2536), and it was 75.1, 94.6 μg/L in Nangqian and Zaduo counties, respectively. The median of urine iodine of 665 women of childbearing age was 129.7 μg/L, with ≤50 μg/L about 22.7％(151/665), ＞ 100 μg/L about 59.2％(394/665), and it was 21.0, 54.7, 72.7 μg/L in Zaduo, Nangqian and Chengduo counties, respectively.Conclusions Insufficient intake of iodine exits in children and women of childbearing age in high risk region of iodine deficiency disorders in Qinghai province, which should be corrected as soon as possible.

ObjectiveTo study the clinical effect of the proximal femoral anatomical locking plate in the treatment of ipsilateral femoral shaft and neck fractures.Methods A retrospective study was done on 10 patients with ipsilateral femoral shaft and neck fractures treated with proximal femoral anatomical locking plate in our hospital from February 2009 to February 2011.After treatment,the outcome was assessed regularly by fracture union as was seen on serial radiographs and clinical function was estimated by Friedman and Vyman System.ResultsAll patients were followed up for 6-24 months ( average 16 months).All the fractures were healed within 2.5-4 months (average 3 months) in the femoral shaft and within 4-9 months (average 6 months) in the neck,respectively.According to Friedman and Vyman System,the overall clinical result was good in eight patients and fair in two,with excellent rate of 80％ (8/10).No osteonecrosis of the femoral head and fixation failure were observed during the followup. Conclusion Proximal femoral anatomical locking plate internal fixation is an effective treatment method for ipsilateral femoral shaft and neck fractures.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of ex-vivo liver resection combined liver autotransplantation for patients with massive primary liver cancer who underwent complex liver resection.Methods The clinical data of 4 patients suffering from massive primary liver cancer who were admitted to the Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from January 2008 to May 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.Regular liver resection could not be carried out because the first,second and third hepatic hilum of the 4 patients were invaded by the tumors,so ex-vivo liver resection combined liver autotransplantation were performed.ResultsThe operation was successfully carried out for the 4 patients.The operation time,the duration of anhepatic phase and the volume of operative blood loss were 690-840 minutes,250-300 minutes and 400-1400 ml,respectively.Portacaval bypass operation was not performed.After ex-vivo liver resection,the inferior vena eava or hepatic vein and portal vein of the 4patients were repaired,and the allogenous blood vessels were kept to extend the superior vena cava of the remnant liver so as to facilitate the anastomosis of blood vessels and reconstruction of the first hepatic hilum. After operation,the hepatic function of 1 patient was back to normal; 1 patient who stfffered from abdominal hemorrhage received reoperation for hemostasia; 1 patient was found with hepatic dysfunction; 1 patient died of hepatorenal dysfunction at postoperative day 5.Compensatory hypertrophy was observed in the 3 patients who survived at postoperative months 1-2.Of the 3 patients,2 were found with multiple pulmonary metastases at postoperative months 8 and 9,and they died at postoperative mouths 13 and 15.Until April 2012,1 patient survived for 37 months with no tumor recurrence or metastasis. ConclusionsEx-vivo liver resection combined liver autotransplantation provides the technical feasibility for performing complex liver resection for patients. The incomplete compensation of liver function and the short-term recurrence of tumors after operation are still the main issues which hinder the development of this technique.

BACKGROUND:L-type calcium channels, as a kind of voltage-dependent calcium channel, is the main way of extracellular calcium ions into the cell, and play an important role in maintaining cellmorphology and physiological activities, characterized by a large single-channel conductance, slow channel attenuation, and longer duration of channel opening. Previous studies showed that basic fibroblast growth factor can promote the proliferation of chondrocytes cultured in vitro.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of the L-type calcium channels on regulating chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation in response to basic fibroblast growth factor with patch-clamp.
METHODS:The chondrocytes were harvested from the joints of 3-day-old New Zealand rabbits. The second passage of chondrocytes was divided into experimental group and control group. Chondrocytes were incubated in media containing 10μg/L basic fibroblast growth factor and media alone separately. The opening of L-type calcium channels under the action of basic fibroblast growth factor was detected by patch-clamp. The intracellular calcium concentration was detected with laser confocal microscopy in the chondrocytes after 2 weeks of culture with basic fibroblast growth factor. Chondrocyte proliferation was analyzed by cellTiter kit after 8 days of culture. Type Ⅱ col agen was assessed quantitatively by immunohistochemistrical staining after 10 days of culture.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Basic fibroblast growth factor has an inhibitory effect on the opening of the L-type calcium channels, resulting in a decrease in intracellular free calcium concentration (P<0.01). cellnumber was higher after culture with basic fibroblast growth factor than that cultured under conventional condition (P<0.01), and staining area of type II col agen significantly increased (P<0.05). Results verified that basic fibroblast growth factor can maintain intracellular Ca2+concentration at a low level by inhibiting the opening of L-type calcium channels, which can promote the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes.
