OBJECTIVETo explore clinical efficacy of double Endobutto reconstituting coracoclavicular ligament combined with repairing acromioclavicular ligament in stage I in treating acromioclavicular dislocation with Rockwood type III - V .

METHODSFrom January 2010 to September 2013, 56 patients with Rockwood type III - V acromioclavicular dislocation were treated by operation, including 20 males and 36 femlaes, aged from 32 to 52 years old with an average of 38.5 years old. Twenty-five patients were on the left side and 31 cases on the right side. The time from injury to operation was from 3 to 14 days, averaged 7 days. All patients were diagnosed as acromioclavicular dislocation with Rockwood type III - V, and double Endobutto were used to reconstituting coracoclavicular ligament, line metal anchors were applied for repairing acromioclavicular ligament. Postoperative complications were observed, Karlsson and Constant-Murley evaluation standard were used to evaluate clinical effects.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 8 to 24 months with average of 11 months. According to Karlsson evaluation standard at 6 months after operation,42 cases were grade A, 13 were grade B and 1 was grade C. Constant-Murley score were improved from (42.80±5.43) before operation to (91.75±4.27) at 6 months after operation. All items at 6 months after operation were better than that of preoperative items. Forty-eight patients got excellent results, 7 were moderate and only 1 with bad result. No shoulder joint adhesion, screw loosening or breakage were occurred during following up.

CONCLUSIONDouble Endobutto reconstituting coracoclavicular ligament combined with repairing acromioclavicular ligament in stage I for the treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation with Rockwood type III - V could obtain early staisfied clinical effects, and benefit for early recovery of shoulder joint function.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) by balloon dilatation between unipedicular and bilateral pedicle approach for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). Methods From January 2012 to March 2014, 56 patients with single-level or double- level OVCF were randomly divided into two groups. 29 patients with 33 vertebral bodies were performed by PKP through unipedicular approach and 27 patients with 31 vertebral bodies through bipedicular approach , used PMMA bone cement filling vertebral. The clinical data of patients were prospectively analyzed and the clinical efficacy was compared between two groups. Results The VAS scores, Beck value, Cobb angle and ODI scores after operation improved in both groups (P < 0.01),but there were no significant difference between two groups(P > 0.05). The operative time, X-ray exposure time and volume of bone cement in unilateral group were less than that of bilateral group(P < 0.01). There were no significant difference in the incidence of bone cement leakage ,the pain relief and the incidence of complications between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Both unipedicular and biopedicular PKP are significant improvement for the OVCF, vertebral strengthen showed similar efficacy, but the former has easy operation procedure, can shorten operative time and reduce X-ray exposure time and less volume of bone cement.

BACKGROUND:Nano-size inorganic filling greatly improves mechanic characteristic of composite resin.However,its effects on pulp tissue remain unclear.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the biocompatibility of FiltekTM Z350 nano-composite resin on dog pulp tissue by means of histology observation.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Randomized control animal experiment was performed at the animal experiment center of Fuzhou General Hospital,Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from April 2007 to April 2008.MATERIALS:Sixty healthy teeth from three adult male beagle dogs were recruited in this study.METHODS:Buccal Class V deep cavities were prepared in beagle dogs,which were then divided into four groups at random.FiltekTM Z350 resin,Dyract AP compomer and TPH resin were used to restore the cavities in three testing groups and glass ionomer cement was used as control.All cavities were treated with Clearfil SE BOND before filling.Intact healthy teeth were used as blank control.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The pulp condition of each tooth was studied histologically.The remaining dentine thickness of each cavity was measured.RESULTS:After 7 days,mild inflammatory response was observed in most of the specimens.After 30 and 90 days,normal histological characteristics were observed in almost all specimens except TPH resin group.The histological structure disturbance of dentin cell layer emerged in some specimens of TPH group,which was higher than other testing groups(P 0.05).CONCLUSION:FiltekTM Z350 nano-composite resin has similar biocompatibility as Dyract AP compomer and glass ionomer cement,better than TPH resin.

Objective To increase the preoperative diagnosis rate,reform the operation and improve the prognosis in children with ganglio -nauroma.Methods Clinical data of 20 children with ganglioneuroma hospitalized in Tongji hospital of Huazhong university of science and technology from Nov.1986 to May.2006 were reviewed(male 9,female 11).The biological,clinical and pathological characteristics of patients were analyzed.Results Among these 20 patients,15 cases were discovered to have no clinical symtom.The B ultrasound showed low-echo in all 16 cases.Under CT scan,20 cases showed low to moderate density shadows,and the distinct enhancement in these tumors was noted with enhanced CT scan.Fourteen cases undergoing MRI all showed low signals in T1W1 and inhomogeneous high signals in T2W1.All patients underwent surgical operations,completely removed in 14 cases,partly in 4 cases, and biopsy was performed only in 2 cases.Fifteen cases were followed up from 7 months to 6 years,tumor recurrence happened only in 1 case.Conclusions Ganglioneuroma is mostly found in chest-abdominal sympathetic chain,it grows up slowly and seems to be innocent.The imaging data of B ultrasound,CT and MRI can give helpful information in the diagnosis of ganglioneuroma.We shall pay attention to the choice of incision and avoidance of injuring the important blood vessels during the operation.Children who have neuroblastoma cells should receive prophylactic chemoprophylaxis treatment and the result of long-time follow up is satisfactory.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficacy of Ilizarov fixator on cicatricial foot drop after burn.

METHODSSix patients with cicatricial foot drop after burn were treated with Ilizarov fixator during June 2004 approximately October 2007, the fixator was set on the leg and foot by fixed bone needles. Nuts on the threaded rod were turned from 3 post operation day, 2 approximately 4 rounds per time and 4 times per day in the first week, then 1 approximately 2 rounds per time and 4 times a day, which corrected the deformity of talipes equinus by shortening or lengthening the thread rod in the front and at the back. Ankle joint was maintained in neutral position for 2 approximately 3 months after effective correction. Weight carrying for patients was increased gradually after removal of fixator. Ankle joint was maintained in neutral position with fixator at least three months. Patients were followed up 5 approximately 10 months.

RESULTSAnkle joints from all patients were restored to neutral position after application with fixator for 4 approximately 6 weeks. All patients achieved 0 degrees dorsiflexion in weight carrying for whole planta pedis after use of fixator for 12 approximately 15 weeks with good locomotion function.

CONCLUSIONIlizarov fixator is safe and mini-injury, which is an effective method for treatment of cicatricial foot drop.

The aim of this paper is to clarify the mineral origin of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Yangqishi and Yinqishi and guide identification of the both, by X-ray diffraction (XRD) Fourier patterns. Morphological identification and conventional physical and chemical analysis wee used to identify 22 batches of Yangqishi and Yinqishi. It used XRD Fourier patterns which has been collected from sample powders to analyze phase composition. It has been found experimentally that the mineral origin of Yinqishi is Talc schist and the mineral origin of Yangqishi is tremolite and actinolite. The results also showed that the method using XRD can get not only an accurate but also rapid identification of Yangqishi and Yinqishi. There are many differences in medicinal properties, efficacy, indications and composition of Yangqishi and Yinqishi, so be careful not to mix them up.
