OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy between eccentric fixation and internal fixation for treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of femur,to provide a theoretical basis for the selection of the treatment method of the intertrochanteric fractures of femur.

METHODSFrom February 2007 to January 2010,82 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated by internal fixation including 39 cases of eccentric fixation involving 23 males and 6 females, aged from 41 to 81 years old with an average of (62.68±10.69), using the DHS or proximal femoral locking plate; 43 cases of intramedullary fixation involving 15 males, 28 females,aged from 43 to 78 years old with an average of (62.60±8.37),using PFN or PFNA fixed. The surgical incision length, operative time, blood loss and postoperative Harris score between two groups were compared.

RESULTSThe wound of two groups were primary healing without operative complications. All cases received follow-up for an average time of 18.3 months (12 to 28 months). The incision length, operative time and blood loss had a statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). Harris scores of hip joint function at 1 month after operation had statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.05), and Harris scores at 12 months after operation had no statistical significance difference between two groups. The rate of excellent and good was 89.7% in eccentric fixation group and 90.7% in intramedullary fixation group,the difference was not statistically significant (t=0.0613, P>0.05). In eccentric fixation group, there was 1 case of fracture nonunion with DHS loose and ensuing hip varus deformity. In intramedullary nail fixation group, there was no anti-rotation out,distal intramedullary nail of femoral refracture occurred in 1 case.

CONCLUSIONTwo treatment methods for the treatment of femoral fractures had a good therapeutic effect,but the intramedullary fixation had shorter operative time and less blood loss than the eccentric fixation,it prior to apply to osteoporosis and unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.

Objective To explore the higher dangerous factors,the early clinical performances and its contents of neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage(NPH).Methods The clinical performances,chest radiograms and autoptical pathological materials of 66 cases of newborns who died of NPH at our neonatal department during 1993 to 2003 were reviewed and analyzed.Results The higher dangerous factors of NPH were premature delivery/low birth weight,serious diseases lead to hypoxia and severe infections.The early clinical performances of NPH were the suddenly aggravation of dyspnea and the increasing of moist sounds.The early X-ray performances were lower penetrance of lung fields extensively and well-distributly with path clouds,the intercostals space usually increased.According to the autoptical(patho)-logy,this X-ray perfomance indicated the edema of the pulmonary with small amount of hemorrhage.Conclusion The patients with the higher dangerous factors and the early clinical performances of NPH,must be diagnosed and interfered it as early as possible to reduce the mortality of NPH.

Objective To assess the immune protective effect of donor spleen perfusion on the renal allografts in specific sensitized canine recipients.Methods Male dogs were operated as donors and recipients for kidney transplantation.Eighteen dogs were previously sensitized by a method of multi-infusion of small number of lymphocytes from a paired donor and were then randomly divided into 3 groups equally.In donor specific spleen perfusion group,the artery and vein of the excised do- nor canine spleen were connected to the abdominal aortic artery and inferior vena cava of the recipient with processed fistula tubes,perfused at a speed of 18-25 ml/min for 40 min and then kidney from the same donor was transplanted to the recipient;In non-specific spleen perfusion group,the methods of excised spleen perfusion and kidney transplantation were indifferent to the above group except for the organs which removed from a non-specific donor;In control group,kidney transplantations were per- formed after an exclusion time of 40 min in the open abdominal surgery.Cross-match between paired dogs monitored by means of complement dependent cytotoxicity(CDC)and mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC)test before and after donor spleen perfusion was investigated.Rejection episodes and serum creatinine level in each group were assessed after kidney transplantation.Results Immune sensitization was successfully induced in all 3 groups after 3 to 4 times of donor lymphocyte stimulations.CDC as well as lymphocytes proliferation in MLC and CH50 of recipients was significantly declined after spe- cific spleen perfusion,and white blood cell count in peripheral blood also decreased transiently.After kidney transplantation between the paired sensitized dogs,the advanced rate of renal allograft function deterioration was slower in specific spleen perfusion group than in other two groups.The pathologic investigation suggested that severity of rejection in spleen perfusion group was milder than in other two groups.Conclusions Donor spleen perfusion can present a specific absorption efficacy for pre- formed antibodies and activated lymphocytes in sensitized recipients,as well as simultaneously deplete part of platelets in peripheral blood.So donor spleen perfusion may delay the presenting time of rejec- tion in early phase after kidney transplantation between the paired sensitized dogs,ameliorate the se- verity of rejection so as to improve the renal allograft function.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the dynamic changes and clinical significance of specific antibodies in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods A retrospective study was conducted to collect 141 adult COVID-19 survivors who were followed up in the Eighth Hospital affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University from February 6, 2020, to March 24, 2021. The patients were divided into severe group (severe and critical) and non-severe group (light and ordinary) according to the diagnosis at discharge. The antibody changes of the two groups were compared and analyzed at 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after discharge. Results After discharge from hospital, the positive rate of IgG in the severe group was 95.00% after 1 week and 100.00% in the following year, in the positive rate of IgG in the non-severe group was 59.50% after 1 week, 90.08% in 6 months and 76.03% in one year. The level of serum IgG in the severe group was significantly higher than that in non-severe group (Z=-2.441, P=0.015). One-year follow-up: the serum IgG in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the non-severe group (Z=-3.410, P=0.001). The serum IgM level of the severe group after one year follow-up was lower than that of the six months follow-up, the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.259, P=0.024). The serum IgG and IgM level of the non-severe group after one year follow-up was lower than that of the six months follow-up, the difference was statistically significant (Z=-7.37, P<0.01; Z=3.850, P<0.01). Conclusion The level of serum protective antibody in COVID-19 patients remained high within 6 months after discharge, and remained stable within 1 year after discharge. The antibody titers in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the non-severe group and lasted for at least one year. COVID-19 survivors receive 1 year of natural immune protection, and patients with critical conditions receive immunity for longer periods of time.

Objective To screen the 5 EV71 vaccine candidates which were isolated from MRC-5 cells to find one as the vaccine virus. Methods The ICR mother mouse were immunized by intraperitoneal injection with the 5 vaccine candidates which were made from monoclonal EV71 virus. Two weeks after booster immunization, the animals were allowed to mate, another booster was given after 2 weeks, and then attracted the milk mouse within 24 h with different types of virus by cranial cavity injection. The survival condition were recorded everyday, and the antibody titre(IgG) were detected by ELISA, the virus titre of intestine were detected by nest-PCR, and neutralizing antibodies were determined using a microassay with MRC-5 cells, and then the data were analyzed by SPSS16.0. Results The antibody titre of 5 virus immunized ICR mouse were improved with the increase in the immune times, and they got difference in neutralization capacity, the survival rate after fatal attract and the virus titre of the intestine. Conclusion It proved that the five vaccine candidates were different at the molecular level, cellular level and individual level. 123 strain was the best one in immunogenicity and immunoprotective property, which agreed with the vaccine requirement.

Due to the low effectiveness of traditional assisted reproductive technology (ART), new technological possibilities are constantly explored. Lots of studies have demonstrated the potential of microfluidics to revolutionize the fundamental processes of in vitro fertilization (IVF). With the advantages of high efficiency, short time, harmless collection, real-time observation of separation, similar microenvironment, and automation, the application of microfluidics in sperm isolation and IVF has shown an evident superiority over the conventional approaches and provided a new platform for ART. This review highlights the application of various microfluidic techniques in sperm motility assessment and isolation, sperm chemotaxis assay, IVF, sperm concentration, and sperm separation and enrichment in recent years. It also briefly introduces the basic principles, structural design, and operation processes of the microfluidic platform, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of each method and the potential of their clinical application. Obviously, there are still some challenges to the application of microfluidics in ART. However, it is believed that the development of this new technology would be toward a highly integrated application of several steps in one single device, known as IVF-lab-on-a-chip.
