BACKGROUND: Morphine is the first choice for the pain of medium and advanced degrees due to cancer. This is advocated in the Pain Relieving Guide of the WHO. Controlled-release morphine sulfate tablets(CRM) and sustained-release morphine sulfate tablets (SRM) all belong to oral long-acting morphine. It plays an important role in relieving cancer pain effectively and improving their quality of life(QOL).OBJECTIVE: To observe the analgesic effect of CRM and SRM and to observe how they improve the QOL of the cancer patients with severe cancer pain.SETTING: Department of oncology, department of surgery, department of internal medicine and department of traditional chinese medicine in the first affiliated hospital of a university.PARTICIPANTS: During October 1995 to June 1998, all inpatients that were pathologically proved to suffer from malignant tumor with severe pain were recruited into our study.METHODS: There were 182 patients with severe pain due to advanced cancers pathologically proven. They all met the entry criterion of the study. Totally 95 patients were treated with CRM, of which 12 cases were lost in follow-up due to side effects, death, or discharge from the hospital, and the rest 83 cases entered the stage of clinical trial. Eighty-seven patients were treated with SRM. Of them 25 cases were lost in follow-up due to side effects, death, or discharge from the hospital, and the rest 62 cases entered the stage of clinical trial. The recommended initial dosage of CRM or SRM was 30 mg every 12 hours for all patients, and then the dosage was regulated according to the effects until the ideal anesthesia was achieved.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Assessments included pain severity, the effective rate, complete remission rate, remission time, adverse reactions, and the QOL before and after the treatment.RESULTS: The effective rates of CRM and SRM were 95% and 94%respectively. The complete remission rates were 82% and 80% respectively, and the remission time was(9.1 ±4.1) hours and (8.7±4.4)hours respectively. Statistically, there was no significant difference in analgesic effect and remission time between CRM and SRM. QOL was elevated for a higher degree in 62(75% ) and 47(76% ) patients after the treatment. QOL scores of CRM were (34.6 ± 11.5 ) points before treatment and (52.6 ± 13.0) points after the treatment( P = 0. 000), while QOL scores of SRM were(37.7 ± 9.7) points before the treatment and points (49.8 ± 12.9) points after the treatment (P = 0. 000). There was significant difference in QOL after the treatment. They could relicve osteocope,visceral pain, soft tissue infiltrative pain more effectively than they do about neurological pain.CONCLUSION: Oral treatment with CRM and SRM for the patients with server cancer pain shows a similar analgesic effect. They are effective, safe,and convenient, and can improve the QOL.

Objective To investigate the injury mechanism, fracture characteristics, treatment strategy and prognosis of Pilon fracture without fibula fracture. Methods 28 cases of Pilon fracture without fibula fracture (29 fractures) treated in our hos?pital were adapted from January 2009 to December 2014. 22 cases were male, 6 were female, aged 46 years old (23-75). Cause of injury:tumble in 14 cases, fall from high place in 8 cases, traffic accident in 5 cases, bruise in 1 case. 10 cases had associated in?juries, and 2 cases were open injuries. The OA/ATO fracture type, Rüedi&Allgower fracture type, and characteristics of fractures were summarized. The appropriate treatments were selected, and the operative method, operative time, surgical approach, fixation, fracture healing time, ankle Mazur score, Burwell?Charnley reduction score and postoperative complications were recorded. Re?sults On the mechanism of injury, 28 cases mostly had a median?low energy injury mechanism with little open injuries. On the fracture characteristics, there was a 96.6%anterior distal tibia articular fracture involved with no other specific fracture character?istics occurred. The treatment of the fracture mostly received a single operative approach to complete open reduction and internal fixation operation. The average operation time was 119 minutes, the average fracture healing time was 7.1 months, the excellent and good rate of ankle Mazur score was 86.2%and the satisfactory rate of Burwell?Charnley fracture reduction score was 93.1%. Skin infections occurred in 3 patients after operation. After effective antibiotic and correct clinical treatment, the incisions got healed in these 3 patients. Conclusion Pilon fracture with intact fibula mostly is caused by median to low energy injury when an?kle at neutral or varus position, most with anterior distal tibia articular fracture by foot dorsal flexion. Generally use a single anteri?or approach can complete open reduction and internal fixation operation with satisfactory clinical treatment. This kind of fracture could achieve good reduction, good bone healing, good function and little complications after correct treatment.

According to assessment standard of upper extremity described by Chinese Hand Surgery Association,the treatment outcome were excellent in 6 fingers,good in 3 fingers,general in 1 finger.ConclusionJoint prosthetic replacement is a new effective method to treat traumatic proximal interphalangeal joint defect,which is a simple operation with advantages of little trauma and rapid recovery.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the protective effect of Agaricus bisporus intracellular polysaccharides(IPS) and exopolysaccharides (EPS) on immunological liver injury induced by concanavalin A (Con A). METHODS Mice were pretreated with IPS and EPS (100, 200 and 400 mg kg- 1, ig) daily for 12 d. Immunological liver injury was induced by Con A 25 mg·kg-1 byinjection via the tail vein of mice.Eight hours after injection of Con A, the indexes of the liver, spleen and thymus, serum level of glutamicpyruvic transaminase (GPT), glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon- γ (IFN- γ), splenic lymphocyte percentages of CD4 + and CD8 + , and liver homogenate content of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. Liver pathological changes were observed by HE staining. RESULTS Compared with normal group, the autoimmune liver injury in mice induced by Con A resulted in an increase in the liver index (P<0.01) , spleen index (P<0.01), the activity of GPT (P<0.01) and GOT (P<0.01), the content of TNF- α (P<0.01) and IFN- γ (P< 0.01), and the level of MDA (P<0.01), but a decrease in the thymus index (P<0.01), the percentage of CD4+ (P<0.01) , the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ (P<0.01), and SOD activity (P<0.01). Compared with model group, treatment with IPS (200 and 400 mg·kg-1) and EPS (200 and 400 mg·kg-1 ) respectively resulted in an increase in the thymus index (P<0.01) but in a decrease in the liver index and spleen index (P<0.01). Similarly, the activity of GOT and GPT was decreased obviously (P<0.01), and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ in IPS and EPS 200 and 400 mg·kg-1 groups was decreased. Compared with model group, the activity of SOD in IPS and EPS (200 and 400 mg·kg- 1) group was increased (P<0.01) while MDA was decreased (P<0.01). Moreover, the percentage of CD4 + Iymphocytes decreased (P<0.01), whereas no significant difference was found in the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + .Pathological changes of the liver were observed under a microscope. Pretreatment with IPS and EPS could effectively reduce the liver injury induced by Con A. CONCLUSION IPS and EPS have certain protective effect on immunological liver injury, which may be related to their ability to clean up free radicals, control lipid peroxidation and regulate the balance of the immune system.

Objective:To explore the epidemiological characteristics, clinical characteristics, treatment strategies and clinical results of non-dislocated hyperextension tibial plateau fracture.Methods:A total of 25 cases of non-dislocated hyperextension tibial plateau fracture patients were collected, including 12 males and 13 females, aged 27-79 years with an average age of 51±15 years. Causes of injury: 18 cases of traffic accident, 2 cases of heavy injury, 5 cases of falling injury. Schatzker classification of tibial plateau fracture: 4 cases of type II, 5 cases of type IV, 13 cases of type V, 3 cases of type VI. Three columns theoretical classification: 4 cases of simple lateral column, 5 cases of simple medial column, 7 cases of medial column+lateral columns, 9 cases of three columns. Preoperative tibial plateau posterior slope angle was -10-0 degrees, average-5.2 degrees. Preoperative MRI showed 5 cases of medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury, 3 cases of posterolateral complex (PLC) complex injury, 2 cases of PLC+ posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury and 10 cases of menisci injury. The change of tibial plateau posterior slope angle was more than 10 degrees in patients with ligament injury, 5 patients had a tibial plateau posterior slope angle change more than 15 degrees, 5 patients had a tibial plateau posterior slope angle change more than 10 degrees, and the patients with a tibial plateau posterior slope angle change less than 10 degrees had no ligament injury; 6 patients with simple lateral column or medial column fracture had a ligament injury, 2 patients with medial column+lateral column fracture had a ligament injury, and 2 patients with three column fracture had a ligament injury.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-24 months, with an average of 16.4 months. The operation time was 124±33 min (65-180 min), and the bleeding volume was 106±48 ml (20-200 ml). All patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation. According to the characteristics of fracture, targeted reduction of articular surface and restoration of lower limb force line were carried out. The plate was placed on the anterior part of tibial plateau to fix the fracture fragment. Evaluation of postoperative fracture reduction: 20 cases were anatomic reduction, 5 cases were good reduction (between 2-5 mm articular surface collapse), and the excellent rate of fracture reduction was 100%. Internal fixation: 4 cases were treated with simple lateral plate, 2 cases with simple medial plate, 15 cases with medial+ lateral plate, 1 case with medial plate+ lateral anchor suture, 1 case with medial plate+ posterior screw, 1 case with lateral plate+ fibular screw, 1 case with medial plate + lateral plate+ lateral anchor suture. The meniscus was repaired in 8 patients, including 5 medial and 3 laterals. The fracture healing time was 3-6 months (mean 3.3 months). The postoperative knee Rasmussen score was 24.9±3.5 (18-29), and the postoperative knee joint mobility was 118°±9° (90°-130°). Superficial infection occurred in 2 patients.Conclusion:The main imaging characteristic of "non-dislocated hyperextension tibial plateau fracture" is the change of tibial plateau posterior slope angle. The injury of single anteromedial column/anterolateral column fracture is easy to combine with the "diagonal" injury, and when the tibial plateau posterior slope angle changes more than 10 degrees, it is easy to be associated with peripheral ligament injury. By using open reduction and internal fixation, restoring the joint articular surface and lower limb force line, repairing the soft tissue structure and ligament, and reconstructing the stability of knee joint, we can achieve satisfactory results.
