Objectives To inspect the levels of peripheral blood leukocyte and lymphocyte functionassociated antigen-1(LFA-1)expression in renaI allograft recipients before and after renal transplantation.Methods Using monoclonal antibody-flow cytometer fluorescence technique,the expression of LFA-1 in lymphocytes of 33 patients with renal transplantation was detected at 1 day before operation and 3,6,9,15 days after operation by flow cytometric immunological technique,Results The level of LFA-1 expression after transplantation was significantly decreased and maintained at a low level.and ascended suddenly during the course of graft rejection.The level of LFA-1 expression in rejection was obviously higher than in non-rejection and after the eontrollring of rejection.Conclusions LFA-1 might Dlay an important role in graft rejection.Monitoring of the expression of LFA-1 is helpful for the diagnosis of the graft rejection.

Abstract:The present case report retrospectively analyzed 36 cases of injury to posterior pelvic dng who received treatment in the Department of Orthopedics,Yan'an Hospital between January 2004 and April 2007. According to the Denis classification,there were 20 cases of type I injury to posterior pelvic ring,12 of type Ⅰ,and 4 of Ⅲtype Ⅲ; according to Tile classification,there were 16 cases of B3,10 of C1,6 of C2,and 4 of C3. Pedicle screw fixation system was employed. Two curvy incisions were made on the bilateral posterior superior lilac spine and a hole was chiseled on each side to fit the pedicle screw. Then,a universal pedicle screw was driven between the inner and outer lilac plates until the screw were sunk. A rod was finally traversed through erector spinae to connect two pedicle screws. Thirty cases were available at follow-up with a mean of 11 months (range:6-11 months). None of 30 cases presented with nerve or vessel injury and breakage,loosening of screws,or redislocation of sacroiliac joints. According to functional rating scale,excellent results were found in 15 cases,good in 13,and fair in 2 cases. These findings suggest that treatment for injury to posterior pelvic ring with pedicle screw fixation system is simple and reliable with microtrauma and little bleeding; in addition,it affords good recovery and can be employed in primary hospital without monitoring of X-ray,so it will deserve popular practice.

BACKGROUND:Classical deltopectoral approach leads to a great injury to soft tissues. It is difficult to lay the steel plate on the lateral side. The steel plate is frequently laid on the anterolateral side of humerus. Fixed position is not ideal.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of lateral deltoid-splitting approach in treatment of proximal humeral fractures.
METHODS:From August 2008 to August 2013, 114 patients with fracture of surgical neck of humerus, who were treated in the Department of Orthopedics, Yan’an Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University in China, were enrol ed in this study. They were treated with locking compression plate, and assigned to deltoid splitting approach group and deltopectoral approach group (n=57). Surgical trauma, fracture healing, curative effects, functional recovery and Constant shoulder score were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were fol owed up for at least 8 months. Compared with the deltopectoral approach group, the proximal humeral fractures were healed as scheduled in the deltoid splitting approach group, and the anteflexion, abduction, shoulder lifting of the shoulder joint, and sensation of lateral skin of the upper arm were not impacted. No significant difference in Constant shoulder score was detectable between the two groups (P>0.05), which suggested that deltoid splitting approach for treating the proximal humeral fractures was safe and feasible. In addition, in accordance with the Neer’s classification system, the excellent and good rate in the deltoid splitting approach group (91%) was significantly higher than that in the deltopectoral approach group (75%) (P<0.05). Therefore, the deltoid splitting approach can be used as the first choice for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures.
