BACKGROUND:Anti-rotation intramedulary nail fixation for proximal femoral fractures replaces the femoral bearing axis, moves towards body axis relative to hip screw and dynamic ankle screw, enhances the anti-fatigue strength at the fracture site, supports the anti-varus and prevents the rotation of the proximal fracture site, and is suitable for the treatment of unstable fracture. OBJECTIVE:To comparatively observe the effects of dynamic hip screw knife system and minimaly invasive spiral blade anti-rotation intramedulary nail in the repair of unstable intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS: A total of 82 cases of unstable intertrochanteric fractures, who were treated in the Department of Orthopedics, First People’s Hospital of Shunde from January 2012 to January 2014, were selected in this study. The patients were equaly and randomly divided into two groups: dynamic hip screw knife system group and minimaly invasive spiral blade anti-rotation intramedulary nail group. Repair index, fracture healing time and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Healing time and repair index were significantly better in the minimaly invasive spiral blade anti-rotation intramedulary nail group than in the dynamic hip screw knife system group (P < 0.05). Complications appeared in five patients from the minimaly invasive spiral blade anti-rotation intramedulary nail group, with the incidence rate of 12%, and in ten patients from the dynamic hip screw knife system group, with the incidence rate of 24%. The incidence of complications was significantly lower in the minimaly invasive spiral blade anti-rotation intramedulary nail group than in the dynamic hip screw knife system group (P < 0.05). These data suggest that for patients with unstable intertrochanteric fracture, minimaly invasive spiral blade anti-rotation intramedulary nail can decrease the incidence of complications, elevate the safety of the repair method, and promote the functional recovery.

In real life,vague expression is ubiquitous in any nation and any language.Medical English,as a branch of English for Science and Technology ( EST ),is typical in accuracy of word use.However,like other kind of language,it adopts vague expression,too.Vague expression plays an important role in medical practice.In communication of medical practitioners and patients,appropriate vague expression will improve language expression and communication efficiency.In medical English,the vague words that express approximate,presuming,or uncertain meaning are usually used to replace the exact meaning words.The correspondent translation methods such as literal translation,meaning translation,specialization etc can be used according to the different context.

OBJECTIVE: To learn the prevalence of abnormal components of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women, and to explore the optimal body composition indices to predict the abnormal components of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women. METHODS: A total of 181 participants were recruited from postmenopausal women who came to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital for health examination between July 2006 and August 2007. They were 41-60 years of age, and there were 1-9 years since menopause. Their clinical and biochemical parameters were measured, including body height, body weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, sagittal abdominal diameter, blood pressure, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, fasting,plasma glucose, fasting insulin and body fat. The prevalence of the abnormal components of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women was investigated. The correlations between body composition indices and the components of metabolic syndrome were analyzed by partial correlation analysis independent of age, years since postmenopause and the level of estradiol. The body composition indices to predict the abnormal components of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women were explored. RESULTS: ①The prevalence of central obesity (waist circumference ≥ 80 cm), hypertriglyceridemia (triglyceride ≥1.7 mmol/L), low high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (high density lipopretein-cholesterol < 1.29 mmol/L), hypertension (systolic pressure ≥ 130 mm Hg or diastolic pressure ≥ 85 mm Hg, 1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and high fasting glucose (fasting plasma glucose ≥ 5.6 mmol/L)was 48.1%, 31.5%, 16.6%, 38.7% and 50.3%, respectively. ②Through partial correlation analysis, body composition indices (body mass index, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, sagittal abdominal diameter, and body fat) had a positive correlation with triglyceride, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and fasting plasma glucose, while a negative correlation with high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, independent of age, years since postmenopause and the level of estradiol.③Body composition indices and critical value of them used to predict the abnormal components of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women were as follows: hypertriglyceridemia: body mass index ≥ 24.845 kg/m~2; low high density lipoprotein-cholesterol: sagittal abdominal diameter ≥ 18.85 cm; hypertension: body mass index ≥ 23.33 kg/m~2; high fasting glucose: sagittal abdominal diameter ≥ 18.10 cm or body fat ≥ 36.515%. CONCLUSION: Central obesity and high fasting glucose are the most common metabolic disorders in postmenopausal women. Obesity is an independent risk factor of metabolic syndrome for postmenopausal women. Body composition indices and their critical values to predict the abnormal components of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women are found.

Royal jelly (2.5g/kg/d igX8d) increased the clearance rate of iv charcoal particles in normal mice, and completely antagonized the decrease of clearance rate caused by cortisone acetate. It also potentiated the delayed type hypersensitivity ( DTH ) reaction of footpad induced by SRBC in normal mice, and entirely antagonized the inhibition of DTH reaction caused by eye lophosphamide. Royal jelly (2.5 g/kg/d ig X 7 d ) had no marked influence on hemolysin formation in normal mice and immunosuppressed mice caused by eye lophosphamide.

Methods Thirty adult short stature volunteers for cosmetic heightening were randomly divided into PMF group and control group, 15 in each group. Magnetic stimulation was given to the PMF group on the day after operation. X-ray examination was taken on fixed interval, and lengthening index was used for bone healing evaluation. Results The height increase ranged from 5～9 cm, mean (6.6?1.2) cm, and the mean lengthening rate was 19.2 % : 5～8 cm (6.2?1.1) cm in the PMF group and 5.2～9 cm (6.8?1.6)cm in the control group ( P

[Objective]To evaluate the biomechanical features of Ni-Ti shape memory alloy stemless femoral prosthesis.[Method]Using CT(computer tomography) scanning photographs of adult femur,three-dimensional model of the femur was built by CAD(computer aided design) software.Based on the the structure of femoral model,shape memory alloy stemless femoral prosthesis was designed.Three-dimensional finite element model was created for the normal femur,Ni-Ti shape memory alloy stemless femoral prosthesis,and traditional stemmed hip prosthesis.Under static loads and walking loads,the Von Mises stress distributions of each model were analyzed and compared.[Result]The stress distribution of shape memory alloy stemless femoral prosthesis was not obviously different from normal femur,stemless femoral prosthesis's proximal femoral stress was close to that of normal femoral model but significantly higher than traditional stemmed hip prosthesis.Von Mises stress of memory alloy claws was distributed evenly,and the Max was only 13.23Mpa,there was no stress concentration.[Conclusion](1) Ni-Ti shape memory alloy stemless femoral prosthesis has great biomechanical properties,may reduce the stress-shieding effect of the proximal femur.The fixed method that use memory alloy claws can make prosthesis fixed firmly to the bone and reduce stress concentration.

Objective To observe the efficacy of stage treatment with acupuncture plus intermediate frequency for Bell's palsy and its effect on serum NO content. Method By adopting a randomized controlled design, eighty eligible patients with Bell's palsy were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The two groups both received acupuncture treatment in acute stage (within 1 week after the onset); in the remission stage (since 1 week after the onset), electroacupuncture apparatus was added for the control group, and intermediate frequency was given to the treatment group in addition to the intervention for the control group. The House-Brackmann (H-B) facial nerve grading system and serum NO content were observed before and after the treatment. Result The H-B facial nerve grading was improved after the intervention in both groups; the total effective rate was 95.0% in the treatment group, significantly higher than 82.5% in the control group (P<0.05); the serum content of NO was significantly improved after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05), while the increase in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion In treating Bell's palsy, stage treatment with Acupuncture plus intermediate frequency can effectively restore facial nerve function, significantly enhance clinical efficacy and shorten treatment duration. This disease is closely related to the content of serum NO, and the benign regulation on serum NO content is possibly the mechanism of acupuncture in treating facial paralysis.
