BACKGROUND:Intramedul ary nail and traditional steel plate fixation have been widely used in the treatment of distal tibial (extra-articular) fractures, but these two kinds of methods have shortcomings. Some control studies attempt to answer the advantages and disadvantages of the issue on the treatment of extra-articular distal tibial fractures with intramedul ary nail and steel plate fixation, but the conclusions are different.
OBJECTIVE:To determine the efficiency and safety of intramedul ary nail and plate fixation in the treatment of extra-articular distal tibial fractures by Meta analysis.
METHODS:PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBMdisc, Weipu information database and Wanfang were searched by computer, and relevant Chinese and English orthopedic journals were hand-searched. Control ed trials related to intramedul ary nail and plate fixation in the treatment of extra-articular distal tibial fracture were included. The quality of trials was critical y assessed. RevMan 5.0 software was used for data analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Four articles were included. Meta analysis showed that compared with the plate fixation, the malunion rate of the intramedul ary nail for extra-articular distal tibial fractures increased. There was no statistical difference in the rate of nonunion rate, delayed fracture healing, and infection rate after operation. These indicate that intramedul ary nail and plate fixation both have good effects on fracture healing.

BACKGROUND:Intramedul ary nails and locking plates are widely used for two-part proximal humerus fracture. Which is better for two types of implants in patients remains controversial. OBJECTIVE:To determine the clinical outcome of intramedul ary nails versus locking plates for two-part proximal humerus fracture according to Cochrane Meta analysis. METHODS:We searched PubMed, SCI, Embase, the Cochranel Library and CBMdisc, VIP information, Wanfang Database, and CNKI for randomized control ed trials and quasi-randomized control ed trials on intramedul ary nails and locking plates for two-part proximal humerus fracture. RevMan 5.2 software was used to analyze operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, postoperative complications (heterotopic ossification, pain, screw penetration, necrosis of humeral head), and Constant Score. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Six articles of clinical control ed trials were included with 259 patients. 131 patients received intramedul ary nails, and 128 patients received locking plates. Meta-analysis displayed that no significant difference in fracture healing time, heterotopic ossification, pain, necrosis of humeral head and Constant Score was detected between intramedul ary nails and locking plates for two-part proximal humerus fracture. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and screw penetration were significantly less in the fixation with intramedul ary nails than that in locking plates (P<0.05). These findings suggested that compared with locking plates, intramedul ary nails method for two-part proximal humerus fractures could reduce screw penetration.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of occurrence of social isolation in maintenance hemodialysis patients and analyze its influencing factors, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of targeted interventions.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 315 dialysis patients in three hemodialysis centers in Xinjiang were selected by simple sampling method from October 2021 to March 2022, who were investigated using the general information questionnaire, Lubben-6 social network scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (sedentary behavior section), Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item scale (PHQ-9) and Frail Scale. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors affecting the social isolation of dialysis patients.Results:Social isolation was present in 28.89% (91/315) of maintenance hemodialysis patients, and binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that age (45-59 years old: OR=4.815, 95% CI 1.362-17.017;≥60 years old: OR=8.968, 95% CI 2.349-34.236), dialysis age ( OR=2.788, 95% CI 1.334-5.826), sedentary behavior ( OR=2.504, 95% CI 1.406-4.461), depression ( OR=2.095, 95% CI 1.179-3.722), and debilitation ( OR=2.043, 95% CI=1.062-3.933) were influencing factors of social isolation in maintenance hemodialysis patients (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The occurrence of social isolation in maintenance hemodialysis patients was closely associated with advanced age, high dialysis age, sedentary behavior, debilitation, and depressive status, suggesting that medical staff in hemodialysis centers can implement targeted interventions to prevent or improve the level of social isolation in patients based on relevant influencing factors.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in the oldest old.Method:The clinical data of elderly patients (≥60 years old) with BPPV diagnosed in the Clinical Center for Vertigo and Balance Disturbance of Capital Medical University between January 2019 and October 2021 was collected, including basic information, clinical symptoms in a structured medical history questionnaire and the time interval from the appearance of symptoms to medical consultation. According to the age, patients were divided into elderly group (60-74 years old) and the oldest old group (≥75 years old), and the demographic information, clinical symptoms and consultation time were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 3 019 patients with BPPV were included in analysis; there were 415 patients in the oldest-old group with the age of (79.54±3.62) years, and 2 604 patients in the elderly group with the age of (65.59±3.88) years. The incidence of vertigo, dizziness or vertigo triggered by position changes of head or body, headache and autonomic symptoms in the eldest-old group were less common than that in the elderly group (all P<0.05). But hearing loss and other types of dizziness (unable to determine the nature of dizziness or vertigo, or without typical symptoms such as dizziness, balance disorders, or instability) were more common in the eldest-old group than those in the elderly group (all P<0.05). Among 3 019 patients, 1 137 had definite time from symptom onset to diagnosis (1 004 in the elderly group and 133 in the oldest-old group), the proportion of patients with the time from the onset to diagnosis>7 days in the oldest-old group was higher than that in the elderly group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The oldest old patients with BPPV have more atypical symptoms than the younger elderly patients.
