BACKGROUND:The key of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients is to select the appropriate fixation, but few clinical studies concerned different fixation methods for blood volume of blood circulation system in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures. OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of proximal femoral intramedul ary nail and dynamic hip screw on blood volume of blood circulation system in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.
METHODS:A total of 48 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures, who were treated in the Jiangyin Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2012 to September 2014, were enrol ed in this study. These patients were assigned to two groups (n=24). Patients in the observation group received treatment with proximal femoral intramedul ary nail, and patients in the control group received treatment with dynamic hip screw. Postoperative blood loss, perioperative blood transfusion, preoperative and 3-day postoperative hemoglobin difference, incidence of postoperative complications, dominant blood loss, and hidden blood loss were compared between the two groups. Range of motion of the hip and Harris score of the hip were compared between the two groups at 4 and 12 months post surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intraoperative blood loss was less in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). No significant differences in perioperative blood transfusion and preoperative and 3-day postoperative hemoglobin were detected between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time was significantly longer in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). No significant difference in length of hospital stay was detected between the two groups (P>0.05). Within the same time period, the range of motion of the hip and Harris score of the hip were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). The total amount of blood loss and dominant blood loss were less in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). These findings indicate that compared with the dynamic hip screw, proximal femoral nail fixation for intertrochanteric fracture has less intraoperative blood loss, lower incidence of postoperative complications, postoperative range of motion of the hip and better hip score. However, operation time of proximal femoral nail was long. There were no significant differences in hemoglobin difference and perioperative blood transfusion between the two fixation methods.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of 3-n-butylphthalide pretreatment on the delayed neuronal death(DND) and the expreesion of heat shock protein70 (HSP70) in rat hippocampus after ischemia/ reperfusion.
METHODSAll rats were randomly divided into sham group (n = 36), total cerebral ischemia (TCI) group (n = 36), butylphthalide (NBP) group (n = 6), NBP + TCI group( n = 36), quercetin + NBP + TCI group (n = 6), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + NBP + TCI group (n = 6). The model of total cerebral ischemia/reperfusion was established by blocking vertebral arteries and carotid arteries. In sham group, TCI group and NBP group, the animals were further divided into instantly, 6 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, 5 d groups according to the time interval after sham operation or TCI. Histological changes of the hippocampus were evaluated using thionin staining under light microscope by determining the delayed neuronal death (DND) and the expression of HSP70 was assayed using immunohistochemistry.
RESULTSNBP pretreatment could reduce delayed neuronal death in CA1 of hippocampus induced by TCI-reperfusion injury in rats, and up-regulated the expression of HSP70 in CA1 hippocampus of brain ischemic/reperfusion for 5 days. Quercetin blocked the acquirement of the brain ischemic tolerance induced by NBP preconditioning.
CONCLUSION3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) prevents the neurons from ischemia/reperfusion injury through upregulating the expression of HSP70.

Reduced graphene oxide-BiPO4 ( RGO-BiPO4 ) nanocomposite was synthesized successfully via a one-pot solvothermal method using graphene oxide and bismuth nitrate as precursors and glycerin as solvent at 200℃ for 1 h. The morphology and structure of as-prepared nanocomposite were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, SERS and UV-Visible spectrum. The photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite was evaluated by the photodegradation of Rhodamine B ( RhB) dye under UV irradiation and it was found that RGO-BiPO4 nanocomposite possessed higher photocatalytic activity than that of pure BiPO4 . RhB could be decomposed 87. 5% within 2 h. Under the same conditions, only 45. 7% of the RhB dye could be decomposed by BiPO4 . The enhancement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the effective charge separation due to the electron-accepting and transporting properties of graphene.

Objective:To explore the effect of multi-channel health education model by professional team on drug compliance, disease knowledge and recurrence in rate of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, so as to provide basis for formulating scientific health education measures.Methods:From February 2016 to February 2019, IBD patients visited First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were selected. According to whether they received health education, the patients were divided into intervention group (100 cases) and control group (138 cases). Morisky medication adherence scale-8 (MMAS-8) and Chinese version of Crohn′s and colitis knowledge score (CCKNOW) were used to evaluate treatment compliance and disease knowledge. The score of MMAS-8, the proportion of poor drug compliance, CCKNOW score and recurrence rate at 48 weeks of follow-up were compared between the intervention group and control group. Two sample t test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The total scores of MMAS-8 and CCKNOW of the intervention group were both higher than those of the control group (5.58±1.96 vs. 4.47±1.44, 10.87±4.21 vs. 9.23±4.65), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-5.06 and -2.79, both P<0.05). The proportion of patients with poor drug compliance and recurrence rate at 48 weeks of follow up of the intervention group were both lower than those of the control group (56.0%, 56/100 vs. 86.2%, 119/138; 20.0%, 20/100 vs. 31.9%, 44/138), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=38.18 and 4.17, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Multi-channel health education by professional team can effectively improve the drug compliance and disease knowledge in IBD patients, improve patient self-management ability, and reduce the recurrence rate.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between polymorphism of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) exon 4 gene and different syndromes in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS: Two hundred patients with CHD were divided into four groups according to syndrome differentiation, including syndrome of phlegm (PS), syndrome of blood stasis (BSS), syndrome of phlegm-blood stasis blocking (PBBS) and syndrome of non-phlegm and non-blood stasis (NPNBS). One hundred healthy volunteers were included in control group. Blood lipids were measured by routine examination. Total DNA of peripheral blood was extracted. ApoE genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. All data were analyzed by SAS software. RESULTS: (1)The occurrence rate of epsilon4 allele of ApoE in patients with CHD was 19.5%, significantly higher than 9.5% in the control group (P<0.05), and the E 3/4 genotype was especially more frequent (P<0.01). (2) The levels of total cholesterol (TC), total triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with epsilon4 were higher than those in patients without epsilon4 (P<0.01). (3) The frequencies of epsilon4 allele and E3/4 genotype in patients with PS were significantly higher than those in patients with BSS (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: ApoE epsilon4 allele, especially E3/4 genotype, is the risk factor of CHD. There is a relatively close relationship between patients with ApoE epsilon4 allele and PS. It may be one of the main susceptible genes in CHD patients with PS.
