Objective To compare the effect of titanium elastic nailing (TEN) and plating in treatment of both radius and ulna fractures in children older than 10 years.Methods This retrospective analysis comprised 38 children (50 sides) of both radius and ulna fractures treated with TEN (30sides) or plate (20 sides) between 2009 and 2014.Parameters compared between the two fixation methods were operation time,ratio of open/close reduction,time to internal fixation removal,incidence of postoperative complications,and bone union time.Anderson score was used to evaluate the treatment results.Results Operation time [(94.3 ± 39.5) min vs (120.5 ± 45.4) min],time to internal fixation removal [(210.8 ± 84.1) d vs (264.4 ± 88.9) d],and ratio of open/close reduction (20/10 vs 20/0)varied significantly between TEN and plating groups (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Whereas,no statistically significant differences were noted in regard to complication rate,bone union time,and effect evaluation.Conclusion For fracture of the radius and ulna in children older than 10 years,TEN should be used for closed type without obvious displacement,but plate fixation is associated with lower incidence of fracture malunion and better outcome in treatment of open type with obvious displacement.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is a swine herpesvirus of the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily and a pathogen of swine resulting in devastating disease and economic losses worldwide. Cre/loxP site-specific system has the character of site specific, time specific, tissue specific and high efficiency in recombination, which makes this system universal in vivo and in vitro recombination of bacteria, fungus, plants, insects and mammals. A recombinant PRV which contain a loxP site in TK locus by using Cre/LoxP recombinant system was construsted. A pair of primers were synthesized according to the pEGFP-C1 sequence published on GenBank, and were used to amplify the EGFP gene expression cassette with two loxP sites flanking each side. This target gene was cloned into pSKLR, the resulting transfer vector pSKLR-GFP-loxP was then cotransfected into 293T cells with PRV SH strain genomic DNA. The recombinant virus rPRV1 was selected and purified in TK-143 cells by choosing fluorescent expressing plaques. Cre expression vector pOG231 was cotransfected into 293T cells with rPRV1 genomic DNA. The second recombinant virus rPRV2 was obtained, which contains only one loxP site in TK locus. Sequencing results of rPRV2 TK gene indicated that 34bp loxP site was inserted into rPRV2 genome and there were 270bp deletion in TK gene. PCR amplifying different generations of rPRV2 TK gene showed that the mutant was stable when passages in RK-13 cells. TCID_ 50 assay indicated that rPRV2 grows well on RK-13 cells. The LD_ 50 test results on BALB/C mice suggested that the virulence of rPRV2 was reduced. As a conclusion, the report gene GFP expression cassette was removed successfully from rPRV1 genome and only one LoxP site was leaved in rPRV2 genome by using Cre/LoxP recombinant system.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility and the efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in treating thoracolumbar fractures.

METHODSFrom October 2000 to December 2009, the data of 44 patients with thoracolumbar fractures were retrospetively analyzed. All patients were treated with anterior decompression, auto-iliac bone graft and anterior internal fixation system. They were divided into thoracoscopic group (23 cases, treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) and traditional group (21 cases, treated with traditional anterior approach surgery). In the thoracoscopic group, there were 15 males and 8 females with an average age of 41.4 years (ranged, 19 to 76); and in the traditional group, there were 14 males and 7 females with an average age of 39.3 years (ranged, 20 to 74). All patients were followed up from 6 to 36 months with an average of 18 months. The operative time, volume of the blood loss, the decreased value of the occupation ratio of spinal canal (OR), the corrected and loss degree of Cobb angle, the improved condition of ASIA classification were compared between two groups.

RESULTSIn traditional group, operative time, volume of the blood loss, the decreased value of the occupation ratio of spinal canal (OR), the corrected and loss degree of Cobb angle, the improved grade of ASIA classification were (150.0 +/- 19.4) min, (970.0 +/- 72.0) ml, (35.5 +/- 6.4)%, (25.1 +/- 4.8) degrees, (1.0 +/- 0.7) degrees, (1.8 +/- 0.9) grades, respectively; and in thoracoscopic group, the above items were (170.0 +/- 20.8) min, (650.0 +/- 65.4) ml, (33.2 +/- 8.0)%, (23.6 +/- 5.4) degrees, (1.1 +/- 0.8) degrees, (2.0 +/- 1.1) grades, respectively. There was significant difference in volume of the blood loss between two groups (P < 0.05); there was no significant difference in operative time, the decreased value of the occupation ratio of spinal canal (OR), the corrected and loss degree of Cobb angle,the improved grade of ASIA classification between two groups (P > 0.05). The rate of fusion of all patients was 100%.

CONCLUSIONCompared with the traditional anterior approach surgery, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has advantages of little incision,less blood loss, less trauma, can obtain same clinical outcome and is a safe,effective method in treating thoracolumbar fractures.

OBJECTIVETo explore the molecular biological mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion (A&M) in reducing chemotherapy-related toxicity, relieving myelosuppression and increasing peripheral white blood cells (WBC).

METHODSTwo hundred and twenty-four male Kunming mice of clean grade were randomized equally into 4 groups, the blank control group (A), the model group (B), the acupuncture group (C), and the moxibustion group (D). Except those in Group A, mice were duplicated into myelosuppression model with cyclophosphamide (CTX) using the accepted method. After being modeled, mice in Group C and D were treated with acupuncture and moxibustion respectively, once a day for 7 successive days, while those in Group A and B were dealt with the same actions (seizing and fixing) every day but no therapy was given. From day 2 to day 7 of the treatment, 8 mice were taken from every group per day and killed in batches. Their peripheral WBC was counted and bone marrow for detecting Cyclin D1 expression and percentages of bone marrow cells in different cycle stages using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometer respectively.

RESULTSWBC count restored to exceed the baseline in group C and D at day 5 of the treatment, being one day earlier than that in group B. Cyclin D1 expression in the bone marrow raised in Group C and D, and reached the peak at day 4, showing significant difference as compared with that in Group B (P < 0.01). The phase G1 marrow cell percentages in Group C and D was lower than that in Group B at all days of detection, showing statistical significance at day 2-4 (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01); while the percentages of phase S and G2-M cells in the two treated groups was higher than that in group B all the times.

CONCLUSIONSWhile CTX damaged marrow cells, it intervened the cell cycle regularity and reduced the DNA content to cause myelosuppression and leucocytopenia. A&M therapy could improve the Cyclin D1 expression, speed up the cell transition from phase G1 to phase S and increase the synthesis of DNA. At the mean time, taking advantage of the block at phase G2, it can repair the injured DNA, speed up cell mitosis for turning into multiplication, improve the anti-injury and repairing ability of cells to protect bone marrow cells, and relieve the myelosuppression.

Malignant tumor is one of the main causes for death in the world at present as well as a major disease seriously harming human health and life and restricting the social and economic development. There are many kinds of reports about traditional Chinese medicine patent prescriptions, empirical prescriptions and self-made prescriptions treating cancer, and prescription rules were often analyzed based on medication frequency. Such methods were applicable for discovering dominant experience but hard to have an innovative discovery and knowledge. In this paper, based on the traditional Chinese medicine inheritance assistance system, the software integration of mutual information improvement method, complex system entropy clustering and unsupervised entropy-level clustering data mining methods was adopted to analyze the rules of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for cancer. Totally 114 prescriptions were selected, the frequency of herbs in prescription was determined, and 85 core combinations and 13 new prescriptions were indentified. The traditional Chinese medicine inheritance assistance system, as a valuable traditional Chinese medicine research-supporting tool, can be used to record, manage, inquire and analyze prescription data.
