OBJECTIVETo compare therapeutic effects of locking plates for the treatment of Neer 3-and 4-part proximal humerus fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2009 to June 2011, 64 patients with Neer 3-and 4-part proximal humerus fractures were treated with locked plate fixation. There were 39 patients in the 3-part group including 16 males and 23 females, with an average age of (55.12 +/- 12.52) years old; and 25 patients in the 4-part fractures group including 9 males and 16 females,with an average age of (57.92 +/- 13.14) years old. The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (ASES), visual analogue scale (VAS) and complications were documented for analysis before and after treatment.

RESULTSAll the patients had incision healing at the first stage. All the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 12 to 30 months, with a mean of 16.5 months. Comparably better shoulder function recovery was achieved in the 3-part fractures group with regard to the ASES (76.14 +/- 14.10 in the 3-part fractures group vs. 65.93 +/- 11.82 in the 4-part fractures group, P < 0.05). Moreover,a statistical difference (P < 0.05) was observed regarding the VAS pain score (2.12 +/- 1.63 in the 3-part fractures group vs. 3.90 +/- 2.21 in the 4-part fractures group). For the complications rate,no statistical difference was noted between 3-part fractures group and 4-part fractures group (20.51% vs. 36.00%).

CONCLUSIONThe clinical outcomes of the 3-part proximal humerus fractures is better than the 4-part fractures proximal humerus fractures treated with locking plate. Complex proximal humeral fractures treated with locking plates can be achieved a satisfactory outcome when attention is paid to anatomic reduction, stable fixation, proper screws and plate placement, and reasonable functional exercise postoperative.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical significance of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (ⅡM).MethodsPeripheral blood lymphocyte subsets was determined by flow cytometry in 89 patients with polymyositis(PM ) or dermatomyositis ( DM ).The association between clinical features and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets was analyzed by F test,t test and x2 test.ResultsPatients with active DM showed significant decreases in counts of CD3+ cell,CD3+CD4+ cell and CD3+CD8+ cell[(8±4),(5.4±2.8) and (2.6±1.6) ×108/L respectively],compared with those in inactive DM [(16±6), (10.4±5.6) and (5.6±3.8) ×108/L respectively] and healthy controls [(14±4), (8.3±2.8) and (4.6±1.7) ×108/Lrespectively](F=12.901,8.257,7.084; P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that myositis disease activity could influence the counts of peripheral blood CD3+ cell,CD3+CD4+ cell and CD3+ CD8+ cell (b=0.211,0.344,0.289; P＜0.05 ).ILD in ⅡM could influence the counts of CD3+ cell and the ratio of CD3+CD4+cell (b=0.928,1.974; P＜0.05 ).Logistic regression analysis indicated that the count of CD3+CD8+ cell was risk factor for death,and the relative risk was 0.989(b=-0.011 ; P＜0.05).ConclusionPeripheral blood lymphocyte subsets may be regarded as useful laboratory parameters for monitoring RA disease activity.Decreased CD8+ T cell may predict a poor outcome of patients with IIM.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression levels of the type Ⅰ IFN system in muscle and lung of experimental autoimmune myositis (EAM) model and to evaluate whether the type Ⅰ IFN system associates with the pathogenesis of the EAM model in rats.MethodsThe EAM model was established to determine creatine kinase (CK) in blood serum.The pathology of muscle and lung tissue was examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The concentration of type Ⅰ IFN system mRNA in muscle and lung tissue was detected by real-time PCR.ResultsThe concentration of CK in model group [(209.17 ±91.95) IU/L]was significantly higher than that of two control groups(P ＜0.05).The scores of muscle and lung in EAM model were significantly higher than that of control groups (all P ＜ 0.05).The expression levels of the type Ⅰ IFN system in muscle of EAM model were significantly higher than that of control groups(all P ＜0.05).The expression levels of the type Ⅰ IFN system in muscle with EAM model were positively correlated with CK and the scores of muscle (all P ＜ 0.05).The expression levels of IFNα, IFNβ, IFNαR1, signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), myxovirus resistance protein 1 (MX1) in lung of EAM model were significantly higher than those of control groups(P ＜ 0.05), but not seen in INF-induced protein with tetratricopetide repeats 1 (IFIT1) and IFN-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15).The expression levels of IFNα, IFNβ, IFNαR1, STAT1 and MX1 in lung with EAM model were positively correlated with the scores of lung pathology (all P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionThe type Ⅰ IFN system probably played a crucial role in the pathogenesis and the pathology of muscle and lung of EAM modeL

Objective To explore the spiral computed tomography (CT) imaging feature of post-intubation tracheal stenosis (PITS) and to discuss its clinical significance. Methods The clinical data and CT imaging findings of 27 patients with PITS were retrospectively analyzed. The location, degree and shape of PITS were analyzed, and the imaging features were summarized. Based on the imaging features the etiology of PITS was suggested, and the role of imaging feature in assessing PITS condition and in planning clinical management was evaluated. Results A total of 35 tracheal strictures were detected in the 27 patients. The location of the strictures included trachea incision site (n=10), balloon level (n=5) and distal end of tube (n = 20). In all patients the degree of stenosis was > 30%. Localized stenosis was seen in 15 cases, which presented as “hourglass”or “girdle”shape. Segmental stenosis was found in 4 cases, which was characterized by a “ribbon” or “dumbbell” stricture on CT scans. Complex stenosis was found in 8 cases. With the help of imaging findings, all patients got timely, proper and individualized treatment. Conclusion PITS has typical imaging characteristics. Spiral CT scanning should be regarded as the imaging examination of first choice. Based on the different imaging characteristics, the relevant departments can evaluate patient’s condition and make individualized treatment plan. The imaging finding is very helpful for anesthesiologists and other clinicians in recognizing and in managing the post-intubation tracheal stenosis.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of interventional treatment of occlusion of the entire inferior vena cava (IVC).Methods The clinical data of 6 patients with entire IVC occlusion were analyzed retrospectively.All patients were diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound and DSA.Venography was performed under local anesthesia via internal jugular vein and femoral vein approach.The occlusion of IVC and hepatic vein were treated with balloon dilatation and/or stent placement.Follow-up examination with color Doppler ultrasound was taken 1,3,6,12 months after treatment and annually thereafter to assess the patency of IVC and hepatic vein.The pressure gradient of hepatic vein-right atrium and IVC-right atrium before and after interventional treatment were compared with paired t test.Results In 5 cases,both IVC and 1 hepatic vein were recanalized successfully.In 1 case,recanalization of IVC failed,but the right hepatic vein was recanalized successfully.The mean pressure gradient of hepatic vein-right atrium decreased from (23.2 ± 2.0) cmH2O (1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa) before treatment to (8.7 ± 3.2) cmH2O after treatment in 6 cases (t =21.6,P ＜ 0.05).The mean pressure gradient of IVC-right atrium decreased from (26.6 ± 2.7) cmH2O before treatment to (9.4 ± 1.1) cmH2O after treatment (t =16.1,P ＜ 0.05).Abdominal pains occurred in 3 patients after stent implantation which disappeared in 24 hours.No other complications such as bleeding and death occurred.During a mean follow-up of(42 ± 27)months (16 to 90 months),hepatic vein patency was maintained in 6 cases and IVC patency was maintained in 5 cases.Conclusion Interventional treatment of occlusion of the entire IVC is a safe and effective method.

Objective To explore the therapeutic efficacy of endovascular embolization for the treatment of tiny intracranial aneurysms (≤3.0 mm) and to discuss its technical skill. Methods During the period from Dec. 2010 to July 2013, a total of 12 patients with tiny intracranial aneurysms (≤3.0 mm) were admitted to authors’ hospital to receive endovascular embolization therapy. Of the 12 patients, narrow-necked aneurysm (neck-to-body ratio ≤0.5) was seen in 7 and embolization with coils only was carried out, while wide-necked aneurysm (neck-to-body ratio > 0.5) was seen in 5 and stent-assisted coils embolization was adopted. Based on Raymond grading standard, the immediate therapeutic results were evaluated, and the procedure-related complications were recorded. Thirty days after the treatment , GOS grade was used to assess the results. Follow-up evaluation with angiography or through call was conducted. Results Successful embolization of the aneurysm was obtained in all the 12 aneurysms , with a success rate of 100%. Angiography performed immediately after the treatment showed that complete embolization was achieved in 8 aneurysms (66.7%) and residual aneurysm cavity was seen in 4 aneurysms (33.3%). GOS grading indicated that 12 cases belonged to grade V. The 12 patients were followed up for 1 - 12 months through telephone , and no re-bleeding occurred. Conclusion For the treatment of tiny intracranial aneurysms (≤ 3.0 mm), endovascular embolization is feasible although its safety and efficacy need to be further observed.
