1.Over-treatment and under-intervention for acute pancreatitis
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2011;17(1):5-9
There was never a time in history that so many disciplines and specialists participate and try to lead the clinical management for acute pancreatitis. Chaos remains at bedside, and episodes of under-intervention and especially over-treatment frequently happened. Physicians are easily confused by questions and controversies in management for acute pancreatitis. We have reviewed the articles in acute pancreatitis and made our recommendations based on the latest evidences.

BACKGROUND:Intertrochanteric fractures can be generaly treated by surgical treatment. Along with deep research on the biomechanics of the proximal femur, proximal femoral locking compression plate appears recently. The locking plate fixation is not strong, can reduce the local stress shielding, and maintain optimal system stability, but fracture fixation failure often occurs due to the inappropriate choice of nail plate. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the value of digital orthopedics technology in preoperative planning in locking plate fixation for intertrochanteric fracture. METHODS: Forty intertrochanteric fracture patients receiving CT tomography femur upper segment were selected and divided into two groups. In the conventional group, after reading X-ray films and CT images, patients received locking plate fixation. In the computer planning group, before repair, fracture model was established using Mimics software to segment fracture fragments, simulate operation reset and 3-matic software was used to reconstruct locking plate and screws. Locking plate was assembled with Mimics to obtain the best plate position, best screw angle and screw length. Proximal femoral locking compression plate fixation was performed. Fluoroscopy times, operation time, blood loss and fracture healing time were compared in both groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional models of proximal femur were reconstructed, and a series of data were obtained. The optimal position of each plate was obtained from each patient. The screw length was predicted, so preoperative operation planning was realized. Al patients were folowed up for 6-20 months. Fluoroscopy times, operation time, and blood loss were significantly less in the computer planning group than in the conventional group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in fracture healing time was detected between the two groups (P > 0.05). These findings suggest that digital orthopedics technology used in intertrochanteric fracture can simulate the locking plate position, determine the screw placement angle and length of the screw in advance, and reduce fluoroscopy times, operation time, blood loss and screw position misalignment.

Objective To investigate the effect of chronic intermittent hypoxia on blood pressure,sympathetic nerve activity and myocardial mitochondrial oxidative stress status in aged rats.Methods Chronic intermittent hypoxia(CIH)rat models were established.A total of 84 male Wistar rats(3-4 and 23-24 months old,respectively)were randomly and equally divided into four groups according to age:young control group,young CIH group,aged control group and aged CIH group.CIH exposure lasted for 3 weeks.The arterial blood pressure,the frequency of carotid sinus nerve action potential,the lung function,the levels of catecholamine,aconitase/fumarate ratio (A/F),plasma superoxide dismutase(SOD)in the plasma were measured and compared between four groups.Results The arterial blood pressure was significantly higher in young CIH group than in the young control group[(150.4 ±25.6)mmHg vs.(102.2±7.4)mmHg,P<0.01].There was no significant difference in the arterial blood pressure between the aged CIH group[(132.8 ±16.2) mmHg] and the aged control group[(127.1 ± 26.8)mmHg].The minute volume ventilation was significantly lower in the aged control group than in young controlgroup[(331.7±53.5)ml· min-1 · kg-1vs.(554.8±111.9)ml· min-1 · kg-1P<0.05].The min-1 · kg-1 ventilation showed no significant difference between the agedCIH group[(354.1±51.9)ml· min-1 · kg-1]and the aged control group[(331.7 ±53.5)ml· min-1 · kg-1].The rate of CSN frequency change by hypoxia stimulation was lower in the aged control group than in young control group[(6.2± 5.5)times vs.(11.8 ±6.6)times,P<0.01],and was lower in the aged CIH group than in the young CIH group[(22.2 ± 13.5) times vs.(44.2± 12.1) times,P<0.01].The levels of plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine were higher in the young CIH group than in the control group[(39.0±8.9)nmol/L vs.(20.8±10.6)nmol/L,(48.1±13.6)nmol/L vs.(26.7 ± 14.3)nmol/L,both P<0.05].The levels of plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine showed no significant difference between the aged control group and the young control group,also no significant difference was found between the aged CIH group and the aged control group.The A/F ratio was lower in the young CIH group than in the young control group[(0.26±0.13)vs.(0.58 ±0.04),P<0.01].The A/F ratio was lower in the aged control group than in the young control group [(0.29±0.02)vs.(0.58± 0.04),P<0.01],but there was no significant difference in the A/F ratio between the aged CIH group and the aged control group.The level of SOD was significantly lower in the young CIH group than in the young control group [(5.30 ±± 0.90) NU/mgprot vs.(6.10 ± 1.73)NU/mgprot,P<0.05].There was no significant difference in SOD level between aged control group and aged CIH group.Conclusions The effect of CIH on blood pressure in aged rats is different from the youth rats.This study shows adecreasedsympathetic nervous over activity and a reducedmitochondrial oxidative stress in aged rats.Aging probably suppresses two important pathogenic mechanisms,by which CIH affects blood pressure,therefore releases CIH induced blood pressure abnormality.
