Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of modified dual plating and less invasive stabilization system(LISS) in the complex fractures of tibial plateau.Methods One hundred and sixty-eight patients with complex fractures of tibial plateau were divided into two groups by the therapeutic methods,89 patients were in modified dual plating group while 79 patients were in LISS group.The advantages and curative effect of two groups were retrospectively analyzed.Results The excellent and good rate in modified dual plating group was slightly higher than that in LISS group [89.9％ (80/89) vs.86.1％ (68/79)],and there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).No patient occurred deep site infection,severe nerve damage,phlebothrombosis in two groups.In modified dual plating group,the operation time and bleeding volume was (89.2 ± 13.6) min and (188.4 ± 45.6) ml,the hospital stay and healing time was (16.5 ± 1.8) d and (13.3 ±2.1) months.In LISS group,the operation time and bleeding volume was (74.3 ± 12.5) min and (236.5 ±65.5) ml,the hospital stay and healing time was (16.7 ± 2.1) d and (11.4 ± 1.5) months.There was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The therapeutic effect of modified dual plating and LISS have no significant difference for complex tibial plateau fractures.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of pretreatment with ulinastatin on liver regeneration and TNF-α/IL-6/STAT-3 signal pathway in rats after 70% hepatectomy combined with ischemia-reperfusion injury.

METHODSA total of 120 normal male SD rats weighing 230-280 g were randomized into 3 groups (n=40), namely simple partial hepatectomy (PH) group, partial hepatectomy with ischemia-reperfusion (PHIR) group, and ulinastatin group. All the rats received resection of the left and middle liver lobes. In PHIR group, the remnant right lobes were subjected to blood flow occlusion for 30 min; in UTI group, the rats were given 50 000 U/kg UTI intravenously prior to the occlusion, and in PH group, the blood flow was not occluded. At 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 after the reperfusion, the remnant liver tissues were examined for regenerated liver weight, PCNA staining, TNF-α and IL-6, STAT-3, cyclin D1, and Cdk4 expressions.

RESULTSThe regenerated liver weight and PCNA positivity rates were significantly higher in ulinastatin group than in PHIR group at 24 h and 48 h after the reperfusion (P<0.05). In ulinastatin group, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly lower, and IL-6 level and the expressions of STAT-3, cyclin D1, and Cdk4 mRNA and cyclin D1 and Cdk4 proteins were significantly higher in ulinastatin group than in PHIR group at 24 h and 48 h (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONUlinastatin can promote liver regeneration after major hepatectomy and ischemia-reperfusion injury, and the effect is possibly related with activation of IL-6/STAT-3 signal pathway, which promotes the synthesis of cyclin Dl-Cdk4 complex and hepatocyte proliferation.

Objective:To explore the effects of holistic nursing management model in aerosol inhalation for children with mycoplasma pneumonia.Methods:From June 2018 to April 2019, this study selected 150 mycoplasma pneumonia children with aerosol inhalation in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University as subjects by convenience sampling. All of children were divided into observation group and control group with the method of random number table, 75 cases in each group. Control group carried out routine nursing, while observation group implemented nursing care with the holistic nursing management model. This study compared the compliance of aerosol inhalation among children between two groups. Perceived society support of children parents and quality of life of children between two groups were evaluated with the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Measurement Models (PedsQL 4.0) respectively before and after intervention.Results:The compliance rates of aerosol inhalation among children were 94.67% (71/75) in observation group and 82.67% (62/75) in control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . A total of 5 days after intervention, the scores of PSSS of children parents in observation group and control group were (73.25±10.08) and (66.36±9.96) respectively with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . There were also statistical differences in the scores of PedsQL 4.0 between observation group (74.14±10.77) and control group (65.64±9.55) 5 days after intervention ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The holistic nursing management model is conducive to improving the aerosol inhalation compliance and quality of life among children with pneumonia as well as social support among children parents which has high application effects.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of arthroscopy-assisted Tightrope technique and clavicular hook plating for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation of Rockwood Type Ⅲ in aduhs.Methods The clinical data were reviewed of the 60 patients who had been treated for acromioclavicular joint dislocation of Rockwood Type Ⅲ from January 2012 to December 2015 at Department of Orthopedics,Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital.Their age ranged from 34 to 62 years (mean,40 years).Injury was at the left side in 28 cases and at the right in 32 ones.They were randomly assigned to receive treatment either using arthroscopy-assisted Tightrope technique (group A,30 cases) or using clavicular hook plate (group B,30 cases).The 2 groups were compared in terms of incision length,operation time,blood loss,visual analogue scale (VAS) and Constant-Murley shoulder function scores at postoperative 3 and 12 months.Results The 2 groups were compatible because there were no significant between-group differences in gender,age,injury laterality,Rockwood fracture typing or injury cause (P ＞ 0.05).All the patients were followed up for a mean of 10 months (from 6 to 12 months).Primary incision healing was achieved in both groups with no neural lesion.The incision length in group A (3.4 ± 0.6 cm) was significantly shorter than that in group B (8.8 ± 1.8 cm),and the blood loss in the former (40.0 ± 8.2 mL) significantly less than that in the latter (70.9 ± 9.8 mL) (P ＜ 0.05).The VAS scores and Constant-Murley shoulder function scores at postoperative 3 and 12 months in group A (respectively:2.2±1.1 and 1.1 ±0.9 points;85.5±2.1 and 98.0±3.1points) were significantly better than those in group B (respectively:3.2 ± 1.8 and 2.1 ± 1.2 points;75.0 ±4.1 and 85.1 ±2.9 points) (P ＜ 0.05).There were no obvious complications during the follow-up period in either group.Conclusions Although both arthroscopy-assisted Tightrope technique and clavicular hook plating can relieve shoulder pain in the adult patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation of Rockwood Type Ⅲ,the former shows advantages of a smaller incision,less bleeding,lower VAS scores,and reduced pain and financial cost for the patients due to no trouble of implant removal.

Objective:To explore the utility of the muscle redistribution technique (MRT) in the signal recognition of an intelligent bionic prosthesis.Methods:Between December 2016 and April 2017, 4 male patients were treated with muscle redistribution procedures. Among them, 3 were upper limb amputees of the distal 1/3 of the forearm, at the carpometacarpal joint and at the midcarpal joint. One was a lower limb amputee at the distal 1/3 of the lower leg. In each case, 4-6 muscles and tendons in the stump were transferred and the tendons were anchored in different areas of the skin. When the muscle contracted actively, the tendon pulled the skin, resulting in obvious deformation of the skin in different areas. The skin′s deformation, capacitance signal data and postoperative complications were used as indicators in the evaluations. To measure the capacitance signals the patients were asked to grip, flex and extend the wrist, and flex and extend the fingers , or dorsi- and plantar-flex the ankle, and flex and extend the toes. With the help of capacitance sensors the limb′s deformation was analyzed.Results:Three months after the surgery the patients were able to actively control contraction of the transferred muscle and produce skin deformation. At the final follow-up, the effective deformation rate was 80% (16/20). Two kinds of classifiers were identified by linear discriminant analysis and quadratic discriminant analysis. In the upper limb, the overall recognition accuracies were 97.27% and 100% respectively, and the recognition accuracy of each action was 100%. In the lower limb, the overall recognition accuracies were 95.32% and 100%, and the recognition accuracy of each action was again 100%. In one case wound healing was delayed and several dressing changes were required.Conclusions:MRT can effectively output motion intentions and increase the number and intensity of motion signals. The procedure provides a novel way for better control of intelligent bionic prostheses.
