Objective To discuss the clinical effects of external fixator combined with limited internal fixation in treatment of serious comminuted distal radius fractures. Methods 35 patients with serious comminuted distal radius fractures were treated by external fixator combined with limited internal fixation from January 2001 to May 2004. There were 16 males and 9 females with an average age of 47.3 years. According to AO/ASIF classification, 9 fractures were A3 type, 9 C2, and 17 C3. Reduction was achieved and maintained in 27 cases by longitudinal traction and external fixation, 5 by external fixator with percutaneous K-wire, and 3 by external fixatator combined with ulnar limited internal fixation. Results All the patients were followed up from 5 months to 30 months (12 months on average). According to the anatomical alignment, 9 were excellent, 24 good, and 2 fair. It was necessary to restore the anatomy of distal radius both on sagittal and coronal planes in order to obtain good functions. Preoperatively, the radial inclination angle was -15? to 15?(10.5? on average), and the palmar tilt angle was -30? to 0?(-10? on average). After operation, the two angels were reduced to 20? to 35?(25? on average), and 0? to 20?(11.5? on average)respectively. The joint function was assessed by Dienst criteria, the results suggested that 12 were graded as excellent, 21 good, and 2 fair. No severe complications were found. Conclusion The treatment of serious comminuted distal radius fractures using external fixator combined with limited internal fixation is of easy performance, reliable fixation, satisfactory effect, and lower complications. It offers a new method which can obviously improve the union of the fractures and decrease the infection rate postoperatively for the treatment of the fractures of distal radius.

[Objective]To preliminarily explore the method and evaluate the effect of volar LCP fixation for dorsally displaced and unstable distal radial fractures.[Method]Thirty-five patients with the fractures were treated with volar LCP combined with the techniques of K-wires and bone grafting, whose effects were evaluated preliminarily through comparing and analyzing the volar tilt, radial inclination, radial shortening and wrist function.[Result]Followed up from 9 to 24 months (average 17months), 20 patients achieved excellent, 12 good and 2 fair with 1 poor, according to Sarmiento scale.[Conclusion]Volar LCP fixation is a safe and effective treatment for unstable and dorsally displaced distal radial fractures, which could prevent reduction lost, reduce need for bone grafting and avoid tendon irritation.

Objective To investigate the stability of lumbar column after limited selective posterior rhizotomy(LSPR) and observe the healing of exscinded laminae and the deformation of lumbar column. Methods One hundred and twenty five children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into six groups(A, B, C, D, E, F)according to the age(

Objective To evaluate the effects of external fixators combined with vascularized bone graft in treatment of talar neck fractures. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of seven patients who were treated for fractures of talar neck from January 2004 to March 2005 in our department. Of them, six were type Ⅱ and one was type Ⅲ according to the Hawkin s classification. One case was managed with closed reduction and six with open reduction and internal fixation with percutaneous cannulated screws. In addition, all the patients were treated with transarticular external fixators combined with vascularized bone graft. Bone healing, osteonecrosis and hindfoot functional recovery were documented. Results All the patients were followed up for 13 to 24 months (average, 17 months). All of them achieved bony union. According to the Maryland hindfoot scoring system, five cases were excellent and two were good. No avascular necrosis was found. One patient complicated with talar body fracture developed posttraumatic arthritis that was later managed by tibiotalar fusion. Conclusions External fixators combined with vascularized bone graft can effectively prevent avascular necrosis of the talus, but the long-term effects of this method need further observation.

Objective To investigate the levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA in different clinical stages. Methods Serum samples of 246 patients, without accepting antiviral therapy, from the second affiliated anhui medical univrsity were collected from 2012.1 to 2013.5. Among the enrolled patients, 41 cases with chronic HBV-carrier (ASC), 99 cases with chronic hepatitis B patients (CHB), 70 cases with liver cirrhosis (LC), and 36 cases with primary liver cancer (HCC) were included. Results Levels of HBsAg in the group of ASC, CHB, LC, HCC were 135 280.00 (1 788.80 ~ 51 820.00) IU / mL, 8 218.00 (1 644.60 ~ 266 700.80) IU / mL, 1 280.38 (265.70~2 375.00) IU / mL, and 925.10(135.05 ~ 2 381.8) IU / mL, respectively. Positive correlations were observed between HBsAg tire and HBV DNA levels (rs = 0.332, P = 0.000), and negative correlations were doserved between HBsAg leve and age(rs = -0.496,P = 0.000). Conclusions The level of HBsAg in serum decreased progressively from the group of ASC to CHB, LC and HCC, the positive correlation between levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA, and the negative correction between HBsAg level and age were demonstrated.

To localize and characterize the hypothetical protein CT358 in the chlamydial infected cells. CT358 gene from the Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) serovar D genome was amplified and cloned into the pGEX and pDSRedCI vectors. The recombinant plasmid pGEX-CT358 was constructed and expressed as GST fusion proteins. The GST-CT358 fusion protein was used to immunize mice to raise the antibodies, which specifically recognized CT358 without eross-reacting with other unrelated proteins. The antibodies were then used to localize the endogenous CT358 protein and determine the expression pattern in Chlamydial infected cells using an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Meanwhile, pDSRedC 1-CT358 recombinant plasmid was transfected to HeLa cells to evaluate the effect of CT358 expression on the subsequent chlamydial infection. The hypothetical protein CT358 was identified in the inclusion membrane of C. trachomatis-infected cells for the first time,and it was detected as early as 12 h after C. trachomatis infection and remained in the inclusion membrane throughout the rest of the infection cycle. Cytosolic expression of CT358 via a transgene failed to affect the subsequent ehlamydial infection. These observations together have demonstrated that CT358 is a newly identified chlamydial inclusion membrane protein, giving the potentially importance for further understanding the mechanisms of chlamydial intracellular parasitism.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathologic features of primary cutaneous CD30 positive lymphoproliferative disorders. Methods A clinical, pathological and immunohistochemical analysis was carried out in 4 cases of lymphomatoid papulosis and 5 cases of primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Results Lymphomatoid papulosis was divided into 3 subtypes, A, B and C. The lymphomatoid papulosis of subtype A was pathologically characterized by pleomorphic anaplastic large cells or Steinberg-reed cells scattered or patchly distributed among many inflammatory cells; subtype B showed pathological changes characteristic of granuloma fungoides, and manifested as a broad infiltration zone of lymphocytes in dermis with scattered small- to middle-sized atypical gyrus-like lymphocytes; subtype C was characterized by a diffuse distribution of anaplastic large cells and could clinically subside spontaneously. Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma clinically manifested as subcutaneous nodules or papules, and was pathologically characterized by large, pleomorphic, round or ellipse cells with plentiful, eosinophilic or bicolor cytoplasm, large nuclei and obvious nucleoli. The neoplastic cells characteristically expressed CD30 antigen in both lymphomatoid papulosis and primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and all the cases showed a favorable prognosis.Conclusions Primary cutaneous CD30 positive lymphoproliferative disorders are a spectrum of cutaneous T cell lymphoma with favorable prognosis, and a synthetic analysis of clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings is beneficial to the diagnosis of these entities.

Objective To establish a method for detecting cercaria of Schistosoma japonicum.Methods The loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)was used.The cercaria DNA of Schistosoma japonicum was extracted by using GeneReleaser.Four primers which recognized 6 distinct regions on the calcium-binding protein gene of cercaria of Schistosoma japonicum were designed and used for LAMP assay and Clonorchis sinensis was used as the negative control for evaluating the specificity and 20,10,5,1 cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum were amplified by LAMP for evaluating the sensitivity.The LAMP results were judged with the naked eyes and electrophoretic analysis.Results After LAMP reaction,the positive signal was observed with cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum.By contrast,no positive signal was observed for Clonorchis sinensis.The detection limit of LAMP assay was 1 cercaria of Schistosoma japonicum per reaction.Conclusion LAMP assay has usefulness for rapid detection of cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of Sanhuang decoction combined with compound amino acid liposome healing membrane on treatment stage Ⅲ pressure ulcer. METHODS:According to the random number table,ninety cases of stage Ⅲ pres-sure ulcer were divided into control group A,control group B,and experimental group with 30 cases in each group. On the basis of the basic processing for each group,control group A was treated by dressing change with Sanhuang decoction only,control group B by dressing change with compound amino acid liposome healing membrane only,and experimental group by dressing change with Sanhuang decoction combined with compound amino acid liposome healing membrane. The results of treatment were observed and the curative effects were compared among 3 groups after 21 days or pressure ulcer healing. Three groups were com-pared with chi-square test and each two groups were compared with chi-square segmentation method. RESULTS:There was no dif-ference on total curative effect in control group A(62.1%)and control group B(66.7%)(P>0.05),however,there was statistical significance on total curative effect in experimental group(93.3%)and control group A(P<0.05),also in experimental group and control group B(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The effect of Sanhuang decoction combined with compound amino acid liposome healing membrane on treatment of stage Ⅲ pressure ulcer is better than the effect of dressing change with Sanhuang decoction only or compound amino acid liposome healing membrane only,and the healing time of wound is shortened. This research is deserved further study.
