OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effects of one-stage hemiarthroplasty in treating fresh subtrochanteric fracture combined with old femoral neck fracture.

METHODSFrom October 2003 to October 2013, 7 patients with fresh subtrochanteric fracture and old femoral neck fracture were treated with hemiarthroplasty in one stage. There were 5 males and 2 females, aged from 69 to 80 years old with an average of 74.5 years. According to the Garden classification, 2 cases were type IV and 5 cases were type V. According to the A0 classification of subtrochanteric fracture, all cases were type A1 (long oblique femoral subtrochanteric fractures). Biological coating long handle femoral prosthesis was used in the patients. The hip joint functions were assessed according to Charnley scoring system after all hemiarthroplasty.

RESULTSSeven patients were followed up from 12 to 24 months with an average of 18 months. There were 1 case with urinary system infection and 1 case with deep venous thrombosis. Of all, 5 cases recovered the walk ability at 6 months after operation and 2 cases could walk with the help of the crutch at 1 year after operation. According to Charnley scoring system to assess the hip joint function, the total Charnley scores reached 15.0±2.5, and 4 cases got an excellent results, 2 good, 1 fair.

CONCLUSIONArthroplasty through anterolateral approach can obtain satisfactory clinical effects in treating fresh subtrochanteric fracture combined with old femoral neck fracture, it has advantages of good joint stability, little pain, less complication, quickly recover, early activities on fields.

Objective: To localize the functional areas related to music processing with fMRI,and to discuss the possible neural mechanism underlying emotion experience and music therapy.Methods: Thirty healthy non-musicians underwent fMRI study.Experimental tasks included listening passively to instrumental pieces of scale,pleasant classic music and scary music(3 pieces each),which were given in block design.Conjunction analysis was performed with SPM99 to render the mean functional images.Results: Both the pleasant music and the scary music activated the neural substrates underlying affective processing;the former mainly included bilateral lateral prefrontal cortex(left advantage),the left orbitofrontal cortex,the anterior cingulate cortex,the left anterior part of insula,the right thalamus and the left lenticula;the later mainly included bilateral lateral prefrontal cortex(right advantage),bilateral orbitofrontal cortex,bilateral medial frontal gyri,bilateral anterior cingulate cortex and bilateral amygdaloid complex.Conclusion: Passively listening to pleasant and scary music could strongly activate distinct emotion processing substrates,and the positive emotion processing system activation during pleasant music listening may be one of the neural mechanisms of music therapy.

Adrenergic receptors are members of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily. Recent studies revealed that these adrenergic receptors are playing an important role in the growth and metastasis of prostate cancer cells. The expression of adrenergic receptors rises significantly in prostate cancer cells and tissues. Agonists of these receptors promote the growth and mobility of prostate cancer cells, while antagonists may suppress their proliferation, trigger their apoptosis, and inhibit their metastasis. Clinically, receptor antagonists can significantly reduce the risk of prostate cancer and improve its prognosis after androgen depravation therapy. This article presents an overview on the roles of adrenergic receptors in prostate cancer.

AIM: To investigate the effect of problem - based learning ( PBL) used in the teaching of medical students'evidence-based medicine ( EBM) .
METHODS: Five classes ( total 147 students ) were randomly selected as experimental ( PBL ) group, at the same time, another 5 classes ( total 149 students ) were also randomly selected as control group, using traditional teaching method ( lecture-based learning, LBL ) in 2010 grade. The final examination scores of the experimental group were compared with control at the end of term. In addition, all students were interviewed using self -administered questionnaire to obtain their evaluation for PBL practice. SPSS13. 0 software was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The homogeneity test in baseline survey showed that the basic characteristics between the two groups of students were no significant differences, and were comparable (P>0. 05). Final exam results showed that in addition to the scores of the EBM basic knowledge indicated no significant difference between two groups of students (P>0. 05), for the 5 steps of EBM procedure, namely, asking questions, finding the best evidence, evaluating the evidence, using and practicing the evidence, re - evaluating the evidence, and the total scores between the two groups, there were significant statistically differences (P<0. 05). The results to student learning evaluation showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05) in aspects of better understanding classroom knowledge, improving language expression ability, and writing skill exercises. And other residual items had a significant difference ( P<0. 05), especially in aspects of improving enthusiasm for learning, self - study ability, improving learning efficiency, information analysis and utilization ability, team collaboration, and communication between teachers and students, however, there was a very significant difference (P<0. 001) between the two groups.
CONCLUSION: PBL teaching mode can effectively improve teaching effectiveness and the quality of EBM teaching, so the this teaching mode is worth further popularizing.
