BACKGROUND:Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures in older adults. The surgical treatment methods include artificial joint replacement (total hip and femoral head replacement) and internal fixation (proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and dynamic hip screw), but there is no clear evidence to evaluate the effect of them. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect difference of arthroplasty and internal fixation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly people. METHODS:We retrieved randomized controled studies on artificial joint replacement (total hip and femoral head replacement) and internal fixation (proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and dynamic hip screw) in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture from 1990 to 2015. Meta-analysis was used to compare operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, one-year postoperative Harris hip scores, and one-year postoperative complication between the arthroplasty and internal fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Twenty-one studies were included. (2) Intraoperative bleeding volume and one-year postoperative Harris hip scores were higher in the arthroplasty group than in the internal fixation group. (3) Operation time was similar between the arthroplasty and internal fixation groups. (4) Complication rate was lower in the arthroplasty group than in the internal fixation group. Incidence of complications was closed between the arthroplasty and internal fixation groups. (5) Results suggested that the effect of arthroplasty was better than internal fixation for treating intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. However, prospective large-sample long-term randomized controled trials are needed for verification.

There are reports about the chemical compounds of Ciwujia herbs, but with no study report about the chemical material basis of Ciwujia injection (CWJI). In this study, LC-MS(n) and LC-Q-TOF-MS techniques were adopted for a qualitative analysis on phenylpropanoids in CWJI. The Ultmate XB-C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) was adopted and eluted with the mobile phase of 0.5% formic acid-water and acetonitrile, with the flow rate at 0.8 mL x min(-1) and the column temperature at 20 degrees C. Based on the data of high-resolution and multi-stage MS, control products and literatures, altogether 54 phenylpropanoids were identified in Ciwujia Injection, including 34 phenylpropanoids, 16 ligans and 4 coumarins. Among them, 28 were reported for the first time in Ciwujia, and 14 compound structures were identified in comparison with the control products. The method established in this study could be used to simply and rapidly identify phenylpropanoids in CWJI. The findings provide scientific data for defining the chemical material basis of CWJI.

Objective To explore the related risk factors of cerebral hemorrhage complicated with stress ulcer (SU). Methods The clinical data of 1 185 patients with cerebral hemorrhage admitted to Department of Emergency Medicine of Nanjing General Hospital from March 2006 to March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether patients complicated with SU or not. Data was collected within 8 hours after admission in two groups including gender,age,amount of bleeding,the bleeding site (basal ganglia,thalamus, brainstem,brain lobe,ventricle,subarachnoid,and cerebellum),disturbance of consciousness,acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score,systolic blood pressure(SBP),history of hypertension,and history of cerebral hemorrhage. The statistically significant risk factors found using univariate analysis was selected and was analyzed to find independent risk factors with multivariate logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve)was plotted to analyze the independent risk factors and evaluate their power of test. Results 1 185 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were enrolled in the study,293 cases occurred SU,accounting for 24.7%,and 892 cases without SU,which accounted for 75.3%. As shown by univariate analysis,risk factors for cerebral hemorrhage complicated with SU included age,amount of bleeding,the bleeding site,disturbance of consciousness,APACHEⅡscore,SBP. As to the site of bleeding,brain,thalamus,brainstem hemorrhage complicated with SU were higher proportion,45.3%(43/95),39.1%(63/161),36.9%(48/130),which were significantly higher than those of the lobes of the brain 〔26.2% (33/126)〕,cerebellum 〔18.8% (15/80)〕,basal ganglia〔16.1%(78/485)〕,arachnoid the inferior vena cava 〔12.0% (13/108)〕. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that amount of bleeding 〔odds ratio (OR)=3.305,P=0.001,95%confidence interval (95%CI)2.213-48.634〕,the bleeding site (OR=1.762,P=0.008,95%CI 0.123-2.743),SBP (OR=1.223,P=0.034,95%CI 0.245-2.812) were independent risk factors of cerebral hemorrhage complicated with SU. The area under the ROC curve (AUC)of amount of bleeding and SBP were 0.846 and 0.597,suggesting that amount of bleeding has moderate diagnostic value and SBP has low diagnostic value. Conclusions Cerebral hemorrhage patients with large amount of bleeding,the bleeding site in the ventricle,thalamus or brainstem,high SBP are of great risk. We should lower blood pressure and give preventive treatment for SU as soon as possible.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical efficacy of modified Sanmiao Powder (SMP) in treating chronic uric acid nephropathy (CUAN).
METHODSNinety-four patients with CUAN were equally randomized to the treated group and the control group. Conventional treatment was given to all patients and the treated group was administered with SMP additionally for 12 weeks. Changes of symptoms were observed, and laboratory indexes, as urinary protein quantity (UPro), urinary RBC count (URBC), urinary beta2 microglobulin (beta2-M), urinary beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatine (SCr) and serum uric acid (SUA), were detected before and after treatment.
RESULTSThe total effective rate in the treated group was 87.2% (41/47), and in the control group was 61.7% (21/47), showing significant difference between groups (P < 0.01); significant improvement of UPro, URBC, beta2-M, NAG, BUN, SCr and SUA were shown in the treated group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); but in the control group, only URBC count was significantly decreased (P < 0.05), no statistically significant change of other indexes was found (P > 0.05). SUA decreased in both groups (P < 0.01), which was markedly lower in the treated group than in the control group (P < 0.05); SCr and BUN were also decreased in the treated group (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSCombined therapy of SMP and conventional Western medicine shows a favorable effect in treating CUAN. It could not only reduce SUA, but also alleviate the albuminuria and hematuria, lower the urinary levels of beta2-M and NAG to improve renal function.

Aim To determine whether membrane cytokeratin 8(CK8 )and BCRP expression cooperatively contributed to multidrug resistance(MDR)in MCF-7/MX cells.Methods MCF-7/MX cells were transfected with specific anti CK8-siRNAs and anti BCRP-siRNAs via LipofectAMINE2000.The expression of CK8 and BCRP was determined using Western blot,and membrane staining was observed by laser confocal microscopy.Sensitivity to chemical drugs was examined by Sulforhodamine B method.Results The expression levels of cell surface CK8 and BCRP were obviously reduced by siRNAs,and inhibition of CK8 and BCRP expression could effectively restore the sensitivity to drugs and reverse MDR phenotype of MCF-7/MX cells.Conclusions CK8 together with BCRP may play significant roles in conferring the multifactorial MDR phenotype of MCF-7/MX cells,but may act independently via potentially different mechanisms.Combinational approaches that target multiple drug-resistance-related molecules/pathways in cancer cells may represent more efficacious strategies to overcome MDR.
