[Methods]Thirty total knee arthroplasties using rotating hinge prosthesis were performed in twenty-eight patients from July 1998 to July 2008.Seven patients were male and twenty-one patients were female.The average age was 62 years(42-75 years).The diagnosis included osteoarthritis in 8 patients,rheumatoid arthritis in 2 patients,traumatic arthritis in 3 patients,Paget's disease patient,serious genu valgum in 7 patients and 10 failure TKAs.All patients were followed up for 12 to 120 months.The patients were evaluated according to knee score system and the complications were observed.[Results]The pain was relieved and function was improved in all knees.The average knee pain score increased from 19.5 to 77.9,and knee function score from 22.5 to 50.5.Range of motion of knees increased from 58.4?to 72.8?.No revision was needed in all patients,The complications included anterior knee pain(8 cases),extension lag(5 cases),prosthesis broken(1 case) and patella tendon rupture(1 case).[Conclusion]The mid-term results of total knee arthroplasty using rotating hinge knee for severe knee deformity are satisfactory.Complications should be prevented carefully.

Objective To observe the efficacy of total ankle replacement in treatment of osteoarthritis of ankle joint.Methods Between October 1999 and October 2006,42 patients with ankle osteoarthritis were admitted in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital.All the patients met surgical indications and were performed total ankle replacement with S.T.A.R.system ( Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement) (Waldemar Link,Hamburg,Germany).The pain in patients,motion and function of joint were evaluated pre- and post-operatively according to Kofoed scoring system,and the efficacy was evaluated with the Mayo'evaluation criteria of total ankle replacement.Results According to Kofoed scoring system,the postoperative situation was obviously superior to the preoperative in pain,motion and function of joint(P ＜ 0.05 ),and the excellent and good rate was 90.32％.While,the excellent and good rate was 87.5％with the Mayo' evaluation criteria of total ankle replacement.Conclusion Total ankle replacement,which can relieve pain,restore ankle function and improve ankle activity,provides another effective method for the patients who need ankle arthrodesis.

PURPOSE: Acute renal graft rejection can only be definitively diagnosed by renal biopsy. However, biopsies carry a risk of renal transplant injury and loss. Micro-CT is widely used in preclinical studies of small animals. Here, we propose micro-CT could noninvasively monitor and evaluate renal location and function in a mouse kidney transplant model. METHODS: Orthotopic kidney transplantation was performed in a BALB/c -to- C57BL/6j or C57BL/6j-to- C57BL/6j mouse model. After optimizing imaging techniques, five mice were imaged with micro-CT and the findings were verified histologically. RESULTS: Micro-CT can monitor and evaluate renal location and function after orthotopic kidney transplantation. There were no mice deaths while renal transplants were failure. CONCLUSION: We propose that graft micro-CT imaging is a new option that is noninvasive and specific, and can aid in early detection and follow-up of acute renal rejection. This method is potentially useful to improve posttransplant rejection monitoring.

Objective: To understand prevention and control of infectious disease among primary schools in Xi’an. Methods: A total of 93 primary schools were selected through multi-stage stratified sampling method from 14 counties in Xi’an, then these schools are surveyed to meaure the classroom ventilation. Results: About 28.0% (26/93) of these schools met the national standard for health staffs, with 7.4%(4/54) in urban primary schools and 56.4% in rural primary schools (22/39), the difference between urban and rural areas is statistically significant(P<0.01). Urban primary schools were better than rural primary schools in morning inspection, registration and tracking for illness, verification of vaccination certificates, surveillance and reporting of epidemic outbreaks, verification of school recovery(P<0.05). The average per capita area among the 92 primary schools was (1.22±0.34) m2, with (1.08±0.26) m2 in urban primary schools and (1.42±0.33) m2 in rural primary schools, the difference between urban and rural areas was statistically significant (P<0.01). The average per capita ventilation area of 92 primary schools was (0.15±0.07) m2 with (0.13±0.04) m2 in urban primary schools and (0.19±0.08) m2 in rural primary schools, the difference between urban and rural areas was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion School-based infectious diseases prevention and control needs to be improved in Xi’an, especially in health personnel. Urban schools appear superior in the prevention and control of infectious diseases and sanitary conditions, while rural schools appear superior in student density and classroom ventilation.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of renal transplantation recipients, effective prevention and control measures. Methods A total of 456 renal transplant recipients were monitored from January 2014 to December 2017. Postoperative infection including baseline data, infection site and infectious pathogen type was analyzed. Results Among 456 renal transplant recipients, 78 cases (17.1%) developed nosocomial infection. Postoperative infection time was 9(3-21) d. Infection sites mainly included the lower respiratory tract, urinary system and blood infection. Infection pathogens consisted of Staphylococci (n=13), Enterococcus faecium (n=6), fungi (n=6), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (n=4), Acinetobacter baumannii (n=4), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=4), Staphylococcus epidermidis (n=4), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=1), Escherichia coli (n=1) and other negative bacteria (n=9). Among them, 11 cases (14%) were infected with multi-drug resistant bacteria, and 4 cases died. Conclusions In renal transplant recipients, the incidence of nosocomial infection is relatively high, with early postoperative onset, common multiple drug-resistant bacterial infection and high mortality. Preoperative preparations should be fully implemented, postoperative lower respiratory tract infection should be actively prevented and prevention and treatment measures for multidrug-resistant bacteria should be standardized.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of nosocomial infection after liver transplantation from organ donation after death of citizens,and to provide evidence for the development of effective prevention and control strategies.Methods Targeted monitoring was conducted on liver transplantation patients in a hospital from January 1,2014 to December 31,2017,and then descriptive statistical analyses were carried out on postoperative infection after liver transplantation.Results The nosocomial infection occurred in 118 cases (55.40％) among 213 cases of liver transplantation.The infection sites were lower respiratory tract,blood system,and intraabdominal infection,accounting for 40.30％,22.39％,and 19.40％,respectively.186 strains of pathogens were isolated,mainly including gram-positive cocci (including 113 strains,60.75％),followed by gram-negative bacilli (56 strains,30.11％) and fungi (17 strains,9.14％).There was significant difference in the infection of the respiratory tract,post-operative wounds and other part s (P＜(0.05).The most common pathogens were Enterococcus faecium,Staphylococcus,Klebsiella Pneumoniae,and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,accounting for 15.05％,15.05％,10.22％ and 9.69％,respectively.There was significant difference in Gram-negative Bacillus,fungi strains,Acinetobacter strains,Enterococcus faecium strains,Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and staphylococcus (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The patients after liver transplantation from organ donation after death have a high incidence of nosocomial infection.The infection was mainly distributed in the lower respiratory tract and blood system,and predominantly caused by bacteria and fungi.Infection surveillance of liver transplant patients should be strengthened and comprehensively effective prevention and control measures for nosocomial infection should be developed.

Objective To investigate the expression of centromeric protein F(CENPF)and microribonucleic acid 1-3p(miR-1-3p)in the serum of patients with advanced gastric cancer and their correlation with prognosis.Methods Sixty patients with advanced gastric cancer admitted to our hospital from March 2019 to March 2020 were collected as the study group,while 60 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations at our hospital's physical examination center during the same period were collected as the control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)method was applied to detect the expression levels of serum CENPF and miR-1-3p in each group;Pearson method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum levels of CENPF and miR-1-3p;Kaplan-Meier method was applied to analyze the relationship between the expression of CENPF,miR-1-3p,and prognosis in patients with advanced gastric cancer;and COX regression was applied to analyze risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer.Results Compared with the control group,the CENPF level in the study group was obviously increased,while the miR-1-3p level was obviously reduced(P＜0.05).The correlation analysis results showed that there was a negative correlation between serum CENPF and miR-1-3p levels in patients with advanced gastric cancer(r =-0.650,P＜0.001).There were obvious differences in CENPF and miR-1-3p levels among different TNM stages and lymph node metastasis status(P＜0.05).The 3-year survival rate of patients in the high expression group of CENPF was 19/30(63.33%),which was obviously lower than that in the low expression group,28/30(93.33%)(χ2 = 7.954,P＜0.001);the 3-year survival rate of patients in high expression group of miR-1-3p was 29/30(96.67%),which was obviously higher than that in the low expression group,18/30(60.00%)(χ2 = 11.882,P = 0.001).Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that TNM staging,lymph node metastasis,CENPF,and miR-1-3p expression were risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum CENPF level in patients with advanced gastric cancer obviously increase,while miR-1-3p level obviously decrease,both of which are related to prognosis.

Objective: To conduct a comprehensive and systematic review of the efficacy and safety of Wenxin Keli (WXKL) in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) . Methods: Seven databases (PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web ofScience, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP and SinoMed) were searched to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inceptions to 1 October, 2018. Two review authors independently assessed the methodological quality andanalyzed data by Cochrane handbook and the Rev Man 5.3 software. Begg.s test was conducted to assess publication biasvia Stata 14 software. Results: Twenty-four RCTs with 2246 patients were included in this review. Compared with blankcontrol, placebo or western medicine alone, WXKL alone or combined with western medicine could effectively reducerapid ventricular rate (MD=-7.14, 95％CI:-8.42——5.87), the frequency and duration of AF. It could also shorten thesinus rhythm conversion time (MD=-3.04, 95％CI:-3.47——2.61), increase the sinus rhythm conversion rate (RR=1.19, 95％ CI: 1.09～1.29) and decrease recurrence rate of AF (RR=0.28, 95％ CI: 0.13-0.59) . Besides, WXKL alone orcombined with western medicine was beneficial for improving the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (MD=3.44, 95％ CI: 0.87-6.01), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (MD=-2.47, 95％ CI:-2.86——2.08), left atrialdiameter (LAd) (MD=-0.91, 95％CI:-1.58——0.25) and P wave dispersion (Pd) (MD=-4.04, 95％CI:-4.15——3.93) .WXKL combined with low-dose amiodarone was superior to conventional-dose amiodarone alone in improving themaximum P wave (Pmax) (MD=-8.25, 95％ CI:-10.33——6.17), and WXKL combined with conventional-doseamiodarone is more effective (MD=-13.10, 95％CI:-13.65——12.55) . Compared with the control group, the treatmentgroup had fewer adverse reactions, and the Begg.s test did not find any publication bias. Conclusion: WXKL alone orcombined with western medicine exhibited better therapeutic effects in the treatment of AF, but these results still needhigh-quality evidence to verify.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the major influence factors of child neglect among rural areas children aged 3-6 years in China.

METHODSAccording to multi-stage stratified cluster sampling, distribution characteristics and the level of economic development, we randomly sampled 10 provinces, 26 cities (8 capital cities, 16 prefecture-level cities and 2 municipalities) using lottery method. Depending on the different level of economic and cultural, we sampled one medium county from each city (municipalities sampled two counties), a total of 28 counties. All towns were divided into high, medium and low three levels in accordance with economic and cultural, each level sampled one town, each conty sampled three towns, a total of 84 towns were sampled. Each town sampled 40 children, including 20 boys and 20 girls (including each 10 children aged 3 to 6, half and half boys and girls). 4 096 rural children aged 3-6 years old were sampled and surveyed of China. Based on "the Neglect Norms for Children Aged 3 to 6 Years Old in Rural Areas of China" explored the risk factors of child neglect. SPSS 18. 0 for windows was employed for statistics analysis. Multifactorial analysis was conducted through multivariate Logistic Regression.

RESULTSThe total neglected rate of the rural children aged 3 to 6 was 53.7% (2,047/3,810), and the total neglected degree was 44.42±7.57. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, neglected risk of the boys was higher than the girls (OR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.13-1.49), neglected risk of children were higher, when their mothers were migrant workers (OR=2.18, 95% CI: 1.59-3.00); the lower educational level of mothers, the higher neglected risk of children, the children in families that mothers only received primary education or was uneducated were most likely to be neglected (OR=2.92, 95% CI: 1.91-4.47), the second was the families that mothers received primary education (OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.29-2.69); the lower the household income, the easier to be neglected the children, the easiest one was the household income less than 5000 RMB (OR=2.85, 95% CI: 2.14-3.79), the second was 5000-9,999 RMB (OR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.40-2.20); the relationship between children and mothers was distanced, neglect risk of children was higher (OR=3.88, 95% CI: 1.31-11.52); left behind children were easier to be neglected (OR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.09-1.54).

CONCLUSIONThe influence factors among children aged 3-6 years in the rural areas of China were boys, mother's occupation, maternal education level, the relationship between children and mothers, household income and left-behind children.
