Fracture healing has long been a major concern for orthopedists.Currently,about 10% of fracture patients still have poor fracture healing or bone nonunion.In recent years,research has found that nerve growth factor(NGF)can promote fracture healing.This article reviews the mechanism and research progress of NGF in promoting fracture healing.NGF can promote vascular regeneration and nerve growth at callus and plays an important role in the proliferation and migration of bone cells.New animal experiments and clinical trials have confirmed the role of NGF in promoting fracture healing and further revealed its possible mechanism of action.Further research on NGF can provide new ideas for promoting fracture healing,especially for treating nonunion.

Objective:To analyze the effects of SBAR(namely situation, background, assessment and recommendation) communication mode-guided scenario simulation exercise on the quality of shift change of practice nurses and the incidence of nursing risks.Methods:From May 2017 to December 2018, 46 nurses interning in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Guangyuan Central Hospital were selected as the control group, and received practice guidance according to the conventional shift change mode; 46 nurses were selected as the research group having the SBAR communication mode-guided scenario simulation exercise from January 2019 to June 2020 in the same department. The evaluation results of the quality of nurses' shift change, the evaluation results of the quality of nurses' succession, and the satisfaction of nurses were compared between the two groups. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The evaluation results of 7 items of nurses' handover quality in the research group were better than those in the control group ( P<0.001). The evaluation results of 6 items of nurses' succession quality in the research group were better than those in the control group ( P<0.001). The scores of 5 dimensions in the research group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The implementation of SBAR communication mode-guided scenario simulation exercise can improve the quality of nurses' shift change and the satisfaction of practice nurses.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a kind of technique that uses fluoreseently la-beled DNA probes to assess cells for genetic alterations. UroVysion is a technique that uses FISH to detect bladder cancer in the voided urine by four fluorescently labeled DNA probes to the pericentromeric regions of chromosomes 3 ( CEP3 ) ,7 (CEPT), and 17 (CEP17) and to the 9p21 locus ( LSI 9p21 ) location of the p16 tumor suppressor gene. It is reported that sensitivity of FISH was higher than cytology for the detection of all stages and grades of bladder cancer. FDA has approved UroVysion for the detection of recurrent bladder cancer in voided urine specimens from patients with a history of bladder cancer in the year 2001 and from pa-tients with gross or microscopic hematuria but no previous history of bladder cancer in the year 2005. Fur-thermore, UroVysion can benefit the assessment of bladder cancer patients receiving BCG treatment.

An α-amylase inhibitor (α-AI) was isolated from white kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris. L) by ethanol fractional precipitation, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration column chromatography. It was a homogeneity glycoprotein demonstrated by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration on CL-6B. The glycoprotein contained 88.2% protein and was rich in aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine, threonine and serine. The carbohydrate moiety was consisted of Man, Glc, Gal and Xyl in a mole ratio of 2.42∶1.50∶1.52∶1.00. The glycan and the core protein backbone was connected by O-linkage as determined by β-elimination reaction. The continuous oral administration of the α-AI (150 mg·kg-1·d-1 ) for 7 days can lower fasting blood glucose and 300 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 α-AI for 7 days can improve the sugar tolerance on alloxan-dependent diabetic model rats. The result showed the α-AI obtained from white kidney beans had good hypoglycemic effect on alloxan induced diabetic rats and may have high potential pharmaceutical value as a regulative digestive-starch degradation in patients suffering from diabetes.

Objective To explore the influence on isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS) from lumbar vertebras facet joint orientation (FJO) variation. Methods The lumbar vertebras of 60 patients scanned by 16-slices spiral CT were collected, 30 cases with IS was defined as isthmic group;30 cases with normal lumbar vertebras was defined as control group, the FJO at L3-4, L4-5 and L5-S1 were measured in two groups. The difference between two groups were compared at three levels, the difference between both sides of the facet joint orientation also was compared;the measured data and the data of 60 patients from foreign literature were compared at three levels. Results The FJO in isthmic group were (47.9±6.3)° ,(37.5±7.3)° , (37.9±7.7)° at the right of L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 levels respectively,the FJO in control group were (53.1 ± 7.3)° , (40.5±6.3)° , (38.5±7.3)° respectively, the FJO in isthmic group were (48.1±6.0)° , (37.9 ± 7.4)° , (37.6 ± 7.6)° at the left of L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 levels respectively, the FJO in control group were (52.3 ± 7.6)° , (41.6 ± 6.0)° , (38.2 ± 7.2)° respectively. The significant difference was found at L3-4 and L4-5 levels (P < 0.05), the orientation was similar at L5-S1 level (P > 0.05). The difference between the both sides FJO of lumbar vertebras was not found at L3-4,L4-5 and L5-S1 levels (P >0.05). The same as the measured data and the corresponding data from foreign literature(P > 0.05 ). Conclusions It seems possible that the coronal FJO may be the phenotypic representation of the familial etiology of IS. It is helpful for the measurement of lumbar vertebras FJO to find IS early,it is important to reduce and release the IS.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of maxillomandibular advancement and contrarotation in the treatment of severe com-plicated multilevel obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods:1 2 patients (all males,aged 26 to 56 years) with severe complicated multilevel OSAHS were treated by orthognathic surgery methods of maxillomandibular advancement and cont-rarotation and followed up for 6 -1 2 months.Results:After surgery the symptoms of all patients,such as snoring,waking up be-cause of stoke and streaming with sweat,disappeared or were ameliorated remarkably.The AHI index declined from 51 -70 before operation to 0 -3 after operation.While sleeping,their blood oxygen saturation augmented from 30% -70.1 % presurgically to 93%-99% postsurgically,and their average blood oxygen saturation increased from 60% -72% presurgically to 95% -99% postsurgi-cally in all 1 2 patients.Conclusion:Orthognathic surgery method of maxillomandibular advancement and contrarotation is effective in the treatment of severe complicated multilevel OSAHS.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the antenatal detection of four indices of coagulation(PT,APTT, TT,FIB),D-dimer(DD)and platelet(PLT)in the judgment of parturient coagulation function and bleeding risk.Methods 795 pregnant women and childbearing age non-pregnant women with physical examination in this hospital from June 2012 to September 2013 were collected and divided into the normal pregnancy group(early pregnancy,middle pregnancy,late pregnancy,parturient pe-riod),obstetric accident group,pregnancy complicating other disease group and healthy control group.At the same time,PT, APTT,TT,FIB,DD and PLT were detected and the related statistical analysis was conducted.Results DD and FIB in the normal pregnancy group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group(P<0.05),PT and APTT were significantly low-er than those in the healthy control group(P <0.05),TT had no statistically significant difference between these two groups(P >0.05 );DD and FIB in the obstetric accident group and the pregnancy complicating other disease group were significantly higher than those in the normal pregnancy group(P <0.05),while PT was significantly lower than that in the normal pregnancy group(P <0.05).PLT in the obstetric accident group and the pregnancy complicating other disease group was significantly lower than that in the normal pregnancy group(P <0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection of 3 indices in diagnosing the ob-stetrical accidents were greatly superior to those of the single index detection or the combined detection of two indices.Conclusion The prenatal combination detection of four coagulation indices,DD and PLT can preliminarily judge the coagulation status of preg-nancy period in pregnant women,help to treat abnormal bleeding of pregnant women an possess the important guidance significance in formulating the labor scheme and preventing the occurrence of obstetric accidents.
