OBJECTIVETo study the applied value of double joystick technique in reduction-internal fixation for femoral shaft fracture in adults.

METHODSThirty-four patients (24 males and 10 females) with femoral shaft fractures were treated with reduction assisted by double joystick technique and internal fixation with interlocking intramedullary nail from September 2010 to June 2013. The average age of the patients was 41 years old, ranged from 17 to 65 years old. The duration of the disease course ranged from 3 to 7 days, with a mean of 5 days. The fractures belonged to AO types 32A (5 cases), 32B (20 cases) and 32C (9 cases) and located in left femur for 18 patients and right femur for 16 patients. The patients were followed up, and fracture healing and complications were observed. The curative effect were evaluated according to Thorsen femur fracture evaluation standard.

RESULTSThe operative time ranged from 40 to 110 min (mean 75 min) and intraoperative blood loss ranged from 200 to 300 ml (mean 250 ml). All the patients obtained a good fracture reduction and were followed up for 12 to 24 months (mean 18 months) after the surgery. All the fractures united between 4 and 8 months with a mean of 5 months. No complications such as breakage of nail, infection, osteofascial compartment syndrome, refracture and fracture malunion were found. According to Thorsen femur fracture evaluation standard, 30 patients obtained an excellent result, 3 good and 1 fair.

CONCLUSIONIn surgery of reduction-internal fixation for femoral shaft fracture in adults, the use of double joystick technique obtains good reduction result, short operative time, less injury, high healing rate of bone fractures, less complications and good limbs function, so it is worthy of popularizing in clinic.

Objective To evaluate mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treating superior segmental ureteral calculi. Methods Two Hundred and thirty-six patients underwent mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy with holmium laser for superior segmental ureteral calculi from May 2005 to May 2008, 133 male and 103 female. Their age ranged from 17 to 76 years old with a mean of 47. 2 years. Of the 236 patients,141 compli-cated with calculi in the left side and 88 cases in the right side,7 in the both sides. The calculi diameter ranged from 0. 7 cm to 2.2 cm and the mean diameter was 1.4 cm. One hundred and ninety-three patients had undergone ESWL from 1～6 times. Results Of the 236 patients,217 were rendered stone-free at 1 pro-cedure. Residual calculi were found in 12 cases after operation and drugs were used for treatment. The resid-ual calculi were removed after 1 month. Seven cases with residual calculi were treated by ESWL and the cal-culi were removed. The total stone clearance was 91.9%. The mean operation time was 31.3 min(rang from 19～52 min), and the mean hospital stay was 9.5 days(rang from 6 to 12 days). The main complications following operation included: durative hematuria in 25 cases relieved by haemostasis and diuresis treatment within 24 to 48 hours,pnstoperative fever in 141 cases within 24 hours of which 103 were relieved by antiin-flammatory and fluid replacement treatment within 24 to 48 hours. Thirty-eight cases were relieved by anti-inflammatory treatwent depending on urine culture results within 3 to 7 days. The postoperative pain in all patients was light. Conclusion Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy with holmium laser under ultrasound guidance is simple,safe and effective in treating proximal ureteral calculi.

Objective To understand epidemic data and provide evidence for prevention and control of infectious diseases in Yongchuan area .Methods We collected the clinical materials of patients hospitalized during January 2008 to December 2012 ,and retrospectively analyzed the spectrum ,classification and epidemic tendency of infectious diseases in a hospital .Results A total of 4 632 patients were admitted to the department of infectious disease .The top two diseases were always hepatitis B virus infection related diseases and tuberculosis .Fatality mainly also appeared in end-stage liver diseases and tuberculosis .Morbidity of measles and mumps increased obviously in recent years .Hand-foot-mouth disease and influenza A(H1N1) were epidemic in this area .Conclusion The main infectious diseases in Yongchuan area are hepatitis B virus infection related diseases and tuberculosis ,which still are the important points for control and prevention .Also we should strengthen prevention of other infectious diseases such as hand-foot-mouth disease ,H1N1 and the mumps in order to decrease the occurrence of these infectious diseases .

Objective To study the safety and feasibility of tubeless percutaneous nephrostolithotomy by hemostasis gel closure of mini-percutaneous renal-channel.Methods Eighty patients after conventional percutaneous nephrostolithotomy are selected and divided into two groups according to the principle of randomization.Control group adopts conventional percutaneous nephrostolithotomy calculi lithotripsy with renal pelvis drainage tube placement whereas the experimental group adopts tubeless percutaneous nephrostolithotomy by hemostasis gel closure of mini-percutaneous renal channel.Both experimental group and control group will be scientifically and statistically analyzed via the incidence and the dose of using sedative for alleviating pain after operation,hospital stay,level of hemoglobin,and the occurrence of complications such as continuate hemorrhage,infection,urinary extravasation,etc.Results The operation of both groups are successful in phrase Ⅰ.The incidence and the dose of using sedative in control group are obviously higher than that in experimental group(45％ vs 20％).However,the incidence of postoperative complications like infection and hemorrhage and hospital stay between two groups are undifferentiated in statistics(P ＞ 0.05).Neither the experimental group nor the control group has perinephric hematoma,and seven cases of control group have urinary leakage after remove of fistula.Conclusion Tubeless percutaneous nephrostolithotomy by hemostasis gel closure of mini-percutaneous renal-channel is safe and feasible and it can reduce the incidence of postoperative pain and avoid urinary leakage.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy of internal fixation (including PFNA and PFN) versus hip replacement (including FHR or THA) in the treatment of trochanteric fractures in adults.

METHODSReports of studies using randomized controlled trials (RCT) to compare internal fixationg with hip replacement in the management of intertrochanteric fractures were retrieved (up to January 1, 2013) from the Cochrane Library, PUBMED Data, CNKI (China National Knowledge infrastructure), Elsevier, the Chinese Biomedical Database, Wanfang Data, and manually. Methodological quality of the trials was critically assessed, and relevant data were extracted. Statistical software RevMan 5.0 was used for data-analysis.

RESULTSSeven articles were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that,compared internal fixation with hip replacement,there were statistical significance in the duration of surgery time [WMD = -2.66, 95% CI (-5.25,-0.06), P = 0.05], intra-operative blood loss [WMD = -24.20, 95% CI (-30.38, -18.02), P < 0.000 01], hospital stays time [WMD = -4.72, 95% CI (-5.18, -4.25), P < 0.000 01], bearing load time [WMD = -29.54, 95% CI (-30.77, -28.31), P < 0.000 01], total complications rate [WMD = 0.15, 95% CI (0.11, 0.22), P < 0.000 01], the good rate of Harris scores [WMD = 1.09, 95% CI (0.54,1.32), P < 0.05]. However, there were no statistical significance in the rate of deep venous thrombosis [WMD = 1.09, 95% CI (0.47, 2.55), P > 0.05]. CON- CLUSION: Hip replacement (containing FHR or THA) for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures is superior to internal fixa- tion in regards to the duration of surgery time, the mean duration of hosipital stays, mean post-operative down time, intra-opera- tive blood loss, the rate of post-operative good Harris scores. But there is not enough evidence to show any difference between hip replacement (containing THA or FHR) and internal fixation in regards to the rate of deep venous thrombosis. However, internal fixation for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures is superior to hip replacement (containing FHR or THA) in regards to total complications rate.
