OBJECTIVETo compare clinical efficacy of anatomic locking plate and Gamma nail in treating unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures with external wall fractures.

METHODSFrom June 2010 to June 2014,clinical data of 44 patients with intertroehanteric fractures associated with lateral wall fractures (type 31A2.2-3.3) followed more than 12 months,which treated with Gamma nail or anatomic locking plate,were retrospective analyzed. Sixteen patients were treated with anatomic locking plate, including 6 males and 10 females aged from 32 to 83 years old with an average of 56.5 years old. Twenty-eight patients were treated with Gamma nail including 17 males and 11 females aged from 26 to 87 years old with an average of 60.4 years old. Operative time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, blood loss (intraoperative and hidden blood loss), hospital stays were observed and compared. PPMS and HHS scoring were used to evaluate postoperative clinical effect.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 12 to 24 months with an average of 16.2 months. Operative time in Gamma nail was shorter than anatomic locking plate; while blood loss( intraoperative and hidden blood loss) and intraoperative fluoroscopy times in anatomic locking plate were less than that of in Gamma nail. There was no significant meaning in hospital stays between two groups. Postoperative full weight-bearing time in anatomic locking plate was prolonged than Gamma nail. At the final following-up, PPMS in Gamma nail was 7.50 ± 1.78 and 6.82 ± 1.38 in anatomic locking plate, and there was no obvious meaning between two groups (t = 2.341, P = 0.132); there was no significant differences in HHS score between Gamma nail (83.25 ± 11.18) and anatomic locking plate (86.14 ± 12.36) (t = 1.923, P = 0.243). The incidence of complications in Gamma nail was less than anatomic lock-ing plate (P = 0.005).

CONCLUSIONAnatomic locking plate for intertrochanteric fractures with external wall fractures could avoid re-injury of external wall, especially for severe comminuted fractures, difficult for intramedullary nailing, and there was no significant meaning in hip joint function compared with Gamma nail, while postoperative incidence of complications was higher than Gamma nail, so early weight-bearing was not stress.

To determine the number average molecular mass of chitosan-oligosaccharide by u-sing the acetylacetone's method based on the color-producing reaction with amino terminal . Via the tests on the repetitiveness, accuracy and the stability, supposed this method was reliable. At the same time, the contrastive results of HPLC and the traditional K3Fe(CN)6 method indicate that the acetylacetone method was more suitable for the determination of chitosan-oligosaccharide molecular mass.

ObjectiveTo analyze the MR imaging features of epileptogenic focal cortical dysplasia (FCD)and to optimize the scanning protocols by correlating MRI appearance with pathological findings.MethodsMRI findings and the relative scanning protocols in 36 patients with surgically and pathologically proved 40 lesions of FCD were retrospectively analyzed. According to Palmini classification system,all 40 lesions were pathologically categorized as FCD type Ⅰ (including FCD Ⅰ A and FCD Ⅰ B) and FCD type Ⅱ (including FCD Ⅱ A and FCD ⅡB ). The distribution of cerebral or dual lesions accompanied hippocampal sclerosis were observed.Differences of the distribution of cerebral in FCD type Ⅰ and FCD type Ⅱ were compared by using Fisher exact probabilities. MR scans in all patients consisted of routine and optimized protocols.Axial FSE T2WI,axial SET1WI and axial FLAIR were recognized as routine scanning protocols,while adding oblique coronal FSE T2WI and FLAIR were recognized as optimization scanning protocols.Both routine and optimization scanning protocols were performed in all patients.The conspicuity of main findings of FCD on different imaging plane and sequences of each protocol were assessed.The detection of cerebral or dual lesion and the accompanied hippocampal sclerosis were compared between the routine protocol and the optimized protocol by using McNemar test.ResultsForty lesions were found in 36 cases with FCD,29 had temporal lobe lesion (72.5％ ),9 had frontal lobe lesion(22.5％ ) and 2 had parietal lobe lesion (5.0％).According to Palmini classification system,29 lesions in 27 patients (72.5％ ) were FCD type Ⅰ,11 lesions in 10 patients (27.5％) were FCD type Ⅱ lesions.There were 25 temporal lobe lesions in FCD type Ⅰ,while 4 in FCD type Ⅱ.There were statistically significant differences between FCD type Ⅰ group and FCD type Ⅱ group in the distribution of cerebral (P =0.002 ).Fourteen cases were found to have hippocampal sclerosis simultaneously,with 13 cases found in FCD type Ⅰ patients and 1 case in type Ⅱ patients.The detection rate of temporal lobe lesion was 65.5 ％ (19/29) and 44.8 ％ ( 13/29 ) respectively on optimized protocol and routine protocol.There was statistically significant difference ( x2 =4.167,P =0.031 ).The detection rate of hippocampal sclerosis was 85.7％ (12/14) and 42.9％ (6/14) respectively on optimized protocol and routine protocol respectively.There was statistically significant difference ( x2 =4.167,P =0.031 ).The detection rate of frontal lobe lesion showed no statistically significant difference between optimized protocols and routine protocols (x2 =0.304,P =1.000 ).Conclusions FCD was frequently involved the temporal lobe,followed by the frontal lobe.FCD type Ⅰ lesion was frequently found in the temporal lobe,with a higher incidence of concomitant hippocampal sclerosis. The optimized whole temporal lobe scanning with imaging plane perpendicular to the hippocampus long axis was a highly desired scanning protocol specifically for FCD,which is helpful for the detection of the FCD lesions.

Objective　To investigate the effect of positive pressure ventilation on radiosensitivity of the patients suffering from primary lung cancer. Methods　Thirty cases of lung cancer were randomly divided into two groups: ① combining therapy group: patients treated with posi tive pressure ventilation using BiPAP respirator and radiotherapy;② simple radi otherapy group. The changes of PaO2, SaO2, blood white cells and the cellula r immunological function were observed before and after treatment. Resul ts　Nasal or naso-facial positive pressure ventilation with BiPAP respi rator increased PaO2 significantly with the maximum of 7.5 kPa, SaO2 was ma inteined at above 95%. No significant change for the cellular immunological func tion was found in the combining therapy group （P>0.05）and only one patient with leukopenia（6.7%）. But in the radiotherapy group, the lymphocyte transfor mation efficiency and the ratio of CD4/CD8 were obviously decreased（P<0 .01), and leukopenia was found in 5 cases（33.3%）. Conclusion　 Nasal or naso-facial positive pressure ventilation with BiPAP respirator could improve the effect of radiotherapy for lung cancers. It could also increase PaO 2 significantly and has protective rote to the marrow and cellular immunologic al function of the patients.
