Objective To explore the clinical effect of conventional surgical treatment of tibial plateau fractures and traditional Chinese medicine intervention. Methods Sixty-eight patients with tibial plateau fractures who had received medical treatment from Hangzhou Cancer Hospital (May 23, 2015 to May 23, 2016) were randomized to the surgical group and the combined group as the subjects of this study. 34 patients in the operation group were treated with surgical treatment. 34 patients in the combined group were treated with traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of operation. The clinical efficacy and knee function scores of the patients with tibial plateau fractures were compared. Results The total effective rate was 91.18% in the combined group, which was significantly higher than that in the operation group (73.53%) (P<0.05). The knee function score of the combined group was (25.36±3.85) The operation group (21.24 ± 3.89) was significantly higher (P<0.05). Conclusion The intervention of traditional Chinese medicine combined with traditional Chinese medicine can significantly improve the function of knee joint in patients with tibial plateau fractures.

This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of solution form of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on removing smear layer of root canals at different exposure time periods and to provide scientific basis for EDTA as a choice of root canal irrigation in clinical practice. Twenty-five single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group (group A) was given 2.5% NaOCl, and 4 experimental groups were given 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA, including groups B, C, D and E with exposure time of 1, 3, 5 and 7 min, respectively. After preparation of the root canals, the teeth were split along their longitudinal axis, and the root sections were examined under scanning electron microscope for evaluation of smear layer removal and erosion on the surface of the root canal walls. The specimens in group B showed presence of smear layer on the walls of the root canal with no statistical difference from that in group A (P>0.05). In groups C and D, partial removal of smear layer was obtained, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05), but there was significant difference in removal of smear layer between group C and group B (P<0.05). Root canal walls in group E specimens showed almost complete removal of smear layer, and the removal of smear layer was significantly different from that in group D (P<0.01). There was no significant change in the structure of the surface of root canal for each sample. It was concluded that combined irrigation with 17% EDTA and 2.5% NaOCl could remove the smear layer with no significant alteration in dentinal structure when the chelating agent was applied for 7 min. At 3 and 5 min of application, partial removal of smear layer was observed and at 1 min negligible removal of smear layer was achieved.

Objective To explore the value and applicability of the activity of glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase(G-6PD) for the auxiliary diagnosis of thalassemia.Methods Nine hundred and forty samples verified by the agar gel hemoglobin electrophoresis and(or) gene diagnosis,blood count measurement,serum ferritin and G-6PD activity test were divided into 3 groups [820 cases of thalassemia in group A;40 cases of iron deficiency anemia(IDA) in group B;80 cases normal control group in group C] and the G-6PD activities of them were analyzed statistically.Results The activity of G-6PD of those samples were(35.23?7.11),(34.95?10.72),(26.64?10.85),(23.86?7.68),(19.89?5.99),(18.65?6.67),(16.75?5.49) NBTU respectively in HbH disease,?-thalassemia major,?-thalassemia intermedia,IDA,?-thalassemia minor,? combine with ?-thalassemia,?-thalassemia trait,there were significant differences compared with normal control group(Pa0.05).Conclusions G-6PD activity increase in both thalassemia and IDA group,it can be used in auxiliary diagnosis of thalassemia but had its serviceable range.It′s suitable for the auxiliary diagnosis of HbH disease and ?-thalassemia major,but not for the discrimination of gene category in thalassemia.

Objective To investigate the effects of exogenous hydrogen sulfide on brain edema and injury and their mechanisms. Methods Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, an ischemia-reperfusion group, a 30 ppm hydrogen sulfide group, and a 60 ppm hydrogen sulfide group (n =15 in each group; 1 ppm =1 mg/L). A model of focal cerebral ischemia for 2 h and reperfusion for 24 h was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion. The neurological scores were observed after 24 h cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. The cerebral infarction volume, the degree of brain edema, and the changes of blood-brain barrier permeability were measured. Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of occludin and zonula occludens-1 protein (ZO-1) in ischemic penumbra. Results Compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group, the neurological function scores in the 30 ppm and 60 ppm hydrogen sulfide group significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner (al P <0.05) and the neurological deficits and infarct volume reduced (al P < 0.05), and the
brain edema aleviated (al P < 0.05). The content of Evans blue in the ischemic brain tissue in the ischemia-reperfusion group increased significantly compare with the sham operation group (0.74 ±0.14 μg/100 mg vs. 0.19 ±0.06 μg/100 mg; P <0.05). The content of Evans blue in the brain tissue in the 30 ppm hydrogen sulfide group (0.55 ±0.10 μg/100 mg ) and the 60 ppm hydrogen sulfide group (0.35 ±0.08 μg/100 mg ) decreased significantly compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group (al P < 0.05), among them the 60 ppm hydrogen sulfide group was significantly lower than the 30 ppm hydrogen sulfide group (P <0.05). Western blot analysis showed that expression levels of occludin in penumbra (0.621% ±0.101% vs.0.787% ±0.087% vs.0.453% ± 0.127%; P <0.05) and ZO-1 (0.602% ±0.118% vs.0.778% ±0.805% vs.0.426% ±0.146; P <0.05) in the 30 ppm and 60 ppm hydrogen sulfide groups increased significantly compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group, among them, the expression levels of occludin and ZO-1 in the 60 ppm hydrogen sulfide group were significantly higher than those in the 30 ppm hydrogen sulfide group (al P < 0.05). Conclusions Inhalation of exogenous hydrogen sulfide can significantly attenuate brain edema after ischemia-reperfusion in a dose dependent manner, reduce infarct volume, and improve neurological function.Their mechanisms may be associated with inhibiting the downregulated expressions of occludin and ZO-1 and maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.

AlM: To compare the results of 4 methods for measuring angle of exodeviation in the three types of intermittent exotropia, including when looking at indoor distance target of 6m, looking at indoor distance target of 30m, looking at outdoor far distance target, after 1h diagnostic occlusion test.
METHODS: Prospective case series study. Sixty-five patients with intermittent exotropia between June 2013 and June 2014 were enrolled in the Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hospital to Qingdao University, included 37 males and 28 females with average age ( 12. 5 ± 6. 2 ) years. All the patients were measured when looking at indoor distance target of 6m, looking at indoor distance target of 30m, looking at outdoor far distance target, after 1h diagnostic occlusion test. lntermittent exotropia was divided into basic type, convergence insufficiency type and divergence excess type, which was based on the different result of between the distance and near measurements. The One-way test was applied to analyze the four methods of measuring angle of exodeviation in the three types of intermittent exotropia. LSD - t test was applied to compare the differences between each two methods in each type.
RESULTS: The distance exodeviations tested with looking at indoor distance target of 6m, looking at indoor distance target of 30m , looking at outdoor far distance target, after 1h diagnostic occlusion test were basic type (45. 4 ± 21. 0, 55. 0 ± 15. 0, 64. 68 ± 17. 7, 68. 75 ± 16. 6PD), convergence insufficiency type (33. 3 ± 14. 0, 44. 9 ± 12. 9, 43. 6±11. 8, 54. 6±11. 2PD), divergence excess type (55. 6± 17.4, 66.3±18.8, 76.9±16.4, 78.1±15.6PD). There were obviously differences between each two methods in each type ( basic type F = 9. 649, P = 0. 00; convergence insufficiency type F=6. 886, P=0. 001; divergence excess type F = 7. 989, P = 0. 00 ). Compared with looking at indoor distance target of 30m, looking at outdoor far distance target ( basic type P=0. 044, divergence excess type P = 0. 048 ) and after 1h diagnostic occlusion test (basic type P=0. 04, divergence excess type P=0. 027) had the statistical difference in the basic type and divergence excess type, and there was no obviously difference between looking at outdoor far distance target and after 1h diagnostic occlusion test ( basic type P=0. 353, divergence excess type P=0. 815). Compared with the other three measurements, 1h diagnostic occlusion test can elicit larger angle of deviation in the convergence insufficiency type.
CONCLUSlON: Both measurement with looking at outdoor far distance target and after 1h diagnostic occlusion test can elicit the larger angle of deviation in the basic type and divergence excess type; The measurement with after 1 hour diagnostic occlusion test can elicit the larger angle of deviation in the convergence insufficiency type.

Objective Through analyzing the epidemic characteristics and laws of human brucellosis in Gansu province during the past two years,to provide the basis for control of the disease. Methods Using China Information System for Diseases Control and Prevention V2.0 and survey data of human brucellosis outbreak,we calculated the incidence of brucellosis and the composition of new cases and chronic cases in 2009 and 2010, respectively, and analyzed the three distributions of the disease. Results Brucellosis incidence was 0.37 per million in 2009, and 1.7 per million in 2010. The new cases accounted for 54.6％(83/152) and 51.8％(43/83),and chronic cases were 53.3％ (81/152) and 56.6％ (47/83), respectively. About 1/3 of the counties (cities,districts) was found to be with the disease, and most cases were clustered in Hexi Corridor and Longdong area of Gansu province. There were three counties with outbreak. Time distribution of the disease was jagged. May, July,September and December were high, with September the highest. Sex ratio was 3 : 1, and mean age was 46 years old.67.7％ (159/235) of cases were farmers, followed by retired officers and herders, with a percentage of about 7％,respectively. Conclusions Epidemic of human brucellosis shows a rapidly rising trend in Gansu province. There are new patients throughout the year, and young farmers are the main victims. A high proportion of chronic brucellosis is more harmful. Strengthen the prevention and control of the disease to increase their brucellosis protective awareness.
