OBJECTIVETo study clinical effects of inversive LISS (less invasive stabilization system, LISS) plate combined with steel wire for the treatment of Seinsheimer type V subtrochanteric femoral fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2009 to Janurary 2012, 11 patients with Seinsheimer type V subtrochanteric femoral fractures were treated with inversive LISS plate combined with steel wire, including 8 males and 3 females, ranging in age from 35 to 61 years old (averaged, 51 years old). Causes of injury: 8 patients caused by accident and 3 patients caused by falling down. According to X-ray examination, all the patients were type V subtrochanteric femoral fractures and were treated with LISS plate combined with steel wire. Merle d'Aubigne scores were used to evaluate therapeutic effects on hip.

RESULTSThe mean period of follow-up was 16 months (ranged, 12 to 28 months). All the patients obtained bone union for average 3.8 months (ranged from 3 to 4.3 months). There were no complications such as deep infection,deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and bone nonunion. According to Merle d'Aubigne scores, 7 patients got an excellent result and 4 good.

CONCLUSIONInversive LISS plate combined with steel wire for the treatment of Seinsheimer type V subtrochanteric femoral fractures is satisfactory, Which can provide stable fixation for fracture end and provide an ideal internal fixation method for treatment of this kind of fractures in the future.

Objective To study the incidence and prognosis of avascular necrosis of femoral head after internal fixation of femoral neck fractures. Methods 137 cases of femoral neck fracture treated with internal fixation between January 1993 and December 1999 were evaluated retrospectively. The average age was 49.1 years ( range, 17-77 years ). According to Garden classification, 4 cases were of stageⅠ; 23 of Ⅱ; 71 of Ⅲ; 38 of Ⅳ. One case could not be classified. The mean duration of follow-up was 49.1 months with a range from 14 to 95 months. Results Until January 2001, avascular necrosis of the femoral head was found in 51 cases (37.2%), among them late collapse occurred in 33 cases (24.1%). Avascular changes of the femoral head were found within 5 years after injury in most of the cases. The common clinical findings in the patients with avascular necrosis were: limited motion, limp and pain. Even if segmental collapse developed, about 30% patients had no complaint of pain, but the average Harris score was obviously lower than that of the patients without collapse. Statistical results showed that the related factors influencing the prognosis of avascular necrosis and late collapse were: degree of displacement of the fracture and quality of reduction. The location and extent of necrotic area were markably related to the development of late collapse. Conclusion Follow-up after operation of femoral neck fracture is important, it should be taken at least for 5 years. Close and thoughtful examination is recommended, especially in the 2nd to 3rd year after injury.

We present the binding ability of a new peptide (CMPQVMPMC-) with dental enamel after being evaluated in the present study. Under a standard procedure, the recovery of M13 filamentous phage was greatly enhanced by displaying the peptide in phage coat protein p III. Then the cyclic peptide was synthesized using a solid method. The effect of the cyclic peptide in vitro biomineralization was tested in a single-diffusion microtiter plate gel system. Absorbance at 405 nm of each sample was recorded for 24 h at every 6 h intervals. The relatively increased values of each sample were expressed as percentages relative to the blank group (100%). The cyclic peptide resulted in a concentration-dependent delayed nucleation. In addition, the overall values of peptide groups at the end of 24 h were lower than those in the control group but much higher than those in the BSA control group.

Objective To study the effect of dexmedetomidine on perioperative stress reaction and postoperative cellular immunity of patients with breast cancer radical surgery.Methods We selected 108 cases of breast cancer patients undergoing elective radical surgery under general anesthesia in our hospital from Janu-ary 2012 to June 2015.These patients were divided into dexmedetomidine group (group D)and the control group (group C)by random number table method,54 cases in each group.Patients in group D were given dexmedetomidine 1.0 μg/kg by intravenous drip within 15 min before anesthesia and maintained 0.5 μg.kg -1 .h -1 after anesthesia induction intubation until operation finish.Patients in group C were given the same capacity of normal saline instead of dexmedetomidine,and the rest of the anesthesia was same as group D.The plasma norepinephrine (NE)and epinephrine (E)and cortisol (COR),serum interleukin-6 and T lymphocyte subsets (CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 +,CD4 +/CD8 +)and NK cells levels were determined before anes-thesia (T0 ),postoperative 4 h (T1 ),1 d (T2 ),3 d (T3 ),and 7 d (T4 ).Results The level of plasma NE, E,COR and serum IL-6 of the D group in different time had no statistical significance compared with T0 time (P ﹥ 0.05).The plasma level of E and NE in T1 -T3 ,plasma COR in T2-T3 and serum IL-6 in T2-T4 of the C group were increased significantly (P ﹤ 0.05).The level of plasma E and NE in T1 -T3 ,plasma COR in T2-T3 and serum IL-6 in T2-T4 of the D group were decreased significantly compared with C group (P ﹤ 0.05).The level of CD3 + and NK cells in T1 -T3 of the two groups decreased significantly compared with T0 (P ﹤ 0.05).The level of NK and CD3 + in T1 -T3 and CD4 +,CD4 +/CD8 + in T2-T3 of group D increased significantly com-pared with group C (P ﹤ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine of intravenous drip during general anesthesia can effectively reduce stress reaction in perioperative period of breast cancer patients,and improve patients immune status.

Objective To explore the clinical values of combined detection of serum CA125, CA72-4 and HE4 levels in the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Methods The serum levels of CA125, CA72-4 and HE4 in 111 patients with ovarian cancer, 130 patients with benign ovarian disease and 90 healthy female controls were measured by electrochemical luminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. The diagnostic values of the three markers were analyzed separately and combinedly in ovarian cancer. Results The serum levels of CA125, CA72-4 and HE4 of ovarian cancer patients were significantly higher than those of benign ovarian disease patients and healthy controls(Ps ＜ 0. 01). The positive expression rate of HE4(63.5%) in patients with stage Ⅰ ovarian cancer was significantly higher than that of CA125(55. 8%) and CA72-4 (42. 6%)(Ps ＜ 0. 05) . The combined detection of the three markers may improve the overall accuracy of the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer to 75.8%. The diagnostic sensitivity of serum CA125 was relatively higher in serous cystadenocarcinoma, endometrioid carcinoma and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma; the diagnostic sensitivity of serum CA72-4 was relatively higher in mucinous cystadenocarcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma; the diagnostic sensitivity of serum HE4 was relatively higher in serous cystadenocarcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma. Conclusion CA125 can serve as the first choice of tumor maker in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, and the combined detection of serum levels of CA125, CA72-4 and HE4 may increase the diagnostic sensitivity of stage Ⅰ ovarian cancer.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of aminoguanidine(AG) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion damage in rats. Methods The intravascular thread models with 2 h of occlusion and 22 h of reperfusion were made in the rats.The brain infarction size and the degree of blood brain barrier(BBB) disruption in the ischemic regions were evaluated by staining with 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride and observing with Evans blue fluorescence microscope.HE staining was utilized for observing neutrophil infiltration. Results The brain infarction(volume,) the area of BBB disruption and the degree of neutrophil infiltration were dramatically decreased in the treatment group as compared to the control group(P

Arsenic trioxide albumin microspheres (As2O3-BSA-NS) were prepared by using methods of chemical cross-linking. The desirability function (DF), calculated according to the size (<1 microm) distribution, drug loading and drug trapping efficiency, was introduced as a total index for the microspheres formulation. Four factors, inculding W/O ratio, decentralization speed, BSA concentration and stirring stabilization time, were selected and arranged in an orthogonal experimental table. The release characteristic was studied by the drug release experiment in vitro. The four factors affected DF differently. Decentralization speed behaved as the maximum (P<0.01), followed by BSA concentration (P<0.05) and the W/O ratio dose (P<0.05). Stirring stabilization time did not influence DF (P>0.05). The release experiment in vitro showed that As2O3 in As2O3-BSA-NS was released more slower than pure As2O3. It was concluded that regular As2O3-BSA-NS may be prepared by the methods of chemical cross-linking, which was optimized by orthogonal experimental analysis of different factors, and the microspheres can release As2O3 slowly.

Due to an overall high incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and the emergence of drug-resistant TB, the role of surgical treatment is likely to be expanding. This review discusses the use of surgery in the treatment of TB, including surgical indications, timing of surgery and preoperative management, type of operations, and postoperative anti-TB treatment.

In order to study T-bet function in mouse cells, a novel retroviral vector expressing mouse T-bet and reporter gene Thy1.1 was constructed. Retrovirus particles were then produced by transfection of the recombinant retroviral plasmid into a packaging cell line Platinum-E. The recombinant retrovirus played considerable infection ability. T-bet expression was then identified by FACS after infection of CD4+ primary T cells from T-bet knockout mouse with recombinant retrovirus. To determine if exogenous expressing T-bet has normal function, we checked the expression level of T-bet target gene, Ifng. IFN-y expression was upregulated in the T-bet knockout T cells infected with recombinant retrovirus. In conclusion, we successfully constructed an effective mouse T-bet recombinant retroviral vector.
