Objective To explore the effect of inadequate reduction of the medial wall on the postoperative varus deformity following calcaneal fracture surgery and other influencing factors of varus deformity.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 60 patients with calcaneal fracture involving the medial wall (60 feet) who had been treated from October 2005 to September 2015.They were 51 men and 9 women,18 to 55 years of age (average,38.4 years).According to the Sanders classification,24 patients belonged to type Ⅱ,30 to type Ⅲ,and 6 to type Ⅳ.We measured the integrity of the pre-and post-operative medial walls,the height and width of the pre-and post-operative calcanei,the pre-and post-operative B(o)hler angles and the pre-and post-operative calcaneal varus angles for statistical analysis.Results The effect of postoperative height reduction of the medial wall on the postoperative correction of varus angle was significantly larger than that of the lateral wall (P ＜ 0.05).The higher the integrity of the postoperative medial wall,the larger the correction of the postoperative varus angle.The normal rate of postoperative calcaneal varus angle significantly decreased with the increased Sanders classification severity (P =0.001).The postoperative reduction of the height and width of the calcaneus and the integrity of the preand post-operative medial walls were significantly positively correlated to the normal rate of postoperative calcaneal varus angle (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The medial wall has a large influence on the postoperative calcaneal varus angle.The higher integrity of the preoperative medial wall,and the more adequate reduction and fixation of the postoperative medial wall as well,the higher rate of postoperative normal calcaneal varus angle.The postoperative reduction of the calcaneal height also affects the varus angle.When the heights of the medial and lateral walls are recovered,the normal rate of varus angle is the highest;when reduction of the medial wall is inadequate but reduction of the lateral wall is fine,the normal rate of varus angle is the lowest.

Objective To investigate the value of pulmonary function tests in the diagnosis and treatment of children with refractory mycoplasmapneumoniae pneumonia.Methods The clinical data of 58 children with refractory mycoplasmapneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) from May 2015 to February 2016 were retrospectively analyzed in the Department of Paediawics, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.They have done bronchoscopy and interventional therapy in the acute phase.Pulmonary function test was performed 24 hours before bronchoscope examinations.The endoscopic manifestation and pulmonary function data were analysed in the study.According to whether the mucosa of endoscopic manifestation is complete, fifty-eight cases were divided into mild group and severe group, record the pulmonary function indexes of each of the children.Results Severe group decreased than mild group, both of large airway pulmonary function in children with acute severe MPP (FVC, FEV1, PEF) and small airway index (FEF25, FEF50, FEF75, FEF25-75％), and the difference was significant(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In the acute phase, there may be different pulmonary function,such as, expressed as a normal, performance of the restrictive or obstructive ventilation dysfunction, performance ofrnixed ventilatory dysfunction, The most common one is the change of small airway function.The more severe of the endoscopic manifestation in RMPP acute phase, the more severe the same period of pulmonary function index decreased degree.The severity of RMPP in children can be predicted by the classification and severity of pulmonary function,it can be used as an important basis for the early identification of severe MPP.Pulmonary function indicators may further guide the need for bronchoscopy intervention treatment and to evaluate the curative effect.

To compare the efficiency of methods of DNA extraction from lungs of Pomacea canaliculataused in PCR assay, 80 P.canaliculata collected in field were divided into 8 groups and the lungs of each snail were separated from the soft body. Six methods of DNA extraction from lungs of P. canaliculata were used to extract DNA from lungs, i.e. With Qiagen, Tiangen,and Omega commercial DNA extraction kits, guanidine thiocyanate method, Chelex 100 resin method and Chelex-silica particle method. The 16S rDNA of C.canaliculata was amplified by PCR and the concentration of PCR-products relative to marker was determined in order to evaluate the efficiency of each method. It was demonstrated that each method was valid to extract DNA from lungs used in PCR assay, but the concentrations of PCR-products were different. The concentrations of PCR-products obtained by Qiangen kit, Omega kit, Chelex 100 resin method and Chelex-silica particle method were significantly higher than those of other 4 methods of DNA extraction, in which Qiangen and Omega kits were suitable for small sample size. In term of efficiency and cost, Chelex 100 method and Chelex-silica particle method were feasible for large sample scale, while the guanidine thiocyanate method was preferred due to its fast extraction and low cost, but on account of its toxicity, it is used in urgent status or in large scale of sample extraction.
