Male Sprague~Dawley rats were pretreated with phenobarbital and randomly divided into 6 groups and were exposed to O2,/N2/l. 2 MAC anesthetics for I hr; NC, 21 % O2/79% N2; HC, 14 %O2,/86%N2; NH, 21 %O2/79% N2/l. 2 MAC halothane;HH, 14 %O2/86 %N2/ 1. 2 MAC Halothane; NS, 21 %O2/79%N2/ 1. 2 MAC sevoflurane; HS, 14 %O2/86 %N2/ 1. 2 MAC sevoflurnae. Liver specimens andblood were taken 24 hrs after exposure. Thenecrosls and denaturatlon of hepatocellularwere quantltatlvely estlmated by stereoscopy.Ultrastructural morphology was analysed by computer. The liver ofall rats given halothane (14%O2) had extensive centrilobu- lar necrosls and denaltlration. There were an increase in serum glutamic pyruvic transmi- nase accompnaying the morphologic damage。No marked hepatotoxicity was foundin the rats following sevoflurane expoure compared with controls. Hypoxia was the main cause of swelling of mltochondria. Results suggest that sevoflurane has less hepattc injtry than holotnane.

To clarify the difference between benign and malignant tumours of tongue on the PC-NA expression and AgNOR c0unts. Methods: Immunohistochemical and AgNOR stainings were carriedout to detect the PCNA expressi0n and to count AgNOR particles in 14 cases of papillomas and 36 cases ofsquamous cell carcinomas of tongue. Results: The positive index(PI) of PCNA was 7. 15 ? 1. 32 in papillo-mas and 24. 28? 2. 47 in squamous cell carcinomas, and there was a significant difference between them. Asignificant difference between low 19. 45? 15. 88, medium 22. 5 ?18. 79 and high grade carcin0mas 65. 3 ?17. 39 was also observed. The AgNOR counts were higher in squamous cell carcinomas 4. 76 ?1. 59 than inpapillomas 2. 16 ? 0. 33. There was no difference of AgNOR counts in high, medium and low grade ofsquamous cell carcinomas. Conclusion:The PCNA expression and AgNOR counts may be related to activi-ty of cell proliferation and be helpful for differentiating benign from malignant tumours of tongue. In addi-tion, the former may be helpful for grading malignancy.

Objective To explore the impact of partial or complete rupture of the tibiofibular syndesmosis on the biomechanical properties of the ankle joint.Methods Six fresh cadaveric specimens of adult ankle were used for creation of 3 models of tibiofibular syndesmosis.In model A,the medial and lateral ligaments of the ankle joint and the tibiofihular syndesmosis were intact.In model B,only the anterior lower tibiofibular ligament was broken.In model C,all inferior tibiofibular ligaments were broken.The 3 models were tested with an electronic pressure sensor in a BOSE material testing machine respectively at 5 positions:10° dorsal extension,20° inversion,20° eversion,20° plantar flexion,and neutral position.The peak values and locations of the compressive stresses of the 3 models at 5 positions were recorded.All the data were collected and analyzed using IBM SPSS 22.0 statistical software.Results Model A exhibited the smallest average stress at all the 5 positions,followed by model B and model C,with significant differences between groups (P < 0.05).The locations of main compressive stress at the neutral position,10° dorsal extension,and 20° plantar flexion in model B and model C tended to expand outwards compared with model A,especially in model C.Conclusions Rupture of the anterior lower tibiofibular ligament and inferior tibiofibular ligaments may increase the compressive stress on the ankle joint,especially rupture of the inferior tibiofibular ligaments.The location of main compressive stress tends to expand outwards when the anterior lower tibiofibular ligament and inferior tibiofihular ligaments are broken,especially the inferior tibiofibular ligaments.

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the hepatotoxicity of Halothane and altered hepatic calcium homeostasis in enzyme-induced hypoxic rats by means of Ca2+ cytochemistry location and EDX microanalysis combined with micropathological stereology of liver and ultrastructural analysis by computer. The results showed that more calcium precipitated the cytoplasm and mitochondria of liver following Halothane exposure than the controls. Based on the experiments, this alteration appeared to be contributed to the accelerated uptake of Ca2+ by the hepatocytes and lessened to pump out the decreased loaded Ca2+ on the other hand. The release of the reserved Ca2+ was increased by Halothane as compared with controls. These results suggest that a loss of regulation of cellular Ca2+ levels plays an important role in the mechanism of hepatotoxicity by Halothane exposure.

Objective:To evaluate the precise guidance of intraoperative ultrasound for closed reduction and fixation with intramedullary titanium elastic nail (TEN) in the treatment of clavicle fractures.Methods:The data of 40 patients with fresh clavicle fracture were retrospectively analyzed who had undergone closed reduction and TEN fixation under precise guidance of intraoperative ultrasound at Department of Emergency Trauma, Shandong Wendeng Osteopathic Hospital from January 2017 to March 2019. They were 25 males and 15 females, aged from 25 to 68 years (average, 52.1 years), with 27 cases on the left side and 13 on the right. Reduction and fixation of the fracture was monitored during operation to avoid iatrogenic injuries to the subclavian brachial plexus nerve, subclavian artery and vein and thoracic cavity. The Neer scoring was used at the last follow-up to assess shoulder joint function and complications were recorded.Results:Closed reduction and TEN fixation was completed uneventfully in all the 40 patients under precise guidance of intraoperative ultrasound. The operation time ranged from 20 to 56 min, averaging 36 min; the blood loss from 10 to 35 mL, averaging 22 mL. No injury occurred to the subclavian brachial plexus, subclavian artery or vein, or thoracic cavity. The 40 patients were followed up for 4 to 6 months (average, 4.8 months). All fractures achieved bony union, with no displacement or breakage of internal fixation, or fracture malunion. At the last follow-up, the shoulder joint function was good, with Neer scores ranging from 85 to 95 points (average, 93.1 points).Conclusion:The precise guidance of intraoperative ultrasound improves surgical accuracy and safety, making the closed reduction and TEN fixation a safe and minimally invasive treatment for clavicle fractures.

BACKGROUND:Simple pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar fractures has better outcomes, but there are some deficiencies, such as poor applicability for severe compression or burst fractures, strong vertebral pain, easy to cause vertebral wound denervation and paraspinal muscle injury, and slow recovery. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effects of pedicle screw fixation combined with artificial bone graft for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. METHODS:A total of 126 patients with thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures, who had undergone pedicle screw fixation without bone graft (control group,n=62) and with bone graft (test group,n=64) were enroled. The fracture healing, anterior vertebral height ratio, sagittal Cobb angle, and loss rate of vertebral height after 6 months were observed by X-ray in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were folowed up, and had complete fracture healing after 12-16 months. The anterior vertebral height and Cobb angle were both improved in the two groups at 1 week after operation (P < 0.01), but there was no difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). New bone formation was observed in the test group at 6 months after operation, and patients were pain-free; but the speed of bone formation was slower in the control group, and patients stil suffered from painful thoracolumbar fractures. There was no difference in the loss of anterior vertebral height and Cobb angle between the two groups (P> 0.05). These findings indicate that pedicle screw fixation combined with artificial bone graft lead to a better recovery in thoracolumbar fractures.
