Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes between OTA/AO-C open and closed fractures of the distal humerus treated by open reduction and internal fixation.Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed of the 70 patients who had been treated at Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital for OTA/AO-C fractures of the distal humerus from January 2014 to June 2017. Of them, 22 suffered from open fractures (Gustilo types Ⅰ/Ⅱ) and 48 closed fractures. There were 18 males and 4 females with an age of (42.6±13.0) years in the open group and 21 males and 27 females with an age of (42.2±17.1) years in the closed group. Analyzed were interval from injury to surgery, hospitalization time, injury energy and functional outcomes which included range of motion (ROM) in elbow flexion and extension, ROM in elbow rotation, Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), complications and rate of secondary surgery.Results:There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in age, injury energy or interval from injury to surgery ( P>0.05), but there were significantly more males in the open group than in the closed group ( P=0.011). The follow-up time for all the patients averaged 34.0 months (from 25 to 54 months). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in hospitalization time [9.5(6.0, 13.0) d versus 8.5 (6.0, 11.0) d], ROM in flexion and extension [120.0° (100.0°, 137.8°) versus 128.5° (110.0°, 140.0°)], ROM in rotation [155.0° (151.3°, 155.0°) versus 155.0° (155.0°, 155.0°)], MEPS [95.0 (80.0, 100.0) versus 95.0 (80.0, 100.0)] or DASH [2.6 (0.63, 9.2) versus 1.7 (0.0, 8.5)] ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups either in rate of secondary surgery [36.4% (8/22) versus 33.3% (16/48)], ulnar nerve symptoms [54.5% (12/22) versus 60.4% (29/48)], local irritability in the region of internal fixation [9.1% (2/22) versus 6.3% (3/48)] or elbow stiffness [13.6% (3/22) versus 10.4% (5/48)] ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Open reduction and internal fixation can lead to similar clinical outcomes in the treatment of both open (Gustilo types Ⅰ/Ⅱ) and closed distal humeral fractures of OTA/AO-C, with no significant differences in postoperative ROM, functional scores or complications.

OBJECTIVETo explore the influences of di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and its principle metabolite mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP) on spermatogenic cell apoptosis in young male Wistar rats.
METHODSNinety-eight 2-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 14 equal groups to receive daily intragastric administration of 0.2 ml/kg normal saline for 3 weeks (normal control), 100 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (CTX) for 1 week (positive control), 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg DEHP or MEHP for 1 week, or 100 mg/kg DEHP or MEHP for 1, 2, and 3 weeks. After the treatments, the pathological changes of the testicular tissues were examined, spermatogenic cell apoptosis was detected, and serum sex hormones levels were measured using TUNEL assay or radioimmunoassays.
RESULTSCTX, DEHP, and MEHP all caused shrinkage, development retardation and quantitative reduction of spermatogenic cells with and mitochondrial swelling vacuolar changes. The damage of spermatogenic cells increased significantly with the increment of DEHP and MEHP doses and exposure time. Both DEHP and MEHP treatments resulted in significantly increased cell apoptosis index (AI) in close correlation with the exposure doses and duration (P<0.01). DEHP and MEHP treatments also significantly increased serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone and decreased testosterone levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONDEHP and MEHP can induce obvious apoptosis of spermatogenic cells in young male rats with a dose- and time-dependent effect.

Objective:
To investigate expert opinions on the recommendations in Expert Consensus on Optimized Treatments of Ankle Fracture in Light of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery and Expert Consensus on Optimized Treatments of Distal Radius Fracture in Light of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery so as to provide a reference for orthopaedic surgeons when they refer to the 2 documents.
Methods:
At the symposium in November 2018, all members of Orthopaedic Trauma Committee of Bethune Public Welfare Foundation were interviewed through questionnaires. The questionnaires involved 30 recommendations from the 2 documents concerning optimized perioperative managements. The rates of recommendation and strong recommendation by these experts were calculated about the 30 recommendations from the 2 above documents.
Results:
A total of 68 experts from the 89 members of Orthopaedic Trauma Committee of Bethune Public Welfare Foundation finished the questionnaires. Of the 30 recommendations, 26 obtained recommendation from these experts at a rate of above 95%, and 4 recommendation from these experts at a rate from 80% to 90%. The rates of strong recommendation were not high, ranging from 60% to 80% in 26 recommendations and <60% in 4.
Conclusions
The recommendations from the above 2 documents have been highly agreed upon by these experts we investigated but obtained a relatively low rate of strong recommendation. The present investigation may serve as a significant complement for recommendations from the 2 documents of expert consensus and a necessary reference for orthopaedic surgeons.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) in preterm infants to establish a nomogram model to predict the risk of MARSI.Methods:From July to September 2018, 268 premature infants who were hospitalized in NICU were enrolled in this study. Their clinical data were analyzed and univariate analysis was used to detemine the risk factors related to MARSI, The significant variables were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis to analyze the independent risk factors for MARSI. Then the R software was used to establish a predictive nomogram model, Bootstrap method was used to validate the nomogram model and the consistency test of the correction curve was used to explore the predictive efficacy of the model in predicting the MARSI.Results:A total of 64 cases out of 268 premature infants had MARSI. The prevalence rate was 23.9 % (64/268). Birth age (28 to 32 weeks) ( P value was 0.021, OR value was 2.736, 95 % CI 1.163-6.435), edema ( P<0.01, OR value was 33.782, 95 % CI 10.510-108.583), maternal diabetes ( P value was 0.039, OR value was 16.011, 95 % CI 1.146-223.692), easy to tear tape ( P value was 0.027, OR value was 13.567, 95 % CI 1.340-137.311) were all independent risk factors for MARSI. The nomogram model showed a conformance-index of 87.29 %, while the consistency test of the correction curve showed that the prediction probability is consistent with the actual occurrence probability. Conclusions:The nomogram built based on the indexes of fetal age, skin state, maternal disease, mucous product has good discrimination and accuracy which could be helpful for screening the patients with high risk, with potentially high clinical application value.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of oropharyngeal colostrum administration on building adequate enteral feeding process of very low birth weight neonates and extremely low birth weight neonates.Methods:A total of 62 very/extremely low birth weight neonates in NICU were selected from a tertiary hospital in shandong province. They were randomly assigned to the observation group ( n=32) and the control group ( n=30) according to the random number table. The observation group was given oropharyngeal colostrum administration. The control group was given oral care with 0.9% sodium chloride solution, and the wiping method and frequency was the same as the observation group. Gastric retention, enteral feeding time, adequate enteral feeding time, the weight at the time of discharge, etc. were compared between two groups. Results:Gastric retention times on the 10th day in the observation group (1.90±1.30) was significantly lower than that in the control group (2.77±1.50), and the two groups were statistically significant ( t value was -2.449, P<0.05). The duration of 100 ml·kg -1·d -1 enteral feeding and adequate enteral feeding (150 ml·kg -1·d -1) in the observation group [(24.63±9.42) days, (29.75±10.15) days] were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(33.90±2.73) days, (35.13±9.29)days], and the two groups were statistically significant ( t value was-4.621, P<0.01; t value was -2.362, P<0.05). The weight of the observation group was higher than that in the control group at the time of discharge ( t value was 4.677, P<0.05). Conclusion:Oropharyngeal colostrum administration can reduce gastric retention times, shorten the adequate enteral feeding time, promote growth and development in very low birth weight neonate and extremely low birth weight neonate.But it had not been proved to reduce the incidence of related infection indicators.
