BACKGROUND: Bone and exact reduction and internal fixation should be kept to fully repair the function of patella in comminuted patellar fracture operation. Currently, comminuted patellar fracture without a unified therapeutic standard has been a difficulty in clinic.OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of modified AO tension band, titanium cable cerclage and nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) patellar concentrator fixation in the treatment of comminuted patellar fracture.DESIGN: Prospective comparative observation.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 60 patients with simple unilateral closed comminuted patellar fracture were enrolled at Department of Orthopaedics of Changzheng Hospital from November 2004 to November 2006, including 32 males and 28 females aged 28-59 years. Inclusive criteria contained diagnosis of having simple unilateral closed comminuted patellar fracture and injury timing of less than 7 days. The patients all signed the informed consent.METHODS: The patients were assigned into modified AO tension band group (n =22), titanium cable cerclage group (n = 21) and Ni-Ti patellar concentrator group (n =17) according to their will. Twelve patients in the modified AO tension band group received simple modified AO tension band internal fixation, and ten received modified AO tension band internal fixation and extraction. Patients in the titanium cable cerclage group received titanium cable cerclage. Ten patients in the Ni-Ti patellar concentrator group received simple Ni-Ti patellar concentrator internal fixation, and seven received internal fixation and extraction.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Postoperative host and material reaction, intraoperative blood loss, medical cost and workday loss, and ②active range of knee motion at month 3 after operation and functional recovery and curative effect at month 6 after operation.RESULTS: Totally 60 patients were involved in the result analysis. ①Host and material reaction was not found in all patients. Blood loss was significantly more in the patients of simple Ni-Ti patellar concentrator internal fixation group than patients of simple modified AO tension band internal fixation group and titanium cable cerclage group, whereas workday loss was less than that of the simple modified AO tension band internal fixation group (P < 0.05). Medical cost was obviously more in the titanium cable cerclage group than the simple Ni-Ti patellar concentrator internal fixation group and the simple modified AO tension band internal fixation group (P < 0.05). ②Active range of knee motion was the largest, about mean 108°, and long-term functional score of injured knee was the highest, about mean 21.3 points, with the excellent and good rate of 95.2%, and no sever complication appeared in the titanium cable cerclage group. These were much better than those of the other groups (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Modified AO tension band fixation and patellar concentrator fixation in the treatment of comminuted patellar fracture have excellent effects in some patients. Titanium cable cerclage fits for the treatment of comminuted patellar fracture and has better recovery of knee joint function.

Objective To analyze the mid- and long-term results after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), to evaluate the accuracy of multi-detector CT coronary angiography (MDCT) on the graft patency status and to compare the patency for different grafts. Methods One hundred and one cases underwent CABG from June 1992 to March 2008 were followed up by searching the database of MDCT (42 cases) and selective coronary angiography (SCA, 59 cases). The mean following up period was (66.79 ±44.27) months. Three hundreds and 10 grafts including 115 arterial and 195 venous were analyzed.A comparison of the patency rate between the arterial and venous grafts was also carried out. At the mean time, 2 groups were divided according to the paft lesions( patency of not). Uunivariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis were made for statistics. Results At the follow-up of (53.93 ± 36.80) months, the patent rate of LIMA, RA, SV and CV examined by MDCT was 94.7%, 92.0%, 85.9% and 60.0%, respectively. The patent rate for MDCT patients with angina was 83.5%, and 95.2% for angina-free group ( P = 0.046). At the follow-up of (75.95 ±47.09) months, the patent rate of LIMA, RA, SV and CV examined by SCA was 87.1%, 81.0%, 53.6% and 57. 1%, respectively. In SCA patients the patent rate was 62.0% for angina group and 100% for angina-free group ( P = 0.025 ). According to logistic regression analysis, only the postoperative period was statistically related to the graft lesion. Conclusion MDCT could find out the occlusions and obvious stenoses of the grafts after CABG. It might be served as a noninvasive method to evaluate the grafts patency postoperatively. The mid- and long-term patency of arterial grafts is better than venous grafts. Graft lesion is an important factor leading to postoperative recurrent angina pectoris. The severity of the graft lesion has a close relation to the lenth of postoperative period.

Objective: To observe the effects of acupoint thread-embedding therapy and low-carbohydrate diet therapy on obese patients with food addiction. Methods: Sixty-five eligible patients were randomized into a thread-embedding group of 33 cases and a diet group of 32 cases to respectively receive 12-week treatment. Before treatment, after treatment and at 6-month follow-up, the two groups were observed and compared in terms of body mass (BM), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI), body fat rate (BFR), basal metabolic rate (BMR) and Yale food addiction scale version 2.0 (YFAS 2.0). Results: At the end of treatment, there were no significant differences in the general efficacy, and the improvements in BM, BMI, WC, HC, WHR and BFR between the thread-embedding group and diet group (all P>0.05). At follow-up, the thread-embedding group showed more significant improvements in all the aforementioned indicators compared with the diet group except HC (all P<0.05). At the end of treatment and follow-up, BMR and YFSA 2.0 had more significant improvements in the thread-embedding group than in the diet group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupoint thread-embedding therapy can produce significant efficacy in treating obese patients with food addiction; it can improve the food addiction state and work better in maintaining the efficacy compared with low-carbohydrate diet therapy.

Carbon nanosheets load beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD-CNS) as a new modified electrode materials was reported for the electrochemical determination of sulfadiazine(SD). Carbon nanosheets(CNS) were prepared by a new method of ultrasonic electrolysis in which the β-CD was attached on CNS through ultrasonic dispersion method. The β-CD-CNS composite nanomaterials were immobilized onto glassy carbon electrodes with drops of coating method to construct an SD voltammetric sensor. The differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV) was used to characterize the electrocatalytic behavior of the developed sensor. The Effects of some parameters on the response behavior of the sensor such as pH,modification amount,scanning rate,stirring speed,stirring time,deposition potential and time were investigated and optimized. The results indicated that the β-CD-CNS composite nanomaterials had excellent electroactivity for the SD in neutral solution and greatly improved the current response of SD. Under the optimal conditions, the SD had an irreversible characteristic oxidation peak around+0.87 V,and the oxidation peak current ip(μA) had a good linear relationship with the concentration C ( μmol/L) of the SD in concentration range of 0.05 μmol/L-13.5 μmol/L with correlation coefficients of 0.999. The detection limit was 12.2 nmol/L (S/N=3). The sensor was successfully applied for the trace SD determination in water and milk samples and the recoveries from the spiked samples were 80.0%-102% with RSD≤5.2%.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression and significance of structural proteins, VEGF and Ang-1 in cavernous venous malformations of the body surface.
METHODSTissue samples came from 25 cases of cavernous venous malformations, 12 cases of normal moderate veins and 12 cases of normal small veins. Envision immunohistochemical stain was used to investigate the expression of IV collagen, fibronectin, laminin, VEGF and Ang-1. The results were analyzed semi-quantitatively.
RESULTSThe distribution of structural proteins in cavernous venous malformations is similar to moderate and small veins, but the expression in venous malformations is less obviously. VEGF expression in cavernous venous malformations and small veins is stronger obviously than moderate veins. Ang-1 expression in small veins is stronger remarkably than cavernous venous malformations and moderate veins.
CONCLUSIONThe abnormal expression of structural proteins may be an important factor in etiopathology and progress of cavernous venous malformations. There is disturbance of blood vessel remodelling in the sinusoid of cavernous venous malformations, with which the less expression of Ang-1 may be related.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical pathology of cavernous venous malformations of the body surface.
METHODSTissue samples of cavernous venous malformations from 42 cases were stained with hematoxylin and eosin to observe the pathologic structure. The clinical manifestations and case history were summarized accordingly.
RESULTSThere was no distribution difference of the malformation in sex and body sides, but with obvious difference in anatomic sites. The malformation occurred most frequently at the head and neck, more frequently at extremities and least frequently at the trunk. According to pathologic structure, cavernous venous malformations of the body surface can be divided into three types: the cellular, the canaliform and the mixed.
CONCLUSIONThe cause of distribution difference in anatomic sites remains unclear. Internal hemorrhage and infection may account for the increased growth and ache of the lesion. The different pathologic structure of the malformation may cause different clinical manifestations.
