Objective To explore the clinical significance of the inferior displacement sign on the initial anterioposterior (AP) view X-ray for fractures of humeral greater tuberosity.Methods This study retrospectively analyzed the imaging and clinical data of 24 patients with isolated fracture of humeral greater tuberosity who had sought medical treatment during the period from January 2008 to June 2015.They were 10 males and 14 females,with an average age of 54 years (from 19 to 68 years).Laterality:8 left sides and 16 right sides.The AP view X-ray films of the 24 patients present the inferior displacement sign defined as the inferior cortical margin of the greater tuberosity overlapping the proximal humeral shaft on the initial AP view.The patients received further CT examination to determine the displacement direction and whether the humeral neck fracture was complicated.Results A slight displacement of humeral anatomic neck fracture was shown on the initial AP view X-ray in 10 patients.Further CT examination revealed that humeral anatomic neck fracture was confirmed in 23 patients,the greater tuberosity was displaced posteriorly in 22 patients and posteroinferiorly in 2 patients.Radiographic measurements showed:the mean posterior displacement was 10.5 ±4.5 mm;the displacement between the humeral head and the humeral shaft was 2.5 ± 1.5 mm;the neck shaft angle was 147.2° ± 9.2°;the distance between the humeral head and greater tuberosity was 10.8 ± 3.4 mm;the overlap between the inferior edge of greater tuberosity and the upper edge of lateral humeral shaft was 12.5±5.9 mm.Pearson correlation analysis showed no correlation between the overlap and the head-tuberosity distance (P > 0.05),but a significant correlation between the overlap and the neck-shaft angle (P < 0.05).Conclusions The inferior displacement sign on the initial AP view X-ray is actually the overlap of posterior displaced greater tuberosity fracture shown on the X-ray.The posterior displaced greater tuberosity fracture complicated with slight displaced anatomic neck fracture is a presentation of the valgus impacted fracture of the proximal humerus.The inferior displacement sign in the fracture of humeral greater tuberosity can highly suggest the presence of occult or slight displacement of the humeral anatomic neck fracture.

5.Effect of high-fat diet on rabbit knee articular cartilage
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(42):6775-6778
BACKGROUND:The increase of serum cholesterol levels is positively correlated with the increasing incidence of osteoarthritis. Little is known about the role of high-fat diet in the degeneration of articular cartilage and induced arthritis.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the morphology change of the articular cartilage of New Zealand rabbits after high-fat diet, and explore the role of food in the articular cartilage degeneration.
METHODS:Forty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. In control group, rabbits were fed with basal diet. In high-fat diet group, rabbits were fed with high-fat diet (20%lard and 80%basal diet). Fasting blood samples was taken every 4 weeks, to detect the triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. After rabbit were fed for 28 weeks, the knee joint was grossly observed and the femoral condyle cartilage was scanned by scanning electron microscope.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were significantly increased in the high fat group (P<0.05). Under scanning electron microscope, the high-fat group showed rough surface of condylar cartilage, shal ow pouch, messy arrangement, irregular shape and uneven size. The surface of cartilage exhibited focal denudation, irregular arrangement, uneven porosity and fractured cavity. Under higher magnification, smal mountain-like structure of cartilage surface became shal ow and flattened, the pores disappeared. Long-term high-fat diet may induce and aggravate cartilage damage, suggesting it may be involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.

Journal of Modern Laboratory Medicine 2014;(5):117-119
Objective To investigate the episode of ischemic stroke in patients with serum homocysteine (Hcy),erythropoietin and its clinical significance (EPO)levels.Methods Detected 120 cases of first ischemic stroke patients serum Hcy,EPO lev-els and test results with 120 cases over the same period outpatient healthy compare.Used Logistic regression analysis and Pearson correlation analysis to determine the relationship between serum Hcy,EPO levels and ischemic stroke,ROC curve a-nalysis of clinical characteristics of Hcy and EPO.Results Serum Hcy,EPO level of ischemic stroke were respectively 23.1 ±12.6μmol/L and 32.4±11.2 mIU/L.The control level were respectively 10.4±2.8μmol/L and 17.6±5.2 mIU/L.Is-chemic stroke group were significantly higher.The results had statistical significance (P<0.05 or<0.01).Pearson correla-tion analysis showed that ischemic stroke serum Hcy levels and EPO levels were positively correlated (r=0.369,P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that Ischemic stroke was positively related to serum Hcy level (P<0.05),and were not related to EPO (P>0.05).Conclusion The serum Hcy,elevated EPO levels associated with ischemic stroke.Serum Hcy is an independent risk factor of ischemic stroke.
8.Anterolateral and medial approach fixation with compression plate and screw for middle and inferior humeral fractures:efficacy and safety
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(31):5011-5015
BACKGROUND:Reduction and fixation are presently used for middle and inferior humeral fractures. The methods of fixation approach include anterolateral (including modified upper arm anterolateral), posterior and medial approaches. The repair approach of middle and inferior humeral fractures remains controversial. OBJECTIVE:To compare efficiency and safety of anterolateral and medial approach fixation with compression plate and screw for middle and inferior humeral fractures. METHODS:A total of 90 cases of middle and inferior humeral fractures treated in Chongqing Red Cross Hospital were equaly and randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In the control group, patients were subjected to compression plate and screw through anterolateral approach. In the experimental group, patients were subjected to compression plate and screw through medial approach. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, complications and the recovery of shoulder joint and elbow joint function were compared in patients of both groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intraoperative blood loss was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in operation time and fracture healing time was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). During 6 months of folow-up, no significant difference in shoulder joint function Neer score and elbow joint function Mayo score was detected between the two groups (P > 0.05). During the folow-up period, no wound infection, bone nonunion or chronic osteomyelitis appeared in both groups. These data confirm that the effects of medial approach and anterolateral approach for middle and inferior humeral fractures are similar. Medial approach leads to less blood loss, can effectively make up for the defects of the traditional repair scheme, and can be considered as one of fixation approach for middle and inferior humeral fractures.
