Objective To develop a new scoring system,Daping orthopedics operation risk scoring system for senile patient(DORSSSP),for preoperative evaluation of operative risks in the elderly patients with hip fractures based on acute physiology and chronic health evaluation(APACHE)Ⅱ scoring system and physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM)and compare the new scoring system with APACHE Ⅱ and POSSUM in assessing surgical risks and predicting postoperative complications and mortalities.Methods A total of 260 patients with hip fractures treated in our department in recent five years were retrospectively and respectively evaluated with DORSSSP,POSSUM,progressed POSSUM(P-POSSUM)and APACHE Ⅱ scoring system to compare the value of three scoring systems in preoperative evaluation of operative risks and prediction of postoperative mortality and complications.Results POSSUM and DORSSSP predicted complications in 119 and 92 patients respectively,while the actual complication occurred in 84 patients.The prediction value of POSSUM was significantly higher than the actual value,while the prediction value of DORSSSP showed no statistical difference compared with the actual value.POSSUM,P-POSSUM and APACHEⅡ scoring systems predicted 16,10 and 12 deaths respectively,but there were six deaths in fact,with prediction value obviously higher than the actual value.DORSSSP predicted nine deaths,the closest value to the actual.Conclusions DORSSSP has good correlation with postoperative complications and mortalities.Compared with POSSUM and APACHE Ⅱ scoring system,more simple and practicable DORSSSP can more accurately evaluate the preoperative risks and predict the postoperative complications and mortalities in the elderly patients with hip fractures.

Professor LI Zhi-dao, according to acupoint selection of syndrome differentiation in TCM basic theory, concluded a new therapy, namely "tonifying three qi" that is mainly based on three acupoints in the Conception Vessel. This method is consisted of Danzhong (CV 17), Zhongwan (CV 12) and Qihai (CV 6) in the Conception Vessel, which could successively nourish clear qi, stomach qi and original qi. In clinic, according to the severity of symptoms of three qi, the acupoints are selected flexibly, which could respectively treat deficiency of heart-lung qi, deficiency of stomach-spleen qi and deficiency of original qi. Some examples are also given in the article.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in mucosal natural killer/T cell and mature T cell lymphomas and its relation to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection.

METHODSThe expression of MMP9 and EBV-encoded RNA (EBER) were detected by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization in 59 cases of mucosal natural killer/T cell and mature T cell lymphomas.

RESULTSThe positivity rates of MMP9 and EBERs were 83.05% and 72.88% respectively. The positivity rate of EBERs was correlated with histopathological subtype (P<0.05), but not with clinical stage, vascular invasion or the patients' survival time (P>0.05). The expression level of MMP9 was not correlated with the clinical stage, vascular invasion or survival time (P>0.05). No significant correlation was found between MMP9 expression and EBV infection.

CONCLUSIONEBV may play an important role in the development of mucosal natural killer/T cell and mature T cell lymphomas and promote disease progression by up-regulating MMP9 expression indirectly. Elimination of EBV infection may be helpful to prevent the development of lymphoma.

Objective To explore the curative effects of pulmonary surfactant (PS) injected via venous indwelling needle instead of the endotracheal tube combined with continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) in the treatment of premature infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS).Methods 28 premature infants with NRDS were selected,12 cases with gestational age of 28-31 weeks,16 cases with gestational age of 32-34 weeks,and all the cases were treated with PS injected via venous indwelling needle combined with CPAP.The changes in clinical symptoms,blood gas analysis,oxygen saturation,and the parameters of CPAP after treatment were observed.The tracheal intubation in 72h,the second use of PS,respiratory support duration,hospital duration,and the complications between the MIST treatment group and INSURE treatment group were compared.Results There were significant differences in changes of clinical symptoms,percutaneous oxygen saturation,pH,partial pressure of oxyge,partial pressure of carbon dioxide,fraction of inspiration O2 and (positive end expiratory pressure) PEEP after treatment(all P ＜ 0.05).There were statistically significant differences in tracheal intubation in 72h,the second use of PS,complications and respiratory support duration between the MIST group and INSURE group (all P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in bronchopulmonary dysplasia,ROP,PDA,intracranial hemorrhage,and hospital duration (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The therapy of PS injected via venous indwelling needle combined with CPAP in the treatment of premature infants is effective.The method MIST is simple and convenient,has less injury to premature infants,and can reduce frequency and dosage of the PS and respiratory support time.

To explore a new method to identify Moutan Cortex to guarantee its safe use, internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequence was used to identify Moutan Cortex and its adulterants. DNA was extracted and target fragments were amplified. Sequences were analyzed and assembled by CodonCode Aligner V3.7.1. Genetic distances were computed and phylogenetic tree was constructed based on kimura 2-parameter (K2P) model by MEGA 5.0. The length of the 20 ITS2 sequences of Moutan Cortex from nine different places is 227 bp, and no variation site was detected. The maximum inter-specificK2P distance of Moutan Cortex is 0, the minimum intra-specific K2P distance is 0.041, the average intra-specific K2P distance is 0.222. According to NJ analysis, Moutan Cortex from different places can get together as one branch with bootstrap support values 99%, which indicates Moutan Cortex can be easily distinguished from its adulterants. Using ITS2 sequence can accurately identify Moutan Cortex and its adulterants, it is an effective supplementary to traditional identification methods.

The direct acting substances of Cuscuta chinensis in vivo were preliminarily identified through the correlation analysis of "metabolites-effect identification" model. The ovariectomized female rats were i.g administered with 95% ethanol extract part, 40% ethanol elution part and n-butanol extract part of Cuscuta chinensis. The serum fingerprints of different parts and times of administration were established by UPLC/Q-TOF-MS. At the same time, serum estradiol (E₂), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels were detected. Bivariate correlation analysis and grey correlation analysis were used to screen estrogenic components. The results showed that nine direct acting substances in vivo highly related to estrogen effect were found in the drug containing serum, which were hyperoside, astragalin, methyl quercetin glucuronide, quercetin-diglucuronide, quercetin, apigenin, isoquercitrin, kaempferol glucuronide and kaempferol. We can preliminarily screen out the direct acting substance of estrogen effect of Cuscuta chinensis in vivo based on the research idea of serum spectrum effect correlation. It provides a reliable basis for revealing the estrogeneffective substances of Cuscuta chinensis and confirming the quality markers. This experiment was approved by Harbin University of Commerce Ethics Committees (Approval No. HSDU2020-065).

BACKGROUNDFungal keratitis is a rare but serious corneal disease that may result in loss of vision. The poor prognosis might be due to limited treatment option. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of 0.25% terbinafine eye drops comparing with 5% natamycin suspension on fungal keratitis.

METHODSA retrospective clinical trial was performed on 90 patients presenting with direct smear and/or culture positive fungal keratitis at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Beijing, China from January 2006 to May 2008. Corneal ulcers were categorized as mild or severe. Forty-five patients were treated with topical terbinafine and the next 45 cases received topical natamycin hourly.

RESULTSFilamentous fungi were found in corneal scrapings among all 90 cases. Fungal cultures were positive in 64 patients (71%). Species of Fusarium and Aspergillus were the principal isolates. Forty (89%) patients showed favorable response to terbinafine, while forty-two (93%) patients exhibited favorable response to natamycin (P > 0.05). The mean course of treatment was significantly showed in the terbinafine treatment group than natamycin group ((26.5 +/- 11.2) days versus (19.3 +/- 6.4) days; P < 0.05). In terbinafine group, twenty patients with ulcers smaller than 4 mm had favorable outcome, while 20 of 25 patients with ulcers more than 4 mm in diameter had favorable response (P < 0.05). Twenty-seven patients with depth of infiltration less than half of stroma thickness had favorable response to terbinafine, while 13 of 18 patients with depth of infiltration more than half of stroma responded to terbinafine. This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSOur findings suggest that topical terbinafine is an effective antifungal drug for the management of filamentous mycotic keratitis, particularly in cases with smaller and shallower ulcers. Its mean duration of treatment was longer than natamycin.
