BACKGROUND:There is no unified method for treatment of intertrochanteric fracture. Previous dynamic hip screw fixation has some shortcomings, and is gradual y replaced by intramedul ary nail fixation. interTan is a compression interlocking intramedul ary nail designed by Smith Nephew in USA according the characteristics of intertrochanteric fracture. Unique design of pressurized screw thread has control able linear pressure. Moreover, it has the stability of Z-effect anti-rotation.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the clinical therapeutic effects and superiority of interTan compression interlocking intramedul ary nail for intertrochanteric fracture.
METHODS:A total of 60 patients with intertrochanteric fracture undergoing interTan compression interlocking intramedul ary nail in the Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Chaoyang Emergency Rescue Center from January 2011 to December 2012 were enrol ed in the experimental group. A total of 60 patients with intertrochanteric fractures receiving dynamic hip screw fixation in the Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Chaoyang Emergency Rescue Center from January 2009 to December 2010 were enrol ed in the control group.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Peri-operative bleeding volume, postoperative ambulation time, numerical rating scale score, radiographic healing time and weight-bearing time in the experimental group were lower than those of control group. At 3, 6 months and 1 year after fixation, Harris score and hospital for special surgery knee score were higher in the experimental group than in the control group. These data indicated that compared with dynamic hip screw, interTan compression interlocking intramedul ary nail has unique stability due to its design. Internal fixation can reduce operation trauma, promote fracture healing and improve joint function, and exhibit good clinical therapeutic effects for intertrochanteric fractures.

Objective To analyze the short-term impact of fast track surgery (FTS) combined with minimally inva-sive surgery on elderly patients with colorectal cancer. Methods 200 patients with colorectal cancer received laparo-scopic surgery from July 2013 to July 2015 were selected and randomly divided into control group and FTS group. Patients in control group received conventional perioperative treatment and patients in FTS group received perioper-ative management according to fast track surgery. Status of intraoperative, postoperative recovery and the postopera-tive complication rate were compared between the two groups. Patients' quality of life were analyzed after two weeks of operation. Results Compared with the control group, the blood loss, operation time and number of lymph node dissection of patients in FTS group showed no significant difference ( > 0.05). Flatus time, ambulation time, start eating time, the infusion time and length of hospital stay in FTS group was significantly shorter than the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( <0.05). The total cost of hospitalization of FTS group was signifi-cantly lower than the control group ( <0.05). The incidence of sore throat, abdominal distension, lung infections and overall complications incidence rate in FTS group were significantly lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( <0.05). The satisfaction rate in FTS group was 96.0%(96/100), and was significantly high-er than the control group 82.0 %(82/100), the difference was statistically significant ( < 0.05). QLQ-C30 results showed that scores of overall health, emotional function and social function of FTS group were significantly higher than the control group ( <0.05), and scores of nausea and vomiting, pain, insomnia, anorexia, constipation were sig-nificantly lower than the control group ( < 0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopy combined with FTS is safe and effective in treatment of colorectal cancer in the elderly patients, which can promote postoperative rehabilitation, improve pa-tient satisfaction and quality of life in short term.

Aim To assess the effect of HMG-CoA inhibitors simvastatin on collagen remodeling in rats after myocardial infarction. Methods Myocardial infarction models were induced by ligation of anterior descending coronary artery. 24 hours later the survivals were randomly divided into 3 groups: (1) MI group; (2) 20 mg Sim group(20 mg? kg-1? d-1); (3) 40 mg Sim group(40 mg? kg-1? d-1). Rats with sham ligation formed into Sham group. After 8 weeks, the ratios of LV and RV weight to body weight (RVWI, LVWI) were examined and the collagen content was detected. The type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen volume fraction (CVF) and Ⅰ/Ⅲ ratio in infarcted and non-infarcted zones were examined with PSR dyeing; also the mRNA expressions of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen in non-infarcted zone (NIZ) were detected with RT-PCR.Results Comparing with Sham group,the RVWI and LVWI in MI group increased significantly. The type Ⅰ CVF and type Ⅲ CVF in NIZ and the Ⅰ/Ⅲ ratio were increased in MI group. The mRNA expressions of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen in NIZ in MI group were higher than those in Sham group. Comparing with MI group, the RVWI and LVWI in both Sim groups were decreased significantly. The type Ⅰ CVF and type Ⅲ CVF in NIZ and the Ⅰ/Ⅲ ratio were depressed in both Sim groups, and the mRNA expressions of collagens were also lower than those in MI group, but higher than those in Sham group. Conculusion Simvastatin could attenuate the development of myocardial interstitial fibrosis in non-infarction zone to improve myocardial interstitial remodeling in rats after MI.
