Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of dynamic hip screw( DHS) and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation( PFNA) in treatment of patients with Parkinson’ s disease and intertrochanteric fracture. Methods A total of 62 elderly patients of Parkinson’ s disease with femoral intertrochanteric fracture in our hospital from February 2010 to February 2014 were divided into two groups according to different internal fixations,with 31 cases in DHS group and PFNA group respectively. The operation time,X-ray fluoroscopy times,intraoperatve blood soss,the healing time of fracture,postoperative complications and Harris score between two groups were recorded and compared statistically. Results The operation time,intraoperatve blood soss and the clinical healing time of PFNA group were significantly lower than those of DHS group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). But the times of intraoperative fluoroscopy of PFNA group was more than that of DHS group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The Harris score of hip function results showed that the excellent rate of PFNA group was significantly higher than that of DHS group, the difference was statistically significant (P=0. 034). All patients were fol-lowed up for 6 to 48 months. There were 4 cases with complications after operation in DHS group,1 cases of complications in PFNA group,the difference in complications was not significant (P>0. 05). Conclusion The PFNA has the advantages of shorter operation time,less bleed-ing,faster healing time in treatment for elderly patients with Parkinson’ s disease and intertrochanteric fracture,worth clinical promotion.

The pediatric risk of mortality Ⅲ(PRISM Ⅲ) score and pediatric critical illness score(PCIS) are physiology-based scores for assessing the severity of illness and mortality risk in pediatric patients.The PRISM Ⅲscore was revised version of the PRISM and was first developed in 1996.It includes 17 physiologic variables subdivided into 26 ranges.It had been validated by numerous studies worldwide and is the most widely known and used at pediatrics intensive care unit(PICU).The PCIS was first developed in 1995 in China,which included 10 physiologic variables.It had been validated by numerous studies nationwide and was simple,effective and suitable to Chinese situations.The scoring systems also can be used for quality assessments,grading the severity of illness in clinical study,and(stu)-dies of ICU resource utilization and management.There were no such study for validating the PRISM Ⅲ at present,comparing the performance of the PRISM Ⅲ score and the PCIS in China.

AIM To evaluate the anti-angiogenesis action of Bevacizumab on corneal neovascularization(CNV) in rats induced by alkali burns.·METHODS: 20 Health Wistar rats, aging from 6 to 8 weeks and weighting from 170g to 190g from 170g to 190g were prepared for CNV animal models. Both corneas of each animal in experimental were cauterized with alkali, then all rats were randomly divided into four groups (each group have 5 rats and 10 corneas), the both corneas of each rats were received subconjunctival Bevacizumab in different dosage (group 2, 0.5rag; group 3, 1.0mg; group 4, 2.0mg)and the group 1 received carrier solution. The occurrence and development ofCNVwereobservedbyslit-lamp microscope, and length and area of CNV were calculated. All rats were followeded up 16 days after alkali burns. The 40 corneas were taken for histopathological examination. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected in all rat corneas by immunohistochemistry method. ·RESULTS: In the bevacizumabotreated eyes, the vascular area was lower than in the control eyes. The treated group was statistical differences compared with the control group; when vascular area were compared between the treated groups, no statistical differences were observed. The histopathological findings showed that the inflammation cells and the neovascularity in each treated group were significantly fewer than that in the control group. The expression of VEGF markedly increased in CNV control group compared with bevacizumab-injected group. ·CONCLUSION: Subconjunctival application of a certain concentrations Bevacizumab could inhibit angiogenesis in rats corneas induced by alkali burns.

BACKGROUND:The poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyoctanoate) osteochondral scaffold which has been constructed in previous experiments has good biocompatibility and biodegradability and generates non-toxic degradation products.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the vascularization of rabbit renal microvascular endothelial cels co-cultured with poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyoctanoate) osteochondral scaffold.
METHODS:The poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyoctanoate) osteochondral scaffold having a three-layer structure (layer of bone/bone and cartilage interface layer/layer of cartilage) was prepared by solvent casting/particle leaching method. The renal microvascular endothelial cels at passage 3 were seeded onto the scaffold of bone layer. The proliferation of the renal microvascular endothelial cels growing on the scaffolds was examined using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method, the growth of cels in the scaffold was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining under electron microscope after 10 days.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The integrated osteochondral scaffold had a clear appearance of three-layer structure, which had closed connections between the three layers. Porous bone layer was visible as wel as uniform and interlinked pores, and the porosity was 78%. The renal microvascular endothelial cels seeded onto the scaffold proliferated wel and presented a three-dimensional growth after 10 days of co-culture, but there were no cels on the interface layer. Cels which adhered and grew between the pores of the bone layer were observed through hematoxylin-eosin staining. Cels showed a luminal-like structure growing on the scaffold with the porous structure, but they did not grow into the interface layer of bone and cartilage.

Objectives To compare the effect of one-stage revision and two-stage revision for the treatment of culture-negative peripros-thetic joint infection after total hip arthroplasty.Methods A retrospective study was conducted with the clinical data of 41 patients who had chronic periprosthetic joint infection after total hip arthroplasty and then underwent one or two-stage revision surgery from February 2006 to February 2014.The patients were divided into two groups according to different surgical way,namely the 16 patients who received the one-stage revision surgery were regarded as the OSR group,and the other 25 cases who underwent the two-stage revision surgery were regarded as the TSR group.The clinical efficacy of the two surgical way were assessed with Harris Hip score,visual analogue scale (VAS),and rate of infection clearance.Results The average duration of follow up was 29.7 months (9 to 48 months).At the last follow-up,Harris Hip score of TSR group was higher than that of the OSR group,and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.04),and the VAS score of TSR group was lower than that of the OSR group with statistical differences (P =0.02).Additionally,the rate of infection clearance in TSR group was significantly higher than OSR group (P =0.04).Conclusion Culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection can be effectively controled by one or two-stage revision surgery.However,patients got a better prognosis after two-stage revision surgery.

Objective To explore the effects of lead acetate on free radicals and lipid peroxidation in the cerebral cor?tex, cerebellum, and hippocampus in rat brains. Methods SD rats (n=48), who were just weaned, were randomly divided in?to 4 groups base on their weight. Then the rats were fed with lead acetate in drinking water at the final concentrations of 0 mg/L (deionized water), 200 mg/L, 400 mg/L, 800 mg/L respectively. Blood lead level as well as the hydroxyl free radical inhibiting activity, the levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and hippocam?pus were measured 60 days after lead contamination in water. Results Upon lead exposure, blood lead levels increased sig?nificantly as compared with the control. The hydroxyl free radical inhibiting activity in cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and hip?pocampus decreased significantly in a dose dependent manner of lead(P < 0.05). And they all correlated negatively with blood lead level (r=-0.505,-0.414,-0.448, P<0.05). By contrast, blood lead level was positively correlated with H2O2 and MDA in these brain tissues (r=0.301, 0.411, 0.378, and 0.404, 0.324, 0.510,P < 0.05). Conclusion Lead exposure can lead to lipid peroxidation of rat brain tissues through inducing free radicals.
