BACKGROUND: Most of the displaced fractures of calcaneus reed operation treatment. Because early postoperative dirigation is sometimes ignored,most patients receive only good anatomic reduction but less pleased functional reduction.OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of different starting time of the postoperative dirigation on the functional recovery of the joint of the foot after the operation of the fracture of calcaneus with joint surface displacement.DESIGN: Non-randomized and concurrently controlled retrospective analysis with blind evaluation.SETTING: Orthopedic Department of Renji Hospital of Shanghai Second Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Cases with the fracture of the calcaneus with joint surface displacement, in the Orthopedic Department of Renji Hospital of Shanghai Second Medical University were chosen from October 2000 to June 2003. There were totally 64 cases(72 sides), male 40 sides and female 32sides, whose ages varied from 22 to 68 years old. According to the starting time of the postoperative dirigation, the cases were divided into two groups,the 1-week dirigation group with 34 cases(38 sides), male 20 sides and female 18 sides, and the 6-week dirigation group with 30 cases(34 sides), male 20 sides and female 14 sides.METHODS: Totally 64 cases were involved in the result analysis. In the two groups, the same operative therapeutic methods and postoperative dirigation were taken except the starting time of the dirigation. The dirigation was started respectively 1 or 6 weeks after the operation and lasted for 6weeks. Six months later, follow-ups were done according to the Maryland Grade(excellent 90-100, good 75 -89, moderate 50 -74, poor ＜ 50) to evaluate the activity of the talocrural joint and the stability of the anterior half of the foot and the gait as well.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary results: the postoperative function of the injured foot of the two groups. Secondary results: the adverse events and side effect.Maryland Grade: In the 34 cases(38 sides) of the 1-week dirigation group,the average mark was 87. 8, and in the 30 cases(34 sides) of the 6-week dirigation group, the average mark was 73.2, and the difference had signifigroup, 3 cases had poor healing of the incision, and achieved the healing after 2-week medication. And 2 cases had injury of the lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve of the foot. In the 6-week dirigation group 2 cases had poor healing of the incision and achieved the healing after 2-week medication, and 1 case had injury of the lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve of the foot. There was no significant difference between the two groups.CONCLUSION: After the operation of the fracture of calcaneus with joint surface displacement, early application of dirigation is beneficial to the functional recovery of the foot and talocrural joint without unsafety.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a staging standard for a transplanted hepatoma model in rats, which may be equivalent to the human primary liver cancer. METHODS: A transplanted hepatoma model was made in SD rats by implantation of histologically intact Walker-256 tumor fragment into the left lateral lobe of the liver. The body weight, tumor volume and serum albumin level of the rats were measured and assayed in different periods. Pathological sections were also fabricated to detect the invasion and metastasis of the neighboring tissues. RESULTS: The body weight loss and ascites occurred at the 12th and 18th day separately. The serum albumin level was (35.32+/-2.45) g/L at the 11th day, which showed no statistical difference as compared with the healthy rats (P>0.05), and the albumin level at the 18th day was significantly lower than that at the 11th day (P<0.05). At the 23rd day, 56.25% of the rats developed bloody ascites. CONCLUSION: The period between 5-11 days in the model rats may be correspondent to the early stage of human primary liver cancer, and the biological behavior of the model rats at the18th day may be correspondent to the late stage of human primary liver cancer. This staging standard might be the guideline for model selection in experimental study of primary liver cancer.

Objective To evaluate effects of ropivacaine combined with different concentrations of fentanyl for epidural labor analgesia. Methods In this multicenter double-blinded randomized study 128 parturients at full term and 2-3 cm of cervical dilatation who requested epidural analgesia were randomly allocated to one of 4 groups: group F0 received epidural ropivacaine alone (n = 33); group F1 received epidural ropivacaine with fentanyl 1 ?g?ml-1 (n = 30) ; group F2 epidural ropivacaine + fentanyl 2?g?ml-1(n = 33) and group F3 epidural ropivacaine + fentanyl 3 ?g?ml-1(n = 32). Epidural catheter was placed at L2,3 and advanced 4 cm into the epidural space in cephalad direction. A bolus of 15 ml of ropivacaine alone or with fentanyl was given after correct epidural placement was confirmed. EC50 of epidural ropivacaine was determined by up-and-down sequential experiment. The initial concentration of epidural ropivacaine was 0. 12% . If effective the next parturient received ropivacaine of lower concentration; if ineffective the ropivacaine concentration was increased. Each time the concentration of epidural ropivacaine increased/decreased by 0.01% . The analgesia was assessed using VAS score (0-10 0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain) . If VAS score was less than 3 within 30 min of ropivacaine administration, analgesia was defined as effective. EC50 of ropivacaine was calculated according to Dixon and Massey. Results Four of the 128 parturients enrolled were excluded because of uncertain results of interrupted observation. The EC50 of epidural ropivacaine for labor analgesia and the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of EC50 were 0.110% (95% CI 0.109 0%-0.111 6%) in group F0; 0.089% (95% CI 0.087 7%-0.091 1%) in group F1; 0.073% (95% CI 0. 071 7%-0.0744%) in group F2 and 0.060% (95% CI 0.056 0%-0.634%) in group F3 respectively. The EC50 was significantly higher in group F0 than in group F1, F2 and F3 (P0.05) . The incidence of side-effect was significantly higher in group F3 than in group F0(P

Objective: To explore the effects of peritoneal dialysis on acute renal insufifciency and on relevant blood indicators in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) after the operation.
Methods: A total of 48 CHD patients received direct open heart surgery by cardiopulmonary bypass and suffered from post-operative acute renal insufifciency in our hospital from 2011-12 to 2014-12 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Peritoneal dialysis group and Routine medication group,n=24 in each group. The differences of renal function indexes, the blood levels of electrolyte and inlfammatory factors were compared between 2 groups.
Results: Compared with Routine medication group, the patients in Peritoneal dialysis group presented decreased serum critinine, BUN and urine β2-micro globulin, 24-hour protein level,P<0.05; decreased blood K+ level and increased blood levels of Ca2+, HCO-3P<0.05; decreased plasma levels of hs-CRP, TNF-α, IL-6,P<0.05. The cure rate and mortality in Peritoneal dialysis group were better than those in Control group,P<0.05. No long term complication related to peritoneal dialysis was found.
Conclusion: Peritoneal dialysis may improve the renal function in CHD patients with post-operative acute renal insufifciency and optimize the blood levels of electrolyte and inlfammatory factors.
