1.Research progress in KCNQ potassium channels
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1986;0(06):-
KCNQ channels are an important sub-family in potassium channels. They are divided into five subtypes, including KCNQ1, KCNQ2, KCNQ3, KCNQ4, KCNQ5. KCNQ channels have a wide range of physiological and pathophysiologi-cal correlates. KCNQ1 (KvLTQ1) forms cardiac-delayed rectifier-like K+ current in the heart with other subunits. Mutations in this channel can cause one form of inherited long QT syndrome (LQT1). KCNQ2 and KCNQ3 heteromultimers are thought to underlie the M-current; mutations in these genes may cause an inherited form of juvenile epilepsy. The KCNQ4 gene is thought to encode the molecular correlate of the 7K.n in outer hair cells of the cochlea mutations whose mutation leads to a form of inherited deafness. KCNQ5 co-assemble with KCNQ3 in brain, and may also play a role in the M-current heterogeneity.

Objective To evaluate the outcome of the old patients who were treated for femoral neck fractures in our hospital during 2000-2007. Methods A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate outcomes of the 139 old patients who had received internal fixation for femoral neck fractures in our department during 2000-2007. The mechanism of injury, duration between injury and hospitalization, severity of fracture, anamnesis, time of hospital stay, anaesthesia, operation, postoperative complications, fracture healing, in-cidence of avascular necrosis of femoral head, failure of fixation, and functional restoration of the patients were documented. Results Fracture healing was found in 126 cases (90.6%). Time to healing ranged from 2 to 20 months (average, 6.2 months). Failure of fixation and nonunion were found in 13 cases (9.4%). Avascular necrosis of femoral head occurred in 9 cases (6.5% ). Of them, 81 patients(58.3%) restored their gait as normal as before whereas 50 patients(36.0%) walked with crutches. Conclusions Internal fix-ation can be suggested for old patients with femoral neck fracture, considering a high rate of fracture healing and a low rate of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Early operation is recommended if the general con-dition of the patient has been well controlled.
