Objective To analyze the causes for the thigh pain after treatment of femoral trochanteric fractures by proximal femoral nail antirotation Ⅱ( PFNA Ⅱ) . Methods Included in this ret-rospective study were 236 patients who had been treated by us for femoral trochanteric fracture from October 2011 to December 2015. They were 103 men and 133 women, aged from 42 to 86 years (average, 50. 3 years) . According to AO classification, 13 cases belonged to type 31-A1. 2, 32 to type 31-A1. 3, 35 to type 31-A2. 1, 27 to type 31-A2. 2, 33 to type 31-A2. 3, 38 to type 31-A3. 1, 39 to type 31-A3. 2 and 19 to type 31-A3. 3. All the fractures were single, fresh and closed and treated with PFNAⅡinternal fixation. Results This cohort was followed up for 8 to 26 months (average, 13. 2 months). Nonunion occurred in one case who had to accept artificial hip replacement. The remaining 235 cases obtained bony union after 22 to 39 weeks (average, 29. 3 weeks). By the Harris evaluation at final follow-ups, the affected hips scored from 81 to 93 points (average, 85. 1 points) . Post-operative thigh pain was reported in 19 cases (8. 05％) . The causes included varied anatomic morphology of the proximal femur in 6 cases, distal defects of the intramadullary nails in 4, insufficient stability of internal fixation or uneven biomecanical distribution in 3, unskillful operation in 2, and severe oesteoporosis in 4. Avascular necrosis of femoral head was not observed during follow-ups. Conclusions Postoperative thigh pain is worthy of serious atention from orthopaedists following PFNA Ⅱtreatment of femoral trochanteric fractures. PFNA Ⅱshould be modified according to the specific Chinese features of the proximal femur, especially in the respects of anterior arch and distal structure of the main nail and lateral declination as well.

Background and purpose:Inlfammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are a group of chronic intestinal diseases, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). This study identified differentially expressed miRNAs in UC, CD and colitis-associated colorectal cancers (CAC) to explore their potential as novel molecular biomarkers. Methods:Tissue samples were taken from 13 UC patients, 3 CD patients, 12 CAC patients, and 8 age-and gender-matched healthy controls. The miRNA expressions were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) assay. Known targets of deregulated miRNAs were utilized using miRWalk 2.0 database, and subsequent bioinformatics analysis of these target genes was performed by DAVID software (GO-analysis, KEGG-analysis and BIOCARTA-analysis). Results:The data showed that miR-146a, miR-27a, miR-29a, miR-20a and miR-21 were upregulated in UC, CD and CAC tissues compared with normal control. Moreover, the target genes of these miRNAs were enriched in several key signal transduction pathways including cancer-related pathway and immu-nity-associated pathway. Conclusion:miR-146a, miR-27a, miR-29a, miR-20a and miR-21 may play important roles in the switching from IBD to CAC.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a multifunctional organelle in eukaryotic cells, is responsible for protein synthesis and intracellular signal transduction, which dominates cell function, survival, and apoptosis. Disequilibrium of ER homeostasis may induce ER stress, which closely intertwines with tumor occurrence and progress. A few clinical-used drugs (such as anthraquinones and oxaliplatin) can mediate the immunogenic cell death of tumor cells through excessive ER stress, and sequentially stimulate anti-tumor immune responses as well as long-term immune memory. However, these drugs often exhibit poor targeting ability and extremely low ER accumulation in tumor cells, limiting their clinical efficacy. Therefore, the researches of ER-targeted delivery of these drugs will significantly benefit the efficient and precise anti-tumor immunotherapy. In this review, we introduce the relationship between ER and tumor immunity, and summarize the ER targeting strategies for anti-tumor immunotherapy in recent years. Furthermore, we discuss the problems of existing ER targeting strategies and look into its broad prospects of application.

Objective To observe the effects of in vitro isolated Schwann cells co-cultured with chemically acellular nerve allografts on improving repair of large facial nerve defects. Methods A total of 30 Wistar rats were equally randomized into three groups, ie, experimental group, allograft group and autograft group. Nerve defect of 12 mm in length was made in the left inferior buccal branch of facial nerve and repaired with acellular nerve allograft implanted with Schwann cells, acellular nerve allograft and fresh tibial nerve autograft respectively. At the 5th month postoperatively, the function and morpholo-gy of the regenerated nerves were observed by electrophysiological method, methylene blue staining and transmission electron microscope. Results In experimental group, the recovery rate (operation side/normal side) of amplitude of nerve-muscle action potential was (35.8±2.5)%, the lantency recovery rate (normal side/operation side) (65.8±2.9)%, the number of the regenerated axon 1 570±188 and the myelin thickness (0.383±0.031) μm. The results in the experimental group were significantly supe-rior to those in the acellular nerve allograft group (P < 0.05), with similar results to fresh nerve autograft group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Transplantation of Schwarm cells in acellular nerve allograft can im-prove repair of large facial nerve defects.

AIM:To establish a mouse model of immuno-inflammation in central nervous system (CNS) associated with cognitive dysfunction.METHODS:C57BL/6J male mice were divided into 3 groups.Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was intraperitoneally injected into the mice to induce cognitive impairment.Morris water maze test, passive avoidance test and pole test were used to observe the behavioral changes of mice.The histomorphology was analyzed by the method of immunofluorescence.The detailed molecular mechanism was determined by Western blot.RESULTS:Compared with saline group, LPS induced mouse sickness behavior and memory loss.Microglia activation and neuronal loss in the hippocampus were observed.The expression of neuroinflammatory proteins COX-2 and iNOS in the brain of LPS-induced mice was increased.CONCLUSION:Intraperitoneal injection of LPS induces cognitive dysfunction in mice.

Objective To investigate the relationship between carotid atherosclerotic plaque and multiple risk factors of angiocardiopathy,and to evaluate the injuries caused by different risk factors to subclinical target organ to control the general risk factors of angiocardiopathy.Methods Four hundred and twenty six outpatients and impatients,treated in our hospital from May 2007 to May 2009 with the results of color ultrasonic examination,were divided into carotid atherosclerotic plaque group(284 cases) and no carotid atherosclerotic plaque group( 142 cases).The clinical information including their age,body mass index,smoking condition,past medical history such as hypertension,diabetes mellitus and hyperlipoidemia were recorded,and the levels of total cholesterol(T C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol( HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),triglyceride (TG),lipoprotein ( a ) ( LP (a) ),apolipoprotein A - 1 ( Apo A 1 ),apolipoprotein B ( Apo B ),highsensitivity C-reactive protein( hs-CRP),homocysteine ( HCY),microalbuminuria( MAU ) and uricacid(UA) were determined by lab tests.The independent variable and univariable data were processed and analyzed statistically to find out the risk factors of carotid atherosclerotic plaque.Results Age and drinking were significantly correlated with the carotid intima-media wall thickening(IMT) (P ＜ 0.001 ).Overweight,diabetes mellitus,increased LP (a),hyperlipoidemia,age,increased MAU and HCY could independently predict carotid atherosclerosis and plaque formation ( x2 =71.35,38.45,t =3.26,x2 =37.23,t =118.51,6.723 and 3.17respectively,Ps ＜ 0.05 ).The aggregated number of the risk factors was correlated to IMT and carotid atherosclerotic plaque ( P =0.0001 ).Conclusion Age,drinking,overweight,diabetes mellitus,increased LP (a),hyperlipoidemia,MAU and HCY are risk factors of carotid atherosclerosis and plaque formation,and the contribution of each factor can multiply and overlap,more risk factors means greater risk.

Objective To investigate the epidemic status of endemic fluorosis in Shandong Province,Jining City,and to provide a basis for prevention and control of the disease.Methods Based on Shandong Provincial Project Technical Solutions for Endemic Fluorosis,Rencheng,Jinxiang,Yutai,Jiaxiang and Liangshan Counties in Jining were selected as monitoring sites.According to the illness situation of mild,moderate or serious districts,one village was selected as a major survey site from each county(district).There were a total of 15 such villages selected.Survey content included drinking water fluorine level; dental fluorosis of children,adults' clinical skeletal fluorosis and urinary fluorine levels; water and urinary fluoride content were determined by the method of fluoride ion selective electrode; dental fluorosis of children was diagnosed by Deans method and clinical diagnosis was based on the Diagnostic Criteria of Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis (WS 192-2008).Results Sixty-one water samples from 15 villages of five counties (districts) were tested.Fluoride levels of 9 out of the 61 samples were exceeded the national standard (＞ 1.0 mg/L),and the rate was 14.75％; 1 sample ＞ 2.0 mg/L,and the maximum water fluoride was 2.25 mg/L.Seven hundred and seventeen people's real time urinary fluoride was detected in the 15 villages,including 420 children and 297 adults,and the geometric mean were 1.53 and 1.69 mg/L,respectively.Clinical examination of 755 children aged 8 to 12 showed that the detection rate of dental fluorosis was 26.89％ (203/755); defect rate was 9.12％(29/755) and dental fluorosis index weres 0.65.The detection rate of clinical skeletal fluorosis of 11 565 adults was 4.76％(550/11 565),including 303 moderate or serious cases.Conclusions The situation of excessive water fluorine in outside environment in Jining City has been controlled at a certain degree; groups urinary fluoride level is closed to the normal upper limit; the prevalence of dental fluorosis or skeletal fluorosis has been suppressed at a certain degree,therefore,the results of control should be further consolidated and expanded,in order to completely eliminate the fluoride hazard.

Objective To discuss the preliminary experience of transcatheter aortic valve implatantion in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. Methods The baseline characteristics, hemodynamic changes and clinical outcomes of the patients received TAVI in our institution were analyzed. Results A total of 36 patients underwent TAVI between April 2012 and March 2014. The mean age was (73.4±8.7) years and 24 (66.7%) of them were men. The mean logistic EuroSCORE was (20.6±9.9)%. 25(70%) patients had bicuspid aortic valves. TAVI was successful in 35 patients (97.2%) and valve-in-valve implantation was required in 4 (11.1%) of them. After the procedure, the mean aortic-valve gradient reduced to (10.5±5.7) mmHg. In 2 patients (5.6%), there was marginal moderate periprosthetic leak. At 30 days, the survival rate was 97.2%. Two patients (5.6%) developed who later showed fuel recovery, without significant sequela. Permanent pacemakers were implanted in 10 patients (27.8%) due to the onset of third-degree atrioventricular block after TAVI. To date, the median follow-up duration has exceeded 323 days. 2 patients died of cancer on 374 days and 680 days after TAVI, respectively. Conclusions TAVI is feasible, safe and effective in treating severe stenosis of bicuspid as well as tricuspid aortic valve in selected Chinese patients unsuitable for surgery.
