Hip joint function of 27 cases was excellent( Harris scoring≥90) ,that of the other 3 cases was good ( Harris scoring:80 ～ 89). Conclusion The proximal femoral LCP fixation had a good clinical value in treatment of elderly intertrochanteric fracture patients. It had many advantages, such as simplicity, rigid fixation, less trauma and bleeding, shorter operative time, less complications, high heal rate, etc.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effect of steroids on reducing postoperative edema in rhinoplasty.

METHODSCochrane, Medline data, Pubmed date, were searched and updated on October 2013. Randomized controlled trials(RCTS) studies were included to assess the efficacy of steroids on decreasing postoperative edema after rhinoplasty. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated, and date analyses were performed using the Cochrane Collaboration's software RevMan 5.2.

RESULTSA total of 4 RCTS involved 172 patients with rhinoplasty, including 87 patients in the experimental group( steroid) and 85 paitents in control group (placebo). Meta analysis results showed the edema in experimental group was significantly less than that in the control group on postoperative day 1 and 3 (P < 0.01), while the difference was not significant on postoperative day 7 (P = 0.19).

CONCLUSIONSPerioperative application of steroid in rhinoplasty can significantly reduce periorbital edema in the first postoperative day. The edema can completely be relieved after application of steroid for 3 days. It is a safe and effective way to reduce the postoperative edema.

Objective To investigate reconstructive repair methods of a large scalp defect with the granulation tissue wounds and skull exposure caused by the trauma.Methods Skin and soft tissue expansion technique was used to repair eight patients with a large scalp defect with the granulation tissue wounds and skull exposure caused by the trauma.The skin and soft tissue expanders were embedded under normal epicranial aponeurosis after the formation of fresh granulation tissue wound.Strict aseptic technique as well as water injection was done in the expansion process and moderate expansion to maintain rich blood circulation in the expansive parts.Results 12 skin and soft tissue expanders were implanted in 8 patients and the scalp wounds were completely repaired.No infection was detected after surgery and injection expansion process.Conclusions The skin and soft tissue expansion can be used to reconstruct post-traumatic scalp defect with granulation tissue wound and skull exposure.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of early surgery combined with electron linac therapy on keloid.Methods The keloid patients with stable phase were selected;complete resection of keloid and relaxation suture were performed;after the surgery within 24 hours 6 MeV with Varian 2300CD radiotherapy was given,each measuring 4 Gy,total dose of 20 Gy.Results 860 cases of patients were colected for a period of 3 months to 36 months of regular follow-up,which recovered in 802 cases (cure rate was 93.26％),effective results were observed in 41 cases (effective rate of 4.77％),including 17 cases of recurrence (recurrence rate 1.98％),the total efficiency (cure plus effective) was 98.02％.Conclusions More accurately immediate radiotherapy after surgery can effectively reduce the recurrence rate,which is a safe and effective method in the treatment of keloids.

Objective To develop a safe,practical,disposable slide culture medium for fungi culture.Methods Based on the principle of traditional slide culture medium with small steel ring,a plate of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with high transparency was chosen as the bottom material of the new medium which held the size of the conventional slide (25.2 mm × 75.9 mm × 1.05 mm) with frosted design at both ends.The diameter of inoculation hole was 2.4 mm on the rounded culture dish which was designed with diameter of 19.4 mm and side height of 3.75 mm.The users could inject potato dextrose agar (PDA) or other medium into the culture dish as needed and then sealed it with a plug.The upper cover was prepared with toughened glass.The improved disposable slide culture medium should be kept in humidifying box with sponge strips in the water tanks of both sides and sealed with cap.The growth status,microscopic morphology and staining result of filamentous fungi in the totally enclosed slide culture medium were observed and the preservative status of the prepared medium was also monitored simultaneously.Results The effects of the improved slide culture medium were satisfactory in clinical practical application.The growing status of fungi could be observed visually and the pigment was clear.The original growth form of fungi could be monitored under microscope and dye material could be perfused directly to stain with good results.The appearance and the volume of packaged slide medium were unchanged after preservation at 4 ℃ for 3 months.Conclusion An improved slide culture medium was successfully developed,which should be easy to operate,high visible,satisfactory for sealing effects and reliable for culture performance with high biological safety.The growth status of fungi could be observed under microscope at any time,and the medium could also be monitored under oil immersion lens directly and stained with cotton blue.The improved medium could be used in morphological examination for fungi in different levels of medical laboratories since its favorable results in clinical application.

The traditional Chinese medicine (Tripterygium wilfordiiHook.f.,TWH) has been clinically used to treat primary and secondary renal diseases and proteinuria for nearly 40 years.However,there is a rare literature about the effect of triptolide (the main active ingredient of TWH) on the expression of oxidative carbonyl protein (OCP) in diabetic nephropathy (DN).This study aimed to provide experimental evidence for triptolide treatment on DN through its effect on the expression of OCP,in order to investigate the effects of triptolide on the expression of OCP in rats with DN.Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:control group,high-dose triptolide (Th) group,low-dose triptolide (T1) group,DN model group,and positive control (benazepril) group.The DN model was established using streptozotocin.Urinary protein excretion,fasting blood glucose (FBG),superoxide dismutase (SOD) in renal homogenate,malondialdehyde (MDA) in renal homogenate and renal nitrotyrosine by immunohistochemistry,and the expression of OCP by oxyblotimmune blotting were detected.In the DN model group,rat urinary protein excretion and renal MDA were significantly increased,while renal SOD significantly decreased and nitrotyrosine expression was obviously upregulated in the kidney.After triptolide treatment,24-h urinary protein excretion (61.96±19.00 vs.18.32±4.78 mg/day,P＜0.001),renal MDA (8.09±0.79 vs.5.45±0.68 nmol/L,P＜0.001),and nitrotyrosine expression were decreased.Furthermore,renal OCP significantly decreased,while renal SOD (82.50±19.10 vs.124.00±20.52 U/L,P＜0.001) was elevated.This study revealed that triptolide can down-regulate the expression of OCP in the renal cortex of DN rats.

To study the effects of different pH HEPES-KH reperfusate solution on immature myocardial protection, isolated perfused Langendorff model from immature rabbit hearts were developed formed. Control group (C) was perfused only with pH 7.4 HEPES-KH solution for 90 min. Ischemia/reperfusion group (group I/R) was perfused with pH 7.4 HEPES-KH solution before ischemia or after ischemia. Experimental group (group E), after ischemia, was perfused with pH 6.8, pH 7.1 and pH 7.4 HEPES-KH solutions for 5 min, 5 min, and 20 min, respectively. The left ventricular function recovery, MWC, LDH and CK leakage, MDA, ATP content, and SOD activity were determined. Our results showed that the left ventricular function recovery, ATP content and SOD activity in group E were higher than those of group I/R (P < 0.05). MWC, MDA content, LDH and CK leakage in group E were lower than those of group I/R (P < 0.05). These findings suggested that pH paradox might be one of important mechanisms for immature myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and acidic perfusate, at the beginning of reperfusion, might attenuate pH paradox and ameliorate functional recovery in isolated perfused immature rabbit hearts.
