Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 1998;0(02):-
Objective To investigate the effect of perinatal care on the reduction of the maternal and perinatal mortality. Methods The perinatal care and the relationship between the maternal and perinatal mortality during 1980 to 1997 were analysed. The factors that related to the morality were studied. Results The maternal mortality rate was significantly decreased from 31.7/10~5 live births in 1960 to 16.1/10~5 live births in 1992~1997. The main cause of maternal deaths in 1960' was obstetrical factors, but in 1997 it was pregnancy complications. The perinatal mortality rate was 21.2‰ in 1980~1981 ,and was 10.9‰ in 1992~1997. The factors related to the maternal and perinatal mortality including the perinatal care, high risk pregnancy,and birth weight were analysed, the specific mortality rate of each factor was calculated. Conclutions The two mortalities can be used to evaluate the result of perinatal care,and are important feedback information for making health care policy. Pernatal care play an important role in the reduction of maternal and perinatal mortality.

BACKGROUND:There are few clinical control ed trials about the clinical effects in patients with pertrochanteric femur fractures after treatment with short or long proximal femoral nail antirotation.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical outcomes in patients with AO/ASIF-A1/2 pertrochanteric femur fractures after treatment with short or long proximal femoral nail antirotation.
METHODS:A total of 98 patients with AO/ASIF-A1/2 pertrochanteric femur fractures were treated by proximal femoral nail antirotation. They were divided into two groups according to the type of proximal femoral nail antirotation:short nail group (n=50) and long nail group (n=48). The operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay were recorded in both groups. In fol ow-up, fracture healing time, imaging and clinical complications were evaluated. In the final fol ow-up, Harris hip score was used to evaluate functional recovery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the short nail group, operative time was shorter and blood loss was less in the long nail group (P<0.05). No significant difference in hospital stay was detected between the short nail and long nail groups (P>0.05). Average fol ow-up periods were respectively (15.8±6.4) months and (16.2±5.7) months in the long nail and short nail groups.“Cutting-out”or infection occurred in five patients in the long nail group and three in the short nail group. Besides above-mentioned patients, the remaining patients in the two groups achieved fracture healing. No significant difference in average fracture healing time was detected between groups (P=0.588). In the final fol ow-up, no significant difference in Harris hip score was detectable in the two groups (P=0.204). The incidence rates of total postoperative complications in the long and short nail groups were 31.2%and 16.0%, respectively (P=0.075). Results suggested that no differences in the union and complication rates between the two groups were identified, suggesting that long nails offer no advantage compared with short nails for stabilizing AO/ASIF-A1/A2 pertrochanteric femur fractures.

AIM: Previous studies paid more attention to the effect of fibroblast immigration in normal surrounding tissue or blood on wound healing. This study explored the morphological character of fibroblasts after heat injury to support the new operation of autogenous epidermis overlapping denatured dermis. METHODS: The experiment was performed at the State Key Laboratory of Trauma, Burn and Combined Injury in the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from April 2006 to April 2007. The dermal fibroblast from the infant prepuce disposed after surgery was cultured in vitro, and divided into 2 groups. In normal group, the dermal fibroblasts were put in water bath at 37 ℃ for 30 seconds; the cells in experimental group were stimulated at different temperatures (50, 51, 52, and 53 ℃) for different time (30, 60, 90, and 180 seconds). Cell survival was detected by MTT; morphology of injured cells were observed under inverted microscope and transmission electron microscope at 3 hours, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 days; cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: At different temperatures and different time, there were significant differences in the survival rate of fibroblast between the experimental groups and normal group (P
