Objective To compare the biomechanical properties of non-locking compression plate (DCP) and locking compression plate (LCP) in the internal fixation of humeral shaft fracture by means of finite element analysis.Methods Three-dimensional finite element models were constructed to simulate DCP and LCP internal fixation of humeral transverse fracture.The DCP and LCP groups were compared in terms of peak stress on the humeral fracture fragments (MPa),peak stress on the screws (MPa),and overall displacement peak value (mm) under 4 basic loads (bending,shear,torsion and compression).The biomechanical stability was analyzed after fracture fixation.Results The stress tended to concentrate at the connection sites of plate and screws and distributed evenly on DCP.The stress distributed in a gradient manner at the multiple screw holes and tended to concentrated on the central screws on LCP.Under the bending,shear and torsion loadings,the peak stresses on the fracture fragments and screws in the DCP fixation were larger than in the LCP fixation.However,under the compression loading,the peak stresses on the fracture fragments and screws in the DCP fixation were smaller than in the LCP fixation.DCP and LCP had similar trends in displacement.Under the bending,shear and torsion loadings,the overall displacement peak values in LCP fixation were smaller.However,under the compression loading,the overall displacement peak values in DCP fixation were smaller.Conclusions DCP and LCP have similar biomechanical properties to resist bending,shear,torsion and compression.Due to the gradient distribution of stress among the screw holes,LCP is more suitable for patients with comminuted fracture or osteoporosis.Stress distribution is more even in DCP.Surgeons should consider the advantages of both DCP and LCP to achieve better stability.

Objective The retrospective analysis was carried out to evaluate the results of humeral intercondylar fracture treated with AO reconstruction plate internal fixation accompanied by anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve. Methods From March 1996 to September 2001, sixty-eight patients diagnosed as humeral intercondylar fractures were treated in our hospital, forty-three of which were followed up and evaluated. By AO/ASIF classification, there were type C1 in 14 cases, type C2 in 18 cases, and type C3 in 11 cases. There were 18 male and 15 female patients with an average of 41 years ranging from 18 to 65 years. The patients were open fracture in 7 cases and closed fracture in 36 cases, of which were associated with humeral shaft fracture in 4 cases, Colles fracture in 5 cases, Monteggia fracture in 3 cases, olecranon fracture in 5 cases, and ulnar nerve injury in 6 cases. They were treated with open reduction and AO reconstruction plate internal fixation combined with routine anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve followed by early CPM mobilization. Results The mean follow-up of the group was 17.7 months ranging 12 to 37 months with bone union in 12 to 18 weeks. The outcome was evaluated with Aitken-Rorabeck rating system, 33 of which were graded as excellent, 4 cases as good, 5 cases as fair, 1 case as poor, as a result, the elbow function was excellent to good in 86.1%. One case experienced three degrees cubital varus without an influence on function of the elbow. The wound infection occurred in three cases healed following dress change. A heterotopic ossification developed in two cases 4 weeks later after operation. The preoperative ulnar nerve palsy recovered in all 6 cases, and there was no delayed ulnar nerve palsy happened postoperatively. Two elbow joints were restricted during extension to flexion activity by 43 degrees and 62 degrees respectively. Conclusion Intercondylar fractures of the distal humerus should be treated surgically as early as possible. Anatomical reduction, rigid fixation and early CPM exercise are the key prognostic factors, which could improve the elbow function. Otherwise routine anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve may be helpful to reduce the incidence of delayed ulnar nerve palsy.

Objective To prove with mathematical formula that the patient's blood electrolyte concentration shows a tendency to approach that of replacement-fluid after continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods Electrolyte concentration of plasma,replacement-fluid and returning fluid were compared,and they were labeled as Cblood,Cnom,and Creturn respectively.The Creturn was calculated,and the relationship among them was demonstrated with comparison by mathematical formula.At last,according to their relationship,plasma change towards to the replacement fluid was analyzed.Results It was showed that Cblood＜Creturn＜Cnom or Cblood＞Creturn＞ Cnom,and according the relationship,it was derive that the trend of change in Cblood after circulation for m unit time was Cblood1 ＞Cblood2 ＞Cblood3 ＞ … ＞Cbloodm ＞Cblood or Cblood1 ＜ Cblood2 ＜Cblood3 ＜ … ＜Cbloodm ＜Cnom.The plasma electrolyte concentration would close to that of replacement fluid infinitely with the continue of CRRT.Conclusions With mathematical model,it is proved that the replacement fluid electrolyte concentration is the final target of the plasma.We must make up the replacement fluid correctly.And this results provide the basis for CRRT treatment of electrolyte disorder.

Objective To summarize the clinical features and diagnostic flow of cervical spondylosis with proximal upper extremity amyotrophy;and further analyze the clinical effect of cervical anterior decompression and fusion on cervical spondylosis with proximal upper extremity amyotrophy.Methods Twenty-two cases of cervical spondylosis with proximal upper extremity amyotrophy were analyzed retrospectively from June 2006 to December 2013.Seventeen males and 5 females with an average age of (55.73 ± 8.64) years (38 to 68 years) were included.The mean preoperative course of disease was (19.2 ± 21.86) months (1-72 months).Clinical symptoms,imaging findings and electrophysiological findings were analyzed.The muscular strength recovery of atrophic muscles was evaluated by Manual Muscle Testing (MMT).The clinical improvement rate was evaluated by the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score,and the clinical satisfaction was assessed at followed up.Results The muscles involved in patients of cervical spondylosis with proximal upper extremity amyotrophy are mainly the deltoid muscle,biceps and scapula levator muscle.Most cases of imaging findings showed multi-segmental degeneration,of which C4,5,C5,6 segments were most common.Neuroelectrophysiological examination showed that affected muscles experienced obvious denervation and decreased action potential.The average follow-up time was (44.14 ± 20.51) months (14 to 102 months).At the last follow-up,the JOA score (16.29 ±0.59) in 17 cases was higher than preoperative (15.12 ± 0.93),the difference was statistically significant (F=51.814,P=0.000),and the average improvement rate was 73.3％.MMT assessment showed that 19 patients (86.4％) in this group had muscle strength recovery for more than 1 grade at the last follow-up.The average clinical satisfaction was 83.7％.Conclusion The clinical diagnosis of cervical spondylosis with proximal upper extremity amyotrophy requires a combination of clinical symptoms,imaging findings and neurophysiological examination results for comprehensive judgment.Anterior cervical decompression and fusion in the treatment of cervical spondylosis with proximal upper extremity amyotrophy patients can achieve good clinical results.

Objective To investigate the effects of airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) in children with severe pneumonia-related acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods Ten children suffering severe pneumonia-related ARDS with APRV were included in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Beijing Children's Hospital,Capital Medical University from March 2011 to October 2014.Ventilation variables, changes of airway pressure and Ramsay scores were collected and compared with that in conventional ventilation (CV).Clinical variables were measured at CV before APRV and at 1,4,12,24 hours after transition to APRV.Results High airway pressure(Phigh) at each time point during APRV was significantly lower than peak airway pressure (Ppeak) or plateau airway pressure (Pplat) in CV[(26.00 ±2.94) cmH2O(1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa) ,(24.40 ±3.34) cmH2O,(23.30 ±3.46) cmH2O,(23.00 ± 3.80) cmH2O vs (31.80 ± 5.59) cmH2O, P ＜ 0.01].Mean airway pressure (Pmean) at each time point during APRV was significantly higher than that in CV [(23.00 ± 2.86) cmH2 O, (21.69 ± 3.12) cmH2 O, (20.89 ± 3.31) cmH2 O, (20.46 ± 3.48) cmH2 O vs (17.50 ± 2.37) cmH2 O, P ＜ 0.05].Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) were significantly decreased at 4, 12 and 24 hours after APRV than that in CV [(73.00 ± 22.39) ％, (63.50 ± 20.16) ％, (63.00 ± 21.11) ％ vs (88.00 ± 15.49) ％, P ＜ 0.05].Ramsay scores were significantly decreased at each time point during after APRV than that in CV [(3.90 ± 0.74) scores, (2.90 ± 0.88) scores, (3.00 ± 1.15) scores,(3.50 ± 0.71) scores vs (4.60 ± 0.52) scores, P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions Compared with CV, APRV had a lower Phigh and FiO2 ,a higher Pmean and more shallow sedation.APRV may be an effective ventilation mode in children's severe pneumonia-related ARDS.

Multi-target drugs attract increasing attentions for the therapy of complicated neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, a computer-assisted strategy was applied to search for multi-target compounds by the pharmacophore matching. This strategy has been successfully used to design dual-target inhibitor models against both the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Based on two pharmacophore models matching and physicochemical properties filtering, one hit was identified which could inhibit AChE with IC50 value of (0.337 +/- 0.052) micromol x L(-1) and PARP-1 by 24.6% at 1 micromol x L(-1).
