Objective To investigate the surgical method and clinical curative results of acetabulum top compression fractures with sea gull sign. Methods Data of 14 patients who had acetabulum top compression fractures with sea gull sign were retrospectively analyzed and were accepted surgical therapy and followed up. There were 5 females and 9 males, aged from 28 to 71 years (average, 49.9 years). The pre-operative time was from 4 to 14 days (average, 9 days). Letournel-Judet fracture classifica-tion:eight cases for the anterior column+posterior semi-transverse, six cases for a simple anterior column. Three patients with lum-bar compression fracture, two patients with tibial plateau fracture, one patient with multiple rib fractures. All patients were accept-ed open reduction and bone graft and internal fixation through ilioinguinal approach or ilioinguinal approach+Kocher-Langenbeck approach. The quality of fracture reduction was assessed according to the Matta reduction criterion after operation. The hip func-tion was evaluated according to Matta. Results 14 patients were followed up from 6 to 60 months (average, 36 months). All pa-tients reached bone healing;healing time was from 3 months to 4 months (average, 3.4 months). According to the Matta reset stan-dard after operation, there were 6 excellent cases, 5 good cases, 2 fair cases, 1 poor case, the excellent and good rate was 78.5%(11/14). The Matta was from 10 to 18 scores (average, 16.4 scores), 5 excellent cases, 5 good cases, 3 fair cases, 1 poor case, the ex-cellent and good rate was 71.4%(10/14). Traumatic arthritis occurred in 3 patients. Pain was serious in two patients and disap-peared after total hip joint replacement. Pain was mild for one patient and disappeared after accepted non steroidal painkiller. One patient had heterotopic ossification after operation, which was not treatmented because of no obvious symptom. Conclusion The appropriate operation time of acetabular roof compression fracture with sea gull sign was from 5 to 10 days after fracture, which was no more than two weeks had best. Through ilioinguinal approach or ilioinguinal approach+Kocher-Langenbeck approach, the articular surface could be reduced excellent and got sufficient bone graft. The clinical efficacy was satisfactory after operation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of lacunar closure-assisted internal fixation in the one-stage treatment of Morel-Lavallée injury complicated with pelvic fracture.Methods:The 32 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated for Morel-Lavallée injury complicated with pelvic fracture at Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from May 2018 to November 2020. They were 21 males and 11 females, aged from 18 to 58 years (average, 40.5 years). The injury was located at a unilateral hip in 20 cases, at bilateral hips in 6 cases, at low back in 4 cases, and at posterior thigh in 2 cases. The pelvic fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation while the Morel-Lavallée injuries by lacunar closure at the same time. Their wound healing, pelvic function and complications were observed regularly.Results:The hospital stay of 32 patients ranged from 14 to 28 days, averaging 19.2 days. The patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months (mean, 9.3 months). The area of Morel-Lavallée injury healed after one lacunar closure in 23 patients who obtained fine skin survival and no soft tissue necrosis or other complications; the wounds in the Morel-Lavallée injury area healed well after secondary lacunae closure in 4 patients. Superficial sensation of the skin decreased around the Morel-Lavallée injury area after wound healing in 3 patients. Wound fat liquefaction was found in the Morel-Lavallée injury area but responded to symptomatic treatment in one patient. A small amount of wound secretion found in the Morel-Lavallée injury area was cured also by symptomatic treatment in another patient whose bacterial culture was negative. All the fractures healed after 3 to 6 months (average, 3.9 months). At the last follow-up, the Majeed scores for the pelvic function ranged from 65 to 100 points, averaging 84.5 points.Conclusion:For Morel-Lavallée injury complicated with pelvic fracture, lacunar closure-assisted internal fixation can result in a satisfactory one-stage treatment.

Objective To study the prevalence and distribution of high-normal blood pressure (BP) and the prevalence rates of risk factors related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among Uygur,Kazak,Mongolian and Han populations in Boertala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang. Methods 4325 Subjects,with numbers of Uygur,Kazak,Mongolian,Han ethnicities as 1247,1047,817,1214 cases,respectively and aged 20-79 years,were selected from the cross-sectional study on hypertension in Boertala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang. The prevalence rates of related risk factors on CVD were analyzed among multiethnic populations with high-normal BP. Results (1) The prevalence rates of high-normal BP were 39.2%,34.5%,36.0%,36.5% respectively in Uygur,Kazak,Mongolian,Han populations. The prevalence rate of aged <40 years in Uygur,Kazak,Mongolian was higher than that of aged 40-60 (P=0.000,0.006,0.016 respectively in Uygur,Kazak,Mongolian) and >60 years (all the P=0.000 in the three ethnic populations) in the same ethnic population. (2) In the high-normal BP groups,subjects with both SBP (120-139 mm Hg) and DBP (80-89 mm Hg) at high-normal BP level accounted for the majority (>45%) while subjects with only DBP (80-89 mm Hg) at high-normal BP level had the lowest prevalence rate (>13%). (3) The prevalence rates of overweight-obesity (body mass index≥24.0 kg/m~2),visceral obesity (waist circumference≥male 85 cm/female 80 cm),dyslipidemia and≥1 risk factors of CVD in multiethnic populations respectively were≥57%,62%,43 % and 82 %. (4) Analyzed by multiple regression,aging,over-weight and or obesity,being male etc. were risk factors for high-normal BP. Conclusion High-normal blood pressure was common among aged 20-79 years Uygur,Kazak,Mongolian,Han populations,especially among people <40 years,in Xinjiang Boertala region,which was often accompanied by others risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Prevention and control programs on risk factors for population with high-normal blood pressure need to be strongly advocated.

Objective To assess the frequency of different subtype of spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) in Chinese Han population. Methods The nueleotide repeat mutations of SCA1, SCA2, SCA3/ MJD, SCA6, SCAT, SCA8, SCA10, SCA12, SCA17 and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) were detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), Southern blot, recombinant DNA technology by T-vector cloning and direct sequencing technique in a cohort of 559 Mainland Chinese patients affected by spinocerebellar ataxia, including 363 families with autosomal dominant SCA (AD-SCA) and 196 sporadic cases. Results Among the 363 AD-SCA families, 15 families (4. 13%) were positive for SCA1, 26 (7. 16%) for SCA2, 187 (51.52%) for SCA3/MJD, 6 (1.65%) for SCA6, 7 (1.93%) for SCA7, 1 (0. 28%) for SCA12 and 1 (0. 28%) positive for SCA17; 120(33. 06%) were negative for all the tested SCAs. There were 2 (1.02%) SCAI, 3 (1.53%) SCA2, 15 (7. 65%) SCA3/MJD, 3 (1.53%) SCA6 and 173 (88.27%) not identified in the 196 sporadic SCA patients. None of the SCA8, SCA10 and DRPLA mutation was found. Conclusions SCA3/MJD is a substantially common subtype of AD-SCAs and sporadic SCA in Chinese Han patients with SCAs, subsequently followed by SCA2, SCA1, SCAT and SCA6; SCA12 and SCA17 are uncommon subtypes, while SCA8, SCA10, and DRPLA are rare, if not absent. SCA17 subtype was initially identified in mailand China. Some other genes might be causative in those unidentified AD-SCA pedigrees, and other etiological factors besides genetic cause might contribute for those sporadic cases.
