BACKGROUND:Topical tranexamic acid (TXA) administration has been described to be effective in decreasing blood loss in total hip arthroplasty (THA).Most of research focus on the postoperative total drainage,but the drainage at different time points after replacement is little reported.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of topical TXA on the volume of drainage at different time points after THA.METHODS:Data of 79 cases of primary unilateral THA were analyzed retrospectively,and allotted to two groups.TXA group (n=38) was subjected to the reverse perfusion of 1.5 g of TXA (50 mL) by drainage tube after THA,and control group (n=41) was given 50 mL of normal saline in the same way.The postoperative drainage at 1,2 and 3 days,total postoperative drainage,and hemoglobin level at postoperative 3 days were collected and compared between two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in the baseline data between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).(1) The postoperative drainage at 1 day and total drainage in the TXA group was significantly lower than that in the control group,and the drainage showed no significant difference at postoperative 2 and 3 days between two groups (P ＞0.05).(2) The hemoglobin level was significantly increased in the TXA group compared with the control group at 3 days postoperatively (P ＜ 0.05).(3) To conclude,the topical TXA administration can reduce the postoperative drainage in primary unilateral THA,especially at the first day.

Objective To compare and analyze the clinical effect and adverse reaction of oral azithromycin,oral and intravenous erythromycin on the treatment of mycoplasma infection in respiratory tract.Methods In our hospital in January 2015～March 2016 year,clinical datas of 110 cases with mycoplasma infection in respiratory tract in children were analyzed retrospectively.The total cases were randomly divided into the oral azithromycin treatment group(38 cases),oral erythromycin treatment group(36 cases)and erythromycin intravenous group(36 cases).The therapeutic effects and the adverse reactions were evaluated in the three groups.ResultsThe effective rate in the oral azithromycin group was significantly higher than that of the two other groups.The time of fever fading,rales and cough disappearance and the hospitalized day in the the oral azithromycin group were significantly shorter than that in the other two groups.Serum IL-8,TNF-alpha and hs-CRP level and the adverse reaction rate in the the oral azithromycin was significantly lower than that in the other two groups.The differences of all above the indexes were statistically significant(all P<0.05),the above index in the oral erythromycin group and erythromycin intravenous group was no statistical significance.Conclusion Compared with different medication route of erythromycin,it can get better results which oral azithromycin was used on the treatment of children with respiratory tract mycoplasma infection,the adverse reactions rate is lower,is a safe and effective treatment.

The therapeutic effect of a natural foodstuffs--Wei-Luo powder (WLP)composed of high protein, various essential amino acids, vitamins (B1, B2 and E), and trace elements (Fe, Zn, etc), on both monosodium glutamate (MSG) induced obese mice and alloxan diabetic mice were tested. After 16 days of feeding with WLP diet, the body weight and accumulation of fat in liver and adipose tissue (Lee index) in MSG mice were decreased significantly, WLP diet also caused significant reduction in carbohydrate tolerance of mice as compared with wheat diet. In addition, improvement of hyperglycemia and diabetic symptoms (polydipsia, polyuria and hyperphagia) in alloxan diabetic mice were observed. These results suggest that WLP diet may be beneficial for obesity and diabetic patients.

BACKGROUND: There are various kinds of design methods about preoperative osteotomy of ankylosing spondylitis with kyphosis, but each has their own errors and limitations. A convenient, precise and available method needs to bedeveloped.OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical efficacy of two different preoperative osteotomy designs using paper-cut andphotoshop software for ankylosing spondylitis with kyphosis.METHODS: Thirty-nine patients suffering ankylosing spondylitis with kyphosis undergoing osteotomy in the Departmentof Spinal Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Yan'an University between June 2009 and January 2015 were enrolled, andrandomly allotted to paper-cut (n=19) and photoshop (n=20) groups, followed by the preoperative osteotomy design,respectively. All patients were followed for 12-40 months to compare the postoperative osteotomy angle error andcorrection efficacy at the last follow-up between groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The postoperative osteotomy angle error in the photoshop group was significantly smaller than that in the paper-cut group (P < 0.05). (2) At the last follow-up, the key parameters of sagittal spine and pelvis (sagittal vertical axis, Cobb angle and pelvic tilt) showed significant differences between groups (P < 0.05). (3) The Oswestry disability index and Scoliosis Research Society-22 questionnaire scores in the photoshop group weresignificantly superior to those in the paper-cut group at the last follow-up (P < 0.05), while the visual analog scale scoresdid not differ significantly between groups (P > 0.05). (4) To conclude, compared with the osteotomy design usingtraditional paper-cut splice, the photoshop software can achieve a smaller osteotomy angle error and better postoperative balance of spinal sagittal plane, thus providing precise osteotomy for surgeons to obtain proper correction.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of percutaneous kyphoplasty ( PKP ) under the guidance of G arm X ray machine in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). Methods The medical records of eighty-two patients (94 vertebral bodies) with OVCF treated with PKP were collected retrospectively. Thirty-nine cases ( 44 vertebral bodies ) were guided by G-arm X-ray machine to implement PKP,which were recorded as G-arm group. Forty-three cases (50 vertebral bodies) were guided by C-arm X-ray machine to carry out PKP,which were recorded as C-arm group. The operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, bone cement leakage cases, preoperative and postoperative anterior height of injured vertebrae,Cobb angle of injured vertebrae,visual analogue scale scores and Oswestry disability index of the two groups were recorded. Results There was significant difference in operation time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times between the G-arm group and C-arm group (the operation time:(31. 6±5. 2) vs. (45. 8±6. 7) min,the intraoperative fluoroscopy times: (9. 5±2. 3) times vs. (18. 7±3. 5) times,t=-10. 64,-13. 91,P<0. 05) ,while there was no significant difference in the number of bone cement leakage ( P>0. 05) . Compared postoperative and preoperative anterior height of injured vertebrae, Cobb angle of injured vertebrae, visual analogue scale scores and Oswestry disability index scores of G-arm group and C-arm group respectively, the differences were significant ( t=-3. 41 vs. -3. 28, 6. 67 vs. 7. 66, 26. 63 vs. 25. 75 and 10. 41 vs. 11. 90, P<0. 05). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion The treatment of OVCF with PKP guided by G-arm X-ray machine could significantly shorten operation time, reduce the intraoperative fluoroscopy times and the operative difficulty,and increase operation safety than PKP guided by traditional C-arm X-ray machine.
