Objective To investigate the therapy of DHS,PFNA and Intertan nail for the treatment in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures.Methods One hundred and one elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures were collected.Thirty-four cases of them were undertaken DHS (DHS group),33 cases for PFNA (PFNA group),and 34 cases for Intertan nail (INTERTAN group).Operative time,blood loss and complications were observed.Results The Operative time of patients in DHS,PFNA and Intertan groups were (85.1 ± 8.9) min,(63.1 ± 8.2) min,(57.9 ± 9.2) min respectively and the difference was significant (F=12.761,P＜0.001).The blood loss amount in DHS group were (350.1 ±80.2)ml,lower that those in PFNA and Intertan groups ((137.5 ± 35.4) ml and (125.2 ± 38.2) ml,F =20.462,P ＜ 0.001).Meanwhile,the postoperative drainage in DHS group was (125.3 ± 20.4) ml,significantly higher than PFNA group and INTERTAN group ((69.4 ± 9.2) ml and (74.6 ± 10.4) ml; F =15.871,P ＜0.001).Operative time,blood loss amount in INTERTAN group were less than that in PFNA group,but no significant difference (P ＞0.05).Nonunion in DHS group was significantly higher than the other two groups (8.82％ vs 0％ and 0％,x2 =6.092,P =0.047).Excellent rate in DHS group,PFNA group and Intertan group were 82.3％ (28/ 34),87.8％ (29/33),85.3％ (29/34) respectively,and there was no significant difference (x2 =0.591,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with DHS,Intertan nail and PFNA have advantage of shorter operative time,stronger anti-rotation capability and less various postoperative complication rates,thus they are more suitable for elderly osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture.

Objective To study the relationship between clinical diagnosis and children ventricular premature beat(VPB) electrocardiogram location and morph.Methods Both organic heart disease and without organic heart disease relationship with 109 cases of children ventricular premature beat electrocardiogram location and morph were retrospectively analyzed.Results Children ventricular premature beat location shows that organic heart disease mostly results from left ventricle, without organic heart disease often comes from right ventricle. There was significant difference between above two groups (? 2=37.25 P

To investigate the RNA interference (RNAi) effect induced by vector-derived small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting the three gatekeeper genes (Rad52, Ku70, Ku80) and screen the more effective target sites from candidates for further research, by using siRNA design tools online, we selected 2 candidate sequences directed to every gatekeeper gene. According to the sequences, six vector-derived siRNAs (denoted psiRNA1-6) and one mocking psiRNA7 were constructed. Among them, psiRNA1 and psiRNA2 targeted Rad52, psiRNA3 and psiRNA4 to Ku70, psiRNA5 and psiRNA6 to Ku80. The mocking psiRNA7 was used as control. After sequence identification, the seven plasmids were transfected into HepG2 cell line. siRNA-induced silencing of gatekeeper genes was determined by using RT-PCR at RNA level and Western Blot at protein level. The results showed that the six plasmids specifically targeting the coding region of gatekeeper genes were successfully designed and constructed. To some extent, the six plasmids could reduce the expression of target gene. Comparatively, the plasmid-derived siRNA psiRNA1, psiRNA4 and psiRNA5 were more effective than their counterparts. The results suggest that the gene silencing efficiency of siRNA is different, depending on their targeted region, and siRNA may provide us with practical tools for further study on the three gatekeeper genes, i.e. Rad52, Ku70, Ku80.

Objective To learn the training effect and main influencing factors for residents′ standardized training in Xinjiang.Methods In the convenience sampling principle, 220 trainees subject to training at 10 training centers in Xinjiang were surveyed with questionnaire.Measurement indicators were described with frequencies and relative number, and x2 test was used to compare overall training outcomes among individual measurement indicators.Results Significant gaps were found among the respondents in terms of training outcomes.A comparison of six level-1 indicators and 25 level-2 indicators found that the respondents gave average comment to teaching and research training.Logistic regression analysis identified education (x2=7.575,P=0.006) and hospital (employer) or school (x2=10.770,P=0.001) as the main influencing factors for training outcomes.Conclusions The standardized training of residents in Xinjiang calls for greater improvement, namely enhanced leadership and powerful assurance mechanism, scientific planning, appraisal regulations and motivation mechanism, as well as encouraging academic environment.

Radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) has been one of the most effective treatments for prostate cancer.This study is designed to identify the related predictive risk factors for complications in patients following RRP.Between 2000 and 2012 in Department of Urology,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center,421 cases undergoing RRP for localized prostate cancer by one surgeon were included in this retrospective analysis.We reviewed various risk factors that were correlated with perioperative complications,including patient characteristics [age,body mass index (BMI),co-morbidities],clinical findings (preoperative PSA level,Gleason score,clinical stage,pathological grade),and surgeon's own clinical practice.Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) was used to explain comorbidities.The total rate of perioperative complications was 23.2％ (98/421).There were 45/421 (10.7％),28/421 (6.6％),24/421 (5.7％) and 1/421 (0.2％) in grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ respectively,and 323/421 (76.8％) cases had none of these complications.Statistical analysis of multiple potential risk factors revealed that BMI ＞30 (P=0.014),Charlson score ≥1 (P＜0.001) and surgical experience (P=0.0252) were predictors of perioperative complications.Age,PSA level,Gleason score,TNM stage,operation time,blood loss,and blood transfusion were not correlated with perioperative complications (P＞0.05).It was concluded that patients' own factors and surgeons' technical factors are related with an increased risk of development of perioperative complications following radical prostatectomy.Knowing these predictors can both favor risk stratification of patients undergoing RRP and help surgeons make treatment decisions.

Endostatin is a potent, endogenous inhibitor of angiogenesis, which corresponds to the C-terminal fragment of collagen ⅩⅧ. The human endostatin gene was amplified from a human fetal liver cDNA library by means of PCR and was cloned into pPIC9K vector. Soluble endostatin was superexpressed in Pichia pastoris (50.5mg/L) . The recombinant protein was purified by cation exchange chromatography with the final yield of more than 95%. Western blotting analysis showed positive immunoreactivity to the expressed product. Recombinant endostatin was able to suppress the angiogenesis on the CAMs. Also, the endostatin inhibited specifically of the migration of HMECs stimulated by bFGF, with EC50 being about 0.4 ?g/ml.

OBJECTIVETo investigate results of total knee arthroplasty using the long-stem tibial component combined with metallic wedge of knee prosthesis for the treatment of proximal defects.

METHODSFrom January 2011 to May 2013, 10 patients (11 knees) were treated with total knee arthroplasties using the long-stem tibial component with metallic tibial wedge of knee prosthesis. All the patients were female and the average age was 67 years old (ranged, 60 to 77 years old). All the patients were osteoarthritis. All the patients were classified as T2A style. The patients were evaluated according to knee score system (KSS).

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up for 12 months on average (ranged 3 to 29 months). The clinical outcome was assessed using KSS score, including knee pain score, knee stability score, knee range of motion score and knee walking score, knee stairs score. There were significantly differences at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months between pre-and postoperative KSS score.

CONCLUSIONThe mechanical stability of tibial fixation in primary TKA is significantly increased by using the long-stem tibial component with metallic wedge of knee prosthesis, even in the presence of poor proximal bone.
