Objective: To evaluate the effect of standard management for hypertension in community population of Suzhou city. Methods: We conducted a prospective study of standard management for hypertension in community population of Suzhou city. The project included 3 groups: Standard group, the patients received standardized management,n=81 711, Control group, the patients received general management, n=38 944, and No-management group,n=1 644 249. The incidence rate of stroke and coronary artery disease (CAD) were compared among different groups according to 2010 chronic disease report of Suzhou city. Results: Compared with initial condition, the final average blood pressure drop in Standard group was (13.78/7.06) mmHg, which was better than that in Control group, X2=1852.91,P<0.01. The incidence rate of stroke in Standard group, Control group and No-management group were 1.72%, 2.41% and 3.59%, the incidence rate of CAD were 0.43%, 0.66% and 1.29% respectively. Conclusion: Standard management for hypertension was better than general management for preventing and controlling the incidence of stroke and CAD in community population.

Objectives To introduce a small incision of anterior extraperitoneal approach to the lumbar spine for single lumbar segment artificial disc replacement. Methods Nine patients suffered from single segment herniation of lumbar intervertebral disc underwent operation of artificial disc replacement. The approach of this operation was with a small incision through medial of left sheath of rectums and access to the retroperitoneal region through extraperitoneal appearance. The clinical and surgical data including the length of incision, length of operation, blood lose, effect and complication of operation were analyzed retrospectively in these 9 patients.Results The average length of incision,time of operation and blood lose was 6 7cm, 150 minutes and 335ml, respectively. The clinical evaluation scales (the 5-point Likert scales for pain, function, economic status, and medication usage) showed great improvement after operation of these patients(P=0 008). No serious complication related with the approach was found. Conclusions The a small anterior incision through peritoneum of left rectus abdominis sheath and access to the retroperitoneal region through extraperitoneal, which can expose the region of lumbar segment from L3 to S1 sufficiently, is a safe and mini-lesion approach for single lumbar segment artificial disc replacement.

[Objective]To explore the intermediate result of the use of allograft grafting for bone defects in revision total hip arthroplasty.[Methods]A retrospective study was carried out on 22 patients(22 hips) with the use of allograft grafting for bone defects in revision of total hip arthroplasty from April 2000 to April 2005.There were 13 male and 9 female with mean age of 65.5 years.According to the AAOS system,the bone defects in acetabulum were classified into type I in 5 hips,type II 14 hips and type III 3 hips,and on the femoral side,they were classified into type I in 3 hips,type II 12 hips and type III 2 hips.The reconstruction of bone defects in acetabulum contained structural bone graft in 5 hips,impaction bone graft in 12 hips,and metal wire mesh with bone graft in 5 hips.On the femoral side,3 hips were dealed with structural bone graft,12 hips were done with impaction bone graft,and 2 hips were repaired by metal wire mesh with bone graft.Harris Hip Score System and radiography were used to evaluate the clinical efficiency.[Results]The mean follow-up time was 61 months(37～97 months).Harris score improved from 45 points(30～65) pre-revision to 86 points(62～96) at the final follow-up.Insion drainage occurred in one hip.One patient remain slight pain in hip.No prothesis loosening,radiolucent lines were observed during the follow-up.None need to second revision.[Conclusion]During the THA revision surgery,adopting suitable allografts to repair the different types of bone defects is feasible and the mid-term result is good.

[Objective] To analyze the cases performed by unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in order to assess the early outcome,and to discuss the indications and the key points of surgical technique.[Methods]Under the principle of "slight undercorrection",15 patients were performed by unicompartmental knee arthoplasty with the technique of limited medial release if necessary.The HSS score,the fomeral tibial angle and the maxima degree of flexion and extension measured preoperatively and in the latest follow-up were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 with the method of paired t test.Meanwhile the angle of the posterior slope of the tibial implants was measured.[Results]Postoperatively the HSS score,the fomeral tibial angle and the maxima degree of flexion and extension were improved significantly in the latest follow-up,and the average angle of the posterior slope of the tibial implants was 4.2 degrees.[Conclusion]Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has a satisfing early outcome.And it is very important to carry out the indications strictly.With the surgical technique of limited medial release,the flexional contracture could also be improved significantly.

Objective To evaluate retrospectively the hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of severe comminuted intraarticular fractures of the proximal humerus.Method Thirty one patients suffered from severe comminuted intraarticular fractures of the proximal humerus were treated with shoulder hemiarthroplasty through Thompson approach from March 2000 to October 2004.The results were graded into the excellent,the good,the fair and the poor according to the scoring system-modification for hemiarthroplasty(SSMH) of Los Angeles California,USA(UCLA) basing on shoulder paining,functional status muscle strength and range of motion.Rusults The average operative time cost 65 minutes(ranged from 40 to 90 minutes),average amount of bleeding during operation were 280 ml(ranged from 200 to 350 ml).The patients exercised early postoperatively.After an average duration of 14.1 months of follow-up(ranging from 5 to 42 months),there were no infection and/or nerve damage occurred postoperatively,and the position of the prosthesis was confirmed to be excellent,moreover no lessening prosthesis,prosthesis dislocation,and/or prosthesis milieu fractures occurred radiographically.The outcomes of the treatment were excellent in 13,good in 14,fair in 3 and poor in 1 out of the 31 cases. The rate of both the excellent and the good were 87.10%.Conclusion Shoulder hemiarthroplasty is a preferable technique in the treatment of severe comminuted intraarticular fractures of the proximal humerus.
