Objective:To investigate the effect of BMSCs transplantation plus hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on repair of rat SCI. Methods:Seventy five male rats were divided randomly into five groups:sham, vehicle, BMSCs transplantation group, combination group, 15 rats in each group. Every week after the SCI onset, all animals were evaluated for behavior outcome by Basso-Beattle-Bresnahan (BBB) score and inclined plane test. Axon recovery was examined with focal spinal cord tissue by electron microscope at 6 weeks after the SCI onset. HE staining and BrdU staining were performed to examine the BMSCs and lesion post injury. Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) testing was performed to detect the recovery of neural conduction. Results:Results from the behavior tests from combination group were significant higher than rats which received only transplantation or HBO treatment. Results from histopathology showed favorable recovery from combination group than other treatment groups. The number of BrdU+ in combination group were measureable more than transplantation group (P<0.05). The greatest decrease in TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-αdetermined by Elisa assay in combination group were evident too. Conclusions:BMSCs transplantation can promote the functional recovery of rat hind limbs after SCI, and its combination with HBO has a synergistic effect.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of respiratory inhalants. METHODS:The utilization of respiratory inhalants in 34 hospitals from Nanjing area during 2012-2014 was analyzed by SPSS13.0 software in respects of DDDs,consumption sum,DDC,health insurance and self-paying cost and so on. RESULTS:Respiratory inhalants involved 4 kinds of drugs, 5 kinds of dosage forms,12 kinds of general name and 38 kinds of trade name(specification)in 34 hospitals from Nanjing area during 2012-2014. The total DDDs and total consumption sum of respiratory inhalants increased from 10 827.46×103 and 71,006, 500 yuan in 2012 and 14 627.25×103 and 99,137,100 yuan in 2014,there was no statistical significance(P>0.05). 4 categories of respiratory inhalants in the list of DDDs were anticholinergic agents,compound preparations,glucocorticoid and β2 receptor agonists; DDDs of each type increased year by year,but only that of anticholinergic agents had statistical significance(P<0.01). Consumption sum were glucocorticoid,compound preparations,anticholinergic agents and β 2 receptor agonists;consumption sum of each type increased year by year,but there was no statistical significance(P>0.05). 5 kinds of inhalants in the list of DDDs were aerosol preparation,power aerosols,atomizing solution,nasal spray and clickhaler. DDDs of aerosol preparation and power aerosols increased year by year,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Top one in the list of consumption sum was power aerosols during 2012-2013 and atomizing solution in 2014;power aerosols took up the first place in the list of total consumption in 3 years. Among 12 kinds of general name inhalants,top 4 inhalants in the list of DDDs were ipratropium bromide,salmeterol and fluticasone, albuterol and budesonide,and the constituent ratio of their total DDDs in 3 years were 40.16% ,16.71% ,13.51% and 13.39%,respectively;the sum of constituent ratio of total DDDs in 3 years was more than 80%. Top 3 inhalants in the list of consumption sum were budesonide,salmeterol and fluticasone, budesonide and formoterol,and the sum of constituent ratio of their total consumption sum in 3 years were 39.59%,20.81% and 12.50% ,respectively;the sum of constituent ratio was more than 70% . DDC of salbutamol was the lowest. Among 38 kinds of trade name(specification)inhalants,the type and cost of health insurance accounted for 92.11% and 95.02% .Pulmicort atomization suspension and Symbicort Turbuhaler(160 μg)took up the first place in the list of health insurance cost and self-paying cost respectively,and they were B directory of health insurance. CONCLUSIONS:The utilization of respiratory inhalants was basically reasonable in 34 hospitals from Nanjing during 2012-2014.

OBJECTIVETo explore the therapeutic effects of internal fixation with Herbert screws for the treatment of Pipkin type I and type II femoral head fractures.
METHODSFrom January 2008 to December 2012, 23 patients with Pipkin type I and type II femoral head fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation by Herbert screws through Kocher-Langenbeck approach. Twenty-three patients (aged 18 to 52 years with a mean of 35.5 years, including 18 males and 5 females patients, 8 left hips and 15 right hips) with femoral head fractures and posterior hip dislocation. The fracture was classified according to Pipkin classification based on the radiographic findings, 5 patients had type I and 18 had type II fractures. The duration time from admission to the operation ranged from 6 to 72 h (averaged 32 h). The clinical and radiographic outcomes of the patients were measured using Thompson-Epstein scoring scale. The Harris hip score(HHS) was used to evaluate and compare hip functions at the latest follow-up between affected and healthy sides.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 20 to 48 months (averaged 30 months). According to Thompson-Epstein system, 12 patients got an excellent result, 6 good, 4 fair and 1 poor. The average HHS at the finial follow-up was 87.80 ± 8.46 (ranged from 66 to 95), which is similar to that in the healthy side 90.10 ± 6.35 (ranged from 72 to 98) (t = 1.044, P = 0.302). The complications such as deep infection, and deep vein thrombosis were not found. At the 3rd year during follow-up,4 patients had avascular necrosis of femoral head. At the 1st year of follow-up, 1 patient had hip pain after walking,screws loosening and shift after trauma,and serious complications of traumatic arthritis. All the 5 patients were treated with total hip arthroplasties.
CONCLUSIONThe treatment of internal fixation with Herbert screws through the Kocher-Langenbeck approach is effective for Pipkin type I and type II femoral head fracture. The method is reliable and valuable for recommendation. However, such fracture may have avascular necrosis of femoral head and complication of traumatic arthritis, which should be observed carefully in clinic with preparation of the prevention and treatment measures.
