[Objective]To study the surgical technique for the treatment of acetabular fractures.[Method]Retrospective analysis on consecutive acetabular fractures operatively treated at our hospital from January 1995 to March 2005 was made to find out the correlation factors influenced on the operative approaches.[Result]A total of 107 cases had surgery for an acetabular fracture in the meamtime.Of them,44 were exposed through a Kocher-Langenbeck approach,5 through an extended iliofemoral route,30 through an ilioinguinal or an anterior extensile approach,and 28 through a combined anterior and posterior incisions.After operation,anatomic reduction was obtained in 66 cases,good reduction in 36,incomplete reduction in 5.According to AAOS score,the satisfactory rate was 89.72% after following-up 1 to 11 years.[Conclusion]To determine reasonable surgical exposure of an acetabular fracture,the key factors are fracture type and its displacement direction,and the important reference factors include associated injuries with the fracture,operative time and complications related to different operative routes.

Objective To assess the reliability of the modified lateral transgluteal approach (modified Bauer approach) to the hip for the joint prosthesis.Method The Bauer approach modification was used for 43 hip endoprosthetic replacement.Results The modified approach provided good exposure of the hip for arthroplasty, and early chance of function recovery.Excellent and good rate was 96.97% according to Harris result evaluation. No evidence of weakness of abductors of the hip and damage to superior glouteal nerve was found at six months.Conclusion The modified Bauer approach is reliable and recommendable for primary hip replacement because of its good exposure of the hip and the least disturbance to the abductor function.

Objective To study method and timing of internal fixation for long bone fractures in polytraumatized patients with fat embolism syndrome (FES). Methods Twenty-eight cases of polytraumatized patients with FES received internal fixation for their long bone fractures in our hospital from January 1990 to August 2004. The method and timing of internal fixation were analyzed retrospectively. The long bone fractures in 27 cases were treated 5 to 7 days after their clinic FES symptoms disappeared, while one fracture was treated five days after the FES symptoms were relieved and the vital signs became stable. Eleven cases of long bone fracture were treated with open fixation by unreamed or slightly reamed intramedullary nailing while 27 cases were fixated with plate internally. Results Of the 27 patients who received open reduction and internal fixation for their fractures 5 to 7 days after disappearance of FES symptoms, 22 cases experienced no postoperative complications but fever and quickened pulse reoccurred in five cases after the first osteosynthesis. However, FES-like symptoms reoccurred in the one case who received the first operation when FES did not disappear. Conclusions Internal fixation by plate and intramedullary nailing without reaming are safe for polytraumatized patients with FES and long bone fractures. Proper timing of the first surgery for this kind of patient should be 5 to 7 days after the disappearance of FES.

Objective To evaluate and monitor the efifcacy of GnRH analogs (GnRHa) therapy. Methods Thirty girls with central precocious puberty diagnosied by LHRH stimulation test were treated with GnRHa for 6-24 months. The LHRH stimula-tion test were performed again at 3 months after initiation of therapy and then every 6 months during treatment. The relationship of peark LH and clinical suppressing pubertal (including Turner stage, bone age, grwoth speed) were compared. The monitor effect of peak LH to efifcacy of GnRHa were eveluated. Results Ninety LHRH stimulation tests were performed, only 7 cases were found to have clinical pubertal development. After 6 months treatment, the base LH level of thirty girls (0.48±0.20) IU/L was signiifcantly lower than that before the treatment (0.75±0.35 IU/L) (P=0.000). The correlation coefifcient between base LH and peak LH was 0.62. The best correlation between clinical suppressing pubertal and LHRH stimulation test was achieved when peak LH was less than 2 IU/L (85.7%sensitivity, 100%speciifcity). Conclusions Base LH value can be used in preliminary as-sessment of the efifcacy of GnRHa therapy for girls with central precocious puberty. The peak LH less than 2 IU/L can be as the indicator of treatment efifcacy.

BACKGROUND: Repair of segmental bone defects is one of the difficult problems in orthopaedics. Although the therapeutic effect on bone autograft is the best, the source is limited and there is lack of suitable substitutive materials for autologous bone.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the therapeutic effects of surface-decalcified bone matrix gelation(SDBMG) and the substitutive possibility of autologous bone on repair of segmental bone defects.DESIGN: The research was designed as completely randomized controlled experiment. The clinical research was designed as pre- and post-controlled study on the basis of diagnosis.SEETING: Department of Orthopaedics, Wuhan General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command.MATERLALS and PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was accomplished in Laboratory of Wuhan General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command, and Testing Center of Wuhan University of Technology. Thirty-two local healthy adult male rabbits were employed as the materials in the experiment, 2.5 kg in body mass, bought from Hubei Academy of Medical Sciences. The clinical subjects were 31 patients(male 25 and female 6, a meanage of 9 years old) with segmental bone defects hospitalized in the Department of Orthopaedics, Wuhan General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command during January 1991 to May 2001.METHODS: The 32 rabbits were randomized into group A and group B. The bilateral radial bones were prepared into 1-cm bone defect in both groups. In both groups, SDBMG was grafted on the left side; in Group A, wholly-decalcffied bone matrix gelatin(WDBMG) was grafted on the right side;and in Group B, the autologous bone was grafted on the right side. Human SDBMG was provided to treat 31 cases of segmental bone defects.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Regular X-ray and histological examinations after operation in animals(Group A) and biomechanical deterruination (Group B ). ② Regular X-ray examinations after operation.RESULTS: SDBMG induced osteogenesis process "gradually" from exterior to interior. The bone repair with SDBMG was similar to that with autologous bone, and there was no significant difference in compressive strength compared with autologous bone. After clinical follow-up, except failure in 1 case due to improper selection of indication, the other 30 cases were all cured.CONCLUSION: SDBMG provides satisfactory osteogenesis and reliable mechanical property. It can be taken as the suitable substitutive material for autologons bone in the repair of segmental bone defects. But it is cautious for the application of SDBMG to infective bone defect in the active phase.

Objective To evaluate the in vitro activity of seven imidazole antifungals against clinical isolates of common Candida species.Methods According to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) microdilution method M27-A3,the in vitro activity of luliconazole,ketoconazole,miconazole,econazole,clotrimazole,sertaconazole and bifonazole was determined among 183 clinical isolates belonging to 5 species of Candida.Results The minimal inhibitory concentration range was 0.03-8 (geometric mean:0.067) mg/L for ketoconazole,0.03-16 (geometric mean:0.071 ) mg/L for miconazole,0.03-8 (geometric mean:0.207) mg/L for econazole,0.03-8 (geometric mean:0.061 ) mg/L for clotrimazole,0.03-16 (geometric mean:0.187) mg/L for sertaconazole and 0.03 -＞16 (geometric mean:1.050) mg/L for bifonazole. Luliconazole exhibited a superior activity against the 5 species of Candida in vitro,with the MIC range being 0.03-8 mg/L,geometric mean MIC 0.087 mg/L,MIC50 0.06 mg/L and MIC90 0.5 mg/L,respectively.However,some Candida isolates were identified to be relatively insensitive to these tested antifungals,including luliconazole.Conclusion All the tested imidazole antifungals,except for bifonazole,show an excellent activity against Candida species in vitro,but there exist a few Candida strains with relative insensitivity.

ObjectiveTo dynamically observe the paradoxical effect (inhibitory at low concentratin but promotive at high concentration) of caspofungin and micafungin across Candida species in vitro.MethodsA broth microdilution testing was performed following the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI) M27-A2 document to observe the paradoxical effect of caspofungin and micafungin across 85 Candida strains.The growth of Candida was observed on a daily basis for 7 days.ResultsAt 48 hours,the prevalence of paradoxical growth in C.albicans,C.glabrata,C.parapsilosis,C.tropicalis,C.dubliniensis and other species of Candida was 90％,20％,41.7％,37.5％,33.3％ and 28.6％ respectively after caspofungin treatment,and 5％,0,0,25％,33.3％and 0 respectively after micafungin treatment.The concentration range of caspofungin required for the paradoxical growth of C.albicans,C.glabrata,C.parapsilosis,C.tropicalis,C.dubliniensis and other species of Candida was 4-16,8-32,8-32,2-8,2-8,8-32 μg/ml respectively,and that of micafungin for the paradoxical growth of C.albicans,C.tropicalis and C.dubliniensis was 4-16,4-32 and 1-8 μg/ml,respectively.After 48 hours,the prevalence of paradoxical growth still increased in C.parapsilosis,C.glabrata,and other species of Candida following caspofungin treatment,and in C.albicans and C.glabrata following micafungin treatment.ConclusionsThe occurrence,and time of occurrence,of paradoxical effect of echinocandins is Candida speciesand drug-specific.The prevalence of paradoxical effect is higher for caspofungin than for micafungin,which seems unrelated to their MICs against Candida species.

Objectives:To investigate the proportion of MSM among males over 15 years old and analyze its related factors to provide a reference for estimation of MSM size.Methods:Using cross-sectional survey design, multi-stage sampling method, and street interception survey method, a survey was conducted on males over 15 years old in Kunming from October to December 2019, with an estimated sample size of 9 908.Results:Totally, 10 707 males were recruited from 30 sites in 5 counties, and 10 283 were effectively surveyed with a response rate of 96.0%. Respondents aged 16 to 40 accounted for 75.3% (7 748), senior high school or above 71.1% (7 312), and unmarried 49.8% (5 121). The proportion of homosexual behavior in the past half-year was 1.06% (95% CI: 0.86%-1.26%), and the age-adjusted rate was 0.97% (95% CI: 0.78%-1.16%). And multivariate logistic regression showed the associated factors for homosexual behavior as following: proportion of main urban area was 2.217 times (95% CI:1.004-4.895) that of the outer suburbs, registered residence outside Kunming was 0.421 times (95% CI:0.260-0.682) that of in Kunming, having been in Kunming ≤6 months was 2.282 times (95% CI:1.262-4.126) that of >6 months, senior middle school or above was 0.336 times (95% CI:0.228-0.495) that of junior middle school and below, and being married was 0.462 times (95% CI:0.303-0.705) that of unmarried. Conclusions:The proportion of over 15-year-old males who have recently practiced male-male behavior was close to 1.00% in Kunming. The relevant factors included survey areas with a permanent residency of Kumming, short-time residency, education level, and marital status. This study obtained the data and related factors, which provided a reference for estimating MSM size in Yunnan province.
