Objective To investigate the relationship of proximal femur geometry and hip fracture in elderly women. Methods We compared proximal femur measurements made from the uninvolved hip of 48 plane anteroposterior pelvis radiographs of elderly women without fracture to those of the contralateral hip in a group of 43 cases with hip fracture. Measurements of Singh index, head diameter(HD), neck diameter(ND), femoral neck length(NL), neck shaft angle(NSA) and cortical thinckness of proximal femur were analyzed. Results The cortical thickness of proximal femur in hip fracture and without hip fracture groups was (10.9±3.1) mm and (13.2±2.9) mm, and the Singh index below Ⅲ° was 86.05% and 66.67%, respectively. No difference in HD,ND,NL and NSA could be demonstrated. Conclusions Singh index and cortical thickness of proximal femur may be used to predict the occurrence of the hip fracture in elderly women.

BACKGROUND: The observation of vascular endothelial growth factor gene expression of cerebrovascular diseases and ultrastructure of cells may be helpful to understand angiogenesis and its relative cellular factors involved in the pathogenesis at cellular and molecular levels. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the method of culture of human cerebral cap illary endothelial cell by separation of capillary fragment in vitro, and to ob serve vascular endothelial growth factor gene expression and ultrastructure of cells. DESIGN: A randomized controlled research on technique and method. SETTING: The neurosurgery department of a general hospital of a military area command of Chinese PLA and the neurosurgery department of a college hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Eighteen patients with arteriovenous malformation of brain(Spetzler Ⅱ-Ⅲ grade), as confirmed by aortocranial angiography before operation, in the Department of Neurosurgery, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command of Chinese PLA were included. The material was obtained from fresh integrated specimen of arteriovenous malfor mation of brain with surrounding fresh brain tissues during the opera tion. Capillary endothelial cell was separated by homogenate, filtration and enzymatic digestion techniques. Cells grew well in culture flask and were divided into 4 groups(hypoxia state for 2, 4, 8 hours groups and control group). Each group contained four flasks.METHODS: Simulation of anoxia condition: volume faction 0.95 N2 and volume fraction 0.05 CO2. Expression of factor Ⅷ related antigen in cells was detected by immunohistochemistry. mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor on endothelial in every group was observed by RT-PCR, protein content of vascular endothelial growth factor in supernatant detected by enzyme-linked immunoadsordent assay, and cellular ultrastructural change observed by transmission electron microscopy.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor on endothelial cell and protein content of vascular endothelial growth factor in supernatant in control group and every hypoxia groups; cellular ultrastructural changes.RESULTS: Under phase contrast microscope, cultured living cells had mono-layer pebble-like typical character. More than 90% of were factor Ⅷrelated antigen(FⅧ-RA) staining positive. mRNA and protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in hypoxia 4 hours group was 0.98 ±0. 19,( 180. 77 ± 20. 15) ng/L, which was significantly higher than in control group [0, (26. 20 ± 6.33) ng/L, P < 0.01 ]. Eight hours later, expression decreased [(0. 35 ±0.07), (31.68 ±8.34) ng/L]; swollen mitochondrion, dilated endoplasmic reticulum, and lysosome vesiculation were found.CONCLUSION: Humane cerebral capillary endothelial cell can be cultured by separation of capillary fragment, which is easy to operate and the cellular purity is reliable. In the early stage of ischemia and hypoxia, expression of vascular endothelial growth factor is not enough to maintain cellular ultrastructure integrity. Cells may be injured along with the prolong of hypoxia.Zhao MG, Tang T, Gao YZ, Pu PY, Wei XZ.

Objective To compare the effect of difierent combinatio of mannitol, furesemide and albumin in reducing intracranial pressure in 451 patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). Methods A total of 451 patients with an admissiou Glasgow Coma Scale of or less from 5 medical centers were randomly divided into 5 groups, ie, Group A(250 ml 20% mannitol each time as control), Group B(125 ml 20% mannitol each time), Group C(alternate use of 250 ml 20% mannitol each time or 40 mg furosemide), Group D(alternate use of 125 ml 20% mannitol each time and 20 mg furosemide)and Group E(alternate use of 125 ml 20% mannitol and moderate or large dose of albumin). We monitored intracraniai pressure continuously and observed the changes of intracranial pressure, electrolytes, hemato-crit and renal function after use of 5 combinations of mannitol. Furosemide and albumin. Results Man-nitol and furosemide could independently reduce intracranial pressure after 1-3 hours (P<0. 05). Semis mannitol plus furosemide or albumin could more signifieantly reduce intracranial pressure, with statistical difference compared with full dose of mannitol. Semis mannitol and alternate use of mannitol and furose-mide in aspect of intracranial pressure reduction and persistence time(P<0. 05). Alternate use of man-nitol and furosemide begot higher incidence rate of electrolyte abnormality, compared with the other com-binations (P<0. 05). Rebound rate of intracranial pressure was higher in full dose of mannitol than other combinations (P<0. 05). Incidence of renal function abnormality was higher in combination involved al-bumin than alternative use of mannitol and furosemide as well as combination of semis mannitol and furo-semide (P<0. 05). Abnormality of electrolyte and renal function wag reversible. Conclusion The use of 125 ml 20% mannitol each time plus 20 mg furesemide is more reasonable than other combina-tions. Meanwhile, semis mannitol combined with moderate or large dose of albumin has certain advantages too.

Objective To analyze the mid- and long-term results after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), to evaluate the accuracy of multi-detector CT coronary angiography (MDCT) on the graft patency status and to compare the patency for different grafts. Methods One hundred and one cases underwent CABG from June 1992 to March 2008 were followed up by searching the database of MDCT (42 cases) and selective coronary angiography (SCA, 59 cases). The mean following up period was (66.79 ±44.27) months. Three hundreds and 10 grafts including 115 arterial and 195 venous were analyzed.A comparison of the patency rate between the arterial and venous grafts was also carried out. At the mean time, 2 groups were divided according to the paft lesions( patency of not). Uunivariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis were made for statistics. Results At the follow-up of (53.93 ± 36.80) months, the patent rate of LIMA, RA, SV and CV examined by MDCT was 94.7%, 92.0%, 85.9% and 60.0%, respectively. The patent rate for MDCT patients with angina was 83.5%, and 95.2% for angina-free group ( P = 0.046). At the follow-up of (75.95 ±47.09) months, the patent rate of LIMA, RA, SV and CV examined by SCA was 87.1%, 81.0%, 53.6% and 57. 1%, respectively. In SCA patients the patent rate was 62.0% for angina group and 100% for angina-free group ( P = 0.025 ). According to logistic regression analysis, only the postoperative period was statistically related to the graft lesion. Conclusion MDCT could find out the occlusions and obvious stenoses of the grafts after CABG. It might be served as a noninvasive method to evaluate the grafts patency postoperatively. The mid- and long-term patency of arterial grafts is better than venous grafts. Graft lesion is an important factor leading to postoperative recurrent angina pectoris. The severity of the graft lesion has a close relation to the lenth of postoperative period.
