Objective To investigate the effect of homeopathic reduction technique in treatment of irreducible variant femoral neck fractures.Methods A retrospective case control study was performed for 91 cases of irreducible variant femoral neck fractures surgically treated from January 2011 to January 2014.Forty-seven cases [31 males,16 females;23-61 years,mean 40.6 years] were assigned to homeopathic reduction treatment (study group) and 44 [30 males,14 females;28-63 years,mean 43.1 years] were assigned to closed reduction and open reduction (control group).All fractures were Garden type Ⅳ.All cases were stabilized with three cannulated screws (6.5 mm in diameter).Operation time,intraoperative blood loss,Garden index for reduction quality,bone healing,complications like femoral head necrosis and Harris hip score were evaluated.Results Operation time and blood loss in study group [(41.2 ± 7.5) min,(37.3 ± 9.5) ml] were significantly lower than those in control group [(105.0 ± 15.7) min,(269.6 ± 50.6) ml] (P ＜ 0.05).Garden index was Grade Ⅰ 44 cases and Grade Ⅱ three in study group compared to Grade Ⅰ 20 and Grade Ⅱ three in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Incidence of femoral head necrosis had no significant differences between study group (four cases) and control group (10 cases) (P ＞ 0.05).Nonunion was not observed in study group,while there were eight cases of nonunion in control group (P ＜ 0.05).According to the Harris score,the excellent rate in study group was 91％ (39 excellent,four good,four fair) versus 66％ (21 excellent,eight good,15 fair) in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compared to closed reduction and open reduction,homeopathic reduction technique in treatment of femoral neck fractures is associated with shortened operation time,reduced blood loss,improved reduction quality and lowered incidence of necrosis and nonunion.

Objective The present study investigated the expression of the citrullinated proteins in the synovium and serum of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)patients.Methods The expression of the citrullinated proteins in the synovium and serum of RA patients was analyzed by two-dimensional western blotting analysis (2-D WB),mass spectrometry MALDI-TOF/TOF MS,western blotting,immunohistochemistry and ELISA.Then we analyzed the data with one-way ANOVA,LSD test,Kruskal-Walls test and Spearman correlation analysis.Results Alpha-1-antitrypsin(A1AT),fibrinogen beta chain(FIBB),keratin type Ⅱ cuticular Hb4(KRT84),tubulin beta chain(TBB)and vimentin(VIME)were detected in RA serum and anti-citrulline antibody could be detected using 2-D WB.A1AT,KRT84 and TBB were expressed significantly in the synovial membranes and synovial fluids of RA patients.Furthermore,high levels of autoantibodies against KRT84 were detected in the blood of RA patients when compared with samples from the healthy controls.Conclusion Current study has identified novel autoantigens in RA,including A1AT,FIBB,KRT84,TBB and VIME using 2-D WB with purified RA sera and anti-citrulline antibody.FIBB and VIME have been confirmed to be autoantigens in the literature,this demonstrates the feasibility of our protocol and the reliability of our study results.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for early postoperative cognitive function in the patients with peritoneal surface malignancies after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy(CRS-HIPEC).Methods Fifty-one patients(21 men and 30 women), ranged from 25 to 65 years,42-80 kg,ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ,undergoing CRS-HIPEC under combined intrave-nous-inhalational anesthesia,were studied.Patients were assigned into postoperative cognitive dys-function (POCD)group or non-POCD group according to their performances of visual verbal learning test,concept shifting task,letter-digit coding test and stroop color-word test 1 day before operation and 7 days after operation.Years of education,medical history,duration of operation,intraoperative blood loss,frequency of cardiovascular events,amount of fluid infused per hour and VAS scores were recorded.Venous blood samples were taken at five time points:before surgery(T0 ),30 minutes after the beginning of the procedure(T1 ),30 minutes after the beginning of HIPEC(T2 ),at the end of the surgery(T3 )and 24 hours after the surgery(T4 ),to determine the concentration of serum amyloid A (SAA).pH,PaCO 2, Hb,blood glucose were recorded at T0-T2.Then the data was statistically analyzed.Results According to the diagnostic criteria,twenty patients developed POCD 20 (39.2%). There were significant differences between POCD and non-POCD groups on age,gender, pre-operative complications and the origin of tumor(P <0.05).The concentration of SAA increased from T2 and reached the peak at T4 ,and SAA concentration for patients in POCD group was higher than that for patients in non-POCD group(P <0.05).Compared with non-POCD group,the levels of blood glucose were significantly increased in POCD group at T2 (P <0.05).Conclusion CRS-HIPEC resul-ted in exaggerated and prolonged inflammatory response.Advanced age,female,diabetes,hyperten-sion,peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer are associated with early POCD in the patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC.
