Objective To investigate the serum procalcitonin (PCT),interleukin-6 (IL-6 ),hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)and white blood cells (WBC)joint detection in the value of early clinical diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.Methods Choose 84 cases with sepsis and 140 cases of mormal newborn in children between 2013.6.1~2013.8.31.Used the electro-chemical luminescence method and scattering turbidimetric method to detect levels of serum PCT,IL-6 and hs-CRP respec-tively,at the same time test whole blood white cells with XE-2100 instrument.Results There were significant difference be-tween serum levels of PCT,hs-CRP and IL-6 of the patients with sepsis and normal newborns (t=6.37~10.58,P<0.01) and no statistically significant difference for WBC (t=3.15,P>3.15).But joint detection of PCT,IL-6 and hs-CRP for neo-natal sepsis,the sensitivity was 98.81%,specificity was 90.24%,higher than any of them a detection sensitivity and special-ity degree.PCT in detection of neonatal sepsis,when 0.5 ng/ml≤PCT≤2 ng/ml,it was priority to with gram-positive bac-terium infection,and when PCT>2 ng/ml,was priority to with gram-negative bacteria infection,compared G+ bacteria infec-tion and G- bacteria infection,the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.646.37~35.05,P<0.05).Conclusion PCT,hs-CRP and IL-6 detection has high sensitivity,strong specificity,they can provide evidence for early diagnosis and treatment of neonatal sepsis.

This article was aimed to study potential functions of Mori Cortex. Through the investigation of Mori Cortex in ancient herbal literatures, ancient prescriptions, the 2010 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, current pharmacodynamics and clinical studies, potential functions of Mori Cortex that had been lost were analyzed through comparative analysis. The results showed that the confirmed core functions of Mori Cortex recorded in ancient materia medica were in consistent with its applications in ancient prescriptions and its records in theChinese Pharmacopoeia. The functions summarized from the materia medica literatures contained potential functions such as supplementing qi, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, encouraging production of body fluids to extinguish thirst, removing phlegm, hemostasis, relieving stranguria, analgesia, expelling wind, and deworming. Mori Cortex compound prescription recorded in thePu-Ji-Fangdatabase were used in the treatment of consumptive disease, sore, typhoid, traumatic injury, stroke, diabetes, stranguria, arthralgia syndrome, phlegm, bleeding, various types of pain, parasitic diseases, poisonous insect bites, itching, and pox. All these potential functions of Mori Cortex were not included in theChinese Pharmacopoeia. It was concluded that combined with experimental researches and current clinical applications, potential functions such as supplementingqi, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, encouraging production of body fluids to extinguish thirst, removing phlegm, and relieving stranguria of Mori Cortex were confirmed.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin at different doses on liver function in the patients with coronary artery disease. Methods:A retrospective study was used, and the patients with coronary heart disease hospitalized in the first hospital of China medical university from January 2013 to March 2014 were selected. According to the drug variety and dosage, the patients were divided into four groups: A (atorvastatin, 20 mg·d-1), B (atorvastatin, 40 mg·d-1), C (rosuvastatin, 10 mg· d-1 ) and D ( rosuvastatin, 20 mg·d-1 ) . The basic information of patients, the indices of liver function( ALT,AST,ALP and TBIL) , the time of abnormal liver function, treatment strategies and prognosis were recorded. The incidence of abnormal liver function in the groups was compared, and the rationality and effectiveness of the intervetion strategies were evaluated. Results:A total of 269 patients were collected. Among them, 149 cases were with abnormal liver function in varying degrees, and 21 patients were with ALT>3?ULN. The incidence of ALT>3?ULN in atorvastatin high dose group was much higher than that in atorvastatin low dose group( P<0. 05). Conclusion:The patients treated with high dose atorvastatin (40 mg·d-1) have a high risk of liver injury.

Objective To study the reliability and feasibility of video-assisted thorascopic lymphadenectomy for complete resection of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods From May 2007 to October 2008,31 patients with NSCLC underwent video-assisted thorascopic radical lobectomy combined with systemic lymphadenectomy in our hospital.The patients were divided into video-assisted thorascopic surgery(VATS) group(n=14) and video-assisted mini-thoracotomy(VAMT) group(n=17).The numbers of removed and metastatic lymph nodes were counted.The results and the follow-up outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results No patient dead or showed serious perioperative complications in both the groups.No significant differences were found between the VATS and VAMT groups in the operation time [(193?92) min vs(188?101) min,t=0.143,P=0.887],blood loss [(592?123) ml vs(648?120) ml,t=-1.297,P=0.211],number of removed lymph nodes [(14.6?7.5) vs(15.2?4.5),t=0.262,P=0.795],or 1-year rate of recurrence or metastasis [21.4%(3/14) vs 13.3%(2/15),P=0.651].Conclusion For patients with NSCLC,no significant difference exists between the outcomes of video-assisted thorascopic surgery and video-assisted mini-thoracotomy.

Objective To retrospectively review the mortality and morbidity after orthopedic surgery for aged patients with reference to orthopedic version physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (O-POSSUM) and Portsmouth POSSUM (P-POSSUM) and validate the score' s accuracy in operative risk prediction.Methods O-POSSUM and P-POSSUM for mortality and morbidity were applied to 839 aged patients who had undergone orthopedic surgery between January 2008 and December 2011.Observed mortality and morbidity were compared with the expected values.Results O-POSSUM predicted 230 morbidities,but the observed value was 182 (x2 =2.718,P ＞ 0.05).O-POSSUM predicted 46 deaths,higher than the observed 3 deaths (x2 =38.870,P＜0.01).P-POSSUM predicted 16 deaths,higher than the observed 3 deaths (x2 =8.997,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions O-POSSUM accurately predicts postoperative morbidity in aged orthopedic patients.However,O-POSSUM and P-POSSUM overpredicts the mortality and should be used with caution.

OBJECTIVETo explore clinical characteristics and treatment of posterior Pilon fracture.

METHODSFrom January 2011 to January 2013,18 patients with posterior Pilon fracures were treated. Among them, 13 were male and 5 were female, aged from 22 to 63 years old, with an average age of 46. All the patients were closed fractures. Open reduction and internal fixation were performed after swelling subsided, lateral malleolous and posterior Pilon fracture were exposured through lateral approach on healthy side, plates were used to fixed,screws or small plates were used to fix the posterior prominence of medial malleolus after changed to supine position. AOFAS scoring were applied to evaulate clinical effects.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up with an average of 22(ranged, 12 to 48)months. All patients obtained satisfactory reset except one patient. All factures were recovered well with an average healing of 11 weeks. According to AOFAS score at the final following up, 7 cases were excellent,2 cases were moderate, and the total score was 86.8±9.2.

CONCLUSIONPosterior Pilon fracture is not rare in clinical, its mechanism of injury, traumatic anatomy, surgical procedure and prognosis are different from that of classical ankle fracture and Pilon fracture.
