OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy of internal fixation (including PFNA and PFN) versus hip replacement (including FHR or THA) in the treatment of trochanteric fractures in adults.
METHODSReports of studies using randomized controlled trials (RCT) to compare internal fixationg with hip replacement in the management of intertrochanteric fractures were retrieved (up to January 1, 2013) from the Cochrane Library, PUBMED Data, CNKI (China National Knowledge infrastructure), Elsevier, the Chinese Biomedical Database, Wanfang Data, and manually. Methodological quality of the trials was critically assessed, and relevant data were extracted. Statistical software RevMan 5.0 was used for data-analysis.
RESULTSSeven articles were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that,compared internal fixation with hip replacement,there were statistical significance in the duration of surgery time [WMD = -2.66, 95% CI (-5.25,-0.06), P = 0.05], intra-operative blood loss [WMD = -24.20, 95% CI (-30.38, -18.02), P < 0.000 01], hospital stays time [WMD = -4.72, 95% CI (-5.18, -4.25), P < 0.000 01], bearing load time [WMD = -29.54, 95% CI (-30.77, -28.31), P < 0.000 01], total complications rate [WMD = 0.15, 95% CI (0.11, 0.22), P < 0.000 01], the good rate of Harris scores [WMD = 1.09, 95% CI (0.54,1.32), P < 0.05]. However, there were no statistical significance in the rate of deep venous thrombosis [WMD = 1.09, 95% CI (0.47, 2.55), P > 0.05]. CON- CLUSION: Hip replacement (containing FHR or THA) for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures is superior to internal fixa- tion in regards to the duration of surgery time, the mean duration of hosipital stays, mean post-operative down time, intra-opera- tive blood loss, the rate of post-operative good Harris scores. But there is not enough evidence to show any difference between hip replacement (containing THA or FHR) and internal fixation in regards to the rate of deep venous thrombosis. However, internal fixation for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures is superior to hip replacement (containing FHR or THA) in regards to total complications rate.

This study was purposed to investigate the effect of 3'-azido-2', 3'-dideoxythymidine (AZT)on the proliferation and telomerase activity of human acute myeloid leukemia cell line KG-1a. The effect of proliferation was detected by MTT assay after the KG-1a cell were stimulated for 24, 48 and 72 h with different concentrations of AZT; telomerase activity was detected with TRAP-PCR-ELISA assay; RT-PCR was used to detect telomerase hTERT mRNA expression. The results showed that the proliferation of KG-1a cells was inhibited in a time and concentration dependent manner after exposure to AZT for 24, 48 and 72 h; the KG-1a cells decreased in S phase and increased in G(2)/M phase with the increasing of the concentration of AZT; telomerase activity and hTERT-mRNA expression in the experimental groups decreased after treated with AZT, which was positively correlated with concentration of AZT. It is concluded that AZT inhibits KG-1a cell proliferation and induces apoptosis, which maybe related with its decreasing the telomerase activity and hTERT mRNA expression.

AIM:To explore the role of aloperine in ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte injury and inflammation.METHODS: The H9c2 cardiomyocytes were cultured under hypoxia and re-oxygenation condi-tions to simulate ischemia-reperfusion(SI/R)injury.After treatment with aloperine at various doses,the cell viability was measured by MTT assay.The cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.Simultaneously,the levels of lactate dehydro-genase(LDH),malonaldehyde(MDA)and caspase-3 activity were detected by the commercial kits.The levels of inflam-matory cytokines were also detected by ELISA.Moreover,the effects of aloperine on the activation of PI 3K/AKT signaling pathway were determined by Western blot.RESULTS:Pre-treatment with aloperine remarkably abated the inhibitory effect of SI/R on H9c2 cell viability,and decreased the elevations of LDH and MDA triggered by SI /R(P<0.05).Pre-treat-ment with aloperine dramatically suppressed the cell apoptosis induced by SI /R treatment(P<0.05), concomitant with the decrease in caspase-3 activity and increase in Bcl-2/Bax ratio(P<0.05).In contrast to SI/R group,aloperine treat-ment notably restrained the concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β(P<0.05).Furthermore, aloperine remarkably increased the protein levels of p-PI3K and p-AKT. While blocking the PI3K/AKT pathway with its specific inhibitor LY294002, the viability-promoting, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects of aloperine on the H 9c2 cells were obviously attenuated(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Alope-rine protects against cardiomyocytes from I/R injury and inhibits inflammatory responses by activating the PI 3K/AKT signa-ling pathway,implying a potential benefic role of aloperine against myocardial I /R injury.

Objective: To detect the expression of CRLF2 in adult Ph negative acute B lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) in newly diagnosed cases, and to investigate the relationship between CRLF2 and the general clinical characteristics, efficacy and prognosis. Methods: 103 cases of newly diagnosed adult B-ALL patients were investigated from Apr 2016 to Dec 2017 in the Department of Hematology, Henan Cancer Hospital. Bone marrow samples was used to detect the expression of CRLF2 in leukemic cells. The expression of CRLF2 ≥20% was defined as CRLF2-high group and <20% was defined as CRLF2-low group. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of the two groups were compared. Results: The Median overall survival (OS) and disease free survial (DFS) in CRLF2-high group were 9.0 months and 4.25 months, respectively. CRLF2-low group were 15.5 months and 10.25 months, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in median OS and DFS between the two groups (P=0.007, P=0.000) . The 18-month OS and DFS in CRLF2-high group were 38.6% and 25.1%, respectively. CRLF2-low group were 57.8% and 42.3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed high expression of CRLF2 was an independent risk factor for OS (HR=2.991, 95% CI 1.429-6.261, P=0.004) and DFS (HR=2.374, 95%CI 1.146-4.960, P=0.041) in patients. Conclusion: Patients with high expression of CRLF2 had poor prognosis.
