Objective To investigate the clinical characters of posturographic test in patients with sudden hearing loss.Methods The postural map and correlative parameters value were examined by dynamic posturography in 100 cases of normal subjects and 120 cases of sudden hearing loss.According to state of the vestibule function,120 patients were divided into normal(67 cases) and abnormal(53cases) groups.The parameters of the length,velocity and Romberg of postural sway were compared between two groups.Results The postural map was most prominent centre patten(51%) in normal subjects,the patient's map was most prominent diffuse patten(60.83%).Length,velocity and Romberg of postural sway of the patients were significantly increased in comparison with normal subjects(P0.05).Conclusion The results of posturographic test indicate that the vestibular system in patients with sudden deafness is damaged.

[Objective]To evaluate the clinical result of surgical treatment of coronal shear fracture of the capitellum humeri of adults.[Method]From January 2001 to July 2005,6 cases of 2 males and 4 females with coronal fractures capitulum humeri were chosen open reduction and internal fixation utilizing screws.The fractures were terated under direct vision and were fixed with screws.The left arms in 4,right in 2,the age of the group were from 27 to 48 years old,with the average of 38 years.The operative time was from 3 days to 9 days after injury.All cases were fresh and close fractures.[Result]All operations were successful,no nerves and blood vessels injury was found,the incisions were all healed by first intention.The X-ray films showed that the fractures were anatomic reduction.The healing time was 7 weeks in average with 6 to 9 weeks range.All cases were followed up from 12 to 52 months with an average of 32 months,no postoperative complications such as myositis ossificans or avascular necrosis of capitulum humeri was found.According to BrobergMorrey Scale,there were 5 caese of excellent,1case of good.[Conclusion]The coronal shear fracture of the capitellum humeri of adults are suitable for opening reduced direct vision and fixing with screws,prompt treatment with anatomic reduction and internal fixation and early rehabilitation could lead to excellent or good outcomes.

Objective To study the correlation between prognosis and vertigo and status of the vestibule functions with the patients of the sudden deafness (SD).Methods For 161 patients of the SD, the parameters of the hearing before treatment, vertigo and vestibule functions, were analyzed to establish a statistic model by means of Logistic regression with single factor analysis of variance, Logistic regression analysis and Chi square test.Results The single factor analysis of variance and Chi square revealed statistical differences between prognosis of the SD and hearing before treatment(P0.05).Conclusion If the patients with SD had more severe hearing loss, the prognosis would be less successful. The normal or abnormal caloric tests had influence for the prognosis of the SD, but vertigo showed influence on prognosis only when caloric test was abnormal. The degree of hearing loss was not related to that of vertigo or vestibule functions while the sudden deafness accompanied with vertigo was not due to the damage of vestibular functions.

In handling crises in hospitals caused by natural disasters like earthquake, systemati cpractical measures of crisis management are needed, which include: early contact with top managements for support in counter disaster supplies, immediate organization of temporary first aid stations by hospital staff, logistic support by full time personnel to solve problems such as drugs and medical equipments as well as food and drinking water, and psychological consultation to patients and staff members.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of direct anterior approach (DAA) and posterolateral piriformis-sparing approach (Mis-PLA) for minimally invasive surgery of total hip arthroplasty.Methods: The patients who had total hip arthroplasty from March 2015 to February 2016 were randomly divided into 2 groups: DAA group and Mis-PLA group.In the study,43 patients (45 hips) were performed with total hip replacement via the direct anterior approach (DAA group).As comparison,39 patients (42 hips) were performed with total hip replacement via the posterolateral piriformis-sparing approach (Mis-PLAgroup) at the same period.DAA group:27 male patients (27 hips),and 16 female patients (18 hips),with an average age of (57.4±7.3) years,preoperative Harris score (41.4±8.7),body mass index(BMI)(24.3±2.2) kg/m2;Mis-PLA group: 25 male patients (26 hips),14 female patients (16 hips),with an average age of (59.2±7.3) years,preoperative Harris score (39.6±8.4),BMI (24.7±2.5) kg/m2.The length of incision,operation time,blood loss,postoperative Harris score were observed and specially the hip functional recovery was fully assessed.Results: (1) All the incisions healed by first intention.No complications were found in both groups.The length of incision:DAA group:(9.2±0.7) cm and Mis-PLA group:(9.5±0.6) cm.No statistical significant differences were found (P=0.053).The operation time:DAA group (74.3±10.1) min and Mis-PLA group(37.5±4.3) min,which showed statistically significant differences(P<0.01).Blood loss:DAA group(229.6±79.2) mL and Mis-PLA group (215.7±56.0) mL.Nostatistical significant differences were found (P=0.366).(2) The patients in both groups were followed up for 6-12 months.The Harris hip scores for 6 weeks' follow-up:(85.5±4.1) in DAA group and (79.0±4.4) in Mis-PLA group,which indicated statistically significant differences (P<0.01).The Harris scores for the 6-month follow-up:(94.3±2.7) in DAA group and (95.2±1.9) in Mis-PLA group.No statistically significant differences were found (P=0.125).The basic daily hip function analysis for the 6-week follow-up:walking speed: no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups(P=0.298);Climbing stairs: Mis-PLA group' outcome was better than DAA group's with statistical differences (P=0.047);Circling,sitting and wearing shoes and socks: outcomes in DAA group exceeded Mis-PLA group's with statistically significant differences (P<0.01,P=0.016,P<0.01).Conclusion: Total hip arthroplasty through either DAA or Mis-PLA approaches could result in very satisfactory clinical effect.Comparing with DAA,Mis-PLA requires less operation time,shorter learning curve,which indicates that it is a re-latively safer approach.The advantages of total hip arthroplasty through direct anterior approach lie in less positional limitation in the early stage of postoperative period,as well as a faster recovery of hip function.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the safety of linezolid (LZD) for elderly patients,and probe into the regularity of adverse reaction (ADR).METHODS:In retrospective study,elderly patients treated with LZD injection or tablets were selected from our hospital during Jan.2014-Dec.2015.The occurrence of ADRs were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:A total of 126 patients were included,the age was from 65 to 94 year-old,and the mean duration of treatment was (9.47 ± 6.31) d (ranged 1-35 d).Forty-five cases suffered from ADR after medication (35.71％),followed by 39 cases of thrombocytopenia (30.95％),9 cases of leukocytopenia(7.14 ％),7 cases of hemoglobin reduction (5.55 ％),6 cases of nausea and vomiting (4.76 ％),4 cases of transaminase elevation (3.17％),4 cases of diarrhea (3.17％),2 cases of lactic acidosis (1.59％),2 cases of skin rash (1.59％) and 1 case of drug fever (0.79％).The incidence of thrombocytopenia in ICU patients was significantly higher than non-ICU patients,with statistical significance (P=0.019).There was no significant difference among different dosage forms of LZD without statistical significance (P=0.218).CONCLUSIONS:Clinicians and pharmacists should closely monitor the application of LZD in elderly patients,pay more attention to ADR induced by LZD,especially in ICU,it induces the high incidence of thrombocytopenia.Meanwhile,it is suggested to monitor serum lactate concentrations regularly during treatment.

Objective To observe the parameters and effect of endocardial pacing by steel wire electrode cardiac puncture on heart with normal beat in living animal, and evaluate its safety.Methods After anaesthesia and thoracotomy in 6 living dogs with normal heart beat, the pericardia were excised. Steel wire electrodes with annular or hook tips were used respectively at right ventricular 4 corresponding spots to perform cardiac puncture endocardiac pacing (each dog experienced 8 times of puncture); the time from puncture to effective pacing, pacing parameter and puncture complication (time and quantity of bleeding) of each electrode at each spot were recorded. Finally, the two types of electrode completed 24 times of manipulation respectively; the data collected of the two types were compared. Results The cardiac pacing successful rates in the two groups were 100%; the time taken from the beginning of heart puncture to effective pacing in annular tip group was less than that in hook tip group, but the time difference between the two groups showed no statistical significance (s: 18.4±2.3 vs. 19.6±4.1,P > 0.05). The parameters of pacing in the annular tip group, such as operation time (s: 18.4±2.3 vs. 19.6±4.1), the threshold value of pacing (V: 2.1±0.2 vs. 2.2±0.8), the amplitude of R wave sensed (mV: 11.3±3.2 vs. 12.6±4.1) and the impedance of electrode (Ω: 674.2±89.7 vs. 668.5±101.3) were not significantly different compared with those in the hook tip group (allP > 0.05). Either after puncture or after the electrodes were taken out, the time of bleeding [after puncture (minutes): 4.4±2.3 vs. 4.5±3.1, after the electrodes taken out (minutes): 4.1±2.2 vs. 4.8±2.5] and the volume of bleeding [after puncture (mL): 2.8±2.4 vs. 3.2±3.5, after the electrodes taken out (mL): 3.3±1.7 vs. 3.5±2.6] were not significantly different between the two groups (allP > 0.05).Conclusions In living dogs with normal heart beat, the manipulation and function of endocardiac pacing by cardiac puncture with either steel wire annular or hook tip electrode are well and effective, and the performance is simple and safe without any serious myocardial injury and complication. Thus, it is helpful to quickly establish efficient endocardiac pacing in emergency cases.

Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) or high glucose on the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression,inflammatory cytokines and fibrotic factors in human tubular epithelial cells (HK-2),revealing the innate immune-related pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) which may have clinical implications.Methods Three TLR4 siRNA sequences were designed and synthetized.After transfection,the most effective siRNA was selected to use for further expriments.The experiment consisted of 2 parts.Part 1:Cells were divided into three groups:normal-glucose group (NG,5.5mmol/L glucose),mannose group (M,5.5 mmol/L glucose + 19.5 mmol/L mannose),High-glucose group (HG,25 mmol/L glucose),preliminary validated the effects of high glucose and high osmotic pressure.Part 2:Cells were divided into seven groups:NG group,HG group,Ang Ⅱ group,Ang Ⅱ + negative group,HG+ negative group,Ang Ⅱ + siRNA group and HG+ siRNA group.Real time PCR was used to analyze the mRNA expression of TLR4,myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88),heat shock protein 47 (HSP47).Western blotting was used to observe the protein expression of TLR4,MyD88,HSP47,NF-κB,type Ⅳ collagen (ColⅣ).ELISA was used to detect the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).Results Compared with NG group,TLR4,MyD88,HSP47 mRNA and TLR4,MyD88,NF-κB,ColⅣ,HSP47 protein were highly expressed under high glucose or Ang Ⅱconditions (P ＜ 0.01),and the expression levels of MCP-1 and IL-6 also increased significantly (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with HG or Ang Ⅱ group,the above indicators were obviously inhibited in the TLR4 siRNA groups (P＜0.01).Comparison between blank vector transfected groups and HG group as well as Ang Ⅱ group indicated no statistic significance (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Both Ang Ⅱ and high glucose stimulate TLR4 expression,which result in the up-regulation of inflammatory and fibrotic factors in HK-2.Specific target of TLR4 gene silencing can block the TLR4 pathway that is activated by high glucose and Ang Ⅱ,and thus reduce the inflammatory and fibtogenic factors' release.TLR4 signal is the common innate immune response pathway which induces the release of inflammatory and fibrotic factors in HK-2 under high glucose or high angiotension conditions.

Objective To observe the efficacy ofvitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and scleral shortening for myopic foveoschisis (MF).Methods Prospective and non-randomized concurrent control study.A total of 35 MF patients (35 eyes) were enrolled in this study.The patients were divided into 2 groups according to surgery,including group A (18 eyes) and group B (17 eyes),all received vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling,but group A also received scleral shortening.The best corrective visual acuity (BCVA) examination using the Snellen vision chart was converted to the minimum resolution logarithm (logMAR).Ocular axis length (AL) was measured by Zeiss IOL-Master or A-scan ultrasound (Quantel Medical,France).The maximal value of retinal foveoschisis (MxFT) was measured by frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (Heidelberg,Germany).Multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) responses were obtained with the RETIscan system (Roland Consult,Gemany).There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P＞0.05) in age (t=0.460),AL (t=1.520),diopter (t=0.020),logMAR BCVA (t=-2.280),MxFT (Z=-4.179) and b-wave ERG amplitude (Z=-0.198).The changes of BCVA,AL,MxFT and b wave amplitude were followed-up for 3-12 months.Results At the last follow-up,the height of MF was decreased in 18 eyes of group A,and MF was completely disappeared in 4 eyes.The logMAR BCVA (t=7.272,5.951),MxFT (Z=-3.724,-3.622) and b-wave ERG amplitude (Z=-3.223,-3.243) in both groups A and B were statistically improved (P=0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.001,0.001) compared to pre-operational results.There was significant difference of logMAR BCVA (t=-2.280) and MxFT (Z=-4.179) between the two groups (P=0.029,0.000).But there was no significant difference in the amplitude of b-wave (Z=-0.198,P=0.843).The AL in group A was shortened after surgery,the difference was statistically significant (t=10.017,P=0.000).During the follow-up,there was no ocular hemorrhage,endophthalmitis and other complications.Conclusion PPV combined with ILM peeling and scleral shortening can shorten AL significantly for MF patients,and gain relative normal anatomical structure of the fovea,thus improve the vision.
