Objective:To compare the clinical results and costs of treatment between internal fixation and total hip replacement in patients aged 60 to 75 years with femoral neck fractures, in order to provide a reference basis for choosing the appropriate surgical procedure for patients in this age group.Methods:According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we selected 69 patients treated with internal fixation and 88 patients treated with total hip replacement for femoral neck fractures, and collected relevant data to analyze the differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis between the two groups.Results:The total hip replacement group was older than the internal fixation group[68(64, 72) vs.63(61, 68), Z=-4.536, P<0.001]. There were 20 men(29.0%)and 49 women(71.0%)in the internal fixation group, and 13 men(14.8%)and 75 women(85.2%)in the total hip replacement group.Both groups had more women than men( χ2=4.706, P=0.030). The ratio of the displaced type to the non-displaced type was higher in the total hip replacement group than in the internal fixation group(90.9% vs.46.4%, χ2=37.510, P<0.001). Postoperative serum albumin levels were lower than preoperative levels in both groups, with greater decreases in the total hip replacement group than in the internal fixation group[(9.06±3.45)g/L vs.(7.07±3.37)g/L, t=-3.393, P=0.001]. The total hip replacement group had a higher intraoperative bleeding volume and blood transfusion volume than the internal fixation group( P<0.05), and the days of hospitalization[12(9, 14)d]and hospitalization costs[¥89222.1(84826.8, 93040.0)]were higher than those in the internal fixation group[9(8, 10)d; ¥51158.9(47816.5, 54098.4), Z=-5.138, -10.737, P<0.001 for both]. Weight-bearing after total hip replacement occurred earlier than the internal fixation group[32.0(28.0, 36.5)d vs.92.0(89.3, 95.5)d, Z=-10.228, P<0.001]. There were no significant differences between the two types of surgery for non-displaced femoral neck fractures at 1 year after surgery in the Harris hip score and the quality of life score EQ-5D.For patients with displacement, the rates of excellent and good outcomes based on the Harris score for the total hip replacement group were significantly higher than those for the internal fixation group at 1 year after surgery(97.5% vs.81.3%, χ2=6.697, P=0.010); the postoperative quality of life score EQ-5D was also better than that of the internal fixation group[0.9(0.7, 1.0) vs.1.0(1.0, 1.0), Z=-4.785, P<0.001], and the incidence of postoperative pain and anxiety was lower than that in the internal fixation group(6.3% vs.28.1%, 1.3%, vs.50.0%, χ2=7.928, 38.032, all P<0.01). Conclusions:The mortality and short-term postoperative complications between internal fixation and total hip replacement have no significant differences.There is no significant difference in postoperative function between the two surgical methods for patients with non-displaced femoral neck fractures.For patients with displacement, total hip arthroplasty is superior to internal fixation.The cost of initial hospitalization for internal fixation is significantly lower than for total hip replacement.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with femoral neck fracture in Tianjin Hospital.Methods:Data of femoral neck fracture patients discharged from Tianjin Hospital from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The gender, age, fracture type, injury mechanism and treatment method were collected.Results:Total of 2,150 eligible patients including 736 males and 1414 females were selected. There were significant differences in the gender distribution in different age groups ( χ2=91.63, P<0.001). Among young patients, males were more than females, while among middle-aged and elderly patients, females were more than males. The main type of fracture was displaced type (75.56%, 1,646/2,150), the displaced rate was the lowest in young patients (55.17%, 64/116), while it was the highest in old patients (81.91%, 1,159/1,415). The main injury mechanism of the three age groups were falls [young 61.21% (71/116), middle 80.29% (497/619), eldly 91.24% (1,291/1,415)]. There was a significant difference in the treatment methods between different age groups ( χ2=1,057.11, P<0.001). The main treatment method for young and middle-aged patients was internal fixation, no matter whether the fracture was displaced or not. The proportion of undisplaced patients with internal fixation (86.22%, 169/196) was higher than that of displaced patients with internal fixation (62.88%, 266/423) in middle-aged group ( χ2=34.93, P<0.001). In the elderly, more patients used internal fixation in undisplaced group, while more patients used hemiarthroplasty in displaced group. The age of old femoral neck fracture (median age was 74) was older than that of fresh fracture (median age was 70) ( Z=-2.777, P=0.005). And the displaced rate of patients with old femoral neck fracture (92.41%, 73/79) was higher than that of the fresh ones (75.95%, 1,573/2,071)( χ2=11.48, P=0.001). The patients with old femoral neck fracture usually adopt total hip replacement, while the proportion of three kinds of operation (internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, total hip replacement) were similar among the fresh ones, and the internal fixation was the most. Conclusion:Femoral neck fracture is the most common in elderly women. The patients with displaced fracture are more than that with undisplaced fracture. Falling is the main injury mechanism in both young and old people. Internal fixation is commonly used in young and middle-aged patients, while arthroplasty is often used in elderly patients.

Objective To compare the differences of prescription pattern, adverse events, economic burden and drug-use adherence between preferred mood stabilizers and preferred antipsychotics in patients with bipolar disorder. Methods We investigated 240 cases of patients with bipolar disorder from 39 mental health institutions in 11 cities in Hebei province. The self-made questionnaire was used to investigate the demographic information, disease characteris-tics, prescription pattern and medical expense. The clinical global impression scale-severity of illness (CGI-SI) was used to assess the disease severity. The treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS) was used to assess the adverse drug reac-tions. The medication adherence rating scale (MARS) was used to assess drug therapy compliance in patients. Results One hundred fifty-two patients (63.3%) used antipsychotics as the first choice (antipsychotics group), 88 patients (36.7%) used mood stabilizers as the first choice (mood stabilizers group). The number of patients in-patient (90.1%vs. 76.1%), patients with psychotic symptom (27.0%vs. 11.4%), incidences of adverse events (46.1%vs. 31.8%), drug daily cost (me-dians 12.00 yuan vs. 8.37 yuan) and drug total cost (medians 344.61 yuan vs. 144.64 yuan) were larger in antipsychotics group than in mood stabilizers group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between two groups in pattern of pre-scription, severity of adverse events and total scores of MARS (P>0.05). Conclusion The bipolar disorder patients more frequently use antipsychotics as the first choice in Hebei province. The use of antipsychotics does not alter the combina-tion medication pattern. In addition, antipsychotics cause a higher incidence of adverse events and heavier economic bur-den compared with mood stabilizers, suggesting that mood stabilizers should be the first choice to bipolar disorder.

Objective To study the adjuvant immunoactivity of polysaccharides from Panax japonicus by alcohol of different concentrations;To discuss its part with the strongest adjuvant immunoactivity. Methods Polysaccharides from Panax japonicus was sunk with alcohol of different concentrations, and 30%alcohol compound, 60%and 90%alcohol polysaccharide were obtained. Different segments of polysaccharide and OVA protein were injected to mice once a week for three times for immunity. Five days after the last immunity, the mice were executed to collect blood, and the antibody titer was determined. The three parts of alcohol compound were scanned by infrared spectrum to determine the type of polysaccharide preliminarily. Results Compared with the control group, the antibody titer of different segments of polysaccharide obviously increased, especially the polysaccharide sunk by 60%alcohol. Infrared spectrum analysis showed that polysaccharides from Panax japonicus contained pyranose ring structure. Conclusion Polysaccharides from Panax japonicus has significant adjuvant immunoactivity, and polysaccharide sunk by 60%alcohol has the strongest adjuvant effects.
