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.

BACKGROUND: As dental implants, pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V has achieved broad clinical applications, but they also contain toxic vanadium and aluminum element. Moreover, their elastic modulus is so high as to produce stress shield. OBJECTIVE: To examine the micro-hardness and elastic modulus of the self-made Ti-30Nb-8Zr-2Mo titanium alloy. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An observational experiment was performed at the laboratory of College of Material Science and Engineering at Hebei University of Technology between March 2003 and February 2006. MATERIALS: Titanium alloy was prepared using titanium sponge (≥ 99% purify), niobium strip (≥ 99.9% purify), molybdenum powder (≥ 99% purify) and zirconium sponge (≥ 99.4% purify).METHODS: The micro-hardness of the specimens was determined after uniformly annealing, hot-forging and solution. Compression test was conducted on post-aging samples. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Hardness and stress-strain curve.RESULTS: The maximal alloy strength was obtained after solution under 800 ℃ for 0.5 hours. Post-aging alloy's hardness was improved significantly although little change occurred on solution alloy. Compressive strength of alloy samples was 1 054 MPa, while elastic modulus reached 16.5 GPa. CONCLUSION: Both micro-hardness and elastic modulus of the self-made Ti-30Nb-8Zr-2Mo titanium alloy have satisfied performance requirements for dental implant materials.

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.
