[Objective]To discuss the operative treatment for adult flatfoot deformity with severe pain.[Method]From August 2002 to October 2004,operative treatment for 12 cases of unilateral adult flatfoot deformity with severe pain underwent operative treatment,which included 7 males and 5 females with an average age of 35 years(range,20 to 56 years),left side was involved in 8 cases,and right side was affected in 4 cases.According to etiological factor,stageⅡ~Ⅲ posterior tibial tendon dysfunction were 6 feet,congenital flatfoot were 3 feet,neurological flatfoot were 2 feet and postoperative equinovarus was 1 feet.Every case received special operative treatment,for instance lateral column lengthening,medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy,arthrodesis,repair posterior tibial tendon,sping ligament reefing,FDL tendon transfer and so on.All patients were fixed with plaster cast at inversion position for 4~6 weeks,then changed to plaster splint fixing at neutral position for 4 weeks.Functions of ankle and foot were evaluated before and after operation.[Result]All patients were followed up for an average of 22 months(ranged,16 to 28 months).The total excellent and good rate was 83.3% according to Marryland foot score.The specific index of X-ray improved obviously(P

0.05). According to the HSS system, the score was 89.6 (range, 75-98) averagely one year after operation. No any complications occurred, such as necrosis of the incision, deep infection, the loosening and breakage of the internal fixator. Conclusion The technique with modified dual plating for the complex fractures of the tibial plateau provides satisfactory function of the knee, it has many advantages, such as stable and durable fixation, avoiding the replacement and change of the knee mechanics, as well as diminish the problems about the incision and soft tissue.

BACKGROUND:Forceful fixation and enough blood supply in fracture site are the fundament for treating bone nonunion. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the outcome of autologous lilac bone-grafting and plate fixation in treatment of the ununited distal ulnar fracture with osseous defects. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The own control study was performed at the Department of Orthopaedics,Sixth People's Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University from August 2002 to May 2006. PARTICIPANTS:Of 21 cases of the ununited distal ulnar fracture with osseous defects,13 cases were induced by ulnar and radial fracture,and 8 cases were induced by ulnar fracture. There were 15 cases of open fracture and 6 cases of closed fracture of first onset. Bone defects were 1.5 cm-5.0 cm,averagely 3.1 cm. METHODS:Bone defects were filled with intercalary lilac grafts. Length and axial ray of ulna were controlled. Ulna was fixed utilizing 5-8 wells 1/3 tubular plate,reconstruction plate or locking compression plate. At least two screws were used at the distal end,and 3 or 4 screws were fixed in the proximal end,FoUow-up was conducted once per month to observe clinical appearances and radiograph in each patient. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Fracture nonunion,dorsal extension and palmer flexion of wrist joint,pronation and supination of the forearm were measured. RESULTS:All 21 cases were followed up for a mean time of 14.7 months. All the patients obtained bony union,and a mean time of 4.6 months (ranged 3 to 7 months). The distal ulnar healed with < 10° of angular deformity in a coronal plane in one patient and with 15° of angulation in a sagittal plane in another one,while others (19 patients) obtained satisfactory alignment. The excellent and good rate was 90.5％. CONCLUSION:Intercalary bone-grafting with autologous lilac and secure fixation for treating the ununited distal ulnar fracture with osseous defects can reconstruct ulnar length,correct deformities,and obtain good bone healing and functional recovery.

Sequence alignment of genome nucleotide sequence showed that HPV16 of Thailand and HPV16 of Japan were more similar to HPV16 of Anhui (HPV16-Anhui) than other HPV genome nucleotide sequence, their similarity reached 99. 5%. Phylogeny tree analysis demonstrated that HPV16-Anhui and other 7 HPV16 clustered into a single branch. Con-clusion HPV16 genome nucleotide sequence is obtained from Anhui province for first time with great significance for further understanding of HPV16 variation from Anhui even east China.

Proximal humerus fractures are clinically common upper limb injury,accounting for about 4％ to 5％ of all human fractures.At present,displaced proximal humerus fractures are often treated by locking plate fixation,but complications may follow.Of them,a locking screw piercing the humeral head has the highest incidence and is thus the most common reason for surgery.Such a screw tends to cause claws of the glenoid cavity,leading to severe pain.Therefore,it is an unavoidable challenge how to effectively prevent postoperative screw piercing for orthopedic surgeons who use locking plating to treat proximal humerus fractures.In this paper,the progress in research will be reviewed on the causes and management of screw perforation after locking plate fixation of proximal humerus fracture.

Objective To explore the relationship between plasma Tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α),Interleukin-6(IL-6) levels and brain edema caused by hypertensive intracerebral henorrhage.Methods 62 patients with hypertensive intrscerebral hemorrhage( the observation group) and 50 healthy persons( the control group) were selected.The expression of plasma TNF-α and IL-6 were determined by ELISA pre-therapy and 1d,3d,7d,14d after treatment in two groups;The volume of cerebral edema was measured by CT.The relationship between plasma TNF-α,IL-6 levels and brain edema caused by hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were analyzed.Results Before treatment,the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the observation group were( 15.62 ±9.49)μg/L and (67.47 ±6.31 )ng/L,which were significandy higher than(8.28 ± 3.36) μg/L and(31.02 ± 3.51 ) ng/L of the control group( t =9.17,64.28,P =0.01 ),and Spearman analysis showed that the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were positively correlated with the volume of cerebral edema(r=0.934,P=0.02;r=0.922,P =0.026).Conclusion There was an up-regulation of TNF-α and IL-6 levels in the plasma of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.TNF-α and IL-6 may promote the formation of cerebral edema during the course of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.
