Corticotropin-releasing hormone(CRH) is the key regulator during stress reaction which integrates endocrine,autonomic,immune and behavioral responses to stressors.Receptors mediating the action of CRH have been identified as CRH-R1,CRH-R2 and CRH-R3.In the process of stress reaction,CRH mainly interacts with CRH-R1 and CRH-R2,producing multiple physiological and pathological effects.In recent years,by employing transgenic animals,selective CRH-receptor antagonists and special CRH-receptor agonists,the effect of CRH receptors on stress reaction and its mechainisms have been deeply realized.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the effect of surgical staging and using craft bone with vancomycin for the treatment of calcaneal fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2006 to December 2012,13 patients with open calcaneal fractures were treated including 9 males and 4 females with an average of 35.2 years old ranging from 23 to 66. All cases were emergency cases. According to Sanders classification of calcaneal fractures, 2 cases were type II, 7 cases were type III, 4 cases were type IV. According to Gustilo-Anderson soft tissue injury classification, 8 cases were type II, 2 cases were type III A, 2 cases were type III B, 1 case were type III C. Firstly a thorough debridement or VSD procedures were applied,secondly calcaneal fracture were treated with open reduction, plate fixation and bone graft complex with antibiotics. Based on clinical examination, radiographic evaluation, and American Foot and Ankle Surgery Society (AOFAS), ankle function were evaluated after operation.

RESULTSOpen wounds were headed after dressing and repairing,, lateral calcaneal wound were healed during the first period. All patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months (means 14.5 months). Fracture healing time was 14 to 20 weeks (means 16.2 weeks). Last follow-up AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was (80.0 +/- 7.4) ranging from 55 to 95.

CONCLUSIONFor patients with open fractures, through reasonable clinical evaluation, staging operation, using bone graft with antibiotics can reduce the incidence of postoperative wound infection and promote fracture healing.

Abstract: Objective　To understand the kdr (knockdown resistance, kdr) gene mutation of the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) of Anopheles sinensis in Yunnan Province. Methods　From 2018 to 2019, mosquitoes were collected in Luoping County, Suijiang County, Tengchong City, Yingjiang County, Yuanjiang County and Mengla County in Yunnan Province. The collected mosquitoes were morphologically identified as Anopheles sinensis and genomic DNA was extracted by kits. The DNA templates were sequenced after PCR amplification and the sequencing results were identify as Anopheles sinensis by homology alignment in NCBI. After the ⅡS5 and ⅡS6 fragments of the sodium channels in Anopheles sinensis were amplified and sequenced, the sequencing results were multiple aligned by DNAMAN software, and the mutations were analyzed one by one with BioEdit software to determine the kdr allele types and genotypes, and the frequencies were calculated. Results This survey amplified 287 sequences, and the sequence maps showed that 1014 loci had three alleles, including wild type TTG/L (89.20%), mutant type TTT/F (9.76%) and TCG/S (1.04%). Five genotypes: homozygous wildtype L/L (85.02%), homozygous mutant F/F (6.27%) and S/S (0.35%), heterozygous mutant L/F (6.97%) and L/S (1.39%). The wild type allele TTG/L was the main allele in six sampling sites except Suijiang County. The frequency of wild type allele in Tengchong City was the highest (100.00%). That is, no mutation was detected, while the rest of counties occurred different degrees of mutation at 1014 loci. The frequency of mutant allele in Suijiang County was the highest, reaching 55.68%. Luoping County, Mengla County and Suijiang County had two mutant types. Yingjiang County and Yuanjiang County had one heterozygous mutant L/F. Conclusion　Wild type L1014 (TTG/L) is still dominant in most areas of Yunnan Province. The kdr mutation type is mainly L1014F, followed by L1014S, and the mutation frequency is lower than that in central provinces of China.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effcacy of the staple fixation for the treatment of hamate metacarpal joint injury.

METHODSFrom May 2009 to November 2012,16 patients with hamate metacarpal joint injury were treated with staple fixation including 10 males and 6 females with an average age of 33.6 years old ranging from 21 to 57 years. Among them, 11 cases were on the fourth or fifth metacarpal base dislocation without fractures, 5 cases were the fourth or fifth metacarpal base dislocation with avulsion fractures of the back of hamatum. Regular X-ray review was used to observe the fracture healing, joint replacement and position of staple fixation. The function of carpometacarpal joint and metacarpophalangeal joint were evaluated according to ASIA (TAM) system evaluation method.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical outcomes between extreme lateral interbody fusion and conventional posterior operation in the treatment of upper lumbar disc herniation.

METHODSAmong 60 patients with upper lumbar disc herniation were treated with extreme lateral interbody fusion(XLIF) or conventional posterior operation from June 2010 to December 2014, 30 patients(19 males and 11 females) were treated with XLIF (XLIF group); and the other 30 patients(17 males and 13 females) were treated with conventional posterior operation (conventional group). In XLIF group, the lesions occurred at T₁₂L₁ segments in 2 patients, at L₁,₂ segments in 6 patients, at L₂,₃ segments in 10 patients, and at L₃,₄ segment in 12 patients. In conventional group, the lesions occurred at T₁₂L₁ segments in 1 patient, at L₁,₂ segments in 6 patients, at L₂,₃ segments in 8 patients, and at L₃,₄ segment in 15 patients. Operative incision lengths, time, blood loss, postoperative draining volume, hospital stays were recorded. Pre-and post-operative visual analogue score(VAS) and Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA) were compared between two groups. According to the image data, the intervertebral fusion device was observed to be displaced and the rate of interbody fusion was analyzed.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 12 to 48 months, with an average of 29 months. The complications included 2 femoral nerve damage in XLIF group (postoperative recovery within 3 months) and superficial incision infection in conventional group(cured by anti-infection). There were no patients with cerebrospinal fluid leakage(CSFL), cauda equina injuries or functional deterioration in the nerve root of lower limbs. In the XLIF group: the operative time was (65.6±20.5) minutes, blood loss was (48.8±15.3) ml, postoperative draining volume was 0 ml. In the conventional group: the operative time was (135.2±33.9) minutes, blood loss was (260.3±125.7) ml, postoperative draining volume was (207.1±50.2) ml. The operative time, blood loss, postoperative draining volume in XLIF group were less than those in the conventional group(<0.05). The JOA and VAS score were significantly improved in both groups during the follow-up period compared with those before operation(<0.05). But the difference of the JOA and VAS score between the two groups 1, 6, and 24 months after surgery had not significant differences(>0.05). There were no significant differences in the fusion rate between the two groups 6 and 12 months after operation(>0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe XLIF fusion for the treatment of upper lumbar disc herniation has several advantages such as minimal invasive, stable vertebral plate, less complications and postoperative fusion rate, which has a better clinical effect.
