Objective To analyze the survival rate and hospitalization information for 81 2 cases of very low birth weight (VLBW)and extremely low birth weight (ELBW)infants.Methods The retrospective study was con-ducted in a single center,Department of Neonatology,Hubei Women and Children Hospital,from January 2009 to De-cember 201 4,where the data of 81 2 infants with birth weight(BW)less than 1 500 g was analyzed in regard to perinatal condition,treatment and complications of these in relation to prognosis.Results (1 )A total of 621 cases(76.5%) had favorable prognosis.(2)There was a significant difference in the favorable prognosis rate between different BW groups (χ2 =28.87,P <0.05)and different gestational age(GA)groups (χ2 =1 4.77,P <0.05).The favorable prog-nosis rate for the male infants(χ2 =4.69,P <0.05),puerpera age between 1 7 -25 and 36 -46 years old (χ2 =1 1 .1 9, P <0.05),usage of prenatal hormones(χ2 =8.02,P <0.05),the infants without intrauterine infection (χ2 =8.61 ,P <0.05),the mother without gestational hypertension (χ2 =7.20,P <0.05)and gestational diabetes mellitus(χ2 =1 9.2, P <0.05)were different compared to the control groups.(3)Infants with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) (χ2 =33.31 ,P <0.05)and recovery birth weight within 1 0 days(χ2 =29.65,P <0.05)had higher favorable prognosis rate compared to the control groups,which had significant differences.(4)Infants with intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH)(χ2 =1 3.1 6,P <0.05),respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)(χ2 =7.59,P <0.05),necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC)(χ2 =1 3.02,P <0.05)and serious asphyxia (χ2 =6.05,P <0.05)had lower favorable prognosis rates than those did not,with significant differences.(5)Logistic analysis:the lower BW,smaller GA,earlier birth,unused PICC, serious asphyxia,IVH,RDS were risk factors for poor prognosis(all P <0.05).Conclusions The favorable prognosis rate of VLBW and ELBW infants has improved gradually,and is closely related to GA,BW,maternal age,perinatal care,prevention complication,treatment of disease and social factors etc.

Objective To observe the short-,mid-and long-term surgical complications of complex acetabular fractures treated by the Kocher-Langenbeck (K-L) approach combined with digastric trochanteric flip osteotomy (DTFO).Methods We reviewed the 40 cases of complex acetabular fracture that were treated at our department from December 2009 through December 2013.They were 34 men and 6 women,from 17 to 73 years of age (average,47.6 years).Of them,19 were treated by K-L approach combined with DTFO,including 17 males and 2 females,with a mean age of 44.7 ± 11.7 years.The other 21 controls were treated simply through the K-L approach,including 17 males and 4 females,with a mean age of 42.8 ± 14.4 years.The 2 groups were compared in terms of intraoperative results,postoperative outcomes and surgical complications like infection,sciatic nerve injury,heterotopic ossification,femoral avascular necrosis,and post-traumatic arthritis.Results The 40 cases were followed up for an average of 29.7 months (range,from 18 to 59 months).The operation time for the DTFO group (248.2 ± 123.2 min) was significantly shorter than that for the control group (276.1 ±50.6 min),the satisfactory reduction rate for the DTFO group (100.0％) was significantly higher than that for the control group (90.5％),the hip intorsion (19.7° ± 3.5°),hip extorsion (26.1° ±4.3°),and hip abduction (40.5° ±4.7°) at one year postoperation in the DTFO group were significantly superior to those in the control group (14.3°± 6.0°,21.0°± 7.2°,31.9°± 10.8°,respectively),and the hospital stay for the for the DTFO group (19.0 ±7.1 d) was significantly longer than that for the control group (13.6 ±4.9 d) (P ＜ 0.05).The intraoperative bleeding and transfusion for the DTFO group were insignificantly greater than those for the control group (P ＞ 0.05).Infection or iatrogenic sciatic nerve injury occurred in none of the patients.There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of positive Trendelenburg test,hip function,heterotopic ossification,femoral avascular necrosis,or post-traumatic arthritis at the last follow-ups(P＞ 0.05).Conclusions In the surgical treatment of complex acetabular fractures,especially those involving the acetabular dome area and the femoral head,K-L approach combined with DTFO can obtain larger surgical exposure field,good fracture reduction and functional recovery,without obviously increasing surgical complications.This technique only slightly increases intraoperative bleeding and transfusion,and results in longer hospital stay.

Objective To evaluate the influence of patellar resurfacing and non-patellar resurfacing on the effect of total knee arthroplasty to provide the evidence-based basis for selecting the clinical treatment scheme.Methods The clinical randomized controlled trials(RCT)on the whether having patellar replacement in total knee arthroplasty were retrieved from the databases of Pubmed,Cochrane,Medline,Embase,CNKI and WanFang data.The screening was independently performed by two researchers according to the including and excluding criterion.The related data were extracted.The reoperation rate,knee joint pain score and knee joint score served as the measurement criteria.The RevMan 5.2 software was adopted to conduct the meta analysis.Results Fifteen literatures were included to analyze,involving 1 788 patients,among them 871 cases were in the patellar resurfacing group and 917 case sin the non-patellar resurfacing group.The reoperation rate in the patellar resurfacing group was significantly lower than that in the non-patellar resurfacing group(RR=0.50,95 ％CI:0.33-0.76;P =0.001),moreover the knee joint function was significantly improved(WMD=3.04,95％CI:0.41-5.67;P=0.02).However,the anterior knee joint pain(WMD=0.96,95％CI:-0.85-2.76;P=0.30)and knee joint score(RR=0.81,95 ％ CI:0.50-1.32;P =0.41) had no statistical difference between the two operation modes.Conclusion Conducting patellar resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty can reduce the reoperation risk and improves the postoperative knee joint function,but does not improve postoperative knee joint pain score and knee joint score

Objective To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of dexamethasone in hyperoxia-induced lung injury. Methods Use bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) method to gain alveolar macrophages (AM) from newborn SD rats. AM were adherence purified for 24 hours, then randomly assigned to four groups: Ⅰ. hyperoxia group, Ⅱ. hyperoxia plus LPS group, Ⅲ. hyperoxia plus dexamethasone group, Ⅳ. hyperoxia plus LPS plus dexamethasone group. Every group contains 7 samples. After cultured for 48 hours, supernatants were harvested. L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity? hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) and IL-8 contents of supernatants were examined in all groups. Results (1)48 h after culture, the content of IL-8 in groupⅠandⅡwas (46?15)pg/ml?(145?27)pg/ml respectively, in groupⅢandⅣwas(29?4)pg/ml?(39?8)pg/ml respectively, IL-8 content was decreased in group Ⅲ and Ⅳcompared with group Ⅰand Ⅱ(P

To determine the effect of pulmonary lobectomy on myocardial blood supply and hemodynamics, 18 dogs were randomized into 3 groups. The dogs in group A and C were subjected to about 75% occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. One week later, dogs in group C were sacrificed by arterial bleeding, while dogs in group A and B underwent right upper pulmonary lobectomy, and extremity ECG, blood routine, blood gas, hemodynamics and morphological changes of the myocardium were examined. The results showed that pulmonary lobectomy could result in or worsen myocardial ischemia. There was significant decrease in PO 2 , SaO 2 ; and CI, and significant elevation of LVEDP, PCWP and MPAP. There were more elevation of LVEDP and less decrease in CI after lobectomy in group A compared with group B. It suggested that pulmonary lobectomy could intensify myocardial ischemi and indace hemodynamic disturbances by lowering PO 2 and SaO 2 , especially where there was coronary artery stenosis before the operation.

Objective To investigate the difference of the morbidity rate of hypertension among patients with sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) in different stages, and the change in the blood levels of some vasoactive substances and their correlations with severity of SAS, in order to further explore the mechanism of hypertension caused by SAS. Methods 63 patients suspected to suffer from SAS were enrolled, and they were divided into normal, mild, moderate, and severe SAS groups according to respiratory disorder index (RDI) obtained by polysomnography (PSG) monitoring. The diagnosis of hypertension was made by the measurement of blood pressure and 24-hour dynamic measurement of blood pressure. Blood levels of angiotesnin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ), endothelin-1 (ET-1), throboxane B2 (TXB2), calcium gene related protein (CGRP), 6-keto-protagladin factor1?(6-keto-PGF1?) were determined with radioimmunoassay. Results The mobidity rate of hypertension was significantly higher in moderate and severe SAS group than that in the normal group (P0.05). Correlative analysis showed that the blood levels of Ang Ⅱ, ET-1, TXB2 were positively correlative to RDI (r=0.594, 0.523, 0.574, respectively, P0.05). Conclusion SAS is significantly related to the incidence of hypertension. Vasoactive substances with vasoconstrictive effect such as Ang Ⅱ, ET-1, TXB2 play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of hypertension in SAS patients than those with vasodilative effect such as CGRP and 6-keto-PGF1?.

Objective To observe the pyramidal neurons in the hippocampal CA1 area varying with time after heat stroke in rats. Meth-ods Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham group (n=5) and heat stroke group (n=14), and the heat stroke group was divided into 7-day subgroup and 21-day subgroup (n=7 at each group) after heat stroke. Heat stroke group was established model of heat stroke. The brain tissues of rats were observed with Nissl staining to count the living pyramidal neurons in hippocampal CA1 area. Results The number of living pyramidal neurons in hippocampal CA1 area decreased in the heat stroke group (F=11.80, P<0.01), and decreased more in the 21-day subgroup than in the 7-day subgroup (P<0.05). Conclusion Pyramidal neurons in hippocampal CA1 area decrease with time after heat stroke, which may be associated with the learning and memory impairment.
