Objective: To compare the advantages and disadvantages of three staining methods of HBV. Methods: Normal Liver tissue and HBV-infected, HCV-infected ,or dually infected (HBV and HCV) liver tissues were selected for this study. Formalin- fixed, paraffin-embedded sections(4 ?m) were prepared. Each of the liver tissue specimens was detected by three staining methods, including immunohistochemical methods ,Shikata’s orcein stain and Victoria blue stain,respectively. Results: In the three methods , all of six HBV -infected cases showed intense staining, and three cases with dual infection (HBV and HCV) were weakly positive. However, both normal and HCV-infected liver tissues showed no staining. HBsAg stained dark brown with Immunohistochemical stain; HBsAg containing ground-glass hepatocytes stained magenta with Shikata’s orcein stain; HBsAg stained blue with Victoria blue. Conclusion: Each of three methods has its own advantages and disadvantages: high specificity and sensitivity, but high cost for immunohistochemical methods;complicated and overelabrate procedure for preparation of solutions, lower specificity and sensitivity,but low cost, for special staining methods.

BACKGROUND:The proximal tibial fractures within joint are a common type of fracture, and clinical treatment is difficult. The implant internal fixation is a commonly used method of treatment. However, the choice of the optimal implant internal fixation is always the key problem in clinical research. OBJECTIVE:To explore the curative effect of different implant internal fixation for the treatment of intra-articular proximal tibial fractures and to obtain the better treatment through the comparative analysis. METHODS:A total of 32 patients of intra-articular proximal tibial fracture, who were treated with different implant internal fixation for the treatment of proximal tibia, were selected from the Department of Orthopedics, People’s Hospital of Zezhou County of Jincheng City and Second Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from September 2010 to September 2013. These patients were divided into two groups according to fixation methods (n=16). Observation and control groups received LISS locking plate and common plate, respectively. The amount of bleeding, operation time and incision length were observed in both groups. Patients were fol owed up for 1 to 12 months after treatment so as to record fracture healing time, ful weight bearing time and excel ent and good rate and to observe the incidence of complications, including joint stiffness, loosening, nonunion and infection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Incision length and operation time in the observation group were significantly shorter than that in the control group, and the amount of bleeding was significantly lower in the observation group than that of control group (al P<0.05). The healing of fracture and the ful weight bearing time were significantly shorter in the observation group than that in the control group (both P<0.05). The incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group (13%) than in the control group (46%;P<0.05). The total excel ent and good rate of repair was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (94%, 69%, P<0.05). These results confirm that compared with the traditional plate fixation, internal fixation with LISS locking plate for treating intra-articular proximal tibial fractures can get better therapeutic effects, greatly reduces the injuries to soft tissue and fracture blood supply, promotes fracture healing and restores joint stability.

BACKGROUND:Bone mineral density(BMD) is still regarded as the standard of early diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis(OP) at present.But it is found in detection that different sex,age and skeleton location have different OP detection rate,so it is necessary to analyze the difference. OBJECTIVE:To compare the difference of OP detection rate at different skeleton location between males and females with the increase of age. DESIGN:A cross-sectional study taking patients as the subjects. SETTING:Endocrine department of an artillery general hospital of Chinese PLA. PARTICIPANTS:A total of 147 patients,including 54 males and 93 females, aged from 50 to 78 years old,who were hospitalized in our outpatient clinic from September 2000 to January 2002,were selected and divided into 3 groups according to age,50 to 59 years old group (n=46,13 males and 33 females),60 to 69 years old group (n=66,26 males and 40 females) and 70 to 79 years old group (n=35,15 accordance with the OP diagnostic criteria recommended by WHO[1]. Exclusive criterion: secondary OP patients caused by chronic disease of liver,kidney, heart, and gastrointestinal tract and some endocrine disease such as diabetes,hyperthyroidism and so on. INTERVENTIONS:Every subject filled in the history questionnaire in detail.Height and body mass were measured accurately and body mass index(BMI) was calculated (kg/m2).A new type of Norland Excell plus dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA) was used to detect BMD(g/cm2) of L2- 4 and proximate femur(neck of femur, Ward's triangle,greater trochanter).The detected values were compared with the normal data of young adults of the same sex and the T value(SD) was obtained. RESULTS:OP in lumber vertebra was predominant in female climacteric(χ 2=10.14,P< 0.01),and the detection rate of OP in lumber vertebra and neck of femur increased with age(χ 2=7.41, P< 0.05).OP in simple neck of femur increased significantly in males after 60 yeas old(χ 2=9.11,P< 0.05). Females were more liable to suffer from OP in simple lumber vertebra and in both lumber vertebra and neck of femur(χ 2=8.04,P< 0.05;χ 2=14.26,P< 0.01).Age had significant negative correlation with BMD in neck of femur,Ward's triangle and great trochanter of females(r=- 0.364,- 0.389, P< 0.01;r=- 0.504,P< 0.001),while BMI was positively correlated with L2- 4,neck of femur and great trochanter significantly(r=0.306,0.329,0.338,P< 0.05). CONCLUSION:Detection rate of OP changes with skeleton detecting location and age.It is very significant to recognize and evaluate these objective phenomena correctly for the diagnosis and treatment of OP.

BACKGROUND:With the increasing of aging, the incidence and mortality of osteoporotic hip fracture wil rise. It is of great significance to study the pathogenesis and preventing method. At present, finite element analysis can be used to judge fracture, only for the distribution trend of fracture failure in the starting point or section view, but it cannot completely reflect actual situation of fracture. OBJECTIVE:To build the fracture model of the femoral neck fracture caused by fal ing-induced external force based on the finite element analysis LS-DYNA software, and to evaluate the effect of rupture. METHODS:CT image data of one case of elderly femoral neck fracture were col ected. Using Mimics software, region growth of the contralateral area, cavity fil ing, editing, rebuilding the contralateral proximal femur model were conducted. Data were imported in Hypermesh and LS-DYNA software for meshing, and defining material properties. The failure parameters and interfacial properties were set. The load and force boundary constraints simulating the fal ing were simulated. The model of femoral neck fracture was calculated. Rupture effect was evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The validity of contralateral proximal femur three-dimensional model was verified. Based on the finite element analysis software LS-DYNA, the femoral neck fracture model matched the actual fracture line to a degree of close to 83%. (2) Above results confirmed that based on the finite element analysis, LS-DYNA software can wel simulate the femoral neck fracture, which provides experimental basis to the exploration of femoral neck fracture classification mechanism caused by different fal ing-induced external forces.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) in the treatment of postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) in functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods:A double-blinded, randomized, controlled study was conducted. At Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Medical School Zhejiang University 40 patients aged 18-70 years old who met the Rome Ⅳ diagnostic criteria of PDS were prospectively enrolled. After informed consent, the patients were randomly assigned to TEAS group or sham-TEAS group. The patients in the TEAS group received transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation at acupoints Zusanli and Neiguan, and those in the sham-TEAS group underwent stimulation at other mimic acupoints for four weeks. The symptoms, gastric accommodation (initial satiety volume (ISV) and maximum tolerable volume (MTV), time of half gastric emptying of solid food ( T1/2) and heart rate variability (high frequency, low frequency and ratio of low frequency to high frequency) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines in duodenal mucosa were also evaluated by polymerase chain reaction in PDS patients and 24 healthy volunteers. Independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and chi square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 26 PDS patients were enrolled in the study, 13 cases each in the TEAS group and sham-TEAS group. Between the patients of the two groups, there were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, or score of 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), score of self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), score of self-rating depression scale (SDS), score of dyspeptic symptom severity index (DSSI), ISV, MTV, T1/2 or heart rate variability indexes (high frequency, low frequency and ratio of low frequency to high frequency) before treatment (all P>0.05). After treatment, the DSSI score of TEAS group was lower than that of sham-TEAS group (13.5±5.3 vs. 19.9±9.3), the values of ISV and MTV were both higher than those of sham-TEAS group ((180.0±44.6) mL vs. (121.9±61.0) mL, (480.4±200.7) mL vs. (338.5±108.8) mL), and the differences were all statistically significant ( t=2.18, 2.77 and 2.24, all P<0.05). After treatment there was no statistically significant difference in T1/2 between TEAS group and sham-TEAS group ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in T1/2 between before and after treatment in patients of TEAS group ( P>0.05). After treatment, the high frequency increased (5.3±1.2 vs. 4.0±0.9) and the ratio of low frequency to high frequency decreased (1.0±0.2 vs. 1.3±0.2), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-3.31 and 3.73, both P<0.01). The expression levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) mRNA in mucosa of duodenal bulb and descending duodenum of PDS patients were both higher than that of healthy control group (0.68, 0.11 to 6.74 vs. 0.03, 0.02 to 0.25; 6.46, 1.35 to 12.62 vs. 0.86, 0.32 to 2.90), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-2.24 and -2.03, P=0.02 and 0.04). After TEAS treatment for four weeks, the expression of IL-6 mRNA in duodenal bulb mucosa decreased compared with that before treatment in TEAS group (0.04, 0.01 to 0.06 vs. 0.23, 0.09 to 3.66) and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.07, P=0.04). Conclusions:TEAS can improve the gastric accommodation and dyspeptic symptoms in PDS patients. The mechanism may be related with the vagal pathway mediating and regnlating the expression of inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in duodenal bulb mucosa.
