Objective To explore the value of different surgical methods in the treatment of the displaced femoral neck fracture of the elderly. Methods An follow up study was done on 89 cases older than 65 years who were treated with internal fixation, femoral head arthroplasty and total hip joint replacement between 1998 and 2003 to compare the difference upon operation time, blood loss, duration of hospitalization, joint function evaluation one and two years after operation, complications and reversion rate. Results The internal fixation group had the shortest operation time and hospitalization and the least blood loss but the longest immobilization time, highest complication rate and reversion rate as well as the worst joint function. While the total hip joint replacement group had the least immobilization time, the lowest complication rate and reversion rate, best joint function but required better health condition. The femoral head arthroplasty group had the least operation injury but had relative higher reversion rate and worse joint function compared to the total hip joint replacement group. Conclusion Total hip joint replacement is suitable for the displaced femoral neck fractures of the elderly, especially those who are active have relative longer life expectancy and good general condition.

This study was aimed to assess the proportion and causes of misdiagnosis of pancreatic cancer (PC), and the effects of misdiagnosis on and treatment of PC, so as to sum up experiences and improve the diagnosis and treatment. 1027 cases with confirmed diagnosis of PC were retrospectively analyzed in detail. The patients were divided into misdiagnosed group and a group with correct diagnosis. The relevant data of the two groups were analyzed by stastical methods, and the differences between them were assessed. It was found that 586 cases (57 1%) were misdiagnosed.Fifty five diseases were involved in misdiagnosis, among them gastritis and duodenitis, peptic ulcer, virus hepatitis, cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, chronic pancreatitis wese the commonest. The differences of duration of diagnosis, main symptoms, resection rate, and half year survival rate between misdiagnosed group and correct diagnosis group were significant. It is concluded that PC is often misdiagnosed as other diseases. Early diagnosis and treatment is critical to the prognosis. The physician should be aware that PC may present a veriety of clinical manifestations, and therefore he or she should analyze comprehensively the symptoms and signs in order to improve diagnosis and treatment.

To study the clinical features of the pancreatic cancer (PC), clinical symptoms of 1027 diagnosed cases of PC were retrospectively analyzed in detail, including their dynamic changes with regards to the patients'sexes, ages, blood types, and tumor locations in the pancreas. The results showed that abdominal pain, jaundice and epigastric discomfort were the prevailing initial symptoms in these 1027 cases. Abdominal pain, jaundice, weight loss, and anorexia were the main symptoms. Unusual symptoms were seemed to be different in different patients. The clinical symptoms could be dramatically different with difference in patients′ age and tumor location. The blood type might also infhluence the clinical symptoms in certain degree. It is concluded that the clinical symptoms of the PC were atypical in general, but still there were some characteristics.The physician should grasp these characteristic symptoms in order to make an early diagnosis.

Objective To determine the effects of polymorphism of A9570G in angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 gene ( ACE2) gene on cardiac dysfunction and ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. Methods 252 patients with old myccardial infarction were included in this study. They were classified according to their polymorphisms of ACE 2 gene analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Echocardiograms were used to determine left ventricular end diastolic diameters (LVEDd) , Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) , mitral flow pattern early diastolic and late diastolic peak flow ratio (E/A) and left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF). Results In male, LVEDd, LVMI, and LVEF had significant difference among ACE2 genotypes ( t = 2. 609,3.527and 2.063, P =0.010,0.001 and 0.041), and no significant differences in E/A( t =0.689,P =0.492). In female,LVEDd, LVMI, E/A and LVEF had no significant difference among ACE2 genotypes( F =0. 848, 0.077,0. 985 and 1.611, P = 0. 432,0. 926,0. 377 and 0. 205 ). Conclusion The polymorphism of A9570G in ACE2 gene may be associated with cardiac dysfunction and ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction in male. ACE 2 gene polymorphism may be a genetic factor on cardiac dysfunction and ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction.

AIM To investigate the action of rosiglitazone on blood glucose,blood lipid,and the vascular remodeling in rats fed with high-fructose diet. METHODS After fed with high-fructose diet for one month,rats were randomly divided into two groups:High-fructose diet group that continued feeding with high-fructose diet for another month; High-fructose diet+rosiglitazone group fed with high-fructose diet and rosiglitazone (5 mg?kg -1?d -1, dissolved in water) for one month. At last,one half of each group were anesthetized,and the fasting blood, obtained from heart,was used to detect blood glucose,blood lipid,blood insulin. The aorta and mesenteric artery were gotten from the other half of each group, fixed in formalin,sliced and HE dyed. Pathology analysis system was used to measure the remodeling indexes of aorta and mesenteric artery:Lumen ,media,media/lumen,media cross-section area. RESULTS Comparing high-fructose diet+rosiglitazone group with high-fructose diet group, rosiglitazone decreased blood pressure(16.0 kPa vs 18.0 kPa, P

Aim To investigate the protective effects of YXETNZ injection on SH-SY5 Y cells damaged by oxygen-glucose deprivation ( OGD ) , and explore its functional mechanisms. Methods After 4 h of OGD, the cells were treated with 25 mg·L-1 drugs for 1 h. Subsequently, cell viabilities were measured by cell counting kit-8 ( CCK-8 kit ) and cell apoptosis was measured by caspase-3/7 assay kit according to manu-facturer’ s instructions. Furthermore, cell death was also detected by ELISA. The levels of phospho-Akt, phospho-PKA,phospho-Bad were evaluated by western blot. Results Oxygen-glucose deprivation significant-ly decreased the cell viabilities of SH-SY5Y cells, while YXETNZ injection significantly increased cell vi-abilities, phospho-Akt, phospho-PKA and phospho-Bad. Furthermore, YXETNZ injection also reduced the activities of caspase-3/7 and cytoplasmic histone-asso-ciated-DNA-fragments contents. Conclusion Our re-searches demonstrat that YXETNZ injection shows good neuroprotective effects on SH-SY5 Y cells after oxygen-glucose deprivation. The underlying mechanisms may be associated with activation of PI3 K/Akt/Bad/caspase-3/7 , cAMP/PKA/Bad/caspase-3/7 signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the feasibility of using irreversible electroporation (IRE)mediating HPV16 E6 shRNA into cervical cancer cell line SiHa,and to clarify the influence of their co-effect on the proliferation of SiHa cells and its mechanism.Methods A HPV16 E6 gene specific interference sequence was inserted in pGenesil-1 to build a interference vector.10 pulses of IRE with 800 V,100 μs,and 1 Hz were applied to the suspension of SiHa cells and vectors.According to the treatment factors,control group,IRE group,pGenesil-N group,pGenesil-N+IRE group,pGenesil-E6 group and pGenesil-E6 + IRE group were set up.The expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP)and transfection efficiency were confirmed by inverted fluorescence microscope 24 h after the vector was transfected by IRE,and the expression efficancy of GFP was calculated.The expression levels of E6 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting method which was also applied to detect the expressions of P53 and PCNA.The proliferative activity of SiHa cells was determined by CCK-8 assay.Results Enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing verified that the vectors were correctly constructed.GFP was seen under inverted fluorescence microscope 24 h after IRE transfection.Compared with IRE group,the expression levels of E6 mRNA and protein were decreased detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting method after the vectors were treated with IRE,the P53 protein expression level was increased (P < 0.05),and the PCNA expression level was decreased (P <0.05).The CCK-8 assay results showed the proliferative activity of SiHa cells in pGenesil-E6+IRE group was decreased more obviously than that in pGenesil E6 group (P <0.05).Conclusion IRE can play the role of gene transfection of mediating HPV16 E6 shRNA into SiHa cells, and their co-effect can significantly inhibit the proliferation of SiHa cells.
