Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 1994;0(04):-
60mg /kg?d ip, of paeonol were given to rats for 15 days. The myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury model was produced by occluding the left coronary artery and releasing the occlusion in rats. This significantly decreased myocardial Ca++-ATPase activitics and CH/PL radical, FFA content, improved mitochondrial membrane fluidity and kept them away from oxygen free radical damage. These results indicated that paeonol has membrane protective effect on myocardial ischemia rcperfusion injury probably by inhibiting the oxygen free radicals and subsequent lipid peroxidation.

Objective To discuss the selection of short- or long-segment posterior fixation for treatment of unstable thoracolumbar fractures. Methods A total 134 patients with thoracolumbar fractures treated with pedicle instrument fixation from January 2005 to December 2008 were studied retrospectively. According to AO fracture classification, there were 70 patients with type A fractures, 37 with type B and 27 with type C. The patients were divided into two groups according to the number of instrumented levels; short-segment posterior fixation (SSPF) group (four screws; one vertebral body above or below the fractured vertebrae) and long-segment posterior fixation (LSPF) group (eight screws; two vertebral bodies above or below the fractured vertebrae). Clinical outcomes and radiological parameters (superior-inferior endplate angle, vertebral body angle, displacement of vertebral body) were compared according to AO fracture classification. Results All type A fractures were treated with SSPF, mean superior-inferior endplate angle changed from preoperative 21.3° to postoperative 8.5° and 11.1° at final follow up. There was no statistical difference in the correction of Cobb angle for type B fractures in SSPF group (26 patients) and LSPF group (11 patients), while the correction loss of vertebral body angle was 3. 64° in SSPF group and 1.09° in LSPF group, with statistical difference (P < 0. 05). There was no statistical difference in the correction of Cobb angle for type C fractures in SSPF group (7 patients) and in LSPF group (20 patients), but the correction loss of vertebral body angle was 3.6° in SSPF group and 0. 8° in LSPF group, with statistical difference (P < 0. 05). There was no statistical difference in vertebral displacement correction. Conclusions Most types A and Bl fractures should be treated with SSPF; most types B2, B3 and C fractures should be treated with LSPF.

Objective To discuss the indications, surgical techniques and outcome of less invasive stabilization system (LISS) in treatment of special proximal femoral fractures. Methods Twenty-eight patients with special proximal femoral fractures were treated with LISS from June 2005 to December 2007. All fractures could not be reduced by close reduction with traction table. There were eight patients with in-tertrochanterie fractures ( including type 31-A2.2 fractures in three, type 31-A2.3 in two, type 31-A3.1 in three and type 31-A3.3 in two according to AO classification), 19 with subtrochanteric fractures (including type ⅡA fractures in three, type ⅢB in one and type Ⅴ in 15 according to Seinsheimer classification) and one with peripheral fractures ( type Vancouver B1 fracture) of the femoral prosthesis. The data about opera-tion duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, fracture healing time and postoperative hip function score were recorded. Results The operation lasted for mean 88 minutes (45-120 minutes), with intra-operative blood loss of average 320 ml (50 -700 ml). There occurred deep vein thrombosis of lower limb in two patients, myocardial infarction in one and lower digestive tract bleeding in one after oper-ation, with no incision complications. One patient with breast cancer was died of brain metastasis after op-eration and three lost follow-up. Other 24 patients were followed up for mean 18 months (6-33 months), which showed that 23 patients got fracture healing 2-5 months ( average 3 months) postoperatively but that one patient with type Seinsheimer V fracture had breakage of proximal locking screws six months postopera-tively because of nonunion of subtrochanteric fracture. The Harris score of the hip was 70-99 points ( aver-age 84 points). Conclusions Reverse femoral LISS has advantages of minimal invasion, easy opera-tion, stable fixation, high degree of safety and minor complications for treatment of special proximal femoral fractures. Skillful reduction, correct positioning of guide wire into hole A and avoidance of immediate weight bearing are key to success of the operation.
