PURPOSETo investigate the potential correlation between two different types of hip fractures and serum calcium levels.
METHODSWe consecutively studied 101 cases of femoral neck fracture and 95 cases of femoral inter- trochanteric fracture between January 2011 and December 2013. Fasting blood samples were taken and serum calcium measurements were performed respectively in three periods: the time of admission, postoperation, and discharge. Creatinine, alkaline phosphatase and albumin were also analyzed.
RESULTSConsidering the levels of serum calcium between two groups at the time of admission, post- operation and discharge, there was significant difference at admission and discharge (p <0.05), while there was no significant difference at the time of postoperation (p > 0.05). The magnitude of serum calcium fluctuation was larger in femoral neck group than femoral intertrochanteric group. Concerning alkaline phosphatase and albumin levels at admission, there was no significant difference between two groups (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe capability of reservation and restoration of serum calcium in patients with femoral neck fracture is better than that in patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture. A low serum calcium level may be susceptible to femoral intertrochanteric fracture.

Objective To study the antiviral effect of Jin Qiao Tablets on influenza A H1N1 virus in vivo. Methods The mouse pneumonia model was established by nasal inhalation of 15 LD50 of influenza virus. After prophylactic or therapeutic medication for 5 d,mouse lung tissue was taken out and weighed. Viral load in lung tissue was measured by polymerse chain reaction(PCR),and the level of γ-interferon(γ-IFN)in rat serum and lung was detected by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)for evaluating the effect of Jin Qiao Tablets on lung index, viral load and γ-IFN in rats. After prophylactic or therapeutic medication for 7 d,morbidity and mortality within 14 d of mice with pneumonia induced by nasal inhalation of 3 LD50 were observed to evaluate the action of Jin Qiao Tablets for protecting against death and prolonging life span. Results Jin Qiao Tablets markedly decreased the increased lung index,promoted the death-protection rate and life-prolongation rate, decreased viral load, raised the level of γ-IFN in mice (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Experimental results in vivo showed that Jin Qiao Tablets had better anti-influenza virus activity than Yinqiao Jiedu Tablets and Lianhua Qingwen Capsules, and the effect of Jin Qiao Tablets was equivalent to that of Tamiflu. The prophylactic effect of Jin Qiao Tablets was stronger than the therapeutic effect, but there was no significant difference between them. Conclusion Jin Qiao Tablets have obvious effect against influenza A H1N1 virus in vivo.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the eradication rate, adverse reactions and compliance of the two 14-day bismuth-containing quadruple therapies in Liaoning Province as the first-line Helicobacter pylori(HP) eradication programs. METHODS: We collected222 eligible HP-infected patients who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from March 2017 to October 2018 and treated with either of the following two programs:(1) EBLA group: esomeprazole(20 mg, twice a day), bismuth(200 mg, twice a day), levofloxacin(200 mg, twice a day) and amoxicillin(1 g, twice a day), 111 cases in total;(2) EBCA group:esomeprazole(20 mg, twice a day), bismuth(200 mg, twice a day), clarithromycin(500 mg, twice a day) and amoxicillin(1 g, twice a day), 111 cases in total. The patients in both groups were given medicines for 14 days, and the 13 C breath test was performed after4 weeks of withdrawal. RESULTS: The eradication rate of EBLA group was 87.34%(95%CI 80.9%-93.9%), and that of EBCA group was 83.33%(95%CI 76%-90.7%).There was no significant difference between the two groups(P=0.413). The incidence of adverse reactions was 10.8% in EBLA group and 26.13% in EBCA group. The difference was statistically significant(P=0.003). The compliance of patients in EBLA group was 99.10%, and that of EBCA group was 98.20%. The difference was not statistically significant(P=0.561).CONCLUSION: Both EBLA program and EBCA program can achieve good eradication rate and compliance in Liaoning province. The incidence of adverse reactions in EBLA group is lower than that in EBCA group, which is the preferred first-line HP eradication program.
