2.New-style bone holder versus reduction forceps in treatment of clavicular fracture
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(40):6495-6500
BACKGROUND:The current fixation methods for clavicle fracture are mainly anatomy plate or reconstruction plate. The specific devices for maintaining fracture alignment and fixation are rarely reported. The majority of physicians prefer reduction forceps to maintain fracture alignment and retain plate for internal fixation. However, reduction forceps have many disadvantages, such as large damage, instable fixation and difficult to bend or mould plates.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical effect of new-style bone holder and reduction forceps in treatment of clavicular fractures.
METHODA total of 75 patients with clavicular fractures were recruited from Department of Orthopedics, Huai’an First Hospital, Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, between December 2011 and December 2013. The involved patients were randomly divided into two groups, new-style bone holder (39 cases) and reduction forceps (36 cases). In new-style bone holder group, the wounds were opened and reduced using reduction forceps, then new-style bone holder was applied to maintain fracture alignment and internal fixation;in reduction forceps group, the wounds were opened and reduced using reduction forceps, then reduction forceps was applied to maintain fracture alignment and internal fixation. The length of incision, the time of operation, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time and clinical efficacy in two groups were compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al cases were fol owed up for over half a year. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the length of incision (P>0.05). The new-style bone holder group was obviously better than reduction forceps group in the time of operation, intraoperative blood loss and fracture healing time, with significant difference (P<0.01). The clinical efficacy was significantly higher than reduction forceps group. Experimental findings indicate that, new-style bone holder is characterized by simple operation, few trauma, stable fixation, short operation time, and rapid fracture healing.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mediating role of psychological capital in the sense of occupational mission and work engagement in preschool teachers.METHODS: A method of stratified cluster sampling was used to select 464 preschool teachers from 16 kindergartens in a city of Hubei Province. Occupational Mission Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire and Job Involvement Questionnaire were used to investigate their sense of occupational mission, psychological capital and job engagement. RESULTS: The total score of occupational mission was(48.6±6.9); the total score of psychological capital was(87.1±11.8); and the total score of work engagement was(79.8±11.4). Occupational mission was positively correlated with job engagement [correlation coefficient(r) was 0.607, P<0.01].The self-efficacy, hope, tenacity and optimism were positively correlated with job engagement(r were 0.526, 0.544, 0.573, 0.415, respectively, P<0.01). The mediating effect of psychological capital on occupational mission and work engagement was 0.15, accounting for 26.8% of the total effect. CONCLUSION: The sense of occupational mission can directly or indirectly promote job engagement. The psychological capital plays a mediating role between occupational mission and job engagement.

BACKGROUND:Due to the sudden release and the rapid removal by proteases,platelet-rich plasma hydrogel leads to shorter residence times of growth factors at the wound site.In recent years,researchers have focused on the use of hydrogels to encapsulate platelet-rich plasma in order to improve the deficiency of platelet-rich plasma hydrogels. OBJECTIVE:To prepare self-assembled polypeptide-platelet-rich plasma hydrogel and to explore its effects on the release of bioactive factors of platelet-rich plasma. METHODS:The self-assembled polypeptide was synthesized by the solid-phase synthesis method,and the solution was prepared by D-PBS.Hydrogels were prepared by mixing different volumes of polypeptide solutions with platelet-rich plasma and calcium chloride/thrombin solutions,so that the final mass fraction of polypeptides in the system was 0.1%,0.3%,and 0.5%,respectively.The hydrogel state was observed,and the release of growth factors in platelet-rich plasma was detected in vitro.The polypeptide self-assembly was stimulated by mixing 1%polypeptide solution with 1%human serum albumin solution,so that the final mass fraction of the polypeptide was 0.1%,0.3%,and 0.5%,respectively.The flow state of the liquid was observed,and the rheological mechanical properties of the self-assembled polypeptide were tested.The microstructure of polypeptide(mass fraction of 0.1%and 0.001%)-human serum albumin solution was observed by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Hydrogels could be formed between different volumes of polypeptide solution and platelet-rich plasma.Compared with platelet-rich plasma hydrogels,0.1%and 0.3%polypeptide-platelet-rich plasma hydrogels could alleviate the sudden release of epidermal growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor,and extend the release time to 48 hours.(2)After the addition of human serum albumin,the 0.1%polypeptide group still exhibited a flowing liquid,the 0.3%polypeptide group was semi-liquid,and the 0.5%polypeptide group stimulated self-assembly to form hydrogel.It was determined that human serum albumin in platelet-rich plasma could stimulate the self-assembly of polypeptides.With the increase of the mass fraction of the polypeptide,the higher the storage modulus of the self-assembled polypeptide,the easier it was to form glue.(3)Transmission electron microscopy exhibited that the polypeptide nanofibers were short and disordered before the addition of human serum albumin.After the addition of human serum albumin,the polypeptide nanofibers became significantly longer and cross-linked into bundles,forming a dense fiber network structure.Under a scanning electron microscope,the polypeptides displayed a disordered lamellar structure before adding human serum albumin.After the addition of human serum albumin,the polypeptides self-assembled into cross-linked and densely arranged porous structures.(4)In conclusion,the novel polypeptide can self-assemble triggered by platelet-rich plasma and the self-assembly effect can be accurately adjusted according to the ratio of human serum albumin to polypeptide.This polypeptide has a sustained release effect on the growth factors of platelet-rich plasma,which can be used as a new biomaterial for tissue repair.

ObjectiveTo explore the influence of the core symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) on behavioral problems of children with ADHD propensity, so as to provide references for early identification and targeted intervention for children with ADHD propensity. MethodsFrom July to August 2021, 25 children with ADHD propensity were screened as the ADHD propensity group, and 25 children matched for age, gender and grade were included as the normal group in an elementary school in Guangzhou. ADHD core symptoms were assessed by the Chinese version of the Swanson Nolan and Pelham, version IV-parent form for ADHD (SNAP-IV), and behavioral problems were assessed by Questionnaire-Children with Difficulties (QCD) and Conners Parental Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ). Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between ADHD core symptoms and QCD and PSQ scores, and hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to explore the effect of ADHD core symptoms on behavioral problems. Results① The differences between the groups showed that both attention deficit and hyperactivity-impulsivity factor scores were higher in the ADHD propensity group than those in the normal group (t=7.771, 6.726, P<0.01). ② Correlation analysis showed that the attention deficit factor score was negatively correlated with QCD total score (r=-0.440, P<0.05), and positively correlated with the learning problem factor score of PSQ (r=0.457, P<0.05). The score of hyperactivity-impulsivity was negatively correlated with score of anxiety factor in PSQ (r=-0.457, P<0.05), and positively correlated with impulse-hyperactivity factor score (r=0.552, P<0.01). ③ Hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that the attention deficit factor score negatively predicted the total score of QCD (B=-0.682, P<0.05, R2=0.468). The hyperactivity-impulsivity factor score had a negative predictive effect on the anxiety factor score of PSQ (B=-0.048, P<0.05, R2=0.367), and had a positive predictive effect on the impulsivity-hyperactivity factor score (B=0.077, P<0.01, R2=0.424). ConclusionChildren with ADHD propensity have significant attention deficit symptoms, hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms and behavioral problems, and the attention deficit may be the main cause of their daily behavioral problems, while hyperactivity-impulsivity may be the main cause of their impulsive-hyperactivity problems.

ObjectiveTo compare the feasibility of establishing the rat model of acute coronary syndrome with combined blood stasis and poison by lipopolysacharide (LPS) injection, ligation of coronary artery and different combinations of the two methods. MethodA total of 225 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, simple coronary artery ligation group, first injected LPS group [LPS(5 mg·kg)injection 24 h before coronary artery ligation] and follow injected LPS group [LPS(5 mg·kg)injection 10 min after coronary artery ligation]. The indexes of each group were detected at 3, 24, 72 h after modeling, and the model was comprehensively evaluated. The general state and macroscopic evaluation indexes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome (tongue and pulse) of rats in each group were observed. ECG and echocardiography were used to evaluate cardiac function, and the myocardial ischemia and infarction areas were measured by Evans blue/2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. The content of creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), and troponin T (cTnT) in serum as well as interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) and IL-6 changes were determined by biochemical method or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematology analyzer was adopted to determine the white blood cell (WBC) count, and the four coagulation indexes, platelet aggregation rate, hemorheology and other coagulation evaluation indexes were also detected. The myocardial tissue was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining. ResultAfter 3 h of modeling, compared with the conditions in sham operation group, the R, G and B values of tongue of rats (P<0.01), pulse amplitude (P<0.01), and cardiac function in simple coronary artery ligation group were decreased, and the color of hypoglossal veins became purple(P<0.01). The content of CK, LDH, cTnT, IL-1β and IL-6 in serum(P<0.05), myocardial infarction area(P<0.01), and total number of WBCs (P<0.05)were increased. Compared with simple coronary artery ligation group, first injected LPS group and follow injected LPS group had increased hypoglossal veins, decreased R value of tongue and elevated cTnT content (P<0.01), while follow injected LPS group had reduced B value of tongue, decreased cardiac output (CO)(P<0.05), increased IL-1β content, and thinned left ventricular anterior walls at end-systole (LVAWs)(P<0.01). After 24 h of modeling, compared with sham operation group, simple coronary artery ligation group presented significantly decreased R, G and B values of tongue, lengthened purplish dark hypoglossal veins (P<0.01), reduced pulse amplitude(P<0.01) and cardiac function, enlarged myocardial infarction area(P<0.01), increased whole blood viscosity, platelet aggregation rate, fibrinogen (FIB), shortened prothrombin time (PT) and thrombin time (TT)(P<0.01), and elevated total number of WBCs (P<0.01)and content of CK, LDH, cTnT and IL-6 in serum(P<0.05). Compared with the conditions in simple coronary artery ligation group, the pulse amplitude, R, G and B values of tongue (P<0.01), and ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) scores (P<0.05)dropped, and hypoglossal veins were deepened and lengthened(P<0.05), and cTnT content was increased(P<0.01)in first injected LPS group and follow injected LPS group. However, follow injected LPS group had thinned LVPWs, increased LDH content, platelet aggregation rate(P<0.05), myocardial infarction area, and total number of WBC, level of IL-1β(P<0.05), and shortened TT(P<0.01). Additionally, 72 h after modeling, compared with sham operation group, simple coronary artery ligation group showed significantly reduced pulse amplitude, lowered R, G and B values of tongue, thickened and lengthened hypoglossal veins(P<0.01), decreased cardiac function, and increased content of cTnT, FIB, whole blood viscosity(P<0.01),platelet aggregation rate, level of IL-6 and IL-1β(P<0.05). Compared with the conditions in simple coronary artery ligation group, the hypoglossal veins of the first injected LPS group and the follow injected LPS group were more purple, and the content of cTnT was boosted(P<0.01), whereas follow injected LPS group had decreased pulse amplitude, R, G and B values of tongue, EF and FS scores (P<0.05), and enlarged myocardial infarction area(P<0.01). ConclusionCompared with the other modeling methods and models at different modeling time, the established model by LPS injection 10 min after coronary artery ligation for 24 h was more consistent with the clinical characteristics of acute coronary syndrome with combined blood stasis and poison.

ObjectiveTo collect common prescriptions from multiple channels based on the mainstream guidance materials combined with ancient books to provide references for the selection principles of common prescriptions in clinical practice guidelines of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine. MethodWith the research on the selection of commonly used prescriptions in Clinical Practice Guidelines of Chinese and Western Medicine for Cough in Children as an example,the nation-recommended Schedule Ⅲ drugs and prescriptions for cough in children in the clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines of TCM (TCM and western medicine)/expert consensus/clinical pathway/diagnosis and treatment protocols,three TCM pediatric textbooks, the experience of famous experts, and ancient books were searched for the establishment of a prescription database and analysis of medication regularity. ResultThe results showed that there were 71 commonly used prescriptions for the treatment of cough in children. The top 3 clinically indicated syndromes were the syndrome of phlegm-heat blocking the lung,the syndrome of wind-heat invading the lung,and the syndrome of wind-cold attacking the lung,and the top 5 efficacies corresponding to high-frequency drugs were reliving cough and dyspnea, clearing heat/resolving phlegm, dispersing wind/dissipating cold, clearing heat/purging fire, and dispersing wind/dissipating heat. The most commonly used Chinese medicines included Armeniacae Semen Amarum, Platycodonis Radix, Bolbostemmatis Rhizoma, Ephedrae Herba, Scutellariae Radix, Pinelliae Rhizoma, and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium. Some drugs showed high internal correlations with Armeniacae Semen Amarum and Platycodonis Radix. There were 228 prescriptions for the treatment of cough in children based on the ancient books in the Chinese Medical Code. The most commonly used Chinese medicines were Pinelliae Rhizoma, Armeniacae Semen Amarum, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Poria, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Platycodonis Radix, Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, and Bolbostemmatis Rhizoma. The top 5 efficacies corresponding to high-frequency drugs were dispersing wind/dissipating cold, relieving cough and dyspnea, clearing heat/resolving phlegm, warming cold/resolving phlegm, and tonifying Qi. Some drugs showed high internal correlations with Pinelliae Rhizoma and Platycodonis Radix. As revealed by the comparison of ancient and modern medication, the medication principles could be roughly classified into two categories: ventilating the lung/descending Qi and resolving phlegm. In ancient medication, the drugs for cough in children were mainly used for warming, tonifying, dissipating cold, excreting water, alleviating edema, and astringing lung and intestines, while in modern medication, the prescriptions were mainly for dispersing wind, clearing heat, tonifying yin, and moistening dampness. ConclusionThis study systematically analyzed the commonly used prescriptions for the treatment of cough in children and provided references for the selection of TCM in clinical practice guidelines.

ObjectiveTo explore whether the mechanism of Shuangshen Ningxin capsules (SSNX) in alleviating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in rats is related to the regulation of mitochondrial fission and fusion. MethodThis study focused on Sprague Dawley (SD) rats and ligated the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery to construct a rat model of MIRI. The rats were divided into the sham operation group, model group, SSNX group (90 mg·kg-1) and trimetazidine group (5.4 mg·kg-1). The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected by micro method. Changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (△Ψm) and the degree of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening were detected by the chemical fluorescence method. The intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level was detected by the luciferase assay. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein expression levels of mitochondrial fission and fusion related factors dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), mitochondrial fission 1 protein (FIS1), optic atrophy protein 1 (OPA1), mitochondrial outer membrane fusion protein 1 (MFN1), and MFN2 were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) and Western blot. ResultCompared with the sham operation group, the model group showed a decrease in serum SOD activity and an increase in MDA content. The opening level of mPTP, the level of △Ψm and ATP content decreased, the protein expressions of mitochondrial fission factors DRP1 and FIS1 increased, and the protein expressions and mRNA transcription levels of fusion related factors OPA1 and MFN1 decreased. Compared with the model group,SSNX significantly increased serum SOD activity, reduced MDA content, increased intracellular ATP level and △Ψm, reduced the opening level of mPTP, downregulated the protein expressions of mitochondrial fission factors DRP1 and FIS1, and increased the mRNA transcription levels and protein expressions of fusion related factors OPA1 and MFN1. ConclusionSSNX inhibits the expressions of mitochondrial fission factors DRP1 and FIS1, and increases the expressions of fusion related factors OPA1 and MFN1, inhibiting mitochondrial fission and increasing mitochondrial fusion, thereby alleviating MIRI.
