Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality in cancer patients, which is usually related to the syndromes of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). Despite not frequent life-threatening, it mostly causes prolonged hospitalization, delaying in scheduled chemotherapy, reducing of the efficacy, worsening of patients' prognosis and quality of life. The optimal treatment strategy should be chosen based on the severity and the onset time of the symptoms in clinic. Hypertonic saline solution is appropriate for acute, symptomatic patients with hyponatremia caused by SIADH, nevertheless fluid restriction is advised to chronic symptomless hyponatremia which recommends correcting at a slower rate. When fluid restriction is limited, pharmacological therapy should be a necessary choice. This review summarizes the recent progress of hyponatremia in international guidelines and discusses the defect of hyponatremia managements and the research prospect in the future.

Objective To explore the effects of morroniside on the expression of CD34 in ipsilateral cortex of rats after focal cerebral isch-emia-reperfusion. Methods 45 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham group (n=9), ischemia group (n=9), and morroniside groups (low, medium and high dosage groups, n=9). The middle cerebral artery were occluded for 30 minutes, and reperfused. Morroniside was administered intragastrically once a day at dose of 30 mg/kg, 90 mg/kg, 270 mg/kg after operation. The expression of CD34 in the isch-emic ipsilateral cortex were detected with immunohistochemistry (n=6) and Western blotting (n=3) 7 days after operation. Results The ex-pression of CD34 increased in the ischemia group compared with the sham group, and further increased in the morroniside groups of high dos-age compared with the ischemia group (F>14.865, P<0.001). Conclusion Morroniside could increase the expression of CD34 in the ischemic ipsilateral cortex after ischemia-reperfusion in rats, which may promote the angiogenesis and neurogenesis after ischemia.

Objective To investigate the effects of morroniside on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fi-broblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) in rat cortex after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Methods 30 male Sprague-Dawley rats were ran-domly divided into sham group, model group, morroniside-low group (30 mg/kg), morroniside-middle group (90 mg/kg) and morroni-side-high group (270 mg/kg). Middle cerebral arteries of rats were occluded for 30 minutes with Longa's method and re-perfused. The ex-pression of VEGF and FGF-2 in the ischemic ipsilateral cortex was detected with Western blotting 7 days after reperfusion. Results The ex-pression of both VEGF and FGF-2 increased in the ischemic ipsilateral cortexin in all the ischemic groups compared with the sham group (P<0.05). The expression of VEGF further increased in a dose-dependent manner in all the morroniside groups compared with that of model group (P<0.05), and the expression of FGF-2 increased in the morroniside-high group (P<0.001). Conclusion Morroniside could increase the expression of VEGF and FGF-2 after ischemia-reperfusion, which might promote angiogenesis.

Objective:To compare the post-operative outcomes between extended lateral approach and L-shaped lateral approach in surgical treatment of Sanders type III intra-articular calcaneal fractures.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was made on clinical data of 34 patients with fresh Sanders type III intra-articular calcaneal fractures hospitalized in Langfang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2014 to October 2017. There were 33 males and 1 female, with the age of 18-56 years [(42.5±9.4)years]. All fractures were fresh. Seventeen patients were fixed by the extended lateral approach (extended approach group) and seventeen patients by L-shaped lateral approach (L-shaped approach group). Operation duration, intraoperative bleeding volume, length of hospital stay, one-stage wound healing rate and complication rate were observed. B?hler and Gissane angle were measured before operation, one week after operation and 12 months after operation. American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale was applied to evaluate function recovery.Results:There were no significant differences between groups in operative time and intraoperative bleeding volume ( P>0.05). There were significant differences between extended approach group and L-shaped approach group in length of hospital stay [(15.7±4.0)days vs.(22.4±9.6)days], one-stage wound healing rate [88%(15/17) vs. 47%(8/12)] and postoperative complication rate [12%(2/17) vs. 47%(8/17)] ( P<0.05). The B?hler and Gissane angles did not differ significantly between groups before operation and one week and 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). At postoperative 12 months, the B?hler and Gissane angles were improved from preoperative (8.2±6.0)°, (85.3±10.5)° to (23.9±6.1)° and (119.3±6.2)° respectively in extended approach group, and those from preoperative (9.4±3.9)°, (85.5±7.1)° to (25.8±3.7)° and (122.2±5.6)° respectively in L-shaped approach group (all P>0.05). At 12 months after operation, the AOFAS score was (86.9±7.5)points in extended approach group, with the excellent and good rate of 88%; and was (83.3±12.5)points in L-shaped approach group, with the excellent and good rate of 76% ( P>0.05). While the score of hindfoot joint activity in extended approach group was (5.8±0.7)points, significantly higher than (3.4±1.0)points in L-shaped approach group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For Sanders III intraarticular calcaneal fractures, compared with L-shaped approach group, plate fixation via extended approach can promote fracture healing, shorten hospital stay, reduce incidence of complications and facilitate function recovery of subtalar joint.

ObjectiveTo investigate the resistance to pyrethroids, beta-cyhalothrin and fenitrothion as well as the frequencies of kdr andace⁃1 alleles in Anopheles sinensis from three geographical populations in Chongming District, Shanghai. MethodsThe contact tube method recommended by WHO was used to determine mosquito resistance. The frequencies of kdr and ace⁃1 alleles in adult mosquitoes were determined by PCR amplification. The correlation between the frequencies of kdr alleles and insecticide resistance was analyzed by linear regression method. ResultsThe mosquito population near natural reserve (NF) was sensitive to deltamethrin, and the mortality rate was 100.00% at 24 h. The mosquito population with intensive breeding farms (HX) showed resistance to deltamethrin and beta-cyhalothrin, and the 24 h mortality was 48.00 % and 57.50 %, respectively. The 24 h mortality rate of the mosquito population with urban-rural integration area (AS) with suspected resistance to deltamethrin and beta-cyhalothrin was 84.40% and 86.00%. The 24 h mortality rate to Fenitrothion was 55.67%. There were 3 mutations in kdr gene locus 1014, and 7 mutated genotypes were detected, mainly L1014/L1014F and L1014F/L1014F. The mutation frequency of kdr allele in HX population was the highest (52.68%). There was one mutation at site 119 of ace⁃1 gene, and three genotypes were detected, most of which were G119S mutation. There was a significant negative correlation between the frequency of kdr resistance allele and the mortality rate of beta-cypermethrin in An.sinensis populations (r2=0.930,P=0.036). There was a significant negative correlation between the frequency of ace⁃1 resistance allele and the mortality rate of fenitrothion in An. sinensis populations from four habitats(r2=0.996,P=0.038). ConclusionThe mutation frequency of insecticide resistance allele is associated with the development of mosquito resistance level. Therefore, comprehensive monitoring of resistance levels of An.sinensis in Chongming area should be continued to provide a basis for local mosquito resistance management.
