Objective To investigate the selection of operative method and peri operative managements for osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients aged over 75 years.Methods A total of 132 consecutive patients aged 75-91 years with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures from July 2009 to July 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.47 patients were treated with dynamic hip screw (DHS group),44 patients with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA group) and 41 patients with Gamma Ⅲ nail (Gamma Ⅲ group).The peri-operative managements,operation circumstance,the time for fracture union,postoperative complications and the degree of functional recovery were analyzed and compared between the 3 groups.Results The mean surgical time was shorter in Gamma Ⅲ nail and PFNA groups than in DHS group [(68.7±9.1) min,(80.5±11.3) min vs (112.2±18.4) min,both P＜0.01].The mean blood loss was less in the Gamma Ⅲ nail and PFNA groups than in DHS group[(156.9±18.5) ml,(183.4±21.3) ml vs (296.2±29.6) ml,both P＜0.01].The mean time for fracture healing was shorter in Gamma [Ⅲ nail and PFNA groups than inDHSgroup [(12.6±2.4) weeks,(13.1±2.4) weeks vs (15.3±3.2) weeks,both P＜ 0.05],and it has no obvious difference between Gamma Ⅲ nail and PFNA groups (P＞0.05).There were significant differences in postoperative complications between Gamma Ⅲ nail,PFNA groups and DHS group (2 cases,3 cases vv 11 cases,P＜0.05,respectively).The mean Harris hip score had no significantly difference among DHS,Gamma Ⅲ nail and PFNA groups (87.4±11.6,90.2±13.0 vs 88.9±12.3,both P＞0.05).Conclusions The 3 operative methods for stable intertrochanteric fracture are feasible and effective in elderly patients,but for unstable intertrochanteric fractures,the treatment with Gamma Ⅲ nail and PFNA has advantages.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of emergency bedside-echocardiography in neonatal intensive care unit.Methods Six hundred and sixty-eight infants with cardiac pathological murmurs,cyanosis and shortness of breath were detected by emergency bedside echocardiography (Sonosite Micromax 1 portable ultrasound or Philips iE33 ultrasonic systems) during January 2007 to July 2011.The accuracy of emergency bedside-echocardiography in the diagnosis of neonatal heart diseases was evaluated according to the results of surgical exploration.Results Among 668 enrolled neonates with the mean age of (7.2±1.3) d,there were 347 males and 321 females,and 309 term infants [mean gestational age (39.1±0.6) weeks (37.0～42.1 weeks)] and 359 premature infants [mean gestational age (33.7±0.91) weeks (28.9～36.9 weeks)].Totally,507 cases were found cardiac abnormality by emergency bedside-echocardiography,including 268 cases of patent ductus arteriosus (232 premature and 36 term infants),115 congenital heart disease,99 persistent fetal circulation and 25 arrythmia.Surgeries were performed on 54 infants and invasive therapy was performed on one infant,and none of them received CT,magnetic resonance imaging or invasive examinations before operation; among which,51 surgeries successed and 4 infants died.Other 452 infants were treated with medications,392 infants recovered and discharged,26 infants did not recover,14 cases died and 20 cases left the hospital before recovery.The accuracy rate of Micromax 1 portable ultrasound in diagnosing congenital heart diseases was 94.5％ (52/55),while 96.4 ％ (53/55) for philips iE33 ultrasonic systems.Conclusions Emergency bedside-echocardiography could provide instant and valuable information of cardiovascular system,which would be helpful in making quick clinical decisions.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of siwei tumuxiang powder(STP)on the model of H9c2 cardiomyocytes hypertrophy induced by mechanical stretching in rats.Methods The STP drug-containing serum and the hypertrophic cell model were prepared,and the optimal dose and time of action of STP drug-containing serum were determined.The expressions of at-rial natriuretic peptide(ANP),brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),miR-34a-5p,Notch1 and other factors in H9c2 cardiomyocytes were detected to verify whether STP exerted a protective effect on H9c2 cardiomyocytes by regulating the miR-34a-5p/Notch1 pathway.Results The optimal dose(0.972g/kg)of STP drug-containing serum was low-dose,and the action time was 24 hours.STP de-creased the expressions of ANP,BNP and miR-34a-5p in model cells(P＜0.05).Transfection of miR-34a-5p mimic reversed the effect of STP on ANP and BNP expressions(P＜0.05).Knocking down Notch1 by siRNA reversed the effect of STP on ANP and BNP ex-pressions(P＜0.05).Notch1 was the direct target gene of miR-34a-5p,and miR-34a-5p decreased the expression of Notch1(P＜0.05).After STP intervention,the expression of Notch1,NICD1 and Hes1 proteins were decreased.Transfection of miR-34a-5p mim-ic reversed the effect of STP on the expressions of Notch1,NICD1 and Hes1 proteins(P＜0.05).Conclusion STP exerts a protective effect on mechanical stretch-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by miR-34a-5p to negatively regulate the Notch1 signaling pathway.

Objective: To summarize the initial experience of flexible ureteroscopy combined with thulium laser for the treatment of high-risk upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in patients with solitary kidney or renal insufficiency. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in 5 cases of UTUC with solitary kidney or renal insufficiency treated via flexible ureteroscopy combined with thulium laser from May 2016 to November 2018. Patients consisted of 4 cases of left side tumor, 1 case of right side tumor, with median age of 73 years old(ranging 53-87 years old). Among the 5 cases, 3 were solitary kidney with renal pelvis tumors, 2 cases were renal insufficiency accompanied with proximal ureter or renal pelvis tumor. All the patients had tumors large than 2 cm in diameter. The creatine in 3 cases with solitary kidney was 102, 128, 143μmol/L, respectively. The creatine in 2 cases with renal insufficiency was 281, 179μmol/L, respectively. Variable hydronephrosis was noticed in all paients. The cytological examination could reveal tumor cells in all cases. During the operation, part of tumor tissues were resected for pathological examination and the remaining visible tumor tissue was all ablated and vaporized. As there was no obvious residual tumor tissue, double J stent was retained. Patients were regularly reexamined after surgery. Results: Of the 5 cases, 4 patients were successfully performed, while intraoperative bleeding occurred in 1 case. The operation was suspended after indwelling double J stent. Then, the renal artery interventional embolism was performed after ineffective conservative treatment, and the bleeding was well controlled. One month later, the patient was treated with thulium laser tumor ablation and vaporizaiton under flexible ureteroscopy again. The pathology of all cases was high-grade invasive urinary epithelial carcinoma. Patients were followed up with regular imaging and endoscopic examination. The median follow-up period was 19 (4-26) months, during which 4 cases had local recurrence, one patient died of non-tumor factors. No recurrence of urothelial carcinoma occurred in the bladder during follow-up, the overall recurrence rate was 80%, and the median recurrence time was 6 (1-24) months. Patients with recurrence was treated with thulium laser tumor ablation and vaporizaiton under flexible ureteroscopy again. Conclusions Flexible ureteroscopy combined with thulium laser is an alternative treatment for high-risk upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma in patients with solitary kidney or renal insufficiency, while with high tumor recurrence rate. Therefore, a stringent imaging and endoscopic follow-up should carry out postoperatively.

Objective To study the effect of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in the differential diagnosis of hydronephrosis and pyonephrosis.Methods From March 2015 to October 2017,50 patients with renal stone and highly suspected infectious hydronephrosis underwent renal DW-MRI,and clinical materials were collected and analyzed retrospectively.Seventeen male and 33 female patients were enrolled with a mean age of (49.40 ±-10.51) years.The median maximum diameter of renal stone was 30.30 (17.38,56.01) mm and hydronephrosis was 46.39 (34.33,56.55) mm.No pyonephrosis was diagnosed by preoperative ultrasound or CT,while 29 cases of hydronephrosis and 21 cases of pyonephrosis were reported by preoperative DW-MRI.Final diagnoses of hydronephrosis and pyonephrosis were made according to whether the pelvic urine drainage was purulent or not during the surgery.DW-MRI reports and characteristics of DW images were analyzed retrospectively.Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was calculated and ADC map constructed,which was compared between the two groups.Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn to analyze the area under curve (AUC) and the optimal cutoff of ADC value,with sensitivity and specificity.Results Thirty-three patients of hydronephrosis and 17 pyonephrosis were confirmed intraoperatively.The overall accuracy of diagnosis using DW-MRI was 84.00％ (42/50),with sensitivity of 88.24％ (15/17) and specificity of 81.82％ (27/33).Among 30 patients who underwent CT scan in our hospital,mean CT value of 18 hydronephrosis was (7.03 ± 3.26)HU and that of 12 pyonephrosis was (8.67 ± 3.52) HU,with no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).On DW image,when b ≥ 500 s/mm2,hydronephrosis signal intensity was lowered apparently,whereas pyonephrosis signal intensity was intensified.On ADC map,hydronephrosis appeared as hyperintensity,whereas pyonephrosis appeared as hypointensity.The mean ADC value of pyonephrosis group was lower than hydronephrosis group [(1.53 ±0.58) × 10-3 mm2/s vs.(2.86 ±0.56) × 10-3 mm2/s,p ＜0.01].ROC analysis revealed that AUC =0.92 (95％ CI 0.80-0.98),and the cut-off value of ADC for pyonephrosis diagnosis was 1.39 × 10-3 mm2/s,of which the sensitivity and specificity was 94.12％ and 84.85％ respectively.Conclusions Signal of pyonephrosis was enhanced on DW image,while decreased on ADC image.The ADC value of pyonephrosis was much lower than that of hydronephrosis,with which the differential diagnosis between pyonephrosis and hydronephrosis could be made efficiently.

Objective To evaluate individualized treatment of aseptic femoral nonunion after interlocking intramedullary nailing based on the morphology of each nonunion and nailing stability in each specific patient.Methods This study reviewed 108 patients who had been treated and followed up for more than one year for aseptic femoral nonunion following interlocking intramedullary nailing between February 2012 and February 2016.They were 89 men and 19 women,aged from 23 to 65 years (average,45.5 years).The classification and corresponding treatments were as follows:Type Ⅰ (15 cases),characterized by callus (+)/bone defect (-) and nailing stability (+),were treated by augmentation plating;Type Ⅱ (43 cases),characterized by callus (+)/bone defect (-) and nailing stability (-),were treated by exchange for larger nailing/larger nailing with poller screws;Type Ⅲ (23 cases),characterized by callus (-)/bone defect (+) and stability of nailing (+),were treated by augmentation plating with bone grafting;Type ⅣV (27 cases),characterized by callus (-)/bone defect (+) and stability of nailing(-),were treated by double plating and bone grafting.The healing of bone nonunion,complications and assessments for bone and function were followed up.Results All these patients received follow-up for 12 to 14 months (average,12.5 months).All the nonunions were healed with no postoperative complications.Bone healing was achieved after 4 to 8 months (average,5.5 months).The good to excellent rates for bone and function were 100％.Conclusion To achieve better surgical outcomes,the treatment of aseptic femoral nonunion after interlocking intramedullary nailing should be individualized according to the morphology of each nonunion and nailing stability in each specific patient.

Objective:Objectives The aim of the study is to evaluate the mechanical performance, safety and efficacy of the novel robotic-assistant flexible ureteroscopy system (Ra-fURS) under in vitro and in vivo environments.Methods:Combing with commercial flexible ureteroscopes, the novel Ra-fURS was used for the in vitro test and animal model operation in October 2020. The study included three sections. ①Basic mechanical performance assessment: including endoscope motion control (dual deflection, axial rotation and forward/backward distance), reaction time and fiber regulation. ②Simulated surgery in ex-vivo 3D-printing renal collecting system model: including completion rate and time of calyxes exploration, directional movement and laser fragmentation [gypsum models (0.5×0.5×0.5 cm) were used to stimulate kidney stones]. ③Intrarenal surgeries in animal models (two 5-month female Yorkshire white pigs). In total, 32 surgeries was performed (8 surgeons × 2 pigs × 2 kidneys/pig). In vivo assessments were carried out including: ①consuming time for Ra-fURS installation and offloading; ②completion rate and time of calyxes exploration; ③comfort score (ranging from 0-10) as compared to the manual f-URS, which was corresponding to each Ra-fURS surgery. In simulated surgery and animal surgery sections, 8 surgeons were enrolled in the study (group A 4 without flexible ureteroscopy experience; group B: 4 highly experienced), and results were compared between two groups.Results:Under the Ra-fURS control, the flexible ureteroscope movement in three degrees of freedom (forward / backward: + 11 to -11 cm, axial rotation + 225°to -225°; active duel-flection: + 270°to -270°, as well as the laser fiber regulation + 2.5 to -2.5 cm). In simulated surgery tests, both groups achieved 100% completion rate of calyxes exploration, and there were no statistical differences in the time of the calyxes exploration between group A and group B (116.0±8.0)s vs.(110.3±15.4)s( P>0.05). Time-consumption for laser fragmentation of group B was shorter than that of group A (525.8±58.5)s vs. (780.5±141.2)s( P<0.01). In animal surgery, the installation time of Ra-fURS gradually shortened within the first 7 cases was(234.0±43.0)s, and became comparable in the later 8-32 cases was(149.3±8.0)s. The average uninstall time was (43.9 ±5.9)s and was relatively stable. There were 51 renal calyxes in two pigs. It was higher for the completion rate of calyxes exploration in group B than in group A [(95.5±9.1)% vs. (59.1±9.1)%, P<0.05], and the exploration time was also statistically variant between the two groups group A and group B[(274.8±34.6)s vs.(127.3±18.2)s, P<0.05]. For all the operators, the comfort scores were favorable to the Ra-fURS as compared to the manual f-URS (8.9±0.3 vs. 5.9±1.1, P<0.05). Conclusions:This preliminary study demonstrated that the novel Ra-fURS was capable of controlling flexible ureteroscope to perform retrograde intrarenal surgery and fragmenting stones with laser. Besides, other features, including easy installation, stable performance and comfortable manipulating environment, made it easy to use in clinical application.

Objective: To understand sexual orientation and characteristics of sexual behaviors related with HIV infection among HIV positive male college students in Beijing and to provide suggestions for development of sexual health education and HIV prevention strategy for student population. Methods: HIV positive male college students diagnosed from 2016 to June 30, 2019 in Beijing were recruited. Questionnaire was used to retrospectively investigate sexual orientation and characteristics of sexual behaviors before HIV infection. Behaviors related to HIV infection were compared between absolutely homosexual and others sexual orientation. Results: The average age of male students firstly identified to be HIV positive was (22.18±2.70) years old, 61.5%(123) of them were undergraduate, 69.5%(139) were not registered permanent residency in Beijing, 38.5%(77) of their interviewed sexual partners were from online chat and 83.0%(166) had homosexual behaviors. Sexual orientation score analysis showed that 50.0% of the participants self identified as exclusively homosexual. Compared with other sexual oriental group, exclusively homosexual group had lower mean age of their HIV infection firstly identified（ t =2.77， P =0.01）, higher rate of Rush use, firstly insertive sexual behavior with male, firstly insertive sexual behavior before 18 years old, sexual partners more than three persons, having regular partners, nonpersistent use of condom, being diagnosed of sexual transmitted disease and the frequency of homosexual behaviors more than 1 time per month （ χ 2=5.15,28.06,4.16,5.34,5.89,7.39,6.68, P <0.05）. Rush users had higher rate of STD diagnosis than non users in exclusively homosexual group ( χ 2=6.26， P =0.01). Conclusion Risky sexual behaviors associated with HIV infection were higher in exclusively homosexual group then other sexual orientation groups among HIV positive male college students. Family and school should concern with sexual health education byreinforcing health education via network media to improve college students’ awarenees on HIV/AIDS.
