OBJECTIVETo discuss the treatment strategy of acetabular fractures and unstable pelvic fracture of the hip and to evaluate its outcome.
METHODSRetrospective analysis of clinical data in 32 patients with unstable pelvic fracture and acetabular fractures from January 2007 to June 2013 were collected. There were 18 males and 14 females aged from 18 to 62 years old (means 38 years old). According to Tile classification of pelvic fracture, 11 cases were type B1, 8 were type B2.1, 7 were type B2.2, 3 were type C1.1, 2 were type C1.2, 1 was type C3. According to Judet-Letournel classification, anterior column fracture was in 1 case, transverse fracture in 8, transverse plus posterior wall fracture in 6, T-type fracture in 1, anterior column plus half transverse fractures in 5, double column fracture in 11. Other combined injuries were treated early, the surgical operation were performed after stable condition. The hip joint function and the fracture reduction were assessed during follow-up.
RESULTSThe operative time was from 1.8 to 6.5 hours (averaged 3 hours). Two fat patients' incision occurred in fat liquefaction and healed after dressing, no incision infection happened. Only 1 case was lost to follow-up, 31 patients were followed up with a mean time of 23 months (6 to 42 months). The healing time of pelvic fracture was from 8 to 18 weeks (averaged in 10.6 weeks). The hip function was evaluated according to the Matta and Tornetta standard postoperatively, the result was excellent in 15 cases, good in 14 cases, fair and poor in 1 case respectively. The Majeed score of the hip function was 83.65? 7.67, the result was excellent in 15 cases, good in 12 cases and fair in 4 cases. The healing time of acetabular fractures was from 8 to 16 weeks (averaged in 10.2 weeks). The fracture reduction was assessed by Matta standard, the result was excellent in 15 cases, good in 12 cases and fair in 4 cases. The heterotopic ossification was evaluated by Brooker standard, 4 cases were grade I, 1 case was grade II . There were no infection, nonunion and necrosis of the femoral head in all patients. The nerve damage symptoms in 5 patients disappeared during 4 to 6 months after operation.
CONCLUSIONPatients with unstable pelvic fractures and acetabulum fractures were in a critical condition early, using the concept of damage control to save lives in a timely manner. Grasp the operation time in the late treatment, acetabulum fractures reach anatomical reduction as far as possible, pelvic fractures are given priority to stable reconstruction. The operation order was fixed pelvic ring first, according to the condition to choose the appropriate surgical approach and fixed mode.

ObjectiveTo determine the cerebral protection effect and mechanism of propofol on global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion damage in rats.Methods19 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, ischemia group (n=7), propofol group (n=7), and sham injury group (n=5). Global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion model were made by means of Pulsinelli's method. Rats in propofol group were anesthesia with propofol at the dosage of 1.5 ml/h for 30 min at the beginning of reperfusion. Apoptosis and necrosis rate were detected by cytometry. In the same time, bcl-2, Bax and p53 protein expression in hippocampus neurons were detected. ResultsThe apoptosis and necrosis rate in propofol group were significantly decreased as compared with ischemia group ( P<0.05). Bax and p53 protein expression in hippocampus neurons were also significantly decreased as compared with ischemia group (P<0.05), however, no significant findings in bcl-2 protein expression (P>0.05).ConclusionPropofol can decrease apoptosis and necrosis rate in cerebral ischemia reperfusion injured neuron, and the mechanism maybe related to decreasing the expression of Bax, p53 protein.

Objective:To investigate the correlation and dose-response relationship of pulse pressure and pulse pressure index with metabolic syndrome in the elderly population.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study.A total of 114 212 subjects aged 65 years and over in Wujin District receiving health examination in 2019 were enrolled, including 40 388(35.4%)patients with metabolic syndrome.The survey contents included a questionnaire, physical examination and laboratory tests.Logistic regression and restricted cubic splines were used to analyze the correlation and dose-response relationship of pulse pressure and pulse pressure index with metabolic syndrome.Results:With increases in pulse pressure levels and pulse pressure index, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components increased accordingly( P<0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, the ORvalue of metabolic syndrome gradually increased along with increases in pulse pressure and pulse pressure index.Compared with the first quartile, pulse pressure and pulse pressure index in the second, third and fourth quartiles were correlated with metabolic syndrome(pulse pressure: OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.47~1.58, OR=1.89, 95% CI: 1.82~1.96 and OR=2.15, 95% CI: 2.07~2.23, respectively; pulse pressure index: OR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.18~1.26, OR=1.36, 95% CI: 1.31~1.41 and OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.42~1.53, respectively). Restricted cubic spline analysis showed that pulse pressure and pulse pressure index had non-linear dose-response relationships with metabolic syndrome( χ2=309.23 and 57.14, P<0.01). Conclusions:Pulse pressure and pulse pressure index are correlated and show non-linear dose-response relationships with metabolic syndrome and its components in the elderly.

The paper aims to explore the studying method for the pharmacokinetics of drugs in target organs, the pharmacokinetic process of tramadol hydrochloride in the extracellular fluid of frontal cortex (FrCx) of mice was investigated. Six male mice (Kunming strain) were anaesthetized (urethane, 1.8 g x kg(-1), ip) and secured on a stereotaxic frame. A microdialysis probe was implanted into the FrCx and perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid at a flow rate of 2 microL x min(-1). One hour later, mice were administrated (ip) with tramadol hydrochloride (50 mg x kg(-1)) and dialysates were collected continuously at 12-min intervals (24 microL each) for 6 h. The tramadol concentration in dialysates was determined by HPLC-Ultraviolet detection method, and the concentration-time curve and pharmacokinetic parameters of tramadol were calculated with DAS software. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic process of tramadol in the FrCx extracellular fluid of mice was fitted to a two-compartment open model, and the main pharmacokinetic parameters t1/2alpha, t1/2beta, t(max), C(max) and AUC(0-infinity) were (0.27 +/- 0.05) h, (2.72 +/- 0.24) h, (0.50 +/- 0.10) h, (2 110.37 +/- 291.22) microg x L(-1) and (4 474.51 +/- 441.79) microg x L(-1) x h, respectively. In conclusion, a studying method for pharmacokinetics of drugs in the target organ is established, which is simple and feasible. Tramadol hydrochloride shows a two-compartment model in the extracellular fluid of the mouse FrCx, and the distribution- and elimination half-life are 0.5 h and 2.7 h, respectively.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the startup detail of circulation dysfunction and its role in the progress of delayed neuropsychologic sequelae (DNS) after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning with comparison with the model of ischemia-reperfusion.
METHODSThe ischemia-reperfusion rat model was established by Pulsinelli-Brierley method, and the CO poisoning rats model by i.p. injected with CO repeatedly respectively, and the rats were identified with DNS following the experiment of pathology and the ethnology.
RESULTSThe whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit and fibrinogen increased significantly immediately after reperfusion, and recovered gradually with the ischemia-reperfusion rat model. The whole blood viscosity decreased significantly immediately after CO treated i.p. Especially at low shear rate, the hematocrit also declined remarkably in the early stage after CO treatment. But 1day later, these parameters turned to the trend of the ischemia-reperfusion rats. There was a prominent elevation of both indexes until the 14th day following CO injection i.p.
CONCLUSIONThere are significantly sustained hyper-coagulation and hyper-viscosity with circulation in rats after CO poisoning compared with ischemia-reperfusion model during the period of DNS, which might contribute to increase cerebral circulation resistance, blocked blood flow, and deteriorate hypoxemia in progression of DNS.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation of tenascin-c (TN-C) degradation with relapse and/or metastasis in stage-I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in order to search for a potential biomarker for predicting recurrence, and also to investigate the molecular mechanism of TN-C degradation. Methods The fragment of TN-C in 63 surgically treated stage-I NSCLC was detected by Western blotting, and the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was also examined by gelatin zymography.
RESULTSTN-C degradation fragment was positively detected in 12 of 63 patients, and 9 of these 12 patients (75.0%) were found to develope recurrence during follow-up. The recurrence-free survival at 4 years was 28.1% in patients with positive TN-C degradation versus 82.1% in those without (P < 0.001), and which was 76.6% at 10 years in the patients without TN-C degradation. The activity of MMP-2 in the patients with positive TN-C degradation was also found to be significantly higher than that in the patients without (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONTenascin-c degradation fragment may be a reliable biomarker for predicting recurrence and/or metastasis in the early NSCLC, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 may be a responsible proteinase for degradation of tenascin-c.

Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is an autosomal dominant disorder which is mainly caused by JAG1 gene mutation and can affect multiple systems including the liver, heart, eyes, skeleton and face. This paper reports the clinical and genetic features of an ALGS patient. A 2-year-and-9-month-old boy was referred to the hospital with the complaint of abnormal liver function and heart murmur discovered over two years. Jaundice of the skin and sclera was not observed. The child had a prominent forehead, left esotropia, depressed nasal bridge and micromandible. The two lungs were clear on auscultation, but a systolic cardiac murmur of grade 2/6 could be heard between the 2nd and 3rd intercostal space at the left sternal border. Neither abdominal distension nor enlarged liver or spleen was discovered. X-ray radiography uncovered butterfly malformation of the 6th and 8th thoracic vertebrae. Serum biochemistry analysis revealed elevation of total bile acids, bilirubin and transaminases. Based on the clinical characteristics and the consultation opinion of the ophthalmologist, the child was diagnosed to have ALGS with Duane retraction syndrome. DNA direct sequencing detected a novel JAG1 mutation c.2419delG(p.Glu807AsnfsX819) in the child. Symptomatic and supportive therapy was performed thereafter and clinical follow-up was conducted until he was 4 years and 2 months. In the follow-up visits, his general condition remained stable, but the facial malformations, left esotropia, cardiac murmur and abnormal liver function persistend. The long-term outcome needed to be observed.
