Objective To compare the clinical outcome of external fixation device with Kirschner wire or fragment fixation pin with mini plate and screw fixation in treatment of metacarpal and phalangeal articular fracture dislocation. Methods From October 2002 to March 2008, 106 patients with metacarpal and phalangeal articular fracture dislocation were randomly divided into A and B group. The 53 patients in A group were treated with external fixation device with Kirschner wire or fragment fixation pin. There were thumb injury in 24 cases, fracture-dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint(PIP) in 36 cases, fracture-dislocation of metacarpophalangeal joint (MP) in 17 cases. The 53 patients in B group were treated with mini plate and screw fixation. There were thumb injury in 22 cases, fracture-dislocation of PIP in 30 cases, fracture-dislocation of MP in 23 cases. Duncan rating criteria were used to compare finger range of motion. Results The mean follow-up of 16.8 and 17.5 months in A group and B group. According to Duncan rating criteria, there were excellent in 33 cases, good in 16, fair in 3, and poor in 1 case. The excellent and good rate was 92.5% in A group. There were excellent in 30 cases, good in 17, fair in 5, and poor in 1 case. The excellent and good rate was 88.7% in B group. In A group, 1 case of wound infection was found. The average arc of motion of thumb joint was 134°±21° while the average arc of motion of other fingers was 248°±19°. In B group, no wound infection occurred. The average arc of motion of thumb joint was 122°±18° while the average arc of motion of other fingers was 225°±17°. Conclusion External fixation device with Kirschner wire or fragment fixation pin was better than the application of mini plate and screw fixation in treatment of metacarpal and phalangeal articular fracture-dislocation.

Experimental acute serum sickness was produced in 20 rabbits By a sensitizing injection with bovine serum albumin (BSA) through the auricular vein. Five days after the sensitization, ten of the 20 animals were given a total body irradiation of 300 r from a 60Co sourse. No radiation was given to the other 10 animals which served as controls. Blood samples were taken from the rabbits of both groups before and 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10, 12, 14, and 16 days after antigen injection. After the sera were seperated, the concentrations of the circulating immune complexes were determined with the PEG complement consumption test. It was found that the dynamic curves of the concentrations of the circulating immune complexes of the two groups were essentially similar. This result strongly suggests that total body irradiation of gamma rays given five days after the sensitization of an antigen exerts no influence on the formation of the circulating immune complexes though acute radiation sickness is well established.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effectiveness of Bushen Huoxue Decoction in improving the erectile function of male patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation.
METHODSEighty male CHD patients after PCI with stent implantation were equally assigned to receive conventional Western medicine (control group) and combination of Western medicine with Bushen Huoxue Decoction (treatment group), both for 3 months. Then we compared the pre- and post-medication IIEF-5 scores between the two groups of patients.
RESULTSCompared with pre-medication, the total IIEF-5 score was significantly increased after 3 months both in the treatment group (8.19 ± 2.87 vs 17.83 ± 4.92, P <0.05) and in the control (7.98 ± 2.96 vs 12.18 ± 3.69, P <0.05), even higher in the former than in the latter group (P <0.05), and so were the scores on the 5 specific items (all P <0.05). The total effectiveness rate was 72.5% in the treatment group, significantly higher than 47.5% in the control (P <0.05). No obvious adverse reactions and events were observed during the treatment in either of the groups.
CONCLUSIONBushen Huoxue Decoction can obviously improve the erectile function and the quality of the sexual life of CHD patients after PCI with stent implantation.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) under virtual bronchoscopic navigation (direct path), endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (GS) and rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) for solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). Methods One hundred and seventy-eight patients who were underwent transbronchial lung biopsy in the Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between January 2015 to December 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. CT images of all patients showed solitary pulmonary nodules surrounded by lung tissue, and ROSE was undergone during the procedure. The patients were divided into conventional (C-TBLB) group, virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) group, endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (GS) group, and virtual bronchoscopic navigation combined with endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath group (combination) depending on the different devices. The diagnostic yield and the location or the effect of lesion on the diagnostic rate were compared between four groups. The coincidence rate of ROSE and the histopathological findings of TBLB were compared. The value of ROSE for the early diagnosis of disease was further evaluated. Results The diagnostic rates were 32.5%(13/40), 66.7%(24/36), 68.2%(30/44) and 75.8%(44/58) for C-TBLB group, VBN group, GS group and combination group, respectively. There were significant differences in diagnostic rates between C-TBLB group and other tree groups (χ2=8.853, 10.677 and 18.293, P<0.008). But there were no significant differences in diagnostic rates between VBN group, GS group and combination group (P>0.008). The diagnostic rates for peripheral pulmonary nodules were 12.5% (2/16), 42.9% (6/14), 40.0% (4/10) and 75.9%(22/29) in C-TBLB group, VBN group, GS group and combination group. The diagnostic rate was significantly higher in combination group than that of other three groups (χ2=17.434, P<0.05). The result of ROSE was consistent with result of histopathology (Kappa = 0.775, P<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of ROSE during transbronchial biopsy for solitary pulmonary nodules were 90.7%, 87.0%, 86.7%, 90.9% and 88.8%, respectively. No pneumothorax, hemoptysis or other serious complications were found in patients. Conclusion Virtual bronchoscopic navigation, endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath for solitary pulmonary nodules by transbronchial lung biopsy can improve the diagnostic rate of solitary pulmonary nodules.
