BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that malnutrition was associated with death of elder people after fracture of hip, but there were no above-mentioned reports in China.
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the relationship of blood albumin, total lymphocyte count and hemoglobin levels to prognosis when elder patients with fracture of hip were on admission.
METHODS:130 elderly patients with hip fractures aged ≥ 70 years were included underwent either total hip arthroplasty or bipolar arthroplasty. Admission serum albumin, total lymphocytecount and hemoglobin levels were recorded. The patients were fol owed up for 1 year or til the death. Survival data were available in 92 patients. Rates of survival were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and the Log-Rank test. Cox proportional hazard regression model received prognostic multivariate analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Of the 92 patients, albumin<35 g/L in 20 cases (22%), total lymphocyte count<1.5×106/L in 67 cases (73%), and hemoglobin<120 g/L in 56 cases (61%). Kaplan-Meier method showed that the survival rate of patients with normal albumin (≥ 35 g/L) was significantly higher than those with reduced albumin (<35 g/L) (P<0.01). No significant difference was detected in the survival rate of patients with normal total lymphocyte count (≥ 1.5×106/L) and reduced total lymphocyte count (<1.5×106/L) (P>0.05). The survival rate of patients with normal hemoglobin (≥ 120 g/L) was significantly higher than those with decreased hemoglobin (<120 g/L) (P <0.05). Cox multivariate analysis displayed that albumin decrease is an independent prognostic factor for death of patients with hip fracture. Results indicated that the prognosis of elder patients with hip fracture was strongly associated with their nutritional conditions. Albumin and hemoglobin levels at admission can be considered as important indexes for judging patient’s prognosis.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of lengthening and rotational osteotomy of the fibula for lateral malleolar malunion. Methods Twenty-three patients who had suffering from the traumatic arthritis of ankle were due to lateral malleolar malunion treated with lengthening and rotational osteotomy from October 2005 to July 2008. Special radiographs were use to fully detect the extent of shortening and rotation of the fibula. The Lengthening and rotational osteotomy could be conducted with a special compression/distraction device and bone graft. The function of the ankles was evaluated by the American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system. Serial radiographs of the ankle were made to assess the bone healing and changes of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Results Seventeen of 23 patients were followed up, with a mean 29.1 months (12-45 months). All the fractures were healed. The mean bone healing time was 13.3 weeks (11-16 weeks) and the mean time of total weight-bearing was 12.1 weeks (11-15 weeks). The ankle function score had improved from 29 (21-47) preoperatively to 81 (56-91)12 months after the operation. There was 5 in excellent, 8 in good, 3 in mild, 1 in poor, and the rate of good outcomes was 76.5%. After the operation, 1 patient had a skin necrosis around the wound which healed by conservative treatment. A slightly aggravated degeneration of the ankle joint was seen in 2 patients who responded to conservative managements. No failure of the internal fixation was noted in this group. Conclusion The outcomes demonstrate that reconstructive lengthening osteotomy is well worthwhile when there is absent or minimal osteoarthritic change, regardless the time from the original injury. Lengthening of the fibula is an important step in the treatment of the painful ankle when the fibula become shorter after injury, even when degenerative changes of the joint are already present. The lengthening of the fibula could lead to a good outcome in ankle with lateral malleolar malunion.

BACKGROUND: Quiet a number of researches has reported the morphological changes of global ischemic reperfusion model. However, there are few reports on the ultrastructural changes of cortex in early reperfusion, especially the change of blood brain barrier.OBJECTIVE: To explore the changes of brain cortex neurons, glial cells and blood brain barrier in order to provide reliable evidence for clinical treatment.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial.SETTING: Department of Neurosurgery, Departnent of Anesthesia and Electron Microscope Room of Beijing Tiantan Hospital.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted to 6 Wistar rats in Beijing Neurological Surgery Research Institute of Capital University of Medical Sciences during February 2003 to February 2004. The rats were randomly divided into two groups with one of ischemia-reperfusion group and sham operation group with 3 rats in each group.INTERVENTIONS: To prepare global ischemic reperfusion model of rats. Brain was removed from ischemic group in one hour of reperfusion and from sham operation group one hour after the operation. Electronic microscope technique was used to observe the ultrastructural changes of cortex.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Ultrastructural changes of cortex.RESULTS: The neurons of cortex shrank to certain degree in the early stage of ischemic reperfusion(1 hour) . The glial cells were swollen with dissolved chromosome in nucleus and unclear nuclear membrane. The foot protrusions around blood vessel slightly swelled and separated from basement membrane. Mircro-tubes were partially dissolved.CONCLUSION: In early stage of reperfusion injury, the cortex neurons, glial cells, cellular framework and blood brain barrier already changed which suggested that the protective treatment such as reducing brain edema, protecting blood brain barrier should start as early as possible.
