Observing the clinical curative effect of orthopedics lotion to treat traumatic ankle arthritis, the outpatient department of orthopedics in Guang'anmen Hospital collected 60 cases who were diagnosed as traumatic ankle arthritis. The cases who already met the inclusion criteria, were randomly divided into the treatment group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). Thirty patients in treatment group were received fumigation treatment with orthopedics lotion; 30 patients in control group were treated by intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate. After 5 weeks treatment, the effects on the both groups would be observed and analysed. Baird-Jackson scoring system was used to assess the overall curative effect. Visual analogue scales (VAS) was used to assess analgesic effect. BJ scores of pre-treatment and post-treatment in both the treatment group and the control group were compared, P <0O. 01, significantly different; and the BJ scores after treatment of two groups were compared by paired t-test, the t value is 1. 76, there was no significant difference between two groups. Both of the treatments were effective, but there was no significant difference in overall curative effect between the two kinds of treatment. The VAS scores after treatment of two groups were compared by paired t-test, the t value was 2. 282, and there was a significant difference between two groups (P <0. 05). The analgesic effect shown in treatment group was better than the control group. The results suggest that: orthopedics lotion is a effective way to treat traumatic ankle arthritis, and it has significant effect on analgesic.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between H-type hypertension and acute cerebral infarction. Methods: A total of 220 consecutive patients with acute cerebral infarction diagnosed by head MRI were included in the study. At the same period, 120 hospitalized patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) whose cerebral infarction were excluded with head MRI were used as the control group. The age, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, family history and other risk factors of the patients were documented. The fasting venous samples of all the subjects were collected at day 2 and 3 after the onset. The level of serum homocysteine (Hcy) was detected by using high-performance liquid chromatography. Using Hcy ge; 10 μmol/L as the standard of high homocysteine (Hhcy), hypertensive patients with Hhcy were the H-type hypertension. The patients with the increased Hcy only were the simple Hhcy group, and the patients with elevated blood pressure only were the sample hypertension group. Results: Circled digit oneThe Hcy levels of the patients in the cerebral infarction group was higher than those in the control group. The incidences of hypertension, Hhcy and H-type hypertension were higher than those in the control group. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01). Circled digit twoAmong the 340 patients, the incidence of cerebral infarction in the hypertensive patients was higher than that in the normotensive subjects (χ2 = 10.290, P < 0.01); the incidence of cerebral infarction in patients with Hhcy was higher than that in patients with normal Hcy (χ = 27.396, P < 0.01). The incidence of cerebral infarction in patients with H-type hypertension (73.3%) was higher than that in the simple hypertension group (42.3%), the simple HHcy group (61.3%), and both blood pressure and Hcy were normal group (18.2%). The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Circled digit threeMultivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for acute cerebral infarction were H-type hypertension (OR, 3.34, 95% CI: 1.59-7.02) and Hhcy (OR, 1.96, 95% CI: 1.15-3.36). Conclusion: The Hcy levels of the patients with acute cerebral infarction is elevated, and the patients with H-type hypertension has higher incidence of cerebral infarction, H-type hypertension may be an independent risk factor for stroke events.

The differential diagnosis of malignant and benign ascites plays an important role in the treatment of diseases.There have been lots of clinical biochemical parameters for the differentiation of malignant and benign ascites,including fibronectin,lactic dehydrogenase,cholesteral,total protein,adenosine deaminase,serum ascites albumin gradient,free fatty acid,carcinoma embryo antigen,thymidine kinase,pseudouridine,telomerase,?1-antitrypsin,glucose,and pH.The diagnosis efficacy of these biochemical parameters is reviewed in this article.

The phenomenon of recessive absence was initiated by many malpractices in current medical educational system.In this article we try to analyze this phenomenon,speculate the subjective and objective reasons,propose countermeasures such as improving teachers quality,reforming traditional teaching mode,strengthening medical ethics education,enriching teaching means and addressing student-centered lectures.

Objective To observe the influence of Fibronectin-Thrombopoietin(FN-TPO) gene modified human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) on the engraftment of cord blood hematopoietic stem cells.Methods FN-TPO gene modified human bone marrow MSCs combined with cord blood mononuclear cells(CB-MNC) were transplanted to sublethal dose treated severe combined immunodeficiency disease(SCID) mice.After transplantation,these mice were observed for 4 weeks.Peripheral blood cell counts were performed at different time point to assay the hematopoietic system status of the mice.Four weeks after the transplantation,human-sourced cell integration was assayed by flow cytometry(FCM) and polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Results One week after the cell transplantation,every main index of the peripheral blood cell counts in the gene modified group was higher than that in the control groups(P

Objective To investigate the levels of interleukin 1? (IL 1?) and tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF ?) in both serum and CSF in patients with Alzheimer's disease Methods Eleven patients with Alzheimer's disease,13 patients with vascular dementia (VD) and 13 healthy controls were analyzed by using commercial ELISA kits Results The average serum level of IL 1? was found higher in AD patients(60 13?17 81 pg/ml) than in VD patients(38 51?14 39 pg/ml) and in healthy controls(33 98?16 31 pg/ml)( P

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (pNEN)is a kind of rare neoplasms with high heterogeneity.Surgery is the first choice to cure local resectable tumor.However,for patients with local advanced tumor or distant metastasis, medical treatment is the main option. Medical treatment mainly encompasses biotherapy, targeted therapy and chemotherapy.Clinicians should make therapeutic option for patients based on the functional status and somatostatin receptor status of the tumor,tumor grade,tumor stage and drug toxicity profile.

Objective To investigate the surgical treatment for ipsilateral fractures of femoral neck and shaft. Methods 26 cases of ipsilateral fractures of femoral neck and shaft treated from January 1996 to December 2002 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 22 males and 4 females, with an average of 28 years (range 17-50 years). The causes of fractures were traffic accident in 17 and fall in 9. The femoral neck fractures were diagnosed in emergency in 16 cases, and delayedly in 10 cases. The delayed time was 3-75 days, with an average of 13.1 days. All cases were divided into three types according to the site of femeral shaft fracture. Type Ⅰ: the proximal 1/3 femoral shaft fracture combined with neck fracture, in 3 cases; Type Ⅱ: the middle 1/3 femoral shaft combined with neck fracture, in 18 cases; Type Ⅲ: the distal 1/3 femoral shaft fracture combined with neck fracture in 5 cases. All cases were undergone surgical reduction and internal fixation. The femoral shaft fractures were stabilized with dynamic compression plate (DCP) in 13, with antegrade intramedullary locking nail in 2 cases, with retrograde intramudullary locking nail in 5 cases. The femoral neck fractures of these 20 patients were stabilized with cannulated lag screw. The femoral neck and shaft were stabilized with dynamic hip screw system (DHS) in 2, with constructive nail in 4. Results All of the patients were followed up for 3 to 9 years, with an average of 4.4 years. The femoral shaft fractures obtained rigid union at the latest follow-up study in 25. The duration for bone union ranged from 16 to 32 weeks, with an average of 20 weeks. The femoral neck fractures were united at the latest follow-up study in 25. The duration for bone union ranged from 12 to 28 weeks, with an average of 16 weeks. The complications included infection in 1, hardware failure in 1, nonunion of femoral neck fracture in 1 and osteonecrosis of femoral head in 1. Conclusion The ipsilateral fracture of femoral neck and shaft is rare, and the neck fracture is easy to miss diagnosis. The surgical treatment for ipsilateral fractures of femoral neck and shaft depends on the position of femoral shaft, and the situation of femoral neck.
