Objective To compare the clinical effects of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and minimally invasive intramedullary nailing osteosynthesis (MINO) in the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. Methods The clinical data of 53 patients with humeral shaft fractures treated with MIPO and MINO were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into MIPO group of 25 patients and MINO group of 28 patients according to differed surgical approaches. The operation time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, fracture healing time, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder function score at 1 year postoperatively, and Mayo elbow performance score at 1 year postoperatively were compared between the two groups. Results All 53 patients successfully completed the surgery, and no postoperative complications such as surgical site infection, radial nerve injury, fracture nonunion, implant breakage, or loosening occurred. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of operation time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, fracture healing time, and Mayo elbow performance score at 1 year postoperatively (P>0.05). The UCLA shoulder function score at 1 year postoperatively was better in the MIPO group than in the MINO group (P < 0.05). One patient in the MIPO group experienced wound fat liquefaction, and one patient in the MINO group experienced radial nerve palsy. Conclusion Both MIPO and MINO can achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of humeral shaft fractures, and both minimally invasive techniques are worthy of clinical promotion. However, MIPO has lesser impact on shoulder function.

Objective:To compare the changes of serum calcium level before and after surgical resection in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.Methods:Two hundred and seventy-one patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were enrolled from Dec 1992 to Dec 2020 in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. Serum calcium concentrations were measured before operation, 20 min during surgery, then 2 weeks 1-6 months , 7-12 months and 1 year respectively after operation. The baseline data of postoperative serum calcium such as sex, age, other genetic endocrine diseases, osteopathia and urolithiasis were calculated. The generalized estimation equation was used to analyze the changes of serum calcium in different types of patients before and after operation.Results:The most common postoperative hypocalcemia occurred within 2 weeks, and it occurred frequently half a year after surgery. There was no significant difference in blood calcium between male patients ( t=0.875, P=1.000) and patients with bone lesions ( t=0.034, P=3.049) from 1 to 6 months after surgery and 2 weeks after surgery. Blood calcium level in patients aged 15-35 years old from 1 to 6 months ( t=0.239, P=1.000) , from 7 to 12 months ( t=1.380, P=0.935) and 2 weeks after surgery was not statistically different. The change of bone mineral density was correlated with the change of blood calcium after operation ( F=6.895, P=0.004). Conclusions:The incidence of hypocalcemia was the highest in patients with hyperparathyroidism 2 weeks after surgery, and the blood calcium level was stable within the normal range 1 year later. The blood calcium value of male patients was still at a lower level than that of female patients within six months after surgery. In patients with bone disease, the blood calcium value was lower and recovered slowly 2 weeks after surgery. The blood calcium value of patients aged 15-35 was at a low level within 1 year after surgery.

Objectiv:To evaluate ultrasound, radionuclide imaging and CT in preoperative localization diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).Method:A total of 170 PHPT patients admitted to the hospital between Jan 1992 and Dec 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The preoperative localization diagnostic efficacy of ultrasonography, radionuclide and CT alone and in combination was compared in groups.Results:The overall sensitivity of ultrasound, radionuclide and CT were 82.13%,80.43% and 75.74%. For normal positioned parathyroid adenoma: as for sensitivity of location diagnosis, ultrasound (86.67%) was higher than radionuclide (81.82%, P<0.05) and CT (80.59%, P<0.05), ultrasound/CT parallel test (94.70%, P<0.05) was higher than ultrasound alone. For specificity of location diagnosis, radionuclide (97.78%) was higher than ultrasound (91.62%) and CT (93.39%), both ultrasound/radionuclide series tests (99.00%, P<0.001)and ultrasound/CT series tests (96.94%, P<0.001) were higher than ultrasound alone. In case of ectopic parathyroid adenoma and parathyroid hyperplasia: the sensitivity and specificity of radionuclide seemed higher than ultrasound and CT. Conclusions:Ultrasound is the first choice for preoperative location diagnosis of PHPT. Ultrasound combined with radionuclide or CT can significantly improve the diagnostic efficiency of parathyroid lesions.

Early detection and intervention are key strategies to reduce mortality, increase long-term survival, and improve the therapeutic effects of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Herein, the isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based quantitative pro-teomic strategy was used to study the secretomes in conditioned media from HCC cancerous tissues, surrounding noncancerous tissues, and distal noncancerous tissues to identify diagnostic and prog-nostic biomarkers for HCC. In total, 22 and 49 dysregulated secretory proteins were identified in the cancerous and surrounding noncancerous tissues, respectively, compared with the distal non-cancerous tissues. Among these proteins, carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ (CA2) was identified to be signifi-cantly upregulated in the secretome of cancerous tissues; correspondingly, the serum concentrations of CA2 were remarkably increased in HCC patients compared with that in normal populations. Interestingly, a significant increase of serum CA2 in recurrent HCC patients after rad-ical resection was also confirmed compared with HCC patients without recurrence, and the serum level of CA2 could act as an independent prognostic factor for time to recurrence and overall sur-vival. Regarding the mechanism, the secreted CA2 enhances the migration and invasion of HCC cells by activating the epithelial mesenchymal transition pathway. Taken together, this study identi-fied a novel biomarker for HCC diagnosis and prognosis, and provided a valuable resource of HCC secretome for investigating serological biomarkers.

Objective To study the relationship between uric acid and various cognitive functions in Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods A total of 46 patients with AD and 50 people without cognitive disorder were selected.Plasma uric acid,MOCA,and ADL were measured.Results The mean level of plasma uric acid was (217.93 ± 67.91 )μmol/L in ADs,and (337.02 ± 59.70) μmol/L in controls.The mean level of uric acid was significantly lower in the blood of patients with AD than control with a statistically significant difference ( t =9.142,P ＜0.01 ).Multiple regression analysis revealed that low uric acid,age,educated years,and hypertension were related to cognitive function( P ＜0.01,P ＜0.05 ).Partial correlation analysis revealed uric acid was significantly related to memory ( r =0.457,P =0.002),and attention ( r =0.398,P =0.008).Conclusions Low levels of uric acid may have influence on the occurrence and development of cognitive function impairment in AD.Uric acid may have more influence on the memory and attention in patients with AD.

To establish a UPLC method for simultaneous determination of seven chemical markers (gallic acid, catechin, alphitonin, taxifolin, kaempferol-3-O-beta-D-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside, and kaempferol-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside) of the flowers of Polygonum Oriental collected from Guizhou province. Separation was performed at 45 degrees on a ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm x 150 mm, 1.7 microm) with a gradient solvent system of 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile-0.1% aqueous formic acid as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 0.3 mL x min(-1), the detection wavelength was 280 nm, and the sample injection volume was 1 microL. In the selected linear range, all calibration curves of the seven chemical markers showed good linearity. The recoveries (n = 6) were in the range of 97.90% -101.4% and RSD were less than 3.8%. The results showed that the seven compounds contained in all the samples of the flowers of P. orientale can be chosen as their chemical markers and that this UPLC-PAD method is simple, reliable and suitable for the quality control of the flowers of P. orientale. However, the chemical markers may be present at different levels for samples collected in different areas and at different times. A collection time of mid-to-late August with relatively high content of the chemical markers was suggested for the flowers of P. orientale.

ObjectiveTo discuss the correlation of the surgical risk score with the change of T cell subsets and the occurrence of postoperative complications. MethodsA total of 260 patients with hip fractures treated in our department were enrolled in this study and divided into high-risk group ( Group A) and low-risk group (Group B) based on the surgical risk score. The fasting peripheral venous blood was taken in the morning at one day before surgery and at days 1,3, 5, 7 and 14 after surgery for measuring CD3, CD4 and CD8 levels respectively in two groups.In the meantime, the correlation of level changes with risk score and postoperative complications was observed in two groups. ResultsThere were two patients with lung infection in the Group B, with no death. There were two patients with pulmonary infection, one with wound infection and two with deep vein thrombosis, with one death. The postoperative levels of CD3 and CD4 in the Group A and Group B were significantly lower than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.01 ), which reached the lowest level at day 1 after operation and recovered to normal at day 5 after operation. The postoperative levels of CD3 and CD4 in the Group A recovered near to normal at day 7 and to normal at day 14. While the postoperative levels of CD3 and CD4 in the Group B remained low level even at day 14. The level of CD8 decreased at days 1 and 5 in the Group A, then increased and remained relatively stable, while the level of CD8 increased in the Group B. The T cell subsets in both groups recovered from low to high trend at days 1-7 after surgery. The higher preoperative score had more obvious decrease and slower recovery of the T cell subsets. ConclusionsSurgical risk score has positive correlation with the change of T cell subsets and postoperative complications, which can more accurately predict the postoperative outcome of the old patients.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of anterior decompression and autograft fusion under video-assisted thoracoscopic to treat lower thoracic vertebrae bursting fracture complicated with intervertebral disc injury.MethodsEleven patients who suffered from lower thoracic vertebrae bursting fracture complicated with intervertebral disc injury were treated with anterior decompression and autograft fusion under video-assisted thoracoscopic from December 2005 to May 2008.The involved vertebrae included T12 in 5cases,T11 in 4 cases,T10 in 1 case and Ts in 1 case.According to the AO classification,4 patients were A2.2and 7 were A3.According to the Frankel classification,5 patients were rated as grade A,2 as grade C,2 as grade D and 2 as grade E.ResultsEvery patient underwent successful operation.The operation time was 3.5-8 h(average,5.2±1.6).The blood loss was 600-3800 ml(average,1195±576).One patient got intercostal neuralgia after operation,which disappeared after treating with analgesic drugs for 7 days.All patients were followed up for 36-65 months (average,49.5±5.9).All patients got bony fusion according to the CT scans 24month after operation.There were no neurological function deterioration and other instrument complications happened.At the last follow-up,5 patients were rated as grade A,2 as grade D and 4 as grade E,according to the Frankel classification.ConclusionAnterior decompression and autograft fusion under video-assisted thoracoscopic is an effective method to treat lower thoracic vertebrae bursting fracture complicated with intervertebral disc injury.However,this method needs higher technology and has a long study-curve.
