Objective: To investigate the characteristics of hospitalized injury cases in Huangpu District, Guangzhou City in 2022, so as to provide evidence for optimizing injury prevention interventions. Methods: Data on hospitalized injury cases admitted between January to December 2022 were collected through the hospitalization registry system from 17 healthcare institutions in Huangpu District. The population distribution characteristics, causes of injury, injury sites, duration of hospital stay, and hospitalization costs were descriptively analyzed. Results: A total of 6 729 hospitalized injury cases were reported in Huangpu District in 2022, including 4 277 males and 2 452 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.74∶1. The average age was (49.57±19.82) years, with 2 064 cases (30.67%) aged 45 to <60 years and 1 921 cases (28.55%) aged ≥60 years. The median length of hospitalization was 9.00 (interquartile range, 11.00) days, with median hospitalization costs of 15 968.93 (interquartile range, 25 786.69) yuan. In the months of June to August, there were more cases of injury hospitalization,with 1 904 cases accounting for 28.30%. The top three causes of injury were falls (2 895 cases, 43.02%), transportation accidents (1 247 cases, 18.53%) and exposure to inanimate mechanical forces (1 104 cases, 16.41%). The top three injured sites were lower limb injuries (1 850 cases, 27.49%), upper limb injuries (1 596 cases, 23.72%) and other sites (1 178 cases, 17.51%). The three leading causes of injury with longest hospitalization duration were burns and scalds, transport accidents and falls, with the median duration being 12.00 (interquartile range, 8.00) days, 10.00 (interquartile range, 13.00) days and 10.00 (interquartile range, 11.00) days, respectively. The top three injury sites associated with the longest hospitalization duration were others, lower limb injuries, and head and neck injuries, with the median duration being 11.00 (interquartile range, 13.00) days, 11.00 (interquartile range, 11.00) days, and 10.00 (interquartile range, 12.00) days, respectively. The causes of injury associated with higher hospitalization costs were falls and transportation accidents, with the median hospitalization cost being 23 550.13 (interquartile range, 30 087.76) yuan for falls and 20 301.94 (interquartile range, 30 589.86) yuan for transportation accidents. The injury sites associated with higher hospitalization costs were lower limb injuries and upper limb injuries, with the median hospitalization cost being 24 257.32 (interquartile range, 34 145.54) yuan for lower limb injuries and 16 506.33 (interquartile range, 20 052.27) yuan for upper limb injuries. Conclusions In Huangpu District, hospitalized injury mainly occurred among males and individuals aged ≥45 years, with the higher incidence observed between June and August. Fall was the primary cause of injury, while lower limb injuries was the main injury sites. The injury resulted in substantially higher hospitalization costs.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for failures of intramedullary and extramedullary internal fixation in surgery of femoral intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients.Methods A retrospective study was conducted of the 205 elderly patients with osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fracture who had accepted closed reduction together with intramedullary and extramedullary internal fixation between September 2005 and August 2014.They were 89 men and 116 women,from 65 to 98 year of age (average,78.8 years).By AO classification,137 cases were of types AI.1-A2.1 (stable fractures),and 68 of type A2.2-A3.3(unstable fractures).The incidence of internal fixation failure and Harris scores at the last follow-up were recorded.The factors possibly contributing to the failure were analyzed using the univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results Of the patients,192 obtained a mean follow-up of 39 months (from 14 to 60 months),but 13 were lost after a 10-month follow-up.Of the 205 patients,internal fixation failure occurred in 12 (incidence of 5.9％).Five failed cases received DHS fixation and 7 accepted PENA fixation.At the last follow-up when the 13 cases were lost after 10-month follow-up,the mean Harris hip score was 81.6 (from 57 to 92),and the excellent to good rate was 84.9％ (29 excellent cases,145 good ones,10 fair ones and 21 poor ones).The multivariate regression analysis revealed that tip-apex distance (TAD) ＞ 25 mm(OR ＝ 333.33),severe osteoporosis (OR =267.44),AO types A2.2-A3.3 (OR ＝ 22.24),functional reduction of fracture (OR =20.79),and concomitant medical diseases (OR =4.59) were independent risk factors for failures of internal fixation.Conclusions DHS and PFNA fixations are effective treatments for elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures.TAD＞ 25 mm,severe osteoporosis,unstable factures,functional reduction of fracture,and concomitant medical diseases may lead to internal fixation failure in surgery of femoral intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients.

Objective To analyze the results of detection of infectious indicators of patients from the first affiliated hospital of Nanjing Medical University in recent 5 years ,and to provide a scientific basis for the control and prevention of infectious diseases . Methods The patients with clinical data from January 2010 to April 2014 were retrospectively analyzed ,then the infectious indica‐tors of all the subjects were detected and analyzed .Results HIV positive rate was between 0 .043% to 0 .061% ,positive rate of HCV was between 1 .07 to 1 .41% ,positive rate of TP was between 2 .01% to 2 .17% .HBsAg positive rate in 2010 was 8 .36% ,the positive rate was 7 .81% in 2014 .HBsAb positive rate in 2010 was 35 .36% ,positive rate was 50 .96% in 2014 .Conclusion Effec‐tively cut off the route of transmission could prevent the further spread of infectious disease .

Objective To improve early diagnosis of testicular torsion,reduce misdiagnosis and reduce the rate of orchiectomy.Methods The diagnosis and treatment of testicular torsion in 31 cases were retrospectively ana-lyzed.Results 54.8% misdiagnosis rate was in this group,all the 31 cases were diagnosed by color Doppler ultra-sound,including 19 cases of retained testicle and orchiectomy in 12 cases (38.7%).In 19 cases of this group retained testis,testicular torsion time within 5 hours was 2 cases,and postoperative had testicles survival.In the 6 cases of testicular torsion time within 5 hours to 10 hours,5 cases had the testis survival.In the 5 cases of torsion of testis time was 10 hours to 24 hours,3 caseshad the testis survival.In the 6 cases of testicular torsion time more than 24 hours,2 cases of testis survival.After postoperative following-up,19 cases of retained testis had no recurrence,all the 31 cases were found no contralateral testicular torsion and all cases sex hormone levels were in the normal levels. Conclusion Testicular torsion is easily misdiagnosed,color doppler ultrasound should be preferred.Early diagnosis and aggressive surgical exploration,unity and strictly control the orchiectomy surgery indications,means a lot to reduce the rate of orchiectomy.
