Objective:To compare the effects of anterograde elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN-A), retrograde K-wires fixation (KW-R) and retrograde precision shaping of elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN-RPS) in the treatment of fractures of distal radial metaphyseal diaphyseal junction (DRMDJ) in children.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 112 eligible children with DRMDJ fracture who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Children's Hospital, Anhui Medical University and Department of Orthopedics, The People's Hospital of Fuyang City,Anhui Medical University, from January 2016 to May 2022. There were 64 males and 48 females, with an age of (8.4±2.3) years. The children were divided into 3 groups according to different surgical fixation methods: group ESIN-A of 36 cases, group KW-R of 52 cases, and group ESIN-RPS of 24 cases. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, fluoroscopy times, alignment rates and residual angulations by the anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films immediately after reduction were compared among the 3 groups. The Gartland-Werley evaluation of wrist function and complications were compared at the last follow-up.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data among the 3 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). In the operation time, group KW-R [(71.2±9.2) min] > group ESIN-A [(65.1±13.1) min] > group ESIN-RPS [(51.7±17.1) min]; in the fluoroscopy times, group KW-R [(13.9±6.3) times] > group ESIN-A [(9.0±2.8) times] > group ESIN-RPS [(6.4±2.0) times]; in the alignment rates by the anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films immediately after reduction, group ESIN-RPS (93.1%±4.6% and 95.2%±3.3%) > group KW-R (82.1%±11.0% and 88.1%±7.4%) > group ESIN-A (80.4%±9.9% and 86.7%±6.9%); in the residual angulations by the anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films immediately after reduction, group ESIN-RPS (3.3°±1.8° and 2.9°±2.1°) < group ESIN-A (5.2°±1.0° and 5.0°±3.2°) < group KW-R (6.6°±1.6°and 7.5°±2.7°). Pairwise comparisons in the above items were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In group ESIN-A, the incision length [(1.8±0.3) cm] was significantlylonger than that in group ESIN-RPS [(1.4±0.2) cm], and the intraoperative blood loss [(8.3±2.2) mL] significantly larger than that in group ESIN-RPS [(5.5±1.6) mL] ( P<0.05). One year after operation, the excellent and good rate by the Gartland-Werley evaluation of wrist function in groups ESIN-RPS, ESIN-A and KW-R, respectively, were 95.8% (23/24), 86.5% (31/36) and 86.1% (46/52), showing no statistically significant difference between the 3 group ( P>0.05), and the major incidence of complications in group KW-R (25.0%, 13/52) and in group ESIN-A (25.0%, 9/36) were significantly higher than that in group ESIN-RPS (4.2%, 1/24) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of DRMDJ fractures in children, compared with ESIN-A and KW-R, ESIN-RPS is an effective choice due to its advantages of shorter operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, less radiation, better alignment, and fewer complications.

Hypercalcemia is an abnormal calcium metabolism, which can be caused by many diseases. Hypercalcemia caused by sarcoidosis is unusual. Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease, it is lack of specificity in initial manifestations and easy to be misdiagnosed. In this paper, we report a patient with hypercalcemia and mediastinal lymphadenectasis, which the first diagnosis was misdiagnosed as tumour. Finally, sarcoidosis was diagnosed by mediastinal lymph node biopsy, and the patient was subsequently treated with glucocorticoid. Prednisone treatment improved symptoms of sarcoidosis, normalised serum calcium and mediastinal lymph nodes were diminished. This case suggests that clinicians need to raise awareness of sarcoidosis to identify and diagnose it correctly.

Objective:
To evaluate the influence of happiness therapy intervention on the medication compliance and quality of life of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients after discharge.
Methods:
A total of 106 adult AIDS patients discharged from hospital from July 2016 to July 2017 were randomly divided into control group (52 cases), observation group (54 cases). The control group was given routine health education and instruction, and three times of happiness therapy intervention were performed during the hospitalization. The observation group increased the number of happiness therapy intervention after discharge according to the patient′s medication compliance. The medication compliance scale and quality of life scale were used to evaluate the compliance rate and quality of life of patients in 2 groups at discharge, 3 months after discharge, 6 months after discharge, and 12 months after discharge.
Results:
There was no significant difference in medication compliance and quality of life at discharge and 3 months after discharge between the two groups (

AIM To study the effects of polydatin on free radical induced rat cortex mitochondria injury. METHODS Fe 2++VitC system was used to produce ?OH. The mitochondria was isolated. Mitochondria membrane fluidity, swelling and contents of phospholipid were determined to measure the function of mitochondria membrane. The activities of ATPase and Cytochrome C oxidase were determined to measure the ability of mitochondria energy metabolism. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and content of malondial dehyde (MDA) were determined to measure the ability of anti oxygenation. RESULTS ?OH resulted in severe neuronal mitochondria injuries and the injuries and the injuries was alleviated by Polydatin (content of 100,200,400 mg?L -1). The swelling of mitochondria was ameliorated, the decomposability of mitochondrion membrane phospholipid was decreased, the membrane fluidity of mitochondria was increased. Polydatin also significantly inhibited the decrease in SOD, Cytochrome C oxidase and ATPase activity and the increase in MDA levels caused by free radical. CONCLUSION Polydatin has a protective action against the rat neuronal mitochondria injuries induced by oxygen free radical. The mechanisms may be derived from scavenging free radicals, reducing lipid peroxides, and improving the energy metabolism.
