BACKGROUND:Stable intertrochanteric fractures can be treated by closed reduction and internal fixation,but there is no absolute advantage for unstable intertrochanteric fractures with osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efficacy of arthroplasty in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly with osteoporosis by comparing the indexes related to closed reduction internal fixation and arthroplasty. METHODS:Clinical data of 102 elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur treated in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical method.In the Gamma3 group,62 cases received Gamma3 internal fixation system.In the joint replacement group,40 cases received an artificial femoral head replacement or total hip replacement.Surgical information,hospitalization,hip function,and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There were statistical differences between the Gamma3 group and the joint replacement group in weight-bearing time(P＜0.001),hospital stay(P＜0.05),intraoperative bleeding(P＜0.001),and length of surgery(P＜0.001).The mean weight-bearing time and hospital stay were shorter in the joint replacement group than in the Gamma3 group.Intraoperative bleeding and duration of surgery were better in the Gamma3 group than in the joint replacement group.(2)There was no significant difference in Harris hip score,subitem centesimal hip score,and postoperative complications 12 months after surgery in both groups(P=0.526,0.788,0.228).(3)It is indicated that arthroplasty has achieved better outcomes in the treatment of elderly unstable intertrochanteric fractures combined with osteoporosis,enabling early weight bearing and functional exercise.Careful selection of the appropriate patient and prosthesis type for arthroplasty will result in greater patient benefit.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness and safety of endovascular therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion with early neurological deterioration (END).Methods:Patients with AIS due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion with END underwent endovascular therapy under the multimodal imaging guidance in the Department of Neurology, Huai'an First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from June 2019 to April 2023 were collected retrospectively. The modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) grading was used to evaluate the vascular recanalization, and grade 2b or 3 was defined as successful recanalization. At 90 days after onset, the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the functional outcome, and 0-2 was defined as a good outcome. The patients with onset to femoral artery puncture time ≤24 hours and >24 hours were compared.Results:A total of 19 patients were enrolled, including 13 males, aged 61.16±11.75 years. The median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 4 (interquartile range, 2-5), and the median NIHSS score at END was 13 (interquartile range, 10-20). Twelve patients (63.2%) received intravenous thrombolysis before END. Median baseline Alberta Stroke Project Early CT Score (ASPECTS) was 8 (interquartile range, 7-9); 18 patients (94.7%) achieved successful recanalization, and 2 (10.5%) experienced symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). At 90 days after onset, the mRS scores: 0-2 in 12 cases (63.2%), 3 in 4 cases (21.1%), 5 in 1 case (5.2%), and 6 (death) in 2 cases (10.5%). There were 10 patients (52.6%) in the group with onset time to femoral artery puncture ≤24 hours, and 9 patients (47.4%) in the group with onset time >24 hours. There was significant difference between the two groups only in the ASPECTS ( P=0.035), but there were no significant differences in the postprocedural recanalization rate, sICH incidence rate, and good outcome rate at 90 days. Conclusion:Endovascular therapy under the guidance of multimodal imaging is safe and feasible for AIS patients with END due to anterior circulation occlusion.

Objective To explore the role of serum leucine-rich-alpha-2-glycoprotein1(LRG1),neopterin(NPT)and virus antibodies during the progression of viral meningitis(VM)and their value in evaluating the condition and predicting the prognosis of VM in children.Methods A total of 130 pediatric patients with VM admitted to Kaifeng Children's Hospital from August 2020 to February 2023 were selected as the observation group,and at the same time,another 130 pediatric patients with VM symptoms who were diagnosed as non central nervous system infectious diseases by lumbar puncture cerebrospinal fluid examination were selected as the control group.After admission,2 mL peripheral venous blood of children in the two groups was collected,and the levels of serum LRG1 and NPT were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Before treatment,1 mL cerebrospinal fluid sample of children in the two groups was collected by lumbar puncture,and the host specific immuno-globulin G(IgG)against herpes simplex virus-I(HSV-I),cytomegalovirus(CMV),Epstein-Barr virus(EBV),and parain-fluenza virus(PIV)in cerebrospinal fluid was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The levels of serum LRG1 and NPT,as well as the positive rate of virus antibody IgG were compared between the two groups.The VM children were then divided into the severe group(n=54)and mild group(n=76)according to the disease severity,and they were divided into the good prognosis group(n=37)and poor prognosis group(n=93)based on the prognosis.The levels of serum IRG1 and NPT and the positive rate of virus antibody IgG were compared in children with different disease severity and prognosis.The correlation of serum LRG1,NPT and virus antibody with the disease severity or disease progression for pediatric VM was analyzed,and their interactive effects on the disease progression of children with VM were analyzed.The predictive value of serum LRG1,NPT and virus antibody for pediatric VM outcome was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The levels of serum LRG1 and NPT,as well as the positive rate of virus antibody IgG of children in the obser-vation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05);the levels of serum LRG1 and NPT,as well as the positive rate of virus antibody IgG of children in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the mild group(P＜0.05);the levels of serum LRG1 and NPT,as well as the positive rate of virus antibody IgG of children in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the good prognosis group(P＜0.05).High level of serum LRG1 with high positive rate of virus antibody IgG and high level of serum NPT with high positive rate of virus antibody IgG showed positive interactions in leading to poor prognosis in children with VM odds ratio(OR)=15.238,9.684).The submultiplicative models were applied for the high levels of serum LRG1 with high positive rate of virus antibody IgG(OR=15.238)and high levels of serum NPT with high positive rate of virus antibody IgG(OR=9.684).The area under the curve(AUC)for predicting poor prognosis in children with VM after 2 weeks of treatment by serum LRG1,NPT and virus antibody IgG were 0.786,0.794 and 0.919,respectively,and the AUC for the combined prediction of the three was 0.933;the AUC of LRG1,NPT and positive rate of virus antibody IgG for predicting poor prognosis in children with VM after 2 weeks of treatment was greater than that of the three alone(P＜0.05).Conclusion NPT and LRG1 may be involved in the development of VM.The levels of serum LRG1 and NPT are positively correlated with the severity and progression of VM.The levels of serum NPT and LRG1 and the positive rate of virus antibody IgG have certain value in the disease evaluation and prognosis prediction of VM,and the combination of the three has a higher predictive value for the prognosis of VM.There is a positive interaction between high LRG1 with high positive rate of virus antibody IgG,and high NPT with high positive rate of virus antibody IgG in children with VM.

The authors introduce the experiences in construction of the discipline of wound repair in Zibo city, in order to provide some references for the grass-roots counterparts.

Objective:To examine the short-term outcomes of modified load-sharing rip-stop repair (mLSRS) and suture-bridge repair (SB) for large rotator cuff tear.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy for large rotator cuff repair at Department of Orthopedic, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences Wang Jing Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were collected. Totally 111 patients (39 in mLSRS group and 72 in SB group) were included in the study. There were 45 males and 66 females, aged (58.0±6.9)years (range: 40 to 72 years).A total of 39 pairs of patients were successfully matched by propensity score matching. The pain of shoulder joint was assessed by visual analogy score (VAS) , the shoulder function was assessed by Constant-Murley score, the abduction strength of bilateral shoulder joint was assessed by 90? force assessment method of upper limb on the plane of scapula, and the healing of rotator cuff on the operative side was assessed by sugaya ultrasonic classification standard. The difference of short-term outcome between the two groups were compared using t test, χ 2 test, Mann-Whitney U test, repeated measures design anova and multivariate analysis of variance. Results:At the 4th week after surgery, the VAS of mLSRS group was significantly lower than SB group(1 (2) vs. 2 (2) , F=5.32, P=0.02). One year after surgery, Constant-Murley score of two groups were significantly higher than those before surgery, but there was no significant difference between two groups(89.1±5.7 vs. 87.6±7.3, t=1.00, P=0.32). Abductor strength of affected limbs were lower than that of the opposite side, but there were no statistically significant differences between two groups(4.28±1.61 vs. 4.54±1.64, t=-0.70, P=0.49). According to the Sugaya classification, 32 cases in mLSRS group were healed while 7 cases were not healed,30 cases in SB group were healed while 9 cases were not healed(χ 2=0.32, P=0.58). Conclusion:The use of mLSRS fixation construct on large rotator cuff tear can reduce pain and the short-term outcome is reliable.

Objective To observe the effects of three doses of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride on stress and myalgia in patients before conventional modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT).Methods Seventy-nine patients scheduled for the first time of MECT with schizophrenia,depression or mania patients,38 males and 41 females,aged 18-65 years,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomly divided into four groups.The patients received intravenous drip infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.4 μg/kg (group D1,n=20),0.7μg/kg (group D2,n=19),1.0 μg/kg (group D3,n=20) and saline 20 ml (group N,n =20) within 10 min before conventional MECT treatment.The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded before anesthesia (T0),drug pump (dexmedetomidine or saline) after 10 min (T1),30 s after MECT shock (T2) and 5 min after MECT shock (T3);the blood glucose and the concentration of serum cortisol (Cor) were recorded at T0 and T2;visual analogue scores (VAS) 30 min after electric shock (T1) and 6 h after shock (T5),the recovery time,recovery time of spontaneous breathing were also recorded.Results Compared with group N,the concentration of Cor and MAP at T2 were decreased significantly,the HR was increased significantly in groups D1-D3;the blood glucose at T2 were decreased significantly in groups D2,D3 (P＜0.05).The degree in group D3 was larger than that in group D2,and the degree in group D2 was larger than that in group D1 (P＜0.05).Compared with group N,the VAS score at T5 were decreased significantly in groups D1-D3;the recovery time was prolonged significantly in groups D2,D3.The degree in group D3 was larger than that in group D2,and the degree in group D2 was larger than that in group D1 (P＜0.05).The spontaneous breathing recovery time had no difference in three groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine pretreatment before modified electroconvulsive therapy can dose-dependently reduce stress response and treatment related myalgia and prolong the recovery time.

Objective To explore the effect of sucralfate on cytokines in rats with paraquat (PQ) poisoning. Methods Seventy-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into PQ model group, sodium bicarbonate intervention group (SB group) and sucralfate suspension gel group (LTL group), with 24 rats in each group. The rat model of PQ poisoning was reproduced by one-time intragastric administration of PQ solution 25 mg/kg. The rats in SB group and LTL group were intragastricly administrated with 5 mL·kg-1·d-1of 100 g/L sodium bicarbonate or 200 g/L sucralfate at 2 hours after exposing to PQ, and the rats in PQ model group were given the same amount of sterile saline. The abdominal aortic blood of rats was collected at 1, 3, 6, and 10 days after PQ poisoning, and the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The left lung tissue was harvested, and lung wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio was assessed. Results With prolonged exposure, lung W/D ratios in all the groups were increased gradually, reached the peak at 10 days, but in the SB group and LTL group, the amplitude of increase was obviously reduced, the ratios were significantly decreased at 6 days and 10 days as compared with those in PQ model group (SB group vs. PQ model group: 4.99±0.79 vs. 6.98±0.86 at 6 days, 5.61±0.36 vs. 7.36±0.95 at 10 days; LTL group vs. PQ model group: 4.61±0.24 vs. 6.98±0.86 at 6 days, 4.24±0.20 vs. 7.36±0.95 at 10 days, all P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between SB group and LTL group (all P > 0.05). After PQ poisoning, the levels of TNF-α, IL-10 and TGF-β1 were elevated, and reached the peak at 3 days and then decreased gradually. Compared with the PQ model group, serum TNF-α, IL-10 and TGF-β1 levels in SB group and LTL group were decreased significantly [SB group vs. PQ model group: 3-day TNF-α (ng/L) was 147.6±12.3 vs. 168.2±11.3, 3-day IL-10 (ng/L) was 65.4±3.2 vs. 115.1±9.2, 3-day TGF-β1 (ng/L) was 356.3±50.3 vs. 415.6±68.3; LTL group vs. PQ model group: 3-day TNF-α (ng/L) was 82.2±7.4 vs. 168.2±11.3, 3-day IL-10 (ng/L) was 44.4±5.2 vs.115.1±9.2, 3-day TGF-β1 (ng/L) was 296.3±40.2 vs. 415.6±68.3, all P < 0.05], especially in LTL group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Early gastrointestinal lavage with sucralfate could effectively reduce the inflammatory exudation in lung tissue after PQ poisoning, and inhibit the cytokine secretion.
