ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the clinical threatment results of pilon fractures managed with arthroscopyassisted minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO).Methods 33 patients with pilon fractures were classified into 3 groups according to the Ruedi-Allgower classification:type Ⅰ in 26 cases,type Ⅱ in 5 cases,type Ⅲ in 2 cases,including 29 males and 4 females,aged 22 to 51 years,mean 31.5 years of age.All patients were treated with arthroscopy-assisted MIPPO with the postoperative follow-up time of 12 to 84 months.Results The clinical surgery efficacy according to Mazur's criterion was evaluated as excellent in 22 cases,good in 8 cases,fair in 3 cases.The excellent and good rate was 90.9％.Conclusion Arthroscopy-assisted MIPPO surgical treatment is an effective method for Pilon fractures with the advantages of good healing,minimal trauma and less complications,it is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
diabeticfoot ulcer of rats induced by streptozotosin,and to find the significance of free radical scavenging and the antioxidative function.MethodsA total of 60 male wistar rats were randomized into the control group (20 rats) and diabetic model group (40 rats).The model group was induced to diabetic foot ulcer using streptozotosin tail intravenous injection,and the control group was injected equal citric acid-citric acid sodium buffer fluid instead.A rectangular full-thickness skin of dorsum of foot in the two groups was removed from model rats to construct diabetic foot ulcer.Serum zinc levels of the two groups were monitored,and immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the MT expression.ResultsSerum zinc levels in the model group( 1.17 ±0.09) was significantly lower than control group( 1.48 ±0.07),and the difference was statistically significant ( t =12.94,P ＜0.01 ).The MT expression in control group was low,while it significantly increased in diabetic model group,and the difference was statistically significant ( x2 =12.78,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsThe zinc levels and MT expression of diabetic foot ulcer rats may be associated with free radical scavenging and the antioxidative function.The increased expression of MT may play an important role in preventing the further development of diabetic foot ulcer disease.
