ABSTRACT
Objective To treat calcaneal fracture with plate fixation combined with 64-slice CT 3D reconstruction and to analyze the efficacy.Methods Totally 86 patients with Sanders Ⅲ and Ⅳ types of calcaneal fractures underwent surgical treatment,and 64-slice CT 3D reconstruction was used to record the length,height,width,Bohler angle and Gissane angle of calcaneus before and 1 d,2 d,3 d and 1 a after the treatment.Postoperative evaluation was executed based on AOFAS Ankle Hindfoot Scale.Results All the fractures healed,of which,there were 60 ones scored as excellence,19 ones in good condition and 7 ones in satisfactory condition with the excellence and goodness rate being 91.9％.Complications occurred in 4 patients,with 3 cases of delayed healing and one case of infection.Tbere were obviously differences between the lengths,heights,widths,Bohler angles and Gissane angles before and after the treatment,while the differences were not significant between the measured values 1 d and 1 a after the treatment.Conclusion 64-slice CT 3D reconstruction is an excellent clinical auxiliary tool,and is of great value for fracture typing,operational plan preparation,postoperative evaluation and late efficacy assessment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of reteplase(rPA)adminis-tration in treating acute deep venous thrombosis(ADVT)of lower extremity.Methods A total of 1 87 pa-tients with ADVT were randomly divided into two groups,with 85 patients in rapid intravenous dripping group and 1 02 patients in 24-hour venouspumping group.Their effects on limb swelling,thrombolysis,and complicationswere compared for analysis.Results The differences in the curative effectsof reducingswell-ingand thrombolysis effect between the two groups werenot significant(P >0.05).Thethrombolysis time in the 24-hour venouspumping group was shorter than that of the rapid intravenous dripping group [(4.76 ± 1 .56)days vs(6.56 ±0.83)days,P <0.05],indicating 24-hour venouspumping was more effective than rapid intravenous dripping.Complication incidence in the 24-hour venouspumping group was less than that of the rapid intravenous dripping group(3.90% vs 1 7.6%,P <0.05).Conclusion rPA is a goodvenous thrombolytic agentwith rapid effect in treating ADVT.The 24-hour venouspumping was more effective and safe than the rapid intravenous dripping.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Electron beam melting rapid prototyping technology, has the characteristic of shaping precisely and complexly, is a new type of rapid prototyping technology using metal powder. Now, it has shown unique advantages in the fields of aerospace, automotive and medical implant equipments. OBJECTIVE: To explore the properties of the product, the customization ability of orthopedic implants through electron beam melting rapid prototyping, especial y the ability of inducing bone ingrowth. METHODS:We retrieved PubMed Database, China Journal Ful-text Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, as wel as Dongfang Daily, World Science, and Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics by hand, and assembly documents in Chinese and English. Retrieval time was up to September 2013. Inclusion criteria: ① articles concerning electron beam melting rapid prototyping technology; ② articles addressing surgical implants. A total of 50 articles were included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Electron beam melting state Ti6Al4V orthopedic implant has a good comprehensive performance, since the three-dimensional porous structure via electron beam melting rapid prototyping, which has a characteristic of customization, can induce bone ingrowth.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the clinical diagnosis value of CT guided transthoracic core needle biopsy in patients with pathological changes.Methods The pathological diagnosis was performed after getting the tissue by the groovy needle punctured the lesion.Results The 165 patients included 153 focal pulmonary diseases and 12 diffuse pulmonary diseases,the defined pathological diagnostic rate was 92.1%,false negative rate was 3.9%,18.9%in malignant and benign pathological changes;and complication presented in 33.3%,pneumothorax,bleeding,hemoptysis and hypodermic haematoma were 17.0%,7.9%,7.3%and 1.2%,respectively.Conclusion The technique of pulmonary percutaneous biopsy under CT guided is a perfect method for qualitative diagnosis of difficult pulmonary pathological changes:it is of great clinical application.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To examine whether Akt signal pathway proteins, including Akt, NF-?B and I?B?, are activated in kidney tissue of murine chronic graft-versus -host disease (GvHD) lupus nephritis in vivo , and whether prednisone suppres ses activation of them. METHODS: Akt activity and phosphorylated I?B? were detected by Weste rn-blot. Activation of NF-?B was detected by electropheretic mobilit y shift assay (EMSA). RESULTS: Activity of Akt, NF-?B and phosp horylated I?B ? were significantly increased in kidney tissue of murine chronic graft-versus -ho st disease (GvHD) in 8th week and 12th week after monocell injection, respective ly. However, they were no significant elevation in 16th week, when compared with controls. Prednisone treatment significantly prevented the increase in serum an ti-dsDNA antibody level, urinary protein excretion and glomerular cell prolif eration in GvHD mice, indicating the beneficial effects of prednisone on t his model. Prednisone also significantly suppressed the increase in the activities o f glomerular Akt, NF-?B and phosphorylated I?B?. CONCLUSION: T his study provides t he first evidence of marked increase in glomerular Akt-NF-?B signal pathway act ivities in murine chronic graft-versus-host disease lupus nephritis. The benefic ial effect of prednisone on this lupus nephritis model may be partially mediated by the suppression of abnormal Akt- NF-?B activation.
