ABSTRACT
[Objective] To evaluate the clinical efficacy of treatment of humeral shaft fracture with revolving intramedullary nails.[Method]Sixty-two cases with fracture of hume ral shaft were treated by revolving intramedullary nails between January 2000 and February 2006.Their were 38 male cases and 24 female cases.Their average age was 36.9(ranged 20～58).Fifty-fous cases were closed fractures,and eight cases were opened.Sixty-two cases with fracture of humeral shaft according to AO classification,41 cases were type A,15 cases were type B,6 cases were type C.Sixty-two patients with the humeral shaft fracture were treated with limited open reduction and minimally invasive internal fixation with revolving intramedullary nails.Scientific and rational rehabilitative treatment was carried out in each case after the operation.All patients were follow-up between 14 months and 30 months.The average follow-up period was 24 months.[Result]The fracture union occurred in sixty-two patients.The average healing time was 15 weeks.According to Rodriquez-Merchang shoulder functional score system,the excellent result was achieved in 36 patients,good in 20 and fair in 6.The excellent and good rate was 90.3%.All cases got good function recovery.The effects were satisfactory.There were no complications in all cases,such as infection,iatrogenic fracture,shortening,break of nail,fat embolism syndrome and peripheral nerve injury.[Conclusion]Revolving intramedullary nails for treatment of humeral shaft fracture is effective with litter interference with the blood supply of the bone fracture and with stable immobilization.Due to the abutment of the longitudinal bars along the entire length of the medullary canal wall,highly resistant to the rotational strength was achieved.The advances of revolving intramedullary nails are convenient in operative procedure with little invasive of operation,early function exercise,high raito of fracture healing and safety compared with the normal operative therapy.The operation indication and timing should be controlled strictly.The manipulation should be familiar.This kind of treatment is worth to be recommended.
ABSTRACT
[Objective]To investigate the treating effect of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures with lateral supporting plate and compression screw system.[Method]Forty-six cases of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures were treated with internal fixation from the year of 2000 to 2004 in our hospital.All of them were treated with open reduction and internal fixation by lateral supporting plata and compression screw system.Orthopaedic evaluation at latest follow-up included a knee functional outcome and radiographic examination.[Result]Forty-six cases were followed up for 12 to 18 months(averaged,14.4 months).All fractures healed.According to Rasmussen scale,84.8% excellent and good results were obtained.[Conclusion]Most of all bicondylar tibial plateau fractures were stabilized by applying lateral supporting plate and compression screw system.This system help reduce complication rates resulting from open reduction and internal fixation.
ABSTRACT
This study inquired about the influences on the gene delivery efficiency of polyethylenimine. pSVbeta plasmids were transferred into COS-7 and NIH3T3 cells with polyethylenimine. Influences of plasmids factor, albumin, serum, cell density, operation methods and polyethylenimine/DNA preserve factors on transfection efficiency were investigated. Inhibitors of biological activities in plasmids could be removed by ultrafiltration with cutoff molecular weight of 3000 or 10000. Linear plasmids lowered transfection efficiency. Serum and albumin in the culture medium decreased the transfection efficiency of polyethylenimine/DNA. Cell density was associated with PEI/DNA transfection efficiency. Incubation of PEI/DNA complexes with the cells for 8 h and then aspiration for removal of the complexes could obtain an optimal transfection effect. Freezing of PEI/DNA complexes significantly decreased transfection efficiency. In conclusion, polyethylenimine could obtain optimal and reduplicate transfection results by controlling related factors.
