ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of artificial femoral head replacement surgery in the treatment of elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture.MethodsThere were 120 cases with intertrochanteric fracture according to the different surgical procedures,they were divided into the observation group with 60 cases and the control group of 60 cases.The observation group were taken hemiarthroplasty.The control group were taken dynamic hip fixation.The situations for the two groups of patients after surgery were compared.ResultsThe observation group:the blood loss was (413.6 ± 125.2) ml,operative time was (65.2 ± 9.8 ) min,ambulation time was (5.9 ± 2.3 ) d,length of stay was ( 15.6 ± 2.6 ) d,complication rate was 11.7 ％.The control group:blood loss was (440.5 ± 126.3 ) ml,operative time was (81.2 ± 12.1 ) min,ambulation time was ( 16.4 ± 4.2) d,length of stay was (25.7 ± 3.1 ) d,complication rate was 33.3％.The blood loss,operative time was not different between two groups.The ambulation time,hospital stay,complication rate were significantly different.There were statistical significance ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThe hemiarthroplasty was safe,patients with weight-bearing take exercise early,and bed time was short,had less complications,and could achieve satisfied clinical results,it should be widely applied.
ABSTRACT
Second Generation sub-population HIV Surveillance was undertaken in Kashgar City and Shache County, Xinjiang, Peoples Republic of China between December 2003 and January 2004, targeting injecting and mixed method drug users and pregnant and postnatal women. The study aimed to determine the extent to which the epidemic is shifting from a concentrated stage to a more generalised epidemic. One hundred and forty two (142) exclusively injecting drug users (66) and mixed method drug users (injecting and non-injecting-76) participated in this survey. Eight hundred and two (802) pregnant and postnatal women participated in the survey. In Kashgar City and Shache County the serum prevalence of HIV amongst injecting drug users was 56.06%, for mixed method drug users 48.68% and 0.38% in pregnant women. In Shache County HIV infection rates were significantly lower in drug user groups and amongst pregnant and post-natal women, at 2.22% and 0% respectively. The behavioral survey indicated that 15% of injecting drug users have shared needles (however sero prevalence and knowledge in relation to access to clean needles and syringes suggests that this may not reflect the actual situation). Knowledge of prevention of transmission strategies (not sharing needles and condom utilisation) is similar between both groups at 60-70%. However it appears that this knowledge has not significantly impacted on behavior such as needle sharing and condom utilisation. In Kashgar City and Shache County there have been very few interventions to support HIV/AIDS prevention, care and control. The results from this survey will inform future directions and the development and implementation of targeted interventions including targeted information dissemination and harm reduction strategies. This survey was funded by the Xinjiang HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care Project, a bilateral project jointly implemented by the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of Australia.
