BACKGROUND:The more vertical the femoral neck fracture line,the more shear force the femoral neck fracture may bear,so it may be prone to internal fixation failure,nonunion,or necrosis of the femoral head.At present,there is controversy as to which hollow nail fixation mode is ideal. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate different configurations and numbers of cannulated screw configurations to learn more about the biomechanical differences in vertical fractures of the femoral neck using finite element analysis. METHODS:Femoral CT data were collected from a 24-year-old healthy male volunteer and imported into Mimics software to build a three-dimensional geometric model of the femur.Model refinement and surface fitting processing were carried out in Geomagic software and imported into SolidWorks software to establish a vertical fracture model of the femoral neck.Six cannulated screw models were established,including three triangle configuration,three inverted triangle configuration,three double-plane double-support configuration(F scheme),three transverse configuration,four diamond configuration and four Alpha configuration.The peak stress,strain and displacement of internal fixation and femoral fracture models under different loads(350,700,1 400,and 2 100 N)were compared among different configurations. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Under four kinds of loads,screw stress conditions were as follows:biplanar double-supported configuration(F scheme)>transverse configuration>inverted triangle configuration>positive triangular configuration>Alpha configuration>rhombus configuration.The peak value of Von mises stress was concentrated in the screw close to the fracture line.(2)Under four kinds of loads,the screw displacement was Alpha configuration>inverted triangle configuration>positive triangular configuration>biplanar double-supported configuration(F scheme)>rhombus configuration>transverse configuration,and the peak displacement was mainly concentrated on the hollow screw head.(3)Under four kinds of loads,the stress conditions of the proximal femoral bone block were biplanar double-supported configuration(F scheme)>transverse configuration>inverted triangle configuration>Alpha configuration>positive triangular configuration>rhombus configuration,and the stress peak mainly concentrated in the lower neck of femur.(4)Under 350 N load,the displacement of the proximal femur bone block was transverse configuration>biplanar double-supported configuration(F scheme)>positive triangular configuration>Alpha configuration>inverted triangle configuration>rhombus configuration.In the other three loads,the peak displacement of the inverted triangle configuration was smaller than that of the rhombus configuration.The peak displacement was mainly concentrated in the head.(5)The rhombus configuration was the most dispersed in the stress distribution of the proximal femoral bone.The rhombus configuration was the smallest in the peak displacement of the femur.The stress,displacement and peak displacement of the fracture end of each internal fixed model increased gradually with the increase of load.(6)The biomechanical performance of the four diamond-shaped models in the internal fixation of vertical femoral neck fractures is better than that of other groups of models.The four rhomboid models have stable fixation,small displacement value of fracture end and dispersed stress,which can help resist shear force and prevent varus collapse and create a good mechanical environment for fracture healing.

This article reported a case of primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency caused by a variation in the COQ4 gene. On the first day after birth, the neonate exhibited unexplained feeding difficulties, intermittent cyanosis, and respiratory and circulatory failure. Similar symptoms were observed in his sister, who passed away on the 9th day after birth but no pathogenic variant was detected in whole exome sequencing. After a pathogenic homozygous variant of COQ4 gene c.370G>A was detected in this patient using whole exome sequencing, his sister's result of whole exome sequencing was got and the same variant was found (identified as uncertain significance at that time), and both parents carried a heterozygous variant of c.370G>A. Supplement with clinical manifestations, the infant was diagnosed with coenzyme Q10 deficiency. The infant received respiratory and circulatory support, and after oral supplement of coenzyme Q10, the symptoms were improved. Subsequent follow-up examinations showed that the child had developed epilepsy and psychomotor retardation at about the age of one.

OBJECTIVE@#To assess the association of polymorphisms of receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE) gene, monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) and variability of heart rate among patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).@*METHODS@#120 patients with CHD and 120 healthy individuals were respectively selected as the observation group and the control group. Allelic and genotypic differences of -429T>C, 1704G>T, 82G>S, MHR ratio and heart rate variability between the two groups and patients with different severity were analyzed. The correlation between their genotypes and MHR ratio and heart rate variability was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The 82G>S polymorphism of the RAGE gene and the allelic difference between the two groups and patients with different severity were statistically significant (P< 0.05). Compared with the control group and patients with mild to moderate phenotype, monocyte, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein, MHR, low frequency in the observation group and patients with severe symptoms were significantly higher, while their high density lipoprotein, standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), standard deviation average of NN intervals (SDANN), root mean square successive differences, percentage of differences exceeding 50ms between adjacent normal number of intervals (PMN50), high frequency (HF) were significantly lower. The gene frequencies of G-Gly-T, T-Gly-T, G-Ser-T and G-Gly-C were correlated with SDNN, SDANN, rMSSD, PMN50, HF and MHR, but negatively correlated with low frequency.@*CONCLUSION@#Polymorphisms of the RAGE gene in patients with coronary heart disease are associated with the MHR ratio and heart rate variability, which can be used as markers for the diagnosis and efficacy evaluation.

Objective@#To evaluate the outcomes of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients who received HLA-matched sibling donor allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (MSD-PBSCT) .@*Methods@#The clinical data of 138 MDS patients received MSD-PBSCT from Sep. 2005 to Dec. 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, and the overall survival (OS) rate, disease-free survival (DFS) rate, relapse rate (RR) , non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate and the related risk factors were explored.@*Results@#①After a median follow-up of 1 050 (range 4 to 4 988) days, the 3-year OS and DFS rates were (66.6±4.1) % and (63.3±4.1) %, respectively. The 3-year cumulative incidence of RR and NRM rates were (13.9±0.1) % and (22.2±0.1) %, respectively. ②Univariate analysis showed that patients with grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) or hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index (HCT-CI) ≥2 points or patients in very high-risk group of the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) had significantly decreased OS[ (42.9±13.2) %vs (72.9±4.2) %, χ2=8.620, P=0.003; (53.3±7.6) %vs (72.6±4.7) %, χ2=6.681, P=0.010; (53.8±6.8) %vs (76.6±6.2) %vs (73.3±7.7) %, χ2=6.337, P=0.042]. For MDS patients with excess blasts-2 (MDS-EB2) and acute myeloid leukemia patients derived from MDS (MDS-AML) , pre-transplant chemotherapy or hypomethylating agents (HMA) therapy could not improve the OS rate[ (60.4±7.8) %vs (59.2±9.6) %, χ2=0.042, P=0.838]. ③Multivariate analysis indicated that the HCT-CI was an independent risk factor for OS and DFS (P=0.012, HR=2.108, 95%CI 1.174-3.785; P=0.008, HR=2.128, 95%CI 1.219-3.712) .@*Conclusions@#HCT-CI was better than the IPSS-R in predicting the outcomes after transplantation. The occurrence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD is a poor prognostic factor for OS. For patients of MDS-EB2 and MDS-AML, immediate transplantation was recommended instead of receiving pre-transplant chemotherapy or HMA therapy.

Objective@#To investigate the effects of donor-specific HLA antibodies(DSA) for graft failure in un-manipulated haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(haplo-HSCT) and the feasible treatment for DSA.@*Methods@#HLA antibodies were examined using the Luminex-based single Ag assay for 92 patients who were going on haplo-SCT and the correlations of graft failure and DSA among the patients who had finished SCT were analyzed.@*Results@#Of the total 92 patients who were going on haplo-HSCT, sixteen (17.4%) patients were HLA Ab-positive, including six (6.5%) patients with antibodies corresponding to donor HLA Ags (DSA-positive). Among the patients who had finished the haplo-HSCT with conventional myeloablative conditioning regimen, the engraftment rate was significantly higher in DSA (-) patients than that in DSA (+) patients [92.3% (24/26) vs 25.0%(1/4), χ2=8.433, P=0.004] and DSA was the only factor relevant with graft failure in multiple-factor analysis [OR=12.0(95% CI 1.39-103.5), P=0.024]. Strategies to decrease antibody levels were taken for 4 patients, two were their first transplantations, and the other two patients were their second haplo-HSCT. Three of the four patients were HLA-I-DSA positive and had gained donor engraftment by means of donor platelet transfusions to decreased the level of DSA, the fourth patient with both HLA-I and HLA-II DSA also gained engraftment with the treatments of TBI, rituximab and donor platelet transfusion.@*Conclusion@#DSA is one of the key factors of graft failure in haplo-HSCT. Donors should be selected on the basis of an evaluation of HLA antibodies before transplantation. If haplo-HSCT from donors with DSA must be performed, then recipients should be treated for DSA to improve the chances of successful engraftment.

Objective To improve the recognition of therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML). Methods One patient who was diagnosed as AML with inv (16) following treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) was reported. The pathomechanism, diagnosis, treatments and prognosis of t-AML were systematically studied by reviewing a series of literature. Results A 36-year-old female with a history of HL 2 years ago was diagnosed t-AML. Karyotype analysis demonstrated inv (16) and the fusion gene of CBFβ/MYH11 was positive by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The fusion gene of CBFβ/MYH11 was still positive after receiving 3 courses of chemotherapy. The leukemia reached completely molecular biological remission after receiving haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. The patient has now survived 1.5 years with leukemia free and in a good performance. Conclusions The t-AML is difficult to treat, but it is heterogeneous. Cytogenetics and molecular biology have important implications for the prognosis of t-AML. Currently, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only effective way to cure t-AML.

Objective To improve diagnosis on esophageal tuberculosis by the endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS).Methods A retrospective analysis of 9 cases of esophageal tuberculosis patients diagnosed by EUS or EUS guided ifne needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) who were treated from 2011 to 2016 and literature reviewed.Results The main presenting symptoms were dysphagia (6 cases), burning pain after sternum (3 cases), low-grade fever and night sweat (2 cases), cough and hemoptysis (1 case). The middle esophagus was involved in 7 cases, upper and lower third of the esophagus were affected in 1 cases. The endoscopic appearances included ulcer (1 case), mass lesion (8 cases). The diagnoses were conifrmed by biopsies with pathology in 5 cases. The layers of the esophageal wall were unclear or disappeared in some cases, and in some patients low echo occupying lesions inside or outside the esophageal wall were showed by EUS. The internal echo of the lesions was heterogeneous, and strong echo spots could be observed. In most cases, enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes were observed. EUS-FNA was used to take biopsy specimens in 2 cases: biopsy specimens suggested tuberculosis; and anti-TB treatment has good effect as well.Conclusion Dysphagia is the major clinical symptom of esophageal tuberculosis, always inlfuences the middle part of the esophagus. The commonest abnormalities identiifed by endoscopy are ulceration and mass lesion. The diagnostic rate of the disease can be improved by endoscopic examination with biopsies, EUS and EUSFNA data.

BACKGROUND:The mechanical characteristics of intramedul ary and intramedul ary fixations for treating intertrochanteric fracture were hot research of finite element, but there was few comparative research on tension side and pressure side of proximal femur. In our study, we found that the distribution of the stress zone was important indication to researches on intertrochanteric fracture and internal fixation design. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of intramedul ary and extramedul ary fixations for treating intertrochanteric fracture on pressure side and tensile side of proximal femur. METHODS:CT scan and Mimics modeling of volunteer’s femur were conducted, and the model Evans type I intertrochanteric fracture was constructed and treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation and dynamic hip screw respectively. The stress condition of proximal femur in weight status was simulated. The Abaqus 6.13 was used for finite element analysis, and the tension side and pressure side of proximal femur in both fixations were also analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The stresses of compressive side and tensile side in proximal femoral nail antirotation group were both less than that in dynamic hip screw group. The stress of proximal femur in proximal femoral nail antirotation group was more similar to that in physiological status. (2) These findings verified that for treating intertrochanteric fracture, intramedul ary fixation exerted better mechanical behavior than extramedul ary fixation. The protection of compressive side and tensile side of proximal femur had achieved by intramedul ary fixation.

Telomere maintenance plays a critical role in cancer progression.Approximately 85% human cancer cells maintain their telomere length through activation of telomerase.Other 15%of cancers maintain telomere length independently of telom-erase by alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT)pathway. Both events are equally important for telomere length mainte-nance of cancer cells.Human telomere consists of a series of G rich DNA sequences,which could form G-quadruplex.The for-mation of this structure can block the extension of telomeres by telomerase or ALT,resulting in cancer cell death.Thereby,G-quadruplex has been one of the focuses of anticancer therapy in recent years.This review focuses on the latest progress of G-quadruplex stabilizers.

BACKGROUND:Displacement of the distal fracture fragment is one of the most important facts that lead to cubitus varus fol owing pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture. Mainstream technique emphasized the restoration of posterior-ulnar deviation of the distal fragment. However, there is an absence of supportive evidences from biomechanical studies. OBJECTIVE:To establish models of extension-ulnar type of supracondylar humeral fracture and investigate the mechanical stability of reduced fracture with residual displacements within functional restoration standard, so as to provide mechanic evidences supporting the empirical rule of manipulative reduction-“better anterior than posterior, better radial than ulnar”. METHODS:The fresh cadaveric bone of right upper extremity from a 7-year-old child was scanned using CT. Models of supracondylar humeral fracture differing in contact area of the fracture site and displacement direction of the distal fragment were established and underwent loading tests. Stress in both anterior and posterior margin of the fracture site and Baumann angle were recorded, and data were analyzed and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In comparison of stress in the posterior margin, the value was significantly greater in the posteromedial-displacement group than the others. Stress value in fracture with 75%contact area was significantly greater than the other three groups. In comparison of stress in the anterior margin, a significantly greater value was obtained in the posteromedial-displaced group. Stress value in fracture with 85%contact area was significantly greater. When comparing stress in posterior margin and anterior margin, the absolute increment of stress value was greater in posterior displacement group than in anterior displacement group. Baumann angle increased significantly when fragment displaced medial y. Above findings indicated that displacement direction altered the location of stress concentration. Stress augmentation was greater in posterior displacement group. Stress in related area significantly increased constantly when contact area of the fracture site reduced. Baumann changed obviously when fragment displaced medial y. The results preliminarily verify the hypothesis that displacement of the distal fragment was the main contributor to cubitus varus fol owing supracondylar humeral fracture. These findings provided certain evidences supporting the empirical rule“better anterior than posterior, better radial and ulnar”.

Objective To compare the efficacy of small splint fixation and plaster fixation in treating distal radius fracture. Methods One hundred and four cases of type A2 distal radius fracture admitted from January of 2012 to May of 2013 were randomly divided into small splint fixation group and plaster fixation group. After reduction, patients in the two groups were fixed with small splint and plaster separately. Wrist function scores, 36-item Short Form ( SF-36) scores and roentgenographic scores were evaluated for the two groups at different time points. Results ( 1) Within 3 months of follow up, the improvement of wrist function in small splint fixation group was significantly superior to that in plaster fixation group (P0.05). (2) SF-36 scores of the two groups were gradually increased along with the follow up. After follow-up for one week, 2 weeks, one month and 3 months, the SF-36 scores in small splint fixation group were significantly higher than that in plaster fixation group ( P0.05). ( 3) After follow up for one year, the excellent rate for roentgenographic scores was higher than 80% in both groups, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both small splint fixation and plaster fixation have satisfacory efficacy in treating type A2 distal radius fracture. But during the therapeutic process, wrist function scores and life quality scores in the small splint fixation group were higher than those in the plaster fixation group.

Thyroid-like papillary adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare neoplasm in the nasopharynx. We present a case with a pedunculated tumor in the nasopharyngeal vault. Complete tumor resection via nasal endoscopy was performed subsequently. Postoperative histopathological examinations and immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis of thyroid-like papillary adenocarcinoma. This rare neoplasm demonstrated a distinct etiology and nature from typical nasopharyngeal carcinomas and should be managed mainly by surgical resection.

Objective To investigate the method for effective establishment of nude rat tumor xenograft model of human lung cancer cells A549 in order to provide the experimental basis for tumor-related interventional research in vivo. Methods A549 cell lines were subcutaneously transplanted in nude rats, then single-cell suspension or tumor tissue block were prepared when the tumor lesion was established. The single-cell suspension and tumor tissue block were transplanted into subcutaneous tissue behind ear in rats. The tumor formation rate, growth situation and cell cycle of primary xenograft tumor group, the secondary single-cell suspension group and the secondary tumor block group were evaluated. The results were analyzed. Results The tumor formation rate of the secondary tumor block group was significantly higher than that of the other two groups. The tumor cells quickly proliferated with less tumor variation. Tumor cell cycle analysis indicated that G2/M ratio of the secondary tumor block group was remarkably higher than that of the other two groups. Conclusion Transplantation with tumor tissue block can significantly increase the tumor formation rate of human lung cancer cells A549 in experimental rats. This technique is an effective method for the establishment of nude rat tumor xenograft model.
