RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect and short-term and long-term effect of total hip replacement (THA) and hemiarthroplasty of hip (HA) in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture (FNF).Methods:59 elderly patients with FNF in South District of Guang′anmen Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2017 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The observation group ( n=29) was treated with THA; The control group ( n=30) was treated with HA. The operation related indexes, short-term and long-term clinical effect (average follow-up of 24.1 months), hip function improvement, pain and complications were compared between the two groups. Short term and long-term clinical effects: the short-term and long-term clinical effects of the two groups were observed by the Harris Hip Score (HHS) of the first month, the third month, the sixth month, the ninth month and the first year after operation. Results:Both THA and HA were effective on elderly FNF, but the effective rate of THA (96.6%) was significantly higher than that of HA (90.0%), with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05); in terms of operation related indicators, compared with the control group, the observation group had longer operation time [ (104.46±3.24)min vs (84.34±3.64)min], more amount of bleeding [(296.64±15.16)ml vs (281.44±12.16)ml], lower postoperative drainage volume [(101.24±4.15)ml vs (74.56±3.24)ml], while the functional recovery of the observation group was better than the control group by HHS ( P<0.05); the postoperative complications and HHS score of observation group were significantly lower than the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:THA has the advantages of low complication, fast functional recovery and better effect. The clinical decision should be based on the patient′s physical condition. THA should be used for elderly patients with good basic condition, good surgical tolerance and more daily activities. HA should be used for elderly patients with poor basic condition, low surgical tolerance and less daily activities.
RESUMO
Objective To develop a time-resolved fluorescent microspheres immunochromatographic assay (TRFMIA) for detection of alphafetoprotein (AFP) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in human serum and to evaluate its performance.Methods The Eu-time-resolved fluorescent polystyrene particles conjugated with monoclonal antibody AC18# for AFP and AE03# for CEA were used as fluorescent labels.The monoclonal antibody AC17# for AFP,AE05# for CEA and goat anti-rabbit antibody were immobilized on the nitrocellulose membrane as the test lines and control line.Several performances indicators were measured,including linear range,detection limit,and specificity.AFP and CEA were measured by the new method and the results were compared with those obtained by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) and electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) using linear correlation analysis.Results The measurement ranges of AFP were 0.07-1 000.00 kU/L with the intra-and inter-assay CV of 5.93% and 11.07%,and those of CEA were 0.12-500.O0 μg/L with the intra-and inter-assay CV of 7.53% and 12.13% respectively.The average recovery rate of AFP and CEA was 92.77% and 94.73%,respectively.Measurements obtained by TRFMIA had strong correlation coefficients ranging from 0.93 to 0.97 when compared with those obtained by TRFIA and ECLIA.Conclusion TRFMIA,which can simultaneously detect AFP and CEA,has been successfully established.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the exposure level to vehicle exhaust pollution for population by different commuting modes in roadside environment in Wuhan. Methods Eight air monitoring sites were selected in the six main roads in urban area of Wuhan, Hubei province. The concentrations of NO2, CO, total hydro carbon (THC), PM10, benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX) emitted from the vehicles were monitored and analyzed in winter and summer of 2007, respectively and combined with breathing rate and time spent of the population in traffic environments, exposure doses of different subpopulation were calculated as indicators in order to evaluate their exposure level to traffic exhaust. Results The PM10 was the primary pollutant on the roadside. Compared with the Ambient Air Quality Standard, the rate of exceeding standard limit for PM10 was 8% in summer and 100% in winter. As for on the roadside, the exposure level for adults was higher than that for the children (P
RESUMO
Intake fraction is a new concept applied in assessing human health effect of pollutants. In the present paper, the history and practical use of it were reviewed, and then the calculation of it was also analyzed. After illustrating and discussing previous approaches for estimating intake fraction, the calculation can be classified into two sorts: one is taking the spatial area as the object, and the other is taking the people as the object. The latter is more fitful to estimate the intake fraction of mobile emission, in which it is necessary to investigate the related population and then combine the time-activity patterns with the microenvironment concentrations, in addition, modeling microenvironmental concentrations is critical for the calculation of intake fraction.
