Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluates how effective the Radiographic Union Score for Hip (RUSH) is in assessing healing in subtrochanteric fractures, as timely identification of healing impacts clinical decisions.
  • The research analyzed X-ray films from 35 patients, with evaluations by six orthopedic trauma surgeons who scored the images using RUSH and then re-evaluated them after four weeks to assess consistency and agreement.
  • Results showed a moderate agreement among surgeons using subjective impressions for healing status, but a significant improvement in consistency using the RUSH scoring system, indicating that RUSH is a valuable tool for assessing fracture healing.

There is no consensus on the optimal treatment for mid-shaft clavicular fracture. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness of non-operative treatment, plate fixation, and intramedullary pin fixation in terms of the Constant-Murley Score (CMS) for treatment of mid-shaft clavicular fracture. Comprehensive search of the Embase, Cochrane Library and PubMed was conducted to retrieve relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Objective: To investigate the clinical outcomes of semicircular decompression in treating old thoracolumbar fractures and intractable neuropathic pain.

Methods: From September 2009 to September 2013, 21 patients with old thoracolumbar fracture and intractable neuropathic pain were treated with semicircular decompression. Among initial surgery, posterior pedicle screw fixation was used in these patients, with or without laminectomy.

The distribution characteristics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in runoff from the middle line source area of south-to-north water diversion project were studied. Five groups of artificial runoff fields were established to collect runoff based on the different types of land-use, the contents of 16 USEPA priority PAHs in the runoff were determined using GC/MS method. The results showed that the average concentrations of PAHs of the aqueous phase in the collected runoff samples of different land-use types decreased in the order:cultivated land (26.

The surface water and sediments from the Mengjin wetland were collected. After seperated and concentrated by solid phase extraction and Soxhlet extraction, twenty kinds of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in the samples from the Mengjin wetland were analyzed by gas chromatography. In the surface water, 7 kinds of OCPs (incluing alpha-HCH, beta-HCH, gamma-HCH, delta-HCH, 4,4-DDT, heptachor and aldrin) were detected, with the detected ratio of 4.
