Objective: To compare clinical efficacy between anatomical locking plate (ALP) and ordinary steel plate (OSP) in treating closed calcaneal fractures with SandersⅡ and Ⅲ.

Methods: From May 2016 to May 2018, 68 patients with closed Sanders typeⅡ and Ⅲ calcaneal fractures were retrospectively analyzed, and were divided into anatomical locking plate group (ALP group) and ordinary steel plate group (OSP group) according to two kinds of plate fixation, and 34 patients in each group. In ALP group, there were 21 males and 13 females aged from 20 to 63 years old with average of (35.

Conventional radiotherapy has a good killing effect on femoral echinococcosis. However, the sciatic nerve around the lesion is irreversibly damaged owing to bystander effects. Although intensity-modulated radiation therapy shows great advantages for precise dose distribution into lesions, it is unknown whether intensity-modulated radiation therapy can perfectly protect the surrounding sciatic nerve on the basis of good killing of femoral echinococcosis foci.

Article Synopsis
  • Heterakis gallinarum is a common parasitic nematode in poultry, and a study was conducted in Sichuan to analyze its genetic diversity using the complete mitochondrial cox2 gene from 59 isolates.
  • The research found that all cox2 genes were 696 bp long, containing 34 variable sites and were categorized into 23 different haplotypes, with some key genetic metrics indicating moderate diversity.
  • Results showed frequent gene flow between populations and a star-like topology in haplotype distribution, suggesting a past population expansion of H. gallinarum, marking it as the first study of its kind focusing on its population genetics through mitochondrial analysis.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effects and safety of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for the senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Methods: From December 2004 to June 2008, 28 patients (40 vertebrae) with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP group), there were 11 males (14 vertebrae) and 17 females (26 vertebrae), with an average age of 72 years (ranged, 70 to 91 years). The fracture site of vertebral body was from T5 to L5.
