Characteristics of collapsed tibial plateau fracture determines that the joint surface must remain anatomical reduction,line of force in tibial must exist and internal fixation must be strong. However, while renewing articular surface smoothness, surgeons have a lot of problems in dealing with bone defect under the joint surface. Current materials used for bone defect treatment include three categories: autologous bone, allograft bone and bone substitutes.

Objective: To screen and identify the relative protein expressed in the acute tractive spinal cord injury (TSCI) in rats.

Methods: Ten adult Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into Sham group and TSCI group, 5 rats in each group. Rats from Sham group and TSCI group at 1 day after surgery were sacrificed for harvesting T₁₃-L₂ spinal tissue specimens.

Objective: To study the effect of internal fixation performed at different times on therapeutic outcomes of Schatzker IV-VI tibial plateau fractures.

Methods: The clinical data of 42 cases of Schatzker IV-VI tibial plateau fractures treated in our department were analyzed retrospectively. Among these 42 patients, 21 received surgical treatment within 12 h after injury (Group I), the other 21 were first treated by traction or plaster fixation followed by a delayed internal fixation after soft tissue swelling subsided (Group II).

Background: Although many treatment methods have been developed, controversy exists regarding the optimal management of ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fractures. The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the results of long proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA-long) and various plate combinations in the treatment of ipsilateral basicervical femoral neck and shaft fractures.

Methods: Between January 2004 and May 2008, a total of 21 patients with ipsilateral basicervical femoral neck and shaft fractures were treated with PFNA-long or various plate combinations.

Objective: To investigate the change in distribution of pathogens and nosocomial antibiotic resistant Gram-negative Bacilli infection in intensive care units one month after an earthquake.

Methods: A retrospective survey on the distribution of nosocomial Gram-negative bacilli infection in intensive care units before and one month after the Wenchuan Earthquake was conducted in the West China Hospital. MicroScan Walkaway 96SI or PHOENIX 100 Automatic System in combined with manual identification, was employed to identify the Gram-negative bacilli infection and antibiotic resistance.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to reduce bleeding and enhance safety during surgeries for pelvic and sacral tumors by using a balloon to block blood flow in the abdominal aorta.
  • Over a six-year period, 18 patients had surgery with a sizing balloon occlusion technique, resulting in significantly lower blood loss and stabilized blood pressure during operations.
  • The findings suggest that this method effectively improves surgical outcomes by minimizing hemorrhage and aiding in clearer identification of surgical areas, making tumor removal safer.
