肱骨干骨折--髓内钉与钢板固定的比较

总体而言，这些报道提示：采用髓内钉治疗肱骨干骨折较采用钢板带来更多的并发症，尤其是采用顺行人路。同时，这些报道没有提供确切的证据证明何种方法在骨折愈合、减少感染或上肢总体功能上优于另一种。     

Marrow fibrosis associated with a Philadelphia chromosome.

Three patients had marked marrow fibrosis and an apparent Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. Hematologic, cytogenetic, and molecular studies demonstrated the heterogeneity of such cases, including the first example of clinically typical myelofibrosis (MF) associated with a bcr gene rearrangement characteristic of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).     

Evaluation of somatic and autonomic small fibers neuropathy in diabetes.

The relationship between somatic and autonomic neuropathy was assessed in the feet of 30 diabetic patients. Somatic small fiber function was evaluated by the thermal threshold test for cold (A delta fibers) and warmth (C fibers). Telethermography and transcutaneous oxygen tension were used to investigate the autonomic control of peripheral circulation. Autonomic neuropathy caused the opening of arteriovenous anastomosis, which was revealed through an elevation of the feet's temperature and a low transcutaneous oxygen tension. The association of the opening of the arteriovenous anastomosis and the perturbation of the thermal threshold test established a relationship between the dysfunction of the autonomic and the somatic fibers.     

Bone remodelling after growth factor and cyclosporine A therapy for aplastic anemia

We describe a patient with viral induced aplastic anemia who developed severe bone pain after treatment with multiple courses of antithymocyte globulin, cyclosporine A, recombinant human granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor and deferoxamine. Radiographs and bone biopsy revealed extensive new trabecular bone formation in long bone diaphyses and adjacent periosteal reaction. The effects of hematopoietic growth factors, cyclosporine A and deferoxamine on bone metabolism are reviewed.
