Objective To measure the value of orthopedic physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and Portsmouth modified POSSUM (P-POSSUM) scoring systems in predicting operative risks in aged hip fracture patients.Methods Orthopedic POSSUM and P-POSSUM were performed to predict complication incidence and mortality for 164 aged patients operated for hip fracture.Validation of the scoring systems was tested by assessing observed to expected ratio,discrimination,and calibration.Discriminative ability and calibration of both scores were estimated using receiver operation characteristic curve (ROC) and Hosmer-Lemeshow test respectively.Results Orthopedic POSSUM score performed in predicting incidence of postoperative complications showed overall observed to expected ratio of 0.86,area under the curve of 0.82,and good calibration (H2 =3.66,df=8,P ＞ 0.05).P-POSSUM performed in predicting mortality showed overall observed to expected ratio of 0.80,area under the curve of 0.93 and good calibration (H2 =3.21,df =4,P ＞ 0.05).While orthopedic POSSUM overestimated postoperative mortality (overall observed to expected ratio =0.27).Conclusion Orthopedic POSSUM and P-POSSUM scores are respectively accurate in predicting postoperative complication incidence and mortality in aged hip fracture patients,but orthopedic POSSUM score overestimates the mortality.

BACKGROUND: Oral inflammatory diseases usually cause alveolar bone loss and odontoseisis, and further impact dental occlusion. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a promising method for the repair of alveolar bone and improving osteogenic activity of alveolar osteoblasts, but its therapeutic efficacy and related mechanisms remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of different intensities of ESWT on the proliferation and osteogenesis abilities of rat alveolar osteoblasts. METHODS: The rat alveolar osteoblasts were obtained and cultured in vitro, and further identified by alkaline phosphatase staining. 0.18, 0.36, and 0.50 mJ/mm2 ESWT was used to stimulate the rat alveolar osteoblasts, 100 pulses, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The levels of alkaline phosphatase and bone morphogenetic protein 2 were significantly increased in the 0.36 and 0.18 mJ/mm2 ESWT groups, especially in the 0.36 mJ/mm2 ESWT group (P < 0.05). 0.50 mJ/mm2 ESWT significantly decreased the proliferation ability of rat alveolar osteoblasts and downregulated the levels of alkaline phosphatase and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (P < 0.05). To conclude, ESWT (< 0.36 mJ/mm2) can improve the osteogenesis ability of rat alveolar osteoblasts with the intensity increasing, which provides a theoretical basis for the clinical use of ESWT in the alveolar bone repair.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation of the levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and IL-6 in the prostatic fluid with serum levels of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) complicated by prostatitis.

METHODSA series of 211 patients undergoing surgery of BPH were divided into BPH group (n=75) and BPH with prostatitis group (n=136) according to the white blood cell count in the prostatic fluid. The clinical and laboratory findings were compared between the two groups, and stepwise regression analysis was used to assess the association of IL-8 and IL-6 with serum PSA level.

RESULTSNo significant differences were found in age, BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, IPSS score, PSA-Ratio, or prostate volume between the two groups (P<0.05). The patients with prostatitis had significantly increased serum PSA and prostate fluid IL-8 and IL-6 levels compared with those without prostatitis (P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that IL-8 and IL-6 levels and white blood cell count in the prostatic fluid were all positively correlated with serum PSA level.

CONCLUSIONProstatitis is an important risk factor for elevated serum PSA level in patients with BPH, and both IL-8 and IL-6 levels in the prostatic fluid are correlated with serum PSA level.
