When the patients with senile or secondary osteoporosis are treated with screw fixation, the screws are likely to get loose or pulled out. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) can enhance screw fixation strength to some extent in clinic, but PMMA has such disadvantages as irresorbability, polymeric heating effect and toxic reaction so that its clinical application is limited. Calcium phosphate cement, however, has drawn much attention because it gets rid of the shortcomings of PMMA. This article introduces recent progress made in research on fixation with calcium phosphate cement enhancing screw.

[Objective]To assess the effect of femoral head reshaped surgery for treatment of collapse stage of femoral head necrosis in dogs.[Method]Experimental femoral head necrosis models were made in unilateral femoral head of 10 adult dogs.Under anaesthesia,the necrotic mass in the collapse area of femoral head necrosis was fully curreted through a passage from femoral neck to callapse head,a self-designed ball-tube apparatus enveloped with a cannula was put into under the curreted area,normal saline injected to fill the ball in the collapse cavity till the collapse area forced to reshape a spherical femoral head;After withdraw of normal saline,bone cement of calcium phosphate was injected into the reshaped cavity to maintain the reshaped femoral head.Finally the ball-tube apparatus was taken out.Preoperative and postoperative X-ray film of femoral head were taken to evaluate the reshaping.Femoral heads of experimental side and normal femoral head of contralateral side as control were take out after the dogs sacrifice for biomechanical examination of maximum compression strength.[Result]In experimental group,as compared to preoperative radiograms,the postoperative radiograms of 10 dogs showed the curreted necrotic cavity was fully filled with bone cement and reshape was maintained.The maximum comopression strength of femoral heads of control group was 49 Mpa to 60 Mpa,and that of experimental group was 49~54 Mpa with no statistical significant difference.[Conclusion]Femoral head reshaping surgery may be a method of choice for treatment of collapse stage of femoral head necrosis in experimental animal,but long-term effect should be evaluated thereafter.

BACKGROUND: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) can ameliorate the condition between vertebral pedicle screws and peripheral bone-matrix interfaces and notably enhance the strength of screw fixation. However, there are several disadvantages during and after operation such as polymerized thermal damaging effect, toxicity and unabsorbable etc. Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is biocompatible and biodegradable with good biosafty and produce no heat of polymerization, which is a perfect substitute for PMMA.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reinforcing effect of CPC on vertebral pedicle screw fixation at biomechanical aspect.DESIGN: Randomized control and repetitive observed measurement.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from August of 2002 to February 2003. ①Two fresh spines from male bodies respectively aged of 52 and 50 years were provided by the Anatomic Department of Tongji Medical College. Ten vertebrae in each spine were obtained (T8-12, L1-5) and taken as 52-year group and 50-year group. Radiographs of these vertebrae were taken to exclude congenital abnormality, fracture, tumor or other pathological changes. Vertebrae in both groups were osteoporoses of grade I and in accordance with experimental requirement.②Main components of solid phase of CPC were micropowder of tricalcium phosphate and tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) and its main ingredients of liquid phase was citrate solution, which was prepared with solid phase in the ratio of 1g vs 1 mL.Primarily setting-time was 15 minutes and the final setting-time was 12hours with the maximum compressive strength between 45 Mpa and 57 Mpa. ③Diameter of self-made pedicle screws was 5 mm; Length of screw thread segment was 34 mm; Pitch was 2 mm; Depth of screw thread was 0.8 mm.METHODS: ①Biomechanical test of pedicle screw fixation at final solid time of CPC: Vertebrae of 50-year group were taken as testing subjects.Control lateral: vertebral pedicle screws were implanted directly in screw path; Strengthening lateral: vertebral pedicle screws were inserted after fillingwith CPC. After that, specimens were deposited in a thermostated container for twelve hours at 37 ℃. Maximum axial pull-out strength of vertebral pedicle screw was determinated. ②Biomachanical test of vertebra pedicle screw fixation when CPC primarily hardened: specimens in 52-year group were taken as testing subjects. In the same way, vertebral pedicle screw was implanted in the control lateral of vertebral pedicle,while that in the strengthen lateral was implanted after filling of cement,which were placed in the thermostated container for 15 minutes at 37 ℃,the maximum axial pull-out strength of vertebral pedicle in primary setting time were determinated. ③Biomechanical test of CPC in the reinforcement of loose vertebral pedicle screw fixation: vertebrae in 50-year group were selected. Loosened vertebral pedicle screws were re-fixed with CPC for 12 hours. Maximum axial pull-out strength of bilateral screws was tested.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Biomechanical testing results of pedicle screw fixation at final solid time of CPC. ②Biomechanical testing results of vertebral pedicle screw fixation when CPC primarily hardened.③Biomechanical testing results of CPC in the reinforcement of loose vertebral pedicle screw fixation.RESULTS: ①Medians of maximum axial pull-out strength of vertebral pedicle screws in control and strengthening laterals in the 50-year group were 620 N and 1 136 N respectively. Compared with control lateral, that in the strengthening lateral increased by 83 % (P ＜ 0.01). Median of anti-cutting stress increased from 1.16 N/mm2 to 2.13 N/mm2 after being strengthened. ②The medians of those in the 52-year group were 554.5 N and 859.5 N respectively and that in the strengthening lateral increased by 55 % in comparison with that in the control lateral (P ＜ 0.01).The median of anti-cutting stress of reinforced bone-screw interface increased from 1.03 N/mm2 to 1.61 N/mm2. ③Maximum axial pull-out strength of vertebral pedicle screws in control and strengthening laterals in the 50-year group of 12 hours after re-fixation were 517 N and 876 N, which respectively increased by 63.6% or 54.2% (P ＜ 0.01) in comparison with median of that of loose screw in the same lateral.CONCLUSION: CPC can enhance vertebral pedicle screw fixation in primary and final setting time, with which loosened screws can be re-fixed.Vertebral pedicle screw in control lateral and strengthening lateral strips from bone-screw interface without peripheral bone and vertebral pedicle being destroyed seriously, which are beneficial to the second insertion of screw.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of acupoint catgut-embedding therapy plus fundamental treatment versus fundamental treatment alone for the prevention and treatment of bone marrow depression in breast cancer patients induced by FEC(fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy. Methods A total of 46 post-operation breast cancer patients accepting the first cycle of FEC chemotherapy were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 23 cases in each group. The control group was given fundamental treatment including oral use of Chinese medicine of modified Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction for regulating stomach and arresting vomiting, modified Guipi Decoction and Gui Lu Erxian Decoction for nourishing blood and generating blood, and western medicine of Batilol Tablets and Vitamin B4 Tablets.
