BACKGROUND:Improper angle of prosthesis placement often induces acetabular cup impact, and limits the scope of activity of artificial hip joint, and cannot meet the requirement of daily life. At present, the angle of acetabular cup instal ation remains controversial during total hip arthroplasty. Moreover, there is lack of targeted guide for the acetabular cup instal ation during hip arthroplasty with different head-neck ratios. OBJECTIVE:To explore the safe range of the artificial acetabular cup instal ation angle for different head-neck ratios. METHODS:In accordance with the calculation formula of range of internal rotation and external rotation, abduction and adduction, flexion and extension after total hip replacement, interpretation of dynamical variety law of acetabular abduction and anteversion, and deriving inequalities depending on Widmer’s standard of artificial hip joint normal activities range:(1) external rotation range was at least 40°, and internal rotation range was at least 80°. (2) Abduction range was at least 50°, and adduction range was at least 50°. (3) Anteflexion range was at least 130°, and extension range was at least 40°. The safety scope of artificial hip joint instal ation angle at different head-neck ratios was determined by solving the above three groups of inequality. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The safe range of the artificial acetabular cup instal ation angle for different head-neck ratios was different. To meet the normal hip joint activities, the head-neck ratios of artificial hip should be greater than 22/12. Artificial hip joint activities gradual y increase with the enlargement of head neck ratios. With enlarging the head-neck ratios, the acetabular cup instal ation safety angle scope of abduction and anteversin gradual y increases and the extreme of abduction increases gradual y, then with anteversion increasing gradual y, the abduction upper extreme of the security scope gradual y decrease and lower extreme of the security scope gradual y increase, tending to 45° symmetrical y. When anteversion is the biggest, the abduction should be 45°.

Objective:Sirtuins family is involved in the regulation of many biological events in the cells of the body. As one of the important members, SIRT1 may participate in the formation and development of colorectal cancer. We detected the expression of SIRT1 in colorectal cancer and adjacent normal mucosa to explore its role and significance in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer.Methods:One hundred and twenty surgical specimens of patients from Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Dalian University who were hospitalized for colorectal cancer from January 2018 to July 2018 were selected as experimental group. The normal mucosa tissues more than 10 cm away from the tumor focus were taken as the control group. The expression of SIRT1 in colorectal cancer and normal mucosa was detected by immunohistochemistry SP method and Western blot. The different expression of SIRT1 in different organs of digestive tract and parts of human system was compared with Expression Atlas Database. The relationship between SIRT1 expression and clinical pathological data was analyzed to explore the role and significance of SIRT1 in colorectal cancer.Results:SIRT1 protein was mainly expressed in the tumor cell nucleus. The positive staining was brownish yellow, and it was highly expressed in rectal cancer; Sirt1 expression was positively correlated with the depth of tumor invasion, differentiation and tumor size, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); SIRT1 was highly expressed in human digestive tract, but there was no significant difference in the expression of SIRT1 in various organs of digestive tract; Sirt1 may function through the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in colorectal cancer. Conclusions:SIRT1 plays the role of oncogene in the development of colorectal cancer, and increasing expression of SIRT1 promotes the development of colorectal cancer. SIRT1 may be a marker of early diagnosis of colorectal cancer, which is of great significance.

Objective:To investigate the effects of SuperPATH approach versus conventional posterolateral approach in total hip replacement on inflammatory response, hip function, and quality of life in patients with hip diseases. Methods:The clinical data of 140 patients with hip diseases who underwent total hip replacement in Shanxian Central Hospital from March 2017 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into SuperPATH approach ( n = 70) and posterolateral approach ( n = 70) groups. Operation-related indexes, inflammatory response indexes, hip function, quality of life, and pain were compared between the two groups. Results:Intraoperative blood loss was significantly less in the SuperPATH approach group than in the posterolateral approach group [(105.40 ± 15.11) mL vs. (196.89 ± 24.26) mL, t = 26.74, P < 0.001]. Incision length, postoperative time to getting out of bed, length of hospital stay in the SuperPATH approach group were (6.85 ± 1.42) cm, (2.92 ± 0.28) days, and (6.67 ± 1.36) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the posterolateral approach group [(13.07 ± 1.89) cm, (8.36 ± 1.45) days, (10.91 ± 1.34) days, t = 19.36, 30.82, 18.58, P < 0.001]. Operative time was significantly longer in the SuperPATH approach group than in the posterolateral approach group [(69.38 ± 8.62) minutes vs. (60.45 ± 7.79) minutes, t = 6.43, P < 0.001). The scores of social role functioning, general health perceptions, vitality, mental health, bodily pain, emotional role functioning, physical functioning, and physical functioning measured 6 months after surgery were significantly higher in the SuperPATH approach group than in the posterolateral approach group ( t = 9.12, 11.80, 11.64, 11.69, 6.45, 11.79, 6.04, 10.74, all P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate measured 3 and 14 days after surgery between the two groups (both P > 0.05). Harris score used for evaluation of hip function 1 month after surgery was significantly higher in the SuperPATH approach group than in the posterolateral approach group [(76.42 ± 4.17) points vs. (69.37 ± 5.11) points, t = 8.94, P < 0.001]. The Visual Analog Scale score 3 days after surgery was significantly lower in the SuperPATH approach group than in the posterolateral approach group [(3.18 ± 0.21) points vs. (4.26 ± 0.29) points, t = 25.23, P < 0.001]. Conclusion:Compared with the conventional posterolateral approach, the SuperPATH approach for total hip arthroplasty takes longer operative time, but it can better reduce early postoperative pain, promote hip function recovery, and improve quality of life.

Objective:To explore the correlations of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone ( α-MSH) levels in serum and synovial fluid with progression of primary knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 96 patients who had been diagnosed as primary KOA at Department of Orthopedics, The First Hospital of Huizhou from October 2018 to October 2019. Radiographic severity of KOA was determined by Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grades; α-MSH levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β) and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) were also detected. Another 64 patients with patellar dislocation, matched in age and gender, were enrolled as controls. The Numeric Pain Scale (NPS) and revised Oxford Knee Score (OKS) were employed to evaluate their symptomatic severity. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to compare α-MSH, IL-1 β and MMP-3 with regard to their diagnostic values in the K-L grading. Results:There were no statistically significant difference in age, gender and body mass index between the 2 groups, showing they were comparable ( P> 0.05). The α-MSH levels in synovial fluid were significantly lower in the KOA patients than in the controls [(16.9±3.8) pg/mL versus (18.8±2.7) pg/mL] ( P<0.001); there were no significant differences between the KOA patients and the controls in the serum α-MSH levels [(24.9±1.8) pg/mL versus (24.8±1.7) pg/mL] ( P>0.05). The α-MSH levels in synovial fluid were negatively correlated with K-L grades ( r=-0.382, P<0.001) and negatively correlated with NPS ( r=-0.382, P<0.001) but positively correlated with OKS ( r=0.339, P<0.001). Moreover, the α-MSH levels in synovial fluid were negatively correlated with the IL-1 β levels in synovial fluid ( r=-0.483, P<0.001) and with the MMP-3 levels in synovial fluid ( r=-0.336, P< 0.001). Conclusions:The level of serum α-MSH may not be correlated with the progression of KOA but the synovial fluid α-MSH is negatively correlated with the progression of KOA. Therefore, the expression level of α-MSH in joint synovial fluid can be used as a potential biomarker for assessment of severity of knee osteoarthritis.
