Objective:To compare the therapeutic outcomes between use of antibiotic cement versus non-use of antibiotic cement in the treatment of tibial osteomyelitis after radical debridement.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made of the 68 patients with local tibial osteomyelitis of Cierny-Mader Type Ⅳ who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, The Second People’s Hospital of Shenzhen from January 2010 to June 2015. The dead space was filled with antibiotic-impregnated bone cement beans after radical debridement of the infected bone in 32 of them (cement group) but was not in 36 of them (no-cement group). The operations for both groups were performed by the same surgical team who filled the bone defects after excision of infected bone using Ilizarov bone transport. The 2 groups were compared in terms of Paley functional scores of bone and limb, external fixation index (EFI), infection recurrence rate, total hospital costs and other complications.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there was no significant difference between them in the preoperative general data ( P>0.05). The cement group was followed up for (71.2±8.9) months and the no-cement group for (71.6±9.7) months, showing no significant difference ( P>0.05). By the Paley functional scores, the good to excellent rate for bone was 100% for both groups (32/32 versus 36/36) while the good to excellent rate for limb was 93.8% (30/32) for the cement group and 94.4% (34/36) for the no-cement group, showing no significant differences between them ( P>0.05). The EFI was (49.0±10.5) d/cm for the cement group and (49.5±11.4) d/cm for the no-cement group, showing no significant differences between them ( P>0.05). The infection recurrence rate at the final follow-up was 3.12% (1/32) for the cement group and 2.78% (1/36) for the no-cement group, showing no significant differences between them ( P>0.05). The total hospital cost was (70,944.1 ± 1,135.5) Yuan RMB for the cement group and (55,205.2 ± 897.3) Yuan RMB for the no-cement group, showing a significant difference ( P<0.05). No serious complications with sequelae were found in either of the 2 groups. Conclusion:In the treatment of local tibial osteomyelitis of Cierny-Mader Type Ⅳ, it is not necessary to fill the dead space with antibiotic cement when radical debridement is achieved.

Objective To investigate the microsurgical managements of intracranial ruptured aneurysms combined with intracranial hematomas and to observe their therapeutic efficacy.Methods A total of 32 patients with intracranial ruptured aneurysms combined with intracranial hematomas,treated in our hospital from January 2009 to January 2013,were chosen in our study;18 male and 14 female patients ranged from 32 to 78 years old (mean age of 55 years) were enrolled,with sudden headache,vomiting,disturbance of consciousness as the first symptoms.The preoperative status on admission was Hunt-Hess grade Ⅲ in 7,grade Ⅳ in 20 and grade Ⅴ in 5.Radiographic imaging demonstrated 7 anterior communicating artery aneurysms,3 posterior communicating artery aneurysms,7 internal carotid artery aneurysms,13 middle cerebral artery aneurysms and 2 multiple aneurysms.The associated hematoma was greater than 20 mL.All patients were brought emergently to the operating room and treated with aneurysm clipping within 72 h.Decompressive craniectomy was performed in 19 patients,and external ventricular drainage was performed in 19 patients.Results Postoperative follow up (ranged from 3-24 months) showed good recovery,moderate recovery,severe disability,persistent vegetative state and death in 6,12,11,0 and 2,respectively,graded by Glasgow Outcome Scale;the remaining one patient was lost to follow-up.The percentage of good prognosis in patients with preoperative Hunt-Hess grade of Ⅲ grade (84.6％) was higher than that of patients with Ⅳ-Ⅴ grade (36.8％,P＜0.05).Conclusions Early evacuation of space-occupying hematoma,aneurysm clipping and emergent decompessive cranioctomy could lead to survival with good recovery in some patients.

Objective To study the effect of Honokiol(HKL)on pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)and its potential mechanism.Methods Mouse lung microvascular endothelial cells(PMVECs)were cultured with DMEM+10％FBS in a six-well plate and divided into control(Con)group 1,Honokiol(HKL)group 1,LPS treated(LPS)group 1,and LPS+HKL treatment(HKL+LPS)group 1.The levels of malondialdehyde(MDA)and reactive oxygen species(ROS)in cell lysates were determined by lipid peroxidation assay kit and H2DCF-DA,respectively.TUNEL/DAPI double staining was used to detect apoptosis.Cell junctions were visualized via VE-cadherin/DAPI and Claudin-5/DAPI double staining.Western blot was used to detect caspase-3,cleaved caspase-3,Sirt3,SOD2,and acetylated SOD2(Ac-SOD2)expression.Thirty-two mice were randomly divided into control(Con)group 2,Honokiol(HKL)group 2,LPS treated(LPS)group 2,and LPS+HKL treatment(HKL+LPS)group 2.Hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining was used to observe pathological changes to the lung tissue.Results HKL pretreatment significantly reversed the LPS-induced increase in ROS and MDA levels(P＜0.05),SOD2 acetylation and Sirt3 down-regulation(P＜0.05).TUNEL and caspase analysis showed that HKL protected against the apoptosis of PMVECs induced by LPS.VE-cadherin fluorescence staining demonstrated that HKL pretreatment prevented LPS from disrupting cell adhesion junctions.Claudin-5 fluorescence staining showed that HKL pretreatment prevented LPS from disrupting the tight junctions between cells.In the animal experiments,HE staining showed that HKL significantly inhibited the typical pathological changes of ARDS in the lung tissue of mice in the LPS group.Conclusions HKL can significantly inhibit the LPS-induced oxidative stress,apoptosis,and cell-connection breakdown of PMVECs,thereby alleviating ARDS symptoms.

Objective:To analyze the dosimetric differences of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans for lung cancer caused by different dose calculation algorithms and radiation field settings and thus to provide a reference for designing clinical VMAT plans for lung cancer.Methods:This study randomly selected 20 patients with lung cancer and divided them into four groups of VMAT plans, namely, a group adopting two fields and two arcs based on the AAA algorithm (2F2A_AAA), a group employing two fields and two arcs based on the AXB algorithm (2F2A_AXB), a group using two fields and two arcs based on the MC algorithm (2F2A_MC), and a group adopting one field and two arcs based on the MC algorithm (1F2A_MC). Then, this study evaluated the target coverage, high-dose control, dose homogeneity index (HI), conformity index (CI), and organs at risk (OARs) of the plans using different algorithms and radiation field settings.Results:The planning target volume (PTV) results of two fields combined with two arcs (2F2A) of three groups using different algorithms are as follows. 2F2A_MC achieved better results in both D1% and V 95% (the relative volume of the target volume surrounded by 95% of the prescribed dose) of planning gross target volume (PGTV) than 2F2A_AAA (D1%: t=-2.44, P=0.03; V95%:z=-2.04, P=0.04) and 2F2A_AXB (D1%: t=2.34, P=0.03; z=-3.21, P < 0.01). 2F2A_AXB outperformed 2F2A_AAA ( z=-3.66, P < 0.01) and was comparable to 2F2A_MC in terms of the CI of PGTV. Regarding OARs, 2F2A_AXB and 2F2A_MC decreased the V5 Gy of the whole lung by 0.68% ( z=-2.69, P=0.01) and 3.05% ( z=-3.52, P < 0.01), respectively compared to 2F2A_AAA. 2F2A_AXB achieved a whole-lung Dmean of 1776.44 cGy, which was superior to that of 2F2A_MC ( t=2.67, P=0.02) and 2F2A_AAA ( t=8.62, P < 0.01). Compared to 2F2A_AAA and 2F2A_MC, 2F2A_AXB decreased the V20 Gy of Body_5 mm by 1.45% ( z=-3.88, P < 0.01) and 2.01% ( z=-3.66, P < 0.01), respectively. The results of the two groups with different field settings showed that 1F2A_MC was superior to 2F2A_MC in both the CI of PTV1 and the HI of PTV2 (CI: t=2.61, P=0.02; HI: z=-2.20, P=0.03). Moreover, 1F2A_MC increased the Dmean of the whole lung by 26.29 cGy compared to 2F2A_MC ( t=2.28, P=0.04). Conclusions:Regarding the design of VMAT plans for lung cancer, the MC algorithm is suitable for the target priority and the AXB algorithm is suitable for the OAR priority. When only the MC algorithm is available, it is recommended to choose 1F2A in the case of target priority and select 2F2A in the case of OAR priority.
