Objective To explore the mechanism of six-segment classification of femur intertrochanteric fracture in a three-dimensional finite element model of upper thigh-bone and its clinical relevance.Methods The left upper thigh-bone of a normal male volunteer of 60 years old was scanned using 64-slice CT.After the images were stored in the format of JPG,they were input into photoshop 7.0 for three-dimensional creation.The three-dimensional images were used to make a three-dimensional finite element model of upper thigh-bone using software Super 93.The model consisted of 764 nodes and 531 units (including 306 compact bone units and 225 cancellous bone units).In this model,the stress distribution at the trochanter during human tumbling was analyzed by imitating adduction,abduction,adduction-intemal rotation and abduction-external rotation of the hip,as well as intense muscular contraction of gluteus medius,piriformis and iliopsoas during adduction-internal rotation of the hip.Results Analysis of stress nephogram showed that the stress was distributed mainly at the exterior cortical bone and spread to the inter-trochanteric part in simple hip adduction (two-part fracture) and distributed mainly at the interior cortical bone and spread to the inter-trochanteric part in simple hip abduction (two-part fracture).In adduction-internal rotation or abduction-external rotation of the hip,the stress was focused on the anterior and posterior walls of the greater trochanter and trochanteric part and spread to the exterior and interior cortical bone and the inter-trochanteric part (three-or four-part fracture).During intense muscular contraction of gluteus medius,piriformis and iliopsoas during adduction-internal rotation of the hip,the stress was focused on the anterior and posterior walls of the greater trochanter,lesser trochanter and trochanteric part and spread to the exterior and interior cortical bone and the inter-trochanteric part (five-or six-part fracture).Conclusions The six-segment classification of femur intertrochanteric fracture explains complex stress distributions after human falling.When combined with three-dimensional CT reconstruction,it is more intuitive than other classifications so that it can provide more definite surgical advice for different types of fracture.

BACKGROUND:Metal vertebral fusion cage can induce some disadvantages and pseudoarticulation formation such as stress dodge,fusion cage subsidence,bone resorption,prolapse and bone collapse.Biodegradable absorbing material-made vertebral fusion cage can avoid disadvantages mentioned above.There are no studies on correlation of material function to design of absorbing fusion cage of lumbar vertebrae.OBJECTIVE:To design and fabricate the poly DL-lactic acid biodegradable fusion cage of lumbar vertebrae,and to analyze the material characteristics.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The material in vivo experiment was performed at the Chengdu Institute of Organic Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences from January 2003 to December 2006.MATERIALS:Twenty dogs aged 12 months were obtained from Animal Laboratory of West China,Sichuan University.Poly DL-lactic acid biodegradable fusion cage of lumbar vertebrae was produced by the Chengdu Institute of Organic Chemistry of Chinese Academy of Sciences.METHODS:According to the anatomical characters and measured data of lumbar intervertebral disc,we designed the poly DL-lactic acid biodegradable fusion cage of lumbar vertebrae.The rectangle cage consists of two styles:23 mm and 25 mm,13 mm in width,and 9,10,11 and 12 in depth(anterior wall).The depth was small half-moon shape from anterior to posterior,and the posterior wall was thinner than anterior wall about 1.5mm to accord with the shape of intervertebral discs.The depth of four walls of the fusion cage was 2.5 mm,with several 1-mm diameter holes on bilateral walls.The posterior wall had 3.5-mm diameter spiral hole,which was used for connecting with the implanted tool.Using precise shaping processing craft,the produce process was DL-lactic acid→raw material storage→lactide preparation→lactide purification→polymerization→drying package→product.After general anesthesia,bilateral thighs were incised in 20 dogs,and then a fusion cage was implanted into each dog to detect compressive strength and viscosity in the process of biodegradation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Preparation of fusion cage;compressive strength and viscosity in the process of biodegradation in vivo.RESULTS:The size of the products is 23 mm?13 mm?10 mm and the appearance of the products were saw tooth shape,which could prevent the slide,enhance the solid strength between fusion cage and the surface of vertebra.Small holes on the bilateral wall were beneficial for vascular growth and nutrient fluid exchange,resulting in bony fusion.Compressive strength and viscosity decreased at 3,6 and 9 months after implantation(r=0.961,P=0.009),but compressive strength and viscosity were good at 12 months(163 MPa and 0.66 dl/g).CONCLUSION:Poly DL-lactic acid biodegradable fusion cage has a big loading implanted bone mass and high stability.The integrity and supportive effect of the fusion cage can meet the requirement of bony fusion.

Abstract: Objective To explore the distribution characteristics of protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5) in the proximal and distal lesions of liver tissue in patients with alveolar echinococcosis (AE), and to clarify the relationship between the positive nerve fiber density of PGP9.5 in the proximal lesion of liver tissue of patients with AE and clinical pathological features and biochemical indexes. Methods From July 2019 to July 2022, 59 patients with AE who were hospitalized in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were selected, and their liver tissues at the proximal and distal ends of the lesion were collected, and their clinicopathological data and biochemical index information were collected at the same time. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the density of PGP9.5 positive nerve fibers in the proximal and distal liver tissues of 59 patients with AE, and to analyze the difference between the density of PGP9.5 positive nerve fibers in the proximal and distal liver tissues of patients with AE, and to further analyze the relationship between the density of PGP9.5 positive nerve fibers in the proximal liver tissues of patients with AE and clinicopathological features and biochemical indexes. Results The nerves in the proximal lesion of the liver tissue in patients with AE increased, mainly distributed in the outer layer of the fibrous capsule enclosing the lesion, and no obvious abnormalities were observed in the distal nerves. The density of PGP9.5 positive nerve fibers in the liver tissue of patients with AE was significantly higher than that in the distal part of the lesion, with statistical significance (Z=-4.237, P<0.05). The density of PGP9.5 positive nerve fibers in the liver tissue of patients with AE was correlated with the increase of liver volume (Z=-2.632, P<0.05). Conclusions The area of PGP9.5 positive nerve fibers in the proximal liver tissue of patients with alveolar echinococcosis increases, suggesting that PGP9.5 positive nerve is involved in the pathogenesis of AE, and its specific role needs further study.

Objective To investigate the relationship between body position and fracture reduction in cephalomedullary nailing for femoral intertrochanteric fractures. Methods Included in this analysis were 368 femoral intertrochanteric fractures undergoing cephalomedullary nailing from January 2010 to De-cember 2015. They were 191 men and 177 women, aged from 42 to 102 years ( average, 73. 1 ± 11. 0 years ) . By AO classification, there were 105 cases of type 31-A1, 131 ones of 31-A2, and 132 ones of type 31-A3. Supine position A ( contralateral hip and knee flexed at 90 degrees ) was applied in 99 cases, supine position B ( contralateral limb supine straight and abduction ) in 178 cases, and lateral position in 91 cases. The 3 groups were compared in terms of reduction quality, fluoroscopy time, fluoroscopy frequency, operative time, and Harris hp score at 6 months after operation. Results Reduction quality: supine position A group ( 97. 8%) > supine position B group ( 87. 9%) > lateral position group ( 72. 5%) . Fluoroscopy time: lat-eral position group ( 34. 4 ± 5. 8 min ) > supine position A group ( 29. 4 ± 6. 4 min ) > supine position B group ( 27. 1 ± 5. 2 min ) . Fluoroscopy frequency: lateral position group ( 15. 5 ± 5. 0 times ) > supine posi-tion A group ( 14. 0 ± 3. 4 times ) > supine position B group ( 11. 2 ± 2. 9 times ) . The above differences were significant between any 2 groups ( P <0. 05 ) . Operation time: lateral position group ( 59. 0 ± 10. 7 min ) >supine position A group ( 58. 4 ± 11. 2 min ) > supine position B group ( 51. 2 ± 8. 7 min ) . There were sig-nificant differences between supine position B group and either of the other 2 groups ( P < 0. 05 ) . There were no significant differences among the 3 groups in the Harris hp score at 6 months after operation ( P >0. 05 ) . Conclusion In cephalomedullary nailing for patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture, the position of contralateral limb supine straight and abduction can benefit fracture reduction, affect anteroposterior and lateral fluoroscopy the least, provide convenience for surgical maneuver and thus shorten surgical time.
