Artificial femoral head replacement is commonly performed in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. However, the patients are always complicated by other diseases and their major organ functions are low, which increases risks of anesthesia and replacement. The anesthesia methods for artificial femoral head replacement include epidural anesthesia, combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, and general anesthesia. Respiratory system and nervous system complications, bleeding and transfusion complications, deep venous thrombosis and lung embolism, and bone cement-associate complications are common complications in anesthesia for femoral head replacement. Therefore, appropriate anesthesia pattern, rigid monitoring, and proper treatment can reduce anesthesia risks.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Oxfordshire community stroke project(OCSP) classification and imaging classification in acute cerebral infarction. Methods Two hundred and thirty-six patients with acute cerebral infarction were retrospectively evaluated with OCSP classification and imaging characteristics. Results According to OCSP classification,of all the 236 patients with acute cerebral infarction,28(11.9%) experienced total anterior circulation infarction(TACI),71(30.1%) partial anterior circulation infarction(PACI),94(39.8%) lacunar infarction(LACI),and 43(18.2%) posterior circulation infarction(POCI).The consistency was found in 171 cases(72.5%) between the OCSP classification and imaging classification,with the accuracy of 76%(25/33) for TACI,81%(34/42) for PACI,71%(81/114) for LACI and 66%(31/47) for POCI. Conclusion OCSP classification can predict the location and size of cerebral infarction with a high accuracy,and is well consisted with the imaging findings.

BACKGROUND: The proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) lack of regulatory functions. Following combining with suitable vectors, MSCs cannot highly effectively proliferate and differentiate, which are keys to prevent MSCs entering the clinic. It is of great importance to effectively regulate the differentiation of stem cells into osteoblasts using pulse electromagnetic field.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the differentiation of mouse MSCs into osteoblasts in vitro following stimulation of pulse electromagnetic field.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The cytological in vitro controlled study was conducted at the Laboratory of Department of Orthopaedics, Puai Hospital of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from May 2004 to October 2007.MATEIRALS: Totally 20 BALB/C mice were supplied by the Experimental Animal Center of Tongji Medical College. Pulse electromagnetic field deviser was designed and made by the Department of Electric Machine, Naval University of Engineering.METHODS: Mouse bilateral femur was sterilely isolated. BMSCs were harvested by the Percoll density gradient centrifugation,and purified and proliferated by the adherent method. Cells at the third passage (2×10~7/L) were incubated in a 6-well plate, and then divided into 4 groups. Cells in the blank control group were incubated in the complete medium. Cells in the pulse electromagnetic field underwent pulse electromagnetic field radiation of 50 Hz, sinusoidal wave, and 1 mT, twice a day, once 30 minutes, with an interval of 12 hours, totally 10 days. Cells in the osteogenic induction group were incubated in the complete medium, supplemented with dexamethasone, sodium glycerophosphate and VitC. Cells in the pulse electromagnetic field + osteogenic induction group were subjected to the same pulse electromagnetic field radiation and then incubated in the complete medium.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The differentiation of BMSCs was measured.RESULTS: Results of alkaline phosphatase staining showed that cells were negative in the blank control group, but weakly positive in the pulse electromagnetic field group, positive in the osteogenic induction group, and strongly positive in the pulse electromagnetic field + osteogenic induction group 10 days following intervention. Compared with the blank control group,absorbance value of type I collagen immunohistochemistry was significantly greater in the osteogenic induction group, pulse electromagnetic field + osteogenic induction group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Pulsed electromagnetism fields of 50 Hz, waves of sine, with the intensity of 1 mT could promote alkaline phosphatase and type I collagen expression and enhance the differentiation of mouse BMSCs into osteoblasts in vitro.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of lengthening and rotational osteotomy of the fibula for lateral malleolar malunion. Methods Twenty-three patients who had suffering from the traumatic arthritis of ankle were due to lateral malleolar malunion treated with lengthening and rotational osteotomy from October 2005 to July 2008. Special radiographs were use to fully detect the extent of shortening and rotation of the fibula. The Lengthening and rotational osteotomy could be conducted with a special compression/distraction device and bone graft. The function of the ankles was evaluated by the American Orthopedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system. Serial radiographs of the ankle were made to assess the bone healing and changes of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Results Seventeen of 23 patients were followed up, with a mean 29.1 months (12-45 months). All the fractures were healed. The mean bone healing time was 13.3 weeks (11-16 weeks) and the mean time of total weight-bearing was 12.1 weeks (11-15 weeks). The ankle function score had improved from 29 (21-47) preoperatively to 81 (56-91)12 months after the operation. There was 5 in excellent, 8 in good, 3 in mild, 1 in poor, and the rate of good outcomes was 76.5%. After the operation, 1 patient had a skin necrosis around the wound which healed by conservative treatment. A slightly aggravated degeneration of the ankle joint was seen in 2 patients who responded to conservative managements. No failure of the internal fixation was noted in this group. Conclusion The outcomes demonstrate that reconstructive lengthening osteotomy is well worthwhile when there is absent or minimal osteoarthritic change, regardless the time from the original injury. Lengthening of the fibula is an important step in the treatment of the painful ankle when the fibula become shorter after injury, even when degenerative changes of the joint are already present. The lengthening of the fibula could lead to a good outcome in ankle with lateral malleolar malunion.

Objective To investigate the feasibility in improving the heart function by smooth muscle cells transplantation into the ischemic myocardium model established by coronary artery ligation. Methods Myocardial infarct was produced by ligation of the left coronary artery. At 2 weeks after establishment of myocardial infarct, cultured fetal rat gatric smooth muscle cells marked with BrdU were transplanted into the ischemic myocardium by direct injection (transplantation group, n=10), or culture medium alone (control group, n=10). Heart function was assessed by echocardiography before and at 4 weeks after transplantation. At 4 weeks after transplantation, the hearts were harvested. The transplanted smooth muscle cells were assessed by immunostaining against BrdU and ?-SMA. Results The injected fetal smooth muscle cells survived in the infarcted regions and formed muscle-like tissues at the site of transplantation at 4 weeks after transplantation. The grafts thickened the wall of the left ventricle [(2.51?0.22) mm vs (1.32?0.16) mm, P
