BACKGROUND:Pathological mechanism of femoral head necrosis is not fuly known, and high-dose corticosteroids are prone to induce femoral head necrosis.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels combined with theaflavin on steroid-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head in rats.
METHODS: Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were isolated and culturedin vitro and compounded onto gelatin sponge, and then, divided into four groups: model group, decompression group, cel transplantation group and combined group. Models of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head were established using liquid nitrogen method. In the combined group, gelatin sponge carrying bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels was transplanted and 250 mg theaflavin was given daily after modeling.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 4 weeks after modeling, the femoral head samples in the four groups were round with exfoliation of articular cartilage that was pale in color. Then, the exfoliation of articular cartilage was aggravated in the model group, and some specimens appeared to colapse; the femoral head specimens in the combined group were round and pale. Until the 8th week after modeling, bone necrosis was increased in the model group; osteoblasts were found in the decompression group with fibrous calus formation; a few of empty bone lacunae appeared with irregular medulary cavity in the cel transplantation group; a large amount of new bone tissues formed in the combined group, and intramedulary adiocytes were in regular array. At 4 and 8 weeks after modeling, the number of empty bone lacunae was significantly lower in the combined group than the other groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels combined with theaflavin is an ideal therapy for steroid-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head.

Objective To investigate the effect of δ-opioid receptor agonist D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin (DADLE) on the celluar immune function in septic rats. Methods One hundred and fifty healthy male SD rats weighing 154-198 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 50 each):group Ⅰ sham operation (group S);group Ⅱ sepsis (group SEP) and group Ⅲ DADLE. Sepsis was induced by cecum ligation and punture (CLP) in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ. In group Ⅲ 0.5 rmg/kg DADLE 10 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally (IP) immediately after CLP operation. Seven day survival rate was calculated. Blood samples were collected from 10 animals at 4, 8 and 12 h after operation (T1-3) respectively in each group for determination of serum TNF-α and IL-10 concentrations by ELISA and changes in T-cell subsets by flow cytometry. Results CLP significantly increased serum TNF-α and IL-10 concentrations and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio at T1-3 and decreased CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio and increased CD8+ at T3 in group Ⅱ as compared with group S (group Ⅰ). DADLE treatment significantly attenuated the CLP-induced above changes. Seven-day survival rate was significantly higher in DADLE group than in CLP group.Conclusion δ-opioid receptor agonist DADLE can improve the celluar immune function of rats with sepsis and increase the survival rate.

Objective:To investigate the advantages and disadvantages and clinical effects of integrated acetabular quadrilateral surface buttress plate in the treatment of acetabular both column fractures.Methods:From September 2017 to March 2019, 14 patients with acetabular both column fractures were treated with integrated quadrilateral acetabular buttress plate and were followed up. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. There were 10 males and 4 females with an average age of 53.2 years (range, 26-75 years). Fracture classification were both column fractures according to the Letournel-Judet classification system, including 11 cases of combined posterior wall without posterior dislocation. The time from injury to operation was 8-19 days, with an average of 10.3 days. All operations were performed with a supra-ilioinguinal approach. After satisfactory reduction, the integrated acetabular quadrilateral surface buttress plate was used to fix the anterior and posterior column and quadrilateral fractures at the same time. After operation, Matta criteria was used to evaluate the quality of fracture reduction on postoperative images, and modified Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score to evaluate hip joint function.Results:The average operation time was 180 min (range, 120-320 min), and the intraoperative average blood loss was 980 ml (range, 700-1 600 ml). Operations were performed successfully with none intraoperative reshaping conducted, and the plate could fit into the bone surface well. All 14 patients were followed up with an average of 15.6 months (range, 9-20 months). During the follow-up, all fractures healed with an average of 3 months (range, 2.5-5 months). The reduction quality evaluated by the Matta criteria were 7 anatomical, 5 satisfactory, and 2 unsatisfactory, with an excellent and good rate of 85.7% (12/14). The hip joint function at the last follow-up was in accordance with the modified Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score was 12-18 points, with an average of 16.9 points, of which 8 excellent, 4 good, and 2 fair. The excellent and good function rate was 85.7% (12/14). During the operation, 1 patient had a rupture of about 1 cm of the peritoneum during the separation of the spermatic cord, which was immediately sutured and repaired. One patient had obturator nerve paralysis after the operation, without special treatment, and the paralysis symptoms were relieved during the 6th-month follow-up. There were no other operation-related complications.Conclusion:For both-column fractures characterized by central dislocation of the femoral head, the integrated acetabular quadrilateral buttress plate can simultaneously fix the anterior and posterior columns and quadrilateral surface at the same time. Satisfactory reduction and functional outcomes could be achieved by the novel plates.

Objective:To explore the feasibility, safety and clinical efficacy of using the self-developed acetabular posterior wall and column integrative anatomical plate to treat various types of posterior wall/column fractures.Methods:Between January 2016 and January 2019, 21 patients involving acetabular posterior wall and/or column were treated with the novel acetabular posterior wall and column integrative plate, the data were collected and retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and 10 females, with an average of 48 years old (range, 18-65 years old). According to the classification of AO/OTA, there were 6 simple fractures, 9 comminuted fractures, and 6 associated with joint surface compression of posterior wall; and there were 16 simple acetabular posterior wall fractures and 5 cases associated with acetabular posterior column fractures. Before operation, the CT data of each patient was collected and imported into Mimics software to reconstruct and print a 3D model of pelvis and injured and mirrored side to simulate operation. All patients were treated with a single Kocher-Langenbeck approach for posterior acetabular fractures, and fixed with the novel integrated anatomical plate after satisfactory reduction was achieved. Matta score was used to evaluate the quality of fracture reduction, and the modified Merle D'Aubigné-Postel score was adopted to evaluate functional recovery of hip joint.Results:21 patients involved in this study, the average time of plate insertion after successful reduction was 20 min (range, 15-30 min); the mean time of operation was 180 min (range, 90-300 min); the intraoperative mean bleeding volume was 700 ml (range, 300-1 500 ml). All the incisions healed by level 1 classification, and no incisions infection and sciatic nerve injury occurred. The patients included in the study have been followed up for at least one year and the imaging data was intact, the mean follow-up time was 19 month (range, 12-26 month). The fracture reduction was evaluated according to the Matta score: 16 cases were anatomical reduction, 3 cases were satisfactory reduction, 2 cases were unsatisfactory reduction, the satisfactory rate of reduction was 90.5% (19/21); the modified Merle D'Aubigné-Postel score at 3 month was 13.0±2.2 (range, 9-16), 6 month was 15.8±2.4 (range, 10-18) and last follow up was 17.0±1.8 (range, 13-18), respectively; the difference was statistically significant ( F=15.38, P < 0.001). At the last follow-up, 15 cases were excellent, 3 cases were good and 3 cases were fair, the total excellent and good rate was 85.7% (18/21). One case developed symptoms of sciatic nerve injury after operation, but the symptoms resolved after treating with neurotrophic drug by 6 months. 2 cases developed arthritis related pain after operation, receiving symptomatic treatment with oral painkillers. During the follow-up period, no complications such as plate broken and screw loosen occurred. Conclusion:The use of an integrative anatomical plate for treating posterior wall/column fractures of acetabulum achieved satisfactory fixation and postoperative functional recovery.
