Objective Preparing platelet rich gel through two-times centrifugal technique and co-culturing chondrocytes with PRG, then observing the proliferation and gene expression of chondrocytes, in order to provide a favorable way to prepare tissue engineering cartilage. Methods Centrifugating venous blood of rabbit through two-times centrifugal technique to obtain platelet rich plasma( PRP) ,then detecting the concentration of various growth factor in PRP. Admixing PRP with chondrocytes of rabbit and activating them with activator. After co-culti-vation,the proliferation of chondrocytes through MTT method and expression of ACAN,CollagenⅡand SOX-9 through realtime-PCR were ob-served,and compared with common cultured chondrocytes. Results The concentrations of PDGF-AB,TGF-β1,IGF-1 and VEGF in PRG were significantly higher than those in blood(P<0. 05). After co-cultivation, the proliferation rate of chondrocytes and the expression of ACAN,Collagen Ⅱ and SOX-9 were significantly higher than that of common cultured chondrocytes(P<0. 05). Conclusion Co-culturing chondrocytes with PRG is able to promote the proliferation and gene expression of chondrocytes. We considered that it is a excellent method to construct tissue engineering cartilage.

Objective To establish the anti-infective tissue engineered bones (TEBs) and evaluate the anti-infective and osteogenic effects of the infection-prevention TEBs on femoral large bone defects in goats.Methods Based on the controlledrelease antibiotic system fibrin gel-coated vancomycin alginate beads (FG-Vanco-AB),the infection-prevention TEBs were established and evaluated.They were transplanted into the critical-size defects in the right femurs of goats.TEBs without the controlled-release antibiotic system were used as controls and transplanted into the left femoral defects.The breakpoint sensitivity of vancomycin (5 mg/mL) for S.aureus was used as a standard concentration.Postoperatively,the vancomycin concentrations in the lesion site,in the adjacent site and in the circulation,as well as the anti-infective effects of the infection-prevention TEBs were evaluated by High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).Bone hcaling was assessed by histology,CT and ECT.The results were used to evaluate the osteogenic effect of the infection-prevention TEBs.Results Results from ESM,CLSM and in vivo tracing showed that the in vitro and in vivo survival conditions of seeded cells were analogous to those of TEBs.The effective concentration (over the bactericidal concentration) of vancomycin in bilateral defects and in blood lasted for 28 days,2 days and 7 days,respectively.The concentration of vancomycin in the femur decreased gradually from the grafted site to both ends.At 28 and 56 days postoperatively,the ECT results showed no significant difference between the right and left femurs.CT and histology demonstrated that at 14,28 and 112 days after surgery,bone defects in the bilateral femurs were repaired synchronously,and were completely covered by new bone tissue after 112 days.Conclusion The anti-infective TEBs were successfully established.FG-Vanco -AB in the transplanted sites provided the local bone tissues with anti-infective capability whilst not interfered the process of bone reconstnction and wound healing.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of ocular movement disorders in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO), and explore the clinical application of videonystagmograph (VNG) exami?nation in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of MS. Methods Sixteen MS ,10 NMO and 30 control ( sudden deafness ) patients were enrolled prospectively. Ocular movement disorders including saccades, gaze fixation, smooth pursuits, opto?kinetic nystagmus and spontaneous nystagmus were evaluated by using VNG. Results The positive rate of ocular motility disorders in MS patients detected by VGN was 68.75%. The incidences of abnormalities in saccades, smooth pursuits and optokinetic nystagmus were significantly higher in MS than in control groups (P= 0.000, 0.001 and 0.001, respectively). The positive rate of ocular motility disorders in NMO patients detected by VGN was 80.00%. The incidences of abnormal?ities in saccades, gaze fixation, smooth pursuits and optokinetic nystagmus were significantly higher in NMO than control groups (P=0.000, 0.012, 0.000 and 0.002, respectively). The positive rate of ocular motility disorders was not significant? ly different in MS and MS patients (68.5%vs. 80%,P>0.05). Compared with bedside physical examination, VNG showed a notable higher sensitivity in the detection of ocular motility disorders(68.75% vs. 37.50%). Furthermore, VNG disor?ders might indicate brain lesions undetected by MRI. Conclusion This small sample research indicates that VNG is a valuable tool in the detection of ocular motility disorders as well as brain lesions in MS and NMO patients. However, its role in the differential diagnosis between MS and NMO is not confirmed.

Objective To explore the risk factors of osteoporosis in elderly patients with ischemic stroke by intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis(ICAS). Methods 342 elderly patients(≥ 65 year)with ischemic stroke by ICAS were divided into osteoporosis group and non-osteoporosis group,multivariate unconditional Logistic re-gression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for elderly patients with ischemic stroke by ICAS. Results Univariate analysis shows that female,unilateral anterior circulation infarct,involvement of vessels of more than two branches,complete paralysis,delayed paralysis,BI index were significantly associated with osteoporosis in el-derly patients with ischemic stroke by ICAS between the two groups(all P < 0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender,disease duration,involvement of cerebral circulation,paralysis degree,muscle ten-sion state were independent risk factors for the development of osteoporosis in elderly patients with ischemic stroke by ICAS(OR = 3.459,2.486,4.540,3.819,3.699,P < 0.05). Conclusions Gender,disease duration,in-volvement of cerebral circulation,paralysis degree,muscle tension state are independent risk factors of osteoporo-sis in elderly patients with ischemic stroke by ICAS,provides a theoretical basis for the prevention of osteoporosis in elderly patients with ischemic stroke by ICAS.

BACKGROUND:As the population ages at an accelerated rate in China,the incidence of bone and soft tissue infections is likewise on the rise.Bone and soft tissue infections can involve all bone and surrounding soft tissues,including the periosteum,cortex,cancellous bone and bone marrow.Examples of such infections include diabetes foot,osteomyelitis,surgical incision infection,and infection around joint prostheses.Owing to the intricate pathogenesis and challenging treatment,it has become increasingly noteworthy in clinical settings.Negative pressure wound therapy is a modern wound treatment which has been gaining popularity,especially in the area of bone and soft tissue infection. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the global research progress in the utilization of negative pressure wound therapy for treating bone and soft tissue infection in recent years. METHODS:Relevant articles in Chinese and English published in PubMed,Web of Science,and CNKI from 1990 to 2022 were retrieved.Search terms were"negative pressure wound therapy,vacuum assisted closure,negative pressure,osteomyelitis,bone infection"in English and Chinese,separately.A total of 711 articles were initially retrieved,out of which 65 articles were included for further review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Negative pressure wound therapy,as an auxiliary approach to treating wounds,has a range of positive effects such as stabilizing wounds,diminishing edema,decreasing bacterial load,encouraging granulation tissue and angiogenesis,enhancing tissue perfusion,modulating peripheral nerves,modulating biological immunity and promoting the growth and differentiation of osteoblasts.This is a more effective method for managing complex wounds,such as bone and soft tissue infections,than traditional dressings with one-dimensional benefits.Numerous studies,both basic and clinical,have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of negative pressure wound therapy in the auxiliary treatment of bone and soft tissue infections.

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) in the elderly patients is currently a major health challenge worldwide, with excessive consumption of medical resources, high incidence of complications as well as suboptimal outcome and prognosis. Hip joint arthroplasty (HJA) has been the mainstream treatment for FNF in the elderly, but the conventional surgical approaches and techniques are still confronted with a series of bottlenecks such as dislocation, limp and limb length discrepancy. In recent years, direct anterior approach (DAA) for HJA (DAA-HJA) has been a major new choice in the field of joint replacement, which achieves improved clinical effectiveness of HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF, due to the fact that DAA approach involves the neuromuscular interface and accords with the idea of soft tissue retention and enhanced recovery after surgery. However, there is still a lack of unified understanding of standard technique and procedure of DAA-HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF. Therefore, relevant experts from the Hip Joint Group of Chinese Orthopedics Association of Chinese Medical Association, Youth Arthrology Group of Orthopedic Committee of PLA, Orthopedic Committee of Chongqing Medical Association, Branch of Orthopedic Surgeons of Chongqing Medical Doctor Association and Sport Medicine Committee of Chongqing Medical Association were organized to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the technical standard of direct anterior hip arthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fracture ( version 2023)" based on evidence-based medicine. This consensus mainly proposed 13 recommendations covering indications, surgical plans, prosthesis selections, surgical techniques and processes, and postoperative management of DAA-HJA in elderly patients with FNF, aiming to promote standardized, systematic and patient-specific diagnosis and treatment to improve the functional prognosis of the patients.
