Objective To retrospectively analyze the short-term clinical effects of the two-stage cementless total hip arthroplasty in the treatment of chronic infection after the internal fixation of the adult proximal femoral fracture.Methods From June 2006 to June 2011,9 patients who had suffered a chronic infection after an internal fixation of the proximal femoral fracture,including 8 males and 1 female,aged from 31 to 74 years (average,52.6 years),were treated with two-stage cementless total hip arthroplasty.There were 3 cases of femoral neck fracture,and 6 cases of intertrochanteric fracture.In the first stage,after surgical debridement and thorough removal of all the implants,an antibiotic-loaded cement spacer was implanted.All patients postoperatively underwent intravenous and oral antibiotics,and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were tested.When the values of ESR and CRP become normal,the second stage operation using cementless components was performed.Results The presence of infection was confirmed by a positive culture of joint fluid obtained intraoperatively in two cases;one case was staphylococcus aureus and another one was staphylococcus epidermidis.The second stage arthroplasty was performed 6-14 months (average,9 months) after the first stage operation.All 9 patients were followed up for an average of 23.2 months (range,6 to 50 months).No recurrent infection,component loosening,bone osteolysis and cement spacer or component dislocation occurred.The Harris score improved from 74.6 (range,64 to 86) before the first stage operation to 90.9 (range,86 to 97) at the final follow-up.Conclusion The two-stage cementless total hip arthroplasty is an effective strategy for the treatment of chronic infection after the internal fixation of the adult proximal femoral fracture.

Objective To evaluate the results of using focus clearance and morselized bone graft to treat a well-fixed socket osteolysis after total hip arthroplasty (THA) during cementless acetabular revisions.Methods From March 2006 to March 2009, 23 patients (23 hips) who had an acetabular revision hip arthroplasty of well-fixed socket for osteolysis were retrospectively reviewed, including 13 males and 10 females with an average age of 46.6 years (range, 39-54), and the mean interval from primary to revision THA was 5.5 years (range, 4.6-7.4). The preoperative Harris hip score was 74. The operative technique included debridement of soft tissues with removal of granulomata and packed tightly with morselized cancellous allograft through ilioinguinal approach, and exchanging the liner and femoral head through the posterior-lateral approach of the hip. Results The mean duration of follow-up after revision was 28 months (range, 8-38). At final follow-up, all hip were functioning well and the average Harris hip score was 93.8. Osteogenesis in bone graft were well-developed in 16 patients. Twelve bone grafts were completely incorporated into surrounding bone through creeping substitution. All acetabular components remain radiographically well-fixed and no loosening and shifting. There were no new osteolytic lesions, ectopic ossification, deep venous thrombosis, hip dislocation or infection during follow-up. Conclusion Our revision strategies included debridement and bone grafting, a revision of femoral heads and polyethylene liner and retention of the cups and femoral stems. The method can reduce the amount of the wear particle from polyethylene. The short-term outcome is excellent.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the diagnosis and treatment of the extra-articular inflammatory pseudotumor after well-fixed metal-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods From March 2006 to June 2011,7 patients (7 hips) who presented with a progressive pain and/or swelling,discomfort in groin or upper thigh after metal-polyethylene THA were admitted to our hospital.There were 2 males and 5 females,with an average age of 48.8 years (range,32-65 years).All 7 patients were identified with a periprosthetic osteolysis at the acetabular and/or femoral components and a mass in the iliac fossa or the thigh; however,the components were all well-fixed.The masses were confirmed by CT scanning and/or ultrasound examination.The revision procedures were done through ilioinguinal approach and posterior-lateral approach,and the pseudotumors were excised and osteolytic lesions were debrided and packed tightly with morselized cancellous allograft.The liner and femoral head were also exchanged at the same time.Clinical and radiographic outcomes of revision THA were evaluated.Results All 7 patients were followed up for 3-42 months (average,30 months).At final follow-up,all hips were functioning well and the average Harris hip score was 92.4.All acetabular components remained radiographically well-fixed.All cavitary defects had complete radiographic incorporation of the bone grafts.There were no new pseudotumor or osteolytic lesions identified,and no revision of the components.Conclusion The presence of abdominal or pelvic pseudotumor in patient with a THA may be associated with polyethylene wear.Once the extra-articular pseudotumor and the periprosthetic osteolysis are identified,the surgical treatment,including pseudotumor excise,osteolytic lesion debride and bone defect grafting and bearing surface exchange,can achieve retention of well-fixed components.

Objective To investigate the roles of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) protein and mRNA in the development of human bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC). Methods The expressions of ILK protein and ILK mRNA in specimens from 56 cases of human BTCC and from 30 cases of adjacent normal bladder were detected by immunohistochemistry S-P method and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), respectively. The correlation of the expressions of ILK protein and mRNA to the clinicopathological parameters of human BTCC was analyzed statistically. Results The positive rates of ILK protein and mRNA in malignant specimens were 53.6% (30/56) and 58.9% (33/56), respectively, while those in the adjacent normal bladder tissue were 10% (3/30) and 13.3% (4/30), respectively. Significant difference was found in the expressions of ILK protein and mRNA between BTCC and adjacent normal bladder specimens (P0.05). Conclusion ILK gene transcription and protein expression may be involved in the developmental process of BTCC. ILK might be a new marker for early diagnosis of BTCC and a new target gene for BTCC treatment.

Objective To isolate and identify prostate cancer stem-like cells from human prostatic carcinoma cell line PC-3,in order to set a foundation for further investigation of human prostate cancer stem cells (hPCSC). Methods Prostatic carcinoma cells line PC-3 was cultivated in serum-free medium (SFM) supplemented with growth factor,with the same cells cultivated in serum-supplemented medium (SSM) supplemented with growth factor to serve as the control. The proportion of prostate cancer stem-like cells was detected by flow cytometry,and prostate cancer stem-alike cells were identified by cell immunofluorescence,then the proliferating potentiality and doubling time with prostatic carcinoma cells PC-3 were compared by MTT. The process of inducing differentiation and the dual immunofluorescence expression after differentiation of prostate cancer stem-alike cells were observed. Results In SFM consisting of human epidermal growth factor (EGF),human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and human leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF),a few PC-3 cells could survive and form suspended cell spheres,and the proportion of prostate cancer stem-alike cells (1.43%) was significantly increased compared with that cultured in SSM (0.41%,P

Objective To investigate the perioperative management,coagulation factor regulation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for hemophilia arthritis and evaluate its short-term clinical efficacy.Methods A retrospective study was performed in hemophilia arthritis patients who had undergone TKA from March,2009 to March,2014.Patients with type A hemophilia received Lyophilized Human Factor Ⅷ,and type B hemophilia patients received Prothrombin Complex.Perioperative accurate dosage of coagulation factor was determined by preliminary test.AORI T1,T2 bone defects were filled with PMMA,and severe contained AORI T3 defects were fixed with impaction allograft and screws,and for non-contained AORI T3 bone defects,structural allografts and stem extension may be considered.Knee function was evaluated by HSS score,and imaging change was evaluated by anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of knee at latest follow-up.Results Eight patients (10 knees) were included with a mean age of 38.3±5.0 years,in which 6 were type A,and the other 2 were type B.Preoperative APTT was 63.9±4.0 s,and coagulation factor activity was 2.6％±0.9％.All the patients had flexion deformity with extension of-12.0°±5.9° and flexion of-88.0°± 11.4°.Three patients (3 knees) had valgus deformity with-3.0°±5.4°,and 2 patients (4 knees) had varus deformity with-4.5°±6.0°.All the 8 patients were followed for a mean of 14.3 months.The range of motion was improved with 0°-98.5°±6.7° at latest follow-up,and the postoperative HSS score was 88.3±4.6 compared with 42.3±10.9 preoperatively.Bone-grafting was survival,and no loosening of prosthesis or screws were detected from X-ray at latest follow-up.Conclusion The early results of TKA in Hemophilia arthritis patients are satisfactory.Preoperative preliminary test was helpful to determine the accurate dosage of coagulation factor.A stable high level of coagulation factor was vital to control bone-cement bleeding and make prosthesis stable.Tibial bone defects involving ＜ 1/3 area and ＜ 1 cm in depth could be filled with PMMA,and impaction allograft and screws could be used to fix severe contained bone defects.For segmental bone defects,except of structural allograft,stem extension was recommended to reduce stress and increase stability.

Objective To determine medium-term curative effect of extensively coated non-modular femoral stems in twostage infection revision after joint replacement.Methods We retrospectively analyzed 33 patients (33 hips) who had a two-stage infection revision after total hip replacement arthroplasty from March 2005 to December 2006.Among of them,there were 20 men (20 hips) and 13 women (13 hips).Their mean age was 66.1±7.2 years with a range from 52 to 80.The two-stage revision protocol consisted of joint prosthesis taken out in the first stage,thorough debridement,hand-molded antibiotic bone cement spacer,and two-stage joint revision after anti-infective therapy.Anti-infective therapy included intravenous antimicrobial therapy for 4 weeks and oral antibiotics for 6 weeks.Harris hip score (HHS) was used to evaluate functions of hip joint.X-ray films were used to perform clinical and radiological evaluations of prosthesis stability,displacement and looseness.Reinfection criteria were the same as the criteria used to diagnose the joint infection.Results Follow-up visit was carried out for all patients for 5-9 years (6.1±1.7 years on the average).No infection or prosthesis looseness happened after two-stage revision.Microculture of samples taken during two-stage revision or pathological examination was negative.Harris hip joint score rose to 89.1 ±8.5 in the last follow-up visit from preoperative 42.3±6.5.30 patients achieved stable bone ingrowths and the remaining three had stable fibrous ingrowths.Impacted bone graft at acetabulum side for 11 patients and all impacted bone graft in marrow cavity were fused well with the host bones.Allogeneic cortical bone plate grafts were used in 10 hips on the femoral side.Nine of these cortical bone plates fused with the host bones after postoperative 1 year,whereas one fused after 2 years.Conclusion Using extensively coated non-modular femoral stems combined with intramedullary allograft in two-stage revision for treating infection can achieve satisfactory medium-term survival rate of prosthesis and infection clearance rate.

Objective To explore clinic value of nuclear myocardiac perfusion imaging (MPI) in perioperative coronary risk assessment in patients with heart diseases planning arthroplasty,and compare the conformity and effect on surgery planning between MPI and coronary computed tomography angiogram (CTA).Methods Prospectively collect clinical data of 228 patients with heart diseases planning joint arthroplasty,all patients had MPI and CTA test to assess perioperative coronary risk.The conformity and effect on surgery planning between the MPI and CTA was analyzed,and the occurrence of cardio-vascular complication was recorded.Results MPI showed that 215 patients had no myocardial ischemia except for 13.CTA showed that 113 cases had no coronary stenosis,51 cases had light coronary stenosis,39 cases had middle coronary stenosis and 12 cases had severe coronary stenosis in patients with no myocardial ischemia.CTA also found that 3 cases had no coronary stenosis,4 cases had light coronary stenosis,3 cases had middle coronary stenosis and 3 cases had severe coronary stenosis in patients with myocardial ischemia.The conformity between MPI and CTA was low.222 patients had completed operation except for 6 cases.MPI rather than CTA had conspicuous effect on surgery planning.There was no angina,myocardial infarction or cardiac death associated with myocardial ischemia.The postoperative cardio-vascular complications included 6 cases of heart failure,4 cases of atrial fibrillation and 1 case of cerebral infarction.Conclusion MPI is a direct index to judge blood supply of the myocardium,which can exactly predict the risk of perioperative myocardial ischemia and the prognosis.It's helpful for preoperative planning,reducing risk of perioperative complications through screening and excluding high-risk patients.

Objective To compare adductor canal block with femoral nerve block under multimodal analgesia for early analgesic effect and rehabilitation after total knee replacement (TKA). Methods Eighty patients who were scheduled to undergo TKA were randomly divided into two groups:adductor canal block (ACB) group and femoral nerve block (FNB) group. All the pa?tients were given Celecoxib (200 mg, bid) three days preoperative. The ACB group was given adductor canal block with ropivacaine (5 g/L, 20 ml) and 0.1 mg epinephrine half an hour before the surgery. The FNB group was given femoral nerve block with ropivacaine (3.33 g/L, 30 ml) and 0.1 mg epinephrine half an hour before the surgery. Both of the two groups were given local infiltration analge?sia with ropivacaine (2.5 g/L, 20 ml) and 0.1 mg epinephrine after click into the prosthesis. After surgery, all the patients were given Diclofenac Sodium (50 mg, q12h, p.o.), oxycodone hydrochloride sustained?release tablets (10 mg, q12 h, p.o.) and Parecoxib (40 mg, q12 h, i.m.) until discharged. The resting and motion Numeric Rating Scales (NRS) scores, the knee joint range of motion, the muscle strength of quadriceps femoris, total Meperidine hydrochloride consumption, postoperative hospital stay and the side effects and complications were recorded. Results The resting and motion NRS scores were similar to the ACB group of FNB group which were not statistically significant. The range of motion (1, 2, 3 days after surgery) and muscular strength of quadriceps femofis (within 24 hours) in the ACB group was better than in the FNB group. The average length of postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the ACB group than it was in FNB group. In the ACB group the range of motion at 14 day, total Meperidine hydrochloride con?sumption and the side effects were similar to the FNB group. Conclusion Under multimodal analgesia, the adductor canal block had similar early analgesia effects with the femoral nerve block when TKA was performed. However, compared with FNB, the ACB was more beneficial to patients regarding the early postoperative rehabilitation to patient.

Objective To analysis the influence of component design and related surgical technique on knee range of motion (ROM) after total knee replacement using Innex knee system. Methods Between September 2003 and December 2005, 88 patients with 98 knees had consecutively undergone posterior cruciate-sacrificing TKA with Innex systems. The posterior condylar offset, post-operative tibial slope and knee ROM were measured in 63 patients (70 knees). The relationship of the change in posterior condylar offset and postoperative tibial slope with knee ROM was assessed using a scatterplot graph and Pearson's regression analysis. According to change of posterior condylar offset, which was measured by postoperative minus preoperative posterior condylar offset, patients were divided into 4 groups. The preoperative body mass index,flexion contracture, knee ROM, HSS score and the postoperative knee ROM of four groups were evaluated.Results The mean knee ROM had improved from 96.2°±11.9° preoperative to 109.8°±13.0° at final followup. The mean pre- and post-operative posterior condylar offset was (24.0±3.5) mm and (24.5±3.3) mm, respectively. The mean postoperative tibial slope was 5.5°±1.8°. There was statistical correlation between the difference in the posterior condylar offset and the change in knee ROM after TKA and no correlation between the postoperative tibial slope and knee ROM postoperatively. The preoperative body mass index, flexion contracture, knee ROM, HSS score did not show difference among four groups. There was a statistically difference in postoperative knee ROM among groups. Conclusion Restoration of posterior condylar offset is important to the maximum range of postoperative knee ROM when Orthopedic surgeons perform TKA with Innex systems.There was no correlation between the postoperative tibial slope and postoperative ROM.
