2.Progress of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and carriers in the treatment of femoral head necrosis
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(3):440-445
BACKGROUND:With the development of stem cellresearch and regenerative medicine, a growing number of technique applications of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have been used for treatment of femoral head necrosis. Simple grafting and injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells has a poor effect, which is combined with scaffold materials as cells carrier plays a better role.
OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and carriers in the treatment of femoral head necrosis and to look into the future development prospects.
METHODS:A computer-based online search of PubMed (1989/2013) and CNKI (1989/2013) was performed for articles with the key words“osteonecrosis of the femoral head, avascularnecrosis, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, carrier or scaffold material”in English and Chinese, respectively. The advantages and limits of various carries and scaffolds were summarized.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Ideal carriers can promote and induce ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to repair the femoral head. There is a variety of existing carriers, including autologous cancellous bone, al ograft bone, natural biological materials, organic materials, bio-ceramic, nano-materials. Since each material has its own advantages and limitations, composite materials have begun to be used in searching for ideal carriers and scaffolds, and there are however stil some issues that remain to be solved, such as lacking of unified standard of production, specification and making process;how to control and prevent the immune response and inflammation after implantation;how to ensure that the degradation rate of scaffold matches the generation rate of bone and cartilage in the femoral head;and how to identify the cytotoxicity, biocompatibility and therapeutic effects after implantation.
3.Safety, economy and effects of unilateral and simultaneous bilateral knee arthroplasty
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(13):1829-1837
BACKGROUND:Patients with knee arthroplasty mostly had bilateral lesions. It is stil controversial to perform simultaneous bilateral surgery or unilateral arthroplasty. The focus of controversy is that bilateral arthroplasty of the same period can get a real upgrade of the repair effect if it does not increase the risk of surgery. There have always existed controversies. OBJECTIVE:To comparatively analyze simultaneous bilateral and unilateral arthroplasty from aspects of safety, economy and effects. METHODS:118 patients suffering from severe bilateral knee osteoarthritis and treated by total knee arthroplasty in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from April 2011 to April 2014 were divided into simultaneous bilateral arthroplasty group (n=47) and unilateral arthroplasty group (n=71). Variables reflecting safety, economy and effects were set up and data were colected and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no evident difference in safety between simultaneous bilateral arthroplasty and unilateral arthroplasty groups (P > 0.05). In economy and effect, simultaneous bilateral arthroplasty group was significantly better than unilateral arthroplasty group (P < 0.05). These results suggest that with the same surgical management level, if the patient could resist, simultaneous bilateral surgery should be more welcomed, while performing simultaneous bilateral surgery in patients with preoperative cardiovascular diseases should be decided carefuly. Patients with diabetes melitus preoperatively should be guarded against postoperative infection.

BACKGROUND:Knee-parameter measurements play an important role in the designing of the knee prosthesis. Currently, we have more and more research of the total knee replacement, while uni-condylar knee replacement study is few. OBJECTIVE: To obtain the parameters of the normal femoral condyles and explore its correlation with osteotomy and prosthesis design of the knee joint during uni-condylar knee replacement. METHODS: Normal knee joints of 60 cases (60 knees) were selected. We measured the parameters by using thin-section CT scan and post-processing techniques, including arc diameter of the lowest point of the femoral condyle on the coronal plane, arc diameter of the distal point of the posterior condyle of the femur on the transverse plane, arc diameter of the distal point of the posterior condyle of the femur on the sagittal plane, and arc diameter of the lowest point of the femoral condyle on the sagittal plane, and analyzed the correlation with sex and height. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The diameter of the arc that passes through the lowest point of femoral medial condyle in the coronal plane was (42.685±1.389) mm. The diameter of the arc that passes through the farthest point of posterior of femoral medial condyle in the cross-section was (42.732±1.440) mm. The diameter of the arc that passes through the lowest point of femoral medial condyle on the sagittal plane was (45.473±1.332) mm. The diameter of the arc that passes through the farthest point of posterior of femoral medial condyle on the sagittal plane was (42.587±1.446) mm. The results illustrate that knee condyle related parameters were positively correlated with height. Parameters in males were significantly greater than in females. The diameter of the arc that passes through the lowest point of femoral medial condyle on the sagittal plane was significantly larger than that of the farthest point of femoral posterior medial condyle on the sagittal plane (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference among the diameter of the arc that passes through the lowest point of femoral medial condyle on the coronal plane, the diameter of the arc that passes through the farthest point of posterior of femoral medial condyle on the cross-section and that of the farthest point of femoral posterior medial condyle on the sagittal plane.

BACKGROUND: Currently, therapies for spinal cord injury include steroid pulse therapy, surgical decompression and stem cel therapy. A lot of work has been focused on stem cel therapy for spinal cord injury which has become a hot spot. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research status and progress in induced pluripotent stem cells for treatment of spinal cord injury. METHODS: A computer-based online search of PubMed (1980-01/2011-11) was performed for articles in English using the keywords of “spine injury, induced pluripotent stem cells, IPS”RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 35 articles were included in result analysis, in which, stem cel therapy for treatment of spinal cord injury is agreed or supported. Induced pluripotent stem cells are isolated directly from the body, which solves ethical and moral issues in the transplantation of stem cells, meanwhile avoids al ograft rejection and also provides a large source of cells. Stem cel therapy for spinal cord injury is widely used in animal experiments but few in clinical application. However, stem cel therapy has a good effect in the animal experiments, and shows a higher safety. The existing problems of induced pluripotent stem cells to treat spinal cord injury mainly include immature differentiating method of induced pluripotent stem cells and more complications. Therefore, induced differentiation and security of induced pluripotent stem cells for treatment of spinal cord injury wil become a research key.

BACKGROUND:The relationship between the occurrence time and clinical symptoms of bone marrow edema in nontraumatic femoral head necrosis is stil controversial. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the relationship of bone marrow edema in nontraumatic femoral head necrosis with Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) staging and pain grading. METHODS: Forty-eight patients with nontraumatic femoral head necrosis (58 hips) were confirmed to have bone marrow edema on MRI T1 weighted images and T2 fat suppression images. Then, the patients were graded according to the MRI Classification Method reported by Zhao Pei-rong, the ARCO Staging System and Harris hip score for pain grading. We analyzed the correlation of bone marrow edema with ARCO staging and pain grading. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The incidence rate of bone marrow edema in ARCO I-III was increased in sequence, and the difference was statisticaly significant (χ2=27.69,P=0.001); the average rank of bone marrow edema in ARCO I-III was increased significantly (χ2=19.947,P=0.000). The incidence rate of bone marrow edema also increased among different pain grading, and the difference was statisticaly significant (χ2=57.0, P=0.000); the average rank of bone marrow edema among different pain grading was increased significantly (χ2=174.0,P=0.000). The presence and aggravation of bone marrow edema indicate the enlargement of necrosis area and the aggravation of symptoms in patients with nontraumatic femoral head necrosis, which can be used as an auxiliary index for the appraisal of disease progression.

BACKGROUND:Knee osteoarthritis is prevalent among the middle-aged and senior people in Asian countries, however, the epidemiology survey of total knee arthroplasty is rarely reported in China.
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the data of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty from 2008 to 2013 in Hefei City, and explore the distribution of age and gender of these patients.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis among patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty from January 1st 2008 to December 31st 2013 in Hefei City was performed. Data were extracted from the database of Medical Records Room of Relevant Hospitals in Hefei City, including the patient’s gender, age, disease duration, education level, body mass index and surgical site. In addition, more clinical information in one hospital were selected and analyzed, to compare the difference of clinical features between men and women.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:From 2008 to 2013, totaly 1 146 patients underwent total knee arthroplasty due to knee osteoarthritis. The rate of total knee arthroplasty increased over the 6 years and was much higher in women than in men. The single-centre registry data revealed that there was no difference in age, disease duration, education level, and body mass index and surgical site between men and women. Our findings indicate that, the rate of total knee arthroplasty is increasing steadily from 2008 to 2013 in Hefei City and is higher in women than in men. Risk factors that account for such disparity in total knee arthroplasty utilization need to be further investigated.

BACKGROUND:Distal femur is a predilection site for primary bone tumors, most of which are treated with salvage treatment. There are many reports on the early-stage, mid-term and prognosis of the distal femur tumor-type artificial knee joint prosthesis, but reports on long-term function and prognosis are less.
OBJECTIVE:To study the long-term prognosis and limb function after treatment with rotating-hinge knee prosthesis.
METHODS:Thirty-four patients with distal femoral bone tumors admitted to the Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between January 2000 and June 2008 were retrospectively analyzed, including 19 males and 15 females. Al patients were subjected to rotating hinge knee prosthesis replacement.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The mean fol ow-up period was 62.4 months (range 11 to 126 months). At the final of fol ow-up, 23 patients were event-free alive and 11 patients were dead. Seven of 23 survival patients suffered from prosthesis related complications, including four cases of prosthesis revision and three cases of amputation. The event-free survival rate of 23 patients undergoing replacement of domestic tumor prosthesis around the knee was 67.6%in 5 years. The mean functional score of affected limb was 19.30 (7 to 27 points):excellent in 6 cases, good in 16, fine in 5 and poor in 2. The excellent-good rate was 75.9%. The clinical outcomes suggested that the satisfactory limb function and survival rate could be achieved with the application of domestic tumor prosthesis replacement for treatment of malignant bone tumors around the knee.
