BACKGROUND:Porous tantalum rods, possessing high porosity and highly similar elastic modulus to the trabecular bone, not only can provide effective mechanical support for the femoral head, but also can enhance revascularization in the areas of necrosis, reduce stress shielding, and provide guarantee for bone ingrowth in necrotic area.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the attachment and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on the surface of porous tantalum rod.
METHODS:The purified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells which were separated from canines were seeded on the surface of porous tantalum rod by the celldensity of 1.5×109/L. cellattachment and proliferation was observed under phase microscope and scanning electron microscope at 5, 10 and 15 days under co-cultured condition.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Inverted microscope:Within 1-5 days after co-culture, the cells began to proliferate, and less cells were found near the tantalum rod, but more cells far from the rod. At 6-10 days after co-culture, the cells increased significantly and gradual y migrated to the rod, and even some cells attached to the edges of the rod. After 14 days, the cells were interconnected to form a film, packing the surrounding and dents of the tantalum rod. cells were visible to agglomerate and cellcalcification occurred. (2) Scanning electron microscope:At 5 days after co-culture, no celladhesion appeared on the the tantalum rod surface. At 10 days after co-culture, the cells scattered on the surface of tantalum rod, but there was no interconnection between them. After 15 days, cells were polygon shaped and connected into pieces. It could be seen that the cells secreted large amounts of col agen fibers, and the cells that were fusiform and polygon shaped were surrounded by a great amount of extracellular matrice. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells appear to have good adhesion and proliferation capability on the surface of tantalum rod.

Objective:
To investigate the early diagnosis and treatment options for steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH).
Methods:
Retrospective analysis was conducted in 73 patients with unilateral SONFH from January 2010 to June 2017. There were 27 males and 46 females, aged 34.26±10.35 years (range, 20-45 years). The following type of cases were included, 21 cases of ARCO I, 24 cases of IIa, 8 cases of IIb, 18 cases of IIc and 2 cases of IIIa. Patients with ARCO I were limited in weight and were treated with low molecular weight heparin sodium and ginkgo dharma drugs after excluding bleeding risk. Core decompression was performed in patients with ARCO IIa and IIb vascularized greater trochanter bone transfer was conducted in patients with IIc and IIIa. During the follow-up duration, when the ARCO I progressed to ARCO IIa and IIb, the core decompression was performed. When the ARCO IIa and IIb progressed to the ARCO IIc or IIIa, the vascularized greater trochanter bone transfer was conducted. Vascularized greater trochanter bone combined with the tantalum rod was implanted in ARCO IIIb. The femoral head reconstruction with the larger trochanter bone flap or joint replacement was performed in ARCO IIIc and above. The Harris hip score was used to evaluate the clinical outcomes. The femoral head survival curve of SONFH was drawn with the end of joint replacement.
Results:
All 73 patients were followed up for an average of 29 months (range, 18 to 48 months). After treatment of 21 patients with ARCO I, a total of 14 (67%) patients had no ARCO staging progress. After 6 months, three patients progressed to ARCO IIb and 4 patients progressed to ARCO IIc. All 32 patients with ARCO IIa and IIb were treated, of which 25 (78%) did not progress but 4 patients progressed to ARCO IIIa at 6 months. Only one patient progressed to ARCO IIIb at 6 months, and 2 patient progressed to ARCO IIIc at 12 months. There were 18 patients with ARCO IIc underwent treatment, of which 14 patients (78%) did not progress but 2 patients progressed to ARCO IIIa at 6 months and 2 patients progressed to ARCO IIIc at 24 months and to ARCO IV at 42 months, respectively. Two patients of ARCO IIIa, 1 patient did not progress and the other one progressed to ARCO IV at 36 months. The Harris hip score was 90.48±5.36 before treatment and 91.76±8.19 at the last follow-up. The difference was not statistically significant (

Purpose:
This study aimed to describe the clinical response to five-step systematic therapy (FSST) in the management of plugged ducts and mastitis. FSST was a comprehensive milk stasis dredging treatment, which contained five steps to make the milk out of the plugged duct.
Methods:
This retrospective study included 922 breastfeeding women, 714 with plugged ducts, and 208 with mastitis who received FSST from June to September 2017. The breast pain score, swelling degree, and range of breast induration were recorded pre-FSST and post-FSST.
Results:
After a single FSST, pain score and swelling degree were significantly improved (both p < .001) in all cases. After FSST, the mean breast pain relief score was 1.69 ± 0.70, whereas the mean swelling fade away degree was 1.61 ± 0.62. In the subgroup analysis, pain score and swelling degree were significantly improved (both p < .001) in the plugged ducts group and the mastitis group. The score of pain relief in the plugged ducts group was less than that in the mastitis group (1.63 ± 0.68 vs. 1.91 ± 0.70, t = 5.30; p < .001), whereas improvement of swelling fade away was greater in the plugged ducts group than the mastitis group (1.65 ± 0.64 vs. 1.48 ± 0.56, t = 3.49; p = .001). The composition ratio of changes in induration range between the two groups was statistically different (Pearson χ2 = 137.87, p < .001), of which more obvious improvement in the plugged ducts group than the mastitis group (χ2 = 25.65, p < .001).
Conclusion
FSST can relieve pain, reduce breast swelling and range of induration, and for plugged ducts or mastitis varied degree differently.

BACKGROUND:Irreducible femoral neck fracture was difficult to obtain anatomic reduction.As a new type of internal fixation,the femoral neck system is still blank for the treatment of non-anatomical reduced femoral neck fractures. OBJECTIVE:To explore the biomechanical stability of femoral neck system internal fixation under nonanatomical reduction in the treatment of femoral neck fractures based on finite element analysis. METHODS:CT data of the hip joint of a healthy female adult were obtained.Anatomical reduction of femoral neck fracture models with Pauwels angles of 30°,50°,and 70° were established using Mimics 21.0,Geomagic Wrap 2021,and SolidWorks 2020.The fracture proximal ends of the three anatomical reduction models were shifted upward by 2 mm along the fracture line,and three positive buttress models with different Pauwels angles were obtained.In the same way,three negative buttress models were acquired by shifting downward by 2 mm.SolidWorks 2020 was used to make the femoral neck system internal fixation,and the nine femoral neck fracture models were assembled with the femoral neck system.Then Ansys 19.0 was used for finite element analysis.The displacement distribution and maximum displacement,stress distribution and maximum stress of the femur and femoral neck system were recorded under 2100 N stress. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)When Pauwels angles were 30°,50°,and 70°,the maximum stresses of the femoral neck system appeared to be concentrated at the junction of the sliding hip screw and anti-rotation screw.The maximum femur stresses appeared to be concentrated in the medial cortex of the femur.The maximum displacement was concentrated at the upper of the femoral head and femoral neck system.(2)When Pauwels angles were 30° and 50°,the maximum displacement and maximum stress of the femoral neck system and femur were:negative buttress>anatomical reduction>positive buttress.(3)When Pauwels angle was 70°,the maximum displacement and maximum stress of the femoral neck system were:negative buttress>anatomical reduction>positive buttress;the maximum displacement and maximum stress of the femur were:negative buttress>positive buttress>anatomical reduction.(4)With the increase of Pauwels angle,the biomechanical advantage of the positive buttress was weakening.However,it was better than a negative buttress.When Pauwels angle was 30°,positive buttress was more stable than anatomical reduction.When Pauwels angle was 50°,the biomechanical difference between positive buttress and anatomical reduction became smaller.When Pauwels angle was 70°,the stability of anatomical reduction was slightly better than positive buttress.(5)If it was difficult to achieve anatomical reduction of femoral neck fracture during operation,but the positive buttress had been displaced within 2 mm,the femoral neck system could be used to offer stable mechanical fixation.It is necessary to avoid negative buttress reduction.
