Evidence-based medicine(EBM)is a new mode for modern medical education in orthopaedic teaching.The theory of evidence-based medicine is an essential part of clinical education for young doctors in practice,which improves their ability of thinking,scientific research and self-education,so as to enhance the students'comprehensive ability and lay sound basis for medical practice in future.

The application of network and multimedia technology in combination with bilingual teaching in orthopedics is explored which not only promotes the use of multimedia technology in teaching,but also enhances students' understanding ability for professional knowledge.Moreover,it can enhance students' learning interest in medical English and medical knowledge,thus promoting education effectively.

[Objective]To observe complications of tibial pilon fractures with Ⅲ leaves type plate and analysis of causes and prevention of complications.[Method]Fourty-two cases of the final pilon fractures were treated with Ⅲ leaves type plate from July 1999 to December 2003.There were 30 males and 12 females,the average age was 45.3 years(ranged,15～62 years),9 cases were open fracture and 33 cases were open fracture.According to the Ruedi-Allgower classification,there were 15 cases of type Ⅰ fracture,18 cases of type Ⅱ fracture and 9 cases of type Ⅲ fracture.[Result]Fourty-two cases were followed up for an average of 28 months(ranged,14～60 months),The time to fracture union averaged 16 weeks(ranged,11～26 weeks).The complications included infection in 6 cases,cases with severe traumatic arthritis and 3 cases with ankylosis.After evaluated according to the criteria of Bourne,there were 19 cases assessed as being excellent,17 as good and 2 as poor,the excellent and good rate was 85.7%.[Conclusion]Ⅲ leaves type plate is a good internal fixation for tibial pilon fractures,but the complications should be prevented.

[Objective]To study the role and the effect of establishing the plan of meeting emergency in the rehabilitation and reestablishment of high-octane body hurt.[Method]Eighty six patients of high-octane body hurt were collected from Shi He Zi people's hospital during 1998 to 2007.According to Gustilo-Anderson categorize of open fracture and mark of ISS,high-octane body hurt can be divided into three parts.Meanwhile,different part can be taken different methods to rehabilitate and reestablish.Therefore,we can analyze pertinence between cure principle and curative effect.[Result]Eighty three patients were observed during the period of fifteen and thirty-three months,the average were nineteen months.Five of them contracted double floating knee injury,and their knee joint appeared anchylosis,abnormality and function failure afterfracture healed up.We did one-off knee joint release while extracting internal fixation,and used CPM machine to assist exercise.Fortunately,the function of knee joint could be renewed.Another five patients' fracture did not heal up very well.However,after experiencing the apply of oneself bone autograft,fracture could be healed up perfectly.The time of allograft bone union ranged from five to sixteen months,the average time were 7.5 months.There are three patients contract paraplegia,and three patients dead.By autopsy,some of them belongs to multiple fracture and multiple viscera burst.Mortality was 3.48%.[Conclusion]By establishing the plan of meeting emergency of high-octane body hurt,using the Gustilo-Anderson categorize of open fracture and mark of ISS,we can systemic classify damage degree,and make scientific treatment by stages,therefore,attaining our goal of early diagnoses,early treatment,and decreasing mortality and decreasing the proportion of disabled.After all,the plan of meeting emergency plays an essential role in traumatie surgery.

[Objective]To investigate the effects of doxycycline on rabbit immobilized osteoarthritis and their mechanism.[Method]Twenty-four rabbits were randomly divided into normal,model,control and treatment groups,with 6 rabbits in each group.All of the animals were immobilized the lower left limbs with plaster bandage for 4 weeks except normal group.Doxycycline was orally given to treatment group.Cartilage degeneration of the medial condyle of femur was observed at 4 weeks and the levels of collagen-Ⅱ,uPA and MMP-13 were tested.[Result]Cartilage degeneration in treatment group was significantly slighter than those in model and control groups.Data of collagen-Ⅱ,uPA and MMP-13 between model and control groups had no significant difference,but a noticeable statistical difference among other groups.The uPA activity was positively correlated with MMP-13.[Conclusion]Doxycycline inhibits the degeneration process of cartilage and improves the structure.The effects may be related to the inhibition of uPA and MMP-13.

Objective To summarize countermeasures on common problems of microendoscopic discectomy(MED). Methods Microendoscopic discectomy was performed in 104 cases of lumbar disc herniation by using the MED system(Sofamor Danek Group,USA).Frequently encountered problems during the operation were reviewed and summarized. Results Conversions to open surgery were required in 4 out of 104 cases due to bleeding or adherence.Among the rest of 100 cases,dural injury occurred in 3 cases,with 1 case accompanying leakage of cerebrospinal fluid.Of the 100 cases(115 intervertebral spaces),the average operation time was 50 min(range,30~90 min) and the average hemorrhage amount was 80 ml(range,20~400 ml) for each intervertebral space.The 100 cases were followed for 3~32 months(average,18 months).According to the Macnab criteria,the curative effects were classified as excellent in 65 cases,good in 29 cases,and fair in 6,the rate of excellent or good effects being 94.0%(94/100). Conclusions The most frequent problems during MED are bleeding and prolonged excision of the ligamenta flava.Strict adherence to technique,acquaintance with the weakness of the ligamenta flava,and familiarity with anatomic structures of the vertebral vein system and its relationship with abdominal pressure,are very important in the prevention and treatments of surgical complications.

Objective To explore whether or not the cartilage damage in the pathogenesis of pathologic synovial plicae is due to the matrix metalloproteinase. Methods The immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression and distribution of matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1) in arthroscopically clarified pathologic synovial plicae and normal synovial plicae of the knee joint.Results The positive expression rate of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 had significant differences between the pathologic and normal synovial plicae(?~2=16.014,P=0.000;?~2=4.059,P=0.044).The expression of MMP-1 was positive in the synovial lining cells,monocytes,lymphocytes,endothelial cells,and chondrocytes,but negative in the normal synovial plicae.The TIMP-1 expression was only detected in the synovial lining cells and a small quantity of fibroblast cells.The immunohistochemical analysis revealed a greater number of positive cells and intensity of staining of MMP-1 than TIMP-1.Conclusions The development of pathologic synovial plicae may yield MMP-1 and TIMP-1 with unbalanced distributions,which may be the biological basis of the pathogenesis of cartilage destruction.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of MMP-3 in knee joint synovium of different stage in osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Methods MMP-3 protein were detected by immunohistochemical method in knee synovial tissues from 90 OA patients (the OA group) and OA group was divided into 3 subgroups according to Kellgren and LawrenceX-ray diagnosing standards: the gradeⅠ(n = 30), gradeⅡ (n = 30) and grade Ⅲ subgroups (n = 30). 30 patients were enrolled as control group. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of MMP-3 protein in the tissue. Results The expression level of MMP-3 protein in OA group was significantly higher that in the normal synovium (P < 0.05). There existed significant difference in the expression of MMP-3 protein between the grade Ⅲ subgroup and the gradeⅠ, or Ⅱsubgroups (P < 0.05). The expression of MMP-3 protein related positively to the severity of OA (r = 0.912, P < 0.05). Conclusion The expression of MMP-3 protein related closely to the pathogenic mechanism of OA. It may serve as an important indicator of early diagnosis and the activity of OA.

Objective To investigate the factors that affecting the efficacy of arthroscopic debridement in the treatment of knee osteoar-thritis. Methods The clinical data of patients with knee osteoarthritis treated with arthroscopic debridement in our hospital from January 2009 to December 2013 was retrospectively analyzed,and the treatment effect was evaluated by Lysholm score. The factors that may affect the efficacy were selected to make a single factor analysis,and then made a multiple logistic regression analysis with the factors which were of sta-tistical significance through single factor analysis. Results Single factor analysis showed that age,course of disease,body mass index,psycho-logical factor,preoperative VAS score,preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence grade,preoperative Lysholm score and postoperative rehabilitation exer-cise were the factors that affected the efficacy of knee arthroscopy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. Further multivariate analysis showed that high body mass index,high preoperative VAS pain score,low Ly-sholm score,high psychological expectations and high preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence grading were expected to be the independent risk fac-tors of knee arthroscopy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Strict compliance with the postoperative rehabilitation exercise was the protect factor. Conclusion High body mass index,high preoperative VAS pain score,low preoperative Lysholm score,high preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence grading,and high psychological expectations were expected to reduce the effect of surgery,while strict compliance with the postoper-ative rehabilitation exercise can improve the curative effect.
