[Objective]To study the biomechanics of the femoral neck on the treatment of ischemic of the femoral head in dogs using titanium alloy cage,single core decompression and normal.[Method]Twenty-one couples of fresh moist dogs ' femur specimens were divided randomly into 3 groups.In 2 groups,biomechanical test of the femoral neck was made on one of every couple in different conditions:core decompression,core decompression with titanium alloy cage implanting.The other of every couple was tested as normal control.In the third group,one of every couple was tested in condition of core decompression with titanium alloy cage implanting.The other of every couple was tested in condition of core decompression.[Result]The stiffness and the max load of the single core decompression were less than that of the normal control.The max load of femoral head after titanium alloy cage implanting were lager than that of the core decompression or the normal control.[Conclusion]The titanium alloy cage implanting could increase mechanical support for femoral neck significantly and prevent femoral neck broken after manipulation.

Objective To prepare the PLGA nanoparticles( NPs) loading tetrandrine, investigate in vitro drug release behavior. Methods Tetrandrine loaded PLGA NPs were prepared by the emulsion solvent diffusion method and the preparation process was optimized by changing the stabilizer concentration and emulsion energy. The drug loading and entrapment efficiency were studied to evaluate the drug-loading property.The influence of particles size and pH value of release media on drug release behavior was investigated. Results Nanoparticles in the mean size of(203.4±2.8)nm had spherical shape and showed negative surface charge.Drug loading and entrapment efficiency was(2.17±0.10)% and(67.88±4.27)%, respectively.Tet-PLGA NPs retarded drug release in vitro, the cumulative release percentage was increased with the particle size increasing and it in acidic release medium showed a higher drug release amount. Conclusion Tetrandrine loaded PLGA nanoparticles have good entrapment efficiency, uniform particle size and can retard drug release in vitro.

[Objective]To explore the results of the treatment of the ischemic necrosis of femoral head using titanium alloy cage in animal models.[Method]The ischemic necrosis of femur head was made with the liquid nitrogen in 15 hybrid adult dogs.The titanium alloy cage of threaded central empty cylinder with multi-hole periphery was driven into the full depth of the center decompression canal to the subchondral bone.The dogs were divided into 3 groups,5 dogs in each groups were sacrificed respectively at 3,6,12 weeks after operation.Radiograph and histologic examination were used to evaluate the results.[Result]No collapse of femoral head was observed postoperation.The position of the cages was located wall in X-ray films.Under microscope,the cancellous bone of necrotic femoral head rebuilted up gradually.The cancellous bone grew into cage.After 12-week creeping substitution,the cancellous bone filled up the hollow and the peripheral holes of the cages.[Conclusion]The titanium alloy cage can provide structural support to the subchondral bone and prevent collapse.The cancellous bone grows into the cages through the peripheral holes.The necrotic femoral heads are restoration.The titanium alloy cage could be recommended for the treatment of the ischemic necrosis of femoral head.

This study examined effect of a new intervertebral cervical disc prosthesis in relieving the neurological symptoms and signs, improving the patients' ability to perform daily activities, reducing pain, and maintaining the stability and segmental motion. From December 2003 to October 2004, 12 patients, who had received 14 replacements of cervical artificial discs, were followed-up for 2 to 8 months (with a mean of 5.2 months). Of them 5 had cervical spondylotic myelopathy and 7 had cervical disc herniation. The patients included 7 males and 5 females, with their age ranging from 35 to 62 y and a mean of 50.3 y. Single-level replacements were performed in 10 cases and 2 cases received two-level replacement. Operation time of the single-level surgery averaged 130+/-50 min and the time of two-level surgery was 165+/-53 min on average (from skin incision to skin suturing). Neurological or vascular complications during or after surgery was not observed. Japanese Orthopedic Association scores (JOA scores) increased from 8.6 to 15.8 on average. There was no prothesis subsidence or excursion. Replaced segments were stable and the range of motion was partially restored, being 4.68 degrees (3.6 degrees -6.1 degrees ) in flexion and extension position and 3.51 degrees (2.5 degrees -4.6 degrees ), 3.42 degrees (2.6 degrees -4.3 degrees ) in left and right bending position. No obvious loss of physiological curvature was noted. CT or MRI follow-up showed that excursion was less than 1.5 mm) in 2 of 14 levels and between 1.5 mm and 3 mm) in 1 of 14 levels. No ossification in the replaced levels was observed. It is concluded that satisfactory short-term results were achieved in the 12 cases of artificial disc replacements. Different from anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, the replacement could achieve quick functional recovery and did not lead to the movement limitation of cervical vertebrae. At least a 5-years follow-up was needed to assess the long-term effect of the prosthesis on its neighboring segments.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the main complications in patients with traumatic fractures, and for severe patients, the DVT can even affect arterial blood supply, resulting in insufficient limb blood supply. If the thrombus breaks off, pulmonary embolism may occur, with a high mortality. The treatment and rehabilitation strategies of thrombosis in patients with lower extremity fractures have its particularity. DVT in traumatic fractures patients has attracted extensive attention and been largely studied, and the measures for prevention and treatment of DVT are constantly developing. In recent years, a series of thrombosis prevention and treatment guidelines have been updated at home and abroad, but there are still many doubts about the prevention and treatment of DVT in patients with different traumatic fractures. Accordingly, on the basis of summarizing the latest evidence-based medical evidence at home and abroad and the clinical experience of the majority of experts, the authors summarize the clinical treatment and prevention protocols for DVT in patients with traumatic fractures, and make this consensus on the examination and assessment, treatment, prevention and preventive measures for DVT in patients with different fractures so as to provide a practicable approach suitable for China ′s national conditions and improve the prognosis and the life quality of patients.

Delayed diabetic wound healing has placed an enormous burden on society. The key factors limiting wound healing include unresolved inflammation and impaired angiogenesis. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel, a popular biomaterial in the field of regeneration, has limited applications due to its non-injectable properties and rapid release and degradation of growth factors. Here, we prepared an injectable hydrogel (DPLG) based on PRP and laponite by a simple one-step mixing method. Taking advantages of the non-covalent interactions, DPLG could overcome the limitations of PRP gels, which is injectable to fill irregular injures and could serve as a local drug reservoir to achieve the sustained release of growth factors in PRP and deferoxamine (an angiogenesis promoter). DPLG has an excellent ability in accelerating wound healing by promoting macrophage polarization and angiogenesis in a full-thickness skin defect model in type I diabetic rats and normal rats. Taken together, this study may provide the ingenious and simple bioactive wound dressing with a superior ability to promote wound healing.

Objective    To assess the efficacy of lymphadenectomy in different regions for esophageal squamous cell carcinomas located differently according to the lymph node grouping by Chinese expert consensus. Methods    The medical records of 1 061 patients (886 males and 175 females with a median age of 60 (54, 65) years with esophageal cancer from March 2011 to December 2017 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the pathological report, the lymph nodes were regrouped according to the Chinese lymph nodes grouping standard of esophageal cancer. The metastasis rate of each group of lymph nodes, the 5-year survival rate of metastatic patients and efficacy index (EI) were calculated. Results    The upper thoracic esophageal cancer mainly metastasized to the lymph nodes of C201-203 groups. The middle and lower thoracic tumors mainly metastasized to the lymph nodes of C205-207 groups. The lower thoracic tumor had a higher rate of metastasis to the abdominal lymph nodes. According to the metastasis rate, the mediastinal lymph nodes were divided into three regions: an upper mediastinum (C201-204), a middle mediastinum (C205-206), and a lower mediastinum (C207-209). The EIs of lymph nodes of C201-203 and C205-207 groups were higher. For patients with C201-207 groups metastasis, the 5-year survival rates ranged from 13.39% to 21.60%. For patients with positive lymph nodes in each region, tumors at different primary locations had no statistical difference in long-term survival (P>0.05). Patients with lymph nodes of C205 group in the upper thoracic tumors had lower EI and those in the middle and lower thoracic tumors had higher EIs. Conclusion    The effect of lymph node dissection in each area varies with the location of the tumor. No matter where the tumor is, it is necessary to dissect the upper mediastinal lymph nodes, especially the lymph nodes adjacent to the left and right recurrent laryngeal nerves. Group C205 should be classified into the lower mediastinal lymph nodes.
