OBJECTIVE: To present our experience of manipulation under general anesthesia for treating postoperative hip joint stiffness in children.METHODS: 193 children (226 hips) with postoperative joint stiffness were retrospectively studied at the Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Shengjing Hospital, China Medical University from January 1978 to December 2005, comprising 53 males and 140 females, aged 1-14 years old. 226 hips with postoperative stiffness from open reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) (155 cases with 188 hips) and capsulotomy for hip sepsis or tuberculosis (38 cases with 38 hips) were retrospectively reviewed. All patients laid on the surgical table supinately under general anesthesia. The assistant fixed the pelvic with palms. The operator manipulated the hip joint with 3 steps: flexed hip joint slowly and gently to 110°-120° or more; then abducted and externally rotated hip joint; adducted and internally rotated the hip. Then 3-step passive manipulation was repeated for once at least. As soon as the patient waked from general anesthesia, Continuous passive motion was applied for the affected hip with the range of motion increasing daily for 1-2 weeks. They were followed averagely 15 months (6-24 months) to evaluate the promoted range of motion in flextion-extension and adduction-abdduction.RESULTS: 186 hips (82.3%) succeeded in manipulation in addition to 34 failure hips (15%) and 6 hips (2.7%) with femoral neck fracture. The successful rate, promoted range of motion in group of ≤6-year-old and group of ≤12-month-duration from primary surgery were significantly higher, femoral neck fracture rate was less than those in group of >6 years of age and group of >12-month-duration from primary surgery.CONCLUSION: Passive manipulation under general anesthesia is a safe, uninvasive and effective method in treating postoperative hip stiffness in children. Younger age (≤6 years) and less duration from the primary surgery (≤12 months) would yield better result.

This study was aimed to optimize the extraction process of hyperoside from leaves ofAcanthopanax senticosusby compounding-enzyme method and orthogonal experiment. The hyperoside compound was regarded as standard and determined by HPLC. Based on the experiments of 4 factors including the enzyme amount, temperature, extraction time and PH values, the extraction process of hyperoside was determined by the orthogonal experiments and variance analysis. The results of single-factor experiments showed that different enzymes showed different effects on the enhance yield of hyperoside. The effects of different factors showed that the order of PH, neutral protease, temperature, time, pectinase, xylanase and cellulose was from strong to weak. Through orthogonal analysis, the optimum conditions were 2% pectinase, 2% xylanase, 0.5% neutral protease, and 0.5% cellulose, under the temperature of 30°C, extraction time of 10 min, and pH = 4.5. Under these conditions, the extraction rate was 1.84%. The yield was increased 107% compared with traditional process. It was concluded that the use of compounding enzyme can increase the yield of hyperoside, which possessed a lot of economic benefits.

PURPOSE: Cathepsin K is a potent collagenase implicated in human and animal atherosclerosis-based vascular remodeling. This study examined the hypothesis that serum CatK is associated with the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2011 and December 2012, 256 consecutive subjects were enrolled from among patients who underwent coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention treatment. A total of 129 age-matched subjects served as controls. RESULTS: The subjects' serum cathepsin K and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured. The patients with CAD had significantly higher serum cathepsin K levels compared to the controls (130.8+/-25.5 ng/mL vs. 86.9+/-25.5 ng/mL, p<0.001), and the patients with acute coronary syndrome had significantly higher serum cathepsin K levels compared to those with stable angina pectoris (137.1+/-26.9 ng/mL vs. 102.6+/-12.9 ng/mL, p<0.001). A linear regression analysis showed that overall, the cathepsin K levels were inversely correlated with the high-density lipoprotein levels (r=-0.29, p<0.01) and positively with hs-CRP levels (r=0.32, p<0.01). Multiple logistic regression analyses shows that cathepsin K levels were independent predictors of CAD (odds ratio, 1.76; 95% confidence interval, 1.12 to 1.56; p<0.01). CONCLUSION: These data indicated that elevated levels of cathepsin K are closely associated with the presence of CAD and that circulating cathepsin K serves a useful biomarker for CAD.

Objective:Comparison of four methods in intraoperative abduction angles (AA) measurements of human cast immobilization in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) by visual inspection and electronic software according to different body surface markers.Methods:Data were retrospectively collected from January 2019 to November 2021 in a total of 27 patients (54 hips) who underwent closed or simple open reduction. There were 6 males and 21 females with an average age of 13.2 months. Five doctors used visual inspection and mobile phone software to measure the AA of the hip joint immediately during the operation, and compared with the postoperative MRI measurement results (AA-MRI). The four methods of intraoperative measurement were: Junior visualization (AA-JV), the intersection angle between the line connecting the center of the popliteal fossa and the contact center of the plaster frame and the line connecting the two ischial tuberosities; the same methods as method one by Senior visualization (AA-SV); the intersection angle between the line connecting the center of the popliteal fossa and the center of the anus and the line connecting the ischial tubercle (anus-popliteal, AA-AP); the intersection of the vertical line between the center of the popliteal fossa and the groin and the horizontal line of the center of the anus and the vertical line connecting the two ischial tuberosities intersect (anus-groin crease-popliteal, AA-AGCP). The t-test, correlation coefficient, linear regression and Bland-Altman test were used to evaluate the measurements. Results:Comparing the four intraoperative and postoperative AA-MRI measurement methods, AA-JV (42.69°±4.13°) < AA-SV (44.80°±4.08°) < AA-AGCP (46.25°±5.15°) < AA-MRI (47.68°±4.21°) < AA-AP (51.77°±5.30°), and the difference between AA-JV and AA-SV, AA-AP and AA-AGCP was statistically significant ( t=2.53, P=0.013; t=5.47, P=0.001), there was no significant difference between AA-AGCP and AA-MRI ( t=1.57, P=0.118). The inter-group agreement of the five methods ICC test ranged from 0.807 to 0.892, and the intra-group average agreement of AA-MRI was 0.948. All ICC results were greater than 0.75 with good agreement. Linear regression results showed that the four intraoperative measurement methods had a good or moderate linear relationship with AA-MRI, AA-AGCP ( R 2=0.499)>AA-AP ( R 2=0.318)>AA-SV ( R 2=0.253)>AA-JV ( R 2=0.217), AA-AGCP was the best measurement method. The results of Bland-Altman scatterplot of AA-AGCP and AA-MRI were in good agreement, the mean and standard deviation of bias were -0.796±3.247, and the limit of agreement was 95% LoA (-7.16, -5.57). Conclusion:The AA method of visualization before Spica casting was smaller than truth. The method AA-AGCP objectively by landmarks was the advocated means measuring abduction angle during operation with highly consistency, agreement and easily performed.
