BACKGROUND:Core decompression and autogenous bone grafts are widely used in treatment of early avascular necrosis of femoral head. According to the report, the success rate of this therapy has obvious difference;the reasons may be related to inaccurate puncture location and secondary damnification of repeated puncture. OBJECTIVE:To reconstruct three-dimensional model of femoral head necrosis by Mimics software for reappearance of lesions in the necrotic area to realize measurement of necrotic area of the femoral head and estimation of its volume. METHODS:We restructured images by using multi-slice spiral CT Syngommvvp VE23A workstation, Inspace software and NeuroDSA software. Hip CT data in DICOM format were imported into Mimics 13.0 software systems. Necrotic area of the femoral head was reconstructed with Mimics SimuIation software to truly reproduce the integrated form, scope and stereochemical structure of the necrotic area so as to achieve the measurement of the necrotic area of the femoral head and the volume estimation. We designed the best core decompression channel, simulated core decompression surgery, so that the patients could refer to the best simulated decompression path in the operation of core decompression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Among 36 patients (48 hips) with avascular necrosis of femoral head, there were phase I in 8 hips, accounting for 17%, phase II in 28 hips, accounting for 58%, and phase III in 12 hips, accounting for 25%. (2) The volume of necrotic area was (1 475.48±647.342) mm3 in the phase I, (4 571.77±2 344.55) mm3 in the phase II, and (4 836.46±2 969.33) mm3 in the phase III. (3) We simulated the core decompression based on the radius of the sphere of the necrotic area as parameter in the Mimics Simulation software module, and then completely cleared the necrotic area. (4) Surgery can more clearly understand information and stereochemical structure of the necrotic area with Mimics software to simulate the core decompression. It is the theoretical basis of operation.

BACKGROUND:Perioperative treatment of emergency liver transplantation for acute hepatic failure is extremely different from common liver transplantation, due to complex conditions, high risk, several complications, and high mortality. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the experience of emergency liver transplantation for acute hepatic failure during the perioperative period, and to increase the success rate in treatment of acute hepatic failure. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was undertaken on the clinical data of 38 cases undergone emergency liver transplantation for acute hepatic failure. There were 21 male and 17 female, who aged 15-69 years. Among them, 23 cases had hepatitis B virus (including 2 cases with hepatitis B and C virus), 7 cases had Wilsons disease, 3 cases had mushroom poisoning, 2 cases had unknown liver damage, 1 case had Tripterygium wilfordi poisoning, 1 case had decompensation after partial liver resection due to trauma, and 1 case had liver transplantation from corpse. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The survival time of the involve patients was 13-1 740 days, and the median survival time was 634 days. Perioperative survival rate was 76%, 1-year survival rate was 63%, and 2-year survival rate was 58%. During the perioperation nine cases died of brain edema and intracranial hypertension, renal failure, severe pulmonary infection, multiple organ failure, coagulation disorders (intracranial hemorrhage, upper digestive tract hemorrhage), acute respiratory distress syndrome and primary graft non-function. At present, emergency liver transplantation is stil the most effective way for acute liver failure. Hemorrhage, infection and rejection are the leading causes of the death. Each perioperative treatment is of great significance for the success of liver transplantation and long-term survival.

BACKGROUND: Adipokines are secreted by adipose tissue, including a series of cytokines and chemokines. Additionally, adipokines have been found to play certain roles in pro- and anti-inflammatory regulation. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the regulatory effect of various adipokines in the inflammatory process of autoimmune response and immune diseases, thus providing the strategy for controlling and treating autoimmune diseases and searching effective indexes for assessing disease development, incidence of complications and prognosis. METHODS: CNKI and PubMed databases were retrieved for the articles addressing the role of adipokines in autoimmune diseases published from 1986 to 2016 using the keywords of adipokine, autoimmune in English and Chinese, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Adipose tissue plays a critical role in metabolism regulation, and its effect on the immune system has emerged through a series of studies concerning adipokines regulating immune response. Adipokines exert various functions, and regulate metabolism and inflammation. In the development and occurrence of autoimmune diseases, some factors for immune responses remain unclear, and in-depth studies on adipokines will be helpful for lifting the veil of autoimmune diseases.
