OBJECTIVEThis study aims to conduct a survey of the oral health status of disabled individuals in Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province. This study was also conducted to prepare caries prevention planning in the region.
METHODSOn the basis of the Oral Health Surveys: Basic Methods of WHO and the Third National Oral Health Epidemiological Sample Survey Scheme, we investigated caries infecting disabled individuals who live in one big city (Xichang city), three counties (Bhutto county, Muli Tibetan autonomous county, and Huili county), and 46 towns and villages of Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province, by multi-stage stratified and cluster sampling.
RESULTSAmong 3,439 disabled individuals, 2,085 were males and 1,354 were females; among these individuals, 815 live in the city and 2,624 live in rural areas. Furthermore, 2,177 were Han natives and 1,262 were Yi natives (ethnic). The caries prevalence rate and mean DMFT of disabled individuals in Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province were 87.1% and 9.53, respectively. In Yi, the caries prevalence rate and mean DMFT of disabled individuals in Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province were 85.8% and 9.93, respectively; in Han, the caries prevalence rate and mean DMFT of disabled individuals in Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province were 87.9% and 9.29, respectively. No significant difference was found in the two groups of native (P > 0.05). A very low filling rate of 0.2% was also recorded.
CONCLUSIONDisabled individuals from Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province exhibited a high prevalence of caries in permanent teeth. The oral health status of this special group of disabled individuals should be provided intensive care.

This study evaluated the clinical effect of impaction bone graft and distal press-fit fixation for the reconstruction of severe femoral bone defect in revision total hip arthroplasty. A total of 234 patients (involving 236 hips) with Paprosky III and IV femoral bone defects were treated with the revision total hip arthroplasty from June 1998 to Aug. 2006. Impaction bone graft technique was used for 112 hips, with allogeneic freeze-dried bone as bone graft and SPII as prosthesis. With 124 hips, modular distal press-fit fixation and tapered femoral stem (MP stem) were employed. After the operation, the subjects were followed up on regular basis and results were assessed by using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Radiolucence, subsidence and loosening were observed and complications, including infection, fracture, dislocation etc. were recorded. A 6-14-year follow-up showed that prostheses failed, due to infection, in 4 patients of impaction bone graft group and that 6 patients in the press-fit fixation group experienced prosthesis failure, with the survival rates for the two techniques being 96.43% and 95.16%, respectively. One-way ANOVA showed that prosthesis survival was significantly associated with surgery-related complications (P<0.05) and was not related to the type of the bone defects (P>0.05). The rate of complications bore significant association with the type of bone defects in the two groups (P<0.05). Our study showed that the two revision methods could achieve satisfactory mid-term and long-term results for the reconstruction of severe bone defects. It is of great significance for attaining high prosthesis survival rate to select suitable operation on the basis of the type of bone defect. Careful operative manipulation and post-operative rehabilitation aimed at reducing complications are also important.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference of anterior knee pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between the ways using periosteal dissector and electric scalpel to release medial collateral ligament and pes anserinus.
METHODSFrom September 2009 to September 2012, 220 patients with unilateral osteoarthritis were treated with primary TKA in hospital 301. All the patients were randomly divided into periosteal dissector group (110 cases) or electric scalpel group (110 cases). In the periosteal dissector group, there were 47 males and 63 females,with an average age of (58.8 +/- 17.2) years old; the degree of genuavarus was (14.0 +/- 3.5) degrees; the weight was (65.6 +/- 12.8) kg; the body mass index (BMI) was (26.6 +/- 3.6) kg/m2. In the electric scalpel group,there were 49 males and 61 females,with an average age of (59.6 +/- 16.7) years old;the degree of genuavarus was (15.0 +/- 4.7) degrees; the weight was (66.4 +/- 13.4) kg; the BMI was (27.4 +/- 4.1) kg/m2. The mean follow-up period was 24.6 months. The AKS, VAS and HSS were used to evaluate clinical results.
RESULTSAll incisions healed at the first stage;no deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs or pulmonary embolism occurred. Knee infection occurred in 3 cases (1 in the periosteal dissector group and 2 in the electric scalpel group), and the 3 patients received stage 2 total knee revision using antibiotic bone cement and TC3 prosthesis. No recurrence of infection occurred during follow-up. Among the 20 patients who had anterior knee pain, 16 patients were in the periosteal dissector group and 4 patients were in the electric scalpel group. The occurrence rate of anterior knee pain in the electric scalpel group was lower than that in the periosteal dissector group. The AKS knee score and HSS score after total knee arthroplasty in the electric scalpel group were all higher than those in the periosteal dissector group, and the VAS in electric scalpel group was lower than that of periosteal dossector group.
CONCLUSIONCompared with using electric scalpel,using periosteal dissector used to release medial collateral ligament and pes anserinus may cause more anterior knee pain after total knee arthroplasty.

OBJECTIVETo study the efficiency of decreasing instability of large femoral head components in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA).
METHODSFrom August 2005 to December 2010, 107 patients (112 hips) with 28 mm femoral head components (28 mm group) and 46 patients (46 hips) with 36 mm femoral head components (36 mm group) in revision THA were analyzed retrospectively in order to find if the dislocation rate and Harris hip score were different between the two groups at the time of last follow-up. All the operations were performed by the first author. There were 81 male patients (85 hips) and 26 female patients (27 hips) in 28 mm group with mean age of (62±17) years (26-79 years) and 33 male patients (33 hips) and 13 female patients (13 hips) in 36 mm group with mean age of (60±16) years (31-77 years).
RESULTSThe mean follow-up period was 43.3 months (33-71 months) for 28 mm group and 26.7 months (12-37 months) for 36 mm group. There were 7 patients dislocated after revision in 28 mm group, including 2 revised with reinforcement rings (with dislocation rate 9.5%), 3 revised with impaction bone grafting technique (with dislocation rate 8.3%) and 2 revised with cementless cups (with a dislocation rate 3.6%). The dislocation rate of this group was 6.2%. While the dislocation rate of 36 mm group was 2.2%, the only dislocated patient was because of loss of gluteus medius muscle function in the index operation. If this case was excluded, the dislocation rate of 36 mm group would be 0. There was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=103.0095, P<0.01). The Harris hip score was 88±11 for 28 mm group and 89±9 for 36 mm group, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe large femoral head components can significantly decrease the instability after revision THA, which should be used in revision THA.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the efficacy of autogenous bone marrow injection and elastic intramedullary injection in the treatment of bone cyst in children.
METHODS:
From January 2012 to December 2016, 56 children with simple bone cyst were divided into two groups: autogenous bone marrow blood injection group and elastic intramedullary needle group. There were 28 cases in the autogenous bone marrow blood injection group, 16 boys and 12 girls, aged (7.7±1.9) years old, 10 cases of proximal humerus, 8 cases of proximal femur, 6 cases of proximal tibia and 4 cases of femoral shaft. In the elastic intramedullary needle group, there were 28 cases, 18 boys and 10 girls, aged(7.5±2.2) years old, 11 cases of proximal humerus, 7 cases of proximal femur, 5 cases of proximal tibia, 4 cases of femoral shaft and 1 case of distal femur. The treatment effect was evaluated by Capanna standard.
RESULTS:
All the patients were followed up, including 17 to 35(25.6±4.2) months in the elastic intramedullary needle group and 19 to 35(27.4±4.8) months in the autogenous marrow blood injection group. According to Capanna's evaluation standard of bone cyst, 27 patients in the elastic intramedullary needle group were treated effectively(25 patients cured, 2 patients healed but some remained lesions), 1 patients recurred, 0 patient had no response to treatment; 18 patients in the autogenous bone marrow blood injection group were treated effectively(13 patients cured, 5 patients healed but some remained lesions), 8 patients of cyst recurred, 2 patients had no response to treatment; the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(<0.01). The overall cure time was calculated by the follow-up of 25 cases in the elastic intramedullary injection group and 13 cases in the autogenous marrow blood injection group. The cure time was(20.2±3.5) months in the elastic intramedullary injection group and(27.7±4.9) months in the autogenous marrow blood injection group. The difference was statistically significant(<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
For the treatment of bone cyst in children, the therapeutic effect of elastic intramedullary needle is better than that of autogenous bone marrow blood injection, and the cure time is shorter.

This study aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes after silencing of β-catenin in multiple myeloma transduced with β-catenin shRNA. The DNA microarray dataset GSE17385 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus, including 3 samples of MM1.S (human multiple myeloma cell lines) cells transduced with control shRNA and 3 samples of MM1.S cells transduced with β-catenin shRNA. Then the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened by using Limma. Their underlying functions were analyzed by employing Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses. Moreover, DEGs annotation was conducted based on the databases of tumor associated genes, tumor suppressed genes and the transcriptional regulation from patterns to profiles. Furthermore, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) relationship was obtained from STRING and the protein-protein interaction network and the functional modules were visualized by Cytoscape. Then, the pathway enrichment for the DEGs in the functional module was performed. A total of 301 DEGs, including 124 up-regulated and 117 down-regulated DEGs, were screened. Functional enrichment showed that CCNB1 and CDK1 were significantly related to the function of cell proliferation. FOS and JUN were related to innate immune response-activating signal transduction. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated that CCNB1 and CDK1 were most significantly enriched in the pathway of cell cycle. Besides, FOS and JUN were significantly enriched in the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway. FOXM1 was identified as a transcription factor. Moreover, there existed interactions among CCNB1, FOXM1 and CDK1 in PPI network. The expression of FOS, JUN, CCNB1, FOXM1 and CDK1 may be affected by β-catenin in multiple myeloma.

An increasing number of studies have recently indicated the important effects of gut microbes on various functions of the central nervous system.However, the underlying mechanisms by which gut microbiota regulate brain functions and behavioral phenotypes remain largely unknown. We therefore used isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based quantitative proteomic analysis to obtain proteomic profiles of the hippocampus in germ-free (GF), colonized GF, and specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice. We then integrated the resulting proteomic data with previously reported mRNA microarray data, to further explore the effects of gut microbes on host brain functions. We identified that 61 proteins were upregulated and 242 proteins were downregulated in GF mice compared with SPF mice. Of these, 124 proteins were significantly restored following gut microbiota colonization. Bioinformatic analysis of these significant proteins indicated that the glucocorticoid receptor signaling pathway and inflammation-related pathways were the most enriched disrupted pathways. This study provides new insights into the pathological mechanisms of gut microbiota-regulated diseases.

Preoperative planning of corrective osteotomy with traditional radiography has limitations in regards to determining the ideal osteotomy location and orientation in three-dimensional femoral deformities. Though a successful operation can be planned preoperatively, intraoperative contingencies might adhere to the procedural plan in the performance of operation. To efficiently perform a planned procedure, proposed is a design to implement three-dimensional reconstruction photography, based on computer-tomography (CT) scan. A custom-made guide was designed to navigate the osteotomy as planned, and additionally, a personalized intramedullary nail was used for fixation after osteotomy. Three-dimensional (3D) photography of deformed femur was established based on the CT dataset and transferred into 3D photography processing software for further planning. Osteotomy planes were designed and adjusted at deformity sites to correct the 3D deformities. The methodology of a custom-made osteotomy guide was introduced in femoral corrective osteotomy, for the first time, to navigate the operation as planned. After the virtual osteotomy and reduction of bone segments, the parameters of a custom-made intramedullary nail were measured for manufacturing. Findings Virtual operation in computer shows complete correction of the 3D deformity. The osteotomy guide, obtained by rapid-prototyping techniques, navigates mimicking surgery on rapid-prototyping model of the involved femur as planned. Internal fixation was achieved using the custom-made intramedullary nail. Interpretation three-dimensional visualization introduces an advantage in preoperative planning for corrective osteotomy of 3D femoral deformity, and the custom-made osteotomy guide is crucial to realize such a deliberate plan during the actual procedures. The internal fixator, such as an intramedullary nail, can be modified or personalized for fixation in unique cases.
