OBJECTIVETo investigate the applications of percutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures and its related surgical considerations.
METHODSFrom June 2010 to June 2012,19 patients with pelvic fractures were treated with percutaneous hollow screws. There were 13 males and 6 females, with an average age of 41 years (ranged from 22 to 58 years). Fractures were caused by traffic accidents in 11 cases, by falling down from high place in 8 cases. Based on the Tile classification, there were 15 cases of Tile C type and 4 case of Tile B type. The indexes such as screw inserting time, intraoperative blood loss, complications, functional recovery and reduction conditions were observed. Fixation methods included sacroiliac screws, cannulated screw fixation of the pubic ramus and cannulated screw fixation of the pubic symphysis separation.
RESULTSAnatomical reduction achieved in 7 cases, satisfactory reduction 11 cases, and unsatisfactory reduction 1 case. Union time of fracture union ranged from 8 to 12 weeks (mean 10 weeks). Wound infection,ununion of fracture and nerve injuries were not found. According to the Majeed standards, 12 patients obtained an excellent results, 6 good and 1 fair.
CONCLUSIONPercutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures under fluoroscopy has several advantages such as less trauma, less blood loss, fewer rates of complications, reliable fixation and no blood transfusion, which can reconstruct the stability of the pelvic ring, but it needs adequate preoperative preparation and high requirements for the surgeon.

BACKGROUND: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a special type of cells with self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential, which can differentiate into intestinal organoids under certain conditions. OBJECTIVE: To explore whether iPSCs can differentiate into intestinal organoids under specific conditions in vitro.METHODS: iPSCs from B6J mice were recovered and cultured for 3 days until clone units covered about 80% of the culture dish, and then the cells were cultured in the medium containing Activin A for 3 days until the deterministic endoderm formed. Further, the culture medium was replaced by the medium with fibroblast growth factor 4 and Wnt3A for 4 days to differentiate into the spheroids with CDX2+. After that, spheroids were collected and mixed with Matrigel,and then the mixture was dropped into the 4-well plate and cultured with Rspondin1, Noggin, epidermal growth factor, B27 and other growth factors to differentiate into intestinal organoids. Cell morphology was observed, FoxA2 and Sox17 expresson in the deterministic endoderm was detected, and CDX2, Sox9, CGA, MMP7 were measured.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: iPSCs were cultured with Activin A for 3 days with higher cell fusion, initial differentiation and FoxA2/Sox17 expression (P < 0.05) than those of non-induced iPSCs. Spheroids began to appear at the 3rd day after culture with fibroblast growth factor 4 and WNT3A, and formed a lot at the 4th day. And CDX2 expression in spheroids was significantly increased compared with that in the deterministic endoderm (P < 0.05). Organoids gradually formed after 3 days culture, which contained all cell types of intestinal organoids, and expressions of specific markers, Sox9, CGA, MMP7, were significantly higher than those in spheroids (P < 0.05). To conclude, iPSCs can be induced to differentiate into intestinal organoids in three-dimensional niche in vitro.
