Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of combined treatment of comminuted inferior pole patellar fracture with micro-plate and tension-band wire.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted in 50 patients with comminuted inferior pole patellar fracture (AO classification of type 34-A1) admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from October 2018 to October 2020, including 28 males and 22 females, aged 17-77 years[(51.4±11.5)years]. A total of 23 patients were treated with micro-plate combined with tension-band wire (Group A) and 27 patients were treated with cable wire looping combined with tension-band wire (Group B). Fracture union, union time and last follow-up evaluation of knee range of motion and Bostman score were compared between the two groups. Complications (infection, internal fixation failure, internal fixation irritation, etc.) were also observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-18 months[(14.1±2.1) months]. All patients had bone union, with no statistical difference between Group A[(9.9±1.8)weeks]and Group B[(10.3±1.4)weeks]in union time ( P>0.05). Knee range of motion was (129.2±9.7)° in Group A at the last follow-up, better than (122.3±11.0)° in Group B ( P<0.05). Knee Bostman score was (27.6±1.8)points in Group A, showing no statistical difference from that in Group B[(26.8±1.9)points]( P>0.05). There were no postoperative complications in Group A. Two patients with tension band shedding of Kirschner wire after fracture healing were found in Group B, with no special treatment given due to no obvious discomfort. Conclusions:For comminuted inferior pole patellar fracture, micro-plate combined with tension-band wire is more effective and provides better knee mobility with no complications of implant failure as compared with cable wire looping combined with tension-band wire. Therefore, the technique deserves clinical promotion.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of programmed cell death 10(PDCD10)mediating glioma migration.Methods A PDCD10-silenced glioma cell line(U251)was constructed by siRNA,and the cells were treated with Okadaic Acid(OA),a protein phosphatase 2A(PP2A)phosphatase inhibitor,to investigate the effect of down-regulation of PDCD10 on the behavior of U251 cells;Western Blot(WB)was applied to detect the expression of PDCD10,PP2A,PP2Ac-307,p38 and pP38 in the control group and PDCD10 down-regulation group of U251 cells,to study the mechanism of PDCD10 regulation of PP2A/p38 signaling.Results Down-regulation of PDCD10 in U251 cells promoted the cells migration(P<0.05),which could be inhibited by PP2A phosphatase inhibitor OA(P<0.01).Further studies showed that down-regulation of PDCD10 promoted glioma cell migration via modulating the phosphorylation of PP2A,which in turn altered the activity of p38(P<0.01).Conclusion PDCD10 may mediate glioma cell migration by regulating PP2A/p38 signaling.
