Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum interleukin-6(IL-6),C-reactive protein(CRP) and procalcitonin(PCT) in early diagnosis of postoperative infection after artificial femoral head replacement in rabbits.Methods Selected 64 healthy New Zealand white rabbits,and randomly divided them into the experimental group and the control group,with 32 cases in each group.All of the 64 rabbits underwent left femoral hip replacement.Rabbits in the experimental group were injected with staphylococcus aureus into the left hip joint immediately after artificial femoral head replacement,while rabbits in control group were injected with the same amount of saline.The changes of IL-6,CRP and PCT in synovial fluid of all rabbits were measured.Took synovial fluid and 3 pieces of synovial membrane to make bacterial culture 9 days after surgery.Results The bacterial culture of the experimental group was positive for staphylococcus aureus while it was negative in the control group.One day after surgery,the levels of IL-6,CRP and PCT in synovial fluid of two groups were significantly higher than those before operation(P<0.05),but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The levels of IL-6,CRP and PCT in the synovial fluid of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group at the 3rd,6th and 9th day after operation(P<0.05).There was a significant increase in IL-6,CRP and PCT levels in the two groups at the first and 3rd day after operation(P<0.05).At 6th days after operation,the levels of IL-6,CRP and PCT in synovial fluid of experimental group continued to increase(P<0.05),and they began to decrease in the control group (P<0.05).PCT gradually restored preoperative level at 6th days after operation(P>0.05),and IL-6 and CRP gradually restored preoperative level at 9th days after operation(P>0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of IL-6,CRP and PCT combined test were 96.9% and 90.6% respectively,which were significantly higher than those of individual indexes.Conclusion Combined detection of serum IL-6,CRP and PCT levels in the infection model of artificial femoral head replacement can provide some help for the early diagnosis of infection after clinical hip arthroplasty.

Objective To explore the feasibility and validity of laparoscopic choledochotomy and choledochoscopy for treament of patients with acute pancreatitis accompanying commom bile duct stones. Methods A total of 102 patients acute pancreatitis accompanying common bile duct gall stones were treated in our institution between January 2007 and November 2009. Among them, 43 patients underwent laparoscopic choledochotomy and choledochoscopy within 72h after admission entered our study group. They all had a laparscopic cholecystectomy and choleldochotomy and choledochoscopy to retrieve common bile duct stones. Of these, 13 patients undergoing pancreatic capsule incision and peritoneal lavage. Fifty-nine patients undergoing traditional conservative treatment firstly were used as a control group. Of these, 46 were performed laparscopic surgery and choledochotomy after smoothly recovery from pancreatitis. 13 underwent emergency open operation due to complications of pancreatitis. Results In the gastrointestinal function recovery time, amylase recovery time, length of stay and hospitalization cost, there was a significant difference between study group and the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Our study provides evidence for the good clinical efficacy of early implementation of laparoscopic choledochotomy and choledochoscope for treatment of choledocholithiasis and acute pancreatitis.
