BACKGROUND:Bone cement has certain toxic effects on the human body. The probability of renovation is high after bone cement total hip arthroplasty. It is reported that the long-term effect of cementless total hip arthroplasty is apparently better than bone cement total hip arthroplasty, and can be renovated conveniently. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effect of cementless total hip arthroplasty on hip joint disease, and to compare the difference between unilateral replacement and bilateral replacement. METHODS: Clinical and folow-up data of 233 patients (280 hips), who were treated with cementless total hip arthroplasty in the Department of Orthopedics, Wuzhou Worker’s Hospital, Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from July 2007 to December 2013, were retrospectively analyzed. According to the replacement program, they were divided into unilateral replacement group (n=186) and bilateral replacement group (n=47). Harris score of hip joint, visual analog scale score of thigh pain, the excelent and good rate of hip joint during final folow-up and complications were compared between the two groups before replacement, at 6, 12 and 24 months after replacement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No significant difference in Harris scores was detected before replacement, at 6, 12 and 24 months after replacement (P > 0.05). Harris score was significantly higher at 6, 12 and 24 months after replacement compared with that before replacement in both groups (P < 0.05). No significant difference in the excelent and good rate was detected in the unilateral replacement group (87%) and the bilateral replacement group (86%) (P > 0.05). No significant difference in the visual analog scale score was seen before replacement, at 6, 12 and 24 months after replacement (P > 0.05). Visual analog scale scores were significantly lower at 6, 12 and 24 months after replacement than that before replacement in the two groups (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications after replacement in patients of both groups (P > 0.05). These findings confirm that the effects of cementless total hip arthroplasty for hip joint disease are evident, can effectively restore hip joint function. No significant difference was detected between unilateral replacement and bilateral replacement. Strict replacement operation and matching of prosthesis and medulary cavity can effectively reduce thigh pain after replacement.

Objective To survey the dietary iodine intake among residents in the coastal province of Fujian after universal salt iodization. Methods Using multi-stage stratified random sampling method, four different geographic areas of coastal cities, inland cities, coastal rural and inland rural areas were selected; 3 counties (cities, districts) were selected from each area; 30 families were selected from each of those counties (cities, districts). Total dietary study method was applied to investigate the basic information, all food and water intake during the investigation, the spice variety, quantity and cooking methods, and recipes. All foods consumed were divided into 13 classes:grains and their products, beans(including nuts) and their products, potato and its products, meat and its products, eggs and their products, aquatic products, milk and dairy products, vegetables, fruits and their products, sugar and sugar products, beverage and water, alcohol and seaweeds. Food samples were collected and iodine contents of different types of food were measured, and daily food consumption of the reference man(adult male) in the four areas was calculated. Then the male adult dietary iodine intake in the four areas and Fujian Province was estimated. Results A total of 69 families(accounting for 19.2% of the 359 families surveyed) ate seaweed foods during the three days survey period. The average salt intakes per reference man were 4.5, 5.8, 7.5, 12.3 g, respectively, in coastal cities, inland cities, coastal rural and inland rural. The adult male dietary iodine intake in Fujian Province was 343.8μg/d, and the values were 234.4, 347.1, 328.4, 465.3μg/d, respectively, in coastal cities, coastal rural, inland cities and inland rural. If people did not eat seaweed foods, the results would be 239.7, 137.5, 253.6, 200.3, 367.4μg/d. The main sources of dietary iodine intake were vegetables (33.2%), seaweeds(30.3%), meat(13.4%) and aquatic products(13.0%). If people did not eat seaweed foods, the results would be vegetables(47.6%), meat(19.1%) and aquatic products(18.7%), and iodine contribution rate of the 3 types of food was 85.4%. Conclusions Under the conditions of eating iodized salt, male adult dietary iodine intake is appropriate in different areas of Fujian Province. There is no such problem as iodine excessive. Iodized salt is the main source of dietary iodine. Residents in coastal city, if not eating seaweed foods, will be at risk of iodine deficiency, even if they eat iodized salt.

Objective:The iodine excretion of adult individuals was calculated by two creatinine correction methods of urinary iodine, and the significance and value of the methods to measure individual iodine nutrition levels were assessed to provide a reference basis for further epidemiological investigation and study of iodine deficiency disorders.Methods:Healthy adults aged 18 - 59 years from Fujian Province were recruited and their 24 h urine, fasting urine, and morning spot urine (8:00 - 12:30) were collected and the corresponding urinary iodine and creatinine concentrations were measured. The estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion was calculated using two different creatinine correction and creatinine estimation formulas were compared with the measured 24 h urinary iodine excretion.Results:There were no significant differences in measured 24 h urinary iodine excretion value, estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion value 1 of fasting urine and morning spot urine, and estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 2 of fasting urine and morning spot urine between genders (μg/d: 195.5 vs 190.9, 190.0 vs 181.7, 160.2 vs 144.2, 174.8 vs 179.2, 148.3 vs 131.5); there were no significant differences in measured 24 h urinary iodine excretion and fasting urinary estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 1, estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 2 ( P > 0.05), and there were significant differences in measured 24 h urinary iodine excretion and morning spot urinary estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 1, estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 2 ( P < 0.01). And there were significant linear correlations between measured 24 h urinary iodine excretion and estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 1 of fasting urine and morning spot urine, estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion 2 of fasting urine and morning spot urine ( r = 0.772, 0.266, 0.828, 0.391, P < 0.01). Conclusions:It is feasible to estimate 24 h urinary iodine excretion in adults with creatinine-corrected fasting urinary iodine concentration. Creatinine-corrected fasting urinary iodine concentration can be used as an individual iodine nutrition level evaluation index, but whether it is applicable to children and pregnant women remains to be further studied.
