Objective To evaluate the safety of CT guided percutaneous lung biopsy in the elderly,and to analyze the risk factors for its complications.Methods Totally 204 elderly patients aged ≥65 years underwent transthoracic needle biopsy under CT guidance.Clinical data,complication and its risk factors were analyzed retrospectively.Results The complications included pneumothorax accounting for 15.2％ (31/204),hemoptysis 21.6％ (44/204),and no mortality was found.Logistic regression analysis showed that needle path ≥5.00 cm,lesion size ≤2.00 cm and emphysema around the lesion were the independent risk factors for postoperative pneumothorax (OR=4.05,2.54 and 3.97,all P＜0.05).Meanwhile,the enhancement degree by CT ＞40 HU,needle path ≥5.00 cm and lesion size ≤2.00 cm were the independent risk factors for postoperative bleeding (OR=2.27,2.82 and 2.33,all P＜0.05) in elderly patients undergoing lung biopsy.The sensitivity and specificity for postoperative pneumothorax and bleeding obtained by forecasting equation were 87.1％ and 49.1％,54.5％ and 80.8％ respectively.Conclusions The length of needle path,lesion size and emphysema around the lesion are correlated with pneumothroax,and length of needle path,lesion size and the CT enhancement degree are correlated with bleeding after percutaneous lung biopsy in the elderly.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the short-term clinical effects of the two-stage cementless total hip arthroplasty in the treatment of chronic infection after the internal fixation of the adult proximal femoral fracture.Methods From June 2006 to June 2011,9 patients who had suffered a chronic infection after an internal fixation of the proximal femoral fracture,including 8 males and 1 female,aged from 31 to 74 years (average,52.6 years),were treated with two-stage cementless total hip arthroplasty.There were 3 cases of femoral neck fracture,and 6 cases of intertrochanteric fracture.In the first stage,after surgical debridement and thorough removal of all the implants,an antibiotic-loaded cement spacer was implanted.All patients postoperatively underwent intravenous and oral antibiotics,and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were tested.When the values of ESR and CRP become normal,the second stage operation using cementless components was performed.Results The presence of infection was confirmed by a positive culture of joint fluid obtained intraoperatively in two cases;one case was staphylococcus aureus and another one was staphylococcus epidermidis.The second stage arthroplasty was performed 6-14 months (average,9 months) after the first stage operation.All 9 patients were followed up for an average of 23.2 months (range,6 to 50 months).No recurrent infection,component loosening,bone osteolysis and cement spacer or component dislocation occurred.The Harris score improved from 74.6 (range,64 to 86) before the first stage operation to 90.9 (range,86 to 97) at the final follow-up.Conclusion The two-stage cementless total hip arthroplasty is an effective strategy for the treatment of chronic infection after the internal fixation of the adult proximal femoral fracture.

Objective To evaluate the results of using focus clearance and morselized bone graft to treat a well-fixed socket osteolysis after total hip arthroplasty (THA) during cementless acetabular revisions.Methods From March 2006 to March 2009, 23 patients (23 hips) who had an acetabular revision hip arthroplasty of well-fixed socket for osteolysis were retrospectively reviewed, including 13 males and 10 females with an average age of 46.6 years (range, 39-54), and the mean interval from primary to revision THA was 5.5 years (range, 4.6-7.4). The preoperative Harris hip score was 74. The operative technique included debridement of soft tissues with removal of granulomata and packed tightly with morselized cancellous allograft through ilioinguinal approach, and exchanging the liner and femoral head through the posterior-lateral approach of the hip. Results The mean duration of follow-up after revision was 28 months (range, 8-38). At final follow-up, all hip were functioning well and the average Harris hip score was 93.8. Osteogenesis in bone graft were well-developed in 16 patients. Twelve bone grafts were completely incorporated into surrounding bone through creeping substitution. All acetabular components remain radiographically well-fixed and no loosening and shifting. There were no new osteolytic lesions, ectopic ossification, deep venous thrombosis, hip dislocation or infection during follow-up. Conclusion Our revision strategies included debridement and bone grafting, a revision of femoral heads and polyethylene liner and retention of the cups and femoral stems. The method can reduce the amount of the wear particle from polyethylene. The short-term outcome is excellent.

Anxiety is usually generated because of the threatened feeling. The data of electrocardio, respiration, blood volume pulse and skin conductance signals were collected. The arithmetic of Relief were used for the feature selection and combined with k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) arithmetic and Support Vector Machine (SVM) arithmetic for classification. The results show that the combination of Relief-SVM is better than combination of Relief-kNN on the recognition of anxiety state. The emotion recognition based on multi-physiological signals is superior to that based on one single signal.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the diagnosis and treatment of the extra-articular inflammatory pseudotumor after well-fixed metal-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods From March 2006 to June 2011,7 patients (7 hips) who presented with a progressive pain and/or swelling,discomfort in groin or upper thigh after metal-polyethylene THA were admitted to our hospital.There were 2 males and 5 females,with an average age of 48.8 years (range,32-65 years).All 7 patients were identified with a periprosthetic osteolysis at the acetabular and/or femoral components and a mass in the iliac fossa or the thigh; however,the components were all well-fixed.The masses were confirmed by CT scanning and/or ultrasound examination.The revision procedures were done through ilioinguinal approach and posterior-lateral approach,and the pseudotumors were excised and osteolytic lesions were debrided and packed tightly with morselized cancellous allograft.The liner and femoral head were also exchanged at the same time.Clinical and radiographic outcomes of revision THA were evaluated.Results All 7 patients were followed up for 3-42 months (average,30 months).At final follow-up,all hips were functioning well and the average Harris hip score was 92.4.All acetabular components remained radiographically well-fixed.All cavitary defects had complete radiographic incorporation of the bone grafts.There were no new pseudotumor or osteolytic lesions identified,and no revision of the components.Conclusion The presence of abdominal or pelvic pseudotumor in patient with a THA may be associated with polyethylene wear.Once the extra-articular pseudotumor and the periprosthetic osteolysis are identified,the surgical treatment,including pseudotumor excise,osteolytic lesion debride and bone defect grafting and bearing surface exchange,can achieve retention of well-fixed components.

In order to identify Peucedani Radix, Peucedani Decursivi Radix and their adulterants, the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) regions of Peucedani Radix, Peucedani Decursivi Radix and their adulterants were amplified and bidirectionally sequenced based on the Principles for Molecular Identification of Traditional Chinese Materia Medica Using DNA Barcoding, which has been promulgated by Chinese Pharmacopoeia Commission. Sequences were analyzed and assembled by Codon Code Aligner V3. 7.1. The relevant data were analyzed by MEGA 5. 0. Species identification analyses were performed by using the nearest distance methods and neighbor-joining (NJ) methods. The result showed that the ITS2 sequence lengths of Peucedani Radix were 229-230 bp and the average intra-specific genetic distances were 0.005. The ITS2 sequence lengths of Peucedani Decursivi Radix were 227 bp and the sequences contained no variation site. The average inter-specific K2P genetic distance of Peucedani Radix, Peucedani Decursivi Radix and their adulterants species were 0.044 and 0.065 respectively. The minimum inter-specific divergence is larger than the maximum intra-specific divergence of Peucedani Decursivi Radix. The nearest distance methods and NJ trees results indicated that Peucedani Radix, Peucedani Decursivi Radix and their adulterants species could be identification clearly. The ITS2 regions can stably and accurately distinguish Peucedani Radix, Peucedani Decursivi Radix and their adulterants.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of computer-aided acetabular evaluating and operation designing before total hip arthroplasty (THA) for Crowe Ⅳ developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).MethodsFrom March 2011 to October 2011,10 patients (13 hips) diagnosed as DDH (Crowe Ⅳ) underwent THA.Before operation,all 10 patients underwent three dimensional (3D) CT scanning and the information was inputted into the Superlmage system to reconstitute the 3D anatomic models of pelvis and acetabulum.Then the position and size of the true acetabulum,the thickness of the anterior and posterior columns,and the degree of bone defect were evaluated or measured exactly with computer assisted design(CAD) software.After inputting the information of the test model of the acetabulum and material for repairing bone defect into the CAD software,the implantation of the acetabular prosthesis was simulated to determine the size and position of the acetabular prosthesis.Then the bone defect was evaluated after implantation of the acetabulum to perform simulation test of restoration of bone defect.Eventually,orthopedic surgery was performed precisely.ResultsThe size of acetabular prosthesis implanted in the operation was coincident with that got by preoperative computer aided technology in 9 patients(12 hips),and one acetabular prosthesis was larger than that designed preoperatively.All the cups were implanted in the anatomic acetabular location.The bone defect in the acetabular roof was reconstructed with tantalum augments in 4 hips,with Harris autograft using autologous femoral head in 7 hips,which were coincident with that designed preoperatively.ConclusionThe preoperative CAD is useful in THA for Crowe Ⅳ DDH,because it can exactly evaluate the developmental condition of the true acetabulum.
