Objective We aimed to explor the correlation between the serum resistin levels and the collapse process of femoral head necrosis. Methods Eighty-eight patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head were included in this study (26, 34 and 28 cases at ARCO stage Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ, respectively). Fifty healthy controls were enrolled. The serum resistin levels were detected with ELISA method. We compared the serum resistin levels between the patient group and control group. The differences of serum resistin levels between different ARCO stagesand various disease causes were analyzed in the patient group. Results The resistin levels were significantly higher in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral than healthy control group (P = 0.026). Compared with control group, the resistin levels significantly increased in patients at ARCO stage Ⅲ and ARCO stage Ⅳ respectively (P = 0.001).The resistin levels of procollapse group (ARCO stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ) were significantly higher than that of precollapse group (ARCO stage Ⅱ) (P = 0.000). There was no statistic difference between ARCO stage Ⅲ andⅣ in resistin levels (P> 0.05). No statistical significance was found between different disease causes. ROC curve analysis of resisrin level indicated theertain accuracy (AUC = 0.749) , sensitivity and significant specificity (77.4％, 61.5％, respectively) in the diagnosis of femoral head necrosis. Conclusions Resistin is closely related to the collapse process of femoral head necrosis. The level of resistin was significantly increased after the collapse of femoral head, which could be useful for the clinical diagnosis of the collapse of femoral head necrosis.

Objective To investigate the global research status and trends ofrehabilitation after arthroplasty.Methods The Wed of Science database was used to search the publications on rehabilitation after arthroplasty from 1994 to 2018.The included publish items were statistically analyzed by bibliometrics.VOSviewer software was used to analyze the visual transformation of literature coupling (including author coupling,mechanism coupling and country coupling) and co-occurrence analysis.The research status and trends of rehabilitation after arthrop]asty in recent years were analyzed and predicted.Results A total of 1 702 studies were included in the present study.The number of literatures increased year by year globally,including 612 in the United States as the top number of studies in the world.The total citation frequency (15 433 times) and H index (61) of the research publications were also the highest in the world.China (79 literatures) ranked 6th in the number of global research publications,with total citation frequency (451 times) and H index (12) ranked 14th.The number of publications published by JOURNAL OF ARTHROPLASTY and ARCHIVES OF PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION on rehabilitation after arthroplasty was the highest.The University of Pittsburgh and the University of Toronto were the biggest contributors to publications on rehabilitation after arthroplasty.The theme of rehabilitation after arthroplasty can be divided into five categories:pain management,functional exercise,hospital management,complications and clinical trials.Hospital management wasthe main research field recently and the orthopedic specialty hospital would become a hot research topic in the fulure.Conclusion According to the current global trends,rehabilitation study is deepening and the number of publications will increase continuously.The United States is the largest contributor in this area.The current researches focus on the "hospital management" after arthroplasty.The new type of orthopedic specialty hospital may be the next research hotspot for arthroplasty.
