[Objective]To investigate the efficacy of total hip arthroplasty(THA)on the treatment of traumatic arthritis that caused by internal fixation failures of intertrochanteric fractures.[Methods]During January 2009 and March 2016,35 cases of trau?matic arthritis(male:18 cases;female17 cases;49 ~ 86 years old,with an average age of 68.5 years)caused by internal fixation failures or malunion of intertrochanteric fractures,were undergo THA. Among 35 cases,13 cases were performed with the proximal femoral fixation stems,10 cases were with distal fixation stems,and 12 cases were with extended stems.[Results]With 3~65 months follow-up,the hip joint HSS score was elevated from 44.1(31 ~ 65)preoperative to 82.5(58 ~ 94)postoperative without obvious loosening. No postoperative deep infectionwas found. The femoral stems in 2 cases were found to sink 5 mm and 10 mm,respectively. No obvious prosthesis loosening was found. Taken together ,the satisfaction rate of THA on the joint function of traumatic arthritis was 91.4%.[Conclusion]Total hip arthroplasty is recommended as an effective approach for treating traumatic arthritis caused by internal fixation failures of intertrochanteric fractures. Distal fixed prosthesis was recommended due to bone sclerosis or defects of proximal femur. Coupled with emphasis on reconstruction of the greater trochanter ,good therapeutic effects could be achieved.

BACKGROUND:As a unique structure of the cervical spine,the occurrence,development and progression of the uncovertebral joint directly affect the stability and range of motion of the cervical spine,and are also closely related to the pathogenesis of cervical spondylosis.A thorough understanding of the developmental characteristics of the uncovertebral joint is of great significance for the pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment of cervical spondylosis. OBJECTIVE:By using imaging and three-dimensional reconstruction technology to measure and observe the cervical uncinate process-related angle in a large sample of different age groups,the aim is to reveal the characteristics of its changes with age and vertebral growth,as well as its relationship with cervical spine stability. METHODS:Using a retrospective research design,we collected 1 447 cases of raw CT imaging data that meet the study requirements for complete cervical spine segments.The raw data were imported into Mimics 21.0 software in DICOM format for post-processing and measurement of angle of uncinate process and sagittal angle of uncinate process.The data were grouped based on gender,age,and side. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the increase of vertebral sequence,the angle of uncinate process increased in a V-shaped shape,and the lowest peak was at C5.The overall population showed a sharp peak with the increase of age,and the peak value mostly occurred in the age range of 30-39 years.(2)The sagittal angle of the uncinate process increased like a fishhook with the increase of the vertebral sequence,and the overall angle of the uncinate process increased with age,and the peak value mostly occurred in the age range of 20-29 years.The uncinate process angle and sagittal angle showed only partial significant differences between sides and genders(P<0.05).(3)It is concluded that the angle of the uncinate process increased with the increase of vertebral sequence in a V-shaped manner.The sagittal angle of the uncinate process increases like a fish hook with increasing vertebral order,while the two angles generally peak with increasing age.The angle of the uncinate process is about 131°,which may be closely related to the stability of the cervical spine,while the sagittal angle of the uncinate process is about 14°,and its function may play a certain role in limiting the excessive rotation of the cervical spine.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for the content determination of patulin in Citri Grandis Exocarpium. METHODS High-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer(HPLC-MS/MS)was used for the analysis. After water-soluble dispersion and pectinase enzymolysis, the Citri Grandis Exocarpium sample was extracted by acetonitrile with high-speed homogenated. The extracted solution was conducted dispersive solid phase extraction by mixing powder of MgSO4 and NaAC (4∶1,m/m),then purified on SHIMSEN 228 solid phase purification column. Water acetonitrile was used as mobile phase, and the Shim-pack XR-ODS column was used to separate the target compound. And it was detected by electrospray ionization in the negative mode under multiple reaction monitoring, and quantified by the external standard method with matrix- matched standard correction curves. RESULTS Patulin showed good linear correlation in the concentration from 5 to 200 ng/mL (r=0.999 6). RSDs of precision, reproducibility and stability tests (12 h) were all lower than 6%. The average recoveries at low, medium, high concentrations were 83.9%, 92.08%, 92.21%, respectively (RSDs were 11.09%, 5.53%, 1.75%, respectively). The limit of quantitation was 6 μg/kg and limit of detection was 3 μg/kg. Patulin was not detected in 20 batches of samples. CONCLUSIONS Established method can be used for the rapid detection and accurate quantification of patulin in Citri Grandis Exocarpium, which can provide experimental basis and method for safety study and quality control of Citri Grandis Exocarpium.
