[Objective]To discuss the outcome of acetabular protrusion after total hip arthroplasty. [Method]Fifteen patients(M=7,F=9) having painful acetabular protrusion received total hip arthroplasty with reinforcement of the acetabulum with bone grafts(autogenous or allogeneous bone).The results were reported at 1~4 years(mean,3 years) of follow-up.Of the 15 cases,5 were mild protrusion and 10 were moderate protrusion.The Harris hip-rating and radiographs were taken pre-and postoperatively. [Result]The average Harris hip-rating was improved from 45 points(range,39~60 points) preoperatively to 85 points(range,70~100 points) postoperatively.The average preoperative protrusion of the femoral head medial to the Kohler line was 8.8 mm(6~18 mm).The average postoperative placement of the prosthetic femoral head was 10 mm(6~13 mm) lateral to the Kohler line.None acetabulum prothesis failure or bone grafts absorption was seen.The grafts were well incorporated on radiograms in all patients one year after operation by radiographs. [Conclusion]Good results can be obtained in hips with acetabular protrusion after reconstructed with autogeneous or allogeneous bone grafting and total hip arthroplasty.

Purpose:
To investigate the effectiveness of a structured death education program for older adults with chronic illness and their family caregivers.
Methods:
This study adopted two-group, nonrandomized quasi-experimental design. Patient–caregiver dyads in the intervention group (N = 40 dyads) engaged in the death education program at the bedside once a week for 5 weeks, and were compared with participants (N = 40 dyads) in the control group who received usual health education. The program consisted of five sessions based on the Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior. Death attitude, death competence, well-being, family function, and satisfaction were measured at baseline (T0), immediately after the intervention (T1), and 1 month later (T2). Data collection was conducted from July 30, 2019, to December 30, 2019.
Results:
The intention-to-treat analysis The intention-to-treat analysis of between groups at 1-month follow-up revealed that the intervention group had greater decreases in the fear of death (p=.002, 95% CI -2.53, -0.47; p<.001, 95% CI -3.61, -1.65) and death avoidance (p<.001, 95% CI -3.46, -1.84; p<.001, 95% CI -3.89, -2.43), had greater increases in the neutral acceptance (p=.032, 95% CI 0.05, 1.38;p<.001, 95% CI 0.99, 2.56) and death competence (p<.001, 95% CI 4.10, 8.01; p<.001, 95% CI 7.80, 12.11) in patients and caregivers, respectively. There were significant intergroup differences over time for patient well-being of (p<.001, 95% CI 3.06, 9.74) and satisfaction of (p<.001, 95% CI 2.01, 4.59). Results were consistent with the results from the sensitivity analysis.

Objective To assess the effect of low-dose cytarabine and aclarubicin in combination with gran-ulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) protocol (CAG) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML),and to understand the potential factors affecting the outcome of CAG induction therapy, therefore to find the optimum pa-tients for CAG therapy. Methods Twenty-one AML patients were enrolled in the current study. All patients were treated with CAG regimen including cytarabine (10 mg/m~2, subcutaneously, every 12 h, days 1 - 14), lacinomycin (5~7 mg/m~2,intravenously,every day, days 1 -8) ,and G-CSF (200 μg/m~2,subcutaneously, every day,12 h be-fore Ara-C was given) priming. Results The overall complete remission (CR) rate of the 21 AML patients was 66.7% (14/21). The CR rates was 87.5% (7/8) in patients older than 60 yrs,60.0% (9/15) in the refractory or relapsed patients,83.3% (5/6) in the MDS transformed AML patients. The CR rates for patients with hyperprolif-erative BM and median to poor proliferative BM were 33.3% and 91.7% ,respectively(P =0.009). The median o-verall survival (OS) time of the 21 AML patients was 450 days. Two-year survival rate estimated by Kaplan-Meier Method was 30.6%. The overall median disease free survival (DFS) was 165 days. The median OS time for those refractory or relapsed was 435 days. The median OS time for those with poor cytogenetic state or standard or good cytogenetic state was 140 days and 620 days, respectively (P = 0.001). The median OS time for patients with hyperproliferative BM and median to poor proliferative BM was 321 days and 620 days, respectively (P = 0.05). The median recovery time of granulocytes above 1.0×10~9/L was 8 days. The median duration of fever was 3.5 days. The rate of infections exceeding WHO grade Ⅱ was 42.9%. No early death occurred. Conclusions The CAG induction therapy may have a higher CR rate in patients with refractory or relapsed AML, elderly AML and secondary AML from MDS transformation, and extend the median overall survival time in refractory or relapsed patients. CAG therapy can not improve the outcome of patients whose BM was in high grade proliferation state or whose cytogenetic state was poor. CAG therapy can shorten the duration of agranulocytosis and decrease the inci-dence of serious infection. Therefore, CAG therapy is worth recommending to patients who can not endure the rou-tine intensive chemotherapy.

Objective To study the antitumor effects of exosomes derived from heat-shocked E.G7-OVA tumor cells in vivo. Methods Exosomes derived from E.G7-OVA tumor cells were isolated and purified by serial centrifugation and sucrose gradients ultracentrifugation. Exosomes from heat-shocked or non-heat-shocked E.G7-OVA tumor cells were named as Exo/HS and Exo correspondingly. Exosomes were viewed by electron microscopy. Protein components of exosomes were detected by Western blot. Exo, Exo/ HS or PBS were injected into mice before injection of E.G7-OVA tumor cells, and antitumor effects were ob-served in each group. Mouse model bearing E.G7-OVA tumor cells were established to examine immunother-apy effects of Exo or Exo/HS. Cytotoxity of spleen CTL were measured by LDH. Results Exosomes con-tained bi-layer membrane and their diameters are between 40 nm and 100 nm under electron microscopy. The Western blot results showed that HSC70, HSP70, HSP60, HSP90, MHC Ⅰ and OVA were present in both Exo and Exo/HS. However, Exo/HS contained more HSP70 and MHC Ⅰ than Exo. Protective antitu-mor immunity suggested that tumor-free survival (90 days) rate in Exo/HS vaccinated mice was significantly higher than those in Exo or PBS vaccinated mice (50%, 20%, 0%, P<0.01). Therapeutic antitumor effects showed that immunization by Exo/HS resulted in dramatically enhanced antitumor effects when com-pared to the Exo- or PBS-treated groups (P<0.01). CTL results showed that immunization with Exo/HS in-duced higher level of OVA-specific CTL responses as compared with those from Exo or PBS (P<0.01). Conclusion Exosomes derived heat-shocked E.G7-OVA tumor cells may be used as potent cancer vaccine.
