With the advent of an aging society, the proportion of acetabular fractures in the elderly is increasing. Acetabular fracture belongs to intra-articular fracture. The treatment principle should be to restore the continuity of articular surface anatomy and the concentric relationship between the acetabular load bearing area and the femoral head as far as possible, rebuild the stability of the hip joint, promote the functional recovery of the hip joint, and help patients to carry out functional exercise at an early stage, so as to obtain a good prognosis. However, the treatment plan of the elderly is different from that of young patients due to problems such as insufficient bone mass, basic diseases and physiological weakness, which is a new challenge for orthopedic doctors. In this paper, the selection of different treatment schemes for elderly acetabular fracture is summarized, in order to provide help for clinicians in the treatment of elderly acetabular fracture.

The American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine collaborated to develop an evidence-based study about the safe and effective use of Ketamine in total joint arthroplasty(TJA). Based on the systematic review and Meta-analysis of several studies, the following conclusions are drawn: Ketamine can effectively relieve the postoperative pain of patients; Ketamine can effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting; Ketamine can reduce the use of postoperative opioids; intraoperative use of Ketamine does not increase the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions. The above conclusions are graded according to the strength of evidence support. This article interprets the guidelines to provide reference for addressing the effectiveness and safety of Ketamine use in TJA.

The inflammatory reaction of renal tissues and its relevant tissue damages (such as glomerulosclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis) are important factors for the development of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) to end-state renal diseases. Of them, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating expression and bioactivity of multiple nuclear transcription factors, impacting synthesis of downstream inflammatory mediators and activating inflammatory cells. Some monomer traditional Chinese medicines and their extracts (such as emodin and berberine) and some traditional Chinese medicine compound prescriptions (such as Yishen Huoxue decoction) can affect inflammatory reaction of renal tissues by regulating p38MAPK signaling pathway, thas improving reduce glomerulus and renal interstitial inflammatory injury.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and the factors affecting the prognosis of intrahepatic biliary cystadenocarcinoma (IBC).

METHODSForty-six patients with histologically confirmed IBC from January, 2000 to April, 2014 were included. The clinical characteristics of the patients with IBC were compared with those of 58 patients with intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma (IBCA). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to identify the factors affecting the prognosis of IBC.

RESULTSThe 46 patients with IBC included 15 men and 31 women with a mean age of 57.0 ± 10.5 years. Compared with the patients with IBCA, IBC patients had an older mean age (57.0 ± 10.7 vs 44.3 ± 15.3 years, P=0.03) and a greater proportion of male patients (15/46 vs 8/58, P=0.02). The differential diagnosis between IBC and IBCA was difficult on the basis of preoperative laboratory and imaging findings. The median overall survival of IBC patients was 56 months with 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of 85.9%, 65.2%, and 47.7%, respectively. Gender, surgical approach, tumor growth pattern and distant metastasis were all significant prognostic factors for the overall survival of the patients.

CONCLUSIONIBC is a rare cystic lesion occurring primarily in middle-aged men. Complete resection is recommended for curative treatment and close follow-up is essential especially for male patients and patients with tumors exhibiting an invasive growth.

With the common occurrence of knee osteoarthritis, total knee arthroplasty has become an effective method for the treatment of middle and late knee osteoarthritis. Continuous passive movement is an effective auxiliary method for rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty, but it also has some limitations. This article reviews the research progress of continuous passive movement after total knee arthroplasty.

Bone infection is a serious infectious disease in clinical practice due to its difficult treatment and poor prognosis. Therefore, early accurate diagnosis of bone infection is the key for successful treatment. The traditional detection methods is time consuming with lower positive rate. Therefore, it is urgent to find better detection techniques to identify the pathogenic microorganisms of bone infection. In recent years, metagenomic second-generation sequencing technology has been widely used in the diagnosis of clinical infectious diseases because of its advantages of accurate, rapid, efficient and comprehensive diagnosis of pathogenic microorganisms, and can be used as an effective tool for the diagnosis of bone infections. This paper mainly reviews the advantages, disadvantages and development direction of metagenomics next-generation sequencing technology in the diagnosis of bone infection.

Objective:To explore the immune infiltration cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial lesions, and to provide new research directions and therapeutic targets for the pathogenesis and treatment of RA.Methods:The three gene expression data sets GSE77298, GSE55457 and GSE1919 were downloaded from gene expression omnibus (GEO) (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo), and the data were merged with Perl. The "limma" package was used to adjust batch differences. In R, "CIBERSORT" software was used to obtain the expression matrix of 22 kinds of immune cells corresponding to RA synovial tissue samples and normal synovial tissue samples were analyzed with the three packages of "e1071", "parallel" and "preprocessCore". Perl was used to screen samples with P<0.05 in the immune cell matrix. R's "barplot" function was analyzed by the percentage of 22 immune cells in samples with P<0.05. The "pheatmap" package of R was used to visualize heatmaps, and "corrplot" package was used to draw correlation heatmaps. The "vioplot" package of R was used to draw violin plots of differences via the wilcox test. Results:The results of immune cell infiltration analysis showed that in RA synovial tissue samples and normal synovial tissue samples at P<0.05, B cells naive and natural killer cells resting were under-expressed in RA synovial tissue, and plasma cells, mast cells resting, macrophages M1, B cells memory and T cells regulatory were highly expressed in RA synovial tissue. This study also found that in the same sample, the correlation coefficient between natural killer cells resting and neutrophils ( r=0.91) was the highest, indicating synergistic effect between the two. In the same sample, the correlation coefficient between macrophages M0 and plasma cells ( r=-0.88) was the lowest, indicating antagonistic effect between the two. Conclusion:The immune infiltrating cells in RA synovial lesions discovered in this study provide a certain theoretical basis and research direction for the research on the disease mechanism and treatment of RA.

OBJECTIVETo describe the treatment and prognosis of solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) with metastases or recurrence.

METHODSThe clinical date of 24 patients with histological confirmed SPN with metastases or recurrence from January 2000 to April 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 22 females and 2 males, with mean age of (36 ± 16) years. Fourteen patients had local recurrence or metastasis after surgery, with a mean time of recurrence (44 ± 29) months. Ten patients were defined SPN with distant metastasis at first admission. Nineteen patients underwent surgical resection, among them, 11 patients received complete resection. Nine cases underwent chemotherapy. Kaplan-Meier method was used to identify prognostic factors.

RESULTSTwenty-four patients were followed-up, 9 patients died. Median survival time was 47 months, and 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival was 91.7%, 65.1%, 49.6%, respectively. Age (χ(2) = 6.858, P = 0.009), primary tumor diameter (χ(2) = 4.322, P = 0.038), extrahepatic metastasis (χ(2) = 5.279, P = 0.022) and complete resection of metastases and recurrence (χ(2) = 4.666, P = 0.031) were important prognostic factors for survival (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSFor SPN with metastases or recurrence, good prognosis can also obtain after complete resection. Age, primary tumor diameter, extrahepatic metastasis and complete resection of metastases and recurrence are influence factors on prognosis of patients.
