BACKGROUND:Intertrochanteric fractures can be generaly treated by surgical treatment. Along with deep research on the biomechanics of the proximal femur, proximal femoral locking compression plate appears recently. The locking plate fixation is not strong, can reduce the local stress shielding, and maintain optimal system stability, but fracture fixation failure often occurs due to the inappropriate choice of nail plate. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the value of digital orthopedics technology in preoperative planning in locking plate fixation for intertrochanteric fracture. METHODS: Forty intertrochanteric fracture patients receiving CT tomography femur upper segment were selected and divided into two groups. In the conventional group, after reading X-ray films and CT images, patients received locking plate fixation. In the computer planning group, before repair, fracture model was established using Mimics software to segment fracture fragments, simulate operation reset and 3-matic software was used to reconstruct locking plate and screws. Locking plate was assembled with Mimics to obtain the best plate position, best screw angle and screw length. Proximal femoral locking compression plate fixation was performed. Fluoroscopy times, operation time, blood loss and fracture healing time were compared in both groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional models of proximal femur were reconstructed, and a series of data were obtained. The optimal position of each plate was obtained from each patient. The screw length was predicted, so preoperative operation planning was realized. Al patients were folowed up for 6-20 months. Fluoroscopy times, operation time, and blood loss were significantly less in the computer planning group than in the conventional group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in fracture healing time was detected between the two groups (P > 0.05). These findings suggest that digital orthopedics technology used in intertrochanteric fracture can simulate the locking plate position, determine the screw placement angle and length of the screw in advance, and reduce fluoroscopy times, operation time, blood loss and screw position misalignment.

The t1/2αin tanshinoneⅡA low,medium and high dose groups were respective-ly(1.01±0.27),(1.03±0.46)and(1.51±0.65)min;t1/2β were respectively(16.25±4.78),(22.42±9.32)and(24.45±12.02) min;AUC0-120 min were respectively(150.88±45.25),(305.44±92.55)and(643.67±178.27)μg·min/ml;and CL were respective-ly(12.01±4.36),(12.78±5.06)and(12.17±5.41)ml/(min·kg). CONCLUSIONS:The precision,stability and recovery of the method are all in line with the determination requirements of biological samples,and tanshinone ⅡA showed a good linear relation-ship with dose in Beagle dogs in AUC0-120 min.

To investigate the repairing effect of fibrochondrocyte collagen construct in meniscus lesion, fibrochondrocytes were isolated and expanded in vitro , then seeded onto collagen construct .18 dogs with wedged shape lesion in the lateral meniscus were randomly divided into 3 groups: the lesion were filled with either cell collagen construct or collagen or untreated. The lateral meniscus was then examined grossly and histologically at different periods. The results showed that the lesions that had been filled with fibrochondrocyte collagen construct healed with fibrocartilage tissue. The results suggest that tissue engineering method is practical.

To investigate the behavior of meniscal fibrocartilage cells in vitro ,human meniscal fibrocartilage cells were harvested from adolescents and sequentially digestied with 0 50% trypsin and 0 2% collagenase (type2). The isolated cells were cultured in Ham'sF 12 medium and identified by histochemical methods. Cell proliferation, morphology and ultrastructure were observed by phase contrast microscope and electronic microscope. In primarily cultured cells, fusiform cells dominated and they were confirmed by the positive result of immunohistochemical examination for type collagen staining. Our results indicate that it is a simple and highly effective method.

The effects of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX 2) on alcohol induced liver injury in rats were investigated. Rats were randomly divided into three groups: Control group was given with corn oil plus dextrose; Model group with corn oil plus ethanol; Treatment group with corn oil plus ethanol and a selective COX 2 inhibitor celecoxib. All materials were injected into stomach through intragastric tubes. Liver samples were analyzed with histopathology, fatty staining and immunohistochemistry. Glutathione s transferase (GST) activity of liver tissue and plasma were detected. Levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum were measured. Compared with the control group, positive fatty staining cells and expression of COX 2 in liver, level of ALT and AST in serum and activity of GST in plasma were all significantly increased in the model group, but the GST activity in liver was decreased. However, these changes were all reversed in the treatment group. The results show that the model of alcohol induced liver injury in rats has been set up successfully, the selective COX 2 inhibitor celecoxib can protect against alcohol induced liver injury in rats and COX 2 may play a role in alcohol induced liver injury
