BACKGROUND:In total hip arthroplasty, the accurate placement of the acetabulum is needed to guarantee the survival rate of the prosthesis and improve the prognosis. In order to ensure the accurate placement of the acetabulum, the accurate measurement of the abduction angle and the anteversion angle of the acetabulum is needed. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the application value of C-arm X-ray displacement measurement of acetabular anteversion angle and abduction angle in total hip arthroplasty. METHODS:Total y 63 cases undergoing total hip arthroplasty were divided into two groups according to their wil . Patients in the control group (n=30) were implanted with traditional acetabular prosthesis locator. Patients in the observation group (n=33) were implanted with acetabular prosthesis after C-arm X-ray displacement measurement. Acetabular anteversion angle, abduction angle and pelvic inclination were measured before, during and after arthroplasty. Acetabular anteversion angle and abduction angle were measured in both groups after arthroplasty. Pain score and hip function Harris score were recorded in both groups at different time points. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) No significant difference in acetabular anteversion angle, abduction angle and pelvic inclination was detected before, during and after arthroplasty (al P>0.05). (2) No significant difference in abduction angle was determined between the two groups after arthroplasty (P>0.05), but acetabular anteversion angle was significantly smal er in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). (3) At 7 days after arthroplasty, Visual Analog Scale scores were less in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). (4) Compared with that before arthroplasty, Harris score was significantly higher after arthroplasty in both groups (P<0.05). Harris score was higher in the observation group than in the control group at 3 and 12 months after arthroplasty (P<0.05). (5) Results indicated that during total hip arthroplasty, C-arm X-ray machine can measure acetabular anteversion angle and abduction angle, and effectively correct pelvic inclination, internal and external rotation, abduction and adduction, improve the accuracy of acetabular cup placement and the quality of replacement surgery, and improve the prognosis of the patients.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the clinical value of early enteral nutrition (EEN) and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) af-ter esophageal cancer surgery. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 237 patients who underwent esophageal cancer surgery at Bei-jing Shijitan Hospital from March 2011 to March 2019. They were assigned into two groups based on the postoperative nutritional sup-port used: EEN (136 cases) and TPN (101 cases). Nutritional status, liver function, recovery of gastrointestinal function, days of hospital-ization, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups after propensity score matching. Results: Using 1 :1 nearest neighbor matching, we successfully matched 91 pairs of patients. The prealbumin (PA) level was significantly higher in the EEN group than in the TPN group 7 days after surgery (P<0.05); however, there was no significant difference in albumin (ALB) level before surgery, 3 or 7 days after surgery. Additionally, the levels of ALT and AST in the EEN group were significantly lower than those in the TPN group 3 and 7 days after surgery (P<0.05). The incidence of acid reflux, vomiting, and diarrhea in the EEN group was higher than that in the TPN group, while the incidence of pulmonary edema and pulmonary infection was lower in the EEN group than in the TPN group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Compared with TPN, EEN is associated with a high incidence of acid reflux, vomiting, and diarrhea after esophageal cancer surgery, but it has a lower impact on liver function. EEN can promote the recovery of intestinal function, improve nutritional indicators, and shorten hospitalization time.

Renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the common ending of progressive renal disease. It is worth developing new ways to stop the progress of renal fibrosis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) agonists have been studied to treat diabetic nephropathy, cisplatin-induced acute renal injury, ischemia reperfusion injury and adriamycin nephropathy. In this study, unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) was used to establish a different renal fibrosis model. PPAR? agonist pioglitazone was administrated by oral gavage and saline was used as control. At 7th and 14th day after the operation, mice were sacrificed for fibrosis test and T lymphocytes subsets test. Unexpectedly, through MASSON staining, immunohistochemistry for α-SMA, and Western blotting for a-SMA and PDGFR-β, we found that pioglitazone failed to attenuate renal fibrosis in UUO mice. However, flow cytometry showed that pioglitazone down-regulated Th1 cells, and up-regulated Th2 cells, Th17 cells and Treg cells. But the Th17/Treg ratio had no significant change by pioglitazone. Real-time PCR results showed that TGF-β and MCP-1 had no significant changes, at the same time, CD4(+) T cells associated cytokines were partially regulated by pioglitazone pretreatment. Taken together, pioglitazone failed to suppress renal fibrosis progression caused by UUO.
