BACKGROUND: Precise clinical treatment of talar ischemic necrosis remains controversial at present.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes in the stress and its distribution on talar trochlear articular surface in case of talar necrosis at different levels.METHODS: The present study adopted eight ankle specimens to establish the three-dimensional finite element model of ankle. Through changes in the talar necrosis volume of these models, this study analyzed the change law of talar trochlear articular surface stress and its distribution and calculated the critical necrosis volume of traumatic foot and ankle arthritis or talar collapse that may be induced by talar ischemic necrosis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The experiment successfully established the three-dimensional finite element model of ankle. This study found that talar trochlear articular surface stress distribution showed little change in case of talar medial and lateral necrosis at a lower level; when medial talar necrosis volume reached (26.6±1.5)%, and lateral talar necrosis volume reached (35.0±2.5)%. Stress concentration phenomenon occurred in the boundary area between talar necrosis tissue and normal osseous tissue, and the stress area took the shape of irregular pattern. It is suggested that surgical treatment should be considered due to the high-risk induction of ankle-foot traumatic arthritis or talar collapse.

Objective To explore the possible effects of hepatocyte growth factors (HGF) on prevention and therapy of disused gastrocnemius atrophy in rats by observing their effects on the wet weight and contractile function of the gastrocnemius of fixed hind limbs. Methods Twenty-four Wister male rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a contrast group and an experimental group. Their right hind limbs were fixed for four weeks with plastic piaster from metatarsus to 1 cm up the knee. Their knee joint was fixed in 100?flexion and their ankle joint in 60?plantar flexion. Rats in the contrast group were injected with 0. 2 mL of normal saline, and rats in the ex- perimental group were injected with HGF (10 mg/kg, 10 mg/mL). Their whole gastrocnemius of the right hind limb was dissected four weeks later to measure its contractile function and wet weight. Results Compared with the blank group, single maximal contraction, maximal tetanus, and wet weight of the gastrocnemius in the contrast and experimental groups decreased significantly (P<0. 05), and fields of electric stimulation also decreased signifi- cantly (P<0. 05). Compared with the contrast group, single maximal contraction, maximal tetanus, and wet weight of the gastrocnemius in the experimental group were significantly superior (P<0.05), and fields of electric stimulation significantly increased. Conclusion Since after a local injection of HGF, the contractile function and wet weight can be significantly increased, HGF may have a preventive effect on disused atrophy.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of Japan Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Study Group (JLSG) Protocol in treatment of children suffering from multiple system langerhans cell histiocytosis (MS-LCH). The clinical features, therapeutic response and prognosis of 11 children who were diagnosed and treated by JLSG in our department during October 2004 through October 2011 were analyzed. Among all 11 cases, 8 males and 3 females, the age at diagnosis was from 3 month to 6.5 years old with a median age of 3 years old. There were 10 cases of LCH with multi-system involvement (MS-LCH) and 1 case of single-system involvement (SS-LCH). Among those MS-LCH patients, 5 patients had risk organ involvement, and the other 5 patients did not develop risk organ involvement. All patients had been treated with JLSG protocol. The results showed that 4 cases achieved good response after 6-week induction treatment and the time of drug discontinuation were 5 - 20 months without relapse; 3 cases achieved partial response after 6-week induction treatment, among them 1 case did not relapse after discontinuation of drugs for 19 months, 1 case was still receiving maintenance treatment, 1 case abandoned induction treatment; 4 patients got no response (NR) or progressive disease after 6-week of induction treatment and were switched to salvage therapy, among them, 2 patients had stopped treatment for 2 - 20 months without relapse, 1 patient was still receiving maintenance treatment, one had changed to another therapy. It is concluded that the most of childhood LCH can be effectively controlled by immunochemical therapy based on the JLSG protocol. For children with LCH who has a poor response after 6-week induction treatment, LCH can still be well controlled if switched to salvage treatment.
