BACKGROUND:The chemical compositions and structure of calcium phosphate bone cement are similar to those of human bone, which can fil the bone colapse caused by fracture and induce osteogenesis, but its degradation rate is slow. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the biocompatibility of the calcium phosphate cement/fibrin glue and the feasibility of repairing radius defects. METHODS: In vitro cytotoxicity experiment: Mouse fibroblasts were cultured in the calcium phosphate bone cement/fibrin glue extracts, phenol solution, and RPMI 1640 culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, respectively, to detect the cytotoxicity grade. Hemocompatibility experiment: Calcium phosphate bone cement/fibrin glue extracts, normal saline and distiled water were respectively added into the rabbit anticoagulation, to detect the hemolytic rate. Forty-five New Zealand white rabbits were enroled and modeled into bilateral radius defects, folowed by randomly alotted into three groups: blank control group without any intervention, experimental and control groups were given the implantation with calcium phosphate bone cement/fibrin glue and autologous radius, respectively. X-ray, histology, bone mineral density and biomechanical test were performed at postoperative 4, 8 and 16 weeks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The toxicity grade of the calcium phosphate cement/fibrin glue was 0 to 1. The hemolytic rate of the calcium phosphate cement/fibrin glue was 3.15%. At 16 weeks postoperatively, X-ray showed that in the experimental and control groups, the fracture line disappeared completely, pulp cavity was recanalized, and in plastic completely. Histology showed that the reconstructed bone trabecular was obvious, plate layer of bone was mature, and medulary cavity recanalization appeared in the control group; there were a large number of new grid-shaped woven bone tissues growing into the material in the experimental group, with overt degradation, and degradation rate was in paralel to bone ingrowth. The bone density, the maximum load, maximum stress and failure energy in the experimental and control groups were significantly higher than those in the blank control group (P < 0.05), and al above indicators showed no significant differences between the experimental and control groups. These results manifest that the calcium phosphate bone cement/fiber protein glue composite material holding a good biocompatibility can promote bone tissue regeneration for bone defect repair, achieving similar curative effect with autologous bone transplantation.

Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of articular compression molding techniques in the surgery for acetabular posterior wall fracture.
Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted of the 28 patients (28 hips) with fracture of acetabular posterior wall plus comminuted compression of articular surface who had been treated using the articular compression molding techniques at Department of Orthopedics, The Hospital of 81 Group Army of PLA from January 2014 to January 2018. They were 25 males and 3 females, aged from 26 to 63 years (average, 49.3 years). The time from injury to surgery ranged from 4 to 12 days (average, 7.8 days). According to the Letournel-Judet classification, all were single element (simple) posterior wall fractures combined with posterior dislocation of the femoral head and articular compression of different degrees; transient sciatic nerve injury was complicated in 12 cases. The posterior hip dislocations were timely and successful reset at emergency treatment. The compression fractures of the posterior wall and hip joint were treated by open reduction and internal fixation via the acetabular posterior (K-L) approach. The articular compression was treated by 4 stabilization techniques: absorbable screwing and blocking technique in 10 cases, indwelling screwing in 12 cases, indwelling Kirschner wiring in 2 cases and die push and squeeze tamping in 4 cases. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding and complications were recorded. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by the modified Merle d’Aubigne & Postel scoring criteria at the final follow-up.
Results:
The operation time lasted from 76 to 118 minutes (average, 94.2 minutes); the intraoperative bleeding ranged from 100 to 320 mL (average,220.8 mL). No incision liquefaction, infection or other complications occurred. The 28 patients were followed up for 10 to 36 months (average, 17.6 months). According to the Matta scoring criteria, 24 cases achieved anatomical reduction but 4 dissatisfactory reduction. By the modified Merle d’Aubigne & Postel scoring criteria at the final follow-up, the efficacy was evaluated as excellent in 26 cases and as good in 2. Heterotopic ossification was observed in 3 cases and microscopic free dense shadow in the joint cavity (about 2 mm in the round ligament) in 3 cases. There were no cases of obvious traumatic arthritis or osteoarthritis, femoral head necrosis, walking pain, lameness or hip abduction weakness. The 12 patients complicated with preoperative transient sciatic nerve injury recovered within 3 months after surgery.
Conclusion
The articular compression molding techniques can effectively treat severely comminuted articular compression in the acetabular posterior wall fracture and improve reduction of articular surface and hip joint matching, leading to stability and good joint function.

Objective:To analyse the clinical significance of selective single embryo transfer by time-lapse mo-nitoring(TLM)or conventional morphology assessment(CMA)in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm in-jection and embryo transfer(IVF/ICSI-ET),and to initially explore the predictive value of Raman spectral analy-sis of embryo culture medium for clinical pregnancy rate.Methods:The study is a prospective randomized con-trolled clinical trial.We assigned 139 patients treated with IVF/ICSI-ET in Reproductive and Genetics Center of Suzhou Municipal Hospital from April 2019 to July 2020,which were randomly assigned to either the CMA or the TLM group.We performed selective single-embryo transfer(fresh cycle and FET)after selecting the optimal em-bryos with TLM or CMA respectively.If the patient's first embryo transfer was unsuccessful,a second one would be performed to compare the differences in the cumulative live birth rate of embryo transfer and other pregnancy outcomes between the two groups.Meanwhile,we collected 15 μl of embryo culture medium at day 3 after IVF/ISCI fertilization for Raman spectroscopy analysis.Results:There were no differences in cumulative live birth,cu-mulative clinical pregnancy,cumulative premature birth,cumulative early spontaneous abortion,cumulative ectopic pregnancy and LGA or SGA between TLM and CMA groups(P>0.05).The Neonatal sex ratio in the TLM group was lower than that in the CMA group,but the difference was not significant(P>0.05).Raman spectros-copy analysis of embryo culture medium predicted the clinical pregnancy rate with 67.21%accuracy.Conclu-sions:In young women with a good ovarian reserve,the advantage of using TLM to evaluate embryos is not obvi-ous,so we should remain vigilant that embryo selection based on morphokinetic parameters may affect the sex ratio.Raman spectroscopic analysis of embryo culture medium is not yet able to effectively predict the planting ability of embryos.
