Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 2010;12(3):212-216
Objective To explore an effective prevention and management of nonunion and malunion due to insidious infection after fracture internal fixation. Methods From January 2001 to January 2006,we treated 26 patients with nonunion and malunion due to insidious infection after fracture internal fixation.They were 15 cases of femoral fractures, 2 cases of ulna fractures, 3 cases of radial fracturos, 3 cases of humerus fractures, and 3 cases of tibial fractures. The patients were treated with irrigation after debridement.In 23 fractures, the internal fixation was dislodged and changed into external fixation. In the 3 cases whose internal fixation remained, instillation and drainage were conducted after debridement. Bone grafting was performed for 20 cases after replacement of internal fixation, and for 3 cases after removal of external fixation.Three patients received no bone graft. Results The preoperative X-ray findings confirmed the diagnosis of insidious infection in 21 cases, while the other 5 cases were diagnosed by bacterial culture or pathological examination of the pus and inflammatory granulation tissue found during surgery. The bacterial culture was positive in 17 cases, including 6 cases of Staphylococcus epidermidis, 8 cases of Staphylococcus aureus, and 3 cases of Escherichia coli. All the patients were followed up for 8 to 48 months, with an average of 23.5 months. Of the 26 cases, 22 obtained bony union, 2 partial union and 2 nonunion. Complications included fistula in 2 patients and infection relapse in 3 patients. Conclusions Insidious infection may be related to the bacterial toxicity, anatomical sites and surgical methods. X-ray changes may help the diagnosis of insidious infection. Surgery is necessary for management of nonunion and malunion due to insidious infection after fracture internal fixation.

The use of adjuvant extemal-beam RT is well established in the postoperative treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (CBM).It is consensus that target volume should be determined based on the fusion images of MRI and CT,but the inclusion of peritumoural edematous is controversial.The vast majority of recurrences occur within 2 cm of the original tumor site orin radiation field.There is no inevitable relation between the degree of peritumoral edema and recurrence model.The clinical and pathological characteristics may be as predictive and prognostic factors for the treatment of GBM.Target volume delineation for CBM tend to individual,which can maintain known outcomes and reduce treatment toxicity.

AIM:To explore the effect of recombined sICAM-1 on the adhesion of leukocyte to pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell. METHODS:Primary cultured rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells were used in this experiment. Leukocyte was labeled with 99 Tm-HMPAO.The effects of different dose of sICAM-1, CA7 and dimeric form of sICAM-1 (sICAM-1*CA7)were tested separately in cell adhesion .RESULTS:sICAM-1 and CA7 could not inhibit cell adhesion even at the concentration of 100 mg/L,while sICAM-1*CA7 at concentrations of 20 mg/L and 40 mg/L could inhibit 42% and 50% of cell adhesion respectively (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:sICAM-1 has poor inhibitory effect on cell adhesion, probably due to monomeric form.
