Objective To investigate the treatment of perinail refracture after surgery of proximal femoral fracture.Methods From January 2010 to January 2015,we treated perinail fractures in 31 patients who had undergone surgery for proximal femoral fracture.They were 11 men and 20 women,with an average age of 75.6 years (range,from 24 to 87 years).On average,their refracture occurred 9.4 months after primary fixation (range,from 3 to 60 months).With reference to the Vancouver classification of peri-prosthestic refractures in the proximal femur and the position and bone quality of perinail refractures,we tried to classify the perinail fractures and chose different treatment protocols accordingly.In our cohort,6 were type A,5 type B,15 type C,and 5 type D.Type A cases were treated conservatively,and types B and C cases with locking compression plate or less invasive stabilization system.In one case of type D,dynamic hip screws were implanted to fixate the femoral neck fracture after removal of the original intramedullary nail,and hip replacement was conducted in the other 4 after removal of the original intramedullary nail.Results The operation time averaged 2.1 hours (range,from 1.6 to 3.0 hours) and intraoperative bleeding 600 mL (range,from 150 to 800 mL) in this cohort.Of them,27 were followed up for an average of 15 months (range,from 12 to 24 months),giving a follow-up rate of 87.1% (27/31).Six type A fractures obtained bone union after protected weight-bearing walking for 12 weeks.All the 16 fractures of types B and C healed after an average period of 4.2 months (range,from 3 to 6 months).Of the 5 type D fractures,one obtained bone union 12 weeks after change into dynamic hip screwing and 4 had fine functional recovery after hip replacement.No infection,nonunion,or implants failure occurred.Conclusions We have set an exploratory classification system for the perinail refractures at the proximal femur with reference to the Vancouver classification of peri-prosthestic refractures.Our classification can provide effective guidance for the treatment of perinail refracture after surgery of proximal femoral fracture.

Objective To explore the effects of Pannexin1 (Px1) channel protein on osteogenic differentiation of mesen?chymal stem cells (MSCs) under mechanical stress stimulation. Methods Bone marrow was extracted from Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (3 weeks, weighing 100-120 g) and cultured following 1st generation cellular technology. The safe dose of CBX (an inhibitor of Px1 channel protein) on MSCs was determined by CCK8 method and 100 μmol/L was used. The MSCs were cultured by the whole marrow culture method. When the cell was passaged to 3-4 generation, high purity of the MSCs were harvested. MSCs were divided into three groups:control group, stress?stimuli group (4 000μstrain) and stress stimuli+CBX group. The duration of stress was 15 min and CBX pre?treatment time point was 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h, respectively. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, type I collagen expression, intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration, and Px1 channel protein, p?p38MAPK and p?ERK ex?pression were determined. Results ALP activities were highest in the stress group, and it was reduced by pretreatment of CBX. Similarly, stress increased the expression of type I collagen, concentration of Ca2+, and expressions of Px1 channel protein and p?p38MAPK was reduced by CBX. p?ERK was down?regulated by stress but not affected by CBX treatment. Conclusion Mechani?cal stress could promote osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and this promotion was inhibited by pretreatment of CBX, which might result in regulation of p?p38MAPK.

Studies have shown that women's menopause caused by permanent cessation of ovarian function is closely related to lipid metabolism disorders. Er-xian Decoction has been used in the clinical treatment for gynecological diseases and has a good effect on diseases related to reduced sex hormone function. In this study, metabolomics was performed on bilateral ovariectomized model rats within 12 weeks after modeling to mimic the physiological state of menopausal women in different menopausal stages and Er-xian Decoction dosed model rats. The results of liver oil red O staining sections showed lipid metabolic disorder of bilateral ovariectomized model rats and the regulating effects of Er-xian Decoction. 46 potential biomarkers (6 steroid hormones, 3 sphingolipids, 11 phospholipids and 26 glycerides) in plasma and 32 potential biomarkers (1 steroid hormones, 20 phospholipids and 11 glycerides) in liver were obtained based on lipidomics analysis. Then, we analyzed the differential metabolic pathways and construct the lipid metabolism network significantly regulated by Er-xian Decoction. The results provided valuable information for in-depth understanding of the gradual changes on lipid metabolism disorders under menopausal conditions and the characteristics and mechanisms of compound Er-xian Decoction's regulatory effects. The study complied with the procedures established by the Animal Experiment Ethics Committee of the Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and passed the animal experiment ethics examine (No. 00000918).

OBJECTIVEThe clinical effect of the Shi's cervical reduction technique for cervical spondylosis and related disorders has confirmed, however, there were few studies on the body motion during manipulation in vivo study. This study is to summary the law of motion and the motion characteristics of the right operation shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle joints by data acquisition and analysis with the 3D motion capture system.
METHODSThe markers were pasted on the head, trunk, left and right acromion, elbow joint, wrist joint inner side and the outer side of the inner and the outer side and the lateral upper arm, forearm lateral, anterior superior iliac spine, posterior superior iliac spine, trochanter, femoral and tibial tubercle, inner and outer side of knee, ankle, fibular head, medial and lateral in first, 2,5 metatarsal head, heel and dual lateral thigh the calf, lateral tibia of one manipulation practioner, and the subject accepted a complete cycle of cervical "Jin Chu Cao and Gu Cuo Feng" manipulation which was repeated five times. The movement trajectory of the practioner's four markers of operation joints were captured, recorded, calculated and analyzed.
RESULTSThe movement trajectories of four joints were consistent, while the elbow joint had the biggest discrete degree. The 3D activities of the shoulder and elbow were more obvious than other two joints, but the degree of flexion and extension in the knee was significantly greater than the rotation and lateral bending.
CONCLUSIONThe flexibility of upper limb joint and stability of lower limb joint are the important guarantees for the Shi's cervical reduction technique, and the right knee facilitated the exerting force of upper limb by the flexion and extension activities. The 3D model built by the motion capture system would provide a new idea for manipulation teaching and further basic biomechanical research.
