Objective To explore the mediating effect of self-management behavior between nervous functional defects and health condition in patients with stroke.Methods A total of 100 patients with stroke chosen in Jianhu hospital affiliated to Nantong University from March to June 2015 were investigated using SSMBS,SSS and SRHMS through questionnaires after they left hospital for one year.The data was analyzed by stepwise regression analysis and Bootstrap procedure via SPSS13.0 and AMOS7.0.Results The total scores of SSS,SSMBS and SRHMS were (13.38±5.29),(162.59±21.43) and (278.13±51.48),respectively.Bivariate correlation analysis showed that there were correlations among self-management behavior,neurological impairment and self-rating health (r=-0.735,-0.568,0.693,P<0.01).The value of the mediating effect of self-management behavior was 0.137,accounting for 24.1% of the total effect.Bootstrap test showed 95% confidence interval of the direct mediating effect of self-management behavior was (0.006,0.208).Conclusions elf-management behavior has stronger mediating effect between nervous functional defects and health condition,it is a predictive factor of nervous functional defects and health condition.Medical workers should enhance the intervention of health self-management behavior for the patients with chronic diseases such as stroke.

Objective To evaluate effect of two-stage exchange total hip arthroplasty (THA) using an antibiotic-loaded cement spacer in the treatment of hip infection secondary to hip surgery.Methods From January 2005 to January 2010,6 consecutive patients with infected hip secondary to hip surgery,including 2 males and 4 females,aged from 43 to 68 years (average,59.7±9.2 years) were treated with two-stage exchange THA.There were 3 cases of femoral neck fracture treated with compression screws fixation,1 case of femoral head necrosis treated with bone graft,and 2 cases of early stage femoral head necrosis treated with core decompression and local interventional therapy respectively.Debridement and insertion of antibioticloaded cement spacer was performed in the first stage.After eradication of infection,it was converted to THA in the second stage.All patients were followed up regularly.Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were tested.Harris score was used to evaluate the function of the hips.Results All patients were followed up for an average of 46 months (range,24 to 81 mouths).Five of 6 patients were successfully converted to THA after an average of 14 weeks.One patient accepted the second debridement and reinsertion of a spacer owing to the abnormal values of ESR and CRP; this case was converted to THA successfully 12 weeks after the second debridement.Harris hip score improved from preoperative 35.6±3.3 to 57.8±5.4 between the two stages and 92.3±5.7 at final follow-up.One patient suffered deep vein thrombosis in the infected extremity and pulmonary embolism.There was no reinfection after THA.Conclusion Twostage exchange THA using an antibiotic-loaded cement spacer can obtain satisfactory results for the treatment of hip infection secondary to the hip surgery.

Objective To compare the serum metal ion levels and host immunologic response of patients received non-modular,large-head metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (THA,Durom) with those received modular titanium acetabular component (Trilogy) using conventional head sizes and metal-on-highly cross-linked polyethylene articulations at mean 2-year follow-up interval.Methods A continuous series of 32 consecutive patients (32 hips) accepted THA with a Durom large head metal-on-metal articulation between January 2008 and December 2010 was as study group (Durom Group).From all the patients who received THA with Trilogy prosthesis at the same period,32 patients matched the Durom group in age,gender and body mass index (BMI) were chosen to form the Trilogy group.Another 32 healthy volunteers also matched the Durom group were chosen to form the control group.At the final follow-up,the serum metal ion levels,host immunologic response were evaluated.Results The mean follow-up time for Durom group was 24.9 months (range,15-34 months) compared to 25.53 months (range,15-48 months) for Trilogy group.Co and Cr levels in Durom group were 4.33 and 1.95 times as high as those in Trilogy group.There was no statistically significant difference in serum C3,C4,IgA,IgG,IgM value in three groups.CD3+,CD4+ and CD8+cells in Durom group decreased significantly compared with Trilogy and control groups.The interferon-γ(IFN-γ) level in Durom group was significantly higher than that in Trilogy and control groups.Conclusion The serum cobalt and chromium levels in patients received Durom metal-on-metal THA elevated significantly in early period.Meanwhile,some amount of impact on host cell mediated immunity occurred.

Objective To investigate the method and efficacy in treating acetabular bone defects by the use of titanium wire mesh and impact bone allograft in revision total hip arthroplasty.Methods Twenty-two patients (22 hips) with acetabular bone defects in revision total hip arthroplasty were treated with wire mesh and impact bone allograft from January 2008 to December 2013.There were 7 males and 15 females in the present study.The average age of the patients at the surgery was 64.8 (37-78) years.According to Paprosky classification,there were 9 cases of type ⅡA,4 cases of ⅡB,7 cases of ⅡC and 2 cases of ⅢB.Twenty cases with aseptic loosen and 2 with periprosthetic infection were underwent revision surgery.Deep frozen cancellous bone allograft was sterilized and morselized to particles with the size of 7 to 10 mm.After removal of loosed acetabular component,the bone grafts were impacted into the acetabular defects area to restore the bone quantity.Titanium wire mesh with appropriate diameter was chosen to fix on impacted bone graft and fixed acetabulum with screws.Polyethylene cup was cemented in the mesh wire with proper position.Harris hip score system was used to evaluate the hip joint function.The AP pelvis X-ray was taken at 1 week,3 months,12 months and annually thereafter postoperatively to evaluate the rotation center,fusion of the bone graft and loosening of cup.Results All patients were followed up with the average period 5.1 years (3-7 years).The average Harris hip score before revision was 43.75±13.45,while the score was 85.33±7.84 at last follow-up (t=7.930,P=0.000).The average height of hip rotation center of surgical side was 3.49±0.77 cm before surgery,while its height at last follow-up was 2.22±0.22 cm (t=4.390,P=0.005).The distance between hip rotation center and the base of acetabulum was 3.54±0.45 cm before surgery,while its value was 3.52± 0.76 cm at last follow-up.All the bone grafts came to infusion with the average time 12 months (9-15 months).There was no case with cup migration more than 4 mm or rotation greater than 5° at last follow-up.One patient had the symptom of sciatic nerve injury.No case was with infection or dislocation.Conclusion In the treatment of acetabular bone defects,wire mesh and impact bone allograft with cemented cup in revision total hip arthroplasty can reconstruct hip rotation center and the acetabular bone quantity effectively.Satisfied early-midterm curative effects could be acquired by using this method.

BACKGROUND:Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic disease characterized as cartilage degeneration and hyperostosis to impact the soft tissues around the joints, thereby resulting in joint pain, and it can be aggravated and lead to joint deformity after weight-bearing. OBJECTIVE:On the basis of imaging parameters of knee osteoarthritis patients and normal controls, a model was established. And then, knee squatting movement was simulated on the model and stress data from the cartilage surface of patients and normal controls were colected and compared, thereby to obtain the stress characteristics of the cartilage surface in knee osteoarthritis patients. METHODS: There were 30 knee osteoarthritis patients and 30 healthy volunteers in the study. CT and MRI data from these participants were colected and analyzed using Mimics software and simpleware software to establish a model. Based on this model, cartilage-related stress data were harvested from knee osteoarthritis patients and healthy volunteers and compared to summarize the stress characteristics of the articular cartilage in patients with knee osteoarthritis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In knee osteoarthritis patients, the stress on the cartilage surface from standing to squatting was increased in a nonlinear manner. During the process of squatting, the mediolateral stress was higher in the knee osteoarthritis patients than healthy controls (P < 0.05); however, there was no difference in the proximodistal and anteroposterior cartilage surface stress between the two groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that the knee osteoarthritis musculoskeletal model and finite element model are established successfuly, and these models are closer to the real motion characteristics of the knee joints, based on which, quantitative biomechanical data of the knee can be provided for knee osteoarthritis treatment.

Objective To determine the incidence of avascular necrosis after closed reduction and cannulated compression screws fixation of intra-capsular femoral neck fracture and to investigate the multiple factors correlated to avascular femoral head necrosis.Methods All the patients of intra-capsular femoral neck fracture who accepted closed reduction and cannulated compression screws fixation between 2001 and 2010 in Jiangsu Province were reviewed in multi-centers retrospectively.The multiple factors were analyzed including age,gender,affected side,mechanism of injury,fracture classification,procedure delay,quality of reduction,time of full-weight-bearing,configuration of the screws and removal of the screws.Multiple correlation factors were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 statistic system.Results Complete case records were documented in 1849 cases who were followed up for an average 6.5±2.7 years (range,2-10 years).Avascular necrosis occurred in 246 cases (13.3％).The average time of diagnosis of avascular necrosis was 17±4.6months (range,8-72 months) after injury.The average Harris score of the hips which didn't develop to avascular necrosis was 93.8±8.9 (range,78～100) at the last follow up.Multiple correlation factors analysis indicated that displacement degrees of fracture and the quality of reduction were significantly correlated to the incidence of avascular necrosis (OR=2.078,3.423).Conclusion Closed reduction and cannulated compression screws fixation after the intra-capsular femoral neck fracture can get satisfactory results.Displacement degrees of fracture and the quality of reduction are significantly correlated to the incidence of avascular femoral head necrosis.

OBJECTIVEBy bioinformatics method, the effect in hematopoietic system of bioactive peptide HP-6, which was obtained from donkey serum albumin and is one of the major protein components from donkey-hide gelatin, was investigated.

METHODHuman bone marrow nucleated cells (hBMNCs) and murine bone marrow stromal cells (mBMSCs) were separated and cultured with different concentration of peptide HP-6 (0.000 15, 0.001 5, 0.015, 0.15, 1.5 micromol x L(-1)). The effect on promoting proliferation of cells related to hematopoiesis in bone morrow was detected and the ultrastructure of cells after treated by HP-6 was observed through transmission electron microscope. Hemorrhage anemia mouse model and anemia mouse model induced by cyclophosphamide were established, and randomly divided into peptide HP-6 groups which were administered respectively with different doses (1, 0.1, 0.01 mg x kg(-1)) by gavage, and control group which was administered with PBS by gavage. Peripheral blood components of all mice and bone morrow cells (BMC) number of mice induced by cyclophosphamide were evaluated.

RESULTPeptide HP-6 could concentration-related promote the proliferation of hBMNCs and mBMSCs, hBMNCs got the highest reproduction rate of 152.11% and mBMSCs also got 63.52% with the concentration of 0.15 micromol x L(-1), then the reproduction rate decreased while the concentration kept increasing. The transmission electron microscope showed that ultrastructure of cells was normal after treated by HP-6.1 mg x kg(-1) peptide HP-6 significantly increased peripheral platelet and protected mouse morrow injured by cyclophoshamide. 0.1 mg x kg(-1) peptide HP-6 significantly increased peripheral platelet with relative growth rate of 77.65%, increased peripheral white blood cells count and peripheral red blood cells count, also could protect mouse peripheral blood after treated by chemotherapeutics.

CONCLUSIONPeptide HP-6 could promote the proliferation of cells related to hematopoietic system, enhance mouse hemopoiesis function and the resistance to chemotherapeutic injury.

Objective: To investigate the effects of capsular repair versus that of unrepaired capsulotomy during hip arthroscopy in treating femoracetabular impingement (FAI). Methods: A total of 102 cases with FAI who underwent hip arthroscopy from July 2014 to August 2017 were collected retrospectively. Patients were divided into unrepaired group (64 cases) and repair group (38 cases) according to capsular management strategies. In the repair group, in addition to the management of osteochondroplasty of pincer and cam deformity and labral repair, the capsulotomies were routinely repaired. Modified Harris hip score (mHHS), nonarthritic hip score (NAHS), and hip outcome score activity of daily living scale (HOS-ADL) were used to evaluate the clinical outcomes. The preoperative hip scores and those at 1 year postoperative follow up were collected. Operation duration and occurrence of complication were also collected. Results: There were 28 males and 36 females in the unrepaired group, while 17 males and 21 females were in the repair group. The average age were 38.59±11.27 years and 37.64±11.10 years respectively. There were 18 pincer deformities, 12 cam deformities and 34 mixed deformities in the unrepaired group, while 7 pincer deformities, 7 cam deformities and 24 mixed deformities in the repair group. There was no difference in gender, average age and impingement type between two groups (P>0.05). The preoperative mHHS score, NAHS score and HOS-ADL score were 59.56±12.44, 58.79±12.90 and 64.11±14.43 in the unrepaired group. These scores elevated to 85.52±4.69, 80.76±5.27 and 86.08±5.85 at 1 year follow up. The preoperative mHHS score, NAHS score and HOS-ADL score were 61.68±12.41, 60.62±10.48 and 65.27±17.47 in the repair group. These scores elevated to 88.84±3.46, 89.24±3.94 and 91.03±3.97 at 1 year follow up. The scores in the repair group were higher than those in unrepaired group at 1 year follow up (P<0.05). The average operation duration was 137.62±31.21 minutes and 151.35±31.55 minutes (P<0.05), respectively. The complication occurrence rate in unrepaired group was 31% (20/64) and 24% (9/38) in repaired group with no statistical difference between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion During hip arthroscopy in treating FAI, short-term clinical results could be achieved after routine repair of capsulotomy without increased risk of complication.

Objective To investigate the patellofemoral joint overstuffing in total knee replacement without patella resurfacing and try to define the incidence and the mechanism.Methods The imaging data of 117 patients (37 males and 80 females;55-73 years old with a mean age of 65.4±5.63) who underwent TKA operation without patella resurfacing for terminal osteoarthritis were analyzed retrospectively between 2005 to 2015.The DR X-ray system was used to get the full extension lateral films preand post-operatively (within one week) and to complete the digital measurement with the built-in PACS system.The involved parameters included patella thickness,anterior femur offset and patella femur distance pre-and post-operatively.The postoperative patellofemoral joint overstuffing was defined as the over 1 mm increase in the postoperative patella femur distance when compared with that preoperatively.The differences between the overstuffing group and non-overstuffing group and the characteristics between male group and female group were compared.Results The postoperative patella femur distance was 33.10± 1.56 mm,which was significantly thicker than that preoperatively (30.69± 1.45 mm).The anterior femur offset (6.93±0.36 mm) at postoperative was significantly larger than that at preoperative (4.50±0.92 mm).Postoperative patellofemoral joint overstuffing occurred in 79 patients with the incidence of 67.5％.There was no difference in the incidence of postoperative patellofemoral joint overstuffing among different manufacturers.In overstuffing group,the preoperative anterior femur offset was 3.89±0.21 mm,which was significantly less than that in none-overstuffing group (5.72±0.24 mm).However,there was no statistical difference between the two groups in preoperative patella thickness,postoperative patella thickness and postoperative anterior femur offset.The incidence of postoperative overstuffing in female group was 78.8％ (63/80),which was significantly higher than that in male group which was 43.2％ (16/37).The preoperative anterior femur offset (4.30±0.81 mm) in female was significantly less than that in man (4.94±1.00mm).The relative risk for postoperative overstuffing in female was 1.82.Conclusion Patellofemoral joint overstuffing occupies 67.5％ total knee replacement without patella resurfacing.Female patients have a higher incidence of patellofemoral joint overstuffing,which may be caused by the thinner anterior femoral offset in anatomy.

Objective:To investigate the effects of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) combined with hip arthroscopy in treating adult developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).Methods:A total of sixty-one patients with DDH who received PAO surgery were enrolled in the present retrospective study. Of all patients, forty of them were treated by PAO combined with open arthrotomy from December 2015 to June 2018 as arthrotomy group. There were three males and 37 females in this group. Twenty-one DDH patients, including 2 males and 19 females, were treated by PAO combined with hip arthroscopy from July 2018 to June 2019 as arthroscopy group. The average ages were 31.08±11.24 and 33.25±11.70 years, respectively. Radiological parameters before and after surgery were compared between two groups. Modified Harris hip score (mHHS), nonarthritic hip score (NAHS), hip outcome score activity of daily living scale (HOS-ADL) at 6 months and 12 months postoperatively were compared between two groups.Results:The preoperative LCE (lateral center edge) angle, ACE (anterior center edge) angle, T?nnis angle, extrusion index in each group were 8.53°±9.09° vs. 9.15°±10.86°, 13.69°±12.43° vs. 7.18°±15.74°, 20.12°±6.24° vs. 22.13°±8.86° and 38.97%±7.55% vs. 37.64%±10.01% respectively. There was no statistical difference between two groups. Cam deformity (α angle >50°) existed in 17 patients (81%, 17/21) in arthroscopy group and in 31 patients (78%, 31/40) in arthrotomy group without significant difference between two groups (χ 2=0.096, P=0.756). At 12 months follow-up, all radiological parameters were improved from those before surgery. The LCE angle, ACE angle, T?nnis angle, extrusion index were 34.29°±5.07° vs. 32.76°±9.48°, 32.87°±4.23° vs. 30.26°±5.39°, -1.82°±5.88° vs. 2.16°±7.89° and 16.81%±4.53% vs. 18.20%±9.16% between groups without significant difference. The preoperative mHHS, NAHS, HOS-ADL in two groups were 60.38±12.19, 50.90±8.54, 72.23±11.86 and 60.00±13.53, 52.55±7.92, 72.70±12.18 respectively. At 12 months, there was no statistical difference in mHHS between the two groups (87.90±4.34 vs. 86.50±5.11, t=1.135, P=0.261). The NAHS and HOS-ADL in arthroscopy group were higher than those in arthrotomy group at 12 months follow-up (88.71±4.49 vs. 82.17±5.23, t=6.066, P<0.001; 90.33±2.71 vs. 87.12±3.33, t=3.800, P<0.001). Conclusion:During PAO in treating DDH, better short-term clinical results could be achieved when it combined with hip arthroscopy.
