Objective To investigate the role of hybrid bone grafting using autograft and freezedried allograft bone in restoration of acetabular bone defect,as well as to evaluate the clinical results of this grafting technique combined with acetabular scaffold in dealing with massive acetabular deficiency.Methods Between April 1999 to December 2007,18 patients (19 hips) underwent acetabular revision by using a mixture of autograft and allogenic freeze-dried cancellous bone particles plus acetabular scaffold.There were 8males and 10 females,aged from 33 to 76 years (average,64.7 years).The acetabular defects were caused by aseptic loosening of primary total hip arthroplasty in 17 patients and osteoarthritis secondary to osteotomy in 1 case of acetabular dysplasia.There were 5 cases of Paprosky Ⅱ B defect,2 Paprosky Ⅱ C defect,6 Paprosky ⅢA defect and 6 Paprosky ⅢB defect.Results All patients were followed up for 3.6 to 12.3 years (average,6.5 years).Harris hip score improved from preoperative 38.7±9.6 to 87.6±7.8 at final follow-up.According to X-rays,bone incorporation evidenced by trabecular bridging of the host-donor interface was found at 3to 6 months postoperatively,and effective bone incorporation was achieved in all cases one year postoperatively.Polyethylene wear occurred in one case.Acetabular component loosening was not found at final follow up.Conclusion Impacted bone grafting using a mixture of autograft and freeze-dried allograft bone can efficiently restore acetabular bone defect.Adding autograft bone to freeze-dried allograft bone is a highly effective way of achieving graft incorporation.Hybrid bone grafting technique with acetabulum scaffold is an attractive option for the treatment of extensive acetabular deficiency.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a semi-permeable biological barrier between brain tissue and plasma, however, its physical, enzymatic and immune properties, as well as its unique transport mechanism severely limit the entry of therapeutic drugs and diagnostic agents into the brain, which poses great challenges for the prevention and treatment of brain diseases. Hence, this review summarizes and discusses the complex structural components and various transport mechanisms of BBB, and interprets the difficulties and feasible ways of drug delivery across BBB. Furthermore, the latest research progress and future development trends of various delivery systems for brain drug delivery are introduced and discussed to provide references for further perfecting their design and driving their transformation. Finally, this review discusses the pathological changes of BBB in brain diseases and the design of drug delivery strategies for pathological BBB. Collectively, this review highlights the design and optimization of drug delivery strategies across the BBB based on nano-delivery system and provides accessible guide for current opportunities and challenges of intracerebral drug delivery.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of early indicators changes in blood test on the prognosis of patients with acute paraquat poisoning.Methods:The clinical data of patients with acute paraquat poisoning admitted to emergency department of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2012 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The changes of blood test indexes within 24 hours after admission were collected, including white blood cell count (ΔWBC), neutrophils count (ΔNE), lymphocytes count (ΔLY), monocytes count (ΔMO), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (ΔPaO 2), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (ΔPaCO 2), arterial blood pH (ΔpH), bicarbonate radical (ΔHCO 3-), base excess (ΔBE), lactate (ΔLac), total protein (ΔTP), albumin (ΔALB), alanine aminotransferase (ΔALT), aspartate aminotransferase (ΔAST), total bilirubin (ΔTBil), direct bilirubin (ΔDBil), blood urea nitrogen (ΔBUN), serum creatinine (ΔSCr), serum calcium concentration (ΔCa 2+), and serum potassium concentration (ΔK +). Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of prognosis in patients with acute paraquat poisoning, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of ROC curve for the death of patients with paraquat poisoning. Results:A total of 251 patients with acute paraquat poisoning were included, with 99 cases dead, and the mortality was 39.4%. The increase of the markers including ΔWBC, ΔLac, ΔALT, ΔAST, ΔTBil, ΔDBil, ΔBUN, ΔSCr and ΔK + within 24 hours of admission in the death group were significantly higher than that in the survival group; the decrease of the markers including ΔPaCO 2, ΔHCO 3-, ΔBE, ΔTP, and ΔALB in the death group were significantly greater than those in the survival group. The variables with statistical significance in the above single factor analysis were included in the multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The results showed that ΔLac, ΔSCr and ΔK + were independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with acute paraquat poisoning [odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were 1.662 (0.997-2.772), 1.045 (1.010-1.083) and 4.555 (1.190-17.429), respectively, all P < 0.05]. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of ΔLac, ΔSCr and ΔK + for predicting death of patients with acute paraquat poisoning was 0.639 (95% CI was 0.505-0773), 0.811 (95% CI was 0.704-0.917), and 0.649 (95% CI was 0.519-0.779), respectively. When the cut-off of ΔLac was 1.85 mmol/L, the sensitivity was 87.9%, the specificity was 47.7%, and the diagnostic accuracy was 70.2%; when the cut-off of ΔSCr was 37.75 μmol/L, the sensitivity was 84.4%, the specificity was 77.9%, and the diagnostic accuracy was 80.5%; when the cut-off of ΔK + was 0.42 mmol/L, the sensitivity was 36.6%, the specificity was 90.7%, and the diagnostic accuracy was 68.3%. The efficiency of combination of ΔLac, ΔSCr, and ΔK + was greater than a single indicator in predicting death of patients with acute paraquat poisoning, with AUC of 0.911, and 95% CI of 0.834-0.989. Conclusions:ΔLac, ΔSCr, ΔK + within 24 hours of admission were all independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with acute paraquat poisoning. ΔSCr > 37.75 μmol/L within 24 hours of admission would predict a poor prognosis in the patients with acute paraquat poisoning. Combined analysis of ΔLac, ΔSCr, and ΔK + can predict the prognosis of paraquat poisoning patients more accurately than single index.
