Acute blood loss anemia is the most common surgical complication of total knee arthroplasty. Currently, alloge?neic transfusion has been the major method of managing postoperative anemia. Although allogeneic transfusion can correct anae?mic condition temporarily, it can lead to severe complications, such as postoperative infection, prolongation of physical recovery, increased length of hospital stay, and increased mortality. Perioperative blood management can effectively reduce blood loss and transfusion rate. These strategies mainly focus on three parts:therapy for anemia and autologous blood donation before operation;application of a tourniquet, antifibrinolytic drugs, topical hemostatic agents and acute normovolemic hemodilution during opera?tion; selection of reinfusion systems, restrictive transfusion thresholds, drainage and knee position after operation. Perioperative blood management should run throughout the perioperative period, which mainly aims at reducing blood loss and blood transfu?sion, improving prognosis, promoting the postoperative recovery and lowering the medical cost. Depending on the actual situations of patients, surgeons should combine different major characteristics of each strategy and weigh the pros and cons to make effective and reasonable individualized treatment plan.

Objective To establish the method of multiple loci VNTR(variable numbers tandem-repeats) analysis (MLVA) for genotyping Leptospira interrogans serogroup ieterohaemorrhagiae . Methods Seven VNTR loci were chosen for genotyping 117 strains of L. interrogans serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae by PCR-electrophoresis-based VNTR analysis and the results were analyzed by software BioNumerics( Version 4.0). Results One hundred and seventeen isolates of L. interrogans serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae detec-ted with 7 VNTR loci were classified into three clusters(A,B,C), twenty-eight types were found, type A 11.97% (14/117), type B 0.85% (1/1 17), type C 87.18% (102/117). Diversity Indexes for the loci varied between 0.0831 and 0.8005. Clinical strains isolated from the same geographic area and belonging to the same serogroup shared a common VNTR pattern. Conclusion MLVA could be used to classify and identify Leptospira interrogans preliminarily. With the improvement of technology, this rapid and easy method should greatly contribute to a better knowledge of the epidemiology of Leptospira.

Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of green surgery pathway on senile hip fractures.
Methods:
The green surgery pathway was implement in senile (≥75 years) hip fracture cases in our department since March 2016. A historically controlled trial study was designed: 97 senile hip fracture patients admitted between March 2016 and March 2017 were included in the intervention group and 78 senile hip fracture patients admitted between March 2015 and March 2016 were included in the control group. The patients’ general information were recorded, including gender, age, type of fracture, internal medical conditions, surgery method, the American Association of Anesthesiologists classification of physical status (ASA) classification, et al. The hip function was evaluated by the Harris score system at one week,6 months and one year after surgery. The waiting time for operation, operation time, length of hospital stay, complications during hospitalization and hip Harris score were compared between the two groups.
Results:
For the baseline data between the two groups in terms of gender, age, fracture type, surgery method, ASA classification, and combined underlying disease, the differences were not statistically significant. The waiting time for operation of the green surgery pathway group (36.3±7.8 h) was significantly shorter than that in the control group (46.9±11.4 h,

Objective:To explore the efficacy of emergency ectopic embedment of a large extruded bone mass in the treatment of open lower limb bone defects.Methods:From June 2015 to June 2019, 11 patients were treated for open lower limb bone defects at Department of Traumatic Orthopedics & Microsurgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University by primary ectopic embedment of a large extruded bone mass. They were 8 males and 3 females, aged from 18 to 57 years (mean, 35.3 years). The time from injury to operation ranged from 4 to 12 hours (mean, 6.3 hours). The size of free bone mass ranged from 3 to 16 cm (mean, 8.7 cm). At the emergency primary stage, following vascular and nerve anastomosis, large extruded bone masses were embedded ectopically to the sites with rich blood supply after cleaning and disinfection. The embedment was lateral to the thigh in 9 cases and in the groin in 2 cases. Wound repair was performed at the second stage, and bone replantation at the third stage, followed by internal plate fixation in 6 cases and external fixation in 5 cases. Fracture union was evaluated by regular X-ray follow-ups. At the last follow-up, Paley score was used to evaluate the curative outcomes, SF-36 score to evaluate functional recovery, and complications were recorded.Results:All patients were followed up for 6 to 50 months (mean, 15.5 months). Follow-ups observed no osteomyelitis. Fracture union was delayed in the 2 cases with external fixation but eventually achieved after bone graft and internal fixation. All fractures united after 5 to 12 months (mean, 8.5 months). The total treatment time ranged from 8 to 16 months (mean, 12.5 months). According to the Paley scores at the last follow-up, 7 cases were excellent, 3 good and one was poor, giving an excellent to good rate of 90.9% (10/11). The SF-36 scores for the postoperative quality of life averaged 86.7.Conclusion:Emergency ectopic embedment of a large extruded bone mass is a feasible treatment for open lower limb bone defects, with advantages of simplicity in operation and a low incidence of osteomyelitis.

Objective:To investigate the antibacterial and osteogenic properties of biomimetic mineralized iodine-loaded coating with micro-nano topography on the surface of bone implants.Methods:After the fiber network structure of sodium hydrogen titanate was constructed by alkali thermal reaction on the surface of Ti6Al4V (noted as AT), it was biomimetically mineralized in the modified simulated body fluid to form a micro-nano topology with high specific surface area (noted as AT-CaP), and finally loaded with PVPI to construct a novel antibacterial osseointegration coating (noted as AT-CaP-PVPI). The study was conducted in AT, AT-CaP, and AT-CaP-PVPI groups, in each of which 3 parallel experiments were performed. The morphology and colony counting of Staphylococcus aureus on the coating surface were observed to detect the in vitro antibacterial performance of the coating. Fifteen male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=5): AT, AT-CaP, and AT-CaP-PVPI. After intramedullary injection of Staphylococcus aureus into the lower end of the femur in the SD rats, titanium rods coated with AT, AT-CaP, and AT-CaP-PVPI were inserted into the marrow cavity. The osteogenesis, volume ratio of new bone mass and number of trabeculae on the surface of the femoral implants were compared between the 3 groups 4 weeks after operation. Results:In AT and AT-CaP groups, a large number of bacteria grew in their inherent elliptical or spherical shape on the implant surface and a large number of colonies were seen on the plate; in AT-CaP-PVPI group, the bacteria on the coating surface exhibited membrane deformation and depression, some of them were completely broken and dissolved, and a large number died. There was almost no new bone formation around the implants in AT group; new bone scattered around the implants with discontinuous distribution in AT-CaP group; a great amount of new bone was seen around the implants with even distribution but no signs of infection in AT-CaP-PVPI group. The volume ratio of new bone mass and the number of trabeculae on the implant surface in AT-CaP-PVPI group were 0.453±0.206 and 6.055±0.536, respectively, significantly higher than those in AT group (0.046±0.028 and 1.667±1.249) and AT-CaP group (0.188±0.052 and 3.804±0.889) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Biomimetic mineralized iodine-loaded coating with micro-nano topography on the surface of bone implants shows good antibacterial and osteogenic properties.
