The incidence of osteoarthritis(OA)has been gradually increasing among China's middle-aged and elderly population, creating a significant burden on healthcare systems.As the co-morbidity patterns of metabolic diseases and OA are increasingly being explored, OA is being redefined as a systemic disease driven by metabolic inflammation.This article focuses on the interactions between metabolic disorders and chronic inflammation in OA, summarizing the regulation of OA through cross-organ interaction mechanisms.The aim is to deepen the understanding of the complex pathophysiological network of OA and to propose potential new therapeutic directions.

BACKGROUND:Calcaneal defects are common in clinical practice.It is difficult for surgeons to evaluate the effect of calcaneal reconstruction due to the complex anatomical structure and motor function of the heel.Finite element analysis has become an effective method for biomechanical behavior simulation and numerical analysis. OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical effect and biomechanical characteristics of total calcaneal reconstruction with the Ⅱ-shaped and V-shaped fibular flap. METHODS:CT images of one left foot of a healthy 50-year-old male were acquired.Mimics software was used to obtain the preliminary three-dimensional model.Geomagic software was used to trim and curve the model.The model was imported into Solidworks software to simulate calcaneal reconstruction and complete the pre-processing of finite element calculation.Finally,Ansys software was used to solve the problem.The simulation results were compared with previous literature results to verify the effectiveness of the model.The surgical effect and biomechanical characteristics of the foot in different gait phases based on the simulated stress results were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Both Ⅱ-shaped and V-shaped fibular flaps could be used to reconstruct completely missing calcaneus,which could restore the length,width and height of normal calcaneus,and fill up the missing calcaneus bone.(2)Compared with the normal calcaneus,both configurations of fibular flaps showed a tendency for over-concentration of stress after loading.The normal calcaneus stress was mostly concentrated around the calcaneus nodule,the subtalar process and the calcaneus groove,while the stress of the two fibular flaps was mostly concentrated at the junction between the bone flap with the talus and cuboid bones.(3)The maximum stress of calcaneus was different between the two models and normal calcaneus under different simulation conditions,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Compared with the V-shaped fibular flaps,Ⅱ-shaped fibular flaps had less force change in different gaits and were closer to the normal calcaneus.The V-shaped fibular flap bore excessive stress during the period of push-off,and the grafted bone material may yield under this condition and have the risk of fractures.

OBJECTIVE: This work aimed to study and identify the influence and target gene of microRNA-29a-3p (miR-29a-3p) in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in a high-fat environment in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: 1) In vitro: BMSCs were randomly allocated into two groups and were then induced to undergo osteogenic differentiation in a normal or high-fat environment. Next, a miR-29a-3p mimic/inhibitor was transfected into the two groups of cells. The mRNA expression levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Runt related gene 2 (Runx2), and miR-29a-3p and the protein expression levels of ALP and Runx2 were detected before and after transfection through reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot analyses. Moreover, Frizzled (Fzd) 4 was predicted as the target gene of miR-29a-3p by using an online database (Target Scan, MiRNA.org). The interactive relationship between miR-29a-3p and Fzd4 was confirmed through dual-luciferase assays. 2) In vivo: Rats were randomly divided into two groups and fed with a standard or high-fat diet. Titanium implants were grown in rats. Then, the expression levels of miR-29a-3p, ALP, and Runx2 were detected in bone tissues surrounding implants. Moreover, hard tissue sections were subjected to methylene blue-acid magenta staining and observed under microscopy to study bone formation around implants. In addition, miR-29a-3p-overexpressing lentiviral vectors were transfected into rats, and the expression levels of ALP, Runx2, and miR-29a-3p in bone tissues surrounding implants were detected at 3 and 10 days after transfection. RESULTS: The expression levels of ALP, Runx2, and miR-29a-3p and the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs were suppressed in high-fat groups in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS MiR-29a-3p plays a positive role in the regulation of BMSCs in a high-fat environment. It can increase ALP and Runx2 expression levels in bone tissues surrounding implants in hyperlipidemia models. This result implies that miR-29a-3p can promote implant osseointergration in a rat model of hyperlipidemia.

Objective To evaluate the safety,feasibility of the application of "four-quadrant" tumor target-artery positioning in "zero-ischemia" retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 25 patients who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy from November 2016 to March 2017 by single surgeon.There were 15 males and 10 females with a mean age of (52.6 ± 11.9) years old.The mean diameter of the tumor was (3.8 ± 0.5) cm.The mean R.E.N.A.L.score was (9.0±1.3).The mean GFR of the operation side was (49.2±11.4) ml/(min · 1.73 m2) before the operation.All 25 patients underwent 3 Dimentional CT for the reconstruction of their renal models.The tumor target-artery was located in "four-quadrant" system,which based on the boundary between tumor and renal parenchyma.Perioperative outcomes including the estimated blood loss (EBL),operation time,complications and oncological outcomes were carefully collected and analyzed.Results Of all the 25 patients,21 patients underwent "zero-ischemia" retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy,the mean operation time was (106.1 ± 18.8) min,the mean EBL was (162.2 ±68.0) ml with no transfusion case.4 patients converted to conventional retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy,the operation time was 110-140 min,the EBL was 350-500 ml and the warm-ischemia time was 12-20 min respectively.The pathological outcome shows renal cell carcinoma in 24 patients and papillary renal cell carcinoma in 1 patient with all negative margins.The mean GFR of the operation side was (45.1 ± 10.2) ml/(min · 1.73 m2) after three months of the surgery and shows no statistical difference (P =0.268).Conclusion The application of the "four-quadrant" tumor target-artery positioning in " zeroischemia" retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a safety and feasible method in terms of accurate location of the target-artery,better postoperative renal function,low EBL and reasonable oncological outcomes.

Ojective To compara the individual differences and clinical efficacy of cis-atracurium intermittent bolus injected according to fat-free mass and real body weight. Methods Forty patients (ASAI-II) who had no neuromuscular disease and underwent selective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into group FFM (n=20) and group RBW(n=20) according to the different administration method. The responses of adductor pollicis to train-of-four (TOF) stimulation were monitored. Anesthesia was induced with propofol 2 mg/kg, fentanyl 3 ug/kg, cis-atracurium 129.6μg/kg (group FFM) or 100μg /kg (group RBW),and maintained with propofol and fentanyl given by target-controlled infusion. Intubation was attempted when T1 reached maximal inhibition. When the TOF stimulus T1 recovery to 5%, both group additional cis-atracurium 64.8 μg/kg (group FFM) or 50μg /kg (group RBW). The onset time, nonresponsive time, clinical duration, recovery index, pharmacological duration, cis-atracurium consumption, interval and frequency were recorded. Results No significant differences were found in general, interval, frequency,onset time, clinical duration, nonresponsive time,recovery index, pharmacological duration between the two groups (P > 0.05); There were significant differences in the cisatracurium consumption between two groups (P < 0.05); Compare with the group RBW, the differences of pharmacological duration and nonresponsive time between different individuals in group FFM were smaller (P < 0.05). Conclusion It can reduce the individual differences of muscle relaxant effect to apply cis-atracurium and cis-atracurium consumption according to fat-free mass.
