Objective:To compare the efficacy of active warming versus conventional warming during the perioperative period of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fracture in elderly patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 312 elderly patients with femoral neck fracture who underwent robot-assisted THA at Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi ′an Jiaotong University from January 2024 to January 2025, including 196 males and 116 females, aged 65-89 years [(77.0±7.3)years]. Among them, 156 patients received standardized thermal management (active warming group), involving the administration of pre-warmed intravenous fluids and use of an inflatable warming blanket preoperatively, combined application of a forced-air warming system and warmed fluids intraoperatively, and transfer to a temperature-controlled ward combined with a foot circulatory compression device postoperatively. The other 156 patients received conventional warming with cotton quilts (conventional warming group), involving no administration of pre-warmed intravenous fluids preoperatively, use of warmed fluids intraoperatively, and transfer to a standard ward without the use of a foot circulatory compression device postoperatively. Core body temperature was compared between the two groups at 30 minutes preoperatively, 30 minutes intraoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and at 1 hour, 1 day, 5 days, and 7 days postoperatively. Changes in the coagulation function, including prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed at 1 day preoperatively and at 1, 5, and 7 days postoperatively. Length of hospital stay and incidence of postoperative complications (incision infection, deep vein thrombosis, cardiac complications, and unplanned reoperations) were also recorded. Results:The core body temperature at 30 minutes intraoperatively, immediately postoperatively and at 1 hour postoperatively was (36.77±0.17)℃, (36.29±0.14)℃, and (36.35±0.14)℃ in the active warming group, significantly higher than (36.12±0.27)℃, (35.49±0.25)℃, and (35.67±0.29)℃ in the conventional warming group ( P<0.01). No significant differences in body temperature were observed between the two groups at 30 minutes preoperatively, at 1, 5, or 7 days postoperatively ( P>0.05). At 1 day postoperatively, the PT, TT and APTT were (8.5±1.3)seconds, (10.0±0.9)seconds and (24.8±2.3)seconds, significantly lower than (9.7±1.3)seconds, (12.1±1.5)seconds and (29.2±2.7)seconds in the conventional warming group ( P<0.01). There were no significant differences in PT, TT, APTT or CRP levels between the two groups at 1 day preoperatively or at 5 and 7 days postoperatively ( P>0.05). The CRP level at 1 day postoperatively was (8.0±3.0)mg/L in the active warming group, significantly lower than (13.5±3.2)mg/L in the conventional warming group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in CRP between the two groups at 1 day preoperatively or at 5 and 7 days postoperatively ( P>0.05). The average length of hospital stay was (12.2±1.4)days in the active warming group, significantly shorter than (14.9±1.4)days in the conventional warming group ( P<0.01). The perioperative complication rate was 6.4% (10/156) in the active warming group, significantly lower than 17.9% (28/156) in the conventional warming group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:For elderly patients with femoral neck fracture operated via robot-assisted THA, active warming during the perioperative period can more effectively maintain intraoperative normothermia, improve early postoperative coagulation function, reduce inflammatory response, shorten the length of hospital stay, and decrease complication rate when compared with conventional warming.

Objective To establish a rat model of cardiac insufficiency complicated with diabetes mellitus (DM), and to meet the needs of clinical and laboratory studies. Methods Forty-five male specific pathogen free (SPF) rats were ran-domly divided into three groups:normal control group (A, n=10 ), coarctation of the aorta (AAC) group (B, n=10), AAC+DM group (C, n=25). The model of cardiac insufficiency with abdominal aortic constriction was establish in B and C groups. Af-ter two months of AAC, rats of group C were randomly divided into five subgroups and treated with different doses of strepto-zotocin (STZ) respectively(40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 mg/kg). The dynamic changes of general condition and weights were ob-served during the process of experiment. The blood glucose levels of 72 h and 4 week after STZ injection were detected. The echocardiograph and cardiac pathology changes were evaluated after 1 month of STZ injection. Results The general data in-cluding blood glucose levels, echocardiographic findings and myocardial tissue microscopic morphology were compared be-tween different doses of STZ groups. The 45 mg/kg STZ was considered for more stable model of cardiac dysfunction compli-cated with diabetes mellitus. Conclusion The rat model of cardiac insufficiency complicated with diabetes mellitus is estab-lished by single dose injection of 45 mg/kg STZ after two-month AAC, which is a simple, reliable and high stability method.
