OBJECTIVE: To explore the early clinical efficacy of primary total hip arthroplasty(THA) with Corail standard stems (KS type) and high offset stems (KHO type), by analyzing the postoperative radiographic parameters of different offset of femoral components with Corail stem which has a neck-shaft angle of 135 ° in unilateral primary THA, by comparing the measurement results on both sides and analyzing the reconstruction of the postoperative femoral offset and the hip joint function recovery. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made of 186 patients with unilateral hip joint lesions who underwent the first total hip arthroplasty with Johnson & Johnson Corail prostheses from January 2015 to June 2017. According to the use of femoral prostheses with different eccentricities during the operation, the patients were divided into high eccentricity group and standard eccentricity group. In the high eccentricity group, there were 52 cases of Corail high eccentricity prosthesis(KHO type), including 20 females and 32 males;aged 21 to 71 years old with an average of(50.6±13.2) years;body mass index(BMI) was (26.0±4.1) kg/m². The standard eccentricity group included 134 Corail standard femoral stem prostheses(KS type), 57 females and 77 males;aged 18 to 77 years old with an average of (47.3±14.0) years;BMI was (25.3±3.5) kg/m². The abduction arm, femoral eccentricity, acetabular eccentricity and the length difference of lower limbs were measured on the postoperatively positive X-ray film of the hip joint. Harris score and related complications were recorded before and after the operation, and the stability of the prosthesis was analyzed. RESULTS: There were significant differences in femoral eccentricity, joint eccentricity and abduction arm between the affected side and the healthy side in the high eccentricity group(P<0.05). There were significant differences in femoral eccentricity and acetabular eccentricity between the affected side and the healthy side in the standard eccentricity group(P<0.05). There were significant differences in combined eccentricity, abduction arm and length of lower limbs between two groups(P<0.05). In the high eccentricity group, the abduction arm of the affected hip joint was positively correlated with the femoral eccentricity, acetabular eccentricity and joint eccentricity(r=0.633, P<0.001;r=0.384, P=0.005;r=0.690, P<0.001). The same results were also obtained in the healthy side(r=0.688, P<0.001;r=0.574, P<0.001;r=0.765, P<0.001). In the standard eccentricity group, the abduction arm of the affected hip joint was positively correlated with the femoral eccentricity, acetabular eccentricity and combined eccentricity(r=0.734, P<0.001;r=0.418, P<0.001;r=0.749, P<0.001). The same results were also obtained in the healthy side(r=0.775, P<0.001;r=0.397, P<0.001;r=0.773, P<0.001). The difference of the length of both lower limbs was significantly correlated with the difference of bilateral joint eccentricity and bilateral abduction arm (r=0.376, P=0.006;r=-0.346, P=0.012). There was no significant correlation between the difference of the length of both lower limbs and the difference of bilateral joint eccentricity and bilateral abduction arm (r=-0.009, P=0.919;r=-0.036, P=0.682). There was no significant difference in Harris score between two groups at the last follow-up(P>0.05). At the last follow-up, Trendelenburg was negative in all patients in both groups, and the prostheses were stable. CONCLUSION Both Corail standard stem and high offset stem may be effectively reconstruct the femoral offset, reconstruct the anatomical structure and biomechanics of the hip joint, and maintain the length of lower limbs and the stability of the hip joint in the unilateral primary total hip arthroplasty. Although the offset of the femur was not reconstructed normally in some cases, the stability of the components and postoperative function were not affected.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application value of next generation sequencing (NGS) in preimplantation genetic diagnosis of α/β complex thalassemia couple. METHODS: The coding regions of α-globin genes (HBA1, HBA2) and β-globin gene (HBB) were selected as the target regions. The high-density and closely linked single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites were selected as the genetic linkage markers in the upstream and downstream 2M regions of the gene. After NGS, the effective SNP sites were selected to construct the haplotype of the couple, and the risk chromosome of the mutation carried by the couple was determined. The NGS technology was used to sequence the variations of HBA1, HBA2 and HBB directly and construct haplotype linkage analysis for preimplantation genetic diagnosis. RESULTS: Direct sequencing and haplotype linkage analysis of HBA1, HBA2 and HBB showed that two of the six blastocysts were α/β complex thalassemia, one was β-thalassemia heterozygote, two were α-thalassemias heterozygotes, and one was intermediate α-thalassemia. A well-developed embryo underwent preimplantation genetic diagnosis was implanted into the mother's uterus, and a healthy infant was born at term. CONCLUSION Preimplantation genetic diagnosis can be carried out by NGS technology in α/β complex thalassemia couples, and abortion caused by aneuploid embryo selection can be avoided.

OBJECTIVE：To establis h the evaluation model of hospital pharmacist post value of dispensing department ，and to provide scientific basis for optimizing the performance management of pharmacists in despensing department in hospital. METHODS：Based on factor counting method ，combined with questionnaire ，Delphi expert correspondence method and so on ，the hospital pharmacist post value evaluation model was established. Based on this ，the relative value scores of the pharmacists in the dispensing department was determined. RESULTS ：Hospital pharmacist post value evaluation model was established with 5 evaluation dimensions （knowledge，skills，responsibility，work autonomy ，work environment and intensity ，of which the first level weight coefficients were 0.194，0.166，0.365，0.216 and 0.058，respectively）and 31 evaluation elements. The above 5 evaluation dimensions contained 5，8，9，3，6 evaluation elements ，respectively，and the corresponding second-level weights were 0.052-0.431 （for example ，responsibility dimension with the highest weight ，including quality and safety control ，decision responsibility，responsibility for finance and assets ，the corresponding second-level weight coefficients were 0.279，0.140，0.132， respectively）. The relative value scores of 13 pharmacist post were 342.9-840.4 in the dispensing department of our hospital with this model ，among which the department responsible person had the highest score （840.4）and the prescription post score was the lowest（342.9）. CONCLUSIONS ：The hospital pharmacist post value evaluation model constructed by factor counting method can provide a scientific and reliable theoretical basis for realizing the rewards of different positions in the dispensing department.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the risk factors for the failure in treating periprosthetic infection of coagulase-negative staphylococci by two-stage revision.

METHODSFrom January 2005 to June 2015, 57 patients with periprosthetic hip and knee joint infection of coagulase-negative staphylococcus by two-stage revision were retrospectively reviewed with an average age of (61.3±11.9) years old. According to the drug resistance of methicillin, the patients were divided into methicillin sensitive group(MSCoN) and methicillin resistance(MRCoN) group, 25 cases in MSCoN group(9 knees and 16 hips) included 12 males and 13 females, 32 cases in MRCoN group(11 knees and 21 hips) included 14 males and 18 females. Follow-up for at least 2 years, the inflammatory markers, incidence rate of sinus and the duration of the symptoms, reinfection or persistent infection rate after two-stage revision were compared between two groups.

RESULTSMSCoN group and MRCoN group were followed up(81.7±38.3) months and(65.9±33.8) months, respectively;23 cases and 27 cases were successfully treated;there was no significant difference between two groups(=0.643). The patients who had surgery history were 4.04 times higher of failure than the patients without a history of surgery[OR=4.04, 95%CI(0.62, 26.5)]. Patients who had sinus were 4.26 times higher of failure than the patients without sinus[OR=4.26, 95%CI(0.7, 25.9)].

CONCLUSIONSTwo-stage revision is an effective procedure in treating patients infected by MSCoN and MRCoN. There is no significant difference of treatment failure rate between MSCoN and MRCoN group by two-stage revision. Surgery history and sinus maybe the risk factors of treatment failure, while methicillin-resistance is not.
