BACKGROUND:Traditional Chinese medicine compound prescription has a long history in the treatment of primary osteoporosis,and the curative effect is definite,but the medication rule and mechanism are not clear. OBJECTIVE:Using the methodology of data mining and network pharmacology,to explore and verify the law of drug use and molecular mechanism of modern traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of primary osteoporosis. METHODS:The relevant documents included in CNKI,WanFang,VIP and PubMed were used as data sources,and the relevant data were statistically counted and extracted by Microsoft EXCEL2019,IBMSPSS25.0 and other software.The high-frequency drugs obtained from the data statistics were analyzed by association rules analysis and cluster analysis,and the core drug combination of traditional Chinese medicine compound prescription in the treatment of primary osteoporosis was obtained by combining the two results.The therapeutic mechanism of this combination was explained by network pharmacology and verified by molecular docking. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Finally,151 articles were included and 207 prescriptions were selected,involving 285 flavors of Chinese herbs.(1)Ten groups of important drug combinations were obtained through the above two analyses,among which the core drug combination with the highest confidence and improvement was"Drynaria-Eucommia-Angelica."The key components of the combination in the treatment of primary osteoporosis were quercetin,kaempferol,naringenin and so on.The core targets were SRC proto-oncogene,phosphoinositide-3-Kinase regulatory subunit 1 and RELA proto-oncogene.The main pathways were cancer signaling pathway,JAK-STAT signaling pathway,VEGF signaling pathway,and NF-κB signaling pathway.(2)The key active components were docked with the core targets,and the two showed a good combination.To conclude,Chinese herbal compound therapy in the treatment of primary osteoporosis can use a variety of active components to exert its efficacy through multiple signal pathways and acting on multiple targets,which can provide a theoretical basis for the research and development of new drugs for the follow-up treatment of primary osteoporosis.

Objective:To establish a three-dimensional model of locking plate fixation for 42A2 type oblique tibial fractures with different fracture line directions and different angles between the fracture line and the long axis of the tibia. Finite element analysis was used to calculate and analyze the biomechanics of locking plate, screw, and tibia, providing theoretical basis for clinical application.Methods:A healthy adult volunteer, 25 years old, male, with a height of 173 cm and a weight of 69.5 kg, was selected to perform computed tomography (CT) scans on the left tibia. Relevant data were obtained to establish a locking steel plate fixation model for 42A2 type tibia with different oblique fracture line directions and different angles between the fracture line and the long axis of the tibia. Eight hole pure titanium plates were used for fixation, respectively. We compared the Mises stress changes of locking plates, screws, and tibia in different angle fracture models.Results:In the case of a 42A2 type fracture in the left oblique direction with a fracture line from outside to inside, the maximum Mises stress in the tibia was 114 MPa, the maximum Mises stress in the screw was 279.8 MPa, and the maximum Mises stress in the locking steel plate was 302.4 MPa; In the case of a 42A2 type fracture in the right oblique fracture with a fracture line from the bottom to the top, the maximum Mises stress of the tibia was 93.41MPa, the maximum Mises stress of the screw was 353.4 MPa, and the maximum Mises stress of the locking steel plate was 411.8 MPa.Conclusions:Regardless of the oblique fractures in both left and right directions, the maximum stress values are: locking plate>screw>tibia; When the position of the locking steel plate is fixed, the maximum stress values of the locking steel plate and screw are both right oblique fracture>left oblique fracture; And the maximum stress values all increase with the increase of angle.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA) in elderly patients with chronic heart failure(CHF) complicated with sarcopenia, and to provide a theoretical reference for clinical application.Methods:This study was a prospective randomized controlled study. 110 elderly CHF patients with myopenia admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Hefei from January 2019 to February 2022 were selected. Using the random number table method, 56 cases were divided into an observation group and 54 cases into a control group. Before treatment, the control group of patients underwent a selective single assessment based on the hospital's requirements and the patient's actual situation, including a fall risk assessment, nutritional risk screening checklist assessment, and routine medication to improve cardiac function and prognosis; Before treatment, the patients in the observation group were assessed with CGA, including the assessment of physical function, mental and psychological status, multiple drug management, pain, Sleep disorder, and social environment. According to the assessment results, individual diagnosis and treatment plans were formulated, implemented, and dynamically adjusted. The two groups were treated for 12 weeks. The general information, treatment compliance, B-type brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, left ventricular Ejection fraction (LVEF), 6 min walking distance (6MWD), arm strength of upper limbs and 6 m walking speed, clinical efficacy and prognosis of the two groups were compared before and after treatment. The measurement data is represented by xˉ± s, group t-tests are used for inter group comparison, and paired t-tests are used for intra group comparison before and after treatment; Counting data is represented as an example (%), and inter group comparisons are made using χ 2 test, non parametric rank sum test was used for inter group comparison of hierarchical data. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, course of CHF, smoking, alcohol consumption, number of comorbidities, cardiac function grading, and treatment compliance between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05), indicating comparability. Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in plasma BNP, LVEF, 6MWD, upper limb grip strength, and 6-meter walking speed between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05); After treatment, the BNP of both groups of patients was lower than before treatment and the observation group was lower than the control group. LVEF, 6MWD, upper limb grip strength, and 6-meter walking speed were all higher than before treatment and the observation group was higher than the control group [(343.45±34.95) ng/L vs (387.09±46.96) ng/L, (49.61±7.11)% vs (42.94±5.72)%, (348.92±37.73) m vs (297.74±43.48) m, (22.64±3.82) kg vs (19.48±3.88) kg, (0.97±0.10) m/s vs (0.83±0.12) m/s], The differences were statistically significant ( t-values were 5.51, -5.40, -6.60, -4.31, -6.60, all P<0.001). After 12 weeks of treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in clinical efficacy between the two groups of patients ( P=0.216), but the overall poor prognosis rate in the follow-up observation group was lower than that in the control group [7.14%(4/56) vs 22.22% (12/54)], and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=5.03, P=0.025). Conclusions:Developing, implementing, and dynamically adjusting the individualized treatment plan involving CGA can improve the prognosis of elderly CHF patients with sarcopenia, help improve cardiac function, increase grip strength and somatic function, and reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events ,all-cause mortality in elderly patients with CHF combined with sarcopeni and has certain clinical application value.

Objective:To investigate the factors for and prevention of muscular calf vein thrombosis (MCVT) after unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:Between January 2018 and October 2020, 551 patients were admitted to Department of Orthopedics, The First Affiliated Hospital to Zhengzhou University for unilateral TKA. They were 187 males and 364 females, aged from 32 to 90 years (average, 64.6 years) and with 234 left and 317 right knees affected. They were assigned into a MCVT group ( n=77) and a non-MCVT group ( n=474) according to whether or not MCVT had happened at 7 days after operation. Recorded were the patients’ baseline information, tourniquet time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative prothrombin time (PT), postoperative thrombin time (TT), postoperative fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer, platelet count (PLT), postoperative bed time, knee society score (KSS), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) fall time, and C-reactive protein (CRP) fall time so as to analyze the risk factors for MCVT. Results:There were significant differences between the 2 groups in age [(66.8±7.0) versus (64.2±9.6) years], body mass index (BMI) [(28.7±2.2) versus (25.0±2.4) kg/m 2], smoking (20/57 versus 41/433), diabetes (56/21 versus 172/302), primary hypertension (45/32 versus 174/300), coronary heart disease (50/27 versus204/270), hyperlipidemia (33/44 versus 149/325), varicosity (50/27 versus 166/308), tourniquet time [(97.9±22.6) versus (83.1±10.6) min], intraoperative blood loss [(73.2±40.6) versus (62.4±11.5) mL], postoperative PT [(10.7±0.8) versus (11.9±1.0) s], TT [(15.2±1.3) versus (17.2±2.4) s], FIB [(3.7±0.8) versus (3.2±0.5) g/L], D-dimer [(1.1±1.0) versus (0.8±0.3) μg/L], PLT [(233.4±68.5) versus (178.5±27.8) 10 9/L], postoperative bed time [(17.3±2.6) versus (14.6±3.8) h], KSS [(3.32±0.7) versus (3.61±0.56) points], ESR fall time [(2.90±0.74) versus (1.55±0.64) d] and CRP fall time [(2.90±0.74) versus (1.55±0.64) d] (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that old age (95% CI: 0.890 to 1.112, P=0.034), high BMI (95% CI: 1.012 to 1.214, P=0.046), diabetes (95% CI: 1.002 to 2.590, P=0.020), D-dimer (95% CI: 1.239 to 10.292, P=0.001) and postoperative PLT (95% CI: 1.012 to 1.112, P=0.014) were independent risk factors for MCVT. Reduced postoperative bed time (95% CI: 1.009 to 1.469, P=0.040) was a protective factor. Conclusions:As old age, high BMI, diabetes, and high postoperative levels of D-dimer and PLT may be independent risk factors for MCVT, patients with such characteristics should be alert to MCVT. Early ambulation should be encouraged in patients after unilateral TKA to reduce postoperative bed time for prevention of the disease.

Objective:To assess if metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of periprosthetic joint tissue can provide an alternative rapid and sensitive tool for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection (PJI), especially compared to microbiological culture.Methods:A total of 33 eligible patients who underwent revision arthroplasty from June 2019 to June 2020 in orthopedic surgery department of the first affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-one patients were included in PJI group according to the American Academy of Musculoskeletal Infection diagnostic criteria, with 17 cases of knee and 4 cases of hip, including 9 cases of male and 12 cases of female, with an average age of 59.14±14.55 years old (range from 28 to 84), and an average BMI of 23.7±2.8 kg/m 2 (range from 17.7 to 29.4 kg/m 2). Twelve patients were included in aseptic loosening group (control group), with 4 cases of knee and 8 cases of hip, including 4 cases of male and 8 cases of female, with an average age of 53.08±10.05 years old (range from 39 to 70), and an average BMI of 25.2±2.9 kg/m 2 (range from 18.3 to 31.2 kg/m 2 ). Microbiological culture results of synovial fluid and periprosthetic joint tissue and mNGS results of periprosthetic joint tissue were collected. The sensitivity and specificity of mNGS and microbiological culture were calculated and compared. The species of pathogenic microorganismsdetected by the two techniques were summarized. In addition, the impact of antibiotic use on the efficacy of both techniques were compared. Results:mNGS detected 13 positive cases and microbiological culture detected 6 positive cases in the PJI group. In the aseptic loosening group, 1 case was determined positive by mNGS, and all the microbiological culture results were negative. In the diagnosis of PJI, mNGS showed significantly higher sensitivity than that of culture (61.9% vs 28.6%, χ2=4.71, P=0.03), while no statistical difference was observed in terms of specificity (91.7% vs 100%, χ2=1.04, P=0.31). In the PJI cases with prior exposure to antibiotics within two weeks, the sensitivity of mNGS was significantly higher than that of culture (53.8% vs 15.4%, χ2=4.25, P=0.04). However, there was no significant difference in the sensitivity between mNGS and culture in patients without antibioticsexposure (66.7% vs 44.4%, χ2=0.90, P=0.34). In the detection of pathogenic microorganism, mNGS detected 9 kinds of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus family, Moraxella Oslo, Propionibacterium acnes, Streptococcus acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus Lyons, Bacteroides fragilis) and 2 kinds of fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida parapsilosis), while microbiological culture detected 3 kinds of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Moraxella catarrhalis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and one kind of fungi (Candida parapsilosis). mNGS and microbiological culture were both positive in 5 cases, among which 3 cases had completely matched results (Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Candida parapsilosis), one case had partly matched results (mNGS detected more bacteria than culture) and one case had totally mismatched results. Additionally, in the diagnosis of the 3 included tuberculous PJI, mNGS showed 100% specificity and sensitivity. Conclusion:mNGS of periprosthetic joint tissue is a more powerful tool for diagnosis and pathogen detection of PJI compared to microbiological culture, especially in the diagnosis of tuberculosis PJI. Besides, mNGS is more resistant to antibiotic exposure than culture.
