Objective:To evaluate the curative effects of 3D printed microporous titanium (tantalum) prosthesis in reconstruction of large segmental bone defects caused by lower extremity osteomyelitis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 18 patients who had been treated for large segmental bone defects caused by lower extremity osteomyelitis between January 2020 to May 2022 at Department of Orthopaedics, The 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force. There were 10 males and 8 females with an age of (45.3±14.1) years. The defects were at the left side in 13 cases and at the right side in 5 cases, at the femur in 11 cases and at the tibia in 7 cases. The duration of osteomyelitis was 1.0 (1.0, 3.5) years. The length of bone defects was 8.35 (6.50, 9.84) cm. Their bone defects were repaired by an individually 3D printed microporous titanium (tantalum) prosthesis after operative removal of osteomyelitis lesions. The wound healing was observed after surgery. The clinical efficacy was comprehensively evaluated by the Paley grading for bone defect healing, visual analog scale (VAS), lower extremity functional scale (LEFS), and imaging examination.Results:The postoperative follow-up period for the 18 patients was (12.2±0.3) months. Wound infection occurred 2 months after surgery in one patient who was treated with Ilizarov bone transfer after removal of the microporous titanium prosthesis. The remaining 17 patients had good postoperative wound healing. At the last follow-up, the 18 patients had a VAS pain score of 2.0(1.0, 4.0) points, significantly lower than the preoperative one [(6.1±2.3) points], and a LEFS score of 54.00(34.50, 69.25) points, significantly higher than the preoperative one [18.50(9.00, 26.50) points] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, according to the Paley grading, the bone union was rated as excellent in 16 patients, as good in 1 patient and as poor in 1 patient. The integration of femoral fractures with 3D printed microporous titanium prostheses was fine. Conclusion:In reconstruction of large segmental bone defects caused by lower extremity osteomyelitis, implantation of a 3D printed microporous titanium (tantalum) prosthesis is feasible and effective, not only reducing pain but also restoring the limb function.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in infants with acute kidney injury (AKI) after liver transplantation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on infants with AKI after liver transplantation in Tianjin First Center Hospital from January 1, 2019 to June 1, 2021. Infants with AKI within 1 year after liver transplantation were divided into CRRT group and non-CRRT group according to whether CRRT was performed. The preoperative and intraoperative condition, the postoperative complications were compared, the risk factors of CRRT for AKI infants, the clinical characteristics of CRRT were analyzed, and the prognosis between CRRT group and non-CRRT group were compared.Results:① A total of 512 cases of pediatric liver transplantation were performed. A total of 189 cases (36.9%) developed AKI within 1 year after surgery, including 18 cases in CRRT group and 171 cases in non-CRRT group. ② There was no significant difference in preoperative conditions between the two groups. The duration of liver transplantation (hours: 8.8±1.5 vs. 7.5±1.3) and intraoperative blood loss [mL: 370 (220-800) vs. 310 (200-400)] in CRRT group were significantly higher than those in non-CRRT group. CRRT group had significantly higher incidence of postoperative complication [unplanned operation: 8 cases (44.4%) vs. 14 cases (8.2%), primary nonfunction: 1 case (5.6%) vs. 0 case (0%), retransplantation: 3 cases (16.7%) vs. 0 case (0%), hepatic artery thrombosis: 3 cases (16.7%) vs. 4 cases (2.3%), intestinal fistula: 2 cases (11.1%) vs. 2 cases (1.2%)] than non-CRRT group (all P < 0.05). ③ The average start time of CRRT was 10 (1-240) days. The per capita frequency of CRRT treatment was 3.3 (1.0-14.0) times. The average duration of each CRRT treatment was 10.1 (6.0-19.3) hours, the average reduction rate of serum creatinine (SCr) was 25.6% (13.5%-45.0%) after CRRT. ④ In CRRT group, 5 patients died, the 1-year and 2-year survival rates were both 72.22%. In non-CRRT group, 6 patients died, the 1-year and 2-year survival rates were 97.1% and 96.5%, respectively. There were significant differences in 1-year and 2-year survival rates between the two groups (both P < 0.01). Conclusions:The incidence of AKI after pediatric liver transplantation was high, and most infants treated with CRRT were associated with serious surgical complications. CRRT was a powerful means to remove inflammatory factors and maintain the stability of circulation and internal environment, which could improve the multi-organ dysfunction effectively.

Objective To explore the relationship between long chain non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, and to provide evidence for perioperative treatment. Methods One hundred and twenty five samples from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated in Tianjin Unite Medicine Center Hospital during June 2008 to June 2014 were collected in this study. The expression of MALAT1 was detected by using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). The relationship between MALAT1 expression level and prognosis of patients with hepatectomy was analyzed. The risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients were determined. Results The expression level of MALAT1 was significantly higher in hepatocellular carcinoma samples (P<0.05). There was no relationship between the expression of MALAT1 with age, hepatitis B history, cirrhosis history, tumor size, tumor number, tumor TNM stage, vascular invasion, pathological differentiation and preoperative alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level (P>0.05). The survival rate was calculated with Kaplan-Meier method. The overall 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates in low level MALAT1 group were 85.9%, 55.2% and 33.8%. The overall 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates in high level MALAT1 group were 66.0%, 34.6%and 3.9%, respectively. There was significant difference in survival rate between the two groups (P<0.01). The multivariate COX regression model analysis showed that the independent risk factors for postoperative survival rate in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma included tumor vascular invasion (RR=3.055, 95%CI:1.986-4.053, P<0.01) and over expression of MALAT1 (RR=2.918, 95%CI:1.736-3.672, P<0.01). Conclusion Long chain non-coding RNA MALAT1 is a novel tumor marker for prognosis of hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, which can be used for preoperative and postoperative evaluation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of cerebral hemorrhage in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage,and to provide a reference for clinical treatment.Methods The clinical data of 118 patients with hyper-tensive cerebral hemorrhage treated in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.The clinical data of patients was col-lected and statistical analysis was carried out,and the risk factors of edema around the hematoma were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.Results Multivariate non conditional logistic regression analysis showed that,the course of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage of edema around the hematoma was the risk factor,the longer the duration,the more risk of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage edema around the hematoma enlargement.There was no significant correlation between sex,age,bleeding site,broken into ventricles and the edema around the hematoma in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Diastolic blood pressure was a risk factor for the edema around the hematoma in hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage,the diastolic blood pressure control was not good,and the swelling of the edema around the hema-toma was increasing.While the systolic blood pressure,pulse pressure difference and hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage hematoma around the hematoma showed no obvious correlation.Use of amlodipine and vascular tension angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor in hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were the protective factors of edema around the hematoma, early application of amlodipine,vascular and nervous angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor to control blood pressure helped to reduce hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage edema around the hematoma volume.Conclusion Amlodipine and vascular tension angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors help to reduce hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage edema around the hematoma volume,while long course,poor control of diastolic blood pressure can promote hypertension cerebral hemorrhage edema around the hematoma volume increase.We should pay attention to the development of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage and the control of diastolic blood pressure,as soon as possible to stabilize the patient's condition and avoid the expansion of the volume of edema around the hematoma.
