ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of atorvastatin combined with alendronate in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with osteoporosis (OP) on bone metabolism, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) , interleukin 6 (IL-6) , and 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25- (OH) D] level.Methods:A total of 152 patients with T2DM and OP who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital from Jul. 2017 to Jul. 2020 were selected. According to the different treatment methods, they were divided into control group (73 cases with alendronate treatment) and study group (79 cases receiving atova Statins combined with alendronate sodium treatment) . The two groups were compared in terms of bone metabolism indexes, bone mineral density, changes in serum TNF-α, IL-6, 25- (OH) D levels, and adverse reactions before and after treatment.Results:After treatment, osteocalcin (BGP) , bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) , lumbar spine L1-4 bone mineral density, femoral neck bone mineral density, and 25- (OH) D of the two groups increased ( P< 0.001) , and the study group was significantly higher than the control group (BGP: 7.68±0.89 vs 6.88±0.93; BAP: 18.62±3.97 vs 16.82±3.24; lumbar spine L1-4: 0.95±0.08 vs 0.92±0.05; femoral neck: 0.79±0.07 vs 0.75±0.06; 25- (OH) D: 31.35±10.1 vs 26.54±7.14; all P<0.05) . After treatment, the serum type I collagen C-terminal peptide (s-CTX) , human tartrate acid phosphatase (TRAP-5b) , TNF-α, IL-6 were decreased for both groups ( P<0.001) , and they were significantly lower in the study group than those in the control group (s-CTX:0.37±0.12 vs 0.55±0.12; TRAP-5b: 2.43±0.66 vs 2.99±0.75; TNF-α: 9.93±1.91 vs 11.77±2.69; IL-6: 10.65±1.26 vs 12.91±1.21; all P<0.001) . The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (16.46% vs 39.73%, P=0.001) . Conclusion:Atorvastatin combined with alendronate in the treatment of T2DM patients with OP can effectively increase 25- (OH) D levels, reduce inflammation, and promote bone metabolism and bone density.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the factors related to contralateral hip fracture in the elderly patients with hip fracture by meta analysis.Methods Pubmed,Cochrane,CBMdisc,CNKI Chinese Journal Full Text Database and Wan Fang Database were searched for publications at home and abroad from January 2005 to April 2018 on factors related to contralateral hip fracture after hip fractures in the elderly.The publication quality was strictly evaluated before the data were extracted concerning gender and age(＞ 65years) of the patients,concomitant osteoporosis (Singh sign ≥ 4),primary fracture type,concomitant Parkinson disease,concomitant stroke,concomitant senile dementia,concomitant cataract,concomitant rheumatoid arthritis,concomitant diabetes,type of internal fixation for primary fracture and therapeutic compliance.Revman5.0 was used to perform the statistical analysis and the OR value and 95％ CI were calculated fore each index.Results A total of 17 studies were included involving 1,504 patients with contralateral hip fracture among 13,717 elderly patients with hip fracture.The factors related to the refracture of the contralateral hip were the age of the patients (OR ＝-3.55,95％ CI:-5.60 ～-1.50,P ＜ 0.001),osteoporosis (OR=2.38,95％CI:1.36～4.17,P=0.002),Parkinson disease (OR=4.54,95％CI:2.74～7.53,P ＜0.001),stroke (OR=0.33,95％ C I:0.18～0.59,P ＜ 0.001),senile dementia (OR=0.43,95％CI:0.29～0.62,P ＜0.001),cataract (OR=0.37,95％CI:0.22～0.63,P ＜0.001),rheumatoid arthritis (OR =0.32,95％ CI:0.21 ～ 0.50,P ＜ 0.001),diabetes (OR =0.65,95％ CI:0.47～0.91,P=0.01),type of internal fixation for primary fracture (OR=0.51,95％ CI:0.30 ～ 0.85,P =0.01),and therapeutic compliance (OR =0.36,95％ CI:0.21 ～ 0.64,P ＜ 0.001).However,the refracture of the contralateral hip was not related to gender (OR =1.07,95％ CI:0.45 ～2.56,P=0.88),smoking (OR=0.86,95％CI:0.40～1.86,P=0.70),fracture type (OR=0.97,95％ CI:0.60～1.57,P=0.90),or hypertension (OR=0.70,95％ C I:0.41～1.21,P=0.20).Conclusions In elderly patients with hip fracture,the risks for contralateral hip fracture may be advanced age,concomitant osteoporosis,Parkinson disease,stroke,senile dementia,cataract,rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes,type of internal fixation for primary fracture,and poor therapeutic compliance.However,no sufficient evidence has suggested that gender,smoking,type of hip fracture or concomitant hypertension might be associated with the contralateral hip fracture.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the clinical effect of combined anterior and posterior approach revision on complex acetabular fractures.@*Methods@#A retrospective case series study was performed on the clinical data of 21 patients with complex acetabular fractures who underwent failed surgery through single approach from June 2012 to June 2017. There were 16 males and five females, averagely aged 34.6 years (range, 24-45 years). According to Letournel-Judet classification, there were seven patients with transverse+ posterior wall fracture, five patients with anterior column+ posterior semi-transverse fracture, four patients with double column fracture and five patients with "T" fracture. The first operation was performed by ilioinguinal approach in nine patients and by Kocher-Langebeck (K-L) approach in 12 patients. Revision surgery was performed using a combined anterior and posterior approach. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded, and the fracture healing was observed. The quality of fracture reduction was assessed according to Matta reduction criteria, and hip function by the modified D Aubigne and Postel score. The complications during and after operation were recorded. Heterotopic ossification was evaluated according to Brooker's criteria.@*Results@#The patients were followed up for 12 to 36 months, with an average of 27 months. The operation time ranged from 180 to 360 minutes, with an average of 270 minutes. Intraoperative bleeding was 1 000-3 800 ml, with an average of 2 000 ml. Fractures were healed, with the healing time ranging from 3.5 to 7 months, with an average of 5 months. According to Matta reduction criteria, there were eight patients with anatomical reduction, 12 with satisfactory reduction and one with unsatisfactory reduction. The improved D Aubigne and Postal score was (11.1±1.9)points preoperatively and (15.6±1.7)points six months after operation (P<0.05), the outcome of hip function was excellent in three patients, good in 14, fair in three, and poor in one, with the excellent and good rate of 81%. There were three patients with transient injury of sciatic nerve, one patient with traumatic arthritis and one with heterotopic ossification of Brooker II. No femoral head necrosis or deep venous thrombosis in the lower extremities was found.@*Conclusion@#For complex acetabular fractures, combined anterior and posterior approach revision can promote fracture reduction, fracture healing, and functional recovery, with low incidence of complications.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the procedures and effects of surgical treatment for double disruption of the superior shoulder suspensory complex (SSSC).Methods Twenty-nine cases of double disruption of SSSC treated from January 2007 to October 2011 were enrolled in the study.There were 19 males and 10 females,at a mean age of 36 years (range,25-49 years).Injury causes included traffic injury in 25 cases and fall from height in 4.An open reduction and internal fixation was performed in 18 cases of scapular neck fracture combined with clavicular fracture,2 cases of scapular neck fracture combined with acromion fracture,2 cases of distal clavicular fracture combined with acromion and glenoid cavity fracture; hook plate fixation and ligament repair were performed in 3 cases of complete dislocation of acromioclavicular joint combined with complete disruption of coracoclavicular ligament ; open reduction and internal fixation and ligament repair were performed in 3 cases of scapular neck fracture combined with acromioclavicular joint dislocation and 1 case of clavicular fracture combined with coracoclavicular ligament disruption.Results All cases were followed up for a mean period of 11.5 months (range,6-30 months).Anatomic reduction of fractures was achieved for all cases and mean healing time was 8.4 weeks (range,7-12 weeks).Mean Constant-Murley score was 91 points (range,72-100 points),which indicated excellent results in 13 cases,good in 11,fair in 5,with excellence rate of 83％.ConclusionBased on the complex anatomic structure of the double disruption of SSSC,surgical management should focus mainly on respective fixation of the double injuries,which leads to good stability and therapeutic outcome.
