Analysis of hidden blood loss after percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture and its influencing factors / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the hidden blood loss and related risk factors of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after percutaneous kyphoplasty.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 153 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures who underwent percutaneous kyphoplasty from March 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, including 55 males and 98 females, aged 68 to 87(78.6±11.4) years old. Erythrocyte specific volume was collected before and after operation to calculate the hidden blood loss. The influence of sex, age, body mass index, bone mineral density, diabetes mellitus and hypertension, operation mode (unilateral or bilateral), operation time, operative segment and number, loss height of vertebral body and recovery height ratio on hidden blood loss was analyzed by multiple linear regression model.@*RESULTS@#Postoperative hidden blood loss was (287.7±68.5) ml. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the history of diabetes mellitus (β=2.405, =0.012), the mode of operation(β=3.042, <0.001), the time of operation (β=2.043, =0.038), the operative segment (β=1.993, =0.043), the number (β=0.374, <0.001), the loss of vertebral height (β=2.785, =0.003) and the recovery ratio(β=7.301, <0.001) were correlated with occult hemorrhage.@*CONCLUSIONS@#There is a certain degree of occult hemorrhage in kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. The risk factors of hidden hemorrhage are diabetes history, operation method, operation time, operative segment and number, loss of vertebral height and recovery ratio.

Clinical applications of sternoclavicular hook plate for the treatment of sternoclavicular joint dislocation / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the clinical therapeutic effects of sternoclavicular hook plate for the treatment of sternoclavicular joint dislocation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From June 2010 to June 2012, 7 patients with sternoclavicular joint dislocation were treated with sternoclavicular hook plate fixation. Among the 7 patients, 5 patients were male and 2 patients were female, and the average age was 42.3 years, ranging from 38 to 54 years. The course of the disease ranged from 1 to 4 weeks. All the patients had trauma history. The clinical manifestations included: obvious swelling and pain of sternoclavicular joint, restricted shoulder joint activity. The sternoclavicular joint dislocation was proved by preoperative X-ray and CT. The postoperative curative effect was evaluated according to Rockwood scoring method.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>According to Rockwood scoring method, the excellent results obtained in 6 cases, good in 1. There were no complications such as internal fixation loosening or broken, second dislocation, pain in the sternoclavicular joint, and deformity. The function of shoulder joint was good, and the limb activity was free and no pain appeared.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The sternoclavicular hook plate for the treatment of sternoclavicular joint dislocation has follow advantages: simple procedure, stable fixation, definite therapeutic effects.</p>

Experimental study on treatment of femoral head necrosis with arterial perfusion of marrow stem cells / 中国中西医结合杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effect of arterial perfusion of marrow multifunctional stem cells (MFSC) in treating femoral head necrosis and its mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The rabbit model of femoral head necrosis was established by large dose of methyl-prednisone through Shwartzman response. Bone marrow was extracted from femoral bone of model rabbit and isolated in vitro for culturing and proliferating MFSC. The experimental rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, treated with normal saline (A), Salvia + urokinase (B), MFSC (C) and MFSC + Salvia + urokinase (D), respectively, they were sacrificed in batches at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment, and changes in various parameters, including molybdenum target roentgenogram, routine pathology with HE staining, tetracycline labeled fluorescent microscopy and ultrastructure alteration by scanning electron microscope (SEM), were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Typical appearance of femoral head necrosis was shown in the successfully modeled rabbits. Two and 4 weeks after treatment by high selective drug via medial and lateral femoral circumflex arterial perfusion, the X-ray examination showed significant improvement of bone density; pathohistologic manifestation showed decrease of empty bone lacuna, increase of osteoblast and new bone formation; tetracycline fluorescent labeled microscopic picture showed bright fluorescent band of increased osteoblasts in necrosis repairing region with widened border; SEM displayed irregularly arranged fibrosis in necrosis region, abundant organelles in osteoblasts with few empty bone lacuna. The above-mentioned improvement was more significant in rabbits treated by MFSC.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>High selective femoral drug arterial perfusion in treating femoral head necrosis could accelerate the process of revascularization and re-ossification in rabbits. As compared with Salvia, MFSC showed quicker and more potent effect.</p>
