A comparative study of short-term effectiveness of "SkyWalker" robot-assisted versus traditional total knee arthroplasty / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the short-term effectiveness of "SkyWalker" robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and traditional TKA.@*METHODS@#A clinical data of 54 patients (54 knees) with TKA who met the selection criteria between January 2022 and March 2022 was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 27 cases underwent traditional TKA (traditional operation group) and 27 cases underwent "SkyWalker" robot-assisted TKA (robot-assisted operation group). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in terms of gender, age, body mass index, osteoarthritis side, disease duration, and preoperative Knee Society Score (KSS), Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), visual analogue scale (VAS) score, hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), and posterior proximal tibial angle (PPTA). The operative time, intraoperative bleeding volume, surgery-related complications, the KSS, WOMAC, and VAS scores before operation and at 6 months after operation, and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) at 6 months after operation were recorded. X-ray films were taken to review the prosthesis position and measure HKA, LDFA, MPTA, and PPTA. The differences of the clinical and imaging indicators between before and after operation were calculated and statistically analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The operations were completed successfully in both groups. There was no significant difference in the operative time and intraoperative bleeding volume between the two groups ( P>0.05). After operation, 1 case of incision nonunion and 1 case of heart failure occurred in the traditional operation group, while no surgery-related complications occurred in the robotic-assisted operation group. The incidences of surgical complications were 7.4% (2/27) in the traditional operation group and 0 (0/27) in the robotic-assisted operation group, with no significant difference ( P=0.491). Patients in both groups were followed up 6 months. KSS score, WOMAC score, VAS score, and ROM significantly improved in both groups at 6 months after operation when compared with preoperative ones ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in the differences between the pre- and post-operative values of the clinical indicators and FJS scores at 6 months after operation. X-ray films showed that the lower extremity force lines of the patients improved and the knee prostheses were in good position. Except for LDFA in the robot-assisted operation group, HKA, LDFA, MPTA, and PPTA significantly improved in both groups at 6 months after operation when compared with the preoperative ones ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the differences between the pre- and post-operative values of the radiological indicators ( P>0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The "SkyWalker" robot-assisted TKA is one of the effective methods for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and had good short-term effectiveness. But the long-term effectiveness needs to be further studied.

The development and primary application of a deep learning convolutional neural network in the field of revision total hip arthroplasty CT segmentation / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To develop a preoperative CT image segmentation algorithm based on artificial intelligence deep learning technology for total hip arthroplasty (THA) revision surgery, and to verify and preliminarily apply it.Methods:A total of 706 revision cases with clear CT data from April 2019 to October 2022 in Chinese PLA General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 520 males, aged 58.45±18.13 years, and 186 females, aged 52.23±16.23 years. All of them were unilateral, and there were 402 hips on the left and 304 hips on the right. The transformer_unet convolutional neural network was constructed and trained using Tensorflow 1.15 to achieve intelligent segmentation of the revision THA CT images. Based on the developed three-dimensional planning system of total hip arthroplasty, an intelligent planning system for revision hip arthroplasty was preliminarily constructed. Dice overlap coefficient (DOC), average surface distance (ASD) and Hausdorff distance (HD) parameters were used to evaluate the segmentation accuracy of transformer_unet, full convolution network (FCN), 2D U-shaped Net and Deeplab v3 +, and segmentation time was used to evaluate the segmentation efficiency of these networks.Results:Compared with the FCN, 2D U-Net, and Deeplab v3+ learning curves, the transformer_unet network could achieve better training effect with less training amount.The DOC of transformer_unet was 95%±4%, the HD was 3.35±1.03 mm, and the ASD was 1.38±0.02 mm; FCN was 94%±4%, 4.83±1.90 mm, 1.42±0.03 mm; 2D U-Net was 93%±5%, 5.27±2.20 mm, and 1.46±0.02 mm, respectively. Deeplab v3+ was 92%±4%, 6.12±1.84 mm, 1.52±0.03 mm, respectively. The transformer_unet coefficients were better than those of the other three convolutional neural networks, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The segmentation time of transformer_unet was 0.031±0.001 s, FCN was 0.038±0.002 s, 2D U-Net was 0.042±0.001 s, Deeplab v3+ was 0.048±0.002 s. The segmentation time of transformer_unet was less than that of the other three convolutional neural networks, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Based on the results of previous studies, an artificial intelligence assisted preoperative planning system for THA revision surgery was initially constructed. Conclusion:Compared with FCN, 2D U-Net and Deeplab v3+, the transformer_unet convolutional neural network can complete the segmentation of the revision THA CT image more accurately and efficiently, which is expected to provide technical support for preoperative planning and surgical robots.

The learning curve of MAKO-assisted total knee arthroplasty / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To explore the learning curve of MAKO-assisted total knee arthroplasty.Methods:From May 2021 to September 2022, 136 patients were conducted MAKO-assisted total knee arthroplasty in the PLA General Hospital, including 37 males and 99 females, 65.53±7.01 years old (range 54-80 years). All cases were patients with unilateral knee osteoarthritis. The operations were performed by three surgeons, respectively. Sixty-one cases were performed by surgeon 1, 47 cases were performed by surgeon 2, and 28 cases were performed by surgeon 3. Record the time of each step during the operation, and measure the limb alignment in X-ray. The statistical difference between the two groups was compared by t test by SPSS. The cumulative sum control chart (CUSUM) learning curve was modeled by curve fitting and R2 was used to testify the goodness. Results:The total operation time of the three surgeons was 114.3±25.1 min, 109.8±10.9 min, and 118.6±15.1 min, respectively. The time of each step in the first 10 cases and the last 10 cases of operator 1-3 was counted. The osteotomy time of surgeons 1, 2 and 3 in the final 10 cases was less than that in the initial 10 cases (surgeon 1: 13.5 ± 3.41 min vs. 8.0±1.58 min, t=4.30, P=0.001; surgeon 2: 13.7±3.02 min vs. 8.0± 2.58 min, t=4.77, P=0.001; surgeon 3: 15.3±3.97 min vs. 11.0±2.38 min, t=2.87, P=0.010), and the difference was statistically significant. The CUSUM of osteotomy was calculated and the curve was fitted. The highest point of the curve of the three surgeons was in the 16th, 18th and 12th patients, respectively, and the time of osteotomy continued to decline after passing the peak. No statistical differences were found in surgery time for the remaining steps. Comparing the lower alignment angles of intraoperative planning and postoperative X-ray films, the overall difference was greater than 1 degree. The difference was 1.41°±1.32° for operator 1, 1.34°±1.22° for operator 2, and 1.04°±0.88° for operator 3. The percentages of fully accurate implant size planning were 85.2%(52/61), 76.7%(36/47), and 85.7%(24/28), respectively. Conclusion:For MAKO-assisted total knee arthroplasty, the operator can decrease the operation time by practice, which is mainly reflected in the shortening of the osteotomy time. The learning curve threshold is around in the 15th case. The increase in the number of surgeries did not bring about changes in the accuracy of lower extremity alignment.

Immunogenicity and influencing factors of hepatitis B vaccination based on different vaccination schedules among chronic kidney disease patients / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective: To explore the immunogenicity and influencing factors of hepatitis B vaccination based on different vaccination schedules among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Methods: CKD patients who participated in randomized controlled trials in four hospitals in Shanxi province and completed three doses of 20 µg vaccination (at months 0, 1 and 6) and four doses of 20 µg or 60 µg vaccination (at months 0, 1, 2, and 6) were surveyed from May 2019 to July 2020.According to the ratio of 1∶1∶1, 273 CKD patients were divided into 3 groups randomly. Quantification of the anti-hepatitis B surface antigen-antibody (anti-HBs) in serum samples was performed using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay at months 1 and 6 after the entire course of the vaccinations. The positive rate, high-level positive rate, geometric mean concentration (GMC) of anti-HBs, and the influencing factors were analyzed by χ2 tests, analysis of variance, unconditional logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 273 CKD patitents were participants.The positive rates in the CKD patients with four doses of 20 µg vaccination (92.96%,66/71) or 60 µg vaccination (93.15%, 68/73) were higher than that in the CKD patients with three doses of 20 µg vaccination (81.69%, 58/71) at month one after the full course of the vaccinations (P<0.05). The GMCs of anti-HBs showed similar results (2 091.11 mIU/ml and 2 441.50 mIU/ml vs. 1 675.21 mIU/ml) (P<0.05). The positive rate was higher in the CKD patients with four doses of 60 µg vaccination (94.83%,55/58) than in those with three doses of 20 µg vaccination (78.79%,52/66) (P<0.05) at month six after the full course of the vaccinations. And the GMC of anti-HBs in the patients with four doses of 60 µg vaccination (824.28 mIU/ml) was significantly higher than those in the patients with 3 or 4 doses of 20 µg vaccination (639.74 mIU/ml and 755.53 mIU/ml) (P<0.05). After controlling the confounding factors, the positive rate in the CKD patients with four doses of 60 µg vaccination were 3.19 (95%CI: 1.02-9.96) and 5.32 (95%CI: 1.27-22.19) times higher than those in the patients with three doses of 20 µg vaccination at months 1 and 6 after the full course of the vaccinations, respectively. The positive rate in CKD patients without immune suppression or hormone therapy was 3.33 (95%CI: 1.26-8.80) and 4.78 (95%CI: 1.47-15.57) times higher than those in the patients with such therapy, respectively. Conclusions: Four doses of 20 µg or 60 µg hepatitis B vaccination could improve the immunogenicity in patients with CKD. And four doses of 60 µg vaccination might play a positive role in maintaining anti-HBs in this population. The immunogenicity in the CKD patients with immune suppression or hormone therapy was poor.

Emerging targets and drugs of inflammatory bowel disease / 药学学报

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, repeated intestinal inflammatory disease. Clinically commonly used therapeutic drugs have some disadvantages, such as poor efficacy and many adverse reactions after long-term application. Although new biological therapies such as anti-tumor necrosis factor agents, overcome common adverse reactions, also have problems such as high price, difficult storage, drug resistance and recurrence after application. In recent years, many new therapeutic methods for inflammatory bowel disease have emerged, for example, modulators that inhibit lymphocyte migration (integrin inhibitors and sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor agonists) have been introduced into the clinical treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, inflammatory cytokine inhibitors (interleukin-23 inhibitors, Janus kinase inhibitors, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, etc.) and inhibitors targeting fibrosis and intestinal tissue degradation and remodeling (matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors) are also being evaluated in clinical trials of IBD. Based on the mechanisms of action, this paper intends to outline the current mainstream IBD therapies and some emerging drugs, and briefly introduce their targets to provide reference for IBD drug design and development.

Study on artificial intelligence-based algorithm for acetabular cup in total hip arthroplasty / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To develop a set of algorithms that could predict the precise size of acetabular cup preoperatively by the deep learning neural network technology.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 30 patients with femoral head necrosis from April 2019 to April 2020, including 15 males and 15 females. At the age of (54.8±10.5) years (range 33-72 years). Thirteen hips on the left and seventeen hips on the right, who underwent primary unilateral THA. Based on the manually segmented hip joint CT database, a deep learning convolutional neural network was trained to realize automatic segmentation. A customized algorithm was created to fit the surface of the acetabulum. By the application of another deep learning convolutional neural network, the identification of anatomical points of the pelvis and correction of the pelvic position were realized. So that the placement of the acetabulum cup could be done. DOC (dice overlap coefficients) as well as the average error parameter were adopted to evaluate the accuracy of the above steps. The novel algorithm and Orthoview software were retrospectively used to template the acetabular cup separately. The results of both groups were compared with the actual size and the coincidence rate was calculated to evaluate the accuracy of the novel algorithm. To verify this algorithm, the conformance rate was calculated respectively.Results:Compared with other classical segmentation networks, the G-NET network can segment the pelvic with femoral head necrosis more accurately (DOC 92.51%± 6.70%). It also has better robustness. The average error of the point recognition network is 0.87 pixels. Among the 30 patients, the AI-based algorithm group had a complete coincidence rate of 96.7% and the Orthoview group had a complete coincidence rate of 73.3%. The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.405, P=0.011). Conclusion:The artificial intelligence-based algorithm can segment the CT image series and identify the feature points of the patient's hip accurately. Compared with the conventional 2D preoperative planning method, the AI-based algorithm is relatively more accurate. This artificial intelligence-based 3D preoperative software has promising prospect to makeaccurate surgical plan efficiently.

Short-term clinical outcomes of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty in osteonecrosis of the femoral head patients / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To explore the radiology and short-term clinical outcomes of MAKO robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods:The present study retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 23 patients (32 hips) who diagnosed as osteonecrosis of the femoral head and underwent MAKO THA from August 1st to December 31st, 2018 as MAKO THA group. A total of 23 patients (32 hips) with the same diagnosis underwent manual THA at the same time as conventional THA group. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of gender, affected side, age, height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), stage of the Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO), preoperative Harris hip score, WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index and limb length discrepancy. The patients in both groups were operated by the same doctors. The MAKO THA group underwent the acetabular preparation and the acetabular shell impaction with the assistance of the robotic arm. The leg length and offset were adjusted under the feedback of the MAKO system. Other intraoperative procedures and postoperative interventions of MAKO THA group were similar as conventional THA group. The operation duration, incidence of complications, the radiograph parameters (version, leg length discrepancy and offset), consistency of acetabular prosthesis position in MAKO operation plan, position in postoperative X-ray, the consistency of acetabular prosthesis inclination, version in MAKO operation plan, angles in postoperative CT and functional scores (Harris hip score, WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index and forgotten joint score) at 6 months and 12 months after operation were compared between the two groups.Results:The operation duration of the MAKO THA group was longer than that of the conventional THA group (101.2±19.9 min, 65.5±5.6 min, t=7.659, P<0.001). In terms of radiograph parameters, the different of version (22.63°±5.58°, 15.98°±7.13°, t=4.156, P<0.001) and limb length discrepancy (0.35±0.30 cm, 0.87±0.43 cm, t=4.775, P<0.001) and offset (0.27±0.19 cm, 0.49±0.16 cm, t=4.155, P<0.001) between the two groups were statistically significant. The MAKO operative plan and postoperative radiographs were measured. The difference of inclination/version were 1.18°±2.52°/2.06°±2.79° ( r=0.846, P<0.001; r=0.810, P<0.001), respectively. The horizontal/vertical directions of the joint rotation center were 2.25±1.08 mm and 2.20±1.28 mm ( r=0.975, P<0.001; r=0.974, P<0.001), respectively. In terms of functional results at 6 months and 12 months after operation, Harris hip score in MAKO THA group and in conventional THA group was 90.2±5.40/89.9±5.23 ( t=0.188, P=0.851) and 93.9±2.31/94.0±2.61 ( t=0.254, P=0.801), respectively. The WOMAC index was 27.3±10.36/29.1±12.03 ( t=0.623, P=0.535) and 16.4±8.39/15.2±8.35 ( t=0.597, P=0.552). The forgotten joint score was 76.3±6.11/73.7±6.84 ( t=1.560, P=0.124) and 81.7±4.52/80.7±5.11 ( t=0.816, P=0.418), respectively. Transient bleeding in the anterior superior iliac spine pin holes were reported in 4 hips after discharge in MAKO THA group, which were healed after dressing change. No other intraoperative or postoperative complication was reported. Conclusion:Robotic-assisted THA were more accurate and stable than conventional THA. The version of robot-assisted THA was closer to the target of 20° with similar discrepancy in leg length and hip offset. The short-term functional outcomes were similar in the two groups. However, the operation duration of robot-assisted THA was prolonged.

An animal experimental study on domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty / 中国修复重建外科杂志

Objective: To evaluate the performance, safety, and precision of the Yuanhua robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty system (YUANHUA-TKA) through animal experiments, which will provide reference data for human clinical trials. Methods: Six 18-month-old goats, weighing 30-35 kg, were used in this study. The experimental study was divided into two parts: the preoperative planning and intraoperative bone resection. CT scans of the goats' lower extremities were firstly performed before the experiments. Then the CT scans were segmented to generate the femoral and tibial three-dimensional (3D) models in the YUANHUA-TKA system. The volumes and angles of each resection plane on the femur and tibia were planned. The bone resection was finally implemented under the assistance of the YUANHUA-TKA system. After completing all bone resections, the lower extremities of each goat were taken to have CT scans. By comparing the femoral and tibial 3D models before and after the experiments, the actual bone resection volumes and angles were calculated and compared with the preoperative values. Results: During the experiments, no abnormal bleeding was found; the YUANHUA-TKA system ran smoothly and stably and was able to stop moving and keep the osteotomy in the safe zone all the time. After the experiment, the resection planes were observed immediately and found to be quite flat. There was no significant difference between the planned and actual osteotomy thickness and osteotomy angle ( P>0.05); the error of the osteotomy thickness was less than 1 mm, and the error of the osteotomy angle was less than 2°. Conclusion: The YUANHUA-TKA system can assist the surgeons to perform osteotomy following the planned thickness and angle values. It is expected to assist surgeons to implement more accurate and efficient osteotomy in the future clinical applications.

Effects of Femoral Offset on Musculoskeletal Multi-Body Dynamics and Contact Mechanics of Artificial Hip Joint for DDH Patients / 医用生物力学

Objective To investigate the biomechanical effects of femoral offset (FO) on total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Methods Based on the musculoskeletal dynamic software AnyBody and the related data from a female patient with Crowe Ⅳ DDH, the corresponding patient-specific lower extremity musculoskeletal multi-body dynamic model was constructed to analyze both hip joint forces and abductor forces within ±20 mm variation of FOs. The dynamic finite element (FE) model of S-ROM stem with varying offsets was also established. The dynamic load during a whole walking gait cycle calculated by the multi-body musculoskeletal model was applied to this FE models, and the Von Mises stress, contact stress, and stem-sleeve micromotion were then analyzed. Results A variation of ±20 mm offset had small influences on peak forces of hip joints. However, the decrease in FO could lead to an obvious increase in peak abductor force, while the increase in FO could lead to an obvious increase in the maximum Von Mises stress, contact stress, and micromotion of S-ROM prosthesis stem. Conclusions The change in FO had an obvious influence on the abductor forces, the maximum Von Mises stress, the contact pressure and the consequent fretting wear of THA patients with DDH, which should be carefully considered by surgeons.

The treatment effect was evaluated by Capanna standard.@*RESULTS@#All the patients were followed up, including 17 to 35(25.6±4.2) months in the elastic intramedullary needle group and 19 to 35(27.4±4.8) months in the autogenous marrow blood injection group. According to Capanna's evaluation standard of bone cyst, 27 patients in the elastic intramedullary needle group were treated effectively(25 patients cured, 2 patients healed but some remained lesions), 1 patients recurred, 0 patient had no response to treatment; 18 patients in the autogenous bone marrow blood injection group were treated effectively(13 patients cured, 5 patients healed but some remained lesions), 8 patients of cyst recurred, 2 patients had no response to treatment; the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(<0.01). The overall cure time was calculated by the follow-up of 25 cases in the elastic intramedullary injection group and 13 cases in the autogenous marrow blood injection group. The cure time was(20.2±3.5) months in the elastic intramedullary injection group and(27.7±4.9) months in the autogenous marrow blood injection group. The difference was statistically significant(<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#For the treatment of bone cyst in children, the therapeutic effect of elastic intramedullary needle is better than that of autogenous bone marrow blood injection, and the cure time is shorter.

Choice of surgical methods and short-term therapeutic efficacy analysis of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy / 中华胰腺病杂志

Objective To investigate the choice of surgical methods and short-term therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 188 cases who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) from December 2015 to December 2017 in Cangzhou Central Hospital.Total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (TLPD) was performed in 102 patients whose diameter of pancreatic duct was greater than or equal to 3 mm,and end-to-side anastomosis of pancreatic duct and jejunum was used to reconstruct the digestive tract (TLPD group).Laparoscopic assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (LAPD) was performed in 86 patients with pancreatic duct diameter less than 3 mm,and the digestive tract was reconstructed by end-to-side pancreaticoduodenectomy with pocket-insertion (LAPD group).The clinical data of the two groups were analyzed and compared.Results There were no significant differences on sex,age,ASA grade,preoperative total bilirubin,alanine aminotransferase and serum albumin levels between the two groups(P ＞0.05),which was comparable.The total incision length and hospitalization time in TLPD group were significantly shorter than those in LAPD group [(8.2± 1.4)cm vs (12.9±2.6) cm];[(10.9±5.9)d vs (14.3±6.5) d],while the time of pancreaticojejunostomy was significantly longer than that in LAPD group [(36.1 ± 14.7) min vs (14.0 ± 4.2) min].The incidence of pancreatic fistula after operation was significantly higher than that in LAPD group (30.4％ vs 10.5％).The difference was statistically significant (all P＜0.05).There were no significant differences on mean operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume,number of lymph node dissection,R0 resection rate,ICU admission time,eating time,total complication rate and 6-month disease-free survival rate between the two groups.Conclusions TLPD has the advantages of less trauma and quicker recovery.But for pancreatic duct diameter less than 3 mm,the choice of LAPD can increase the safety of operation and reduce the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Objective To compare the short-term efficacy of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) with open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD).Methods The clinical data of 122 LPD patients and 167 OPD patients at our department from 2015 to 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.Results There was no significant difference in demographic,ASA classification,preoperative liver function between the two groups (P ＞0.05).The operative time was (405 ± 109) min vs.(312 ±57) min,liquid diet intake time postoperatively was (5.4 ± 2.6) d vs.(7.9 ± 3.3) d,postoperative hospital stay was (10.4 ± 6.1) d vs.(14.5 ± 8.6) d,with all the difference statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Intraoperative blood loss was (290 ± 102) ml vs.(322 ± 75) ml,the number of lymph node dissection in malignant tumor cases was (14.7 ± 5.6) vs.(13.9 ± 7.3),R0 resection rate in malignant tumor cases was 97.9％ (96/98)vs.96.6％ (143/148),the incidence of postoperative complications was 39.3％ (48/122) vs.35.3％(59/167) (all P ＞0.05).All patients were followed up with a median time m group LPD and group OPD was 9 months and 11 months respectively,and the tumor free survival rate was 93.4％ (114/122) and 90.4％ (151/167) at 6 months (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion LPD has the same safety and radical effect as the traditional OPD surgery,while of less trauma and quicker postoperative recovery.

Clinical application of augmented antibiotic-loaded cement spacer in two-stage infected total hip arthroplasty with acetabular bone defect / 中华骨科杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes and complications of augmented antibiotic-loaded cement spacer in two-stage infected total hip arthroplasty with acetabular bone defect.Methods The periprosthetic infection (PJI) patients with acetabular bone defect were retrospectively reviewed from January 2007 to June 2016 in our hospital.A total of 26 patients (11 males and 15 females) were eligibly included in the present study.The mean age was 46.7 years old.The two-stage revision arthroplasty included implants removel,meticulous debridement,implantation of antibiotic-loaded cement spacer in firststage.After systemic therapy of antibiotics,the prosthesis was implanted in the second-stage.The supra-acetabular antibiotic cement shelf with screws was used to improve hip stability with acetabular wall defect.The handmade acetabular spacer was able to prevent femoral spacer ifto pelvis in patients with acetabular internal wall defect.The clinical outcomes and complications (spacer dislocation,spacer fracture and acetabular wear) were measured.Results The positive rate of bacteria culture was 80.8％ (21/26)and 57.7％ (15/26) patients were cultured with staphylococcus.The others were 2 fungus,2 Gram-positive rod,1 brucella,1 pseudomonas aeruginosa,1 escherichia coli,1 enterococcus faecalis,1 defective probiotics,1 serratiamarcescens and 1 Kocuriaroseus.Moreover,19.2％ (5/26) patients were mixed infection.There was one patient with spacer dislocation and two with spacer fracture.No patients were recurrent infection.Infection was controlled,and two-stage revision was successfully performed in 24 patients.Twenty-two patients were followed averaging 4.1 years (1-8) and the Harris Hip Score was significantly improved from 40.9± 14.0to 81.2± 11.2 at the final follow-up (P＜0.05).Conclusion The application of augmented antibiotic-loaded cement spacer has satisfactory clinical outcomes in PJI patients with acetabular bone defect.It can provide joint mobility and increase additional joint stability with decreased iatrogenic bone defect caused by acetabular wear.

Effect of hydrogen sulfide on myocardial exogenous apoptotic pathway in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To evaluate the effect of hydrogen sulfide on myocardial exogenous apoptotic pathway in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation.Methods Sixty clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 250-300 g,were divided into 4 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table method:sham operation group (group S),sham operation plus sodium sulphid (NaHS) group (group S+NaHS),hemorrhagic shock group (HS group),and hemorrhagic shock plus sodium sulphid group (group HS+NaHS).Rats only underwent arterial and intravenous puncture in group S.Hemorrhagic shock was induced by withdrawing blood from the femoral artery until mean arterial pressure (MAP) was reduced to 35-40 mmHg within 10 min and maintained for 1.5 h.NaHS 28 μmol/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 10 min before resuscitation in group HS+NaHS.The equal volume of NaHS was administered at the same time in group S+NaHS.Immediately before blood letting and at 0,1.5,2,3,4 and 6 h after blood letting (T1-5),MAP was recorded and blood samples were collected from the femoral vein for determination of serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations by chemical colorimetry.Rats were then sacrificed and hearts were removed for examination of the pathological changes of myocardial tissues (with a light microscope) and for determination of cell apoptosis (by TUNEL),expression of caspase-3 and caspase-8 (by Western blot) and expression of Fas and FasL (by immunohistochemistry).Apoptosis index was calculated.Results Compared with group S,MAP was significantly decreased at T1-5,the serum CK and LDH concentrations at T1-5 and apoptosis index at T5 were increased,and the expression of Fas,FasL,caspase-3 and caspase-8 was up-regulated in group HS (P＜ 0.05).Compared with group HS,MAP was significantly increased at T1-3,the serum CK and LDH concentrations at T3-5 and apoptosis index at T5 were decreased,and the expression of Fas,FasL,caspase-3 and caspase-8 was down-regulated in group HS+NaHS (P＜0.05).The pathological changes of myocardial tissues were significantly attenuated in group HS+NaHS when compared with group HS.Concclusion The mechanism by which hydrogen sulfide attenuates myocardial injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation is associated with inhibiting the exogenous apoptotic pathway in rats.
