RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes in the treatment of complex acetabular fractures through a single supra-ilioinguinal approach after the application of preoperative 3D printing and rapid prototyping simulating the operative procedure.Methods From January 2013 to January 2016,24 cases of complex pelvic and acetabular fractures in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Among them 18 cases were male and 6 were female.The average age was 39.2+±13.8 years (range,24-68 years).According to Letoumel-Judet's classification,there were 6 cases of transverse,4 cases of T shaped,4 cases of combined anterior column and posterior hemi-transverse (ACPHT) and 10 cases of 2-column fractures.The time from injured to operation averaged 9 days (range,4-18 days).Before operation,pelvic AP view,three-dimensional CT as well as CTA of iliac blood vessels was taken routinely in all cases.The CT and CTA scan data were then imported into Mimics software for 3D reconstruction.Surgical simulation and optimal placement of internal fixations were performed on computer.After that,the individual simulated model of the pelvis was printed by the use of 3D printing and rapid prototyping technique.The order of reduction,selection and optimal position of the implants were determined.The plates were bent before operation and the length and direction of the screws were recorded.A uniform supra-ilioinguinal approach was used in all cases.Results The length of incision averaged 9 cm (range,8-13 cm).The operative time average 130 min (range,90-220 min).The blood loss averaged 600 ml (range,300-1 500 ml).Once a satisfactory reduction was obtained,single placement of the plates was achieved.In accordance with the preoperative plan,the plates were perfectly fitted to the bone surface.The 24 patients were followed for an average time of 18.3 months (range,15-30 months).The fractures healed in all cases.The average healing time was 4.2 months (range,3-6 months).According to Matta criteria,there were 16 cases of excellent,6 cases of good,2 cases of poor and the excellent rate was 91.7％ (22/24).The average modified Merle d'Aubigne score was 16.5 (range,13-18).The functional outcome was excellent in 13 cases,good in 6 cases and poor in 5 cases.The excellent rate of hip functions was 79.2％ (19/24).There were 2 cases of femoral lateral cutaneous nerve injury (recovered one month later) and another 1 case of fat liquefaction of the incision happened three days postoperatively (the wound healed completely after several dressing changes).No inguinal hernia or abdominal wall hemias was found.No other postoperative complications was found.Conclusion The application of 3D printing and rapid prototyping technique allows preoperatively simulating reduction in vitro,determining the optimal position of the implants,bending the plates and measuring the length of the screws in advance,which could largely reduce the operative time,intraoperative blood loss and occurrence of postoperative complications.Adopting supra-ilioinguinal approach for the treatment of complex acetabular fractures with a small incision and less trauma,a full exposure could be obtained,so the reduction and fixation of the anterior,posterior and middle column (also named pubo-ischiatic column) could be completed in a direct visualization,resulting in a satisfactory clinical outcomes.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: At present, there are investigations on the expression of cytokines and adhesion molecular in ischemia-reperfusion injury at abroad,but they do not involve in the relative studies on endogenous cytokines and adhesion molecular on microvascular endothelial surface following injury.The expression of endogenous interleukin-1(IL-1) is limited only at mRNA level.OBJECTIVE: To prove into the mechanism of the expression of intercellular adhesion molecular 1 and its regulation factor IL-1 in spinal ischemia-reperfusion injury.DESIGN: A randomized grouping design, animal experiment.SETTING: Department of Sports Medicine, College of Physical Education Affiliated to Jilin UniversityMATERIALS: This experiment was carried out at the Central Laboratory,China-Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University between March 2003 and January 2004. Totally 77 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n=7), simple ischemia group (n=14) and ischemia-reperfusion group (n=56). Among the rats in the simple-ischemia group, 7 rats suffered from blood flow block for 30 minutes and 7 rats for 60 minutes; Rats in the ischemia-reperfusion group were assigned into 8 subgroups according to 8 time phases, respectively at reperfusion for 30,60 minutes, 2, 4, 6,9, 12 and 24 hours following spinal ischemia, with 7 rats at each time phase.METHODS: Spinal ischemia-reperfusion injury animal models were created with Zivin method. The expressions of vascular endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) mRNA and IL-1β mRNA following spinal ischemia-reperfusion injury were detected with reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescent confocal laser scanning microscope technique.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expression of IL-1β mRNA, activity of IL-1 polypeptide, expression of ICAM-1 mRNA and protein and activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO).RFSULTS: Totally 77 animals were enrolled and all of them entered the stage of result analysis. ① The expression of IL-1β mRNA (A value)was significantly higher in the ischemia-reperfusion group than in the simple ischemia group and normal control group, with significant difference (respectively 1.07±0.33,0.60±0.22,0.57±0.12,t=3.751 7,11.852 6,P ＜ 0.01).② Activity of IL-1 polypeptide (A value )was significantly higher in the ischemia-reperfusion group than in the simple ischemia group and normal control group, with significant difference [respectively (33.7±3.2),(23.8±4.5), (23.1±2.1),t=2.798 8,9.962 7,P ＜ 0.01]. ③ ICAM-1 mRNA(A value)was significantly higher in ischemia-reperfusion group than in simple ischemia group and normal control group, with significant difference[respectively 0.94±0.12,0.52±0.11,0.51±0. 10,t=0.327 0,6.127 4, P＜0.01].④The expression of ICAM-1 protein was significantly higher at ischemiareperfusion for 4,6 and 12 hours than in simple ischemia group and normal control group, with significant difference [Respectively (316.90±26.00),(361.40±18.00),(406.00±23.00),(164.21±2.00),(180.00±32.00) μg/L,t=1.410 3,9.119 3 ,P ＜ 0.01]. ⑤ The activity of MPO was significantly higher at ischemia-reperfusion for 12 hours than in simple ischemia group and normal control group, with significant difference [respectively (15.00±2.00),(7.50±1.67),(6.67±1.00) nkat/g, t=3.012 2,P ＜ 0.01].CONCLUSION: Following reperfusion injury, inflammatory reaction in spinal cord is important molecular basis for causing blood spinal barrier impairment, and plays an important role in the process of secondary spinal cord injury.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the influences of 5-azacytidine (5-Aza) with different concentrations on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) proliferation and differentiation into myoblasts. Methods Bone marrow-derived MSCs of 4 weeks Wistar rats were separated and purified, and then treated with 5-Aza with different concentrations. The growth ability of cell was assayed with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method. The expression of skeletal muscle actin in MSCs was determined with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and electrophoresis after MSCs were induced. Results The cell proliferation was not affected by 0 and 1 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza . There were expressions of skeletal muscle actin treated with 3 -12 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza. Some cells were obviously enlarged at the 9th day after induction and myotubu-like cells were found at the 12th day when treated with 9 and 12 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza. 20 - 30 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza induced the toxic effect on proliferation of MSCs. With the increase of concentration, the proliferation ability of MSCs was weakened. Conclusion 5-Aza affects the expression of regulatory gene to the stem cells and regulate MSCs to orientationally differentiate into myotube-like cells.
RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate the curative effects of apoptin on the multidrug-resistant model, of human osteosarcoma cell line (R-OS-732). Methods: 363 bpVP 3 gene was cloned into the vector pIRES1 and the recombinant eukaryon expression vector pIRVP3 was transfected into R-OS-732 cells with liposome. The expression of apoptin gene at transcription level was proved by RT-PCR. The pathological changes of the cells was observed by light microscope and electronmicroscope. The transfected R-OS-732 cells were collected after 48 hours. The genomic DNA extracted from the cells was observed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The apoptosis rate of the cells was analysed by flow cytometry. Results: The expression of apoptin gene at transcription level had been proved by RT-PCR. The construction changes of the two groups were obviously different under light microscope: most of R-OS-732 cells in the transfected group existed in form of being away from the bottom of the culture dish after 24 hours, in form of apoptosis after 48 hours and in form of necrosis after 72 hours; but those cells in the controlled group grow luxuriantly. And under electronmicroscope there was much change of cell nucleus between the two groups. DNA ladder of the transfected cells was observed through agarose gel electrophoresis only one band was observed in the controlled group; but bands of fragmented DNA observed in ositive control group. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the apoptosis rate of the cells in the transfected group was relatively higher than that of the controlls( P
