Management of bone defects in total knee arthroplasty / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Bone defects are one of the most important challenges that surgeons have to manage in total knee arthroplasty. The reasonable treatment method can guarantee the effect of the repair operation. OBJECTIVE: To review the relevant literatures concerning bone defects treated by primary total knee arthroplasty and revision total knee arthroplasty, and to analyze the optimal managements for different types of bone defects. METHODS: Relevant literatures were identified in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, Vip, PubMed, Medline, and Web of Science. The key words were "total knee arthroplasty, total knee replacement, revision total knee arthroplasty, bone loss, bone defect, bone deficiency, management". The included studies were analyzed and summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Sixty-two studies regarding total knee arthroplasty for bone defects were included, without recognized standards on the type of bone defects. AORI is the most widely used classification for bone defects. (2) Pre-operated detailed evaluation including laboratory and radiographic examination, and accurate diagnosis are the key to success. (3) Management of bone defect was similar in tibia and femur, but there is still no standard classification and management of patellar bone defect. (4) Using stem fixation whenever a femoral or tibial component is revised can improve clinical outcome. (5) Through detailed evaluation, accurate diagnose and appropriate classification of bone defect, selection, according to the characteristics of different strategies, the age of the patient and the needs of life, can get a good clinical result.

Diagnosis and treatment progression of pigmented villonodular synovitis of ankle joint / 医学研究生学报

Pigmented villonodular synovitis of ankle joint is an uncommon bone and joint disease in clinic. Because of its oc-cult onset,slow progression and the the lack of typical characteristics at the early stage of the disease,thus,being clinically prone to misdiagnosis. The etiology and pathogenesis of this disease has not yet fully elucidated. However,according to literatures reported that there are inflammatory reactions, lipid metabolism disorders, trauma, genetic factors and tumor theory. At present, the treatment of pigmented villonodular synovitis of ankle joint has not yet stereotypes,while the medical community has not yet reached a consensus on its treatment. This article systematicly reviews the etiology and pathogenesis,pathological features,imaging findings,clinical manifes-tations and the latest treatment progress of ankle igmented villonodular synovitis.

Risk factors and precautions of inpatient suicide from the perspective of nurses: A qualitative study / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

The risk factors and precautions of inpatient suicide were explored. Thirty suicide victims were drawn from the adverse event reports of suicidal act during hospitalization in a general hospital from 2008 to 2014. Data were gathered from the focus group interviews of twelve nurses who had experienced inpatient suicide. The data were analyzed by using analytical technique based on grounded theory, and software QSR NVIVO8 was used to aid the collation of data. Three main themes of risk factors about inpatient suicide emerged from the analysis: individual value, social factors and environmental factors. The individual value was categorized into different groups such as sense of guilt, hopelessness and low self-esteem. Social factors included two aspects of negative life events and social support. Three themes of precautions about inpatient suicide appeared in this study: evaluation, nursing and information exchange. Evaluation was elaborated from both physical and psychological assessments. This finding extends existing work of risk factors and precautions about inpatient suicide and brings new knowledge about the reasons why inpatients commit suicide.

A field trial for evaluating the safety of recombinant human interferon alpha-2b for nasal spray / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the safety of recombinant human interferon alpha-2b for nasal spray for the prevention of SARS and other upper respiratory viral infections.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Field epidemiologic evaluation was conducted, the design was randomized and had a synchronously parallel control group. In the study, the drugs were given for five days and all subjects were followed up for ten days.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>During the period of using interferon, body temperature of the experimental group was normal compared to the control group. Experimental group had more influenza-like symptoms than the control group (P < 0.05), such as headache (4.83%-7.09%), dizziness (7.17%-11.63%), lassitude (8.55%-15.06%), muscular soreness (4.43%-7.09%), pharynx dryness (12.10%-17.85%), angina (6.25%-8.72%), abdominal pain (2.30%-5.50%) and diarrhea (2.45%-5.66%). Most of side effects reached their peak with in the first 3 days. Except for pharynx dryness, the incidences of all other side effects declined after completion of the use of the trial drug, and incidences of some symptoms in experimental group were lower than those of the control group. There were no significant differences in the symptoms of cough and expectoration between the experimental group and the control group. The incidence of exanthem in the control group was significantly higher than that in the experimental group. The side effect of bloody nasal mucus was not observed in experimental group, which had been reported by other authors in several volunteer studies.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Using recombinant human interferon alpha-2b for nasal spray could lead to some influenza-like symptoms, however, all those symptoms were mild , reversible, and relieved after completion of the use of the trial drug. No serious side effects were found during the period of following up. The authors conclude that the drug is safe.</p>
