RESUMO
Objective To explore the effects of TRAF6 inhibition on autophagy,myocardial inflammation and cardiac function in septic mice.Methods Twenty-four male Kunming mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:sham,sham + C25-140(sham+C),cecal ligation and puncture(CLP),and cecal ligation and puncture+C25-140(CLP+C)group.Sham+C group and CLP+C group were intraperitoneally injected with C25-140 after operation.LVEF and LVFS were evaluated by ultrasound 24 hours after operation.Serum TNF-α and IL1-β were measured by ELISA.HE staining was used to evaluate myocardial inflammatory response.Autophagosomes and mitochondrial microstructure of cardiomyocytes were observed by transmission electron microscopy.TRAF6 mRNA in myocardial tissue was detected by qPCR.The expression of TRAF6,P62,Beclin-1 and LC3B protein was detected by W-B.The effect of C25-140 on myocardial injury in the septic mice was observed by inhibiting autophagy with 3-MA.Results Compared with the sham group,the levels of TRAF6 mRNA and TRAF6 in the myocardial tissue in the CLP group were significantly increased(P<0.05)and the serum TNF-α and IL1-β concentrations were signifi-cantly increased(P<0.05).Meanwhile,the myocardial tissue HE staining showed inflammatory cell infiltration and the LVEF and LVFS levels were significantly decreased in the CLP group(P<0.05).Compared with CLP group,the CLP+C group showed that the expression of TRAF6 mRNA and TRAF6 protein decreased(P<0.05),serum TNF-α and IL1-β decreased(P<0.05),myocardial histopathological myocardial inflammatory cell infiltration decreased,the LVEF and LVFS levels increased(P<0.05).Electron microscopy showed that the mitochondrial swelling decreased,autophagosomes increased,expression of Beclin-1 and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ increased,and P62 expression decreased(P<0.05).As compared with CLP+C group,the CLP+C+3-MA group showed that obvious inflamma-tory cell infiltration in the myocardial pathology and the LVEF and LVFS levels decreased after 3-MA inhibited autophagy(P<0.05).Conclusion Inhibition of TRAF6 can not only ameliorate myocardial inflammatory injury and cardiac dysfunction in septic mice,but promote the involvment of cardiomyocyte autophagy in provention from sepsis-induced myocardial injury.
RESUMO
Objective:To determine the influences of structural changes after valgus impacted femoral neck fracture on hip range of motion (ROM) so as to provide evidence for clinical judgment of whether reduction is necessary or not in the internal fixation of such fractures.Methods:1. 3D reconstructions of the CT hip scans were performed for the 73 patients who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University for valgus impacted femoral neck fractures from January 2019 to April 2019.The femoral neck-shaft angle, anteversion angle, femoral offset, axial alpha angle, lateral center edge angle (LCEA), anterior center edge angle (ACEA) and center displacement were measured and compared between the affected and healthy sides to determine the influences of the fracture on the above indexes. 2. Hip motions (flexion and MIR-90°) were simulated on bilateral sides to determine the influences of structural changes after fracture on hip ROM using stepwise regression and Logistic regression. 3. The distribution of femoral-acetabular contact points on the femoral side was observed in simulation of hip flexion to detect the potential area for femoracetabular impingement (FAI) induced by the fracture displacement.Results:1. The valgus impacted femoral neck fractures had significant influences on femoral neck-shaft angle, anteversion angle, femoral offset and axial alpha angle. Compared with the healthy side, on average, the femoral neck-shaft angle increased by 5.1°, anteversion angle decreased by 6.5°, femoral offset decreased by 8.2 mm and axial alpha angle increased by 9.7° on the affected side, showing significant differences ( P<0.05).The displacements of the femoral head center averaged 9.2 mm. There was no significant difference in LCEA or ACEA between the affected and healthy sides ( P>0.05). 2. Compared with the healthy side, on average, the simulated hip flexion decreased significantly by 27.0° and the hip MIR-90° decreased significantly by 20.3° on the affected side after fracture ( P<0.05). Regression analysis showed that femoral anteversion angle, ACEA and displacement of the femoral head center had a significant influence on hip ROM, especially the anteversion angle. When the anteversion angle decreased by more than 7.1°, the hip flexion would decrease by at least 20%. 3. The points of FAI distributed more widely on the fracture side. Compared with the healthy side, the impact points extended outward and upward in hip flexion and extended inwardly in hip MIR-90° on the affected side. Conclusions:After a valgus impacted femoral neck fracture, if the femoral anteversion angle has been decreased by more than 7.1°, the hip ROM can be greatly influenced and the points of FAI can be distributed more widely. Therefore, reduction should be recommended before internal fixation of the fracture.
RESUMO
Femoral neck fractures are not common in young patients,accounting for merely 3％ of all these fractures.However,since the young femoral neck fractures are mostly caused by high energy violence,they usually jeopardize local blood supply and mechanical environment,resulting in higher risks of non-union and avascular necrosis.Besides,young patients often make a greater demand for functional recovery.Consequently,young femoral neck fracture is always a clinical challenge.In this article,we introduce in details the latest techniques and standards for reduction of young femoral neck fracture,compare advantages and drawbacks of various internal fixations,illustrate up-to-date progress in treatment methods and concepts for delayed and nonunited femoral neck fractures,and lastly put forward some unsolved issues open to dispute.In treatment of young femoral neck fractures,it is necessary for us to get familiarized with their anatomy and biomechanical characteristics,grasp the principles of treatment on the whole,and choose operational and internal fixation methods based on the clinical evidence before we can improve therapeutic efficacy,accelerate rehabilitation progress and restore function of the hip joint as much as possible.
