Degradable high purity magnesium screw in fixing the greater trochanter bone flap pedicled with transverse branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery: Treatment of avascular necrosis of femoral head in 12 young and middle-aged patients / 中华显微外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of a degradable high-purity magnesium screw in fixing the greater trochanter bone flap of a lateral circumflex femoral artery transverse branch in the treatment of ischemic necrosis of femoral head in young and middle-aged adults.Methods:From February 2017 to February 2019, 12 cases (15 hips) of young and middle-aged patients with avascular necrosis of femoral head were treated in the Department of Orthopaedic of Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University. The age of patients was 30-53 years old. According to Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO), 2 hips were graded in stage II b, 4 in ARCO II c, 1 in ARCO III a, 5 in ARCO III b, 2 in ARCO III c and 1 in ARCO IV. The greater trochanter bone flap with a lateral circumferential vascular branch was used to fill the necrotic area, and fixed by a biodegradable high purity magnesium screw in the bone flap transfer. At 3, 6 and 12 months postoperation, the patient came to the hospital outpatient clinic for follow-up, and then were reviewed once a year. Imaging efficacy was evaluated by comparing preoperative and postoperative imaging. The Harris score and Visual Anoalogue Scale (VAS) score were tested at 12 and 24 months after surgery. The Harris score and VAS score before and after surgery were compared by Friedman test, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:All 12 patients (15 hips) were entered in the 24-36 months of follow-up. At 12 and 24 months after surgery, Harris score was found at 87 (86, 92) and 90 (87, 92) respertively, which were both higher than that before surgery [59 (52, 74)] with a significant statistical difference ( Z=-3.743, Z=-4.473, P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in Harris scores between 12 and 24 months after the surgery ( Z=-0.730, P>0.05). At the 12 and 24 months after surgery, VAS score was found at 3 (2, 3) and 2 (1, 3) respertively, which were both lower than that before surgery [6 (5, 6) ] with a significant statistical difference ( Z=-3.560, Z=-4.656, P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in VAS scores between 12 and 24 months after surgery ( Z=-1.095, P>0.05). X-ray and CT scan showed that the bone flaps healed well and the areas of osteonecrosis were repaired. Thirteen femoral heads were in good shape, and 2 femoral heads had further collapse of hips. No patients underwent joint replacement surgery at the time of last follow-up. Conclusion:Fixation of the greater trochanter flap of lateral circumflex femoral artery transverse branch with a degradable high-purity magnesium screw can ensure the healing of the flap at the implantation site and avoid the displacement and shedding of the flap. It is a new therapeutic option to treat the avascular necrosis of femoral head of young and middle-aged people.

Relation of openness of blood-brain barrier by borneol with histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Borneol can open blood-brain barrier (BBB) but the mechanisms are not very clear. Histamine and 5-hydroxtryptamine can take part in regulation of permeability of BBB. There is not report on the rela tion between the effect of opening BBB of borneol and the regulation of permeability of BBB of histamine (HA)/5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). OBJECTIVE: To study the relation between the effect of opening BBB of bornool and the regulation of permeability of BBB of histamine (HA)/5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT).DESIGN: A completely randomized and controlled study.SETTING: Clinical Pharmacological Institute of University of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangzhou.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out at the Clinical Pharmacological Institute of University of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangzhou from September 2003 to February 2004. Totally 104 healthy male SD rats, weighting 230-27.0 g, supplied by Guangdong Medical Experimental Animal Center, were selected.METHODS: The rats were randomly divided into 13 groups: pre-medicine group and post-medicine group (high, moderate and low dosage group and 5, 20, 45 and 60 minutes group in each dosage group) with 8 in each group. Borneol was mixed as 10% millet oil suspension. Rats were fasted before experiment for whole night, and medicine was perfused on the next morning with the high, moderate and low dosage of 0.15, 0.12 and 0.09 g/kg respectively. Hypothalami of rats was selected at various time points to make biological samples. Contents of HA and 5-HT were assayed with HPLC system electrochemical detector.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes of level of histamin (HA) and 5-HT in hypothalamus of rats after administration of borneol.RESULTS: Data of totally 104 rats was entered the final analysis. ① Contents of HA and 5-HT in hypothalami were 2.07±0.54 μg/g and 1.45±0.14 μg/g respectively. ② The level of HA in hypothalamus of rats after different doses of borneol were higher than that of before administration. Comparing the level of HA in 20 minutes after moderate dose with before administration, the level of HA in 20 minutes was increased significantly [(3.36±0.21) μg/g, P < 0.01], the others of moderate dose, the 45 minutes after high dose, the 20 and 45 minutes after low dose were also increased significantly than before administration (P < 0.05). ③ After administration of different doses of borneol, the level of 5-HT after high dose were higher than that of before administration [5, 20, 45 and 60 minutes after medicine: (1.90±0.32), (3.28 ±0.25), (2.66±0.46), (2.80±0.34) μg/g, respectively; (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01)]; the level of 5-HT after 5, 20 and 45 minutes of moderate and low dose were increased significantly too (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Borneol could open BBB by increasing levels of HA and 5-HT in hypothalamus of rats.Borneol mediates opening of BBB by increasing levels of HA and5-HT in rats.
