ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Determinar los factores de riesgo implicados en el desarrollo de las fracturas interimplante de fémur, analizar los tratamientos empleados en las mismas y su influencia en el pronóstico clínico y funcional de los pacientes. Material y métodos: Estudio analítico, observacional, tipo casos y controles en una muestra de 38 pacientes (40 fémures) intervenidos en nuestro centro, con presencia de 2 implantes femorales ipsilaterales, proximal y distal. Se han registrado 10 casos de fractura interimplante frente a 28 pacientes sin fractura, y se ha analizado la influencia de diferentes variables, como la edad, el sexo, las comorbilidades, las variables radiológicas, los tipos de tratamiento empleados, la evolución, etc. Resultados: El sexo femenino fue predominante en ambos grupos, con 80,7 años de edad media. La osteoporosis resultó estadísticamente significativa (p=0,007) para el desarrollo de estas fracturas. Las variables radiológicas no mostraron significación estadística. El tratamiento quirúrgico fue el más habitual, siendo la osteosíntesis con placa la opción más utilizada. La mortalidad fue del 40% a los 4 años. Aunque todas las fracturas consolidaron, se objetivó un deterioro significativo en la deambulación en los supervivientes. Conclusiones: Son fracturas predominantes en mujeres de edad avanzada. La osteoporosis constituye un factor de riesgo estadísticamente significativo. A pesar de un tratamiento óptimo y buena evolución de las fracturas se observó un deterioro en la capacidad funcional de los pacientes. Son necesarios sistemas de clasificación y algoritmos terapéuticos específicos que optimicen el manejo y pronóstico de estos pacientes
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the risk factors involved in the development of these fractures and analyze the treatments used as well as their influence on the clinical and functional prognosis of patients. Materials and methods: We made an observational, retrospective case-control study, with a sample of 38 patients (40 femoral bones) operated in our hospital, who had two femoral ipsilateral implants, proximal and distal. We found 10 cases of interimplant fracture and 28 patients who had not suffered a fracture (2 of them had bilateral implants). We analyzed the influence of different variables, such as age, gender, comorbidities, radiological variables, type of treatments employed, clinical evolution, etc. Results: the female sex was predominant in both groups, 80.7 was the average age. Osteoporosis was statistically significant (P=.007) for the development of these fractures. We did not find statistical significance in the radiological variables. Surgical treatment was the most frequent, and the plate of osteosynthesis the most employed option. We found a death rate of 40% at 4 years. Although all fractures healed, the survivors' ambulation ability was reduced. Conclusions: interimplant fractures are predominant in elderly women. Osteoporosis is a statistically significant risk factor. Despite optimal treatment and fracture healing, functional outcomes were decreased. Specific classification systems and therapeutic algorithms are necessary to improve the management and prognosis of these patients

Objetivo. Evaluar a largo plazo, el resultado clínico-radiológico, la supervivencia y las complicaciones intra y postoperatorias de pacientes intervenidos de cirugía de revisión de cadera mediante esta técnica. Material y métodos. Estudio analítico observacional, prospectivo y no aleatorizado de 26 pacientes intervenidos de cirugía de revisión de cadera en nuestro hospital (1997-1998), a los que se les realizó un seguimiento clínico-radiológico y un análisis de la supervivencia del implante. Resultados. Se observan diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los valores pre y postoperatorios de las escalas de Harris y de Merle D'Aubigne. La supervivencia del implante teniendo en cuenta como punto final la cirugía de revisión fue del 84% a los 13 años. Hubo 9 complicaciones intraoperatorias (6 de ellas fueron fracturas) e influyeron de forma significativa en la estancia hospitalaria. El 70% de los pacientes no tuvo ninguna complicación postoperatoria. Ninguna de las variables analizadas influyó en el hundimiento radiográfico de los implantes. Discusión. Diversas técnicas intentan solventar el déficit de stock óseo en las cirugías de revisión de cadera, pero solo una intenta recuperarlo, el injerto compactado. Conclusiones. La técnica de Ling ofrece una mejoría clínica tanto en la escala de Merle D'Aubigne como en la de Harris, a medio-largo plazo. La presentación de complicaciones intraoperatorias incrementa la estancia hospitalaria y los días necesarios para iniciar la sedestación. La técnica de Ling es una buena opción a tener en cuenta en pacientes jóvenes en los que es previsible que haya una nueva cirugía de revisión en el futuro (AU)
Objective. Long term clinical and radiological evaluation of results, survival, and peri- operative and post-operative complications of the patients who have been operated on for revision total hip arthroplasty using the impaction allografting and cemented rod technique. Material and methods. An observational, analytical, prospective and non-random study was conducted on 26 patients who underwent revision total hip arthroplasty in our Hospital (1997-98). They were clinically and radiologically assessed, and a survival analysis of the implant was performed. Results. Statistically significant differences were identified in the pre- and post-operative values, according to Harris and Merle D'Aubigne scores. The femoral components survival was considered as an endpoint of the revision replacement, which was 84% at a mean of 13 years. There were 9 intraoperative complications (6 were fractures) and they significantly affected the length of hospital stay. No post-operative complications were observed in 70% of the patients. None of the analysed variables had any influence on the radiological subsidence of the femoral component. Discussion. Several techniques aim to solve the bone stock deficiency in revision total hip arthroplasty, but only impaction grafting attempts to recover it. Conclusions. The Ling's technique shows an improvement over the Merle D'Aubigne and Harris scores, in the medium-long term. The intraoperative complications are mainly an increase in the length of hospital stay and the number of days needed to be able to sit down. Ling's technique is a good option to consider in young patients where it is foreseeable that there is a new revision surgery in the future (AU)

A series of novel conformationally restricted butyrophenones (2-(aminoethyl)- and 3-(aminomethyl)thieno- or benzocycloalkanones bearing (6-fluorobenzisoxazolyl)piperidine, (p-fluorobenzoyl)piperidine, (o-methoxyphenyl)piperazine, or linear butyrophenone fragments) were prepared and evaluated as atypical antipsychotic agents by in vitro assays of affinity for dopamine receptors (D(1), D(2)) and serotonin receptors (5-HT(2A), 5-HT(2C)) and by in vivo assays of antipsychotic potential and the risk of inducing extrapyramidal side effects. Potency and selectivity depended mainly on the amine fragment connected to the cycloalkanone structure. As a group, compounds with a benzisoxazolyl fragment had the highest 5-HT(2A) activities, followed by the benzoylpiperidine derivatives; in general, alpha-substituted cycloalkanone derivatives were more active than the corresponding beta-substituted congeners. CoMFA (comparative molecular field analysis) and docking studies showed electrostatic, steric, and lipophilic determinants of 5-HT(2A) and D(2) affinities and 5-HT(2A)/D(2) selectivity. The in vitro and in vivo pharmacological profiles of N-[(4-oxo-4H-5, 6-dihydrocyclopenta[b]thiophene-5-yl)ethyl]-4-(6-fluorobenzisox azol-3 -yl)piperidine (23b, QF 0510B), N-[(4-oxo-4,5,6, 7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-5-yl)ethyl]-4-(6-fluorobenzisoxazol- 3-y l)piperidine (24b, QF 0610B), and N-[(7-oxo-4,5,6, 7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-6-yl)ethyl]-4-(6-fluorobenzisoxazol- 3-y l)piperidine (29b, QF 0902B) suggest that they may be effective antipsychotic drugs with low propensity to induce extrapyramidal side effects.

Starting from benzo- or thienocycloalkaneacetic acids, we have prepared a series of 1-(3-p-fluorobenzoylpropyl)-4-(1-oxo-benzo- or thienocycloalkyl-2-ethyl)piperazines 8a-e containing both semirigid and linear butyrophenones pharmacophores. The affinities of these compounds for dopamine (D2) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT2A) receptors were evaluated in vitro in receptor-binding assays and in functional experiments. The ratios of pKi's for 5-HT2A/D2 receptors may be useful for rapid screening of new compounds and assessing potential induction of extrapyramidal symptoms; ratio values > or = 1.12 (Meltzer's ratio) are predictive of an atypical antipsychotic profile. The new molecules had a ratio in the range of 0.96-1.11 while haloperidol showed a ratio of 0.93. The 2-piperazinoethyl thiotetralone derivative 8d (QF 0506B) with a ratio of 1.11 was the most active compound.
