RESUMEN

STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective comparative study was conducted to analyze the outcome of surgical and conservative treatment for patients over 80 years old with thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficiency of posterior spinal cord decompression surgery for over 80-year-old patients with TSS. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Concerned about the risk of surgery, over 80-year-old patients with TSS are usually treated conservatively, which often leads to a decline in quality of life. So far as we know, no study demonstrates the risk and benefit of spine surgery for these patients. METHODS: Over 80 years of age who underwent dorsal decompression surgery or conservative treatment due to TSS between January 2010 and November 2020 were analyzed. Sixty-four patients who completed follow-up PROM (patient-reported outcome measure) data were collected, including the mJOA (modified Japanese Orthopedic Association score) scoring system, VAS (visual analogue scale), questionnaire-based assessment of the ODI (Oswestry disability index), BI (Barthel index), and SF-36v2 (Short Form-36v2) Health Survey. The clinical characteristics, preoperative and postoperative imaging findings, operative records, complications, and individual outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 64 patients, 38 underwent posterior decompression, pedicle screw fixation, and posterolateral fusion; another 26 chose conservative treatment. The baseline characteristics of the TSS patients in 2 groups show no significant differences. The clinical symptoms and imaging outcomes showed a significant improvement in the surgical group compared with the nonsurgical group, according to mJOA, VAS, ODI, BI, and SF-36v2. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in 6 patients, and transient neurological impairment occurred in 2 patients. CONCLUSIONS: Posterior decompression surgery for over 80-year-old patients with TSS is a safe and effective treatment, it has a good clinical outcome as well as an acceptable complication rate. However, there were no obvious improvements in quality of life or pain with conservative treatment.

RESUMEN

Objective: To investigate the short-term effectiveness of reconstruction plate internal fixation via improved Stoppa approach combined with iliac fossa approach and Kocher-Langenbeck approach for complex acetabular fractures. Methods: Between January 2015 and January 2020, 30 patients with complex acetabular fractures were treated with reconstruction plate internal fixation via improved Stoppa approach combined with iliac fossa approach and Kocher-Langenbeck approach. There were 20 males and 10 females with an average age of 52.1 years (range, 25-71 years). The cause of injury included traffic accident in 17 cases and falling from height in 13 cases. Among them, 14 cases were left acetabular fractures and 16 cases were right acetabular fractures. According to Letournel classification, there were 16 cases of double column fractures, 2 cases of transverse fracture with posterior wall fracture, 4 cases of anterior column and posterior hemi-transverse fractures, 8 cases of T-shaped fracture. The displacement distance of fracture ranged from 6 to 30 mm (mean, 11.6 mm). The time from injury to operation was 6-14 days (mean, 8.7 days). Results: The operation time was 2.0-4.5 hours (mean, 3.0 hours). The intraoperative blood loss was 200-800 mL (mean, 450.0 mL). All patients were treated with autologous blood transfusion during operation. All incisions healed by first intention after operation, and no infection occurred. All patients were followed up 12-15 months (mean, 13.4 months). The drainage tube was removed at 2-3 days after operation. After extubation, X-ray film and three-dimensional CT were performed to recheck the fracture reduction. According to Matta score system, 20 cases were excellent, 5 were good, and 5 were poor, the excellent and good rate was 83.3%. All fractures healed with the healing time of 16-25 weeks (mean, 17.7 weeks). According to Merle d'Aubigne-Postel score system, the hip function at 1 year after operation was rated as excellent in 18 cases, good in 6 cases, and fair in 6 cases, and the excellent and good rate was 80.0%. Two cases suffered from sciatic nerve injury due to traction during operation, 7 cases had heterotopic ossification, 2 cases had traumatic hip arthritis, and no other complications occurred. Conclusion: For complex acetabular fractures, the reconstruction plate internal fixation via improved Stoppa approach combined with iliac fossa approach and Kocher-Langenbeck approach can obtain good short-term effectiveness with good reduction and hip joint function, and less complications.

RESUMEN

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the CX3CR1 inhibitor AZD8797 in early recovery after acute SCI and elucidate its potential mechanism in blocking inflammation and apoptosis. Adult rats were sacrificed after 3, 7, 10, or 14 days of SCI. The injured spinal tissues were collected for assessing C­X3­C motif chemokine ligand 1(CX3CL1)/C­X3­C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) expression at each time point via western blotting (WB) and quantitative PCR. The cellular localization of the proteins was detected by immunofluorescence. Another batch of rats (subdivided into sham, injury model, AZD8797 and methylprednisolone groups) were used to evaluate locomotive recovery with a Basso Beattie Bresnahan score. Based on the expression level of CX3CR1, these rats were sacrificed at the most prominent stage of CX3CR1 expression (10 days after SCI), for assessing the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor­α/interleukin (IL)­6/IL­1ß and the expression of CX3CL1/CX3CR1/caspase 3/Bcl­2/Bax in the spinal cord tissues through WB and ELISA. Additionally, apoptosis and necrosis in the injured spinal cord were evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase­-mediated dUTP nick­end labeling staining/fluoro­jade B staining. Expression levels of both CX3CR1 and CX3CL1 reached their peak 10 days after the injury, followed by a dramatic downward trend at 14 days. The enhanced expression of CX3CR1 was detected in astrocytes and microglia of the injured spinal cord. AZD8797 improved locomotive recovery after 10 days of SCI and was as effective as methylprednisolone. The effect of AZD8797 was mediated by suppressing apoptosis, necrosis and inflammatory responses, as assessed by WB/ELISA and morphological examinations. The current study has demonstrated that AZD8797 can effectively block overwhelming inflammation, apoptosis and necrosis after SCI and facilitate early recovery of locomotive function.

RESUMEN

The mechanisms of secondary brain injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are complex and are the result of multiple factors. Protecting the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and ameliorating cerebral edema are two key factors for improving the prognosis of TBI patients. The BBB is regulated by the hedgehog pathway through Scube2 and Shh protein. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) influences the transport system and enzyme system of vascular endothelial cells, possibly via the hedgehog pathway. The present study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of MMP-9 in TBI via the hedgehog pathway. Eighty male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish a murine model of TBI. Subsequently, the effect of SB-3CT-a specific inhibitor of MMP-9-was assessed via Western blotting, real-time PCR, immunofluorescence, apoptotic assays, and neurological scoring. The results showed that, compared with those of the sham-operation group, the mRNA and protein levels of MMP-9 were significantly increased after TBI, while the expressions of Scube2 and Shh were decreased. Application of SB-3CT at 24 h after TBI significantly reduced neuronal apoptosis and BBB permeability, while increasing expressions of Scube2 and Shh. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate an influence of TBI-induced MMP-9 upregulation in the induction of post-traumatic nerve and BBB injury, which may be partially mediated by Scube2 and Shh via the hedgehog pathway.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Local antibiotic therapy has gained increasing attraction in the prevention and treatment of fracture infection. However, no reports have used local antibiotic therapy in the management of early infection after fracture fixation with retention of implants. METHODS: The present surgical technique report the use of antibiotic impregnated bone cement in the management of early infection after fracture fixation. Initially, the fractures were fixed with plates. The average time from initial procedure to debridement was15 days (range 9 to 25 days). The infections were treated with irrigation, debridement, and retention of the implant. The lateral surface of the plates was coated with antibiotic cement and the bone defect was filled with antibiotic cement spacer after thorough debridement. RESULTS: Ten patients underwent this technique. The mean follow-up was 2.0 years (range 6 months to 4 years). The bone union rate was 100%, and the average time to bone healing was5.5 months.There was recurrence of infection in one patient before bone healing, but the implants were left in place until bone healed, and the infection was eradicated after implant removal. CONCLUSION: Coating the plate with antibiotic cement is a simple technique which may play a role in the management of early infection after fracture fixation.

RESUMEN

RATIONALE: Dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint and injury to distal forearm are commonly encountered. However, delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis has been relatively rare due to improved diagnosis and treatment. Treatment of old dislocation of radioulnar joint is challenging due to development of secondary chronic instability and difficulties in restoration of joint function. PATIENT CONCERNS: This report describes three cases of patients complained about inability to extend their little fingers. DIAGNOSES: Local examination and X-ray revealed chronic ulnar joint dislocation. INTERVENTION: Wrist arthroplasty was used to perform ulnar distal articular cleansing and repair of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) articular cartilage. The Sauve-Kapandji osteotomy was performed to treat radial joint dislocation and stabilize ulnar joint. Repair of spontaneous fracture of the extensor tendon was also performed. Postoperative gypsum was used for immobilization for 4 weeks. OUTCOMES: The follow-up results are reported. Based on Cooney wrist score, the preoperative scores were poor (55, 50, 60), while the post-operative scores were excellent (90, 85, 90) in all 3 cases. LESSONS: Early and accurate diagnosis and treatment is important for the recovery of distal radius fracture for patients with dislocation of the ulnar joint. The correct treatment determines the degree of later functional recovery. Early surgical treatment is recommended for patients with unsatisfactory reset. Delayed diagnosis and treatment often lead to chronic and persistent lower ulnar joint subluxation or dislocation, or even osteoarthritis. All patients in this report showed great improvement in wrist function after surgery.
