Objective To investigate short term effect of brachypodium total hip arthroplasty for young patients with osteonecrosis, and to provide a reference for clinical treatment. Methods From January 2008 to January 2012, 44 cases of femoral head necrosis patients (46 hips) were selected, with age from 28 to 52, and average age (39.94 ± 5.25) years old; according to prosthesis type they were divided into control group and observation group, control group( 22 cases of 24 hips, using metal-on-polyethylene Duraloc total hip prosthesis replacement treatment), and in the observation group (22 cases of 22 hips, with use of ceramic-on-ceramic Metha Brachypodium total hip prosthesis replacement therapy). Patients were followed up for 12 to 36 months, Harris score, range of motion and other indicators were compared in two groups of patients. Results In observation group and control group, the level of WOMAC score, total Harris score and function, motion range, pain, abnormalities score were significantly improved compared with those before operation:in observation group:(27.46 ± 4.19) scores vs.(66.38 ± 5.84) scores, (92.73 ± 7.68) scores vs.(42.67 ± 7.28) scores, (45.28 ± 5.34) scores vs. (22.19 ± 4.19) scores, (4.46 ± 0.63) scores vs. (3.25 ± 0.66) scores, (39.54 ± 1.54) scores vs. (15.39 ± 2.86) scores, (3.45 ± 0.65) scores vs. (1.84 ± 0.32) scores;in control group:(28.16 ± 4.07) scores vs. (65.67 ± 6.22) scores, (93.03 ± 7.54) scores vs.(43.74 ± 7.57) scores, (44.65 ± 5.26) scores vs. (22.45 ± 4.37) scores, (4.74 ± 0.71) scores vs. (3.17 ± 0.59) scores, (39.87 ± 1.26) scores vs. (16.19 ± 2.55) scores, (3.77 ± 0.73) scores vs. (1.93 ± 0.43) scores, and there were significantly differences (P0.05). All patients were follower up for 12-36(23.19 ± 3.66) months. One case in observation group had leg swelling and healed after symptomatic treatment, 1 case in the control group had limb swelling, and 1 case had extensive subcutaneous bleeding .And they were cured after symptomatic treatment 1 case had femoral dislocation, and no secondary dislocation happened after the implementation of manual reduction. Conclusions Brachypodium ceramic ceramic total hip replacement therapy has same effect for young osteonecrosis patients compared to polyethylene and metal prosthesis in improving hip function, but the ceramic-on-ceramic prosthesis brachypodium has better performance in wear resistance with smaller friction coefficient is smaller, and is suitable for young patients.

Objective To study the effects of bortezomib on the expression of NF-κB, IκB and P-gp of drug-resistant K562 cells induced by daunorubicin (K562/DNR), to explore the molecular mechanism of drug-resistant reverse. Methods The expression of NF-κB, IκB and P-gp in K562/DNR cells were detected when the cells had been treated with 100 μg/ml DNR only or together with 4 μg/L bortezomib for 12 h, 24 h and 36 h. The apoptosis rates were detected in each group respectively and the activity of NF-κB was detected by ELISA method. Results Compared with the control group, the expressions of NF-κB and P-gp in K562/DNR could be increased and IκB was decreased after being treated with DNR. When K562/DNR were cultured with bortezomib, the expressions of NF-κB and P-gp induced by DNR were significantly suppressed and IκB was increased. The activity of NF-κB were detected in different time points: (15.3±1.87) %[(23.8± 2.27) % in DNR group] at 12 h, (10.2±1.69) % [(25.4±1.98) % in DNR group] at 24 h, (6.08±2.53) % [(26.9±2.58) % in DNR group] at 36 h. There were a significant differences between DNR group and DNR+PS-341group. The apoptosis rates were increased in DNR+PS-341 group at different time points than those in DNRgroup, (35.23±5.15) % [(15.56±4.12) % in DNR group] at 12 h, (40.26±6.89) % [(17.25±2.89) % in DNR group] at 24 h, (43.58±7.69) % [(22.47±4.58) % in DNR group] at 36 h. The effccts showed the character of time-dependent pattern. Conclusion Bortezomib could downregulate the expressions of NF-κB and P-gp in K562/DNR, reverse the drug resistance and up-regulate the apoptotic rates in K562/DNR cells.
