RESUMO
ObjectiveTo evaluate some properties of scutellarin-phospholipid complex nanoemulsion(SCU-PC-NE), such as release, cell uptake and tissue distribution, and to investigate its effect on ameliorating lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced vascular endothelial injury. MethodSCU-PC-NE was prepared by weighting SCU-PC, ethyl oleate, Kolliphor HS15, 1,2-propylene glycol(50, 400, 514.3, 85.7 mg), respectively. And the appearance of SCU-PC-NE was observed by transmission electron microscope, the average paticle size and Zeta potential were measured by nanopotential particle size analyzer. The cumulative release of SCU-PC-NE in vitro was measured by dynamic dialysis, thiazolyl blue(MTT) colorimetric assay was used to investigate the effect of SCU-PC-NE on the viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs), the inverted fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry were used to investigate cell uptake of HUVECs by SCU-PC-NE in vitro using coumarin 6 as a fluorescent probe, the tissue distribution of DiR/SCU-PC-NE labeled by near infrared fluorescent dyes was obeserved by small animal in vivo imaging system. The inflammation injury model was established by co-incubation with LPS(1 mg·L-1) and HUVECs, the effect of SCU-PC-NE on the levels of interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-6 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), 18 Kunming male mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, blank preparation group(equivalent to high dose group), SCU group and SCU-PC-NE low and high dose groups(5, 10 mg·kg-1), 3 mice in each group, and the drug administration groups were administered once in the tail vein at the corresponding dose every 48 h, equal volume of normal saline was given to the blank group and the model group, and the drug was administered for 4 consecutive times. Except for the blank group, the endothelial inflammatory injury was induced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS(10 mg·kg-1) at 12 h before the last administration in each group. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to investigate the effect of SCU-PC-NE on the histopathological changes in the thoracic aorta of mice. ResultThe appearance of SCU-PC-NE displayed pale yellow milky light, mostly spherical with rounded appearance and relatively uniform particle size distribution, with the average particle size of 35.31 nm, Zeta potential of 7.23 mV, and the encapsulation efficiency of 75.24%. The cumulative release in vitro showed that SCU-PC-NE exhibited sustained release properties compared with SCU. The cell viability of SCU-PC-NE was >90% at a concentration range of 1.05-8.4 mg·L-1. The results of cellular uptake experiments showed that the cellular uptake ability of SCU-PC-NE was significantly enhanced when compared with the SCU group(P<0.01). Compared with normal mice, the results of tissue distribution showed that the fluorescence intensity of DiR/SCU-PC-NE was significantly enhanced in the spleen, kidney, brain and thoracic aorta of mice at different time points after intraperitoneal injection of LPS(P<0.05, P<0.01), especially in thoracic aorta. ELISA results showed that the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in the model group were significantly increased when compared with the blank group(P<0.05, P<0.01), and compare with the model group, all administration groups significantly down-regulated IL-1β level, with the strongest effect in the SCU-PC-NE high-dose group(P<0.01), and all administration groups significantly down-regulated IL-6 level, with the strongest effect in the SCU-PC-NE low-dose group(P<0.05). Compare with the blank group, the results of HE staining showed that the endothelial cells were damaged, the elastic fibers were broken and arranged loosely in the model group, although similar vascular injury could be observed in the blank preparation group, SCU group and SCU-PC-NE low-dose group, the vascular endothelial damage was significantly reduced in the high-dose group of SCU-PC-NE, which had a better effect than that in the SCU group. ConclusionSCU-PC-NE can promote the uptake of drugs by endothelial cells and effectively enriched in the site of vascular endothelial injury caused by LPS, suggesting that it has a protective effect on vascular endothelial injury and is a good carrier of SCU.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the feasibility and advantages and disadvantages of local anesthesia for TiRobot-assisted removal of sacroiliac screws by comparison with general anesthesia for TiRobot-assisted removal of sacroiliac screws.Methods:A retrospective study was performed in 39 patients with posterior pelvic ring fracture-dislocation who had undergone removal of percutaneous sacroiliac screws after fracture union from January 2017 to December 2020 at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital Affiliated to Chengdu University. Their sacroiliac screws were removed with TiRobot assistance under local anesthesia (LA group) or general anesthesia (GA group). In the LA group of 18 cases, there were 10 males and 8 females, aged (43.3 ± 8.4) years (from 25 to 58 years); in the GA group of 21 cases, there were 12 males and 9 females, aged (44.9 ± 9.0) years (from 23 to 60 years). The 2 groups were compared in terms of time for planning screw removal path, fluoroscopy frequency, fluoroscopy time, operation time, anesthesia time, anesthesia cost, postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) and postoperative ambulation time.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in baseline data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). Follow-ups revealed grade A wound healing in all patients. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in time for planning screw removal path, fluoroscopy frequency, fluoroscopy time or operation time ( P>0.05). The anesthesia time [(41.6 ± 8.3) min], anesthesia cost [(653.5 ± 102.6) yuan] and postoperative ambulation time [(2.6 ± 0.6) h] in the LA group were significantly less than those in the GA group [(52.3 ± 9.5) min, (2,475.6 ± 261.8) yuan and (8.7 ± 2.4) h] while the VAS score in the former group (3.8 ± 1.5) was significantly higher than that in the latter group (2.5 ± 1.3) (all P<0.05). Conclusions:It is feasible to use local anesthesia for TiRobot-assisted removal of sacroiliac screws. In TiRobot-assisted removal of sacroiliac screws, compared with general anesthesia, local anesthesia may lead to shorter anesthesia time, lower anesthesia cast and shorter ambulation time, but the patients need to be compliant enough.

RESUMO
Objective To compare intramedullary nail (IN) and dynamic hip screw (DHS) regarding their effects on hip abduction following fixation of intertrochanteric fractures.Methods From January 2008 to December 2015,310 patients with intertrochanteric firacture were treated at our department.They were divided into 2 groups depending on the manner of treatment.198 patients (71 males and 127 females) were subjected to intramedullary nailing,with an average age of 74.7 ± 5.6 years;there were 50 cases of 31-A 1,134 ones of 3 1-A2 and 14 ones of 3 1-A3 according to the AO classification.112 patients (35 males and 77 females) were subjected to dynamic hip screwing,with an average age of 74.1 ± 6.7 years;there were 24 cases of 31-A1,78 ones of 31-A2 and 10 ones of 31-A3.The 2 groups were compared in terms of time for weight-bearing ambulation and stand on one leg,gait,pelvic tilt,range of hip active abduction,muscle strength of the abductor and hip function at the final follow-up.Results Of this series,284 patients were followed up for 1.5 to 8.5 years (average,3.6 years) and 26 patients died.The IN group achieved significantly better outcomes in terms of time for weight-bearing ambulation (37.6 ±4.9 d),time for stand on one leg (60.1 ± 9.5 d),cases of normal gait and normal pelvic tilt (171 and 179),muscle strength of the abductor (62.3 ±4.4 N · m),and range of hip active abduction than the DHS group (53.0 ±8.4 d;71.0 ± 12.0 d;67 and 85;56.6 ± 3.3 N · m,respectively) (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the hip function at the final follow-up(91.4% versus 84.5% in the excellent and good rate)(P > 0.05).Conclusion Compared with dynamic hip screwing,intramedullary nailing has a limited effect on hip abduction so that the patients may benefit from quicker functional recovery and faster improvement in quality of life.
RESUMO
Objective To report the treatment of type A3 distal tibiofibular fractures with the fibular posterolateral approach and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO).Methods We reviewed 61 patients with type A3 distal tibiofibular fracture (observation group) who had been treated with MIPPO and the fibular posterolateral approach from June 2011 to May 2015.Our control group included 78 patients with type A3 distal tibiofibular fracture who had been treated by traditional open reduction and internal fixation from April 2009 to September 2013.Interval between injury and surgery,surgical time,intraoperative bleeding,hospital stay,postoperative complications,X-ray Lane-Sandhu osteotylus score and limb weight-bearing score one year after operation were compared between the 2 groups.Results All the 139 patients were followed up for more than one year.There were significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of interval between injury and surgery (8.0 ± 3.5 h versus 140.7 ± 52.4 h),surgical time (66.2 ± 7.2 min versus 92.1 ±6.6 min),intraoperative bleeding (59.8 ± 12.8 mL versus 209.5 ±50.4 mL),hospital stay (9.4 ± 1.9 d versus 26.1 ± 15.7 d),postoperative complications,X-ray Lane-Sandhu osteotylus score (3.9 ±0.2 points versus 3.0 ±0.6 points) and limb weight-bearing score (3.9 ±0.1 points versus 3.0 ±0.7 points) one year after operation,favoring the observation group(P < 0.001).Conclusions In the treatment of type A3 tibiofibular fractures,MIPPO plus the fibular posterolateral approach is superior to the traditional open reduction and internal fixation because it can benefit fracture healing by shortening the time for preoperative preparation,surgery and hospitalization,and decreasing the amount of intraoperative bleeding and the incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective To use SVV as a standard and observe the availability of IDVG in assess-ing volume status of perioperative esophageal cancer patients.Methods Thirty patients undergoing selective esophageal cancer surgery were enrolled.The values of SVV were obtained from Vigileo sys-tem after tracheal intubation.Baseline blood glucose was measured through radial artery,and then 5 g glucose (50% glucose solution 10 ml)was injected through right jugular vein in 30 s.Blood glucose levels in 1,3,5,60 mins after the injection were assassed via radial artery blood samples and IDVG3 (3 min post injection of glucose)was further calculated.The correlation between SVV and IDVG3 was studied using Pearson correlation analysis.Results There's no difference in blood glucose level CT0 and CT60 [(5.60±0.74)mmol/L vs (5.77 ± 0.76 )mmol/L].There was a negative correlation be-tween SVV and IDVG 3 mins after glucose injection (r =-0.79,P <0.001).Conclusion IDVG of 3 min post injection of glucose can predict fluid volume state in patients with esophageal cancer.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To prepare aspirin phospholipid complex (ASP-PC) and conduct the characterization. METHODS:Using the combination rate of ASP and PC as index,single factor test was used to screen the preparation method of ASP-PC,PC type,solvent type,reaction time,reaction temperature,solvent volume and drug-lipid ratio. The verification test was conducted. UV spectrophotometry,Thermogravimetric analysis,X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used for the characterization of ASP-PC. RESULTS:Magnetic stirring-condensing reflux method was adopted,drug-soybean phospholipids ratio was 1:3 (mol/mol),solvent was tetrahydrofuran,reacting for 3 h under 58 ℃. The average combination rate of prepared ASP-PC was 83.52%(RSD=1.16%,n=3). Compared with ASP,physical mixture of ASP and PC,UV spectrum showed that ASP-PC had no new absorption peak. Thermogravimetric analysis,X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed the ASP and PC in ASP-PC were interacted;and ASP-PC changed little in quality within 0-300 ℃. CONCLUSIONS:ASP-PC can be successfully prepared,in which,ASP and PC were combined successfully;while there are still trace amounts of ASP in the form of crystals.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics behaviors and the bioavailability of aspirin phospholipid complex self-microemulsion in rats in vivo. METHODS:12 SD rats were randomly divided into aspirin suspension group(10 mg/kg)and as-pirin phospholipid complex self-microemulsion group (10 mg/kg),6 in each group. Rats were intragastrically administrated,and blood sample 0.6 mL was taken from jugular vein before administration and after 0.083,0.25,0.5,0.75,1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,6.0, 8.0,12.0 h of administration. HPLC was used to determine the concentration of salicylic acid in rats'plasma. DAS 2.0 pharmacoki-netic software was adopted to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters and relative bioavailability. RESULTS:The pharmacokinetic processes of both aspirin suspension and aspirin phospholipid complex self-microemulsion were in line with one-compartment mod-el. The salicylic acid of cmax of rats in aspirin suspension group and aspirin phospholipid complex self-microemulsion group were (1.904 ± 0.208),(6.457 ± 1.091) μg/mL;AUC0-12 h were (12.860 ± 1.327),(47.270 ± 12.860) μg/(h·mL);tmax were (2.167 ± 0.983),(0.917±0.540)h,respectively. Compared with aspirin suspension,salicylic acid of cmax and AUC0-12 h of aspirin phospholip-id complex self-microemulsion in rats in vivo were significantly increased (P<0.01),while tmax was significantly decreased (P<0.05);the relative bioavailability was 367.57%.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Increasing evidence col ected from animal experiments or laboratories shows that bone mesenchymal stem cel s possess potent immunosuppression and anti-inflammation effects and cartilage regenerative capability. The microenvironment in human knee joint of osteoporosis is more complex and involves lots of bioactive factors and immunologic mechanisms. OBJECTIVE:The analyze the therapeutic effects of intra-articular injection of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on mild-to-moderate osteoporosis, and to investigate the mechanisms for anti-inflammation, immunoregulation and reversion of cartilage degradation. METHODS:About 15 mL bone marrow was aspired from 26 patients with mild-to-moderate osteoporosis and taken to the laboratory where bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were isolated and characterized in terms of some surface markers by a flow cytometer, and the ability of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was analyzed. The bilateral knees of each patient were divided into two groups at random. The experiment group were treated with autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s by intra-articular injection (2×107 cel s), while the control group injected the same volume of control medium without bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index was used to estimate the function of the knee joints before and after the treatment. We col ected the joint fluid before, 2 and 4 weeks post treatment, and then measured the production of interleukin-1, interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor-α, cartilage oligomeric matrix protein using ELISA. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:According to the standardized culture-expansion protocol, a sufficient number of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s (more than 2×107 passage 3 cel s) were obtained for intra-articular injection. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s isolated from patients were positive for CD105, CD29 and negative for CD45, CD34, and had the fair osteogenic and adipogenic capacities. The function of the knee joints was improved obviously after treatment. In the experimental group, the secretion of both interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-αand cartilage oligomeric matrix protein in the joint fluid was suppressed, while the interleukin-10 level was up-regulated compared to the control group. The results suggest that intra-articular injection of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s can exert good effect in mild-to-moderate osteoporosis patients. Furthermore, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s via intra-articular injection can function through anti-inflammation and reversion of degradation of the articular cartilage, which is a new promising approach for treating mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis.

RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of palonosetron in preventing chemotherapy-induced vomiting. Meth-ods:A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, and self-cross-over positively controlled clinical trial design was used. All patients were randomized into two groups, as follows:Regiment A (61 cases) and Regiment B (64 cases). Regimen A with palonosetron hydrochlo-ride injection (test agent) was used in the treatment cycle A, whereas granisetron hydrochloride injection (control drug) was used in the cycle B. Treatments were randomly administered on the patients of the two groups. Regimen B was on the contrary, the control drug was used in the cycle A, and the test agent was used in the treatment cycle B. All patients treated with the test agent were classified as the test group, whereas those treated with the control drug were classified as the control group. Complete control rate and adverse reac-tion of acute and delayed vomiting in the two groups during the two cycles of chemotherapy regimen were compared. Results: In Group One, the complete control rate of delayed vomiting was significantly higher in the palonosetron administration cycles than in the granisetron cycles (76.92%vs. 55.38%, P=0.0110). In the same group, the frequency of vomiting was significantly less in palonosetron cycles than in the granisetron cycles during day 1 to day 5 (1.32±3.42 vs. 1.94±3.03, P=0.0096). The incidences of adverse effects were low in both groups. No grades 3 and 4 adverse effects were observed. Conclusion: Palonosetron showed efficacy in preventing the acute and delayed chemotherapy-induced vomiting. The drug is superior to granisetron, specifically in delaying vomiting in Group One. Palonosetron hydrochloride showed slight adverse effects. Hence, this drug can be used in clinic.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Posterior lumbar interbody fusion is a typical therapeutic method of lumbar degenerative disease. Present studies suggested that adjacent segment degeneration occurs after fusion. Recently, more and more scholars paid attention to the development of non-fusion of the spine. <br> OBJECTIVE:To compare clinical effects of Dynesys dynamic stabilization system fixation and posterior lumbar interbody fusion in treatment of lumbar degenerative disease. <br> METHODS:From July 2009 to July 2011, clinical data of 56 patients with lumbar degenerative disease were retrospectively analyzed. There were 28 cases of Dynesys dynamic stabilization system fixation, and 28 cases of posterior lumbar interbody fusion. Operation time, bleeding volume, and postoperative hospitalization time were compared in both groups. Visual analog scale was used to assess pain. Oswestry disability index was utilized to evaluate clinical effects. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 56 patients were fol owed up for 18-24 months. Visual analog scale and Oswestry disability index scores were significantly improved at 12 months after treatment in both groups (P<0.01). Significant differences in operation time, bleeding volume, and postoperative hospitalization time were detected between both groups (P<0.01). Dynesys dynamic stabilization system group was better than posterior lumbar interbody fusion group. Range of motion was better in the Dynesys dynamic stabilization system group than in the posterior lumbar interbody fusion group (P<0.01). During fol ow-up, nail rope system and polyester sleeve loose were not detectable in the Dynesys dynamic stabilization system group. These results verified that compared with posterior lumbar interbody fusion, Dynesys dynamic stabilization system for lumbar degenerative diseases has a high safety and smal trauma, and can keep advantages of a fixed segment, and exert a certain effect on degeneration of intervertebral disc in the adjacent segment.

Objective To introduce the technique of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty,evaluate its preliminary clinical results and review the factors which affect the results.Methods From January 2006 to October 2010,104 patients (116 hips) with osteonecrosis of the femoral head,hip osteoarthritis,hip dyplasia,or ankylosing spondylitis were treated with the total hip resurfacing arthroplasty.Among them,59 patients (66 hips) were male,and 45 patients (50 hips) were female,with an average age of 39.7 years (range,16-67 years).Standard operation technique was performed for all patients with Conserve Plus prosthesis.Each patient was followed up at 1 month,3 months,6 months,1 year postoperatively.Results Three patients (4 hips) were lost,so 101 patients (112 hips) were followed up for an average period of 33 months (range,9-66 months).The average Harris hip score was improved significantly from 37.6±6.3 preoperatively to 91.3±5.3 at final follow-up; 104 hips were excellent,7 hips were good,1 hip was poor,and the excellent and good rate was 99.1%.At final follow-up,the average abduction angle of the acetabutar cup was 42.7°(range,36°-55°); the average femoral prothesis stem-shaft angle was 138.5° (range,132°-146°).Two patients presented with heterotopic ossification (Brook Ⅲ and Brook Ⅱ ).One patient presented with prothesis dislocation,which healed after being treated with manual reduction.There was no femoral neck fracture,infection,or prosthesis loosening.Conclusion With strict patient selection criteria and optimized technique,the short-term results of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty are satisfactory.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To discuss the choice of artificial thigh bone prosthetic material and curative effects of artificial thigh bone prosthesis for treating femur intertrochanteric comminuted fracture of senior patients.METHODS:We retrieved China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) in Chinese (1977/2009) and Medline database in English (1977/2009) with the key words of "femur intertrochanteric fracture;artificial femoral head arthroplasty;elderly patient".Totally 83 articles were retrieved,and 34 articles were included in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria.Literatures addressing artificial thigh bone prosthesis,intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients and artificial femoral head replacement in treatment of femur intertrochanteric fracture were summarized,and curative effect of artificial thigh bone prosthesis for treating intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients was explored.RESULTS:Artificial thigh bone prosthesis had been widely used in treatment of various femur intertrochantedc fractures.There are many types of artificial thigh bone prosthesis such as metal material,high polymer polyethylene,ceramic material and carbon material,which had obtained significant outcomes.Function of artificial thigh bone prosthesis was improved gradually,and became widely in clinic.Artificial thigh bone prosthesis has presently been an optimal method for treating femur intertrochanteric comminuted fracture in elderly patients.However,this method exist many problems that require to be solved such as high operation risk and many complications.CONCLUSION:There are many materials for choosing artificial thigh bone prosthesis,with various advantages and disadvantages.Presently,complex artificial thigh bone prosthesis is commonly used in clinic.Artificial thigh bone prosthesis is an ideal method to treat femur intertrochanteric comminuted fracture of elderly patients.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the prevention and management strategies of in-hospital complications in the hip replacement in elderly patients(≥80 years old) Methods The data of 42elderly patients with hip replacement between Oct.2004 and Dec.2006 were collected and analyzed.Their age ranged from 80 to 96 years with an average of 84.6 years.Twenty-four cases were associated with severe osteoporosis(Dorr Ⅲ),13 with coronary heard disease,10 with arrhythmia,7with diabetes,5 with cerebral paralysis.Twenty five cases had a cemented stem bipolar femoral head replacement,2 had uncemented stem bipolar femoral head replacement,7 had cemented total hip replacement,3 had revision of total hip replacement. Results No death occurred during operations,1 died postoperatively due to dislocation at the 5th day postoperation.One case had coma for 1 week after general anaesthesia.5 had temporary cognitive handicap,38(90.5%)were able to walk at the aid of walker with easement of pain before discharging. Conclusions To gain good results in elderly patients with hip arthroplasty,less invasive and quick anaesthetic technique and operative procedures are encouraged.Meticulous preoperative preparation.active preventing and treating the intraoperative and postoperative complications should be emphasized.
