RESUMO
Circular RNAs are newly identified RNAs that regulate gene expression and execute various biological activities. Facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA) is a severe facet joint cartilage degeneration disease that induces chronic low back pain to a larger population. The molecular mechanisms of FJOA, especially the presence and changes of circular RNAs in FJOA have not been investigated. In the current study, we analyzed RNA deep sequencing outcomes from healthy control group and FJOA group, identified and annotated circular RNAs, and determined the expressions of circular RNAs. Differentially expressed circular RNAs in the FJOA group were then screened and the host genes of these differentially expressed circular RNAs were functional analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Enrichment of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and protein-protein interaction network analysis. Seven circRNAs were arbitrarily selected to confirm the trustworthiness of these profiles by quantitative qRT-PCR. The potential binding sites of microRNAs (miRNAs) and identified circular RNAs were also predicted. Our current study provided valuable bioinformation regarding circular RNAs in FJOA and expanded our knowledge of FJOA.

First messengers and viral transfection are the two most common ways to stimulate cells for signal output, although their applications are limited. We investigated mechanisms of inducing neural stem cell differentiation using recombinant ephrin-B2/Fc and found that it acted as a ligand and inhibited endogenous ephrin-B2, which maintenance of the neural progenitor cell state, by direct interference. Our results showed the movement of ephrin-B2/Fc within the cell and indicated that it recycled to the plasma membrane surface, revealing a possible pattern of ephrin trafficking. Our results also serve as proof of concept for the reconstruction of the intracellular domain of ephrin using an artificial receptor to direct input signals in future studies.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebral-disc plasty (PVDP) in the treatment of very severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (vsOVCF).Methods:A total of 26 patients with vsOVCF were treated by PVDP at Department of Spine Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Nantong University from November 2019 to August 2021. They were 8 males and 18 females with an age of (77.9±5.2) years. Fracture sites: T11 in 9 cases, T12 in 13 cases, L1 in 7 cases, and L2 in 2 cases. The loss of vertebral height exceeded 2/3 of its original height. The curative effects were evaluated by comparing the visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI) and local kyphosis angle (LKA) at preoperation, 1 day postoperation and the last follow-up.Results:This cohort was followed up for 12(10, 15) months. No obvious neurological damage or other serious complications occurred. The VAS scores [(2.9±0.7) and (2.2±0.7) points] and ODIs [28.0%±4.8% and 16.9%±4.0%] at 1 day postoperation and the final follow-up were significantly lower than the preoperative values respectively [(6.7±0.8) points and 66.7%±6.0%], and the values at the last follow-up were significantly lower than those at 1 day postoperation ( P<0.05). The LKAs at 1 day postoperation and the last follow-up (18.1°±4.1° and 19.5°±4.4°) were significantly smaller than that before operation (32.0°±5.2°) ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between 1 day postoperation and the last follow-up in LKA ( P>0.05). Conclusion:PVDP is an effective surgical treatment of vsOVCF, because it can relieve pain and improve local kyphosis with satisfactory clinical outcomes.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the application effect of case-based learning (CBL), teaching mode combined with 3D printing in clinical teaching of sacral tumors.Methods:A total of 108 undergraduate interns and standardized residency training students who studied in our hospital from 2017 to 2018 were divided into the CBL teaching group ( n = 53) and the CBL combined with 3D printing teaching group ( n = 55) according to their study time. The combined teaching group used computer tomography (CT) data to reconstruct and print out a 3D model of sacral tumors based on CBL, and performed preoperative teaching on the invasion of the surrounding tissues of the tumor. The scores of the students in the two groups were evaluated respectively, and the students were surveyed by self-identification questionnaire (learning interest, self-learning ability, teamwork ability, comprehensive analysis ability and clinical thinking ability). The t-test (one-sided) was used for comparison between groups using stata 14.0. Results:The score of CBL teaching group (75.90±6.70) was lower than that of CBL combined with 3D printing teaching group (83.60±7.40). In terms of critical thinking ability evaluation, self-learning ability, learning interest, comprehensive analysis ability and clinical thinking ability, the CBL combined 3D printing teaching group was superior to the CBL teaching group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). In terms of teamwork ability, there was no statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion:The CBL teaching mode combined with 3D printing can improve academic performance, students' learning interest and clinical thinking ability of sacral tumors in the teaching of undergraduate interns and standardized residency training students.
RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the effect of spine-pelvis sagittal parameters and sagittal orientation of facet joint on degeneration of cranial L 3,4 facet joint (facet joint degeneration, FJD) after L 4-S 1 posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). Methods:Patients with lumbar degenerative diseases who underwent L 4-S 1 PLIF from January 2012 to December 2016 were retrospectively investigated, there were 54 cases, including 28 males and 26 females. Age: 54.59±5.48 years (range, 45-60 years). X-ray, CT, MRI and Weishuapt grade was used to evaluate the degeneration of L 3,4 facet joint at the cranial adjacent segment. The general information and the sagittal parameters of spine pelvis at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups. The former included age, gender, body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), follow-up time and preoperative diagnosis. The latter included lower lumbar lordosis angle (LLL), lumbar lordosis angle (LL), pelvis incidence (PI), pelvis tilt (PT), sacrum slope (SS), the height of the intervertebral space (HD), the angle of cranial facet joint, Oswestry disability index (ODI), Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) lumbar function score and improvement rate were compared at the same time. Independent sample t-test was used to compare continuous variables between groups; comparison of categorical variable components χ 2 test or Fisher's exact test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to predict the risk factors of adjacent FJD. Results:Postoperative follow-up was 33.44±6.85 months (range, 24-36 months), there were 17 patients in the degenerative group and 37 patients in the non degenerative group. There were no significant differences in age, gender, BMI, BMD, follow-up time or preoperative diagnosis between the two groups. LLL, LL and SS also showed no significant difference. At the last follow-up, PI (56.28°±6.03° vs. 47.87°±8.30°, t=3.74, P=0.001), PT (17.90°±7.06° vs. 14.41°±5.51°, t=1.97, P=0.042) and the joint angle of the cephalic facet (58.48°±2.00° vs. 54.69°±3.01°, t=4.72, P=0.072) in the degenerative group were greater than those in the non-degenerative group. In the subgroup analysis of lumbar lordosis distribution, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2=9.90, P=0.006). The HD in the degenerative group 7.50±3.60 mm was significantly lower than that in the non degenerative group 9.30±2.79 mm ( t=2.00, P=0.031). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that increase of PI ( OR=1.22, P=0.005) and magnified cephalic facet joint angle ( OR=2.04, P=0.008) were risk factors for adjacent segment facet degeneration. At the last follow-up, the ODI improvement rate in the degenerative group (58.14%±13.41% vs. 70.18%±8.03%, t=4.11, P<0.001) and the JOA score improvement rate (44.72%±9.53% vs. 68.86%±8.55%, t=0.43, P=0.001) were lower than those in the non degenerative group. Conclusion:The increase of PI and sagittal facet (increased joint angle of proximal facet) are risk factors of adjacent segment FJD after lumbar fusion; The abnormal distribution of lower lumbar lordosis and poor PT recovery in adjacent segment FJD patients after lumbar fusion are more obvious, which may be related to the increase of PI; After lumbar fusion, the orientation of adjacent facet joint tended to be sagittal.
RESUMO
Osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly will seriously reduce their quality of life and life expectancy. For osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, spinal reconstruction is necessary, which should comprehensively consider factors such as the physical condition, fracture type, clinical characteristics and osteoporosis degree. While there lacks relevant clinical norms or guidelines on selection of spinal reconstruction strategies. In order to standardize the concept of spinal reconstruction for osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, based on the principles of scientificity, practicality and progressiveness, the authors formulated the Clinical guideline for spinal reconstruction of osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in elderly patients ( version 2022), in which suggestions based on evidence of evidence-based medicine were put forward upon 10 important issues related to the fracture classification, non-operative treatment strategies and surgical treatment strategies in spinal reconstruction after osteoporosis thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, hoping to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) monitoring for prevention of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in lower extremity of patients undergoing spinal surgery.Methods:A total of 120 patients of both sexes, aged 40-70 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status ⅠorⅡ, without impairment of coagulation function, undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion, were selected and divided into 3 groups ( n=40 each) using the random number table method and envelope method: basic preventive measure group (group A), compression stocking group (group B) and SEP monitoring group (group C). In group B, elastic stockings were worn at 1 h before surgery.SEP monitoring was performed during surgery, and the intensity of current stimulation was 25 mA in group C. The flow velocity of popliteal vein in both lower extremities was measured using color Doppler ultrasound apparatus during surgery.Venous blood samples were taken to measure plasma D-dimer concentrations at 1 day before surgery, at the end of surgery and at 24 h after surgery.The DVT developed in lower extremities was diagnosed by ultrasound method during surgery and within 24 h after surgery. Results:Compared with A and B groups, the blood flow velocity of popliteal vein was significantly increased, and the plasma D-dimer concentration and incidence of DVT developed in lower extremity during surgery were decreased in group C ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SEP monitoring can effectively prevent the occurrence of DVT in lower extremity while it is used as an electrophysiological monitoring of the spinal cord in patients undergoing spinal surgery.

RESUMO
Objective To explore the gender differences in the association between iron metabolism and bone turnover markers in elderly patients with fragility fracture.Methods A total of 271 patients admitted in our hospital from Aug 2014 to Oct 2017 with osteoporotic fractures were divided into two groups:109 males and 162 females,aged from 60 to 92 years.Both groups were further divided into 3 age groups(60 to 70,71 to 80,and ≥81 year group).Biochemical indicators,serum ferritin and bone turnover markers were detected eight hours after admission.Results In the male group,there were no statistical differences in serum ferritin and serum procollagen type Ⅰ Nterminal propeptide(PINP) among age groups (all P > 0.05).Serum β-carboxy terminal telopeptide of collagen type Ⅰβ-CTX(β-CTX)was elevated with ageing.In the female group,serum ferritin,PINP,and β-CTX were elevated with ageing.There was a significant positive correlation between serum ferritin and β-CTX in two gender groups (all P < 0.05)without gender difference.Gender difference was observed in the correlation between serum ferritin and PINP between two gender groups:a significant positive correlation in the female group (r =0.255,P =0.001)whereas a significant negative correlation in the male group(r=-0.207,P=0.031).Conclusions There are gender differences in correlations of serum ferritin with bone turnover markers.Increased iron accumulation in postmenopausal women is closely correlated with high bone turnover rate.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of L-ascorbic acid(AA) for reducing the fibroblast cells induced by cobalt(co)cytotoxicity.Methods The experiment was divided into the blank control group,Co2+ group,Co2++AA group,cobalt nanoparticles(CoNPs) group,CoNPs+AA group and AA group.The AA pretreated for 1 h was performed in advance.The CCK8 assay was used to detect the CoNPs and Co2+ induced and AA-treated cytotoxicity.The fluorescence staining was used to measure the production of ROS in mitochondria.The real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and Western blot were used to measure the expression of related protein and related molecular mRNA respectively.Moreover the cytochrome-C level in cytoplasml was detected.Results After treating the cells by CoNPs and Co2+,the cells appeared apoptosis.CoNPs could significantly induce ROS generation;the proapoptotic factors(caspases-3,and Bax) were significantly increased,while the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 expression was decreased;cytochrome C and AIF expressions were up-regulated and released from mitochondria into the cytoplasm,after AA pretreatment,these changes caused by CoNPs were decreased.Conclusion AA can reduce the CoNPs caused cytotoxicity by reducing ROS generation and release,but can not weaken the Co2+ toxic effect.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effect of a new type of fixation tape for tracheal catheter in intensive care patients.Methods A purposive sampling study was conducted. Ninety patients experienced oral tracheal intubation for mechanical ventilation, and admitted to respiratory intensive care unit (ICU) of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from November 2015 to February 2017 were enrolled. All the patients were randomly (random number) divided into the control group and the observation group with 45 patients in each group. The patients in control group was treated with the traditional medical adhesive tape and fixation belt to fix endotracheal tube, while the patients in observation group was treated with a new type of tracheal catheter fixation tape. The fixation effect, skin complication rate, patient's comfort level, nursing workload and satisfaction were evaluated in both groups.Results There were 6 patients with mild displacement, 2 patients with moderate displacement and 1 patient with severe displacement in the control group, while there was no catheter displacement or detachment occurred in the observation group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2 = 2.944,P = 0.003). In the control group, there were 39 patients with facial skin redness,6 patients with facial skin damage, 36 patients with neck skin redness, and 2 patients with neck skin damage. In the observation group, there were no facial skin complications and only 2 patients with neck skin redness, and the skin complication rate was significantly higher than that of the control group (facial skin:Z = 9.173,P = 0.000; neck skin:Z = 7.549,P = 0.000). Compared with the control group, the patients' comfort levels were significantly elevated in the observation group (the intolerance patients: 9 vs. 24, the extreme discomfort patients: 4 vs. 8,Z = 3.695,P = 0.000). The total changing times of the fixation belt and operating time for each change in the observation group were significantly decreased as compared with those of control group [changing times of the fixation belt (times): 1.89±0.77 vs. 3.86±1.18, operating time for each change (minutes): 10.31±1.47 vs. 15.78±1.89, bothP < 0.01]. Nursing satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (100% vs. 33.3%,P < 0.01).Conclusions The new fixation tape for tracheal catheter could significantly reduce the catheter displacement and detachment rate, and decreasethe incidence of facial skin injury. It is easy to learn and worth to generalize clinically.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Recently, periprosthetic femoral fractures have been a common complication after total hip replacement. Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures commonly received internal fixation due to stable femoral prosthesis and less bone defects. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of the application of Synthes cable system in the treatment of Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures after total hip replacement. METHODS:From May 2009 to October 2012, 18 patients with Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures were treated with Synthes cable system in the Department of Orthopedics, Nantong First People’s Hospital. There were 8 males and 10 females with an average age of (62.67±8.67) years ranging 45 to 80 years. They received a further consultation at 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment. The function of hip joint was evaluated by Harrris evaluation standard:ful marks, 100 points, ≥ 90 points, excellent;80-89 points, better;70-79 points, good; RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al 18 patients were fol owed up for 6 to 43 months. Mean healing period was (19.06±4.04) weeks. Harris score was (22.3±3.6) points before treatment in 18 cases. Harris score was higher significantly at 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment compared with that before treatment (P<0.01), and the recovery of hip function was good. Results indicated that Synthes cable system could help to restore the normal anatomic structure of femur in the greatest extent, showing simple operation, little injury, high stability and high safety. It is an ideal method for treating Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Serious patel ar comminuted fractures can be treated by a number of methods such as cerclage with tension band steel wire or steel wire, or fixation with the nickel titanium patel a concentrator and absorption lines, or cerclage with 10# double-loop wire plus fixation with split-type patel a claws or with the memory al oy patel a concentrator. But it is difficult to achieve strongly fixed effect on patel a fractures by these methods. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effects of suture with polyester braided wire and cerclage with belt lock cable on serious comminuted patel ar fractures. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 57 patients with serious comminuted patel ar fractures who received suture with polyester braided wire and cerclage with belt lock cable from January 2007 to October 2012. According to AO classification of fractures, there were nine cases of type B3, 22 cases of type C2 and 26 cases of type C3. After satisfactory reduction of comminuted patel ar fractures during the operation, firstly we sewed up both sides of the expansion region of quadriceps muscle and stitched on periosteum and prepatel ar tissue with thick polyester braided wire fol owed by patel ar cerclage with belt lock cable. According to the stability of fracture blocks, tension band fixation with polyester braided wire was partial y added. After the operation, the clinical effects were assessed based on the Bostman score system. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Total y 46 out of 57 cases were fol owed up with an average of 8 months (4-18 months). Al patients obtained bone union within 3-5 months. Wounds healed in the first stage without any infections, and fractures in al patients healed without complications such as implant loosening and skin irritation. According to the Bostman score system, 33 cases were scored excellent, 10 good and three fair. The excellent and good rate was 93.5%. It suggests that treatment of serious patel ar comminuted fracture by the combination of polyester braided wire and belt lock cable leads to closely contact fracture sites and reliably fix bone fragments. It can facilitate early postoperative range of motion exercises.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:The effects of artificial joint replacement, osteotomy and reconstruction in the treatment of Crown Ⅳ-type congenital dislocation of hip in adult are not very satisfied. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of artificial total hip arthroplasty and hip-self procedure in the treatment of Crown Ⅳ-type congenital dislocation of hip in adult patients. METHODS:Twenty-three adult patients with Crown Ⅳ-type congenital dislocation of hip were treated with artificial total hip arthroplasty and hip-self procedure. There were 2 males and 21 females with an average age of (24.26±3.56) years ranging 20 to 35 years. The effect was evaluated according to the Harrris evaluation standard, and the statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of the patients were fol owed-up for 12-60 months, averaged of (26.60±13.16) months. Statistical comparison with the SPSS 19.0 system showed there was significant difference of the Harrris scores between preoperation and postoperation period (P<0.05). The artificial total hip arthroplasty and hip-self procedure can be used to reconstruct the normal function of hip joint, relieve pain and increase the joint stability, which is considered as the best method for the treatment of Crown Ⅳ-type congenital dislocation of hip in adult.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that composite scaffold of chitosan and poly-L-lactic acid has good biocompatibility with some cells. OBJECTIVE:To study the biocompatibility of poly-L-lactic acid reinforced by chitosan and olfactory ensheathing cells. METHODS:In experimental group, olfactory ensheathing cells from Sprague-Dawley rats aged 1-3 days were incubated onto chitosan-reinforced poly-L-lactic acid film. And in control group, olfactory ensheathing cells were co-cultured with poly-L-lysine. The proliferative ability of olfactory ensheathing cells was detected and the cells were observed with immunofluorescence histochemical staining at 1, 3, 5, 7 days after culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Olfactory ensheathing cells could survive on the chitosan-reinforced poly-L-lactic acid film, and the cytotoxic grade wasⅠ. Morphology of the cells in the experimental group was round or oval, with little processes and the cells aggregated into groups. One day after implantation, the periphery cells of the mass extended short projections and gradual y spread outward;3 days after implantation, the cells spread and most of the cells generated projections, most of which were bipolar or tri-polar;5 days after implantation, cel processes significantly extended, most cells were bipolar and tri-polar cells, while some were oval cells and irregular triangular cells;7 days after implantation, the cel density increased, and cel processes extended. Cel morphology of the control group had similar characteristics as the experimental group. There was no obvious difference between the control and the experimental group in number, perimeter or area of the cells (P>0.05). It showed that chitosan-reinforced poly-L-lactic acid had good biocompatibility with olfactory ensheathing cells.

RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of epidural injection with different dose of butorphanol on the rats' neurological function.Methods A PE-530 catheter was inserted into the epidural space of all the SpragueDawley rats (male, weighting 180 ~210 g) at L1-2 level.After three days, a total of 32 rats without any motor dysfunction were randomly divided into 4 groups as follows saline(NS) group (group C, n= 8 )and butorphanol injection (B) group( B1∶ n=8;B2∶ n=8;B3∶ n=8).Rats in group C were epidurally injected NS 30 μl each ,and rats in group B1, B2 and B3 were respectively epidurally injected Butorphanol 60 μg/30μl, 120 μg/30 μl,240 μg/30 μl (all diluted with NS) ,and 1 time per day for5 days.The neurological function of rats was recorded before injection (T0) and 6h after injection on day 1 ~4(T1 ~T 4) and 6h,24h and 72h after injection on day 5 (T5 ~T7) by BBB (BASSO,BEATTIE and BRESNAHAN ) Score and the inclined plane test .Results Compared with group C ,the BBB score and the inclined plane test of group B1 showed no significant difference throughout the experimental period(P> 0.05 ).There was also no significant difference at T0 ~ T3 of group B2 and group B3 compared with group C (P > 0.05 ), while at T4, the BBB score ( ( 18.50 ± 2.00 ) points, ( 16.38 ± 2.33 ) points) and the inclined plane test( (58.75 ± 5.17 )°, (59.38 ± 3.20) ° ) of the two groups were both obviously decreased when compared with group C( (21.00 ±0.00) points, (65.00 ±3.78)°, P<0.05) ,and the same significant differences appeared at T5,T6 and T7 (P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Repeated epidural injection of butorphanol 60 μg have no effect on neurological function of rats,while repeated epidural injection of butorphanol 120 μg and 240 μg could impaire the neurological function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of patient-controlled epidural analgesia(PCEA) with opioids on serous myelin basic protein(MBP) and somatosensory evoked potential(SEP) of lower limbs in puerperants.MethodsA total of 120 puerperants,after receiving cesarean section,were divided into four groups by random number table method as group B,BR,MR and R randomly,and each group included 30 cases.After surgery,each case received PCEA:group B received 0.008% butrophanol;group BR received 0.008% butrophanol + 0.2% ropivacaine;group MR received 0.004% morphine +0.2% ropivacaine and group R received 0.2% ropivacaine only.VAS score,OAA/S score,adverse effect occurrence,concentration changes of serous MBP,SEP of both lower limbs and neurological function were observed at 2h(T1 ),4h(T2),8 h(T3),12h(T4),24 h(T5) and 48h (T6) after surgery.ResultsVASscoresofgroupBR(1.64±0.38,1.86±0.62,1.93±0.67) and MR( 1.74 ±0.39,1.91±0.58,1.98 ±0.63) at T3,T4,T5 were lower than those of group B(4.6 ±0.5,4.6 ±0.3,4.7 ±0.3)and R(2.64 ±0.41,2.83 ±0.91,3.37 ±0.87) (P<0.05).There was no significance in four groups in OAA/S score at each point (P > 0.05 ).Incidence of nausea ( 6 cases),vomiting ( 2 cases) and abdominal distention ( 5cases) of group M was higher than that of other three groups(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in concentrations of serous MBP,SEP and neurological function in all four groups between preoperative time and 48h after operation(P>0.05).ConclusionLower-dose and lower- concentration opioids used for PCEA have no influence on serum MBP and SEP.
