RESUMO
The research results are inconsistent that assessing whether the increased obliquity of the distal articular surface of the medial cuneiform leads to an increase in hallux valgus angle. Thus, this study investigated the relationship between distal medial cuneiform obliquity and hallux valgus by measuring various angles in weightbearing anteroposterior radiographs of the foot. In total, 679 feet of 538 patients with the radiographs were included in the study. We measured radiographic parameters including hallux valgus angle, first to second intermetatarsal angle, metatarsus adductus angle, first metatarsus cuneiform angle, distal medial cuneiform angle, and first proximal metatarsal articular angle. The surface morphology (flat or curved) of the first tarsometatarsal joint was also recorded. Our results analysis revealed a weak negative correlation between distal medial cuneiform angle and both hallux valgus angle and first to second intermetatarsal angle, contrary to our assumption. So we believe that distal medial cuneiform angle was relatively constant and it cannot be used as a characteristic angle for quantifying hallux valgus. First metatarsus cuneiform angle was a characteristic indicator of hallux valgus and was positively correlated with its severity (p < .000), indicating that it can be used to measure the size of hallux valgus. It can also be used as a reference factor for the first metatarsal osteotomy in clinical bunion orthopedics. First tarsometatarsal joint morphology was unrelated to hallux valgus, whereas metatarsus adductus angle, and first proximal metatarsal articular angle should be considered in hallux valgus.

BACKGROUND: For periacetabular osteotomy, traditional approaches usually have a long learning curve. We aimed to evaluate the postoperative results and complications of periacetabular osteotomy under a new double-incision approach. METHODS: The records of 58 consecutive patients (65 hips) who underwent periacetabular osteotomy using the new approach were retrospectively reviewed and evaluated. There were 52 women and 6 men with a mean age of 28.1 years at the time of surgery. RESULTS: The average follow-up period was 35.2 months, during which no patients were converted to total hip arthroplasty. Complications included 6 hips (9.2%) with nerve dysesthesias and 1 hip (1.5%) with delayed wound healing. The mean operative time and intraoperative blood loss were 88.6 min and 402.8 ml, respectively. The mean modified Harris hip score had improved from 72.2 points preoperatively to 91.3 points at the last follow-up. Fifty-five patients (62 hips, 95.4%) were satisfied to their outcomes, and good preoperative functional score was associated with a satisfactory outcome. Furthermore, the average lateral center-edge angle, anterior center-edge angle and acetabular index angle were corrected well after surgery. CONCLUSION: Periacetabular osteotomy using modified Smith-Petersen or Bikini approach with posterolateral assisted small incision can be performed safely and with satisfactory results. In addition, this technique shortens the learning curve, and reduces the operating complexity, especially for beginner.

Scaphoid fracture is the most common carpal fracture, accounting for 50%-80% of all carpal fractures in the Youngers and manual workers. The nonunion rate of scaphoid fractures was approximately 10-15%. Scaphoid nonunion can lead to wrist deformity, wrist collapse, ischemic necrosis, and traumatic osteoarthritis resulting in the loss of wrist function and seriously influence the patients' lives. Achieving bony union is essential for the treatment of scaphoid nonunion. Although many surgical procedures including various forms of bone grafting have been developed to improve bony union, there is no conclusion about which method is the most effective and optimal. In this review, we provide an overview of the diagnostic, classification and progress in the treatments of scaphoid nonunion fractures.

BACKGROUND: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common cause of childhood disability, and the incidence of DDH shows significant familial aggregation. As the genetic factors of DDH remain unknown, the correlation between five candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and DDH was evaluated in the Han Chinese population of Southwest China. METHODS: A caseâcontrol association study was conducted in 276 patients with DDH and 318 healthy controls. SNP genotyping in the case and control groups was performed by SNPshot and multiple PCR. SNPs were genotyped in the case and control groups by multiplex PCR. The relationship between DDH and candidate SNPs was evaluated using the χ2 test. RESULTS: The genotype distributions of rs291412 in HIBCH and rs769956 in FTCDNL1 were different between the case and control groups (P < 0.05). After genetic model analysis, logistic regression analysis revealed that the C allele of rs291412 had a protective effect on DDH (OR = 0.605, P = 0.010) and that the G allele of rs769956 was a risk factor (OR = 2.939, P = 0.010).s. CONCLUSION: These SNPs could be associated with susceptibility to DDH but larger population-based studies should confirm the current results.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between hallux valgus and the indicators associated with medial cuneiform obliquity measured on feet weight-bearing anteroposterior X-ray films. METHODS: Based on the feet weight-bearing anteroposterior X-ray films taken between January 2018 and February 2021 and met the criteria, the hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), metatarsus adductus angle (MAA), metatarsus cuneiform angle (MCA), distal medial cuneiform angle (DMCA), and proximal metatarsal articular angle (PMAA) were measured and the morphology of the first tarsometatarsal (TMT) were recorded. According to the HVA, the X-ray films were divided into normal group (HVA<15°) and hallux valgus group (HVA≥15°). The gender, age, sides, IMA, MAA, MCA, DMCA, PMAA, and the morphology of TMT were compared between groups. The influencing factors of HVA and IMA were analyzed by multivariate linear regression analysis. RESULTS: X-ray films of 534 patients (679 feet) met the selection criteria and were included in the study. There were 220 males and 314 females, with an average age of 36 years (mean, 18-82 years). There were 154 cases (168 feet) in the normal group and 403 cases (511 feet) in the hallux valgus group. There were significant differences in gender and age between groups ( P<0.05), and no significant difference in the side ( P>0.05). The IMA, MAA, and MCA in the hallux valgus group were significantly bigger than those in the normal group ( P<0.05); the difference in DMCA between the two groups was not significant ( P>0.05). The TMT morphology of the two groups was mainly curved, and the difference in morphology classification was not significant ( P>0.05). PMAA measurement showed that there were 3 kinds of metatarsal shapes: adductive metatarsal, neutral metatarsal, and abductive metatarsal, the difference in metatarsal shapes between groups was not significant ( P>0.05). The PMAA of abductive metatarsal was significantly bigger in normal group than in hallux valgus group ( P<0.05), there was no significant difference in PMAA of adductive metatarsal between groups ( P>0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age, MCA, and DMCA were the influencing factors of HVA ( P<0.05), and age, MAA, MCA, and DMCA were the influencing factors of IMA ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The medial cuneiform obliquity is relatively constant and the DMCA can not be used as the characteristic angle to quantify hallux valgus. The morphology of TMT has no relationship with hallux valgus, while MAA, MCA, and PMAA are all factors to be considered, and MCA can be used as the characteristic angle to quantify hallux valgus.

AIMS: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a complex musculoskeletal disease that occurs mostly in children. This study aimed to investigate the molecular changes in the hip joint capsule of patients with DDH. METHODS: High-throughput sequencing was used to identify genes that were differentially expressed in hip joint capsules between healthy controls and DDH patients. Biological assays including cell cycle, viability, apoptosis, immunofluorescence, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and western blotting were performed to determine the roles of the differentially expressed genes in DDH pathology. RESULTS: More than 1,000 genes were differentially expressed in hip joint capsules between healthy controls and DDH. Both gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses revealed that extracellular matrix (ECM) modifications, muscle system processes, and cell proliferation were markedly influenced by the differentially expressed genes. Expression of Collagen Type I Alpha 1 Chain (COL1A1), COL3A1, matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1), MMP3, MMP9, and MMP13 was downregulated in DDH, with the loss of collagen fibres in the joint capsule. Expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-ß1) was downregulated, while that of TGF-ß2, Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (SMAD3), and WNT11 were upregulated in DDH, and alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA), a key myofibroblast marker, showed marginal increase. In vitro studies showed that fibroblast proliferation was suppressed in DDH, which was associated with cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 and G2/M phases. Cell cycle regulators including Cyclin B1 (CCNB1), Cyclin E2 (CCNE2), Cyclin A2 (CCNA2), Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), E2F1, cell division cycle 6 (CDC6), and CDC7 were downregulated in DDH. CONCLUSION: DDH is associated with the loss of collagen fibres and fibroblasts, which may cause loose joint capsule formation. However, the degree of differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts needs further study. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2021;10(9):558-570.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To explore the possibility and mechanism of targeted blocking SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway using three antagonists TN14003, T140, and AMD3100 in vivo, and to investigate the function of three antagonists in delay degeneration process of articular cartilage. METHODS: Ninety-six male Duncan-Hartley guinea pigs (6 months old) were divided into groups A, B, C, and D randomly. Alzet trace pump was implanted in the back subcutaneous tissue of pigs in group A, and TN14003 with concentration of 180 µg/ml was pumped every day. Alzet trace pump was implanted in the back subcutaneous tissue of pigs in group B, and T140 with concentration of 180 µg/ml was pumped every day. Alzet trace pump was implanted in the back subcutaneous tissue of pigs in group C, and AMD3100 with concentration of 180 µg/ml was pumped every day. Hartley guinea pigs in group D remained untreated as the blank control group. At 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks of treatment, 5 to 8 animals in each group were randomly chosen for blood collection via cardiac puncture. SDF-1 content using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). At 12 weeks, all guinea pigs were sacrificed by injecting pentobarbital sodium (30 mg/kg) into the peritoneal cavity. Cartilages from the tibial plateau in each group were harvested for PCR testing and western blot analysis. SPSS19.0 was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Result of ELISA: the serum levels of SDF-1 of groups A, B, and C decreased gradually with time. Significant drop of SDF-1 level was seen in group A while increased SDF-1 was shown in group D. At the same time, the serum levels of SDF-1 of the group A were significantly lower than that of group B; those of group B were significantly lower than that of group C, which was significantly lower than that of group D, and their difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05). Real time quantitative PCR result: The mRNA levels of MMPs in group A were significantly lower than group B, and those of group B were significantly lower than group C, which was significantly lower than group D, and there was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The mRNA levels of type II collagen, aggrecan in group A were significantly more than group B; those of group B were significantly more than group C, which was significantly more than group D, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). H&E staining result: cartilage of group C was more significantly degenerative than other groups. CONCLUSIONS: The three antagonists can target SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway in vivo, reduce the expression and secretion of MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13 in cartilage tissue, and reduce the degradation of collagen II and aggregating proteoglycan, thus delaying the degeneration of articular cartilage, of which TN14003 has the strongest regulatory effect. Targeted blockade of SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway by TN14003 in vivo delays articular cartilage degeneration more effectively than T140 and AMD3100.

Objective: To investigate the short-term effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) assisted by three-dimensional (3D) printing osteotomy navigation template. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 60 patients with osteoarthritis bewteen January 2016 and June 2017. Thirty cases underwent TKA assisted by 3D printing osteotomy navigation template (3D printing group) and 30 cases underwent the conventional TKA (conventional TKA group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, surgical side, and disease duration between 2 groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, the pre- and post-operative hemoglobin values, the amount of drainage, the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score and Knee Society Score (KSS) of knee joint before operation and at 3 months after operation were observed. And 6 freedom degrees of knee (the varus and valgus angle, the internal and external rotation angle, the antero-posterior displacement, the proximal-distal displacement, the flexion and extension angle, and the internal and external displacement) before operation and at 3 months after operation were recorded by Opti-Knee (the knee 3D motion analysis system). The values of 2 groups were compared with 30 healthy adults (<60 years). Results: The operation time was shorter in 3D printing group than that in conventional TKA group ( t=5.833ï¼ P=0.000). The hemoglobin values at 1 and 3 days after operation were higher in 3D printing group than those in conventional TKA group ( P<0.05). The amount of drainage was less in 3D printing group than that in conventional TKA group ( t=5.468ï¼ P=0.000). All patients were followed up 6-9 months (mean, 7.3 months). There was no significant difference in pre- and post-operative HSS score and KSS clinical score between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in preoperative KSS function score between 2 groups ( P>0.05), but the KSS function score of 3D printing group at 3 months after operation was higher than that of conventional TKA group ( P<0.05). Before operation, the varus and valgus angle, the internal and external rotation angle, the antero-posterior displacement, the proximal-distal displacement of 3D printing group and conventional TKA group were larger than that of the healthy adults ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the flexion and extension angle and the internal and external displacement between 2 groups and healthy adults ( P>0.05). At 3 months after operation, compared with healthy adults, the varus and valgus angle of conventional TKA group was increased, the flexion and extension angle of conventional TKA group was decreased ( P<0.05); the proximal-distal displacement and the internal and external displacement of 2 groups were decreased ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in other freedom degrees between groups ( P>0.05). No sign of prosthesis loosening was observed by X-ray examination. Conclusion: Compared with the traditional TKA, TKA assisted by the 3D printing osteotomy navigation template had such advantages as shorter operation time, less postoperative blood loss, and well postoperative recovery.

Objective: To summarize the molecular biological research progress of non-coding RNAs modulating osteoarthritis (OA), and provide a reference basis for biological study and clinical treatment of OA. Methods: Recent domestic and foreign related literature about the regulation of OA pathological process by non-coding RNAs was widely reviewed. Results: Non-coding RNAs can be divided into three types based on the length of RNA. A lot of non-coding RNAs participating in OA pathological process are screened out by high throughput sequencing technology and microarray technology, and it is verified that these non-coding RNAs involve in the regulation of OA by RT-PCR. The mechanism of OA mediated target is clarified by knocking-down and overexpressing of the most prominent expressed non-coding RNAs in OA. There are the complicated gene expressed network topology in non-coding RNAs, and between non-coding RNAs and coding RNAs. It provides a basis for clearing the effect of gene structure and function, and finding the definite therapeutic target of OA. Conclusion: There is preliminary study on molecular biological mechanism of non-coding RNAs mediating OA, but the key structure or sequence of non-coding RNAs, formation and interaction of effecting composite structure about mediating OA are unknown, and it needs further study.
