RESUMO
RATIONALE: Recently N-Fluoroarenesulfonamides (ArSO2 NHF) were found to be promising precursors for the preparation of N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide derivatives without applying F2 . However, very few studies have discussed the mass spectrometric behaviors of ArSO2 NHF with N-F structure. METHODS: In this article, we applied high-resolution electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS/MS) to study the effect on the mass spectrometric behaviors of ArSO2 NHF after the introduction of the F-atom to the N-atom of ArSO2 NH2 . RESULTS: High-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) experiments showed that ArSO2 NHF produced only good signals in negative ion mode, and the dominating product ion SO2 F- at m/z 83 was observed in all HR-ESI-MS/MS of ArSO2 NF- with different substituents in the Ar group. The formation of the product ion SO2 F- was proof of the gas-phase F-atom migration rearrangement from the N-atom to the S-atom in ESI-MS/MS of ArSO2 NF- . CONCLUSION: To fully explain the gas-phase reaction mechanism from ArSO2 NF- to SO2 F- , we studied the HR-ESI-MS/MS of deprotonated ArSO2 NHF and also performed theoretical calculations. Both results confirmed that ArSO2 NF- first underwent Smiles rearrangement to yield intermediate I (INT1) ArNFSO2 - , and then the F-atom of ArNFSO2 - migrated from the N-atom to the S-atom to form intermediate II (INT2) ArN- SO2 F, which finally dissociated to SO2 F- at m/z 83 with loss of a neutral nitrene (ArN). All these results showed that the formation of the product ion SO2 F- from ArSO2 NF- was a common and intrinsic gas-phase reactivity of ArSO2 NF- .
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty, the use of dexamethasone (DEX) may cause perioperative blood glucose (BG) disorders, leading to complications even in patients who do not have diabetes. We aimed to evaluate the effects of different DEX doses on perioperative BG levels. METHODS: A total of 135 patients who do not have diabetes were randomized into three groups: preoperative intravenous (IV) injection of normal saline (Group A, the placebo group), preoperative IV injection of 10 mg DEX (Group B), and preoperative IV injection of 20 mg DEX (Group C). Postoperative fasting BG (FBG) levels were designated as the primary outcome, while postoperative postprandial BG (PBG) levels were assigned as the secondary outcome. The incidence of complications was recorded. We also investigated the risk factors for FBG ≥ 140 mg/dL and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dL. RESULTS: The FBG levels were higher in Groups B and C than in Group A on postoperative days (PODs) 0 and 1. The PBG levels were lower for Groups A and B compared to Group C on POD 1. No differences in FBG or PBG were detected beyond POD 1. Elevated preoperative glycosylated hemoglobin A1c levels increased the risk of FBG ≥ 140 mg/dL and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dL, respectively. However, preoperative IV injection of DEX was not associated with FBG ≥ 140 mg/dL or PBG ≥ 180 mg/dL. No differences were found in postoperative complications among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS: The preoperative IV administration of 10 or 20 mg DEX in patients who do not have diabetes showed transient effects on postoperative BG after total joint arthroplasty. The preoperative glycosylated hemoglobin A1c level threshold (regardless of the administration or dosage of DEX) that increased the risk for the occurrence of FBG ≥ 140 mg/dL and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dL was 5.75 and 5.85%, respectively.

Polypeptides, as natural polyelectrolytes, are assembled into tailored proteins to integrate chromophores and catalytic sites for photosynthesis. Mimicking nature to create the water-soluble nanoassemblies from synthetic polyelectrolytes and photocatalytic molecular species for artificial photosynthesis is still rare. Here, we report the enhancement of the full-spectrum solar-light-driven H2 production within a supramolecular system built by the co-assembly of anionic metalloporphyrins with cationic polyelectrolytes in water. This supramolecular photocatalytic system achieves a H2 production rate of 793 and 685â µmol h-1 g-1 over 24â h with a combination of Mg or Zn porphyrin as photosensitizers and Cu porphyrin as a catalyst, which is more than 23â times higher than that of free molecular controls. With a photosensitizer to catalyst ratio of 10000 : 1, the highest H2 production rate of >51,700â µmol h-1 g-1 with a turnover number (TON) of >1,290 per molecular catalyst was achieved over 24â h irradiation. The hierarchical self-assembly not only enhances photostability through forming ordered stackings of the metalloporphyrins but also facilitates both energy and electron transfer from antenna molecules to catalysts, and therefore promotes the photocatalysis. This study provides structural and mechanistic insights into the self-assembly enhanced photostability and catalytic performance of supramolecular photocatalytic systems.
RESUMO
Cyclic annulation involving diaryliodonium salts is an efficient tool for the construction of two or more chemical bonds in a one-pot process. Ortho-functionalized diaryliodonium salts have showcased distinct reactivity in the exploration of benzocyclization or arylocyclization. With this strategy of ortho-ester-substituted diaryliodonium salts, herein, we utilized a copper catalyst to activate the C-I bond of diaryliodonium salts in the generation of aryl radicals, thus resulting in an annulation reaction with naphthols and substituted phenols. This approach yielded a diverse array of 3,4-benzocoumarin derivatives bearing various substituents.
RESUMO
In this study, we present an efficient site-selective O-arylation method applicable to a broad range of complex arenes involving intramolecular aryl rearrangement. The reaction was facilitated by diaryliodonium salts bearing vicinal trifluoromethanesulfonate (OTf) groups. The procedure was initiated with selective C-H bond activation of arenes, which were then converted into diaryl ethers through nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr). This synthetic method successfully affords complex diaryl ether derivatives, showcasing its practicality for the diversification of functionalized arenes and pharmaceutical agents.
RESUMO
RATIONALE: Deuterium-labeled organic compounds, reagents, and drugs are widely used in many scientific research fields. Isotopic purity as the feature parameter of deuterated compounds is of great importance. In this article, we used electrospray ionization with high-resolution mass spectrometry (ESI-HRMS) to study isotopic purity of deuterium-labeled organic compounds based on assigning and distinguishing the corresponding H/D (hydrogen-deuterium) isotopolog ions of deuterated compounds. METHODS: We systematically considered the specific requirements of accuracy and resolution of ESI-HRMS when measuring isotopic purity and demonstrated some actual cases using ESI-HRMS and ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC)-HRMS. Meanwhile, ESI-HRMS/MS of deuterated compounds was performed to obtain more information on deuterium-labeled position characterization. RESULTS: Two isotopic purity calculation methods based on the relative abundance in ESI-HRMS and UPLC-HRMS of H/D isotopolog ions (D0 -Dn ) were compared, which gave consistent isotopic purity values and were in good agreement with the certified isotopic purity values. We further studied and monitored the H/D exchange reaction of ethyl 3-(4-bromophenyl)-3-oxopropanoate (EBPO) by evaluating the dynamic isotopic purity changes in EBPO-D2 in the H/D exchange reaction in situ. CONCLUSION: The isotopic purity characterization methods using ESI-HRMS discussed in this article have some outstanding advantages: rapid, highly sensitive, very low sample consumption (even below nanogram level), and deuterated solvent-free. Thus, this low-impact analytical method requires less time and is cost effective and might have good application potential for in-situ isotopic purity analysis and for monitoring the H/D exchange reactions.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Major symptoms of depression are commonly observed in patients requiring total hip arthroplasty (THA), and this is associated with increased pain scores and opioid consumption. We aimed to investigate the analgesic effect of duloxetine in these high-risk patients. METHODS: Among 263 patients scheduled for primary unilateral THA, 67 patients who scored at least 8 on the 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomized to the duloxetine group (60 mg daily, from the day of surgery to postoperative day 6) or the placebo group. The postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) score during walking, the VAS score during hip flexion, and resting VAS score was measured. Postoperative morphine consumption, hip range of motion (ROM), Harris hip score (HHS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) function, postoperative length of stay (LOS), and adverse events were recorded. RESULTS: The duloxetine group had significantly lower VAS scores during walking and hip flexion from postoperative day 3 to week 3 than the placebo group. With regard to the resting VAS score, duloxetine showed a better analgesic effect from postoperative day 3 to week 2 than placebo. Patients in the duloxetine group had less consumption of morphine. The duloxetine group exhibited better hip function scores, including ROM, HHS, and WOMAC function scores than the placebo group. No significant difference was observed in LOS or adverse events between groups. CONCLUSION: Perioperative short-term duloxetine provides advantages in decreasing pain, reducing morphine consumption, and increasing hip function in THA patients who have depressive symptoms.

OBJECTIVES: To identify 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl) pentan-1-one (4-F-α-PVP) analog 1-(4-fluoro-3-methyl phenyl)-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl) pentan-1-one (4-F-3-Methyl-α-PVP) hydrochloride without reference substance. METHODS: The direct-injection electron ionization-mass spectrometry (EI-MS), GC-MS, electrospray ionization-high resolution mass spectrometry (ESI-HRMS), ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS/MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), ion chromatography and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were integrated utilized to achieve the structural analysis and characterization of the unknown compound in the sample, and the cleavage mechanism of the fragment ions was deduced by EI-MS and UPLC-HRMS/MS. RESULTS: By analyzing the direct-injection EI-MS, GC-MS, ESI-HRMS and UPLC-HRMS/MS of the compound in the samples, it was concluded that the unknown compound was a structural analog of 4-F-α-PVP, possibly with one more methyl group in the benzene ring. According to the analysis results of 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, it was further proved that the methyl group is located at the 3-position of the benzene ring. Since the actual number of hydrogen in 1H-NMR analysis was one more than 4-F-3-Methyl-α-PVP neutral molecule, it was inferred that the compound existed in the form of salt. Ion chromatography analysis results showed that the compound contained chlorine anion (content 11.14%-11.16%), with the structural analysis of main functional group information by FTIR, the unknown compound was finally determined to be 4-F-3-Methyl-α-PVP hydrochloride. CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive method using EI-MS, GC-MS, ESI-HRMS, UPLC-HRMS/MS, NMR, ion chromatography and FTIR to identify 4-F-3-Methyl-α-PVP hydrochloride in samples is established, which will be helpful for the forensic science laboratory to identify this compound or other analog compounds.

An efficient iron-catalyzed asymmetric [4 + 2] cycloaddition of cyclopentadiene with α,ß-unsaturated acyl imidazoles or 2-cinnamoylisoindoline-1,3-dione derivatives was developed to afford the addition products in high yield and selectivity. Interestingly, the absolute structures of the addition products were controlled by the auxiliaries via different coordination modes with the same type of catalyst.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) and adductor canal block (ACB) provide postoperative analgesia for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ACB blocks the saphenous nerve and has smaller impacts on quadriceps muscle weakness. ACB theoretically does not have enough analgesic effects on posterior sensory nerves. LIA may increase its analgesic effects on the posterolateral knee. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether ACB combined with a LIA cocktail of ropivacaine, morphine, and betamethasone has superior analgesic effect than LIA for TKA. METHODS: A total of 86 patients were assessed for eligibility from February 2019 to May 2019. 26 of those were excluded, and 60 patients were divided into 2 groups by computer-generated random number. Group A (LIA group) received LIA cocktail of ropivacaine, morphine and betamethasone. Group B (LIA+ ACB group) received ultrasound-guided ACB and LIA cocktail of ropivacaine, morphine and betamethasone. Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) resting or active pain scores, opioid consumption, range of motion (ROM), functional tests, complications and satisfaction rates were measured. The longest follow-up was 2 years. RESULTS: Two groups have no differences in terms of characteristics, preoperative pain or function (P > 0.05). ACB combined with LIA had significantly lower resting and active VAS pain scores, better ROM, better sleeping quality and higher satisfaction rates than LIA alone within 72 h postoperatively (P < 0.05). Complications, or adverse events and HSS score, SF-12 score were observed no significant differences within 2 years postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Adductor canal block combined with Local infiltration analgesia provide better early pain control. Although the small statistical benefit may not result in minimal clinically important difference, Adductor canal block combined with Local infiltration analgesia also reduce opioid requirements, improve sleeping quality, and do not increase the complication rate. Therefore, Adductor canal block combined with Local infiltration analgesia still have good application prospects as an effective pain management for total knee arthroplasty.

Objective: To investigate the effect of whole-process case management based on service process design on patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in areas including pain, function, satisfaction, and complications. Methods: A total of 204 patients who underwent unilateral TKA between April 2021 and March 2022 at the Department of Orthopedics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University were enrolled. By using a random number table, the patients were randomly assigned to two groups, 102 in the general case management group (group G) and 102 in the whole-process case management group (group W). Patients in group G received traditional perioperative case management, while those in the whole-process case management group received integrated case management optimized on the basis of the service process design. The two groups of patients were studied through comparison of their general data, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score, knee flexion and range of motion, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score, the 18-item Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (PSQ-18), ability to climb stairs, and complications at 3 days and 3, 8, and 12 weeks after TKA. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in patient general information or baseline data collected at the time of enrollment ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in HSS score, joint range of motion, and VAS pain score between the two groups before the surgery and 3 days after the surgery ( P>0.05). However, the HSS score, joint range of motion, and VAS pain scores of group W were significantly superior to those of group G at 3, 8 and 12 weeks after the surgery (all P<0.05). In addition, group W demonstrated significantly better ability to climb up and down stairs than that of group G at 12 weeks after the surgery ( P< 0.001). In terms of satisfaction, patients in group W were significantly more satisfied than those in group G at 3 days, and 3, 8, and 12 weeks after the surgery ( P<0.001). Conclusion: Whole-process case management based on service process design has a positive effect of relieving pain, increasing range of motion, improving function, increasing satisfaction, and reducing complications in patients undergoing TKA.

BACKGROUND: Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) with severe femoral bone defects remains a major challenge. The purpose of this study is to report the minimum 8-year clinical and radiographic results of revision THA with severe femoral bone defects treated with extensively porous-coated stems and cortical strut allografts. METHODS: We retrospectively identified 44 patients diagnosed with Paprosky type III and IV femoral bone defects between January 2006 and July 2011. The exclusion criteria were patients not eligible for surgery, revised with extensively porous-coated stems alone, lost to follow-up and deceased. A total of 31 patients treated with extensively porous-coated stems and cortical strut allografts were finally included in this study. The degree of femoral bone defects was categorized as Paprosky type IIIA in 19 patients, type IIIB in 9 patients and type IV in 3 patients. The mean duration of follow-up was 11.0 ± 1.5 (range, 8.1-13.5) years. RESULTS: The mean Harris Hip Score improved significantly from 43.4 ± 10.5 points to 85.2 ± 6.6 points (P < 0.001). Similarly, WOMAC and SF-12 scores also significantly improved. Twenty-eight stems achieved stable bone ingrowth, two stems showed stable fibrous ingrowth, and one stem was radiologically unstable. Complete union and bridging between cortical strut allografts and host bone was achieved in all 31 patients. The femoral width was augmented with cortical strut allografts after revision surgery (an increase of 10.5 ± 0.5 mm) and showed a slight decrease of 2.5 ± 4.8 mm after the 10-year follow-up. Using re-revision for any reason as an endpoint, the Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival rate of the stem was 96.2% (95% confidence interval, 75.7-99.5%) at 10 years. CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrate that the use of extensively porous-coated stems combined with cortical strut allografts in revision THA with Paprosky type III and IV femoral bone defects can provide satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes with a minimum follow-up of 8 years.

BACKGROUND: To assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous and subsequent long-term oral tranexamic acid (TXA) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) without a tourniquet. METHODS: In this double-blinded trial, 118 patients undergoing primary TKA were randomized into two groups: the patients in group A received intravenous TXA at 20-mg/kg 10 min before the surgery and 3 h postoperatively, and then oral 1 g TXA from postoperative day (POD) 1 to POD 14, and the patients in group B received intravenous TXA at 20-mg/kg 10 min before surgery and 3 h postoperatively, and then oral 1 g placebo from postoperative day (POD) 1 to POD 14. The primary outcome was total blood loss. Secondary outcomes included ecchymosis area and morbidity, postoperative transfusion, postoperative laboratory values, postoperative knee function and length of hospital stay. Complications, and patient satisfaction were also recorded. RESULTS: The mean total blood loss was lower in Group A than in Group B (671.7 ml vs 915.8 ml, P = 0.001). There was no significant difference in the transfusion rate between the two groups. Group A had a higher hemoglobin than Group B on POD 3 (106.0 g/L vs 99.7 g/L, P = 0.001). However, no significant difference was found for Hb or hematocrit on POD 1 or POD 14 between the two groups. Patients in Group A had less ecchymosis morbidity (7 vs 38, P = 0.001), smaller ecchymosis area (1.6 vs 3.0, P = 0.001) than Group B. The blood coagulation level as measured by fibrinolysis (D-Dimer) was lower in Group A than in Group B on POD 1 and POD 3 (4.6 mg/L vs. 8.4 mg/L, respectively, P = 0.001; 1.5 mg/L vs. 3.3 mg/L, respectively, P = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference on POD 14, and the fibrin degradation products showed the same trend. Patients in Group A had less swelling than those in Group B on POD 3 and POD 14. The circumference of the knee was 43.1 cm vs. 46.1 cm (POD 3, P = 0.001) and 41.4 cm vs. 44.9 cm (POD 14, P = 0.001) in Group A vs Group B, respectively. Nevertheless, the circumference of the knee in the two groups was similar on POD 1 and POD 3 M. No significant differences were identified in knee function, pain score, or hospital stay. No significant differences were identified in thromboembolic complications, infection, hematoma, wound healing and patients satisfaction between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Intravenous and subsequent long-term oral TXA produced less blood loss and less swelling and ecchymosis compared with short-term TXA without increasing the risk of complications. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ( ChiCTR-IPR-17012264 ).

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to analyze the 10-year outcomes of cementless, modular total hip arthroplasty (THA) in adult patients who had high dislocation secondary to childhood pyogenic arthritis. METHODS: We retrospectively followed 56 consecutive patients who underwent cementless, modular THA for the late sequelae of childhood septic arthritis of the hip from 2001 to 2011. There were 23 men and 33 women with a mean age of 47 years (24 to 68). Of the 56 hips, 25 were classified as Crowe type III and 31 as type IV. Mean follow-up was 10.7 years. RESULTS: One hip with a quiescent period of 23 years had recurrence of infection. Revision surgery was performed in 2 patients because of loosening and breakage of femoral stem and new infection with no correlation with childhood sepsis, respectively. The mean Harris hip scores improved from 44.2 points preoperatively to 87.5 points at final follow-up. Similarly, the Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score and hip pain also significantly improved at the latest follow-up. The mean acetabular cup abduction was 40.8° and the mean anteversion 27.8°, respectively. There were 5 cases of transient nerve palsy and 5 cases of intraoperative fracture. CONCLUSION: THA can reliably restore the abnormal anatomy and provide good results in these young and active patients who had high hip dislocation secondary to childhood pyogenic arthritis with a relatively high incidence of complications. However, these complications can be treated.

BACKGROUND: Although randomized controlled trials have confirmed oral tranexamic acid (TXA) can provide similar blood-sparing efficacy compared with intravenous (IV) TXA in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), some concerns do remain about thromboembolic events after such systemic administration. Many studies have confirmed that intra-articular (IA) application of TXA can show similar blood-saving efficacy with minimal levels of systemic absorption compared with IV TXA. However, it remains unclear whether the efficacy and safety of oral TXA administration is equal to or less than that of IA administration in TKA without the use of a tourniquet and drain. Thus, this study was to verify non-inferior efficacy and safety of oral TXA compared with IA TXA in primary TKA. METHODS: A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was performed to compare three oral doses of TXA (2 g of TXA 2 h before incision, and 1 g of TXA 6 and 12 h after surgery, respectively) with IA TXA (3 g of TXA in 100 mL of saline solution). One hundred forty-seven patients scheduled for TKA were randomized to one of the two interventions. The primary outcome was total blood loss. The secondary outcomes included reduction of hemoglobin concentration, clinical outcomes, blood coagulation values, thromboembolic complications, and transfusion rates. RESULTS: The mean total blood loss was 788.8 mL in the oral TXA group compared with 872.4 mL in the IA TXA group, with no statistical significance (p > 0.05). There were no significant differences in reduction of hemoglobin level, blood coagulation level, and clinical outcomes. The transfusion rates were 4% in oral group and 5% IA group, respectively. Also, no significant differences were identified in thromboembolic complications. CONCLUSION: Oral TXA according to the described protocol demonstrated non-inferiority for primary TKA, with no safety concerns and a greatly reduced cost, compared with the IA TXA. This randomized controlled trial supports the oral administration of TXA in TKA. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ( ChiCTR-INR-17010968 ) dated 23rd March 2017.

BACKGROUND: Tranexamic acid (TXA) has demonstrated efficacy in reducing blood loss, reduction in hemoglobin, and blood transfusion requirements in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The optimal mode of TXA administration for patients undergoing primary THA is unclear. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether oral administration of TXA was superior to intravenous or topical routes in these patients. METHODS: In this double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, patients undergoing primary THA were randomized to oral (2 g TXA orally 2 hours preoperatively), intravenous (20 mg/kg intravenous TXA bolus 5 minutes before the incision), or topical (2 g TXA applied topically) TXA groups. The primary outcome was the reduction in hemoglobin. Secondary outcomes included blood loss, transfusion rate, cost of TXA (Chinese yuan (¥); in 2017, ¥1 = $0.147), and adverse events. RESULTS: One hundred eighty patients were randomized into the 3 groups. Demographic characteristics were similar among the groups. The mean reduction in hemoglobin was similar among the oral, intravenous, and topical groups (3.48 ± 1.32, 3.58 ± 1.07, and 3.66 ± 1.26 g/dL, respectively). Similarly, the mean total blood loss did not differ significantly among the 3 groups. The oral group incurred the lowest TXA cost (¥480) compared with that in the intravenous (¥3329.28) and topical (¥3540) groups (P = .01). None of the patients sustained a deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or an infection. CONCLUSION: The blood-sparing efficacy of oral TXA is comparable to that of the intravenous and topical forms. Oral TXA is recommended because of its cost-benefit superiority and ease of administration.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate 10-year outcomes in cementless monobloc total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a group of hips with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD). METHODS: We reviewed 71 patients (88 hips) who underwent cementless THA with a diagnosis of LCPD from 2003 to 2009. From the total of 71 patients, 34 men and 37 women with an average age of 49.94 years were included. The mean follow-up period was 10 years. RESULTS: The mean Harris Hip Score improved significantly from 46.42 to 89.70. Similarly, the postoperative range of motion, hip dysfunction and osteoarthritis outcome score and SF-12 score also significantly improved. The mean leg lengthening was 22.1 mm. During the follow-up, eight complications were noted, including two cases of intraoperative femoral fractures, two cases of sciatic nerve paralysis, two cases of heterotrophic ossifications, one case of thigh pain and one case of dislocation. One revision was conducted for a periprosthetic fracture, and the survivorship at 10 years was 98.3%. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that the monobloc stem can lead to satisfactory outcomes for clinical function, radiological evaluation, restoration of the normal limb lengths, complications, and survivorship among LCPD patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

BACKGROUND: This retrospective study was designed to determine complications, functional and radiographic results of transverse subtrochanteric osteotomy during cementless, modular total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a series of active patients younger than 45 years with Crowe Type-III or IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). METHODS: We followed 49 patients (56 hips) with DDH who were treated with cementless THA, where the acetabular cup was positioned in the anatomic hip center and where a simultaneous transverse femoral osteotomy was performed. Complication rate evaluation and clinical outcomes were measured by validated clinical scores and radiographic evaluation were performed at a mean follow up of 10 years (range, 4.8-14.3 years). RESULTS: The mean limb-length discrepancy was reduced from 4.2 cm to 1.1 cm (P < 0.01). The mean Harris hip score (HSS) significantly improved from 40.6 points to 87.4 points (P < 0.01). Similarly, severity of low back pain, modified MAP, HOOS, and SF-12 also showed significant improvement (P < 0.01). There were 3 cases of postoperative dislocation, 3 cases of transient nerve palsy, 2 cases of nonunion, and 4 cases of intraoperative fracture. At 10 years follow-up, the estimated survival rate with any component revision as end points was 92%. CONCLUSION: The cementless THA combined with transverse subtrochanteric osteotomy is a reliable technique with restoration of a more normal limb, satisfactory clinical outcomes, and mid-term survival of components.

BACKGROUND: When surgeons reconstruct hips with a high dislocation related to severe developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in total hip arthroplasty (THA), archiving long-term stable implant fixation and improving patient function and satisfaction remain challenging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 10-year outcomes of transverse subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy in cementless, modular THA in Crowe type IV-Hartofilakidis type III DDH. METHODS: We reviewed 62 patients (76 hips) who underwent cementless THA with transverse subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy from 2002-2010. There were 49 women and 13 men with a mean age of 38.8 years, all of whom had Crowe type IV DDH. Mean follow-up period was 10 years. The acetabular cup was implanted in placement of the anatomical hip center in all hips. RESULTS: The mean Harris Hip Score significantly improved from 38.8 points to 86.1 points. Similarly, modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel Hip Score, Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and SF-12 also significantly improved. The mean limb length discrepancy was reduced from 4.3 cm to 1.0 cm. At mean follow-up of 10 years, there were 3 cases of postoperative dislocation, 2 cases of transient nerve palsy, 1 case of nonunion, and 4 cases of intraoperative fracture. Revision surgery was performed in 2 patients due to isolated loosening of acetabular component and femoral stem, respectively. CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrated that the cementless, modular THA combined with transverse subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy was an effective and reliable technique with high rates of successful fixation of the implants and satisfactory clinical outcomes.

A carbon fiber ionization (CFI) technique was developed for the mass spectrometric analysis of various organic compounds with different polarities. The design of the CFI technique was based on the good compatibility and dispersion of samples and solutions in different solvents on carbon fiber. As a fast, convenient, and versatile ionization method, CFI-MS is especially efficient for analyzing many low/nonpolar organic compounds, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, long-chain aliphatic aldehydes, sensitive steroids, terpenoids, and organometallic compounds. Some of these compounds may not be well-analyzed by electrospray ionization or electron ionization mass spectrometry. On the basis of our experimental results, the major ion formation mechanism of CFI-MS was suggested to involve desorption in a steam-distillation-like process, and then, ionization occurred mainly via corona discharge under high voltage. CFI-MS could not only work alone but also be coupled with separation techniques. It works well when coupled with supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) as well as in the analysis of exhaled human air. The high flexibility and versatility of CFI-MS has extended its applications in many areas, such as fast chemical screening, clinical testing, and forensic analysis.
