ObjectiveTo review the surgical methods of arthroscopy in the treatment of acetabular labrum injury, and to provide reference for clinical treatment.MethodsThe literature about the surgical methods and clinical results of hip arthroscopy in the treatment of acetabular labrum injury was reviewed and analyzed.ResultsIn the early stages of hip arthroscopy, the removal of the torn labrum is the primary treatment option. The current principles of treatment are based on the specific circumstances of a torn labrum, including acetabular labrum debridement, acetabular labrum repair, acetabular labrum reconstruction, and acetabular labrum augmentation.ConclusionHip arthroscopy has become the preferred technique for the treatment of acetabular labrum injury. Labral repair is still the first choice, and labral reconstruction is used when acetabular labrum injury cannot be repaired.
Objective To access the protective effects of glucosamine hydrochloride capsules (OTL) on articular cartilage in osteoarthritis of rabbit. Methods Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were divided randomly into three groups (n=12): sham group (group A), anterior cruciate l igament transection (ACLT)/normal sal ine group (group B), and ACLT/ OTL group (group C). Rabbits in groups B, C received ACLT on the right knee. Rabbits in group A were not given ACLT ascontrol. Group C received a daily administration of OTL at a dose of 150 mg/kg of body weight for 12 weeks; in contrast, group B received normal sal ine at the same dose. All rabbits were sacrificed after 12 weeks. The right femoral condyle were removed and observed at pathologic changes with HE staining and graded by Mankin’s scale, the expression level of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results All rabbits survived at the end of experiment and incision healed well. The gross observation showed that joint synovia increased and articular surface was smooth and integrity in group A; that ulcer was observed on the articular surface of group B; and that articular surface was smooth and integrity in group C. There were sigificant differences in articular cartilage scores between 3 groups (P lt; 0.05). The histological observation showed that the articular cartilage had normal structure and the cells arranged regularly in group A; that the articular cartilage became thin and the cells arranged irregularly in group B; and that the cells arranged with a clear layer and had regular shape in group C. The Mankin scores were 1.04 ± 0.13, 7.97 ± 0.12, and 2.81 ± 0.36 in groups A, B, and C, respectively; showing significant difference between 3 groups (P lt; 0.05). The result of immunohistochemistry showed that the expressions of TGF-β1 were 50.62 ± 1.51, 24.81 ± 1.28, and 41.57 ± 1.69 and the expressions of IL-1β were 13.12 ± 1.21, 62.53 ±2.37, and 30.67 ± 1.28; showing significant differences between 3 groups (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion A daily administration ofOTL at a dose of 150 mg/kg for 12 weeks can partially decrease the expression levels of IL-1β and increase the expression levels of TGF-β1, which delays the development of osteoarthritis.
Objective To explore the correlation between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promotor of hepatic l ipase (HL) gene and untraumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH). Methods Between January 2007 and June 2009, 243 patients with ANFH were treated (case group), including 143 cases of steroid-induced, 79 cases of alchol-induced, and 21 cases of idiopathic. There were 156 males and 87 females with an age ranged from 16 to 64 years. Atotal of 96 normal individuals (matched for age, sex, and nation) served as control group. The blood sample of all subjects were collected to extract DNA. The promotor of HL was sequenced to find the SNP. A statistic on the frequencies of the genotype and the allele of the SNP was made. The frequencies of the genotype and the allele were analyzed with χ2 test according to case-control principle. Results The rs59644784 and rs1800588 were found in the sequenced region. It was accorded with Hardy-Weinbery genetic equil ibrium law in rs59644784 and rs1800588 of the control group and case group. There was no significant difference in the allele and genotype of rs59644784 and rs1800588 between the control group and case group (P gt; 0.05). The two SNPs existed complete l inkage disequil ibrium according to the l inkage disequil ibrium analysis. Conclusion The heterozygosity of the SNP is not consistency, and heterozygosity may be associated with the diversity of the race. ANFH is not associated with rs59644784 and rs1800588 SNPs.
Objective To study the effect of multi-disciplinary treatment (MDT) on the surgical efficacy and satisfaction of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the first time. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent unilateral TKA for single-compartment osteoarthritis of the knee in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University between January and September 2022 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. According to whether MDT was performed on patients during the perioperative period, they were divided into MDT group and traditional group. Perioperative nutrition-related indicators, perioperative complications, total hospitalization time, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS) before and after surgery were detected and recorded. Results A total of 95 patients were included. Among them, there were 42 cases in the MDT group and 53 cases in the traditional group. The postoperative complications and total hospital stay of patients in the MDT group were lower than those in the traditional group, and their satisfaction scores were higher than those in the traditional group (P<0.05). The perioperative serum total protein (TP), hemoglobin (Hb), serum albumin (ALB) levels, VAS score, and HSS score of both groups of patients changed over time. The intra group comparison results showed that compared with preoperative, the levels of TP, Hb, and ALB in both groups decreased on the 1st and 3rd postoperative days (P<0.05). On the 3rd day after surgery, the levels of TP, Hb, ALB in the MDT group and Hb, ALB in the traditional group were lower than on the 1st day after surgery (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in TP levels between the traditional group on the 3rd day after surgery and the 1st day after surgery (P>0.05). The results of intra group comparison at different time points showed that there were statistically significant differences in VAS score and HSS score between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of MDT in elderly patients undergoing unilateral TKA for the first time can shorten the total hospitalization time, reduce the incidence of perioperative complications, and improve the surgical efficacy and patient satisfaction.
