Longer Operative Time Results in a Higher Rate of Subsequent Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Patients Undergoing Primary Joint Arthroplasty

Background

Whether prolonged operative time is an independent risk factor for subsequent surgical site infection (SSI) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains a clinically significant and underexplored issue. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between operative time and the risk of subsequent SSI and PJI in patients undergoing primary TJA.

外泌体在肿瘤转移前微环境形成中的作用

肿瘤的转移前微环境（pre-metastatic niche，PMN）特指原发肿瘤灶为肿瘤细胞远处播散和定植准备的微环境，此微环境的六个特征包括炎症、免疫抑制、血管生成/血管通透性、亲器官性、重编程和淋巴管生成。PMN形成的关键成分包括肿瘤源性分泌因子、细胞外囊泡（含外泌体）、骨髓源性细胞、免疫抑制细胞和宿主基质细胞等，其中，外泌体作为细胞间重要的信使，在肿瘤PMN的形成中具有重要作用。本综述就外泌体在肿瘤PMN形成中的作用进行探讨。

The Effect of Second-Trimester Antibiotic Therapy on the Rate of Preterm Birth

ObjectiveAs many as 50% of spontaneous preterm births are infection-related, with Mycoplasma species being the most common microbial isolates from the amniotic cavity. The goal of our study was to evaluate the effect of macrolides, a specific group of antibiotics known to be effective against Mycoplasma species, on the rate of preterm births.MethodsWe performed a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis. We searched PubMed, Medline (1965–March 2006), Embase, and the Cochrane Library, using the key words “pregnancy,” “macrolides,” “erythromycin,” “azithromycin,” and “clarithromycin.” The research was limited to randomized controlled trials and to human females. Studies included for analysis were of women in the second trimester of pregnancy who received either macrolides or placebo (or no treatment) in order to prevent preterm delivery with at least 95% of patient follow-up. We excluded studies involving women with preterm premature rupture of membranes or regular uterine contractions. Meta-analysis of the retrieved data was performed using RevMan 4.2.8 (Cochrane Collaboration) with dichotomous analyses and delivery prior to 37 weeks’ gestation as the primary outcome. The analysis was subsequently repeated using the same methodology for clindamycin and metronidazole administered during the second trimester.ResultsOf the 61 articles yielded by our search, three original papers, investigating a total of 1807 women, examined macrolide utilization and met our criteria. Women included in our analysis were all considered to be at higher risk for preterm delivery (vaginal fetal fibronectin positivity, urogenital Mycoplasma infection, prior preterm delivery, and/or pregestational maternal weight < 50 kg). Compared with placebo, macrolides were associated with a lower rate of preterm births (odds ratio [OR] 0.72; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.56–0.93), as was clindamycin (OR 0.68; 95% CI 0.49–0.95). On the other hand, metronidazole (OR 1.10; 95% CI 0.95–1.29) was not linked with significant changes in the rate of preterm births. A higher rate of preterm delivery was found when mid-trimester metronidazole was the only antibiotic administered (OR 1.31; 95% CI 1.08–1.58).ConclusionMacrolides and clindamycin, given during the second trimester of pregnancy, are associated with a lower rate of preterm delivery, whereas second-trimester metronidazole used alone is linked with a greater risk of preterm delivery in a high-risk population. Use of metronidazole, a common treatment for bacterial vaginosis and Trichomonas vaginalis, should be avoided during the second trimester of pregnancy in this population.     

IL-12表达障碍与支气管哮喘关系研究进展

支气管哮喘是由Th2介导的Ⅰ型变态反应,与内源性IL-12生成不足有关,该文综述了IL-12的生物学效应、IL-12表达障碍与支气管哮喘的关系以及IL-12、重组IL-12（rIL-12）在支气管哮喘治疗方面的应用前景。IL-12与Ⅰ型变态反应关系密切,内源性IL-12表达不足使支气管哮喘患者免疫系统向Th2方向偏移,在过敏原或病毒等外因的刺激下发生支气管哮喘。用IL-12对支气管哮喘进行免疫治疗已在动物实验中取得了显著效果,将IL-12、rIL-12或IL-12的内源性诱生物应用于人体的方法也在不断探索中并取得了一定效果,基于IL-12的治疗方法可能为支气管哮喘等变应性疾病的免疫治疗开辟新的途径。     

腹腔镜微创技术施行直肠癌腹会阴联合切除手术的体会

目的:总结腹腔镜微创技术施行腹会阴联合切除术(abdom inal pelvic resection,APR)治疗低位直肠癌的手术体会。方法:2003年1月至2006年12月,我院为17例低位直肠癌患者行腹腔镜微创APR根治术。其中男10例,女7例,45~82岁,平均72岁。腹部手术在腹腔镜下完成,会阴部手术按常规手术进行。结果:17例中14例(82.4%)采用完全腹腔镜术式,3例(17.6%)采用腹腔镜辅助术式。手术中均未行盆底腹膜关闭和结肠造口旁间隙关闭。平均手术时间为(166.2±42.7)m in,全组无手术死亡病例。术后早期并发症有会阴部切口感染2例(11.8%),不全性肠梗阻1例(5.9%)。术后随访2~48个月,平均26个月,最长无瘤生存期48个月,造口旁疝1例(5.9%),远处转移1例(5.9%),无局部复发,无戳口和切口肿瘤种植以及肠梗阻发生。结论:腹腔镜微创技术用于APR手术具有患者创伤小的优势;术中造成的系膜裂孔和盆底腹膜均无缝合关闭的必要,但结肠造口必须严密缝合腹膜防止造口旁疝形成;会阴部手术必须严格无菌操作预防感染。腹腔镜微创技术是APR手术的较好方式。     

人工髋关节置换术后手术部位的感染分析

目的评估全髋置换和半髋置换术后手术部位感染（SSI）发生率及与主要危险因素的相关度。方法对564例人工髋关节置换病例进行临床资料的收集和治疗过程的监测。结果术后随访12-18个月，平均14个月。564例发生SSI9例：220例全髋置换术中发生SSI2例，344例人工半髋置换术中发生SSI7例；8例为外伤后手术病例。9例中4例感染金黄色葡萄球菌，其中3例对甲氧苯青霉素类耐药。多元分析显示患者年龄、一般状况、创伤程度、手术持续时间是重要、独立的SSI危险因素。结论全面认识人工髋关节置换术SSI相关的危险因素对是否采取适当的预防措施，减少SSI的发生率有着深远的意义。

转化生长因子-β和碱性成纤维细胞因子在儿童原发性局灶节段性肾小球硬化肾组织中的表达

目的：通过检测转化生长因子-β（TGF-β）和碱性成纤维细胞生长因子（bFGF）在儿童原发性局灶节段性肾小球硬化（FSGS）肾组织中的表达情况,并分析其与肾小管间质病理变化的关系,以了解TGF-β与bFGF在原发性FSGS发生发展中的作用。方法：选择肾活检明确诊断为原发性FSGS患儿的肾组织共43例,其中不伴有肾小管间质病变的FSGS肾组织共16例,设为实验1组;伴有肾小管间质病变的FSGS肾组织共27例,为实验2组。另将同期因孤立性血尿入院肾活检证实为非FSGS、病理改变较轻的肾组织作为对照组,共17例。采用免疫组化法检测细胞/生长因子TGF-β、bFGF在各组中的表达。通过方差分析（ANOVA）和相关分析法分析细胞/生长因子的表达与FSGS肾组织病理变化的关系以及细胞/生长因子之间的相互作用关系。结果：TGF-β、bFGF在各组肾组织中均有表达,表达量在对照组、实验1组和实验2组中依次升高,各组间的差异均具有统计学意义（P〈0.05）;且TGF-β和bFGF的表达与肾小管间质指数呈正相关,相关系数依次为0.763和0.661。此外,TGF-β和bFGF两者的表达量经相关分析也显示呈正相关,相关系数为0.587。结论：TGF-β和bFGF在原发性FSGS患儿肾组织中高表达;随着FSGS的发展,它们在肾组织中表达量不断增加,促使肾小管间质向纤维化发展,而且两者在促进肾脏纤维化具有一定的协同作用。
