男性类风湿关节炎患者骨量减低的相关研究

目的探讨男性类风湿关节炎(rheumatoid arthriti,RA)患者骨量减低的相关情况及合并骨质疏松的危险因素。方法收集2013年8月至2019年5月在苏州大学附属常州市肿瘤医院诊治的男性类风湿关节炎患者38例,年龄(64. 39±9. 44)岁,对照组为40例健康正常人群,年龄(63. 53±8. 14)岁。通过双光能X线骨密度仪测定正位腰椎(L1～4)及左侧股骨近端(包括FN、Troch、Ward、Total)骨密度;运用电化学发光免疫分析法检测BAP、BGP、CTX;记录RA患者的ESR、CRP、关节肿胀及压痛数、RF以及CCP等情况。分析比较两组骨密度及骨生化指标的差异,并采用单因素分析和多因素Logistic回归分析调查类风湿关节炎患者合并骨质疏松的危险因素。结果两组间年龄、体质量指数(body mass index,BMI)差异无统计学意义(P0. 05)。类风湿关节炎组左侧股骨颈、整体髋骨BMD测量值较对照组减低(P0. 05);且类风湿关节炎组骨量减少、骨质疏松发生率较对照组显著增高(P0. 05);在骨生化指标方面,类风湿关节炎组CTX水平高于对照组(P0. 05)。单因素分析显示BMI、CRP、DAS28-ESR及CTX与男性类风湿关节炎患者继发骨质疏松相关(P0. 05);多因素Logistic回归分析显示,BMI 18. 5 kg/m2(OR=0. 014),DAS28-ESR5. 1(OR=21. 433)及CTX0. 7 ng/m L(OR=25. 875)是男性类风湿关节炎继发骨质疏松的独立危险因素(P0. 05)。结论男性类风湿关节炎患者同样易合并骨质疏松的发生,BMI、DAS28及CTX等危险因素应高度重视。

目的探究卡马西平与左乙拉西坦治疗成人癫痫的效果及对认知功能、骨密度的影响。方法92例成人癫痫患者作为研究对象,随机分为左乙拉西坦组与卡马西平组,各46例。左乙拉西坦组采用左乙拉西坦治疗,卡马西平组采用卡马西平治疗。比较两组患者治疗前及治疗6个月后认知功能[语言智商(VIQ)、操作智商(PIQ)、总智商(FIQ)]评分、骨密度(腰椎、股骨大转子、股骨颈)变化情况。结果治疗6个月后,两组患者VIQ、PIQ、FIQ评分均较治疗前显著提升,且左乙拉西坦组患者VIQ评分(101.2±3.1)分、PIQ评分(108.1±2.3)分、FIQ评分(105.2±1.8)分均明显高于卡马西平组的(95.1±2.8)、(94.1±2.0)、(93.5±1.6)分,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗6个月后,卡马西平组患者腰椎、股骨大转子、股骨颈骨密度均较治疗前显著下降,且明显低于卡马西平组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);左乙拉西坦组治疗6个月后腰椎、股骨大转子、股骨颈骨密度与治疗前比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论左乙拉西坦与卡马西平治疗成人癫痫,左乙拉西坦更能明显提升患者认知功能,且对患者骨密度无影响。     

Reduction of BMP6‐induced bone formation by calcium phosphate in wild‐type compared with nude mice

Nude mice have been extensively used to investigate the potency of tissue engineering strategies for bone repair. However, the contribution of pro‐inflammatory and proregenerative stimuli of the host for the process of new bone formation and integration remains poorly understood. In this study, ectopic bone formation was investigated in nude (Nu) versus wild‐type (WT) mice. Calcium phosphate (CaP) scaffolds (CopiOs [Zimmer] and Bio‐Oss [Geistlich]) were loaded with different concentrations of rhBMP6 (40, 120, and 240 ng/mm³ rhBMP6) and implanted subcutaneously in Nu (BALB/c and NMR1) and WT (BALB/c and c57BL/6) mice. CaP scaffolds loaded with rhBMP6 did not form bone in WT mice. However, in Nu mice, 40 ng/mm³ rhBMP6 was sufficient to generate relevant volumes of new bone at 6 weeks after implantation. Looking into potential underlying mechanisms, TNF‐α blocking antibodies were injected intraperitoneally but could not restore bone formation. Also, mouse periosteal cells (mPDCs) seeded in CopiOs loaded with rhBMP6 did not significantly improve the outcome. Abrogation of bone formation was associated with dense cellular infiltration, in particular with the presence of CD3+ T‐lymphocytes. To probe a correlation between calcium ions and impaired bone formation in WT mice, type 1 collagen gels were loaded with rhBMP6 and calcium chloride and injected subcutaneously. These gels generated new bone in WT mice despite the increased percentage of CD3+ cells at Day 3 after implantation as compared with control gels. Overall, this study illustrated the negative effect of the inflammatory host response on the bone‐forming capacity of rhBMP6 coated on bioceramic scaffolds.

Molecular biology: a guide for orthopaedic surgeons

Fracture non-union, prosthetic joint infection and fracture-related infections are complications frequently encountered by the trauma and orthopaedic surgeon. Moreover, they pose a significant socioeconomic and healthcare burden to the society. A clear understanding of the molecular biology surrounding fracture healing, as well as the pathophysiology of orthopaedic-related infections, is of paramount importance to their successful management. The first section of this article aims to explain the basic science critical to the understanding of DNA, RNA, gene and protein expression, and the molecular techniques most commonly deployed in the diagnostic and research fields of trauma and orthopaedics. The second section provides a general overview of the molecular physiology of fracture healing and biofilm, the molecular characteristics and genetic predisposition of fracture non-union, followed by discussing recent advances in molecular techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of fracture non-union, prosthetic joint infection and fracture-related infections.     

Preoperative tendon retraction,not smoking,is a risk factor for failure with continuity after rotator cuff repair

BackgroundSmoking is a poor prognostic factor for healing after rotator cuff repair and is associated with inferior results. We hypothesized that smokers would have higher recurrent tear rates and more postoperative myotendinous junction (MTJ) retraction in healed repairs than nonsmokers three months postoperatively.MethodsRotator cuff repairs (RCRs) were retrospectively reviewed over a 2-year period. Patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 6 months prior to surgery and again at 3 months postoperatively. Seventy-nine patients were included and stratified by smokers versus nonsmokers. Baseline patient demographics, tear characteristics, and surgical factors were collected. Preoperative and postoperative MRIs were assessed to quantify the MTJ position and to establish the recurrent tear rate.ResultsFor the total cohort (nonsmokers, n = 56; smokers, n = 23), significant differences in age, race, and traumatic onset of injury existed between groups. There were no significant differences in recurrent tear between smokers (26%) and nonsmokers (27%), but nonsmokers were more satisfied. For patients with healed RCRs (nonsmokers, n = 41; smokers, n = 17), there were significant differences in race. On univariate analysis, nonsmokers had a significantly more lateral MTJ postoperatively (P = 0.05). On multivariable regression analysis, medialized postoperative MTJ position in healed cuffs was driven only by greater preoperative rotator cuff retraction preoperatively. There were no significant differences in MTJ position based on smoking status for patients with healed RCRs.ConclusionSmoking does not appear to be an independent risk factor for postoperative MTJ retraction in healed RCRs, also known as failure in continuity. Preoperative tear size and retraction play the biggest roles in predicting postoperative MTJ position, regardless of smoking status. There are no significant differences in patient-reported outcomes for patients with healed RCRs, but nonsmokers had more satisfaction following RCR in the total cohort.Level of EvidenceLevel III; Retrospective cohort study; Diagnostic study
