双侧耳郭软骨骨化1例并文献复习

目的探讨耳郭软骨骨化的发病机制、临床表现、诊断依据、鉴别诊断、治疗方法。方法回顾性分析1例耳郭软骨骨化患者的临床资料并复习相关文献进行总结。结果耳郭软骨骨化的发病机制暂不明确,通常无明显不适症状,少数患者可伴有局部疼痛、听力下降等症状。颞骨CT可辅助诊断,最终确诊依赖于组织病理检查。症状不明显时可暂予观察,若症状严重影响了生活和工作,可予手术治疗。结论耳郭软骨骨化在临床上较为少见,目前尚无有效逆转耳郭骨化的办法。积极寻找病因,及早干预,有利于避免病情进一步发展。     

伸筋易骨法调节兔膝关节周围软组织张力影响软骨形态的研究

[目的] 评价伸筋易骨法对膝关节周围软组织张力及软骨形态的影响，以探讨其对膝关节骨性关节炎（KOA）的治疗作用。[方法] 选择6~8月龄雌性健康新西兰大耳白兔50只，随机分为5组。其中模型组、推拿组、玻璃酸钠组采用Hulth造模法模拟KOA，正常组、假手术组不做干预。造模成功后，推拿组予伸筋易骨法治疗3周，玻璃酸钠组予局部关节内注射每周1次，共3周，模型组不予任何治疗。治疗结束后，测试股直肌、股二头肌张力，并取软骨组织进行HE染色后光镜下进行形态学观察，并进行Markin评分。分析推拿组与其余4组的异同。[结果] 模型组较正常组，股直肌FDD值和S值显著降低（P<0.05），股二头肌FDD值和S值显著升高（P<0.05）。推拿组和玻璃酸钠组相较于模型组的股直肌FDD值和S值均显著升高（P<0.05））；推拿组和玻璃酸钠组相较于模型组股二头肌的FDD值和S值均显著降低（P<0.05）。推拿组和玻璃酸钠组相较于模型组，Mankin’s评分比较有统计学意义（P<0.05）。[结论] 伸筋易骨法可以显著增加关节周围肌肉的肌力、调节组织张力、改善关节活动功能，对保护膝关节周围软组织功能具有重要意义。     

距骨骨软骨损伤采用踝关节镜下微骨折手术及自体骨软骨移植术的疗效对比

目的:对比分析踝关节镜下微骨折手术和自体骨软骨移植术治疗距骨骨软骨损伤的临床疗效及影响。方法:将某院收治的112例距骨骨软骨损伤患者,随机分为微骨折手术组和自体骨软骨移植术组,各56例,比较两组患者的前后踝关节VAS、AOFAS踝-后足评分、临床疗效和复发情况。结果:两组治疗前VAS评分、AOFAS踝关节评分、并发症发生率对比差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);治疗后,两组患者的踝关节VAS均有所下降,AOFAS踝关节评分均升高,且微骨折术组踝关节VAS高于移植术组,但AOFAS踝关节评分较低,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。微骨折术组治疗总有效率明显高于移植术组。结论:踝关节镜下微骨折术相对自体骨软骨移植术治疗距骨骨软骨损伤,疗效显著,值得在临床借鉴。     

Rhinoplasty in China: A review of the most important events in its history of development

A review of the literature in commonly used retrieval systems generally yields minimal or no pertinent information on the early works of Chinese doctors. Herein, the early works in rhinoplasty by pioneers Dr. Maolian Hu (胡懋廉) and Dr. PC Nyi (倪葆春) were retrieved from the database of Chinese Medical Journal published before 1949 that overseas doctors could not gain access to online possibly due to the language barrier in collecting and processing those old professional data by main retrieval systyems. They published original articles on costal cartilage applications for correction of saddle noses in as early as 1939 and 1949, respectively, which represent the earliest attempts of treating nasal deformities with costal cartilages in China as well as in Asia. The private cosmetic surgical practices in rhinoplasty from the 1930s to the 1940s were recovered and briefly reviewed, and some of the most important clinical cases were presented. Other important events related to rhinoplasty, such as the establishment of the first national society of rhinoplasty in Chengdu, China in 2011 and the successful performance of the first national congress on rhinoplasty in Shanghai, China in 2012, were included.     

Long-term durable repaired cartilage induced by SOX9 in situ with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Background: Microfracture is a common procedure for cartilage repair, but it often produces inferior fibrocartilage. We previously reported that a super positively charged SOX9 (scSOX9) promoted hyaline-like cartilage regeneration by inducing bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into chondrocytes in vivo. Here we examined the long-term efficacy of cartilage repair induced by microfracture with scSOX9 by assessing the biomechanical property of the repaired cartilage.Methods: A cartilage defect was created at the right femoral trochlear groove in New Zealand female rabbits and microfracture was performed. The scSOX9 protein was administered at the site of microfracture incorporated in a collagen membrane.Results: At 12 and 24 weeks, scSOX9 treatment induced hyaline-like cartilage while collagen-membrane alone induced fibrocartilage and mutant scSOX9-A76E poorly induced cartilage repair. The cartilage matrix in scSOX9-treated group showed highly enriched proteoglycan content. Consistent with the histological feature and the thickness of the repaired cartilage, the mechanical property of scSOX9-induced cartilage was also similar to that of normal cartilage.Conclusion: This long-term in vivo study demonstrated that in combination with microfracture, scSOX9 was able to induce reparative tissue with features of hyaline cartilage which was durable in long-term. This technology has the potential to translate into clinical use for cartilage repair to prevent progression to osteoarthritis.     

Articular cartilage repair & joint preservation: A review of the current status of biological approach

The articular cartilage of the joint is the thin viscoelastic layer of the connective tissue. It has a unique anatomy and physiology, which makes the repair of the articular cartilage damage more difficult and challenging due to its limited healing capacity. Increasing knowledge regarding the importance of articular cartilage for joint preservation has led to increased attention on early identification of cartilage damage as well as degeneration in order to delay osteoarthritis. There are various treatment modalities ranging from preventive management, physical therapy, pharmacological, non-pharmacological and surgical treatments exist in current literature. However most of the studies have limited long term follow up and mainly consists of small case series and case reports. This is an up to date concise review discussing the available management options for articular cartilage damage starting to lifestyle modification to pharmacotherapy, physiotherapy, and osteobiologics till various joint preservation techniques that have been in use currently.
