ObjectiveThe research progress of new multifunctional bone cement in bone tumor therapy in recent years was reviewed, in order to provide help for the future research of anti-tumor bone cement. Methods The related literature on the treatment of bone tumors with new multifunctional bone cement at home and abroad in recent years was extensively reviewed and summarized. Results The new multifunctional bone cements include those with the functions of photothermotherapy, magnetic thermotherapy, chemoradiotherapy, and antibacterial after operation, which are discussed from the aspects of anti-tumor, drug controlled release, and cytotoxicity. Controlled drug release has been achieved in multifunctional bone cements by adjusting heat and pH or incorporating particles such as chitosan oligosaccharides and γ-cyclodextrin. At present, multifunctional bone cement with hyperthermia, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy has effectively inhibited the local recurrence and distant metastasis of bone tumors. Broadening the application of bone cement for photothermal and magnetic thermal therapy to deeper bone tumors, investigating more precise controlled release of drug-loaded bone cement, and introducing nanoparticles with both thermal conversion and intrinsic enzymatic activities into bone cement for synergistic anti-tumor therapy are promising research directions. ConclusionThe new multifunctional bone cement inhibits bone tumor cells, promotes new bone formation in bone defects, and prevents incision infection after tumor resection. Certain progress has been made in anti-tumor, antibacterial, drug-controlled release, and reduction of cytotoxicity. Expanding the deeper application range of the new multifunctional bone cement, verifying the safety in clinical application, and focusing on the individualized treatment of the new multifunctional bone cement are the problems that need to be solved in the future.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of anatomical locking plate internal fixation combined with coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction in treatment of the Neer type Ⅱb distal clavicle fractures by comparing with the simple anatomical locking plate internal fixation.MethodsThe clinical data of 40 patients with Neer type Ⅱb distal clavicle fractures who met the criteria between February 2013 and January 2017 were analyzed. Eighteen cases were treated with anatomical locking plate internal fixation and coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction by using a suture anchor (reconstruction group), and 22 cases were treated only with anatomical locking plate internal fixation (non-reconstruction group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, injured side, causes of injury, associated injuries, time from injury to operation between 2 groups (P>0.05). The operation time, medical expense, postoperative coracoclavicular distance, Constant-Murley scores of injured side, and complications were recorded and compared between 2 groups.ResultsAll patients were followed up 12-27 months (mean, 16.3 months). One patient in reconstruction group had superficial wound infection. One patient in non-reconstruction group had pullout of screws from the distal fragment and reduction loss at 1 month postoperatively. The operation time and medical expense in reconstruction group significantly increased when compared with those in non-reconstruction group (P<0.05). All fractures in 2 groups achieved bony union at last follow-up. The rate of coracoclavicular distance increase of injured side in non-reconstruction group was significantly higher than that in reconstruction group (t=2.371, P=0.023). The Constant-Murley scores at 1 month, 3 months after operation, and last follow-up were significantly improved when compared with preoperative values in 2 groups (P<0.05), but no significant difference was observed between 2 groups (P>0.05).ConclusionBoth anatomical locking plate internal fixation with and without coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction can achieve good effectiveness for the Neer type Ⅱb distal clavicle fractures. Therefore, the coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction is not necessary, except for comminuted fractures with the length of lateral fragment less than 1 cm or the patients with poor compliance.
Objective To investigate the curative effect of facility negative pressure closed drainage on wounds in earthquake. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 35 patients treated by facility negative pressure closed drainage after debridement in earthquake. The same category patients treated by conventional therapy as the control group. Results Time of facility negative pressure closed drainage was 6-12 days, average 7.5±1.8 days. The woundswere all cured. The wounds closure were performed with skin grafting in 24, with secondary suturing in 4, with regionalflap transposition in 5, and with cross leg flap in 2. There were significant differences in time of secondary closure, timesof dressing and the total time of hospitalization between two groups (Plt;0.01). And there was a significant difference incurative effect of skin grafting between two groups (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Facility negative pressure closed drainage on treating wounds in earthquake is a simple, safe method, and has significant curative effect.
