  • Effects of cryopreservation on biological characteristics of tendon-derived stem cells in rat patellar tendon

    ObjectiveTo explore the effects of cryopreservation on the cell survival rate, cell viability, early apoptosis, migration ability, and tendon-related marker expression of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) in rat patellar tendons.MethodsThe patellar tendon tissues were harvested from 12 4-month-old male Sprague Dawley rats; 12 patellar tendon tissues from 6 rats were cryopreserved (the experimental group), and the other 12 patellar tendon tissues were not treated (the control group). The patellar tendons were digested with 0.3% type I collagenase to obtain nucleated cells. The survival rate of nucleated cells was detected by trypan blue exclusion assay, and colony-forming ability by crystal violet staining. TDSCs were isolated and cultured to passage 3 (P3). The cell viability of TDSCs was detected by Alamar Blue method, the early apoptosis by Annexin V-FITC/PI assay, the cell migration ability by Transwell method, and the mRNA expressions of tendon-related markers [collagen type I (Col1α1), scleraxis (Scx), and tenomodulin (Tnmd)] by real-time quantitative PCR.ResultsThe survival rate of nucleated cells was 91.00%±3.63% in the control group, and was 61.65%±4.76% in the experimental group, showing significant difference (t=12.010, P=0.000). The formation of the primary nucleated cell clones was observed in 2 groups. At 12 days, the number of colonies forming of the experimental group [(8.41±0.33)/1 000 nucleated cells] was significantly lower than that of the control group [(15.19±0.47)/1 000 nucleated cells] (t=28.910, P=0.000). The percentage of TDSCs in the active nucleated cells in the experimental group (1.37%±0.09%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.67%±0.10%) (t=5.508, P=0.003). The growth trend of TDSCs (P3) in the 2 groups was consistent within 14 days. There was no significant difference in absorbance (A) value between 2 groups at each time point (P>0.05). The early apoptotic rate of TDSCs was 1.67%±0.06% in the experimental group and was 1.63%±0.06% in the control group, showing no significant difference (t=0.707, P=0.519). Under microscope, TDSCs adhered to the lower chamber of the Transwell chamber; the number of cells was 445.00±9.70 in the experimental group and was 451.50±12.66 in the control group, showing no significant difference (t=0.998, P=0.342). The relative mRNA expressions of Col1α1, Scx, and Tnmd were 3.498±0.065, 0.062±0.002, and (4.211±0.211)×10–5 in the experimental group and were 3.499±0.113, 0.062±0.001, and (4.341±0.274)×10–5 in the con-trol group, showing no significant difference (t=0.013, P=0.991; t=0.042, P=0.969; t=0.653, P=0.549).ConclusionThe survival rate of nucleated cells in cryopreserved rat tendon tissues is lower, but a large number of active TDSCs, and its cell viability, early apoptosis rate, migration ability in vitro, and cell tenogenic differentiation ability are remained.

  • Risk factors analysis for postoperative mortality of elder patients with intertrochanteric fractures

    ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for postoperative mortality of elder patients with intertrochanteric fractures.MethodsPatients with intertrochanteric fractures who underwent proximal femoral interlocking intramedullary nail fixation between January 2014 and December 2015 were enrolled in the study. Among them, 135 patients who met the selection criteria were included in the study, and the clinical data were collected, including gender, age, time from admission to surgery, comorbidities, and preoperative hemoglobin, albumin, and total lymphocyte count (TLC), and nutritional status. Univariate analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to screen the risk factors for postoperative mortality.ResultsTwenty-seven patients (20.0%) died within 2 years after surgery, and 16 (11.9%) died within 1 year after surgery. Univariate analysis showed that age, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, number of comorbidities, preoperative hemoglobin and albumin levels were the influencing factors of postoperative mortality in elder patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with proximal femoral interlocking intramedullary nail fixation (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that age (≥80 years), combined more than 2 medical diseases, and preoperative albumin (<35 g/L) were the independent risk factors for postoperative mortality (P<0.05).ConclusionTo improve the clinical outcomes, perioperative risk should be comprehensively evaluated and perioperative management strengthened in the elder patients with intertrochanteric fractures, especially those with advanced age, more combined diseases, and low albumin, for the high postoperative mortality.

  • Perioperative changes of serum interleukin 6 levels in elderly male patients with intertrochanteric fracture

    Objective To investigate the perioperative changes in serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels in elderly male patients with intertrochanteric fractures, and provide evidence for inflammatory control in this patient population. Methods The clinical data of 40 male patients aged more than 60 years with intertrochanteric fractures who met the selection criteria between January 2021 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 25 non-osteoporosis patients (T value>−2.5, group A) and 15 osteoporosis patients (T value≤−2.5, group B). In addition, 40 healthy men aged more than 60 years old were included as controls (group C) according to the age matching rule. There was no significant difference in age, smoking history, drinking history, body mass index, complications (hypertension and diabetes), alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and total protein among the 3 groups (P>0.05). Serum samples were collected from group C subjects and from groups A and B patients preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, and 7. IL-6 levels were measured using ELISA assay. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between IL-6 levels and T values at various time points in groups A and B. Postoperative complications during hospitalization and 1-year mortality rates were recorded for groups A and B. Results Preoperative IL-6 levels were significantly higher in groups A and B than in group C (P<0.05), with group B being significantly higher than group A (P<0.05). In groups A and B, IL-6 levels increased significantly on postoperative day 1 compared to preoperative levels and then gradually decreased, approaching preoperative levels by postoperative day 7. IL-6 levels in group B were significantly higher than those in group A at all postoperative time points (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that IL-6 levels were negatively correlated with T values at all perioperative time points in all patients from groups A and B (P<0.05). Complications occurred in 4 patients (16.0%) in group A, including 2 cases of pulmonary infection, 1 case of urinary tract infection, and 1 case of heart failure, and in 3 patients (20.0%) in group B, including 2 cases of pulmonary infection and 1 case of gastrointestinal bleeding. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (χ2=0.104, P=0.747). There were 2 cases (8.0%) and 4 cases (26.7%) died within 1 year after operation in groups A and B, respectively, and there was no significant difference in 1-year mortality rates between the two groups (χ2=2.562, P=0.109). Conclusion Serum IL-6 levels significantly increase in the early postoperative period in elderly male patients with intertrochanteric fractures, especially in those with osteoporosis. Monitoring the inflammatory state and promptly controlling the inflammatory response during the perioperative period, may reduce complications and improve postoperative survival in this patient population.

  • Clinical application of multidisciplinary team co-management in geriatric hip fractures

    Objective To observe the clinical application of multidisciplinary team (MDT) treatment in the management of geriatric hip fractures and evaluate its effectiveness. Methods The clinical data of 76 elderly patients with hip fracture managed by MDT approach between August 2016 and February 2018 (MDT group) were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 102 patients managed by traditional orthopedics approach between January 2014 and December 2015 (conventional group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, fracture type, surgical procedure, and other general data between the two groups (P>0.05). However, the number of comorbidities in the MDT group was significantly higher than that in the conventional group (t=6.295, P=0.000), and the proportion of the number of comorbidities between the two groups was also significantly different (χ2=28.442, P=0.000). The consultation rate and transfer rate, time to surgery, rate of surgery within 2 or 3 days, operation time, postoperative hospitalization stay, length of hospitalization stay, hospitalization expense, rate of loss to follow-up, and mortality during hospitalization, 30-day mortality, 90-day mortality, and 1-year mortality after operation were compared between the two groups. Results The rates of total consultations of the conventional group and the MDT group were 56.86% (58/102) and 56.58% (43/76), respectively, and the rates of total transferred patients were 15.69% (16/102) and 15.79% (12/76), respectively, with no significant differences (P>0.05). Among them, the proportion of patients who transferred into intensive care unit (ICU) in conventional group was significantly higher than that in MDT group and the rates of patients who received geriatric consultation or transferred into geriatric department in MDT group were both significantly higher than those in conventional group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in rates of other department consultation or transfer between the two groups (P>0.05). The time to surgery, operation time, postoperative hospitalization stay, and length of hospitalization stay in MDT group were significantly less than those in conventional group, but the proportion of patients who received surgery within 3 days in MDT group was significantly higher than that in conventional group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients who received surgery within 2 days (χ2=2.027, P=0.155). The hospitalization expenses of total patients, femoral neck fracture, and intertrochanteric fracture subgroups in MDT group were all significantly higher than those in conventional group (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in hospitalization expense of subtrochanteric fracture subgroup between the two groups (Z=−1.715, P=0.086). The rate of loss to follow-up in conventional group and MDT group was 6.86% (7/102) and 3.95% (3/76), respectively, with no significant difference (χ2=0.698, P=0.403). The mortalities at hospitalization, 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year after operation in conventional group were 0, 1.05% (1/95), 3.16% (3/95), and 7.37% (7/95), respectively, and in MDT group were 0, 0, 2.74% (2/73), 6.85% (5/73), respectively, showing no significant differences in mortalities between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion MDT model in the management of geriatric hip fractures has been shown to reduce time to surgery, postoperative hospitalization stay, length of hospitalization stay, operation time, and the proportion of patients who received ICU consultation or transferred into ICU. Furthermore, MDT can improve the capacity for developing operations for patients with complex medical conditions and make medical resources used more rationally.
