[Efficacy analysis of antibiotic bone cement in treating infectious wound of lower extremity].

Objective: To discuss the clinical effect of antibiotic bone cement in the treatment of infectious wound of lower extremity.

Methods: From January 2016 to January 2019, 28 patients who had infection wounds of lower extremity were treated by antibiotic bone cement, including 21 males and 7 females with age of 34 to 76 (53.8±16.

Arthroscopy-Assisted Reduction in the Management of Isolated Medial Malleolar Fracture.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of arthroscopic reduction percutaneous fixation (ARPF) in the treatment of isolated medial malleolar fracture and compare the results with those of conventional open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).

Methods: This prospective study enrolled 77 patients with isolated medial malleolar fracture between November 2011 and February 2016. The patients were assigned to the ARPF (n = 34) and ORIF (n = 43) groups.

Effect of Induced Membrane Formation Followed by Polymethylmethacrylate Implantation on Diabetic Foot Ulcer Healing When Revascularization Is Not Feasible.

No study has investigated the role of induced membrane (IM) formation in treating diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). This retrospective study was aimed (1) at evaluating the potential role of a two-staged surgical approach, comprising polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) implantation and IM formation, in the treatment of DFU and (2) at comparing the results of those with routine wound debridement in patients with DFUs and nonrevascularized peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Fifty patients with infected DFUs who were not candidates for vascular interventions were enrolled between February 2016 and April 2018 and assigned to the PMMA group ( = 28) and conventional group ( = 22).

Targeting bladder tumor cells in voided urine of Chinese patients with FITC-CSNRDARRC peptide ligand.

Objective: To study the practicality of the FITC-CSNRDARRC peptide ligand (containing the Cys-Ser-Asn-Arg-Asp-Ala-Arg-Arg-Cys nonapeptide) in diagnosing and monitoring bladder tumors.

Materials And Methods: Between March 2011 and September 2011, 80 consecutive patients with radiographic abnormalities, localizing hematuria, other symptoms, or signs were studied using the FITC-CSNRDARRC ligand, urinary cytology (UC), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The sensitivity and specificity of these three technologies were determined and compared.
