Context: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are a rare but highly destructive complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Nursing plays an important role in preventing postoperative infections in patients, but different nursing modes have different rates of postoperative infections.
Objective: The study intended to explore the effects of "encouragement, education, exercise, employment, and evaluation" (5E) rehabilitation nursing on the prevention of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) after TKA.

Objective: To explore the effect of Kümmell's disease with kyphosis on the sagittal morphology of the spine-pelvis.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 34 patients of Kümmell's disease with kyphosis (Kümmell group) admitted from August 2015 to September 2022, including 10 males and 24 females with an average age of (71.1±8.
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of lateral rectus abdominis incision combined with winged calcaneal plate on pelvic and acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral body.
Methods: From January 2017 to April 2021, 21 cases of pelvic and acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral bodies were retrospectively analyzed, including 12 males and 9 females. The age ranged from 21 to 73 years with an average of (43.
Objective: To investigate the risk factors of vertebral refracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoprotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs), and to provide reference for clinical prevention.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 228 OVCFs patients who met the inclusion criteria admitted from November 6, 2013 to December 14, 2018. There were 35 males and 193 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 3∶20, and aged 58 to 91 years with an average of (69.
Background: Cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a progressive disease. Posterior decompression surgery is reported to be an effective and comparatively safe procedure with few complications for treatment of patients with myelopathy caused by OPLL. However, some patients require revision surgery because of late neurological deterioration due to OPLL progression or kyphotic changes in cervical alignment.

The present study examined the anti-rheumatoid arthritis efficacy of SB on collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis (CIA) in a rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-eight rats were divided into 4 groups: Control rats treated with saline (Group I), rats subjected to CIA induction by intradermal injection of bovine collagen II type at the tail (Group II), and rats subjected to CIA and supplemented with either 20 or 40 mg/kg of SB for 28 days (group III or IV).

Methods: The male albino Wistar strain rats were used as an experimental model, and adeno associated virus (AAV) was administered in the T12 section of spinal cord ten days prior to the injury. Basso Beattie Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor rating scale was used to determine the recovery of the hind limb during four weeks post-operation.
Objective: To investigate how the anatomy of variant atlas vertebra impacts on the strategy used to place pedicle screws used to treat atlantoaxial instability.
Methods: The study enrolled patients with cervical instability who had a posterior arch pedicle height <3.5 mm at the anchor point, a vertebral artery groove height <3.
The blood loss during total hip arthroplasty is difficult to manage and there is no consensus about the effect of bipolar sealer used during operation. Thus, a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of blood loss using bipolar sealer after total hip arthroplasty (THA).Relevant literature of comparisons of bipolar sealer after THA for blood loss were searched for in Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Google scholar from their inception to October, 2015.

Methods: The clinical data of 155 patients with instability of occipitocervical treated by posterior atlanto axial vertebra internal fixation were respectively analyzed from September 2005 to January 2011. There were 68 males and 87 females, ranging in age from 6 to 75 years old with an average of 45.
Objective: To investigate therapeutic effects of arthroscopic treatment for acute patellar dislocation.
Methods: From May 2002 to March 2009, 36 patients with acute patellar dislocation were treated with arthroscopy, including taking out of the free cartilage chips, relaxing lateral retinaculum and tight suturing medial retinaculum. Among the patients, 6 patients were males and 30 patients were females, ranging in age from 12 to 30 years (averaged, 20.
Objective: To prepare resveratrol solid lipid nanoparticles (Res-SLN) and investigate its physical and chemical speciality and anticancer effects in vitro.
Methods: Res-SLN was prepared by the solvent emulsification-evaporation method. Its morphology, particle size and zata potential were examined by transmission electron microscope and laser granularity equipment.
