The feasibility of ultrasound Graf method in screening infants and young children with congenital hip dysplasia and follow-up of treatment effect.

Background: Congenital hip dysplasia is a common limb deformity in infants and young children. This study aimed to clarify the feasibility of ultrasound Graf method in screening congenital hip dysplasia of infants and young children, and its application value in follow-up treatment.

Methods: A total of 1,313 infants and young children with clinically suspected congenital hip dysplasia in our hospital from December 2016 to January 2018 were selected as the participants and were examined by ultrasound Graf method.

Remifentanil repairs cartilage damage and reduces the degradation of cartilage matrix in post-traumatic osteoarthritis, and inhibits IL-1β-induced apoptosis of articular chondrocytes via inhibition of PI3K/AKT/NF-κB phosphorylation.

Background: Remifentanil (RFT) is an opioid analgesic with a unique pharmacokinetic profile, and plays an important role in the intra- and post-operative periods. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTO) is a particular type of osteoarthritis (OA) that occurs secondary to a traumatic injury. In the present study, we investigated the effects of RFT both and .

Oxytocin ameliorates bone cancer pain by suppressing toll-like receptor 4 and proinflammatory cytokines in rat spinal cord.

Bone cancer pain is considered to be mechanistically unique compared with inflammatory or neuropathic pain states. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a transmembrane receptor protein which has been reported to be involved in neuropathic pain. However, the role of TLR4 in bone cancer pain is still unclear.

A novel hybrid fixation (percutaneous anterior pelvic bridge with K-wire) for the treatment of traumatic pelvic ring injury: A prospective study.

Background: The aim of the study was to introduce a novel percutaneous technique for the treatment of pelvic ring injuries using a percutaneous anterior pelvic bridge (PAPB) with K-wire.

Methods: From December 2010 to November 2016, a prospective study of 86 patients with anterior pelvic ring fracture (42 utilizing PAPB with K-wire and 44 utilizing PAPB). Patient data was retrieved from electronic charts.

The comparative study of clinical efficacy and safety of baclofen vs tolperisone in spasticity caused by spinal cord injury.

In the present study we compared the clinical efficacy and safety of baclofen vs tolperisone in spasticity caused by spinal cord injury. A total of 150 patients were enrolled in the present study and were divided into two groups with 75 patients in each group, receiving baclofen or tolperisone, respectively. We used Modified Ashworth Scale, Medical research council scale, Barthel Index, and Coefficient of efficacy to measure clinical efficacy.

[Case-control study on the treatment of Hawskins type II fractures of talar neck with minimally invasive or traditional approach].

Objective: To compare the differences of radiographical and functional outcomes between traditional and minimally invasive approach in treating Hawskins type I fractures of the talar neck.

Methods: From February 2000 to February 2008, 37 patients underwent reduction and internal fixation using two different approaches. In minimally invasive approach group, there were 16 males and 2 females, ranging in age from 20 to 47 years, averaged (35.
