BackgroundA meta-analysis was performed to assess the association between healing rate, avascular necrosis (AVN) of femoral head and two reductions-open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) for femoral neck fracture.MethodsA literature-based search was conducted to identify all relevant studies published before September 10, 2013. The odd ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used for estimating the effects of the two reduction methods. Data were independently extracted by two investigators who reached a consensus on all of the items. The heterogeneity between studies was examined by χ2-based Q statistic. Egger’s regression analysis was used to evaluate publication bias. Statistical analysis was performed by Stata 10.0 software.ResultsWe examined 14 publications. The results of the present meta-analysis showed that AVN of femoral head were significant associated with the two reductions (CRIF vs. ORIF, OR = 1.746, 95% CI 1.159-2.628, p = 0.008), while the healing rate were not (CRIF vs. ORIF, OR = 0.853, 95% CI 0.573-1.270, p = 0.433).ConclusionThe present meta-analysis indicated the risk of AVN of femoral head was significant higher after CRIF fixation compared with ORIF, but no association between the healing rate and the two reductions for femoral neck fracture.

“…A total of eleven studies [ 11 , 12 , 14 , 16 - 18 , 20 - 24 ] met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the meta-analysis between AVN and the two reductions (Table 2 ), which contained 478 patients of ORIF and 505 patients of CRIF. Egger regression analysis indicated no publication bias (p = 0.257).…”

“…Then, the containers were placed in the vacuum chamber up to the pressure of 5 mm Hg. [ 18 19 20 ] After 14 days and replacing the acetone by resin, the samples were taken out of the vacuum chamber. Impregnation was checked by watching the bubble formation on the surface of the resin and by means of a vacuum gauge.…”

Plastination of decalcified bone by a new resin technique

et al. 2014

Background:The scope of this study was to preserve whole detailed structure of dissected and decalcified bones, taken from used cadavers, by a new plastination technique.Materials and Methods:Specimens we used in this study were sheep femurs and human bones including pelvis, femur, tibia, and fibula. Bones, at first, fixed with 5% formalin and were decalcified with 5% nitric acid, and then were fixed again and washed under the tap water. The resulted flexible bones were dehydrated in −25°C acetone and degreased them in +25°C acetone. Then, the experimental and control specimen were placed in the vacuum chamber for forced impregnation with our new flexible unsaturated polyester resin (UP89 method) and silicon resin (S10 method), respectively. Finally, the strength and flexibility of plastinated decalcified specimens were investigated by tensometer, and the weight diversity was measured by digital balance.Results:Plastinated bones prepared by this technique were found to be dried, non-fragile, durable, odorless, non-greasy, and demonstrating all detailed structures of the bones. Tensile and weight tests results indicated that plastinated decalcified femurs have owned higher flexibility and strength but lesser weight than plastinated undecalcified femurs. The characteristics of both experimental and control groups of plastinated decalcified specimens were found to have no significant difference.Conclusions:Our synthesized resin found to be much more economical than conventional plastination method. In more details, properties of these new products were the same as, S10 method, from points of strength, flexibility and weight, but, since the money cost for producing them was about one fifth that of S10 method.

Background: Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a relatively infrequent urologic condition in women, but can cause bothersome symptoms. In this article, transurethral incisions of the bladder neck (TUIBN) and urethra in the treatment of anatomical BOO were assessed. Materials and Methods: A total of 23 women who referred with chronic lower urinary tract symptoms, urinary retention, and difficulty in micturition were assessed. Diagnose was made on the basis of urethrocystoscopy, voiding cystourethrography, and urodynamic studies. All patients underwent transurethral incisions of bladder neck contracture or site of observed urethral stenosis at 3- and 9-o'clock positions. Clinical improvements and complications were assessed by follow-up examination and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and quality of life (QOL) scoring before and after intervention. Results: All patients were followed for at least 6 months after intervention. Follow-up data were available for 19 (90.5%), 13 (61.9%), and 7 (33.3%) of patients at 12, 24, and 48 months' follow-up, respectively. During the follow-up period, the mean IPSS and QOL significantly changed from 26.84 to 10.74 and 4.76 to 2.32, respectively ( P < 0.001). Approximately 66.7% had satisfactory outcomes, 47.7% patients after first, and 19.1% after second TUI. About9.5% patients developed new onset of stress urinary incontinence, one of them had indications of surgical intervention, and thus, symptoms were relieved by mid-urethral sling. Conclusion: Transurethral incision of bladder neck and urethra seems to be effective in relieving urinary symptoms of anatomical BOO in women. Complications may rarely occur and can be fully managed.
