To document the presentation of infected non-unions of femur in pediatric and adolescent population and evaluate the outcome of segmental bone transport with the Ilizarov method. ⋯ Majority of the patients were males, aged 9-16 years. Road traffic accidents were the commonest cause of the fractures. The Ilizarov method of segmental bone transport was effective in treating the majority of infected non-unions.

By using DTI image segmentation algorithm investigate the effect of large plants Rhodiola injection on myocardial injury in patients with acute severe CO poisoning (ACOP), and to explore the clinical and CT delayed encephalopathy after ACOP. ⋯ Rhodiola can reduce myocardial vascular endothelial cell injury, improve cardiac function, and protect the damaged myocardium. Meanwhile, after acute CO poisoning delayed encephalopathy early for CT and MRI examination facilitate analysis and prognosis of the disease.

In this study we aimed to investigate the long-term clinical and radiological results, revision rates and causes, and the rate of implant survival in total hip arthroplasty performed using CLS® expansion cup and Spotorno® cementless femoral stem. ⋯ In total hip arthroplasty using a cementless expansive acetabular cup, a 95.6% survival rate is achieved after an average of 14 years, whereas the rate decreases to 85% after 17 years. Even if the incidence of cup breakage is reduced with proper implantation, particle disease and periacetabular osteolysis remains a problem for the long-term survival.

The paper uses the convolutional neural network algorithm in the deep learning algorithm to explore the therapeutic effect of surgical treatment of hyperextension injuries associated with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine. ⋯ Convolutional neural network algorithm in the deep learning algorithm based on the cervical spine posterior longitudinal ligament ossification hyperextension injury was significantly improved after surgery. The less preoperative neurological damage, the postoperative neurological function, the degree of improvement, there was no significant correlation between the degree of spinal stenosis and the improvement of postoperative spinal cord function. For patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, if there are neurological symptoms, early surgical treatment is recommended to relieve the compression, so as to prevent irreversible neurological damage caused by trauma.

Multi-drug resistant methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains that have been isolated frequently worldwide have difficulties in the treatment and therefore alternative choices for the treatment of the infections are required. The aim of the study was to evaluate the interaction of various antimicrobials in combination with vancomycin against MRSA. ⋯ The results of the study indicate that the use of vancomycin in combination with conventional and new generation antibiotics is promising.
