Abstract
In recent years, polymer-based tissue adhesives (TAs) have been developed as an alternative to sutures to close and seal incisions or wounds owing to their ease of use, rapid application time, low cost, and minimal tissue damage. Although significant research is being conducted to develop new TAs with improved performances using different strategies, the applications of TAs are limited by several factors, such as weak adhesion strength and poor mechanical properties. Therefore, the next-generation advanced TAs with biomimetic and multifunctional properties should be developed. Herein, we review the requirements, adhesive performances, characteristics, adhesive mechanisms, applications, commercial products, and advantages and disadvantages of proteins- and synthetic polymer-based TAs. Furthermore, future perspectives in the field of TA-based research have been discussed.

Topical administration of tranexamic acid reduces postoperative blood loss and inflammatory response in knee arthroscopic arthrolysis: a retrospective comparative study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:269. [PMID: 37020204 PMCID: PMC10074680 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06349-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee arthroscopic arthrolysis serves as an effective treatment for knee arthrofibrosis. However, hemarthrosis is the most common complication in arthroscopic surgery, which has potential adverse effects on postoperative rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of topical tranexamic acid (TXA) in knee arthroscopic arthrolysis. METHODS A total of 87 patients with knee arthrofibrosis who underwent arthroscopic arthrolysis from September 2019 to June 2021 were eligible for this retrospective review. Patients in the TXA group (n = 47) received topical administration of TXA (50 mL, 10 mg/mL) at the end of the surgery, and patients in the control group (n = 40) received no TXA. The postoperative drainage volumes, hematologic levels, inflammatory marker levels, knee range of motion (ROM), visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, Lysholm knee scores and complications were compared between the two groups. The curative effect of each group was calculated according to Judet's criteria. RESULTS The mean drainage volumes on postoperative day (POD) 1 and POD 2, and total drainage volume were significantly lower in the TXA group than in the control group (P < 0.001 for all). The TXA group had significantly lower postoperative CRP and IL-6 levels on POD 1 and POD 2, and at postoperative week (POW) 1 and POW 2 than the control group. The VAS pain scores in the TXA group were significantly lower on POD 1 and POD 2, and at POW 1 and POW 2 than those in the control group (P < 0.001 for all). Patients in the TXA group showed better postoperative ROM and Lysholm knee scores at POW 1 and POW 2. No patient had any complications such as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or infection. The excellent and good rates of knee arthroscopic arthrolysis were comparable between the two groups at the sixth postoperative month (P = 0.536). CONCLUSIONS Topical administration of TXA in knee arthroscopic arthrolysis can reduce postoperative blood loss and inflammatory response, alleviate early postoperative pain, increase early postoperative knee ROM, and improve early postoperative knee function without increased risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative blood management in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become a prime focus of research. Given the morbidity, delayed recovery, and prolonged hospital stay associated with postoperative anemia, various measures have been proposed to reduce perioperative blood loss (PBL). In this trial, we studied the efficacy of bone wax application on the distal cut surface of the femoral neck in reducing PBL during THA through the direct anterior approach. METHODS In a randomized controlled clinical trial, 152 patients underwent THA through the direct anterior approach with use of bone wax (n = 75) or without bone wax (control) (n = 77). The study was triple-blinded. The primary outcomes were apparent PBL (blood in sponges and suction canister) and total PBL on postoperative days (PODs) 3 and 5 (as calculated with the Good and Nadler methods). Transfusion and complications were the secondary outcomes. RESULTS No significant difference was found between the 2 groups in terms of age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, etiology, preoperative hematologic/coagulation profile, anesthesia, intraoperative mean arterial pressure, or operative time. Apparent PBL, total PBL on POD3, and total PBL, in milliliters, on POD5 were significantly lower in the wax group, with median values of 200 (interquartile range [IQR]: 115 to 310) versus 370 (IQR: 195 to 513.7), 505.2 (IQR: 409.2 to 637.6) versus 747 (IQR: 494.6 to 955.4), and 536.7 (IQR: 430.9 to 689.3) versus 767.8 (IQR: 537.8 to 1,021.9) in the wax and control groups, respectively (p < 0.001). No significant differences in the rates of transfusion and complications were found. CONCLUSIONS Bone wax on the cut surface of femoral neck can significantly reduce PBL during THA through the direct anterior approach. Bone wax is accessible and inexpensive and can be considered a routine part of the surgical technique in THA through the direct anterior approach. This intervention has no impact on complication or transfusion rates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level I . See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of trauma-related deaths, and pharmacologic interventions to limit intracranial bleeding should improve outcomes. Tranexamic acid reduces mortality in injured patients with major systemic bleeding, but the effects of antifibrinolytic drugs on outcomes after TBI are less clear. We therefore summarize recent evidence to guide clinicians on when (not) to use antifibrinolytic drugs in TBI patients. RECENT FINDINGS Tranexamic acid is the only antifibrinolytic drug that has been studied in patients with TBI. Several recent studies failed to conclusively demonstrate a benefit on survival or neurologic outcome. A large trial with more than 12 000 patients found no significant effect of tranexamic acid on head-injury related death, all-cause mortality or disability across the overall study population, but observed benefit in patients with mild to moderate TBI. Observational evidence signals potential harm in patients with isolated severe TBI. SUMMARY Given that the effect of tranexamic acid likely depends on a variety of factors, it is unlikely that a 'one size fits all' approach of administering antifibrinolytics to all patients will be helpful. Tranexamic acid should be strongly considered in patients with mild to moderate TBI and should be avoided in isolated severe TBI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the blood loss, transfusion rates and complications between the aspirin and non-aspirin group in unilateral and bilateral total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) with a nested case-control design. METHODS The present study retrospectively selected TKA cases from the Joint Arthroplasty Database at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2019 following strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, and divided them into the aspirin and non-aspirin group based on the use of aspirin preoperatively. Bleeding was measured by blood loss, transfusion rate, drainage volume, hemoglobin (HGB) and hematocrit (HCT), while complications (cardiovascular events, venous thromboembolism events, cerebrovascular events and wound events) were compared between the groups. Student's unpaired t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test were used to compare the differences of continuous variables between the two groups while chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were applied in categorical variables. RESULTS A total of 560 patients with unilateral TKA and 285 patients with bilateral TKA were extracted. Among these, 280 patients used aspirin preoperatively. No other differences were found in demographic and surgical characteristics between the two groups except for the proportion of coronary artery diseases (P < 0.001). For primary outcomes, there was no significant higher blood loss and transfusion rate in the aspirin group, while the drainage of aspirin group was higher than the control group in bilateral TKAs (P = 0.043). The HGB and HCT of the aspirin group was significant lower in both unilateral and bilateral TKAs at POD5 (P < 0.05). For complications, there was a lower vascular related complication rate in aspirin group after unilateral TKAs (P = 0.040), but the wound event rate in aspirin group was higher than the control group (P = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative use of aspirin could prevent vascular related events during the perioperative period of TKA. However, it might also increase the risk of bleeding and wound complications.

[PMID: 35193701 PMCID: PMC8864772 DOI: 10.1186/s43019-022-00137-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background With increasing interest in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), the literature on ERAS in orthopedic surgery is also rapidly accumulating. This review article aims to (1) summarize the components of the ERAS protocol applied to orthopedic surgery, (2) evaluate the outcomes of ERAS in orthopedic surgery, and (3) suggest practical strategies to implement the ERAS protocol successfully. Main body Overall, 17 components constituting the highly recommended ERAS protocol in orthopedic surgery were identified. In the preadmission period, preadmission counseling and the optimization of medical conditions were identified. In the preoperative period, avoidance of prolonged fasting, multimodal analgesia, and prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting were identified. During the intraoperative period, anesthetic protocols, prevention of hypothermia, and fluid management, urinary catheterization, antimicrobial prophylaxis, blood conservation, local infiltration analgesia and local nerve block, and surgical factors were identified. In the postoperative period, early oral nutrition, thromboembolism prophylaxis, early mobilization, and discharge planning were identified. ERAS in orthopedic surgery reduced postoperative complications, hospital stay, and cost, and improved the patient outcomes and satisfaction with accelerated recovery. For successful implementation of the ERAS protocol, various strategies including the standardization of care system, multidisciplinary communication and collaboration, ERAS education, and continuous audit system are necessary. Conclusion The ERAS pathway enhanced patient recovery with a shortened length of stay, reduced postoperative complications, and improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. However, despite the significant progress in ERAS implementation in recent years, it has mainly focused on major surgeries such as arthroplasty. Therefore, further efforts to apply, audit, and optimize ERAS in various orthopedic surgeries are necessary.

Paradoxical relationship between proton pump inhibitors and COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis. World J Clin Cases 2021; 9:2763-2777. [PMID: 33969059 PMCID: PMC8058681 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i12.2763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2020] [Revised: 01/01/2021] [Accepted: 02/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), used to reduce gastric acid secretion, represent one of the most widely used pharmaceutical classes in the world. Their consumption as a risk factor for the evolution of severe forms of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been investigated as well as the mortality of these patients. These risks also appear to be linked to the duration and the dosage. On the other hand, several studies have emerged with regard to the protective or therapeutic effects of these drugs. More and more evidence underlines the immunomodulatory and anti-fibrotic role of PPIs. In addition, their ability to alkalize the contents of endosomes and lysosomes serves as an obstacle to the entry of the virus into the host cells. AIM To identify studies on the relationship between the intake of PPIs and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection, with the main objective of evaluating the outcomes related to severity and mortality. METHODS A literature review was performed in November 2020. The MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Google Scholar databases were searched for all relevant articles published in English on this topic. The search terms were identified by means of controlled vocabularies, such as the National Library of Medicine's MESH (Medical Subject Headings) and keywords. The MESH terms and keywords used were as follows: "COVID-19", "proton pump inhibitors", "PPIs", "SARS-CoV-2", "outcomes", "severity" and "mortality". The inclusion criteria regarding the studies considered in our analysis were: meta-analysis, case-control, hospital-based case-control, population-based case-control, retrospective studies, online survey, as well as cohort-studies, while articles not published as full reports, such as conference abstracts, case reports and editorials were excluded. We tried to summarize and pool all the data if available. RESULTS A total of 9 studies were found that described the use of PPIs, of which only 5 clearly reported the severity and mortality data in SARS-CoV-2 patients. Our pooled incidence analysis of severe events did not differ between patients with and without PPIs (odds ratio 1.65, 95% confidence interval: 0.62-4.35) (P = 0.314), or for mortality (odds ratio 1.77, 95% confidence interval: 0.62-5.03) (P = 0.286). CONCLUSION Detailed and larger case studies are needed to accurately understand the role of PPIs in this viral infection.
