BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rehabilitation exercise combined with extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on knee osteoarthritis (KOA). MATERIAL AND METHODS The clinical data of 217 patients with KOA who underwent ESWT in our hospital from December 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a rehabilitation exercise (RE) group and a non-rehabilitation exercise (NRE) group according to whether they were given RE. The treatment course of the 2 groups was 5 weeks. Pain Visual Analog Scale (VSA), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities knee osteoarthritis index visualized scale (WOMAC), Lequesne index scores, Range of motion (ROM) score, and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores were used to evaluate the treatment effect of the 2 groups of patients. RESULTS After 5 weeks of treatment, the VSA scores (p less then 0.001), WOMAC scores (P less then 0.001) and Lequesne index scores (P less then 0.001) of the RE group and NRE group were significantly lower than those before treatment, while ROM score (P less then 0.001) and JOA score (p=0.006) were significantly increased. Compared with the NRE group, the VAS score (3.14±0.64 vs. 4.78±0.85, P=0.002), WOMAC score (20.37±4.06 vs. 27.82±4.57, P less then 0.001) and Lequesne index score (6.13±1.83 vs. 7.35±2.21, P=0.019) in the RE group were significantly lower than those in the NHE group; however, the ROM score (89.13±9.83 vs. 79.15±6.25, P=0.021) and JOA score (79.53±7.59 vs. 67.85±8.27, P=0.016) were significantly higher than those in the NRE group. CONCLUSIONS RE combined with ESWT has a positive effect on KOA, which may more significantly relieve the patient's clinical symptoms and improve joint function and quality of life.BACKGROUND Liver transplant (LT) remains a life-saving procedure with a high mortality rate. The present study investigated the causes of death and sought to identify predictive factors of mortality during the initial LT hospitalization. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrieved data on first-time adult recipients who underwent LT between November 2017 and October 2019 receiving grafts from donation after citizen's death. The risk factors for mortality during the initial LT hospitalization were confirmed by univariate analysis. We also analyzed the causes of death. RESULTS We enrolled 103 recipients, including 86 males and 17 females, with a mean age of 47.7 years. Thirty-eight (36.9%) recipients were labeled as non-cholestatic cirrhosis-related indications. Approximately 8% of all recipients had diabetes prior to LT. Induction therapy was used in 11 (10.7%) recipients, along with maintenance therapy. The median model for end-stage liver disease score at LT was 32.4 (21.4-38.4). The in-hospital mortality rate of LT recipients was 6.8% (7/103), and infections were responsible for most of the deaths (6/7). The 1 remaining death resulted from primary graft failure. Univariate analysis showed recipients with postoperative pneumonia (p2 mg/dL, and alanine transaminase on day 1 after LT >1800 µmol/L (all P less then 0.001) were much more likely to die. CONCLUSIONS In-hospital mortality of LT recipients was high, due in large part to infections. Acute hepatic necrosis, prolonged post-transplant ICU stays, certain types of postoperative infections, and postoperative liver and kidney dysfunction were potential risk factors for in-hospital mortality of LT recipients.
Case-report and literature review.

To depict main features of a potentially deleterious postoperative spinal fixation complication.

Tisular deposit of metal particles from prosthetic systems-metallosis-is an uncommon complication of spinal fixation surgery. Manifestations as chronic postoperative pain, instrumentation failure, infection, or neurological impairment can be developed, but metallosis often appears as an unexpected intraoperative finding.

A 70-year-old female underwent several spinal fixation procedures due to progressive degenerative adult scoliosis, who developed instrumentation failure. Unexpected metallosis was evidenced extensively surrounding the dislodged construct due to vertebral osteolysis. Instrumentation replacement and debridement of metallotic tissue was performed. We also conduct a literature review for the terms "spinal metallosis" and "spinal corrosion" on the PubMed/MEDLINE database.

Instrumentation removal and metallosis debridement seems to be useful for symptomatic patients, but remains controversial on fixed asymptomatic patients. If solid fusion has not been achieved, extension, and reinforcement of the failed fixation could be required.Level of Evidence 4.

We retrospectively analyzed Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) in 110 patients with prostate cancer operated for metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC).

We aimed to investigate the association between SINS and clinical outcomes after surgery for MSCC in patients with prostate cancer.

The SINS is a useful tool for assessing tumor-related spinal instability, but its prognostic value regarding survival and neurological outcome is still controversial.

We analyzed 110 consecutive patients with prostate cancer who underwent surgery for MSCC. The patients were categorized according to their SINS. Patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC, n = 84) and those with hormone-naïve disease (n = 26) were analyzed separately.

In total, 106 of 110 patients met the SINS criteria for potential instability or instability (scores 7-18). The median SINS was 10 (range 6-15) for patients with CRPC and 9 (7-16) for hormone-naïve patients. In the CRPC group, the SINS was classified as stable (score gery for MSCC as do patients with spinal instability.Level of Evidence 3.
