Objective To establish a three-dimensional finite element analysis model of the knee joint in fresh frozen cadavers, to verify the validity of the model and to simulate the stress distribution characteristics of the patellofemoral joint after combined proximal and distal knee extension rearrangement surgery for recurrent patellar dislocation. Methods One male and one female fresh frozen cadavers (4 knees in total), using voluntary body donations, were used to measure the maximum pressure on the patellofemoral articular surface at each passive flexion angle (0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°) of the normal knee joint and the model after combined proximal and distal knee extension rearrangement surgery for recurrent patellar dislocation with tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance (TT-TG) value >2.00 cm using pressure-sensitive paper, respectively. Then, the 2 freshly frozen cadavers were used to construct three-dimensional finite element models of normal knee joints and postoperative knee joints, and the maximum pressure on the patellofemoral articular surface was measured at various passive flexion angles. The maximum pressure was compared with the measurement results of the pressure-sensitive paper to verify the validity of the three-dimensional finite element model. In addition, the maximum pressure on the patellofemoral joint surface measured by three-dimensional finite element was compared between the normal knee joint and the postoperative knee joint at various passive flexion angles, so as to obtain an effective three-dimensional finite element model for the simulation study of the stress distribution characteristics of the patellofemoral joint after combined proximal and distal knee extension rearrangement surgery for recurrent patellar dislocation. ResultsThe maximum pressure on the patellofemoral joint surface measured by pressure-sensitive paper and three-dimensional finite element measurements were similar at all passive flexion angles in the normal knee joint, with a difference of ?0.08-0.06 MPa; the maximum pressure on the patellofemoral joint surface measured by pressure-sensitive paper and three-dimensional finite element measurements were also similar at all passive flexion angles in the knee after combined proximal and distal knee extension rearrangement surgery, with a difference of ?0.04-0.09 MPa. The maximum pressure on the patellofemoral joint surface measured by three-dimensional finite elements were also similar between the normal knee joint and the knee joint after combined proximal and distal knee extension rearrangement surgery at all passive flexion angles, with a difference of ?0.50-?0.03 MPa. ConclusionThe three-dimensional finite element model of the normal knee joint and the knee joint after combined proximal and distal knee extension rearrangement surgery can accurately and effectively quantify the change in the maximum pressure on the patellofemoral joint surface; for recurrent patellar dislocations with TT-TG value>2.00 cm, the combined proximal and distal knee extension rearrangement surgery can achieve a maximum pressure of the patellofemoral joint surface similar to that of the normal knee joint.

Methods : 76 patients(78±7 years) suffering TURP were divided into two group: group CSEA(38cases) and groupEA(38 cases). The dose of bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia is 10 mg. Blood pressure(BP), heart rate(HR) and anesthesia efficacy were observed before anesthesia, 5, 15 and 30min after anesthesia. Results : BP decreased after anesthesia in two groups than before anesthesia(〖WTBX〗P lt;005). The decreases of BP were less than 20% of basises. There were no significant differents of BP and HR between two groups before and after anesthesia. Conclusion :CSEA with bupivacaine 10 mg is safe and efficient in elderly undergoing TURP.
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of the combination of the anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) flap and other flaps for repairing the extreme circumferential defects on the limb. Methods Between October 2016 and June 2019, 9 patients with the extreme circumferential defects on the limb were admitted, which resulted by degloving injury, including 8 males and 1 female with a median age of 42 years (range, 32-65 years). The etiology involved twist injury in 5 cases, traffic accident in 2 cases, and high voltage electric injury in 2 cases. The location of the defects was left forearm in 2 cases, right forearm in 3, left foot in 3, and right foot in 1. The injected wound bed followed by the exposure of bone, joint, tendon, and blood vessel. The dimension of defects was 25 cm×20 cm to 40 cm×28 cm. The period between the injury and admission was 1-12 hours (mean, 5 hours). All contaminated wounds were taken thorough and radical debridement and covered by the vacuum sealing drainage device during the emergency operation. The ALTP flap and the other one flap were tailored according to the dimension of the wound when the wound surface became granulating, including the thoracodorsal artery perforator (TAP) flap in 3 cases, superficial inferior epigastric artery perforator flap in 3 cases, superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap in 3 cases. And the donor site was primary closure. Results After operation, all the flaps survived except 1 case of partial necrosis at the edge of TAP flap and healed after secondary skin grafting, and the wounds in the donor and recipient areas healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 14-24 months (mean, 16 months). The shape of the flap was satisfactory and the texture was soft. There was no abnormal hair growth and obvious pigmentation during the follow-up. Only linear scar was left in the donor area, there was no complication such as abdominal wall hernia, and the activity of hip and knee was not affected. The functional reconstruction of upper limb and ankle was satisfactory, and the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) score was excellent in 4 cases and good in 1 case; the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Association (AOFAS) score was excellent in 3 cases and good in 1 case. Conclusion ALTP flap combined with different flaps can reconstruct the circumferential extreme defects after limb damage in one-stage, which can achieve limb salvage to the greatest extent.
ObjectiveTo investigate the ultrasonic changes of hepatic veins and splenic veins during various immune stages with different CD4+T lymphocyte count.
MethodsFifty AIDS/HIV patients with chronic viral hepatitis treated between January 2010 and October 2013 were designated as the case group, and another 50 patients with simple chronic viral hepatitis were regarded as the controls. For patients in the case group, we observed their ultrasonic changes of hepatic and splenic veins during various immune stages with different CD4+T lymphocyte count. The results of observation and clinical laboratory analysis were compared.
ResultsAbnormal ultrasonic changes were detected in the liver in various immune stages based on the CD4+T lymphocyte count, and the main manifestations of these changes included unclear portal and splenic vein distal direction, wide diameter, slowed blood flow velocity, and disappearance of fluctuations of blood flow spectrum; and unclear hepatic vein distal direction, low and three-phase, and negative blood flow spectrum with the disappearance of windows were also detected. There were no statistical differences between the case group and the control group when the CD4+T cell count was over 300/mm3, and a few indexes were significantly different when the CD4+T cell count was between 100 and 200/mm3. However, the differences of almost all indexes were significant when the CD4+T cell count was below 100/mm3.
ConclusionPatients with HIV/AIDS combined with chronic viral hepatitis have ultrasonographic abnormalities of intrahepatic and splenic veins, which is more obvious as the CD4+T cell count declines. Overall consideration of intrahepatic vein and splenic vein ultrasonic indicators helps clinical assessment of disease development in patients with HIV/AIDS combined with chronic viral hepatitis.
ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of different surgical approaches for Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG). MethodsThe clinical data of the patients with Siewert type Ⅱ AEG who received sugeries in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Gansu Provincial People's Hospital from August 2014 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach: a transabdominal group (transabdominal diaphragmatic esophageal hiatus approach) and a combined group (thoracoabdominal combined with right thoracic approach). Perioperative clinical data and postoperative follow-up data were collected to compare the short- and long-term efficacy of the two groups. Results A total of 87 patients were enrolled. There were 48 patients (31 males and 17 females, with an average age of 60.85±8.47 years) in the transabdominal group, and 39 patients (25 males and 14 females, with an average age of 61.13±8.51 years) in the combined group. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the baseline indicators such as gender, age, tumor size and stage (P>0.05). Compared with the combined group, the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative bed rest time, postoperative total drainage volume were shorter or less, and the visual analogue scale score on the 3rd day after surgery were lower in the transabdominal group (P<0.05). However, the total number of lymph nodes dissected, the number of thoracic lymph nodes dissected and the number of positive thoracic lymph nodes in the combined group were larger than those in the transabdominal group, and the differences were statistically significant (P=0.001). The median survival time in the combined group and transabdominal group was 25.85 months and 20.86 months, respectively. The 3-year overall survival rate of the combined group was higher than that of the transabdominal group (46.2% vs. 38.9%, χ2=5.995, P=0.014). However, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in the postoperative catheter time, esophageal and gastric resection margin distance, number of abdominal lymph nodes dissected, number of positive abdominal lymph nodes, or incidence of postoperative complications (P>0.05). ConclusionFor patients with Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction, thoracoabdominal combined with right thoracic approach is safe and effective, and has advantages in thoracic lymph node dissection, bringing more benefits to the patients, so it is recommended to be popularized in clinical practice.
Objective To observe and explore the effects of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs)-hyaluronic acid (HA) composite on heal ing of wound combined with radiation injury. Methods The ADSCs were harvested from the fat tissue in groin of 10 inbred Sprague Dawley (SD) rats and were isolated and cultured by enzyme digestion. The ADSCs-HA composite wasprepared with ADSCs (5 × 106 cells/mL) at passage 6 and HA (10 mg/mL). Thirty inbred SD rats, 15 males and 15 females, were randomly divided into groups A (n=10), B (n=10), and C (n=10). A 2 cm × 2 cm full-thickness skin defect was made on the rat back before 20 Gy 60Co radiation exposure. One week after debridement, wounds were treated by petrolatum gauze in group A as the control group, by HA (0.4 mL) and petrolatum gauze in group B, and by ADSCs-HA composite (0.4 mL) and petrolatum gauze in group C. The microvessel density (MVD) and the distribution of CD90 positive cells were observed at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks. Results The wound heal ing was slower, and wound did not heal at 4th week and still filled with granulation tissue in group A; the wound heal ing of group B was faster than that of group A, and the wound did not heal completely with depression in the center at 4th week; the wound healed completely with epidermil izated surface and no obvious depression at 4th week in group C. The histological observation showed that MVD was significantly higher in group C than in groups A and B at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd weeks (P lt; 0.05), and in group B than in group A at the 3rd week (P lt; 0.05); MVD was significantly higher in groups B and C than in group A (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference was found between groups B and C (P gt; 0.05) at 4th week. No CD90 positive cell was found in groups A and B; CD 90 positive cells were observed in group C and gradually decreased with time. Conclusion ADSCs-HA composite can accelerate heal ing of wound combined with radiation injury by promoting and controll ing wound angiogenesis.
Objective To summarize the research progress of surgical treatment for anterior shoulder dislocation and combined injuries. Methods The related literature was reviewed, and the surgical treatment options for the anterior shoulder dislocation and its combined injuries were summarized. Results Anterior shoulder dislocation can combine with anteroinferior capsular ligament complex injury (Bankart injury), bony Bankart defect, and Hill-Sachs lesion. For Bankart and bony Bankart injuries, arthroscopic repair or coracoid osteotomy combined with bony graft reconstruction can be performed. For Hill-Sachs lesion, conservative treatment, soft tissue repair, or bony reconstruction should be selected based on the extent of the bone defect. For bipolar injury, the Bankart repair, Remplissage, or arthroplasty should be selected based on the extent of the glenoid defect. Conclusion With the development of arthroscopy and the improvement of the surgical concept, there is a complete set of surgical options for various injuries of the anterior shoulder dislocation. When choosing a surgical procedure, the patient’s specific injury and age, exercise level, and other relating factors should be comprehensively assessed in order to achieve the best results.
Despite of the progress in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), there are still factors that hinder the improvement of the efficacy of treatment: there is a lack of an accurate and easy-to-use system for early severity prediction; the multidisciplinary collaboration mechanism needs to be further optimized; there is no clinical efficacy evaluation system for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM); the therapeutic targets of TCM are unclear; the effector substances are unknown; and the research and development of new medicines is still difficult. In order to further reduce the mortality of SAP and realize the goal of improving the efficacy, we should strengthen the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, multidisciplinary collaboration, and improve the treatment levels; as well as carry out basic and clinical research oriented to clinical value. We will also promote the innovative development of combined Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of SAP by elucidating the mechanism, validating the efficacy and commercializing the achievements. In view of SAP, a major and difficult disease, we should insist on the principle of integrity and innovation, the synergy of Chinese and Western medicines and the complementarity of advantages, and promote the innovation and development of combined Chinese and Western medicines in the treatment of SAP, so as to further reduce the morbidity and mortality and to alleviate the burden of the disease.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the accuracy of T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) in screening newborns for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). MethodsThe PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect the diagnostic accuracy studies related to the objects from inception to October 26, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies using the QUADAS-2 scale. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 15.0 and Meta-Disc 1.4 software. ResultsA total of 18 studies involving 6 243 718 neonates were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the pooled sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnosis odds ratio (DOR) were 0.97 (95%CI 0.92 to 0.99), 1.00 (95%CI 1.00 to 1.00), 1447.05 (95%CI 528.49 to 3962.11), 0.13 (95%CI 0.08 to 0.22) and 11698.21 (95%CI 2853.44 to 47958.98), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC) was 0.97. ConclusionThe application of TRECs in screening neonatal SCID has high accuracy, which is helpful for early diagnosis of SCID. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
Objective To evaluate the correlation between pelvic incidence (PI) angle, hip deflection angle (HDA), combined deflection angle (CDA) and osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) after femoral neck fracture, in order to explore early predictive indicators for ONFH occurrence after femoral neck fracture. Methods A study was conducted on patients with femoral neck fractures who underwent cannulated screw internal fixation between December 2018 and December 2020. Among them, 208 patients met the selection criteria and were included in the study. According to the occurrence of ONFH, the patients were allocated into ONFH group and non-NOFH group. PI, HDA, and CDA were measured based on the anteroposterior X-ray films of pelvis and axial X-ray films of the affected hip joint before operation, and the differences between the two groups were compared. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the value of the above imaging indicators in predicting the occurrence of ONFH. ResultsAmong the 208 patients included in the study, 84 patients experienced ONFH during follow-up (ONFH group) and 124 patients did not experience ONFH (non-ONFH group). In the non-ONFH group, there were 59 males and 65 females, the age was 18-86 years (mean, 53.9 years), and the follow-up time was 18-50 months (mean, 33.2 months). In the ONFH group, there were 37 males and 47 females, the age was 18-76 years (mean, 51.6 years), and the follow-up time was 8-45 months (mean, 22.1 months). The PI, HDA, and CDA were significantly larger in the ONFH group than in the non-ONFH group (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the critical value of PI was 19.82° (sensitivity of 40.5%, specificity of 86.3%, P<0.05); the critical value of HDA was 20.94° (sensitivity of 77.4%, specificity of 75.8%, P<0.05); and the critical value of CDA was 39.16° (sensitivity of 89.3%, specificity of 83.1%, P<0.05). Conclusion There is a correlation between PI, HDA, CDA and the occurrence of ONFH after femoral neck fracture, in which CDA can be used as an important reference indicator. Patients with CDA≥39.16° have a higher risk of ONFH after femoral neck fracture.
