Objective To discuss the effectiveness of breast reconstruction with dual plane prosthesis implantation or anterior pectoralis prosthesis implantation under endoscopy by using prospective comparative study, in order to provide a reference for clinical surgical selection. Methods A total of 54 female patients with breast cancer admitted between January 2023 and December 2023 and met the selection criteria were selected as research subjects. According to the random number table, 54 patients were divided into trial group and control group with 27 cases in each. The patients in the trial group and control group were treated with dual plane prosthesis implantation and anterior pectoralis prosthesis implantation for breast reconstruction after glandular resection under endoscopy, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) in the terms of age, body mass index, affected side, breast clinical stages, molecular typing, disease duration, breast volume of healthy side, breast ptosis of affected side, and preoperative Breast-Q score (social mental health, sexual health, breast satisfaction, chest somatic health). The operation-related indicators (operation time, total volume of drainage within 7 days after operation, extubation time, and hospital stay), occurrence of complications, breast reconstruction efficacy related indicators (transverse and longitudinal distance difference), and the pre- and post-operative differences (change values) of Breast-Q scores for each item were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in operation time, total volume of drainage within 7 days after operation, extubation time, and hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). All patients of the two groups were followed up 3-12 months (mean, 6.3 months). Three patients (11.11%) in trial group and 5 patients (18.52%) in control group experienced complications, and there was no significant difference in the occurrence of complications (P>0.05). At 7 days after operation, the transverse and longitudinal distance differences were significantly less in trial group than in control group (P<0.05). The Breast-Q scores of the two groups at 7 days after operation were significantly higher in all items than those before operation (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in all change values between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionFor patients with breast cancer, comparison of breast reconstruction with anterior pectoralis prosthesis implantation, breast reconstruction with dual plane prosthesis implantation has better breast reconstruction effectiveness and higher safety.
ObjectiveTo compare the short-term effectiveness between arthroscopic cystectomy and internal drainage combined with cystectomy in popliteal cyst.MethodsBetween March 2014 and March 2017, 56 patients with symptomatic popliteal cyst were enrolled in the study, randomized block design was used to divided the patients into trial group (arthroscopic cystectomy combined with internal drainage group, n=28) and control group (arthroscopic internal drainage group, n=28). Excluding those who had incomplete follow-up and received surgery for other diseases postoperatively, 26 patients in the experimental group and 27 patients in the control group were finally enrolled in the study. There was no significant difference in gender, age, side, course of disease, maximum diameter and grade of popliteal cyst, and associated diseases between two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, duration of popliteal ecchymosis and the middle back of calf tenderness were observed postoperatively. The circumference of calf at 1 day, 1 week, and 2 weeks after operation were measured and the differences were calculated with the measurement before operation. Lower extremity venous thrombosis was observed by color doppler ultrasonography at 1 week after operation. The effectiveness was evaluated by Rauschning and Lindgren grading criteria. And MRI was used to observe whether the popliteal cyst disappeared or decreased and measured its maximum diameter at 1 year after operation.ResultsPatients in both groups were followed up 12-14 months, with an average of 12.5 months. The operation time, duration of popliteal ecchymosis, and the middle back of calf tenderness of the trial group were all longer than those in the control group (P<0.05), the differences of circumference of calf at 1 day, 1 week, and 2 weeks after operation of the trial group were greater than those in the control group (P<0.05). Color doppler ultrasonography of the lower extremity at 1 week after operation found that the intermuscular venous thrombosis occurred in 2 cases of the trial group, while no lower extremity thrombosis was found in the control group; and the difference between two groups was not significant (P=0.236). According to the Rauschning and Lindgren grading criteria, there were 16 cases of grade 0, 6 cases of grade 1, and 4 cases of grade 2 in the trial group, and 17 cases of grade 0, 4 cases of grade 1, and 6 cases of grade 2 in the control group at 1 year after operation. There was no significant difference between 2 groups (Z=–1.872, P=0.078). Nine cases (34.62%) of the trial group and 13 cases (48.15%) of the control group still have residual cysts by MRI, the maximum diameter of which was less than 2 cm. The cysts disappeared in the remaining patients in both groups, and there was no recurrence during the follow-up. There was no significant difference in cyst residual rate between 2 groups (χ2=2.293, P=0.852).ConclusionCompared with arthroscopic internal drainage, the short-term effectiveness of the arthroscopic internal drainage combined with cystectomy had no significant improvement, and the operation time was prolonged, the postoperative complications were obviously increased.
Objective To explore the difference in effectiveness between a dynamic rehabilitation protocol and a traditional static rehabilitation protocol after the treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture with channel assisted minimally invasive repair (CAMIR) technique through a prospective comparative trial, aiming to provide a reference for clinically selecting a feasible treatment regimen. Methods Patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture admitted between June 2021 and June 2022 were included in the study, with 60 patients meeting the selection criteria. They were randomly divided into a dynamic rehabilitation group (n=30) and a static rehabilitation group (n=30) using a computer-generated random number method. There was no significant difference in baseline data such as gender, age, body mass index, smoking history, injured side, cause of injury, and disease duration between the two groups (P>0.05). After Achilles tendon anastomosis by using CAMIR technique, the dynamic rehabilitation group implemented early partial weight-bearing training with the assistance of an Achilles heel boot and controlled ankle joint exercises for 6 weeks, while the static rehabilitation group maintained a non-weight-bearing status during this period. Complications in both groups were recorded. At 3 and 6 months after operation, the Achilles tendon total rupture score (ATRS) was used to evaluate the degree of functional limitation of the Achilles tendon in the affected limb, and the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12 scale) was used to assess the patients’ quality of life, including physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores. Results No sural nerve injury occurred during operation in both groups. All patients were followed up 12-18 months (mean, 14 months). The dynamic rehabilitation group had significantly higher ATRS scores at 3 and 6 months after operation compared to the static rehabilitation group (P<0.05). At 3 months after operation, the dynamic rehabilitation group had significantly lower PCS, MCS, and SF-12 total scores compared to the static rehabilitation group (P<0.05). At 6 months, all quality of life scores in the two groups were similar (P>0.05). Two cases (6.6%) in the dynamic rehabilitation group and 5 cases (16.7%) in the static rehabilitation group developed complications, with no significant difference in incidence of complications (P>0.05). Conclusion For acute Achilles tendon rupture, the dynamic rehabilitation protocol after Achilles tendon anastomosis by using CAMIR technique can improve early functional recovery and maintains comparable safety and effectiveness compared to static rehabilitation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of fibrinogen and classical markers of collagen metabolism [carboxy-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen (PICP) and carboxy-terminal cross-linked peptide of type Ⅰ collagen (ICTP)] in peripheral blood and pericardial drainage after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or heart valve replacement (VR), and to evaluate their relationship with postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery. MethodsPatients who underwent CABG and/or VR in the Heart Center of Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital from March to June 2021 were included. Peripheral blood and pericardial drainage fluid samples were collected before surgery and at 0 h, 6 h, 24 h and 48 h after surgery to detect PICP, ICTP and fibrinogen levels, and preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative confounding factors were also collected. PICP, ICTP and fibrinogen levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ResultsA total of 26 patients with 125 blood samples and 78 drainage samples were collected. There were 18 males and 8 females with an average age of 64.04±7.27 years. The incidence rate of POAF was 34.6%. Among the factors, the fibrinogen level in pericardial drainage showed two peaks within 48 h after operation (0 hand 24 h after operation) in the POAF group, while it showed a continuous downward trend in the sinus rhythm (SR) group, and the change trend of fibrinogen in pericardial drainage was significantly different over time between the two groups (P=0.022). Fibrinogen in blood, PICP and ICTP in blood and drainage showed an overall decreasing trend, and their trends over time were not significantly different between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). Univariate analysis showed that fibrinogen at 24 h and 48 h after pericardial drainage, fibrinogen in preoperative blood, PICP immediately after surgery and right atrial long axis diameter were significantly higher or longer in the POAF group than those in the SR group. Multiple regression showed that fibrinogen≥11.47 ng/mL in pericardial drainage 24 h after surgery (OR=14.911, 95%CI 1.371-162.122, P=0.026), right atrial long axis diameter≥46 mm (OR=10.801, 95%CI 1.011-115.391, P=0.049) were independent predictors of POAF. ConclusionThis study finds the regularity of changes in fibrinogen and collagen metabolic markers after CABG and/or VR surgery, and to find that fibrinogen in pericardial drainage 24 h after surgery is a potential novel and predictive factor for POAF. The results provide a new idea for exploring the mechanism of POAF, and provide a research basis for the accurate prediction and prevention of clinical POAF.
ObjectiveTo compare the satisfaction and safety of patients undergoing prepectoral breast reconstruction (PBR) versus subpectoral dual-plane breast reconstruction (SBR) with implants combined with mesh after open total mastectomy for breast cancer. MethodsA prospective cohort study on clinical data of breast cancer patients who underwent open total mastectomy and received either PBR or SBR with implants and mesh for immediate breast reconstruction from June 2021 to October 2022 at West China Hospital of Sichuan University were performed. The pain scores on postoperative days 1, 3, 7, and 14, the postoperative use of analgesics within 14 days, and the incidence of postoperative complications, breast satisfaction, and quality of life during follow-up periods were compared between the two groups. ResultsA total of 62 female patients were included, with 35 in the PBR group, having an average age of (39.6±6.5) years, and 27 in the SBR group, having an average age of (41.5±9.9) years. The pain scores of the SBR group on postoperative days 3 (P=0.032), 7 (P＜0.001), and 14 (P＜0.001) were significantly higher than those of the PBR group, and a higher proportion of patients in the SBR group used analgesics within postopeartive 14 days (P=0.001). The median follow-up time was 28.4 months for the PBR group and 34.9 months for the SBR group. There was no statistical difference in the overall (P=0.583), major (P=0.526), or minor (P=0.532) complication rates between the two groups during follow-up. One (2.9%) patient in the PBR group and 2 (7.4%) patients in the SBR group lost their implants (P=0.575). There were 4 patients of movement deformities and 4 patients of chest muscle pain in the SBR group, whereas no patients in the PBR group had these complications (P=0.031). Encapsular contracture occurred in 5 (14.3%) patients in the PBR group and 11 (40.7%) patients in the SBR group (P=0.023). The incidences of ripple sign (25.7% vs. 3.7%, P=0.047) and implant contour visibility (40.0% vs. 11.1%, P=0.020) were significantly higher in the PBR group than those in the SBR group. At 24 months post-surgery, breast satisfaction scores [(67.9±13.1) points vs. (52.6±16.9) points, P=0.025] and chest function satisfaction [(70.7±13.4) points vs. (58.7±14.3) points, P=0.035] were higher in the PBR group. No local recurrence, distant metastasis, or deaths occurred in the PBR group during the follow-up period, while 1 patient of local recurrence and distant metastasis occurred in the SBR group, with no deaths. ConclusionCompared to SBR, PBR is more in line with the physiological and anatomical levels of the breast, effectively avoiding postoperative movement deformities and chest muscle pain, with a lower incidence of capsular contracture, and higher postoperative breast satisfaction and chest function satisfaction. It is a safe and feasible reconstruction method. For some specific patients, especially those with higher physical activity demands, it is a better reconstruction choice.
ObjectiveTo investigate the morbidity of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients after transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR). MethodsA prospective cohort study enrolled 19 patients who were diagnosed with severe or greater tricuspid regurgitation in West China Hospital from October 11, 2020 to March 1, 2021, and would receive TTVR using LuX-valve for valve replacement. The patients were divided into a PPCs group and a non-PPCs group according to the presence of PPCs. The incidence of PPCs after tricuspid valve intervention between the two groups was compared. ResultsOf 19 patients diagnosed with severe or greater tricuspid regurgitation registered in the database, 17 met the inclusion criteria, including 15 females and 2 males, with a mean age of 68.4±8.0 years. PPCs occurred in 9 of 17 (52.9%) patients. At discharge, compared with the non-PPCs group, the PPCs group had a longer postoperative hospital stay [11.0 (10.0, 17.0) d vs. 7.5 (7.0, 8.0) d, P=0.01], longer ICU stay [72.0 (45.5, 95.0) h vs. 20.5 (16.0, 22.8) h, P<0.01], and more hospital cost [74.3 (65.9, 98.3) thousand yuan vs. 52.6 (44.2, 57.4) thousand yuan, P<0.01]. At 30 days of follow-up, the PPCs group was found that the rate of New York Heart Association cardiac function≥class Ⅲ (66.7% vs. 12.5%, P<0.01) was higher, the six-minute walk distance (170.2±169.3 m vs. 377.9±80.5 m, P<0.01) was shorter and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire heart failure score (40.9±31.2 vs. 80.4±5.8, P<0.01) was less than those of the non-PPCs group. ConclusionPPCs are common in the patients undergoing TTVR and severely affect patients' cardiac function, exercise function and quality-of-life recovery. Proactive preoperative intervention as well as early postoperative rehabilitation management should be provided to those at high risk of PPCs.
Objective A prospective study was conducted to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of three-dimensional printed in vitro guide plates assisted hip arthroscopy in the treatment of Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with Cam-type FAI who met the selection criteria between December 2016 and September 2022 were collected. There were 13 males and 12 females with an average age of 42 years (range, 19-66 years). The disease duration ranged from 3 to 120 months, with an average of 22.2 months. The preoperative range of internal rotation-external rotation was (28.70±4.50)°, α angle was (69.04±0.99)°, visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 6.5±0.2, and modified Harris hip score (HHS) was 50.5±0.7. All patients were treated with hip arthroscopy assisted by three-dimensional printed in vitro guide plate. The occurrence of complications was observed postoperatively, α angle of the affected hip joint was measured on Dunn X-ray film, and the glenoid labrum injury was observed by MRI. The percentage of overlap between the Cam plasty area and the preoperative simulated grinding area was calculated by three-dimensional CT+reconstruction. The effectiveness was evaluated by VAS score and modified HHS score. ResultsPostoperative dorsalis pedis numbness occurred in 1 case, and the symptoms disappeared after 1 month of conventional drug treatment such as neurotrophy. Two cases of perineal skin injury occurred, and healed after symptomatic treatment. There was no male erectile dysfunction, deep incision infection, pulmonary embolism, or other serious complications occurred. The percentage of overlap between the Cam plasty area and the preoperative simulated grinding area was 81.6%-95.3%, with an average of 89.8%. All 25 patients were followed up 6-12 months, with an average of 8 months. At last follow-up, the range of internal rotation-external rotation was (40.10±2.98)°, α angle was (43.72±0.84)°, VAS score was 1.8±0.2, and the modified HHS score was 72.1±1.3, which significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones (P<0.05). ConclusionThe treatment of Cam-type FAI with three-dimensional printed in vitro guide plates assisted hip arthroscopy is safe and feasible, and can achieve good effectiveness.
Objective To compare the environmental microbiological and physical monitoring parameters between the temporary extended medical area and the normal area during the flexible allocation of ward, summarize the rule and find the potential risk points of infection control. Methods From April 10th to 23rd, 2023, prospective environmental microbial monitoring and physical parameter monitoring were carried out in a ward of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, and the monitoring results under different scenarios were compared and analyzed. Results In general, the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) concentration, temperature, and relative humidity in the temporary medical area were better than those in the inpatient rooms (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in the amount of microorganisms detected on the surface of environmental objects or the hands of medical staff (P>0.05). After the start of the temporary medical area, the amount of microorganisms detected on the surface of environmental objects, CO2 concentration, and temperature in the inpatient rooms were higher than those in the temporary medical area (P<0.05), the PM2.5 concentration in the inpatient rooms was lower than that in the temporary medical area (P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the amount of microorganisms detected on the hands of medical staff or relative humidity between the two areas (P>0.05). Compared with those in the same area when the temporary medical area was not started, in the inpatient rooms after the start, the amount of microorganisms detected in the air, CO2 concentration, temperature, and relative humidity were lower (P<0.05), the amount of microorganisms detected on the surface of environmental objects and PM2.5 concentration were higher (P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the amount of microorganisms detected on the hands of medical staff between the two periods (P>0.05); in the temporary medical area after the start, the PM2.5 concentration was higher (P<0.05), the CO2 concentration and temperature were lower (P<0.05), and the differences in the relative humidity and amounts of microorganisms detected on the surface of environmental objects and the hands of medical staff between the two periods were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Regardless of whether the temporary medical area was activated or not, Filamentous fungi had the highest detection rates in air samples, and Staphylococcus epidermidis had the highest detection rates in both environmental surface samples and medical staff hand samples. Conclusion A series of environmental risks such as environmental microbial load and poor ventilation caused by temporary medical areas should be paid attention to.
