BACKGROUND:The incidence of complications folowing conventional repairing for the ruptured tendon is up to 73%, such as delayed healing, adhesion, secondary rupture. These complications severely affect ankle joint function of the patients. OBJECTIVE:To reduce the complications folowing the repair and investigate the role of hernia repair materials in the repairing of ruptured Achiles tendon. METHODS:Eleven patients who underwent repair of ruptured Achiles tendon were retrospectively studied. Among them there were eight males and three females with the mean age of 42 years (26-58 years). Three cases were injured in left side and eight cases were in right side; four cases were open injury by sickle-induced damage and seven cases were closed injury by exercise-induced damage. The hernia repair materials after pruning was applied with a “wrap” method to strengthen the anastomosis repair of Achiles tendon after the conventional repair surgery had been completed. At the time of folow-up, al patients were observed for postoperative local appearance and function recovery, and assessed with Arner Lindholm standards. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The folow-up interval was 6-45 months (average 24.5 months). Two cases were lost to folow-up. According to the Arner Lindholm standards, the effects were excelent in seven cases (78%) and good in two cases (22%). Local appearance and function recovered wel postoperatively, and no complications occurred such as wound infection, secondary rupture and so on. A “wrap” method with hernia repair materials is suggested to strengthen the anastomosis repair of ruptured Achiles tendon after the conventional repair surgery is completed, it can significantly promote the healing of Achiles tendon ruptured end anastomosis, prevent Achiles tendon recurrent ruptures, local adhesion and infection.

To improve the sensitivity of molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensors, a Pd nanoparticles-modified molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film for the determination of trimethoprim (TMP) was developed by thermal polymerization with N, N′-methylene diacrylamide as a functional monomer, Pd nanoparticle as a dopant and ethylene glycol maleic rosinate acrylate as a crosslinking agent.The morphologies and chemical structures of the Pd nano-materials and the imprinted films were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively.The electrochemical properties of the nano-doped and undoped MIP sensors were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.Results showed that the morphologies and chemical structures and the electrochemical properties of the doped molecularly imprinted sensor were remarkably different from those of the undoped imprinted sensor.Linear responses of the imprinted sensor to TMP were observed for concentrations ranging from 5.0×10-7 mol/L to 4.0×10-3 mol/L (R=0.9995), with a detection limit of 3.2×10-8 mol/L (S/N=3).The Pd nanoparticle doped MIP sensors exhibited high selectivity.The chronoamperometry showed that no interference from potential interfering species such as sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine, glucose, and urea were noted.The proposed electrochemical sensor was used to determine TMP in actual samples, with average recoveries of 96.8%-102.0%.

Objective To explore the feasibility using aluminum tripolyphosphate as the synthesis of aspirin model instead of sulfuric acid catalyst. Methods The thermodynamic functions of the reaction system of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride were calculated according to the Benson group contribution method and Joback group contribution method.The enthalpy change,entropy and Gibbs free energy along with the change of temperature as well as the influence of the molar rate of reactants on the equilibrium conversation rate were also studied.Results In the temperature range of 298.15 K to 358.15 K,the reaction enthalpy was less than zero,and was exothermic reaction,and increase of temperature was not conducive to the reaction.The improvement of mole ratio of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride was helpful to improve the equilibrium conversation rate.The theoretical conversion rate could reach 99.58% when the mole ratio of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride was 3.Conclusion From the viewpoint of thermodynamics, the reaction is practical and feasible.

Objective To compare the position,volume and matching index (MI) of patientspecific internal gross tumor volume (IGTV)delineated by 4 different approaches based on three- dimensional and four - dimensional CT ( 3 DCT and 4 DCT ) image for primary esophageal cancers.Methods Thirteen patients with primary esophageal cancer underwent 3DCT and 4DCT simulation scans during free breathing,and the patient were divided into group A (tumor located in the proximal thoracic esophagus) and B (tumor located in the mid-and distal thoracic esophagus).IGTV were delineated using four approaches: The gross tumor volume (GTV) contours from 10 respiratory phases were combined into IGTV10 ;IGTV2 was acquired by combining the GTV from 0% and 50% phases; IGTVMIP was the GTV contour delineated from the maximum intensity projection (MIP) ;IGTV3D was acquired from the enlargement of 3 DCT-based GTV by each spatial direction on the motion amplitude measured in the 4DCT.ResultsTarget movement in lateral (LR),anterio-posterior (AP),superio-inferior (SI) directions showed no statistically significant difference (0.11 cm,0.09 cm,0.18 cm,respectively; χ2 =1.06,P=0.589),and there was no statistically significant difference in centroid positions between IGTV10 and IGTV2 or IGTV3D in group A (t =-2.24,-0.00,P =0.089,- 1.000 ),MI between IGTV10 and IGTV2,IGTV10 and IGTV3D were 0.88,0.54,respectively. For group B, target movement amplitude in SI direction was bigger than in LR, AP ( 0.47 cm,0. 15cm,0. 12 cm,X2= 12.00,P = 0.002).Therewasno significantdifference betweenIGTV10 andIGTV3D inLR, AP, SI ( t =- 0.80.- 0.82,- 1.16,P = 0.450.0.438.0.285 ), MI was 0.59 ; but the target center coordinates was demonstrated significant difference in SI between IGTV10 and ICTV2 for group B ( t = 2.97.P = 0.021 ), Mlwas 0.86.Thevolume of IGTVMIPwassmaller thanIGTV10 ( t =- 2.84,P = 0.025 ), but the position of IGTv10 and ICTVMIp were with no statistically significant difference in the LR,AP,SI ( t =- 0.25,0. 84. - 1.22,P = 0. 809,0.429.0.263 ) ,MIbetweenIGTV10andIGTVMIp was 0.78.Conclusions Patient-specific IGTV can be acquired from 4DCT with correct target coverage while avoiding a geographic miss for the thoracic esophageal cancer,but IGTV2 and IGTVMIP can not contain all the information about primary tumor position,shape.and size at different phases of the respiratory cycle.
