6.Biomechanical characteristics of suturing the ligament end during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(42):6827-6831
BACKGROUND:During autologous tendon grafting, the ultimate tensile strength used for suturing the end of the ligament is important for successful surgery. Improving suturing strength and increasing the number of stitches is a good choice for increasing the fixed intensity. But excess amount of stitches can produce too many thread residues, thereby affecting tendon healing.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the essential number of suturing pins for the anterior cruciate ligament revascularization in ligament end suture fixation to reduce suturing thread exposure.
METHODS:(1) In vitro biomechanics test:12 patel ar ligament specimens were divided into two groups:the specimens were sutured with 5 or 3 stitches using Krackow suture method. The suturing thread was J&J tendon suture thread. The strength of tensile was compared between the two groups by Tensile mechanical test was conducted to compare the strength of tensile between the two groups and to explore the optimal number of stitches and suturing method. (2) Clinical application:According to the results of in vitro experiments, modified Krackow suture method was used clinical y for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in 125 cases, including 62 cases receiving 3-stitch suture, and 63 cases undergoing 5-stitch suture.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The fixed strength of tensile at suture sites was over 100 N for 3-stitch double-lock suture and 110 N for 5-stitch double-lock suture. There was no significant difference in the fixed strength between the two groups, but their strength values were both over the breaking strength of suturing materials. Moreover, the fixed strength could not be reduced by suturing throughout the ligament at the first stitch. Al the 125 cases were fol owed for 6.4 months averagely, and both 3-stitch and 5-stitch suture methods achieved good outcomes. The satisfaction rate was up to 99%, and no suture breakage or loosing occurred at early and late stages. These findings suggest that, using 3-stitch double-lock suture method, a satisfactory fixed strength can be achieved with reduced thread exposure. The suturing thread can run through the ligament at the first stitch, which can reduce thread exposure but not reduce the fixed strength.

BACKGROUND:The traditional treatment methods for osteoporosis accompanied by bone defects, such as autogenous bone graft, al ograft, biomaterial implants, have significant limitations. The regenerative medicine approach using adipose-derived stem cells as seed cells offers a new way for the repair of bone defects fol owing osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To review the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and its impacts on the repair of bone defects, the signal pathway regulation of osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells, and the feasibility of adipose-derived stem cells for repairing osteoporotic bone defects. METHODS:A computer-based online search of CNKI database and PubMed database was performed to retrieve the relevant articles published from January 1998 to September 2014 with the key words of“adipose-derived stem cells, osteoporosis, bone defect, osteogenic differentiation, bone regeneration”in Chinese and English, respectively. Final y 77 articles were included for review after deleting unrelated and repetitive ones. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In recent years, adipose-derived stem cells have been widely used in regenerative medicine research. With the development of relevant disciplines such as regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, molecular biology, and material science, in-depth studies on regulatory mechanisms of osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells have been developed. Adipose-derived stem cells combined with biological scaffolds for construction of tissue-engineered bones provides a new way to repair osteoporotic bone defects.
8.Concurrent chemoradiation for non-small cell lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(10):755-758
The standard non-surgery approach for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Common chemotherapy regimens include EP,NP,DC and PC.New chemotherapy drugs combination and targeted therapy are still under study.The tolerances of elderly patients are declining for concurrent chemoradiotherapy,but it is not the absolute contraindication.The tolerance for hyperfraction and high dose radiotherapy is well,however,the effectiveness and long-term toxicity need to be further studied and evaluated.
9.Comparison of retrograde intra-renal surgery and percutaneous nephrolithotomy in treating renal pelvic stone less than 1 .5 centimeters
Journal of Clinical Surgery 2015;(2):113-115
Objective To explore the best minimal invasive method in treating renal pelvic stones less than 1.5 cm.Methods A total of 90 patients with renal pelvic stone less than 1.5 cm were enrolled, including 47 cases of retrograde intrarenal surgery(RIRS)by rigid and flexible ureteroscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy,and 43 cases of percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL)by holmium laser lithotripsy.Opera-tion time,stonefree rate(SFR),hospitalization,and complications were analyzed for comparison.Results The average sizes of stone in the RIRS group and PCNL group were 1.2 cm(range 1.0 ~1.5 cm)and 1.3 cm (1.0 ~1.5 cm),respectively.In the RIRS group,45(95.74%)patients out of 47 had complete clearance and 32 patients needed combination of flexible ureteroscopy to fragmentate the stones falling into the renal calices.The operation time was 44 min(range 27 ~70 min)with postoperative fever in 2 cases.The decrea-sing in hemoglobin and hematocrit was(0.18 ±0.06)g/L and 0.11%,respectively.No major complication was recorded.In PCNL group,the mean operation time was 70min(range 45 ~90 min)with a stone-free rate of 95.35%(41 /43).The decreasing in hemoglobin and hematocrit was(17.25 ±6.70)g/L and 5. 62%,respectively.The complications in PCNL group were postoperative fever in two cases and bleeding in two cases.Conclusion RIRS has the advantages of natural orifice endoscopic surgery in shortening opera-tion time,reducing blood transfusion requirements,and decreasing postoperative complications.For renal pelvic stone less than 1.5 cm,RIRS can be the primary choice.

Journal of Practical Stomatology 2015;(1):92-95
Objective:To Compare root resorption between T loop technique and sliding technique of orthodontic treatment.Meth-ods:90 patients with Angle class I malocclusion were orthodontically treated by MBT fixed appliances with T loop technique(n =45) and sliding technique(n =45)respectively.Root resorption of the patients were examined by grading evaluation method with orthopan-tomography and periapical films before and after orthodontic treatment.Results:After orthodontic treatment the tooth root resorption rate increased(P <0.05),the root resorption rate was not significantly different between T loop technique group and sliding technique group(P >0.05).Root resorption mostly occurred in the incisors,especially in mandibular tooth.Conclusion:There is no difference of the effect of root resorption between T loop technique and sliding technique of orthodontic treatment in patients with Angle class I malocclusion.
