BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament injury accompanied by unstable rotation is a hotspot in sports medicine. Further understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the anterolateral ligament can play a guiding significance for the recovery of knee joint rotational stability.
OBJECTIVE:To systematicaly review current literature on the anterolateral ligament of the knee and to understand the incidence, anatomy, morphology and histology of the anterolateral ligament as wel as mechanism of anterolateral ligament injury.
METHODS: The first author searched the PubMed, Medline, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP databases for articles specificaly addressing the anterolateral ligament. Data extraction related to the incidence, anatomy, morphometry, biomechanics, and histology of the anterolateral ligament and its relation to the “Segond” fracture was performed. The retrieve time ranged from 1878 to 2015. Totaly 362 literatures were retrieved, including 342 articles in English and 20 in Chinese. According to inclusive and exclusive criteria, 42 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The occurrence rate of the anterolateral ligament ranges from 83% to 100%, and this range occurs because of smal discrepancies in the definition of the bony insertions of the anterolateral ligament. The anterolateral ligament originates anterior and distal to the femoral attachment of the lateral colateral ligament. It spans the joint in an oblique fashion and inserts between the fibular head and Gerdy tubercle of the tibia. Exact anatomic and morphometric descriptions vary in the literature, and there are discrepancies regarding the anterolateral ligament attachment to the capsule and lateral meniscus. The anterolaterial ligament is a contributor to the stability of tibial internal rotation, and histologicaly, it exhibits paralel, crimped fibers consistent with a ligamentous microstructure. The footprint of the anterolateral ligament has been shown to be at the exact location of the Segond fracture. The anterolateral ligament is a distinct ligamentous structure at the anterolateral plane of the knee, and it is likely involved in the control of excessive tibial internal rotation that can cause the Segond fracture.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation combined with immunotherapy in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma .Methods A total of 124 patients with liver cancer were randomly divided into the two groups .60 cases in the control group were given immunity treatment alone ,while 64 cases in the observation group were treated by percutaneous radiofrequency ablation combined with immune therapy . The middle and long term curative effect of two groups was observed .Results After treatment,the tumor diameter, serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) levels in the two groups were significantly decreased(t=4.867,P=0.005;t=5.175,P=0.004;t=3.155,P=0.025;t=4.845,P=0.005;t=4.031,P=0.010;t=2.668,P=0.044),but the declining degree of the observation group was better than the control group (t=4.119,P=0.009;t=3.621,P=0.015;t=3.492,P=0.017).The total effective rates and disease control rates of the observation group were 53.1%,78.1%,which were significantly higher than 28.3%,46.7%in the control group (χ2 =11.290,P=0.010;χ2 =21.290,P=0.000).The 1-year,3-year,5-year survival rates of the observation group were 60.9%,31.3%,12.5%,those of the control group were 21.7%,5.0%,0.0%,the middle and long term sur-vival rates of the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (χ2 =21.935,P=0.000;χ2 =56.452,P=0.000;χ2 =40.516,P=0.000).No statistically significant differences in the CD 4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+, IL-12 and other indicators between the two groups before treatment ,but these indicators in the observation group were significantly improved after treatment (t =4.515,P =0.006;t =10.014,P =0.000;t =5.217,P =0.003). Conclusion Combination of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation and immunotherapy in the treatment of hepatocell-lular carcinoma has exact effect and with advantages of less adverse reaction , good safety , which can significantly improve the quality of life and survival rate of patients ,it has good clinical application value .

Objective To systematically review the short-term and long-term efficacy of eversion carotid endarterectomy (eCEA) and patch carotid endarterectomy (pCEA) for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis.Methods The published literature on eCEA and pCEA control studies in medline,PubMed,Ovid,CNKI and CBM (1970.5-2016.10) databases were retrieved by computers.Two reviewers selected literature and extracted data independently according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Cochrane Collaboration Network Special Software Rev Man 5.2 was used to analyze the meta-analysis of short-term and long-term outcome measures.Results A total of 1 137 articles were retrieved.Ten studies were included and analyzed (3 of them were randomized controlled trial).A total of 3 213 patients were enrolled,including surgical intervention 3 299 case/time (1 512 in the eCEA group and 1 787 in the pCEA group).The results of meta-analysis showed that:(1) the mean operative time in the pCEA group was shorter 22±8 min than that in the pCEA group.The intraoperative utilization ratio of shunt tube,eCEA was significantly lower than pCEA,they were 12.6 %(53/421) and 50.2% (357/711) respectively (OR,0.11,95%CI 0.08-0.15,P<0.01).The postoperative incidence of stroke within 30 d (OR,0.42,95%CI 0.23-0.76,P=0.004) and the incidence of stroke after 30 d in eCEA were lower than those in pCEA (OR,0.26,95%CI 0.09-0.78,P=0.02).There was significant difference.(2) eCEA reduced the incidence of restenosis at day 30 after procedure (OR,0.57,95%CI 0.38-0.86,P=0.008).Conclusion Compared with pCEA,eCEA has the advantages of reducing the operation time and lowering the utilization rate of shunt tube.At the same time,eCEA can reduce the occurrence of stroke within 30 d and 30 d after procedure,and significantly reduce the incidence of restenosis.

Objective To explore clinical effect of choledocholithotomy by laparoscopy-assisted choledochoelectroscopy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.Methods The clinical data of 126 gallstone and choledocholithiasis patients treated by laparoscopy-assisted choledochoelectroscopy(L group)and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(E group)were analyzed retrospectively.In L group,the patients were performed LC and choledocholithotomy by laparoscopy-assisted choledochoelectroscopy directly,but in E group,the treatment procedures were finished by two steps.Firstly,the bile duct stones were carried out by ERCP,days later LC operations were performed.Between the two groups,the hospital days,costs,the rate of residual stone,the rate of bihary infection or panereatitis and the rate of stone recur were compared.Results In the two groups,hospital days were(6.5±0.3)d and(12.5±0.5)d,costs were(1.22±0.17)and(1.98±0.24)ten thousand yuan,the rate of residual stone was 0 and 5.3%,the rate of biliary infection or pancreatitis was 1.4%and 15.8%,and the rate of stone recur was 1.4%and 10.5%respectively.When compared each other the difference was statistically significant(t=2.48,1.96,χ2=4.32,4.90,8.79,all P＜0.05).Conclusion In patients with gallstone and bile duct stones,laparoscopy-assisted choledochoelectroseopy presented more predominances when compared with two steps methods.

The case of the nodular fasciitis was with a short history and rapid growth speed. The lesion was nodular, not encapsulated. Histologically, the fibroblasts proliferated actively, with some mitoses. The reality of the nodular fasciitis is the proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. This disease is a benign lesion. It is very important to make a different diagnosis between this lesion and sarcomas. Ultrasonography and MRI are important assistants in diagnosis of nodular fasciitis. This disease could be effectively treated by local excision with a low recurrence rate and a satisfactory prognosis.
