Objective To observe the effects of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on survival of the blade-thickness free skin grafts. Methods Sixty-five patients with skin defects were divided into NPWT treatment group ( Group Ⅰ,n =35) and conventional treatment group ( Group Ⅱ,n =30) according to different postoperative fixation methods.The patients in Group Ⅰ were fixed with the aid of NPWT after blade-thickness free skin grafting,and the patients in Group Ⅱ were fixed with tie-over bolster dressing. Results The survival rate of the skin grafts of Group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of Group Ⅱ at day5 postoperatively [ (80.59 ±10.30)％ vs (71.46 ±10.68)％,P＜0.05].The survival period for the skin grafts of Group Ⅰ was shorter than that of Group Ⅱ[ (5.34 ± 0.87) days vs ( 11.20 ± 1.65) days,P ＜ 0.01].The duration of postoperative hospital stay of Group Ⅰ was obviously shorter than that of Group Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.01 ).The cost of antibiotics of Group Ⅰ was less than that of Group Ⅱ [ ( 1 765.71 ± 164.39) RMB yuan vs (2 700.00 ±221.28) RMB yuan,P ＜0.01].The dressing frequency and cost of group Ⅰ were less than those of group Ⅱ [(3.11 ± 0.32) times,(249.14 ±25.82) RMB yuan vs (4.53 ±0.68) times,(362.67 ±54.52) RMB yuan,P＜0.01]. Conclusions The application of NPWT to the postoperative period of skin grafting can promote the survival of the skin grafts,shorten the duration of hospitalization and reduce antibiotics use and dressing frequency.

Objective To investigate the biological effect of 50 Hz sinusoidal electromagnetic fields at 1 mT on the proliferation of the human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63.Methods Osteosarcrma MG-63 cells were divided into control and experimental groups.The control group was incubated without an electromagnetic field; the experimental group was incubated in a 50 Hz,1.0 mT sinusoidal electromagnetic field.On the 2nd,4th and 6th day,their proliferation was determined using a cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay.Variations in the cell cycle were detected with flow cytometry(FCM).Semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was used to measure cyclin B1 and cyclin D1 mRNA.Results Compared with the control group,proliferation of the experimental group cells was reduced significantly.The percentage of cells at G0-G1 phase increased,and the mRNA expression of cyclin B1 and cyclin D1 was significantly reduced.Conclusions A 50 Hz sinusoidal electromagnetic field at 1.0 mT can inhibit the proliferation of osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 significantly.

BACKGROUND:As a bone scaffold material,β-tricalcium phosphate has good biocompatibility, osteoinductive, and biomechanical properties.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of al ogeneic osteoblasts compounded withβ-tricalcium phosphate in repairing rabbit radial defects.
METHODS:A total of 45 rabbit radial defect models were made and divided into three groups in random. Experimental group was repaired with the compound of al ogeneic osteoblasts andβ-tricalcium phosphate;
control group withβ-tricalcium phosphate;and blank control group with nothing. The new bone formation of each group was observed and assessed by X-ray and histopathological analysis at weeks 4, 8, 16 after implantation for evaluation of the bone repairing effect.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With the repair time, the experimental group appeared to complete bone defect repair gradual y. By the end of 16 weeks, the X-ray showed that the bone cal us between the scaffold and the host was completely ossified, and bone defects were completely repaired in the experimental group. Histopathological observation showed continuous cortical bone formed in the defect area, and canal recanalization realized in the experimental group. Additional y, the repair effect in the experimental group was better than that in the control and blank control group at different time points (P<0.01). It is suggested that the al ogenic osteoblasts/β-tricalcium phosphate compound has the better effects on guiding bone regeneration and preventing from nonunion.

BACKGROUND: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion has been considered the gold standard for treatment of symptomatic degenerative disc disease within the cervical spine.However,fusion may result in progressive degeneration of the adjacent segments.Artificial disc replacement seems to be promising,segmental motion and stability are preserved while the spinal canal has been enlarged,and the intervertebral disc biological mechanics has been preserved,but not leads to progressive degeneration of the adjacent segments.OBJECTIVE: To observe the functional outcome and kinematics after the Prodisc artificial neck intervertebral disc replacement.METHODS: A total of 55 cases (69 intervertebral discs),29 males and 26 females,aged 48 (31-76) years were selected,including14 with bi-segmental injury.There were 32 cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy,9 of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy,and 14 of mixed type cervical spondylosis.Prodisc artificial neck intervertebral disc replacement was performed using anterior or oblique incision.Prospective data JOA score and kinematic measures were collected before surgery and at 3,6,12,and 24 months after surgery.Range of motion was determined by independent radiologic assessment of flexion-extension radiographs.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The 55 patients were followed-up,including 41 undergoing single segmental disc replacement and 14 undergoing bi-segmental disc replacement.They were followed up for 22(56-48)months postoperatively.JOA scores displayed improved cervical function by 56%.Range of motion of sagittal and coronal planes were similar to those prior to operation compared with preoperatively(P = 0.45,0.74),and the range of motion and stability were maintained as adjacent segments.Results showed that the artificial disc replacement maintained range of motion of original intervertebral disc,accelerated patient recovery,and slightly affected adjacent intervertebral disc.

Lung cancer has become the leading cause of death from malignant tumors worldwide. At the same time, statistics show that the incidence and mortality of lung cancer are increasing year by year. Because patients with lung cancer do not have typical symptoms in the early stage, this directly leads to the majority of patients who are already at advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, and the prognosis is not good. How to diagnose lung cancer early and accurately and find patients with potential risks and predict the prognosis is of great significance for the formulation of further treatment plans. In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence has been booming. As a branch of artificial intelligence, machine learning could learn efficiently from complex and large amounts of data. Besides, the learned model has good generalization ability. These characteristics can take greatly advance on the research about lung cancer
