Objective: To study changes of ultrastructure of atrial endothelial cells during acute atrial fibrillation (AF) in canines, and explore the possible mechanism of AF left atrial thrombosis. Methods: A total of 16 healthy adult mongrel canines were randomly and equally divided into blank control group (only received thoracotomy without pacing) and rapid atrial pacing (RAP) group (established acute AF model). Myocardial tissue of left and right appendage were taken from two groups and received hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining, then myocardial cell morphological changes was observed under ordinary light microscope; morphological changes of appendage endothelial cells was observed under electron microscope. Results: (1) Paroxysmal AF was successfully induced in all canines of RAP group; (2) There were no significant difference in morphology of appendage and endocardial tissue under ordinary light microscope between two groups; 3. Under transmission electron microscope, endothelium cell of appendage tissue presented defect of different extent, and some shedding in RAP group; while endothelial cell layer was complete with absence of necrosis and shedding in blank control group. Compared with blank control group, there was significant rise in endothelial cell incompleteness (12.5% vs. 75.0%) in RAP group, P=0.041. Conclusion: When acute atrial fibrillation occurs, endothelial cell ultrastructure has already changed, which may be related to thrombosis adhered to wall during atrial fibrillation.

BACKGROUND:There are many complications of limb salvage surgery in patients with osteosarcoma of the middle tibia, and the limb salvage surgery is one of the current difficulties in clinical treatment. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of reconstruction with massive al ograft bone for osteosarcoma of the middle tibia by retrospectively reviewing relevant cases. METHODS:Seven patients with osteosarcoma of the middle tibia were treated. And we analyzed their clinical data retrospectively. Al patients completed the formal preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and we confirmed that there was no distant metastasis before surgery. Al patients received large al ogeneic bone transplantation and internal fixation, and the gastrocnemius muscle flap coveraged graft bone in surgery. The average length of al ogeneic bone was 12.5 cm. Five patients received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy completely, and two patients received partly. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The fol ow-up period was 18-36 months. One patient had local tumor recurrence at 1 year after transplantation, and died of lung metastases after amputation. One patient survived after resection of lung metastases that occurred at 1.5 years after transplantation. One patient died of lung metastases at 2 years after transplantation. The rest four patients were tumor-free. The mean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 26.5, the mean International Society of Limb Salvage (ISOLS) graft score was 31. Among four underage patients, one had leg length deformities, with limb shortening 2 cm. There were no postoperative infections and pathological fractures. Using large al ogeneic bone for the repair of bone defects after tumor surgery of the middle tibia can have a good clinical efficacy under the premise of strict indications. Using gastrocnemius muscle flap to cover the bone graft during surgery is an effective measure to reduce postoperative complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of using pedicled flap to reconstruct skin and soft tis-sue defect after resection of sarcoma around extremities joint. Methods Retrospectively analysis 103 cases of sar-coma around extremities joint who was treated from June, 2012 to June, 2017 and used the pedicled fasciocutaneous flaps or pedicled musculocutaneous flaps to reconstruct the defect after sarcoma resection. There were 61 males and 42 females, with a mean age of 52.3 (14-82 ) years old. Among these patients, there were 32 initial diagnosis, 30 had been resected in other units, and 41 recurrent tumor. There were 13 patients that tumor around wrist:reconstructed by radial wrist upper branch fasciocutaneous flap, dorso-ulnar flap based on supracarpal perforator, and posterior in-terosseous artery flap. Eight patients with tumor around elbow: reconstructed by lateral arm flap and media arm flap. Eight patients with tumor around shoulder: reconstructed by latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap and lateral tho-racic flap. Fourteen patients with tumor around hip: rectus femoris musculocutaneous flap, tensor fascia lata musculo-cutaneous flap, and posterior thigh fasciocutaneous flap. Sixteen patients that tumor around knee:reconstructed by an-terolateral low leg flap, and sural calf fasciocutaneous flap. Forty-four patients that tumor around ankle: reconstructed by saphenous neuro-veno-fasciocutaneous flap, sural neuro-veno-fasciocutaneous flap, lateral supramalleolar flap, and medial plantar flap. The defect area after tumor resection were:3 cm ×4 cm-18 cm×25 cm. After surgery, observe the situation and fitness of flap, complication, joint mobility, and tumor recurrence and metastasis. Results Allflaps survived except 6 died or partial died, with a survival rate of 94.2%, of which dead flap were replaced by a new flap or covered by free skin graft. Infection occurred in 4 cases (2 in donor site and 2 in recipient site), were cured by dressing and antibiotic. Except for 12 cases dropped, all rest 91 cases were followed-up by 33 months on average (1-5 years), flaps' shape and texture were good, without swollen and fester, and fit well. Superficial sensibility of direct fasciocuta-neous flaps and musculocutaneous flaps were normal, protective sensation of reverse fascial flaps were recovered. The mobility of affected joint show no difference compared with the other side. No ulcer occurred on flaps of plantar and but-tocks, that helps normal sit position and gait. There were 17 recurrences and 32 metastasis occurred, 21 patients died so far. There was a statistical difference between recurrent cases with first shot(10.3%) second widely resection(11.5%) and recurrent resection(30.6%)(P<0.05). Conclusion Using pedicled flap to reconstruct skin defect after the resection of sarcoma around extremities joint, can get good clinical result, with simple and reliable operation. It is worth to popularize.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the clinical effects and complications of alcohol inactivation, irradiation inactivation, and liquid nitrogen inactivation in the treatment of femur osteosarcoma in children, in an attempt to provide a theoretical basis for clinical selection of in vitro inactivation methods of tumor bone segment. Methods:The clinical data of 93 children with femur osteosarcoma admitted to the Department of Bone and Soft Tissue, the Affi-liate Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2008 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, and 40 children, including 21 males and 19 females, aged 8-18 (13.65±2.87) years, who were treated with in vitro inactivation and replantation of autogenous tumor bone segment, were screened.Among these children, there was alcohol inactivation in 15 cases, irradiation inactivation in 12 cases, and liquid nitrogen inactivation in 13 cases.A comparison was drawn on these 3 inactivation methods with respect to bone healing time, bone healing rate, tumor recurrence rate, infection rate, fracture or fixation failure rate, and revision rate. Results:All those 40 children were subject to valid medical followed-up, with the alcohol inactivation group for (102.60±16.55) months, the irradiation inactivation group for (59.33±6.39) months, and the liquid nitrogen inactivation for (36.85±6.49) months.The difference in follow-up time of 3 groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with other 2 groups, the index of bone healing time, bone healing rate, infection rate and revision rate in the alcohol inactivation group were unfavorable, which showed a significant difference (all P<0.05); However, there was no significant difference in the recurrence rate, fracture rate or fixation failure rate compared with other 2 groups (all P>0.05); There was no significant difference in all above indexes between the irradiation group and the liquid nitrogen group (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Three in vitro inactivation methods for the treatment of tumor bone segment are safe and reliable.The alcohol inactivated bone has a long healing time and more complications.Both irradiation inactivation and liquid nitrogen inactivation are clinical options, but irradiation inactivation requires professional equipment, which may limit the clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of the biopsy strategy combining 6-core systematic and 3-core MRI-targeted biopsy on prostate cancer (PCa) detection in biopsy-na?ve patients.Methods:The clinical data of 121 biopsy-na?ve patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from July 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The average age was (64.7±9.1) years old. Pre-biopsy prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was (12.4±7.5)ng/ml, f/t PSA was 0.13±0.05. Prostate volume was (43.1±26.1) ml and PASD was (0.35±0.27) ng/ml 2. The prostate-imaging and data system (PI-RADS) score of MRI before biopsy was reported to be 3 for 29 patients (24.0%), 4 for 54 patients (44.6%) and 5 for 38 patients (31.8%). All 121 patients underwent 12-core systematic biopsy combined with a 3-core or 5-core MRI-targeted biopsy, of which 61 patients underwent 3-core targeted biopsy and 60 underwent 5-core targeted biopsy. There was no significant difference in the pre-biopsy clinical data between the two groups ( P>0.05). A 6-core systematic biopsy was redefined as the results of 6 cores among the 12-core systematic biopsy. We compared the detection rates among the single 12-core systematic biopsy, 6-core systematic biopsy, MRI-targeted biopsy (3-core or 5-core), and different systematic biopsy combing with targeted biopsy for any PCa and clinically significant PCa, and we also analyzed the cumulative cancer detection rates for MRI-targeted biopsy of different cores. Results:Of the 121 patients in this study, the biopsy results were negative for 43 patients (35.5%) and positive for 78 (64.5%). The detection rate of clinically significant PCa was 55.4% (67/121). The detection rate of the 6-core systematic biopsy combined with MRI-targeted biopsy was 62.0% (75/121) for PCa and 55.4% (67/121) for clinically significant PCa, which was of no difference compared with that for the 12-core systematic biopsy combined with MRI-targeted biopsy ( P>0.05), but the 6-core systematic biopsy combined with MRI-targeted biopsy avoided the overdiagnosis of 3 patients with Gleason score 3+ 3. The detection rate of PCa for MRI-targeted biopsy was 57.9% (70/121), including 42.1% (51/121) for the first core, 55.4% (67/121) for the first two cores, and 57.9% (70/121) for the first three cores. Compared with the single-core targeted biopsy for suspicious lesions, the first 2-core targeted biopsy ( OR=1.7, 95% CI 1.0-2.8) and 3-core targeted biopsy ( OR=1.9, 95% CI 1.1-3.1) can significantly increase the detection rate of PCa, while the fourth or fifth core of targeted biopsy can not increase the detection rate additionally (60%, 36/60). Conclusion:For patients with suspected PCa, the prostate biopsy strategy combing 6-core systematic and 3-core MRI-targeted biopsy performs no inferior than the current 12-core systematic biopsy combined with MRI-targeted biopsy.

【Objective】 To study the annual financial expenditure in blood stations with different scales, and to establish the regression equation between blood collection units and total expenditure. 【Methods】 The annual total expenditure, the per capita cost of serving population, as well as the collection units of whole blood and apheresis platelet of 24 blood stations were collected. The financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood was calculated.The statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS statistical software. 【Results】 From 2017 to 2020, the total annual financial expenditure of 24 blood stations showed an upward trend. The total expenditure among blood stations was different. The per capita cost of servicing population in the areas where the 24 blood stations were located had been increasing year by year. The 24 blood stations were divided into two grades according to the blood collection volume as 50 000 U, and the relationship equation between the blood collection volume and the annual total expenditure had been established. After testing, each equation was effective(P<0.05); There was no difference in the financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood among blood stations with different scales. 【Conclusion】 From 2017 to 2020, the blood stations with an annual collection volume more than 50 000 U demonstrated a higher financial expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population than those <50 000 U. The blood collection volume of blood stations is significantly correlated with the annual total expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population.
