Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of pedical conjunctival flap transposition on refractory corneal ulcer. Methods The data of 56 eyes of 56 patients with refractory corneal ulcer who underwent pedical conjuctival transposition in a tertiary eye unit in China from June 2005 to June 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 36 infective corneal ulcers, 9 keratoplasty graft ulcers, 4 traumatic ulcers, and 7 chemical burn ulcers. All patients were treated with focal debridement and pedical conjuctival flap transposition. Results Forty-seven out of 56 (83.9%) were cured after one surgery, and 5 (8.9%) had conjunctival flap retraction, among which 3 underwent the second surgery and 2 had the third surgery to completely heal. Four patients (7.2%) turned to lamellar keratoplasty because of fungal corneal ulcer relapse. Ulcer in 52 patients healed and the globe preserved. They had different levels of vision improvement. Conclusion Pedical conjunctival flap transposition is effective for refractory corneal ulcer.

Objective To discuss the clinical effects of internal fixation with pubic nails and sacroiliac screws aided by 3D navigation for pelvic fractures of Tile type B2 or B3. Methods A total of 27 patients with pelvic fracture of Tile type B2 or B3 received operative treatment in our hospital from De-cember 2013 to December 2016. They were 15 men and 12 women, aged from 20 to 68 years ( average, 39. 2 years ) . According to the Tile classification, 12 cases were type B2. 1, 8 type B2. 2, and 7 type B3. Of them, 20 were unilateral pubic rami fractures and 7 bilateral pubic rami fractures; there were 3 dislocations of the sacroiliac joint, 17 fractures of the sacral Denis regionⅠ, and 7 fractures of the sacral Denis regionⅡ. All the 27 cases were treated by internal fixation with retrograde pubic nails and sacroiliac screws aided by 3D navi-gation. Quality of fracture reduction, functional recovery of the pelvis and postoperative complications were recorded to evaluate the clinical effects. Results Totally 26 out of the 27 patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months ( average, 11. 4 months ) , with one lost to the follow-up. According to the Matta scoring, the pelvic reduction was evaluated as excellent in 20, as good in 4 and as fair in 2 cases, yielding an excellent and good rate of 92. 3%. All the fractures united after 12 to 20 weeks ( average, 13. 8 weeks ) . According to the Majeed scoring at the final follow-ups, the pelvic function was evaluated as excellent in 20, as good in 3 and as fair in 3 cases, giving an excellent and good rate of 88. 5%. Screw loosening happened in one patient who had ambulated too early. No permanent pain, wound infection, neurovascular injury, heterotopic ossification or thrombosis occurred. Conclusion For the treatment of pelvic fractures of Tile type B2 or B3, internal fixation with pubic nails and sacroiliac screws aided by 3D navigation can lead to satisfactory short-term outcomes due to advantages of limited operative invasion, short operation time and limited intraoperative blood loss.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of digital orthopedic three-dimensional visualization technology combined with image-based computer navigation and simple image-based computer navigation in percutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of sacroiliac joint complex injury. Methods A retrospective case-control analysis was conducted on 49 cases of sacroiliac complex injury from January 2015 to May 2017. There were 27 males and 22 females, with an average of 39.3 years old (range, 21-66 years). According to AO typing, there were 10 cases of type B1, 19 type B2, and 20 type C1. The duration from injury to operation ranged from 5 to 11 days (mean, 6.5 days). Based on the application of three-dimensiona digital programming, the 49 cases were assigned to Group A (n =24) which used Mimics computer assisted surgery software to simulate screw placement on the healthy side of sacroilic joint before operation and Group B (n = 25) without the simulation programming. Screw placement time, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, and intraoperative bleeding were compared between two groups. Fracture reduction was evaluated by modified Matta standard score, and the function of hip joint by Majeed pelvic fracture function score at the last follow-up. Fracture healing and complications were observed. Results All patients were followed up for an average of 10.4 months (range, 6-24 months). The time of sacroiliac joint screw placement [(18.4 ±3.0)min] and the intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency [(12.9 ± 3.8) times] in Group A were significantly less than those [(26.4 ±3.8) min, (19.4 ±1.5) times] in Group B (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between Group A and Group B in intraoperative bleeding [(14.1 ± 3.0) ml vs. (15.1 ± 2.2) ml](P>0.05). According to the modified Matta reduction standard, the good and excellent rate of Group A was 92% (22/24), and that of Group B was 92% (23/25). At the last follow up, the Majeed pelvic function score was 96% (23/24) in Group A and 92% (23/25) in Group B (P >0.05). Bone healing was seen in all patients 4 months after operation, and no complications such as wound infection, deep venous thrombosis, or screw loosening were observed. Conclusion The digital orthopedic three-dimensiona visualization technology in preoperative planning can reduce the time of sacroiliac screw placement and the intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency. It is an effective adjuvant technique for the percutaneous screw fixation under navigation in the treatment of sacroiliac joint.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics in patients with persistent positive pharyngeal swab of 2019 novel coronavirus Omicron variant and results of nucleic acid testing of anal swabs to provide basis for prevention and control measures.Methods:This study included 93 patients whose pharyngeal swab nucleic acid test were persistent positive and admitted to the ward of Daping Hospital in the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) Makeshift Hospital from May 1 to May 24, 2022. The gender, age, underlying diseases, vaccination status, clinical symptoms, interval between infection onset and anal sampling, length of hospital stay, the nucleic acid test result of pharyngeal swabs and anal swabs and the time turning negative were collected and analyzed.Results:The age of 93 patients ranged from 8 to 72 years old with a median of (46.0±16.0) years old. Among them, 30 cases (32.3%) were male and 63 cases (67.7%) were female. Sixty-five patients (69.9%) received 2-3 shots of vaccine, 2 patients (2.1%) received 1 shot, and 26 patients (28.0%) did not receive any vaccination. Twenty patients (21.5%) had underlying diseases, of which hypertension (13 cases, 14.0%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (6 cases, 6.5%) were the most common. Twenty-four patients (25.8%) had asymptomatic infection and the rest (69 cases, 74.2%) had mild symptoms. Cough (50 cases, 53.8%) and sore throat (28 cases, 30.1%) were the most common clinical manifestations of the upper respiratory tract in these patients. Only 6 patients (6.5%) had gastrointestinal symptoms (including diarrhea in 5 patients and diarrhea with vomiting in 1 patient). Pharyngeal and anal swabs were collected simultaneously from all 93 patients at 8-16th days [(11.55±2.27) days] after 2019 novel coronavirus Omicron variant infection. The pharyngeal swabs were positive in 79 patients (85.0%) and the anal swabs were positive in 5 patients (5.4%). The time of pharyngeal swabs turning negative was (14.7±2.9) days, and that of anal swab turning positive was (14.2±1.9) days. The median length of hospital stay was (16.7±2.9) days.Conclusions:In patients with persistent positive nucleic acid of the 2019 novel coronavirus Omicron variant, there were more mild infection than asymptomatic. The upper respiratory tract symptoms such as cough and sore throat were the most. The likelihood of transmission of 2019 novel coronavirus Omicron variant through the digestive tract may be low. The correlation between gastrointestinal symptoms and 2019 novel coronavirus Omicron variant RNA in the digestive tract is uncertain.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of three-dimensional navigation assisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw combined with external fixator for the treatment of the Tile B and C pelvic fractures. Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted on 43 patients with Tile B and C pelvic fractures from January 2014 to June 2017. There were 25 males and 18 females, with an average age of 44.6 years (range, 21-68 years). According to the AO typing, there were seven cases of type B1, 13 type B2, six type B3, 15 type C1, and two type C2. The duration from injury to operation ranged from 4 to 14 days (mean, 8.0 days). Based on the operation method, patients were divided into Group A (n=20) treated by three dimensional navigation assisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw combined with external fixator, and Group B (n = 23) treated by anterior open reduction and plate internal fixation. The two groups were compared in terms of operation time, blood loss, reduction quality by Matta score, Majeed pelvic fractures function score at the last follow up, and postoperative complications. Results All patients were followed up for 6-24 months (mean, 12.7 months). The operation time [(27.5 ± 1.6) minutes] and intraoperative bleeding [(26.3 ± 3.9) ml] in Group A were significantly less than those in Group B [(166.2±3.6)minutes and (128.0 ± 8.9) ml] (<0.05). There were no significant differences between Group A and Group B in the good and excellent rate of reduction [85% (17/20) vs.91% (21/23)], and Majeed score [90% (18/20) vs.91% (21/23)](P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complication in Group A (10%) was significantly lower than that in Group B (39%) (P <0.05). Conclusion Compared with open reduction and plate internal fixation, three dimensional navigation assisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw combined with external fixator is preferable to unstable pelvic fractures due to the shorter operation time, less intraoperative bleeding, and fewer postoperative complications.
