Objective With the same times of injection to compare low-dose intradermal regimen with routine-dose intramuscular inoculation in revaccination of non-responders to hepatitis B vaccine. Methods 40 healthy non-responder children collected by screening were administrated a three-dose revaccination randomly by intramuscular or intradermal route (10 vs 2 g per dose), and regularly tested for serologic markers up to five years. By the end of follow-up, a booster dose (5 μg) was given to those who had lost anti-HBs of ≥10 mIU/mL (seroprotection) and anamnestic response was estimated thereafter. Results All 17 intramuscular and 22 of 23 intradermal children effected seroprotection after revaccination. Intradermal children lost seroprotection over time significantly rapider compared with intramuscular children (Log Rank test, P= 0.029). In year 5, 50% of intramuscular but only 18.2% of intradermal children still maintained seroprotection (P=0.075). 12-14 days after the booster dose, all the eight intramuscular children developed an anamnestic response with anti-HBs titer increasing greater, but two of the 18 intradermal children failed to mount seroprotective level. Conclusion Three-routine-dose intramuscular revaccination was significantly effective than low-dose intradermal one with the same times of injection, especially in long-term immunity. We recommend routine-dose intramuscular protocol in revaccination of non-responders.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect and application value of simultaneous modulated accelerated radiotherapy (SMART) in the suspicious positive lymph nodes of head and neck.Methods:From January 2017 to February 2019, 60 patients with suspected positive lymph nodes in the head and neck in the Hanzhong Central Hospital of Shaanxi Province were divided into experimental group and control group according to different treatment plans, and 30 patients in each group were included. In the experimental group, 63.36 to 66.66 Gy patients were treated with SMART, while in the control group, 54.12 to 60.06 Gy patients were treated with conventional neck prophylactic radiation. In order to evaluate the feasibility of the method, the change of the short diameter of the largest cross section of the suspicious positive lymph nodes in the two groups were observed, and the adverse reactions in the treatment of the two groups were analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, the size of short diameter of lymph nodes in the two groups was smaller than that before treatment. The maximum short diameter of the largest cross section of lymph nodes in the experimental group was smaller than that before treatment: (0.43 ± 0.07) cm vs. (0.72 ± 0.10) cm, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the control group, the maximum short diameter of the largest cross section of lymph node decreased after treatment, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). After treatment, the reduction of the short diameter in the experimental group was more obvious than that in the control group. The maximum short diameter of the largest cross section between the two groups: (0.43±0.07) cm vs. (0.66±0.08)cm was statistically significant ( t = 11.523, P<0.05). Before treatment, hemoglobin (HGB) levels of the two groups were in the normal physiological range, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05); the white blood cell (WBC) levels of the two groups at different time after treatment were compared: in the first week (7.83 ± 2.53) × 10 9/L vs. (8.26 ± 3.16) × 10 9/L, in the third week (7.14 ± 3.65) × 10 9/L vs. (7.08 ± 2.53) × 10 9/L, in the fifth week (5.47 ± 2.81) × 10 9/L vs. (6.41 ± 2.57) × 10 9/L, and in the seventh week (4.36 ± 2.59) × 10 9/L vs. (4.98 ± 1.64) × 10 9/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05), which indicated that the WBC index levels of the two groups were gradually decreased during the treatment, and the decreased degree of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. The levels of HGB and PLT were maintained in the normal physiological range before and after treatment, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The main complications in the treatment of the experimental group were xerostomia and stomatitis. The adverse reactions in the control group were pain in the target area of radiotherapy. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The application of IMRT is an effective method for the treatment of occult lymph node metastasis, and it is also a therapeutic diagnostic method, which can provide evidence for the study of the law of lymph node metastasis in the head and neck. The safety and tissue tolerance of IMRT in the treatment of suspicious positive lymph nodes in the head and neck are good, which can be used for the suspicious lymph nodes in the head and neck. The treatment of positive lymph nodes and the evaluation of patients′ prognosis provide an effective way of clinical treatment.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of acetic acid with narrow-band imaging ( NBI ) and magnifying endoscopy ( ME ) on diagnosis of small colorectal polyps. Methods In this prospective study, 261 small colorectal polyps from 122 patients were observed by ME, NBI-ME, and acetic acid with NBI-ME, and then received endoscopic treatment. Endoscopic images were stored electronically and randomly allocated to 3 experts and 3 non-experts for diagnosis using Kudo pit pattern. The postoperative pathologic results acted as gold standard to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of different endoscopic modes for small colorectal polyps. The image definition and interobserver agreement were compared among different endoscopic modes. Results The diagnostic accuracy of ME, NBI-ME, and acetic acid with NBI-ME for small colorectal polyps was 65. 5% ( 171/261) , 90. 0% ( 235/261) , and 94. 6% ( 247/261) , respectively, in the experts group, and 57. 1% ( 149/261) , 83. 1% ( 217/261) , and 89. 3% ( 233/261) , respectively, in the non-experts group. All experts and non-experts diagnosed small colorectal polyps more accurately by acetic acid with NBI-ME than by NBI-ME ( all P<0. 05 ) and ME ( all P<0. 001 ) . The image definition scores of acetic acid with NBI-ME in the experts group and non-experts group were significantly higher than those of NBI-ME and ME ( all P<0. 001) . The results of interobserver agreement showed that Kappa values (95%CI) of ME, NBI-ME, and acetic acid with NBI-ME diagnosis were 0. 578 (0. 508-0. 648), 0. 669 (0. 599-0. 739), and 0. 940 (0. 870-1. 010), respectively, for experts and 0. 476 (0. 406-0. 546), 0. 534 ( 0. 464-0. 604) , and 0. 830 ( 0. 760-0. 900 ) , respectively, for non-experts. Acetic acid with NBI-ME showed good interobserver agreement. Conclusion Acetic acid with NBI-ME has a higher diagnostic accuracy and good reproducibility for colorectal small polyps compared with ME and NBI-ME.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for preoperative hypoxemia in geriatric patients with hip fracture.Methods:A case-control study was used to analyze the clinical data of 99 geriatric patients with hip fracture admitted to Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University between November 2020 and August 2021. There were 29 males and 70 females, aged 67-96 years [(82.6±6.2)years]. The patients were divided into hypoxemia group ( n=51) and non-hypoxemia group ( n=48) using partial arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2)<80 mmHg while breathing room air at emergency as the reference standard. The two groups were compared in terms of sex, age, fracture types, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, pulmonary diseases diagnosed by preoperative chest CT [atelectasis, pleural effusion, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)], time from injury to visit, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, Barthel index, KATZ index, modified Medicine Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale, numeric rating scale (NRS), smoking, drinking, comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, Parkinson′s disease, Alzheimer′s disease, cerebral infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease), body temperature, blood routine test at first examination (erythrocyte count, leukocyte count, C-reactive protein, hemoglobin), biochemistry (serum albumin, blood glucose, blood creatinine, blood urea nitrogen), electrolyte (serum potassium, serum sodium), and other related examinations [D-dimer, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), lactic acid]. Univariate analysis was performed to the correlation of those indicators with preoperative hypoxemia. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for preoperative hypoxemia in geriatric patients with hip fracture. Results:Differences in sex, age, fracture types, BMI, pulmonary diseases diagnosed by preoperative chest CT, time from injury to visit, Barthel index, KATZ index, NRS, smoking, drinking, comorbidities, body temperature, first laboratory results of erythrocyte count, biochemistry, electrolyte and other related examinations were not statistically significant between the two groups (all P>0.05). The two groups showed statistical differences in ASA classification, NYHA classification, mMRC dyspnea scale, leukocyte count at first examination, C-reaction protein and hemoglobin (all P<0.05). Univariate analysis indicated that ASA classification, NYHA classification, mMRC dyspnea scale, leukocyte count at first examination and C-reaction protein were correlated with the occurrence of preoperative hypoxemia in geriatric patients with hip fracture (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regressions analysis indicated that higher mMRC dyspnea scale ( OR=2.30, 95% CI 1.10-4.81, P<0.05), higher leukocyte count at first examination ( OR=1.24, 95% CI 1.05-1.45, P<0.05), higher level of C-reaction protein ( OR=1.02, 95% CI 1.01-1.03, P<0.05) and higher level of hemoglobin ( OR=1.04, 95% CI 1.01-1.07, P<0.05) were significantly correlated with the occurrence of preoperative hypoxemia in geriatric patients with hip fracture. Conclusion:Higher mMRC dyspnea scale, higher leukocyte count, higher level of C-reaction protein and higher level of hemoglobin are independent risk factors for preoperative hypoxemia in geriatric patients with hip fracture.

Objective:To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes of the aged patients with unstable proximal humeral fracture (UPHF) treated with a locking plate and an intramedullary titanium mesh.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 43 aged patients with UPHF who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedics, Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from January 2017 to July 2019. There were 13 males and 30 females with an age of (71.3±10.3) years (from 60 to 83 years). All patients were treated with a locking plate and an intramedullary titanium mesh to support. The postoperative imaging measurements included changes in humeral head height (HHH) and neck-shaft angle (NSA) (the difference between 3 years after surgery and the second day after surgery, taken as an absolute value); the postoperative clinical measurements included visual analogue scale (VAS), range of shoulder motion, Constant-Murley shoulder functional score (Constant score), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and incidence of complications.Results:All patients were followed up for (39.2±2.3) months after surgery. The change in HHH at 3 years after surgery was (1.5±1.1) mm, and the change in NSA at 3 years after surgery 3.3°±2.6°. At 3 years after surgery, the VAS score was (2.2±1.3) points, the Constant score (79.2±9.1) points, and the ASES score (78.9±9.2) points; the range of forward extension was 143.2°±20.8°, the range of outward extension 139.3°±23.1°, and the range of outward rotation 55.1°±4.7°. Complications after surgery were found in 6 patients, including humeral head necrosis in 2 cases, ectopic ossification in 1 case, and infection in 3 cases.Conclusion:In the treatment of the aged patients with UPHF, a locking plate combined with an intramedullary titanium mesh can help to restore the medial column support, leading to fine radiological and clinical outcomes.
