1.Biological characteristics of hydroxyapatite artificial eye mount
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(44):-
Hydroxyapatite artificial eye mount has no toxicity,no sensitization and good histocompatibility.Its porous structure is beneficial for the ingrowth of new vessels and fibrous tissues,thereby it is the main implant of orbital reconstruction following enucleation.With the wide application in clinics,hydroxyapatite artificial eye mount also show some complications such as conjunctival humbling,erosion,split and artificial eye mount exposure.There are many causes for these complications and the most one is the stimulation and wearing of orbital soft tissues induced by crude implants,as well as the delaying in vessels.Using autologous or variant tissue for covering or encapsulating the anterior artificial eye mount,the mount will be strengthen and become smooth,thereby reducing the friction.Autologous sclera is superior to other encapsulating materials.

Objective To compare the levels of the serum pepsinogen (PG) in the gastric diseases, and explore the diagnostic value in gastric diseases. Methods Two hundred and fourteen patients who had undergone endoscopy were selected, and the patients were divided into 3 groups according to the results of endoscope pathological diagnosis:chronic superficial gastritis (CSG) group ( 70 cases), chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) group (86 cases) and gastric cancer (GC) group (58 cases). The quantitative chemiluminescence method was used to test serum PGⅠand PGⅡ, and the PGⅠ/PGⅡratio (PGR) was calculated. Results The PGⅠin GC group was significantly higher than that in CAG group: (78.41 ± 55.42) μg/L vs. (53.10 ± 30.08) μg/L, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in PGⅠbetween GC group and CSG group (P>0.05). The PGⅡin GC group was significantly higher than that in CAG group and CSG group: (23.26 ± 17.80) μg/L vs. (13.12 ± 10.23) and (13.78 ± 9.26) μg/L, the PGR was significantly lower than that in CAG group and CSG group:3.67±2.03 vs. 4.88 ± 1.82 and 5.24 ± 1.88, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Helicobacter pylori (Hp) was detected in 165 patients, with positive in 29 cases (Hp positive group) and negative in 136 cases (Hp negative group). There was no statistical difference in PG Ⅰ between Hp negative group an Hp positive group:(60.46 ± 45.49)μg/L vs. (72.41 ± 31.85)μg/L, P>0.05. The PGⅡin Hp positive group was significantly higher than that in Hp negative group: (19.58 ± 1.57) μg/L vs. (14.09 ± 13.21) μg/L, the PGR was significantly lower than that in Hp negative group: 3.82 ± 0.18 vs. 4.99 ± 0.18, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with that in the CSG and CAG patients, the PG Ⅱ in GC patients increases significantly, while PGR descends significantly, but PG Ⅰ has no correlation with the risk of GC. The PG Ⅱ combined with PGR can predict people with high risk of GC, and help with the judgment of Hp infection.

Due to its great clinical significance, brain injury following cardiac arrest (CA) has attracted more attention now. Meanwhile, there are currently no approved real time objective methods used to monitor brain injury following CA. In this study, we adopt the method of nonextensive Kullback-Leibler Entropy in investigating the HRV signals from brain injury and compare the result with that of corresponding EEG analysis. The comparative analysis shows that Kullback-Leibler Entropy can reveal the injury level of brain following CA. And we propose a novel quantitative approach for monitoring brain injury.

Objective To investigate the cognition and compliance of medical staff in a hospital on fasting and water deprivation scheme recommended by related practice guideline and to explore its influencing factors, so as to provide an empirical evidence for further perfecting the system of preoperative preparation and improving the experience of patients to seeking medical advice. Methods A total of 237 medical personnels met the inclusion criteria were investigated with the self-designed cognition and behavior of medical staff on fasting scheme questionnaire by cross-sectional study from August to December 2016. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of the cognition and compliance of medical staff on fasting and water deprivation scheme before surgery. Results A total of 233 valid questionnaires recovered with valid recovery rate of 98.3%. There were 20.6% of the medical staff with the same cognition on the best time of fasting and water deprivation before surgery with the guidelines. There were 59.7% of the medical staff who would try to provide preoperative diet guidance according to the scheme recommended by practice guideline. The training, educational background and positional titles were the major influencing factors of cognition of medical staff on fasting and water deprivation scheme (P< 0.05). The training was the major influencing factor of compliance of medical staff on fasting and water deprivation scheme (P< 0.05). Conclusions Medical staff are with inadequate understanding and low compliance on fasting and water deprivation scheme recommended by related practice guideline. Managers should further strengthen the relevant training and create a favourable work environment so as to improve the compliance of medical staff on implementing the guidelines.

Objective To understand the impact of early and timely treatment and initial antiviral treatment regimen on mortality and attrition of antiretroviral therapy. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using download data on antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected patients in Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, from the database of the Basic Information System for AIDS Control and Prevention (BISAC) from 2010 to 2020. The Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of mortality and attrition. Results A total of 15 713 infected patients were included, including 53.4% aged 18-<50 years, 69.4% male, 61.0% farmer, 75.1% CD4 count <350 cells /μL before initial antiviral treatment, the overall mortality rate was 4.30/100 person-years, and the overall attrition was 2.42/100 person-years. The results of Cox regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of mortality were pretreatment CD4 counts of 350-<500 cells/μL(AHR=0.72, 95%CI: 0.63-0.81) and ≥500 cells/μL (AHR= 0.64, 95%CI: 0.55-0.76); duration from diagnosis to initial antiviral treatment 91-180 days (AHR=1.25, 95%CI: 1.08-1.45), 181-365 days (AHR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.08-1.47), and ≥365 days (AHR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.11-1.44); initial antiviral treatment regimens of D4T+3TC+EFV/NVP (AHR=1.47, 95%CI: 1.32-1.63) and AZT/D4T/TDF+3TC+LPV/r (AHR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.50-1.99). Factors affecting attrition were pretreatment CD4 counts of 350-499 cells/μL (AHR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.16-1.50) and ≥500 cells/μL (AHR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.10-1.50); interval from HIV positivity confirmation to initial dosing ≥365 days (AHR=1.21, 95%CI: 1.04-1.40), initial antiviral treatment regimens of TDF+3TC+NVP (AHR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.13-1.55), AZT+3TC+EFV/NVP (AHR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.26-1.62) and AZT/D4T/TDF+3TC+LPV/r (AHR=1.33, 95CI%: 1.06-1.67). Conclusions Early and timely treatment and the initial antiviral treatment regimen of TDF+3TC+EFV have good efficacy, but attention should be paid to the high risk of attrition of HIV-infected people with high CD4 count before treatment.

It is difficult to maintain the initial posterior stability of the knee after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Residual posterior knee laxity after operation is a problem of PCL reconstruction. It not only results in abnormal kinematics of the knee, but also leads to secondary meniscus injury and cartilage degeneration of the affected knee, and eventually leads to knee osteoarthritis, which may especially happen with persistent and severe posterior laxity. The main reasons of residual posterior knee laxity after PCL reconstruction are: improper treatment of the posterolateral corner injury, poor positioning of the femoral tunnel, small tibial slope, and unreasonable postoperative rehabilitation. There are some concepts and technologies, such as using artificial ligaments, tibial tunnel fixation with suspensory device or suspensory device combined with interference screws, enlargement of graft diameter, all-inside reconstruction combined suture augmentation, slow and gradual postoperative rehabilitation, which can eliminate or reduce the postoperative residual laxity, in order to improve clinical outcomes after PCL reconstruction. For the patients with flat tibial slopes, double-bundle PCL reconstruction and concurrent slope-increasing tibial osteotomy is suggested. It can reduce the risk of posterior laxity and improve the stability of the knee after operation.

Objective:
To study laparoscopic ultrasound assisted hepatectomy in treatment of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stones.
Methods:
The data of 52 patients with hepatolithiasis who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy from May 2014 to January 2019 at the Fuyang District First People's Hospital in Hangzhou were analyzed retrospectively. There were 28 men and 24 women. The median age was 56 years. Operative laparoscopic ultrasonography was used to detect the location, size, distribution of stones and their relations to blood vessels. A total of 43 patients underwent anatomic hepatectomy, while 38 patients underwent choledochoscopic stone extraction. A " T" tube was used according to intraoperative conditions.
Results:
Laparoscopic surgery was successfully carried out in 50 patients, while conversion to open surgery was required in 2 patients because of adhesions and bleeding. Laparoscopic ultrasonography revealed intrahepatic calcifications in 5 patients and choledochoscopy in 2 patients. Postoperative complications included 5 patients who devleoped abdominal abscesses. The operation time was (289.0±132.0) minutes. The intraoperative blood loss was (451.0±256.0) ml. The hospitalization after operation was (12.0±3.0) days. In 52 patients, 4 patients had residual stones and the residual rate was 7.7%. All of them were completely removed by T-tube sinus 8 weeks after operation.
Conclusions
Laparoscopic ultrasound helped to detect relevant bile ducts containing stones, reduced chance of bleeding in surgery, helped to clarify location and distribution of stones, improved accuracy of diagnosis, and reduced unnecessary hepatectomy by clearly defining intrahepatic bile duct stones intraoperatively. The residual intrahepatic and intrahepatic bile duct stones rates were reduced, and the safety and accuracy of the operations were improved.
