BACKGROUND:Postoperative acute mental disorders refer to patients without mental disorders suffer from neurological dysfunction after surgery. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the association between psychological resilience and postoperative acute mental disorders after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS:Convenience sampling, the Chinese Version of Connor and Davidson's resilience scale (CD-RISC), was used to measure the levels of psychological resilience in 832 patients undergoing TKA. The questionnaire covered three dimensions:tenacity, self-improvement and optimism. The incidence of postoperative acute mental disorders was observed after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The CD-RISC scores of the patients with TKA surgery were (57.64±10.07), lower than the average scores of the elderly community in China. 20 (2.4%) patients had postoperative acute mental disorders. (2) Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated the negative correlation between the levels ofresilience and the incidence of postoperative acute mental disorders (r=-2.43, P<0.05). (3) Patients with lower psychological resilience levels had a higher incidence of postoperative acute mental disorders. Developing psychological resilience may become an important strategy to reduce the occurrence of postoperative acute mental disorders.

Objective To investigate the effect of different additional filtration thickness of DSA on image quality and radiation dose with cerebral angiography. Methods Prospective collected 90 patients with DSA examination of the whole cerebral artery, patients were divided into A, B and C group according to the time of the examination, each group included 30 cases. Patients underwent conventional DSA, the additional filtration of group A, B and C were (1.0 mmAl+0.1 mmCu), (1.0 mmAl+0.4 mmCu) and (1.0 mmAl+0.9 mmCu), respectively. Dose area product (DAP), air kerma (AK), tube current and tube voltage of anteroposterior and lateral radiography of the whole brain were recorded, and scored the image quality. Eye lens organ dose values were obtained by using simulation phantom and LiF dosemeter under A, B and C groups with three different additional filtrations for cerebral angiography. The image quality scores and the radiation dosewere analyzed by one-way ANOVA tests or Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results The image quality comprehensive score of three groups showed significant difference (F=40.07,P<0. 01), which were (3.8±0.4), (3.6 ± 0.5) and (3.0 ± 0.6), respectively. The DAP and AK value of anteroposterior and lateral radiography of three groups also showed significant difference (P<0.05), B and C group were lower than the A group. Left and right eye lens organ dose were decreased along with the increase of the additional filtration thickness, and the difference between the 3 groups also had significant difference (P<0.01). Conclusion Both the image quality and radiation dose can acquire when conducted the whole brain DSA with 1.0 mmAl+0.4 mmCu additional filtration.

Objective To compare the early results of total knee arthroplasty using high flexion (HF) versus standard posterior-stabilized (PS) prosthesis tibial insert. Methods From February 2005 to July 2008, 203 patients (216 knees) underwent total knee arthroplasty using Genesis Ⅱ prosthesis and were randomly distributed into group A (98 patients with 107 knees, HF insert) or group B (105 patients with 109 knees, PS insert). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the preoperative Knee Society score (KSS) knee score, KSS function score, and range of motion. They were followed-up for 1 year and compared using KSS knee score, KSS function score and range of motion. Results 91 patients (98 knees)were followed up in group A, and 94 patients (96 knees) were followed up in group B. The postoperative knee active range of motion was 121.1°±6.9° in group A, and was 118.6°±8.1° in group B. The improvement of knee active range of motion was 17.1°±13.3° in group A, and was 16.1°±18.8° in group B. The postoperative range of passive motion of group A and group B were 127.2°±7.1° and 121.0°±7.8° respectively. The postoperative KSS knee score was 86.9±7.6 in group A, and was 87.5±6.8 in group B. The postoperative KSS function score was 91.2±8.7 in group A, and was 90.1±9.3 in group B. The range of passive motion of groupA was better than that of group B (P <0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in other aspects. Complications include deep vein thrombosis (DVT), 4 patients in group A and 3 in group B,wound fat liquefaction, 3 patients in group A and 5 in group B, synarthrophysis, 2 patients in group A and 3 in group B. Conclusion This prospective randomized clinical trial demonstrates no differences between PS and HF in early clinical outcomes, except the range of passive flexion.
