[Objective]To evaluate the results of therapy with knee joint synovectomy or articular irrigation in rheumatoid arthritis.[Method]Thirty-six knees in 32 rheumatoid arthritis patients-according to ARA standard were performed with knee joint synoveetomy and articular irrigation.Twenty-two knees in 20 patients(most in grade Ⅰ)were treated with knee joint cavity irrigation operation combined with intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid,and 14 knees in 12 cases(most in grade Ⅱ)with knee joint synovectomy,All 32 patients received routine anti-rheumatoid drug therapy preoperatively and postoperatively,and were followed-up for 6 months.All the cases were evaluated by the Lysholm scale.[Result]The early symptoms of all knee joints were improved.The excellent and good result rate of articular irrigation-group was 86.4%,and in synovectomy-group was 85.7%.[Conclusion]Satisfactory results can be obtained through articular irrigation combined with intra-articular rejection of hyaluronic acid and concomitant anti-rheumatoid drug therapy in early-stage of rheonmtoid arthritis,but for mid-stage patients,especially with hyperplasia synovium and deslxoyed cartilage,joint synoveetom should he performed early in order to obtain favoring rehabilitation.

Objective To explore the measures to prevent recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN)injury during thyroid surgery.Methods The clinical data of 223 patients undergone thyroid surgery were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 223 surgeries,69 sides were undergone regional protection act of RLN and 191 sides were performed RLN exposure.Results There were 2 cases of RLN injury from the regional protection operation of RLN,including 1 case of temporary nerve injury which could be resulted from surgery clamp and 1 case of permanent nerve injury which might be caused by mistaking ligation during surgery.There was only 1 case of temporary nerve injury in RLN exposure procedure which was probably caused by the postoperative nerve edema and was recovered 2 months after the operation.The total RLN injury rate was 1.35％.Conclusion For benign thyroid lesions and non-dorsal lesions or during partial excision of the gland,the regional protection of RLN is helpful to prevent RLN injury.In cases with dorsal lesions of thyroid or contralateral RLN injury,or during lobe subtotal resection,lobe resection and reoperation,exposing RLN to prevent injury is necessary.Taking different approaches based on the profiles of lesions and surgical procedures to prevent RLN injury can significantly reduce the risk of RLN injury.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of pulsed ultrasound on skeletal muscle fibrosis after injury.Methods Thirty elderly male rats with gastrocnemius muscle injury were divided into an ultrasound group (UG) and a control group (CG) using a random number table.The injured muscles in the UG were treated using pulsed ultrasound (frequency 1 MHz,average strength 40 mW/cm2,duty cycle 20％) for 10 min daily from day 3 after the injury.The CG was given no treatment.On days 3,7,14,21 and 28 after the injury,histological and immunohistochemical analyses of the gastrocnemius muscles of both groups were performed.Results The collagen fiber mean optical density of the muscles increased gradually after the injury and reached its peak on day 21.It was significantly lower in the UG than in the CG on each test day.The expression of α-SMA increased gradually after the injury,but it too remained significantly lower in UG than that in CG.Conclusion Pulsed ultrasound may reduce collagen formation and α-SMA expression in injured skeletal muscle,and then inhibit muscle fibrosis.

Objective To establish and observe the canine model with esophageal stent implantation for further study of the benign stenosis caused by proliferation.Methods According to orthogonal design,different combinations of two stents and six polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) patches were confirmed.Stent was designed as cylinder with mushroom shape on both ends.Beagle dogs (weight 10-12 kg) were adopted and cervical segment of esophagus were dissected.After PTFE patch was encircled around the esophagus,stent was delivered under fluoroscopy.The main body of the stent was located in accordance with the patch.Eating condition and position of the stent were followed on week 1,2,4,6 and 8.Gross specimen was harvested at the end point,and the degree of tissue hyperplasia was evaluated.Each animal model was given a mark according to the eating condition and tissue hyperplasia.Results Eight combinations of stent and patch were provided with orthogonal design.Three models failed for the following reasons:unable to eat in one dog,stent disgorged out in another,and the third died from esophageal necrosis between stent and patch.Four models had obvious tissue hyperplasia on the segment of stent,and weight loss or stent dislocation were observed in each model.One model developed appropriate tissue hyperplasia with normal diet,and stent dislocation was not found during the follow-up.Significant difference was confirmed among 8 models (F =14.7000,P =0.031).Conclusion Animal model with appropriate tissue hyperplasia could be established with following elements:beagle dogs weight from 10 kg to 12 kg; stent 50 mm in length,20 mm in diameter,with top mushroom 10 mm in length,30 mm in diameter,and end mushroom 10 mm in length,25 mm in diameter; PTFE patch 60 mm in length,15 mm in width.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects of anatomical reconstruction of the deltoid ligament and medial migration calcaneal osteotomy in the treatment of chronic ankle instability after trauma.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze of the clinical data of 16 patients with chronic post-traumatic instability of the medial malleolus who had been treated at The Eighth Department of Orthopedics, Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2015 to February 2017. There were 14 males and 2 females with an age of (28.1±4.2) years. Seven left sides and 9 right sides were affected; the time from injury to operation was (8.9±2.4) months. Before operation, X-rays (anteroposterior, lateral and Saltzman views) and MRI of weight-bearing ankle were taken. All patients were treated by anatomical reconstruction of the deltoid ligament using the autologous semitendinosus and medial migration osteotomy of the calcaneus. The time for injury healing and occurrence of complications were recorded. The talus tilt angle, Meary angle, hindfoot valgus angle, visual analogue scale (VAS), and the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot function score were compared between the preoperation and the last follow-up. The Sefton evaluation for efficacy in ankle ligament reconstruction was used to assess stability of the ankle joint.Results:Of this cohort, 14 patients were followed up for (16.4±4.9) months after operation and 2 patients lost to follow-up. The 14 patients all returned to normal physical activities 3 months after operation. All incisions healed at the first stage with no infection. One patient experienced pain at the site for harvest of the semitendinosus but the symptoms were relieved after rehabilitation treatment like massage and physical therapy. At the last follow-up, the talus tilt angle [1.0 (0.0, 2.0)°], Meary angle (1.4°±4.2°), hindfoot valgus angle (3.2°±2.4°), VAS score [0.5 (0.0, 1.0) points], and AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score [(89.2±6.1) points] were all significantly improved compared with the preoperative values [8.3°±1.8°, 0.8°±3.8°, 9.9°±3.4°, (5.7±2.5) points, and (49.6±9.8) points] (all P<0.05). According to the Sefton evaluation, the stability of the ankle joint was excellent in 9 cases, good in 4 cases, and fair in 1 case. Conclusion:In the treatment of chronic ankle instability after trauma, anatomical reconstruction of the deltoid ligament and medial migration calcaneal osteotomy is safe and effective, resulting in limited complications.

Objective To explore the clinic application value of ultrasonography examination of optic nerve sheath diameter(ONSD) in brain injury.Methods From July 2008-June 2011,90 cases of brain injured patients were chosen as experimental group including light (A group),medium (B group),and heavy (C group) brain injured patients according to the admission GCS score ;50 cases of conventional physical examination and 90 cases of volunteers 50 in neurosurgical outpatient were chosen as control group.The ONSD of both groups were measured 3 mm behind the globe through orbital using color sonographic with different time after admission.3 times measurements were carried out for every optic nerve sheath.All client's ONSD mean and standard deviation were calculated.In 0.5 h after color dopplar ultrasound examination,lumbar vertebra puncturing measured intracranial pressure in different groups.Results After admission (1d,3 d,7 d,14 d),the ONSD of A group was (4.54 ±0.32)mm,(4.42 ±0.30)mm,(4.44 ±0.32) m,and (4.43 ± 0.25) mm,respectively; The ONSD of B groups was (4.48 ± 0.28) mm,(4.52 ± 0.24) mm,(4.46 ±0.28)mm,and (4.38 ±0.22)mm,respectively; The ONSD of C group was (5.67 ±0.35)mm,(6.36 ± 0.42) mm,(5.65 ± 0.23) mm,and (4.76 ± 0.35) mm,respectively.After admission (1 d,3 d,7 d,14 d),the intracranial pressure (IP) of A group was (82 ± 11) mmH2O,(79 ± 12) mmH2O,(90 ±15) mmH2O,and (86 ± 14) mmH2O,respectively; The IP of B group was (78 ± 15) mmH2O,(85 ± 10)mmH2O,(78 ± 16) mmH2O,(80 ± 11) mmH2O,The IP of C group was (225 ± 26) mmH2 O,(288 ± 23)mmH2O,(256 ± 23) mmH2O,(122 ± 18) mmH2O,respectively.Group D had the ONSD average of (4.58± 0.41)mm and IP of (88 ± 10)mmH2O after eyeball 3-mm place.No difference was found between A and B,A and D,or B and D (P＞0.05) ; A difference was found between A and C,B and C,or D and C (t =12.24～24.67,P＜0.01).Conclusions The ONSD and IP in light medium brain injured patients had no change.In patients with severe brain injury,IP changed with the time after injury,the ONSD increased with the IP,the ultrasonography examination of ONSD with the important value in the diagnosis and treatment can respond the IP increase,which is a non-invasion,convenient,fast,and feasible method for evaluation of cranial high pressure.

Objective:To explore the application of microvascular flow imaging (MVFI) combined with high-frequency ultrasonography in children with haemophilic arthropathy A (HAA).Methods:Retrospective study.A total of 82 children diagnosed with HAA in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2018 to October 2020 were recruited.The elbow, knee and ankle joints of each child were examined by high-frequency ultrasonography.The numbers of thickened synovial joints were recorded.Blood flow signals of the thickening of synovial joints was checked by the MVFI and power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS), respectively.Color flow signals were graded by the semi-quantitative scoring systems.The chi- square test and independent multi-group ordinal multi-category rank-sum test were used to compare the differences of MVFI and PDUS in the display of thickened synovial blood flow. Results:A total of 254 joints were involved in 82 children with HAA, including synovial hypertrophy in 188 joints, hydrops articuli in 146 joints, fibrotic septa in 66 joints, cartilage damage in 63 joints, haemosider indeposition in 45 joints, bone erosion in 25 joints, osteophytes in 15 joints and bone remodeling in 8 joints.Grade Ⅱ synovial thickened joints were the most common.The proportion of blood flow signals detected by PDUS in thickened synovial membranes was significantly higher than that detected MVFI (52.66% vs.70.21%, χ2=12.225, P<0.05). Numbers of grade 0 and Ⅰ joints with thickened synovial membranes detected by MVFI were less than those of PDUS, while the opposite result was obtained in detecting grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ joints ( H=21.158, P<0.05). Compared with PDUS, MVFI more sensitively visualized the blood flow of the thickened synovial membrane. Conclusions:MVFI can more prominently detect the thickened synovial blood flow in children with HAA.A combined application of MVFI and high-frequency ultrasonography contributes to the evaluation of children with HAA.

Objective:To investigate the performance of optical surface imaging (OSI) in the postmastectomy radiotherapy setup and to assess the effects of 3D printed silicone bolus on OSI detection precision.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for 16 patients treated with left-sided postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) in West China Hopital, Sichuan University from January to April, 2021. The setup errors of 16 patients without bolus detected using OSI (OSI no-bolus, OSI n) were obtained before error correction was conducted using cone-beam CT (CBCT). The correlation between OSI n and CBCT was analyzed, and then the diagnostic efficacy of OSI was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The setup errors of six patients with 3D printed silicone bolus detected using OSI (OSI bolus, OSI b) were obtained through off-line image registration, and then the detection precision of OSI n and OSI b in the translational directions was compared. Results:The setup errors in the case of OSI n were highly correlated with CBCT in the translational direction ( r ≥ 0.80), but were weakly correlated in the rotation direction ( r < 0.40). In the ROC analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) in the y direction was the lowest and was in the order of AUC 5 mm ≥AUC 3 mm > 0.75 for any translational direction. The difference in the detection precision between OSI n and OSI b was not statistically significant in the x and z directions ( P > 0.05), but was statistically significant in the y direction ( Z = -2.56, P = 0.01). In the y direction, the systematic error of detection precision in the case of OSI b was 3.11 mm higher than that in the case of OSI n, and the random error of detection precision in the case of OSI b was 1.9 mm higher than that in the case of OSI n. Conclusions:OSI cannot yet substitute CBCT in the postmastectomy radiotherapy setup, but its detection error is still within the clinically acceptable range. The performance of OSI-assisted setup is expected to be further improved by mitigating the interference of factors such as bolus in the imaging path through operational training.
