Objective To evaluate the prevalence of full thickness rotator cuff tear in patients with proximal humeral fractures,and the relationships between different risk factors.Methods Data of 113 patients with proximal humeral fractures from January 2014 to January 2016 who underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed.The general characteristics of patients (age,sex,cause of injury) were recorded and the rotator cuff was evaluated preoperatively on MRI and explored intra-operatively.We calculated and compared the incidence rate of age,sex in patients with and without rotator cuff tear.And the incidence rate of rotator cuff tear in different types of fracture according to Neer classification was calculated.Results The full thickness ro tator cuff tear were indentified in 28 patients (24.8％),and 21 of them had been confirmed by MRI preoperatively.Statistical significant difference was found between patients with rotator cuff tear group (average of 75.11± 10.89 years old) and without rotator cuff tear group (64.68± 13.43) for the age of the patient.Full thickness rotator cuff tear was most common in Neer 3 GT fracture (33.3％,8/54),followed by Neer 2 GT (26.67％,4/15) and Neer 2 SN (17.65,6/34),however,no full thickness rotator was found in Neer 4 type fracture.There were 4 patients with total rotator cuff tear who had symptom of shoulder before the operation.The other 24 patients had no symptom of shoulder.Conclusion Patient age was found as a risk factor for full thickness rotator cuff tear in humeral proximal fractures with the rate of 24.8％.Full thickness rotator cuff tear was most common in Neer 3 GT fracture.

OBJECTIVE: Digital therapy is important in treating motor system disease. The outcome of digital therapy in post-operative rehabilitation of knee anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is assessed. METHODS: 142 patients are treated with digital rehabilitation therapy after ACL reconstruction. Patients' pain score, joint motion, lower limb function score, anxiety score are statistically analyzed. Patients' satisfaction, device usage and adverse events are documented. RESULTS: At post-operative 1st day, 8th weeks, 12th weeks, pain score are 4, 2, 1, knee joint range of motion are 55°, 110°, 143°, lower limb function score are 18, 56, 76, anxiety score are 32.5, 26, 23.5 respectively. Patients' satisfaction are 9.4. Mean duration of device usage is (177.6±38.0) minutes per week. Rehabilitation-related and device-related adverse event does not happen. CONCLUSIONS Digital therapy promotes post-operative rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction.

Objective : To explore and optimize the in vitro primary culture method of astrocytes in neonatal mouse cerebral cortex , which provides a better solution for the in vitro culture of astrocytes. Methods : In order to optimize the in vitro culture method of mouse cerebral cortex astrocytes , 3 ⁃day⁃old C57BL/6J mouse cerebral cortex tissues were taken , meninges and blood vessels were removed , digested by pancreatic enzymes and centrifuged , andhigh⁃glucose dulbecco ′s modified eagle medium (DMEM) was added to form cell suspension , which was purified by differential adhesion method , cross hand method and constant temperature shaking method.The cells were inoculated in poly⁃D ⁃lysine⁃coated culture bottles with different culture densities , and the purity of astrocytes was determined by morphological ob servation and immunofluorescence staining. Results : The cells were inoculated at a density of 5 × 106 cells per bottle with good effect and high activity. The purity of astrocytes reached 99% by using high sugar DMEM medium combined with differential adhesion method , cross hand method and constant temperature shaking method. Conclusion The primary culture method of astrocytes in mouse cerebral cortex is successfully established and optimized.
