Locking compression plate(LCP)functions as an internal fixator in orthopedic surgery.It is a new screw-plate system developed by combining the traditional plating techniques with the principles of AO internal fixator.Compared with them,LCP omits pre-bending,avoids large-area exposure of fracture site,minimizes the damage to soft tissue,significantly reduces implant failure and decreases the incidence of infection and bone non-union.In addition,LCP can function as internal fixator with multiple anchor points to improve stability.All these properties of LCP accord with BO internal fixation principles and expand the application in the treatment of complex fracture.However,it is still not uncertain about the appropriate application of LCP including plate length,appearance,and type,and principles of screw application such as the number,type,sequence and position of screws.

BACKGROUND: With the development of neural interventional therapy, the application of covered stents in neural intervention is becoming a topic of general interest.OBJECTIVE: To introduce the structure of stent-graft, and to summary the application of covered stents in clinical treatment of the neural interventional therapy and the shortage of covered stents.RETRIEVAL STRATEGY:The relevant articled were searched for in Pubmed database by researcher of this article with the key words of "stent graft, covered stents, cerebrovascular disease" in English, and with the key words of "covered stent, cerebrovascular disease" in Chinese in VIP database. 223 English and 196 Chinese articles were selected and reviewed primarily. Inclusive criteria: Articles having a close relation with the application of covered stents in neural intervention, especially in cerebrovascular disease, and the latest articles or articles published in authority journals in the same field were chosen. Exclusive criteria: articles with repetitive studies were excluded.LITERATURE EVALUATION: 223 English and 196 Chinese articles were primarily checked by reading titles and abstracts. Among the 31 collected articles, 4 are reviews, 3 are experimental studies and others are clinical studies.DATA SYNTHESIS: Covered stents show special advantages in neural interventional therapy and become a hot spot in present study. There are individual case reports or small group case reports on the application of covered stents in hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease. It is reported that the covered stent effectively occludes aneurysm, dissecting aneurysm and arteriovenous fistula, keeps patency of the parent artery. The covered stent isolates ulcerated plaque via physical barriers, avoids the abscission of embolus, which can further reduce the development of embolism in percutaneous carotid artery stenting. After releasing covered stents, polytetrafluoroethylene makes the disepiment smooth. Its good biocompatibility reduces thrombosis, and then decreases the incidence of restenosis. Covered stents in vessel for cerebrovascular disease have achieved good effects, but there are some problems in clinic as follows. ①The main shortage of covered stents is to occlude small branch vessels. ②Thrombosis and restenosis occur after covered stenting. ③Covered stents increase the volume of the stent, reduce the compliance and flexibility of the stents, and increase the pushing difficulty and vascular injury. ④Covered stents cannot be used in vessels of less than 4 mm.CONCLUSION: Covered stents for intracranial ischemic and hemorrhagic diseases shows significant outcomes, but there are disadvantages. With the clarification of the related theories and the improvement of new material technology, there will be a brighter future of the application of covered stents for treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.

Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and efficiency of endovascular treatment for patients with aorto-bilateral-iliac artery total occlusive disease.Methods A total of 35 patients with aorto-bi-iliac artery total occlusive disease treated with endovascular therapy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the First Hospital of Shijiazhuang between Jan 2012 and Dec 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 33 males and 2 females, mean age (67 ± 6) years treated during the study period.Technical success rate was 100％.129 bare stents and 4 covered stents were implanted.There were no peri-operative death.Postoperative leg ankle brachial index (ABI) improved significantly (0.86 vs.0.28, P ＜ 0.28).Postoperative complications occurred in 2 patients (5.7％), including brachial artery thrombosis and rupture of external iliac artery post-dilation.The mean follow-up period was 16.5 months (2-28 months).Two patients (5.7％) were lost to follow up.Re-intervention was performed in 3 patients (8.6％) due to reocclusion of the stents.Primary patency was 91％ (30/33) Conclusions Endovascular treatment is effective for aorto-bi-iliac artery total occlusive disease with low complications and acceptable mid-term patent rate.

BACKGROUND:Although there are many studies addressing osteoarthritis in China, population-based epidemiological studies of knee osteoarthritis have been rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To explore and analyze the clinical efficacy of early ladder-like treatment in knee osteoarthritis patients from Zoucheng city in the southwest of Shandong province based on an epidemiological investigation. METHODS: A total of 3 427 people randomly enroled from Zoucheng city located in the southwest of Shandong province in 2008 were taken as research objects. A self-designed epidemiological survey on knee osteoarthritis was carried out to analyze the sex, age, urban and rural distribution, and incidence of knee osteoarthritis. According to Kelgren Lawrence Grading, 208 patients with levels 0, I, II of knee osteoarthritis were randomly selected and divided into two groups: surgical treatment group was given intraarticular injection, intraarticular rinsing, arthroscopic treatment and functional exercise; oral drug group was only given oral administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and blood circulation drugs. Ninety-eight patients in the surgical treatment group and 87 in the oral drug group were folowed-up for over 1 year. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The incidence of knee osteoarthritis showed an increasing trend with aging in Zoucheng city. There were 33.2% patients who did not receive treatment, 53.2% patients who received irregular treatment, and only 13.6 patients who could folow the doctor’s advice. The excelent rate and total effective rate were higher in the surgical treatment group (81% and 99%) than the control group (34% and 87%;P < 0.01). This epidemiological investigation exerts a certain protective role in the occurrence and development of knee osteoarthritis, and active early ladder-like treatment has achieved good outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
