Objective:To compare the postoperative tunnel enlargement and clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using the all-inside technique with the traditional outside-in graft introduction technique.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 47 patients with ACL injuries who were admitted to the First Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China between December 2021 and July 2022. The patients were categorized into two groups based on the surgical approach used for ACL reconstruction. There were 25 cases in the all-inside group, 18 males and 7 females, aged 27.72±7.33 years, 17 cases on the left side and 8 cases on the right side; 22 cases in the traditional group, 11 males and 11 females, aged 27.82±7.12 years, 11 cases on the left side and 11 cases on the right side. Clinical parameters including the length of hospital stay, surgical duration, pain levels assessed via the visual analogue scale (VAS), Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, and Tegner score were recorded and compared between the two groups. Additionally, femoral and tibial tunnel enlargement was evaluated using postoperative CT scans conducted one year after surgery.Results:All patients were followed up for 15.64±2.04 months (range, 12-21 months). The mean operation time was 178.60±42.90 min in the all-inside group and 133.60±28.77 min in the traditional group, indicating a statistically significant longer operation time in the all-inside group ( P<0.05). On postoperative days 1 and 15, the VAS scores were lower in the all-inside group (7.08±1.29 and 5.56±1.33 points) compared to the conventional group (7.96±1.29 and 6.32±1.13 points), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). However, the differences in VAS scores between the two groups at postoperative months 1, 6, and 12 were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The preoperative Lysholm, IKDC, and Tegner scores in the all-inside group and the conventional group were 34.00±18.63, 36.24±15.01, 1.20±1.12 points and 36.18±13.64, 38.23±14.94, 1.55±1.14 points, respectively, and at 6 months after surgery, respectively were 72.60±13.95, 74.12±12.03, 3.56±1.05 points, and 68.41±10.80, 66.59±17.93, 3.23±1.15 points, and at 12 months postoperatively were 92.32±5.23, 81.40±7.24, 5.28±1.62 points and 91.27±6.32, 82.18±7.26, 4.96±1.25 points. Both groups improved at 6 months postoperatively compared with preoperatively ( P<0.05), and further improved at 12 months postoperatively compared with 6 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), but the differences in each functional score between the two groups were not statistically significant at all time points ( P>0.05). At 1 year postoperatively, the values of femoral and tibial tunnel enlargement in the all-inside group (1.78±1.03 mm, 1.18±0.97 mm) were smaller than those in the conventional group (2.30±1.33 mm, 1.83±1.00 mm), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The difference between the femoral side tunnel enlargement and tibial side enlargement in the traditional group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05), while the femoral side enlargement in the all-inside group was significantly larger than the tibial side ( P<0.05). The difference in Lysholm, IKDC and Tegner scores between grade 0 and grade 1 tunnel enlargement on the femoral side and tibial side was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The short-term clinical outcomes following ACL reconstruction using the all-inside technique versus the traditional tunnel technique were comparable. However, early postoperative pain was less severe with the all-inside technique, and tunnel enlargement was smaller. The degree of bone tunnel enlargement did not significantly impact early clinical outcomes.

Different geographic seed sources (80) of Jatropha curcas L. were collected in South China and planted in a germplasm resource garden to study their biological and agricultural properties. The average ground diameter, tree height and crown size of two-year old plants of the 80 sources was 7.6 cm, 167 cm and 114 cm, respectively, the average 1000-seed weight was 0.676 (0.477-0.876) kg. The trees grew further to the average size of 12.6 cm diameter, 2.69 m height and 2.1 m crown at the 4th year. Among the 80 sources, six sources had higher oil yield (seed oil content of 40%-42%) and better behaving in expression of phenotype were selected for a small-scale trial of forestation to determine oil yield. Among them a provenance with outstand in expression of phenotype yielded 964.3, 2000.6 and 2858.7 kg/ha was achieved for two- three- and four-year old trees, respectively. Additionally, a new Jatropha mutant was found in the wild and hybridization experiments showed that its oil content increased by 6%.

Objective:To integrate the best evidence of sexual health management for colorectal cancer patients both domestically and internationally, so as to provide guidance for clinical practice.Methods:Evidence on sexual health management of colorectal cancer patients in domestic and foreign databases and websites was systematically searched, and evidence from literature that met quality evaluation standards was extracted and summarized. The search period was from July 2003 to July 2023.Results:A total of 16 articles were included, including five clinical decisions, six clinical practice guidelines, three expert consensus/group standards, and two systematic reviews. Thirty-four recommended opinions were formed, including eight aspects of evaluation and screening, assessment tools, manifestations of sexual dysfunction, coping strategies for sexual problems, psychological intervention, measures for fertility protection, health education, and follow-up management.Conclusions:This study summarizes the best evidence for sexual health management in colorectal cancer patients. It is necessary to selectively apply evidence based on the evaluation of patient conditions by medical and nursing staff and clinical situations to ensure effective and scientific sexual health management strategies for patients, and promote the translation of best evidence into clinical practice.

Objective:To discuss the diagnostic methods, clinical features and treatment options of bronchogenic cysts.Methods:A total of 86 patients with bronchogenic cysts and 5 patients with esophageal cysts and esophageal cysts were selected from January 2011 to May 2020 in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Harbin Medical University. There were 37 males and 49 females with bronchogenic cysts, aged 23 to 70(49.27±10.70)years old. According to the location of the disease, the patients were divided into mediastinal type(65 cases, 75.6%); intrapulmonary type(21 cases, 24.4%); bronchogenic cyst originating from the esophagus(9 cases, 10.5%).Results:The preoperative diagnosis coincidence rate was 9.3% in 8 cases. The rate of thoracoscopic surgery(59.3% in 51 cases), compared with the indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube after thoracotomy[(3.80±1.25) days vs.(4.97±1.54)days, P<0.001] and hospital stay[(7.08±1.75) days vs.(9.60±2.58)days, P<0.001] significantly shortened. 65 cases(71.4%, 65/91) were successfully followed up, with a median follow-up time of 34(2-111) months, and no recurrence was found. Conclusion:Bronchial cysts have no characteristic clinical manifestations, and it is difficult to make a clear diagnosis before surgery. Chest MRI has a great advantage in the diagnosis of cysts. For most cases, thoracoscopic surgery can achieve better clinical treatment results and has minimally invasive advantages. It is difficult to distinguish between bronchogenic cysts that originated in the esophagus and esophageal cysts, and there is no significant difference in clinical characteristics.
