Objective To provide accurate bone tunnel positioning reference for clinical individual anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of femoral and tibial original footprint of ACL.Methods Forty volunteers were selected for this study,including 20 males and 20 females,and aged 18 to 35 years old.3D CT scanning images of knee data were obtained.3D bone models of knee and footprint of ACL were reconstructed.On the 3D reconstruction models,the shape and position of original footprint of ACL were displayed.Statistical significance was compared for their difference.Results Femoral original footprint of ACL,long axis of footprint,distances to the distal margin of the articular cartilage (DDCM),distances to the posterior margin of the articular cartilage (DPCM),double bundle center distance,and tibial original footprint short axis of ACL were significantly different between genders (P ＜ 0.05).However,no significant difference was found between genders for tibial original footprint long axis of ACL (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The insertion mark shape and nature position of footprint of ACL could be observed by 3D reconstruction using CT scan images.

Objective To study the effects of chrysophanol(Chry)on NO of brain tissue and anti-anoxia in mice with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods A total of 75 SPF Kunming mice were randomly allocated into five groups:sham operation group, ischemia-reperfusion group, high-dose group (Chry 10.0 mg ·kg-1), medium-dose group (Chry 1.0 mg ·kg-1) and low-dose group (Chry 0.1 mg ·kg-1). Using improved Himori method, cerebral ischemia reperfusion-injury model was produced in conscious mice by temporarily obstructing bilateral common carotid arteries. The neurological function was measured according to the Bederson scoring standard. The mice were subjected to decapitation for hypoxia tolerance test. The gasping time was measured by anoxia tolerance test in beheaded mice. The level of NO in cerebrum was detected. Results Chrysophanol can decrease the level of NO in cerebrum of mice with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and prolong the gasping time in beheaded mice with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury [low-dose group, (14.6±1.2) s; medium-dose group, (16.4 ± 1.2)s; high-dose group, (17.4 ± 1.1)s; ischemia-reperfusion group, (13.2 ± 1.0)s, P<0.05]. Conclusion The protective effects of chrysophanol on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury are involved in decreasing the content of NO in brain tissue and anti-anoxia in mice.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of early intervention and delayed intervention therapy on elderly patients and younger patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. Methods The patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome were randomly divided into early intervention group (coronary angiography taken within 24 hours after grouping) and delayed intervention group ( coronary angiography taken after 36 hours after grouping). The primary endpoint was a composite endpoint of death, myocardial infarction and stroke during 180 days follow-up. Results A total of 815 patients were enrolled, including 198 elderly patients aged 75 years and above, and 617 younger patients aged below 75 years. The elderly patients had a greater incidence of the primary endpoint than that of younger patients ( P = 0. 00). The primary endpoint of early intervention group were obviously lower than that of delayed intervention group of younger patients ( P = 0. 01 ). There was no significant difference in primary endpoint incidence of early intervention group and delayed intervention group of the elderly patients (P =0. 39). Conclusions The elderly patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome who underwent intervention had greater incidence of death and myocardial infarction. Early intervention reduced the rate of myocardial infarction for the younger patients. There was no significant difference in primary endpoint incidence between early intervention and delayed intervention among elderly patients.

Objective To compare the perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) versus open liver resection (OLR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods A total of 89 HCC patients undergoing liver resection between January 2012 and November 2016 were enrolled.Nonparametric tests were employed to compare the clinicalpathological characters and preoperative outcomes.Results No significant difference was observed in clinicalpathological features and postoperative morbidity.LLR group had shorter hospital stay (Z =4.642,P ＜0.01),lower serum ALT level in 1st,3rd and 5 day (Z =2.157,3.089,2.384,all P ＜0.05) and AST level in 1st-and 3rd-day postoperatively (Z =2.688,2.566,all P ＜0.05).The growth rate in serum total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) postoperatively is higher for LLR group (y =2.348 4x + 51.696 vs.y =0.902 9 + 35.532),(y =1.539 9x + 29.68 vs.y =0.732 9x + 30.406).Conclusion LLR allows quicker liver function recovery and shortens patients' postoperative hospital stay.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnosis and surgical management of non-palpable breast cancer (NPBC). MethodsDiagnosis, preoperative localization and surgical management of 26 cases of NPBC were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsAll the 26 lesions were found by ultrasound or mammography.Local-extensive excision was performed under preoperative ultrasound-guided or radio-guided wire localization.Of the 26 lesions, 14 were ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), 9 were DCIS with micro-invasion and 3 were invasive ductal carcinoma.ConclusionsCombination of ultrasound and mammography improves the discovery rate of NPBC.Local-extensive excision under preoperative ultrasound-guided or radio-guided wire localization of NPBC shortens the duration of surgical procedure, avoids excessive resection of breast tissues and maintains the apperance of the breast.

Objective:To explore protective effect of atorvastatin on blood vessels in early stage of atherosclerosis (AS).Methods:A total of 120 patients without AS plaques,who had >2 cardiovascular risk factors and received control cardiovascular risk factors therapy,were randomly divided into four groups:control group (did not receive atorvastatin),atorvastatin 5mg group,10mg group and 20mg group (received corresponding dose of atorvastatin). All patients were followed up for six months,changes of thromboxane B2 (TXB2),6-Keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-Keto-PGF1α),brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV),ankle brachial index (ABI)and intima-media thickness (IMT)were observed.Results:There were no significant changes in ABI and IMT between before and after treat-ment among four groups (P >0.05 all).Compared with baseline,TXB2、baPWV levels significantly rose,6-Keto-PGF1αlevel significantly decreased after treatment in control group and 5mg group;in contrast,TXB2、baPWV lev-els significantly decreased,6-Keto-PGF1αlevel significantly rose after treatment in 10mg group and 20mg group(P <0.05~ < 0.01).After treatment six-month,compared with control group and 5mg group,the TXB2 [(148.3 ± 29.2)pg/ml,(142.3±30.6)pg/ml vs.(111.5±22.8)pg/ml,(104.9 ± 17.4)pg/ml]、baPWV[(1621.1 ± 136.1) cm/s,(1597.7±125.3)cm/s vs.(1232.9±132.3)cm/s,(1178.2±155.1)cm/s]levels significantly decreased,6-Keto-PGF1α[(104.7±66.1)pg/ml,(102.2±70.3)pg/ml vs.(132.8±48.3)pg/ml,(139.1±66.3)pg/ml]level significantly rose(P <0.05~<0.01)in 10 mg group and 20 mg group.Conclusion:Atorvastatin has protective effect on blood vessels in early stage of atherosclerosis,and 10mg atorvastatin may be the minimum effective dosage to protect blood vessels.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and summarize the experiences on the diagnosis and treatment of gastritis cystica profunda (GCP).Methods Clinical data of 15 GCP patients,who were treated in the First and Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2006 to January 2013,were retrospectively analyzed.Results GCP may present clinically as abdominal pain,bloating,emaciation,and GI bleeding.CT,electronic gastroscope,or ultrasonic endoscope shows that GCP consists of multiple cysts within a thickened submucosal layer.The submucosal pathological features can not be obtained by ordinary biopsy and snares.Of the 15 cases,proximal gastrectomy was performed in 4 cases,distal subtotal gastrectomy in 3 cases,1 case was treated with gastric wedge resection,and total gastrectomy was performed in 7 cases.Postoperative recovery was uneventful.13 cases were followed up for 2 years,and there was no evidence of recurrence.Conclusions GCP is an uncommon disease with unknown origin,and has no clinical characteristics,and has malignant potential.Postoperative prognosis is satisfactory.
