BACKGROUND:Surgical treatment for pigmented vil onodular synovitis can maximize the excision of synovial lesions and recovery of joint function.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the knee joint function and relapse rate fol owing treatment of pigmented vil onodular synovitis with total knee replacement and arthroscopic synovectomy.
METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed 34 cases of knee pigmented vil onodular synovitis admitted for surgical treatment in the Department of Orthopedics, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, China from December 2006 to December 2011. In these cases, 24 patients received arthroscopic synovectomy and 10 patients were subjected to total knee replacement. Adjuvant radiotherapy was conducted according to postoperative patient’s conditions. Lysholm scoring was employed in the arthroscopic synovectomy group, and American Knee Society scoring was used in the total knee replacement group. Knee function in two groups was compared before and after treatment. Fol ow-up observation was performed to compare knee function recovery and relapse rate between two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Thirty-four patients were effectively fol owed up for 12-66 months, mean 41.3 months. Statistical analysis showed that in the arthroscopic synovectomy group, the postoperative Lysholm score was (86.3± 10.3) points, significantly higher than the preoperative score which was (55.5±13.2) points (t=3.81, P=0.016, P<0.05). In the total knee arthroplasty group, the American Knee Society score was increased from (40.7±2.2) points preoperatively to (90.2±1.1) points postoperatively (t=6.27, P<0.01). In the arthroscopic synovectomy group, the American Knee Society score was increased from (34.2±3.9) points preoperatively to (80.8±1.9) points postoperatively (t=16.58, P<0.01). Arthroscopic synovectomy combined with adjuvant radiotherapy can achieve better outcomes in pigmented vil onodular synovitis patients, while the total knee replacement for advanced with advanced knee diffuse pigmented vil onodular synovitis is better to restore knee function and the recurrence rate is low.

Objective:
To study common problems in BRAF gene mutation detection, and conditions for repetition testing using thyroid fine needle aspiration specimens.
Methods:
A total of 8 644 cases of thyroid fine-needle aspiration specimens at China-Japan Friendship Hospital were collected between February, 2012 and July, 2018. BRAF gene mutation was detected by real-time PCR. Repeat testing was performed in 237 cases when the results were inconsistent with clinical or cytological diagnosis or when uncertain results were obtained.
Results:
The final positive rates of BRAF mutation was 22.0% (1 897/8 625). Nineteen cases were excluded due to inadequate DNA samples. The average Ct value of internal quality control was 16.061, and the average Ct value of the positive samples was 19.147. Among 237 repeat tests, 51.4% (19/37) continued to have poor DNA quality and 48.6% (18/37) had adequate DNA resulting in 1 positive case and 17 negative cases. In 40 repetition of initial negative cases, results were unchanged. In initial positive cases, 40.4% (40/99) with a difference of Ct value (between BRAF gene and internal quality control) between 8 to 12 turned negative after repetition, 69.8% (37/53) of these cases with a difference of more than 12 turned negative after repetition. The sensitivity and specificity of BRAF mutation were 83.97% and 96.94%, respectively.
Conclusions
Difference between BRAF gene Ct value and internal quality control Ct value is recommended as a reliability index for the test result. Cases with a difference greater than 8 should be subjected to repeat testing.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association between hyperglycemia and outcome in elderly patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
METHODSThis retrospective analysis was performed on 284 elderly patients (age > or = 60 years) with acute STEMI underwent primary PCI between January 2000 to April 2004 in our department. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to the level of blood glucose on admission: group A, < 7.8 mmol/L; group B, 7.8 - 10.9 mmol/L; group C, > or = 11.0 mmol/L.
RESULTS(1) The proportion of female in group B and group C was greater than that of group A (33.3% vs. 26.5%, P < 0.01; 40.2% vs. 26.5%, P < 0.01). The hospital stay time of group B and group C was significantly longer than that of group A (16.0 days vs. 13.9 days, P < 0.05; 16.6 days vs. 13.9 days, P < 0.05). There were more patients with history of hypertension in group C than that in group A (72.1% vs. 54.9%, P < 0.01). (2) After PCI, the proportion of patients with TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG) 0-1 in group B and C was greater than that of group A (22.6% vs. 13.3%, P < 0.05; 34.1% vs. 13.3%, P < 0.05). The proportion of patients with TMPG 3 in group B and C was less than that in group A (74.3% vs. 84.4%, P < 0.05; 57.6% vs. 84.4%, P < 0.05). The complication rate of PCI was significantly higher in group C than in group A (42.5% vs. 20.6%, P < 0.01) and group B (42.5% vs. 26.6%, P < 0.01). IABP use was significantly more in group C than that in group A (19.5% vs. 4.9%, P < 0.01) and group B (19.5% vs. 6.4%, P < 0.01). (3) There were more patients with grade of Killip class > or = 2 in group C than that in group A (44.8% vs. 23.5%, P < 0.01) and group B (44.8% vs. 27.7%, P < 0.01). The in-hospital mortality rate (8.0% vs. 1.1%, P < 0.05) and one-year mortality rate (18.7% vs. 3.4%, P < 0.05) of group C were significantly higher than those in group A.
CONCLUSIONHyperglycemia at admission was associated with poor tissue perfusion, cardiac function and prognosis in elderly patients with acute STEMI underwent primary PCI.
