OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications of Triple-Endobutton plates in treating Tossy type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation.

METHODSFrom January 2011 to January 2013,45 patients with Tossy type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation were treated with Triple-Endobutton plates. There were 35 males and 10 females with an average age of 30.5 (ranged from 19 to 60) years old. At the final follow-up, VAS, DASH, Constant-Murley criterion were used to evaluate shoulder function.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 15 to 36 months. No neurovascular injury, wound infection and stress fractures were found,but 3 patients had a re-dislocation. At the final follow-up,the mean VAS score was decreased from (5.7±1.6) preoperatively to postoperative (0.2±0.1); DASH score was significantly decreased from (19.6±4.3) preoperatively to (0.3±0.1) postoperatively; Constant-Murley score was improved from (34.4±4.3) before operation to (94.8± 3.5) after operation.

CONCLUSIONClinical outcomes of treating Tossy type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation with Triple-Endobutton plates is satisfactory. However, re-dislocation is still the most common complication. Careful perioperative management is an important factor in preventing re-dislocation.

Objective To explore the risk factors of surgical treatment for children’ s tethered cord syndrome. Methods Retrospective-ly analyzed the clinical data of 43 tethered cord syndrome children who had undergone surgical treatment from January 2007 to December 2009,and to evaluate the efficacy of the surgical treatment. Meanwhile,The Cox proportional hazards regression model was adopted to evaluate the surgical efficacy. Results 28 children received effctive curative effect after the surgical treatment in 43children with tethered cord syn-drome,the total effective rate was 65. 12%. Cox medol showed that tight filum terminale(P<0. 05), operation methods (P<0. 05)and the duration of the disease(P<0. 05)were independent risk factors of surgical treatment for children’s tethered cord syndrome. Conclusion The operativeefficacy of children’ s tethered cord syndrome were influence by the tight filum terminale,operation methods and the duration of the disease.

Objective To develop a five fluorescence-labeled multiplex amplification system for 15 loci and study genetic polymorphism in Xinjiang Uygur population. Methods The STR loci were screened. The alleles were named according to the number of repeats by sequencing. The sensitivity, species specificity, identity and stability of the five fluorescence-labeled multiplex amplification system for the 15 loci were all tested. Then, the genetic polymorphism was analyzed in Xinjiang Uygur population and compared with other ethnic groups including Xizang Tibetan, Xiuyan Manchu, and Guangzhou Han pop-ulation. Results The 15 loci multiplex amplification system was established. The sensitivity was 0.3 ng with good species specificity, identity and stability. The distributions of genotype for 13 STR loci in Uygur population were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with no genetic linkage between these loci. Most loci showed statistically significant among different populations. Conclusion The estab-lished system has application value in forensic evidence. The 13 STR loci in Uygur population have high polymorphisms to be the supplements to the existing loci.

Objective:To study the combined use of endoscopic balloon dilation with endoscopic biliary brushings in diagnosis of bile duct strictures.Methods:A prospective single center study was conducted at the Central Hospital of Wuhan, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. All patients with suspected malignant bile duct strictures shown on CT or MRI imaging from January 2018 to January 2020 were reviewed. All patients gave informed consent to the endascopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedures. Their clinical and follow-up data were analyzed. All patients underwent endoscopic balloon dilation of bile duct strictures. Before and after balloon dilation, biliary brush cytology was performed, and the results were used to classify the patients into the control group and the experimental group. Pathological examination of the brush cytology samples was carried out by a single chief pathologist. Presence of cancer cells or significant heterogeneous cells indicated a positive brush cytology test. Negative patients who still highly consider cholangiocarcinoma and agree to surgery and whose gross specimen is confirmed to be malignant after surgery should be considered as false negative by brush examination; it is difficult to judge that patients with cholangiocarcinoma have progress after 2 months of follow-up should be considered as false negative by brush examination. Any progression of disease indicated that the brush test was wrong and the test was again classified as false negative. Only when there was no progression of strictures was the possibility of a benign biliary stricture being considered. The advantage test (McNemar test) was used to analyze the difference between the two diagnostic methods.Results:Of 39 patients who were included in this study, there were 26 males and 13 females, with an age of (68.0 ± 5.2) years. Cholangiocarcinoma was diagnosed by histopathology, surgery or at 2 months follow-up in 35 patients. In the control group, 17 patients had a positive brush test (sensitivity rate was 48.6%, 17/35). In the experimental group, 26 patients had a positive brush test (sensitivity rate was 74.2%, 26/35). In addition, 2 patients in the control group had a positive brush test, while in the experimental group, a negative brush test. A total of 28 patients were positive in the two groups. The sensitivity rate of the brush test was 80.0% (28/35). There were significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Endoscopic balloon dilation combined with endoscopic biliary brushings improved the sensitivity of pathological diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma, and endoscopic biliary brushings before and after balloon dilation improved the sensitivity of diagnosis.

Objective To assess the distribution of vaginal microflora in healthy women and investigate their cognition of lower reproductive tract infection-related knowledge as well as personal hygiene habits and character of behavior in seeking medical treatment. Methods Total of 1660 healthy women who had physical check-ups at the Medical Center of Renji Hospital were selected and received gynecologic examination, as well as routine examination, pH examination and bacterial culture of the vaginal discharge. In addition, 860 of them were randomly selected for questionnaire survey, in which reproductive tract infection -related knowledge and personal hygiene habits as well as behavior in seeking medical treatment were involved. Results Among the 1660 eensused women, vaginal average pH was 4. 16±0.21. The positive rate of Candida in vaginal discharge routine examination was 3.86% (64/1660), which was lower than that in aerobes culture 7.71% (128/1660). Candida alhicans was the most populous species 78.9% (101/128) ,followed by 7.8% (10/128) and 7.0% (9/128) for the Candida glabrata and Candida krusei respectively. The most populous species of vaginal microflora were hemolytic streptococcus A (63.80%, 1059/1660), Staphylococcus epidermidis (14.28%, 237/1660), and Enterococcus faecalis (D) group ( 11.44%, 190/1660). The questionnaire survey showed that 88.4% (760/860) of 860 women took active treatment when feeling unwell, 92.1% (792/860) of them had good hygiene practices, and only 21.2% (182/860) had the habit of vaginal douching. In addition, 50.0% (430/860) of them had the desire to obtain reproductive health knowledge through out-patient consultation. Conclusions Vulvovaginal Candida disease ranks the first in all types of vaginitis, among which, Candida albicans is the most populous species followed by the Candida glabrata and Candida krusei. Hemolytic streptococcus A and Staphylococcus epidermidis are the most common species of vaginal mieroflora in healthy women. The censused women have high awareness of reproductive health care and pay mueh attention to common gynecologic diseases such as lower reproductive tract infection. Nevertheless, we should strengthen the public education of reproductive health-related knowledge.

Objective To investigate the left ventricular (LV) torsion parameters of type B WolffParkinson-White syndrome (B-WPW) and to explore alternation of the left ventricular motion pattern in patients with B-WPW.Methods Thirty-eight patients with B-WPW were studied.And 40 volunteers were selected as control.Two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) was used to acquire left ventricular torsion parameters,including peak value and time to peak value of LV twist,LV apex rotation,and LV base rotation.Apical-basal rotation delay (RDA-B) was calculated.Biplane Simpson method was used to measure LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV),end-systolic volume (LVESV) and ejection fraction (LVEF).All above parameters were measured in patients with B-WPW before (B-WPW-B group) and after (B-WPW-A group) radiofrequency catheter ablation and in control group.The QRS width of lead Ⅱ was recorded,and the relationships between all above parameters with the RDA-B or QRS width were analyzed.Results Compared with the contrd group,in patients with B-WPW,the peak value of LV apex rotation (RotA),LV base rotation (RotB) and LV twist (TwistLV) were lower(LV base was more obvious than LV apex)(P ＜0.05),the time to RotB (TTPB) was shorter (P =0.004),RDAB was longer(P =0.002),the left ventricular enlarged and the QRS prolonged (P =0.000).After radiofrequency catheter ablation,the left ventricular torsion parameters in patients with B-WPW recovered significantly(P ＜0.05),but still lower than those in the control group(P ＜0.05).Conclusions The left ventricular motion pattern of patients with B-WPW alters,including the changes of peak value and time to peak value in LV apex rotation,LV base rotation and LV twist,as well as LV myocardium dyssynchrony.The motion pattern of LV in patients with B-WPW is improved in acute stage after radiofrequency catheter ablation but not yet recover totally.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)is an autoimmune disease,involving multiple organs and systems,and it is defined as neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) when neuropsychiatric symptoms appear.The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is a kind of membrane-spanning ion channels' glutamate receptors,which mainly contains NR1 subunit and NR2 subunit.In recent years,the role of anti-NMDA-receptor antibodies in the pathogenesis of NPSLE has become a research hotspot,especially for anti-NR2 antibody.Therefore we review the research progress of the mechanism of the anti-NMDA-receptor antibodies in NPSLE in this paper.

Objective To retrospectively study pathological characteristics of 1561 patients with colorectal cancer in Nanchang area.Methods Analysis was made regarding the results of colonoscopy and pathological examination in patients from 1990 to 2004.Results Totally 21 853 patients received colonoscopy during the period,and 1561 patients were diagnosed as colorectal cancer.The overall diag- nostic yield was 7.1%.The average age diagnosed was 52 years old.Ratio of male to female was 1.4: 1.The lesion located in rectum accounted for 43.4%.The percentage of cancer in left colon was higher than that in right side (30.5% vs 26.1%,P＜0.05).The proportion (57.5%) of patients with rectal can-cer under 30 years old was the highest in all patients with rectal cancer.Cancer located in sigmoid colon and left side of the colon increased with age.Well and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma was observed in 83.6% of the patients.Comparing the clinical characteristics of every five years,increasing diagnostic yield was noted from 1990 to 1999,hut the decreased trend was found in last five years.The propor- tions of rectal cancer was also increased in the last fifteen years,and overall proportions of cancer located in left side of colon was decreased.Conclusions The overall diagnostic yield of colorectal cancer in Nanchang area was lower than other province,especially rectal cancer.The proportion of cancer of left side of colon was increased with age.The well and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma was found increasing in the last fifteen years, while the poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma was decreased.
