ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical application of endovascular treatment for severe Takayasu's arteritis (TA).MethodsIn this study,35 target lesions in 32 patients [28 women,mean age (30 ±8) years] with severe Takayasu's arteritis were treated with endovascular merthod.The average length of lesion was 3.1 cm( range 2.7 -5.3).The overall average degree of diameter stenosis was 90% ± 11% (range 70- 100)in which 15 lesions were completely occlusive.There were 10 patients whose ESR were higher than 20 mm/h( range 25 -37).Follow-up included physical examination and patency evaluated by color duplex souography/computed tomography angiography/angiography at 6 months and then annually.ResultsRecanalization was unsuccessful in 3 completely occlusive lesions,with a successful rate of 80%(12/15).There was one case in which embolization leading to acute thrombogenesis developed during interventional procedure and resulting in severe stroke.The technical successful rate ( residual stenosis < 50% ) was 88.6% ( 31/35 ).The transient cerebral ischemia attack ( TIA ) symptoms disappeared in 31 cases.26 cases were followed up for an average of (19 ± 10) months (range 13 -40).Occipital infarction following severe in-stent restenosis developed 13 months later in one case.Symptomatic in-stent restenosis18monthslaterwasfoundin2cases. Patencyratewas88.5%( 23/26 ).ConclusionsEndovascular treatment is safe and effective for severe TA.Strict indication and accurate targeting the lesions help ensure the success of management.

Objective To discuss the technical points and clinical effectiveness of the guidewire looping technique for re-canalizing chronic and total long-segment occlusions of femoropopliteal arteries.Methods The guidewire tip was formed into a U-shaped loop and then the guidewire loop was advanced to the occluded artery and was manipulated to re-open the occluded vessel. The catheter followed the guidewire gradually until the tip of the guidewire came into the true lumen of the outflow tract. Results The chronic long-segment occlusions of femoropopliteal arteries were successfully re-canalized in all 48 patients with a technical successful rate of 92.31% (48/51). The re-canalization procedure was failed in three cases.Conclusion Guidewire looping technique is an effective, safe and simple practical skill for re-canalizing chronic long-segment occlusions of femoropopliteal arteries.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of TiRobot navigation combined with ankle arthroscopy in the reduction and internal fixation of Hawkins type Ⅱ talus neck fracture.Methods:From January 2019 to September 2020, a total of 13 patients with Hawkins type Ⅱ talus neck fracture were admitted to Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Xuzhou Renci Hospital. They were 8 males and 5 females, with a mean age of 35.8 years (from 22 to 61 years). All fractures were reduced and fixated using TiRobot navigation combined with ankle arthroscopy. Time for fracture reduction assisted by intraoperative arthroscopy, time for internal fixation assisted by TiRobotic navigation, fracture union time and complications were recorded. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score was used at the last follow-up to evaluate the functional outcomes.Results:All the operations were finished within 2 hour. The primary screw placement succeeded in all. The time for fracture reduction assisted by intraoperative arthroscopy averaged 52.8 min (from 43 to 66 min) and the time for internal fixation assisted by TiRobotic navigation 43.6 min (from 33 to 55 min). All the patients were followed up for an average 13.3 months(from 12 to 15 monhs). They obtained bony union within 3 months. One patient developed traumatic subtalar arthritis with mild pain and was treated conservatively. None of the patients had complications like incision infection or talus necrosis. The average AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was 91.0 points (from 83 to 94 points) at the last follow-up.Conclusion:In the reduction and internal fixation of Hawkins type Ⅱ talus neck fracture, TiRobot navigation combined with ankle arthroscopy shows advantages of minimal invasion, accurate reduction and screw placement, and limited complications, leading to fine short-term functional outcomes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the bactericidal effect of loaded multifunctional povidoneiodine-nanometer selenium (PVP-I@Se) disinfectant on Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and to provide an experimental basis for the reduction of surgical site infection (SSI). MethodsThe control group was the povidone iodine (PVP-I) group with different concentrations of iodine (50, 75, 100, 200 and 400 μg/mL). The PVP-I@Se group (experimental group) was the PVP-I group further supplemented with 2 μg/mL Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs). Then we compared the bactericidal effect of the two groups of disinfectant solutions on SA and MRSA by examining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), the shortest sterilization time at a concentration of 50 μg/mL iodine and the inhibition zone diameters at concentrations of 200 μg/mL and 400 μg/mL iodine. ResultsMIC values of PVP-I against SA and MRSA were both 79.17 μg/mL, and those of PVP-I@Se were 54.17 and 70.83 μg/mL, respectively. MBC values of PVP-I against SA and MRSA were 129.17 and 150.00 μg/mL, respectively, and those of PVP-I@Se were 70.83 and 87.50 μg/mL, respectively. At a concentration of 50 μg/mL iodine, the shortest sterilization time of PVP-I for SA and MRSA was 130 s and 140 s, respectively, and that of PVP-I@Se was 65 s and 75 s, respectively. At a concentration of 200 μg/ml iodine, the inhibition zone diameters of PVP-I for SA and MRSA were 7.67 mm and 8.33 mm, and those of PVP-I@Se were both 9.50 mm. At a concentration of 400 μg/mL iodine, the inhibition zone diameters of PVP-I for SA and MRSA were 9.00 mm and 9.33 mm, and those of PVP-I@Se were 11.67 mm and 12.00 mm, respectively. ConclusionsPVP-I with different concentrations of 50, 75, 100, 200 and 400 μg/mL iodine supplemented with 2 μg/mL SeNPs have better and faster bactericidal effect on SA and MRSA. When combined with SeNPs, PVP-I can enhance the bactericidal activity against SA and MRSA, but with better sensitizing effect on SA than MRSA and higher demand of iodine concentration (400 μg/mL) for sensitizing effect on MRSA. This study provides a theoretical basis for selecting optimal concentration and action time of the disinfectant, thus reducing SSI.
