1.Modified coaxial portals for posterior ankle arthroscopy: an anatomic study
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2000;0(02):-
Objective The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and operation of a modified coaxial portals for posterior ankle arthroscopy. Methods 20 anticeptic-frozen ankle specimens were divided into 2 teams at random equally. In the first team, the original coaxial portals designed by Acevedo were established with K-wires first, then followed by modified coaxial portals. In the second team, modified coaxial portals were created at two levels, one at 1.5 cm proximal to the tip of lateral malleolus and the other at 2.5 cm to the tip. K-wires were left in place for distance measurement between them and the posterior important anatomic structures. Mimic ankle arthroscopy operation was performed on 5 fresh ankle amputations, using 2.7 mm, 30? arthroscopy with the modified coaxial portals technique. Results Results of the anatomic study show that the average distince was (22.07+2.82) mm to the small saphenous vein, (5.39+1.47) mm to flexor hallucis longus tendon, (6.27+1.84) mm to the tibial nerve in modified coaxial portals and (8.54+2.76) mm to the small saphenous, (3.62+1.37) mm to flexor hallucis longus, (4.40+1.40) mm to the tibial nerve in the original one. Only the difference of the average distance to the tibial nerve in the No.2 team has statistic significance. Flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum tendon were identified as the inner-safety landmarks. Neither penetration nor contact of nerve or vessel was observed. Conclusion Compared with original ankle posterior coaxial portals, the modified coaxial portals may be superior safety, easier-operated and reproducible.

Objective To analyze the CT findings of lung cystic echinococcosis with infections, and to assess the value of CT examination. Methods The CT characters of 23 cases of pathologically proved lung cystic echinococcosis were analyzed and CT findings were compared with pathology. Results All 23 cases of lung cystic echinococcosis appeared as single cystic lesions. Fifteen cases appeared in the right lung, and the other 8 in the left. The lesions located in lower lobe were more than those in the upper lobe. According to the CT examination, it could be divided into two types: (1) simple lesion (7 cases) appeared as irregular solid mass with different size, crude edge, and lobulation, and with fiber shadows in the lung field around the lesions. In 6 cases, curvilinear or spotty calcification occurred in the lesions. (2) echinococcosis as a bag (16 cases) appeared as a mass with cystic changes in lung tissue with different size and off-center cystic cavity. The lesions took the form of ball or irregular shape. The edge was crude. Around the focus, prickle-like or patchy changes were detected. Ruptured lesions showed “water snake” or “flow ribbon” signs in 4 cases. In 7 cases, calcification occurred on the cystic wall or extended into the inside contents. Conclusion CT could accurately demonstrate the location, appearance, internal structure, and adjacent situation of the cystic echinococcosis, providing valuable information for correct diagnosis and treatment.

Under the socialist market-oriented economic system, state-owned hospitals need to overcome many problems in their traditional management system. The authors discuss a series of issues, including the property right involved in the reform of the management system of state-owned hospitals; the relationships between nonprofit hospitals run by the government and ways of handling them; the conditions of using the corporation management structure in hospitals; the responsibilities of the government in the framework of medical services and the form in which the government supervises state-owned hospitals. Lastly, the authors put forward suggestions from the perspective of policy-making on the reform of the management system of state-owned hospitals.

6.The enlightenment of Fu's subcutaneous needling on pain medicine.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2014;34(6):591-593
Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) is a modern approach developed from traditional Chinese acupuncture. It could give some stimulation in the subcutaneous region that has a quick and long-lasting effect on soft tissue injuries and some of the internal medicine diseases. It is a safe approach without adverse reaction. Through analysis of the features and possible mechanism of FSN, it is believed that research on mechanism of FSN is beneficial to the development of modern medicine, especially to pain management.

Objective To evaluate the performance of DNA microarray for rapid detection resistance to rifampin and isoniazid in Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates and identify suitable target sites for molecular genetic test.Methods Twenty-four clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates were collected retrospectively from Shenzhen Center for Chronic Disease Control in 2009 and 127 isolates from project on anti-tuberculosis drug resistance surveillance in Shenzhen during 2007 to 2009.Drug susceptibility to rifampin and isoniazid of the stains were determined by DNA microarray,and results were compared to that obtained with reference proportion method drug susceptibility testing for sensitivity,specificity and accuracy.The consistency of microarray and phenotypic susceptibility testing was evaluated by Kappa test.Genetic mutations in rpoB,katG,inhA,regulatory region of inhA,and regulatory region of ahpC were investigated by DNA sequencing to assess proper loci for rapid molecular diagnosis.Results Compared against results of proportion method,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the DNA microarray assay for rifampin resistance were 94.4%,97.5% and 96.0% respectively,and for isoniazid resistance were 79.1%,100% and 86.8% respectively.Mutations in resistance-determining region of rpoB were observed in 97.2% (70/72) of the isolates resistant to rifampin,which contributed in the 531,526,516,511 and 533codon region.Mutations in katG315 codon,inhA-15,and ahpC regulatory region were found in 70.3% (64/91),11.0% (10/91) and 9.9% (9/90) of the isolates resistant to isoniazid,respectively.Mutations of ahpC promoter region consists of ahpC-9 (4 strains),ahpC-10 (2 strains),ahpC-6 (2 strains),ahpC-12 (1 strain),and ahpC-32 (1 strain).Conclusions DNA microarray provided a rapid method for the detection of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates,and demonstrated good performance except less sensitive for isoniazid resistance.The mutations in ahpC regulatory region might be good target loci for detection of isoniazid-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis,so screening the region may significantly improve the sensitivity for molecular genetic tests.
