Objective To compare the clinical application of three-dimensional (3D) and two-di-mensional (2D) imaging systems in thoracoscopic lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC). Methods In 2014 and 2016, the patients with NSCLC undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy with 2D or 3D imaging systems were performed by a single experienced surgeon. The baseline characteristics and perioper-ative data of the patients were collected and analyzed. Results In 2014, 19 patients underwent 3D thora-coscopic lobectomy and the other 23 patients underwent 2D thoracoscopic lobectomy. Compared to 2D thora-coscopic lobectomy group, 3D thoracoscopic lobectomy group had a significantly shorter operative time [(147.0 ±23.9)min vs (179.1 ±54.4)min,P=0.016], a smaller volume of intraoperative blood loss [(142. 1 ± 69. 3)ml vs (203. 0 ± 90. 4)ml,P=0. 018]. In 2016, 36 patients underwent 3D thoracoscopic lobectomy and the other 32 patients underwent 2D thoracoscopic lobectomy. No significant differences were found between two groups in terms of preoperative indicators. Conclusions To some extent, 3D thoracos-copy reduces the operation difficulty, shortens the operative time and reduces intraoperative blood loss. However, with the accumulation of surgical experience, 2D can effectively compensate for the disadvantages of thoracoscope.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of dilator-kyphoplasty (DKP) and balloonkyphoplasty (BKP) in treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Methods From May 2007 to March 2009, 23 cases with 26 vertebrae were treated with DKP, while 29 cases with 29 vertebrae were treated with BKP procedures. The operating time, bleeding volume and injecting volume of cement were recorded during operation. The distribution of cement, the restoration of vertebral height and Cobb angle were observed. The patients' visual analogue scales (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) score were evaluated after operation. Results There were no differences in operative time, bleeding volume of every vertebrae and cement injected volume between these two groups (P>0.05). The vertebral height, Cobb angle, VAS and ODI scores were significantly improved than those of pre-operation in these two groups (P<0.05). The height of the anterior vertebrae and Cobb angle in DKP groups were restored significantly than those in BKP groups (P< 0.05). There were 1 case (1 vertebra, 3.8%) underwent cement leakage in DKP groups and 5 cases (5 vertebrae, 17.2%) in BKP groups. Conclusion DKP and BKP were effective in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. The height of the anterior vertebrae and Cobb angle in DKP groups were restored significantly than those in BKP groups.

Objective:To compare Jack dilator-kyphoplasty (DKP) and balloon-kyphoplasty (BKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in postoperative vertebral height loss and adjacent intervertebral disc degeneration.Methods:A total of 94 OVCF patients were treated and fully followed up at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The First Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from May 2007 to October 2016. Of them, 30 were subjected to DKP and 64 to BKP. In DKP group, there were 18 males and 12 females, with an age of (72.4±9.2) years, a bone density of (-3.99±0.88) SD and a disease course of (0.7±0.4) months; in BKP group, there were 28 males and 36 females, with an age of (71.6±14.3) years, a bone density of (-4.08±0.63) SD and a disease course of (0.6±0.3) months. The 2 groups were compared in terms of change in the height of injured vertebrae, disc height index percentage (DHIP) and Pfirrmann grading of adjacent disc degeneration at preoperation, 2 days and 36 months after operation.Results:The 2 groups were comparable due to insignificant differences in their preoperative general data ( P>0.05). The anterior and middle heights of injured vertebrae and DHIP at postoperative 36 months were significantly lower than those at postoperative 2 days in both groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in DHIP at 36 months after operation (79.86%±4.48% versus 80.24%±6.85%) ( t=0.277, P=0.782). By the Pfirrmann grading, 36 and 84 patients had intervertebral disc degeneration in DKP and BKP groups respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of intervertebral disc degeneration between the 2 groups (60.0% versus 65.6%) (χ 2=0.560, P=0.454). Conclusions:In the OVCF treatment, DKP and BKP may potentially cause height loss of the injured vertebrae and degeneration of adjacent intervertebral disc, but no difference was found in disc degeneration between the 2 modes.

Dyskinesia is one kind of motor complications caused by prolonged administration of levodopa to patients affected by Parkinson's disease. The mechanisms of dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease are still unknown. Recent research suggests the prevalence of dyskinesia mainly depends on genetic factors, levodopa therapy,clinical subtype, body weight and gender. Accumulating evidence indicates that assessment scales, functional magnetic resonance imaging and biomarkers could improve the clinical diagnosis and assessment of dyskinesia. In addition, a number of clinical trials of dyskinesia have indicated that new drugs such as an extended-release formulation of adamantine, and physical therapy such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation are beneficial to the treatment of dyskinesia.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(10):1568-1570
Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of HIV/AIDS infected students in Shandong Province, to provide a basis for the prevention and control of AIDS transmission in the student population.
Methods:
All 863 HIV/AIDS students cases during 2010-2019 were collected in Shandong Province. Epidemiological characteristics was described and the trends in the 10 years since 2010 was analyzed.
Results:
These 863 HIV/AIDS students were mainly transmitted through homosexual sex (763 cases, 88.41%), and the samples were mainly from voluntary consultation testing (433 cases, 50.17%). From 2010 to 2019, the proportion of student cases in the total number of cases showed an increasing trend ( χ 2 trend =30.21, P <0.01). Among them, the proportion of homosexual transmission cases increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =6.35, P =0.01), the proportion of cases aged 18-22 years increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =6.10, P =0.01), the proportion of cases with college degree or above increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =4.26, P =0.04). At present, voluntary consultation testing were the main source.There was no significant difference between the years of sample sources ( χ 2 trend =2.97, P =0.09).
Conclusion
The report number of students in Shandong Province are on the rise in recent years, especially those infected by same sex transmission, mainly with high education background, which calls for targeted strategies and intervention measures.

BACKGROUND:
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is still a refractory disease in children’s orthopedics. With the introduction of the concept of ‘‘osteoimmunology’’, the immune-inflammatory mechanisms between bone and immune system have become a research focus of LCPD. However, few studies have reported on the pathological role of inflammation-related receptors such as toll-like receptors (TLRs) as well as immune cells such as macrophages in LCPD. This study was for investigating the mechanism of TLR4 signaling pathway on the direction of macrophage polarization and the repair of avascular necrosis of femoral epiphysis in LCPD.
METHODS:
With GSE57614 and GSE74089, differentially expressed genes were screened. Through enrichment analysis and protein–protein interaction network, the functions of TLR4 were explored. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining, micro-CT, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) dyeing and western blotting were performed for determining the influences of TAK-242 (a TLR4 inhibitor) on the repair of avascular necrosis of femoral epiphysis in rat models.
RESULTS:
Totally 40 co-expression genes were screened as well as enriched in TLR4 signaling pathway. Immunohistochemistry and ELISA analyses certified that TLR4 facilitated macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype and prevented macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype. Besides, the results of H&E and TRAP staining, micro-CT, and western blotting showed that TAK-242 can inhibit osteoclastogenesis and promote osteogenesis.
CONCLUSION
Inhibition of TLR4 signaling pathway accelerated the repair of avascular necrosis of femoral epiphysis by regulating macrophage polarization in LCPD.
