OBJECTIVETo study the results of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for medial meniscal tear in late middle-aged adults.

METHODSFrom October 2010 to October 2012,49 patients meeting inclusion criteria were treated with arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for medial meniscal tear. There were 31 males and 18 females,with an average age of (55.3±2.8) years old. There were 22 left knees and 27 right knees. The average flexion angle was (116.01±12.03)°. The pre-operative HSS Knee Score was 48.73±8.43, and the Lysholm score was 63.95±5.45. The patients were followed up and evaluated. All the patients received a standard surgery, in which the torn tissue was removed, and the anterior part of the meniscus was left in situ.

RESULTSAll the surgeries were successful with no serious complications. All the patients were followed up,and the duration ranged from 12 to 36 months. All the patients had 5 degrees of muscle strength. The average flexion angle was (136.77±18.56)°. There was significant difference between the two angles before operation and after operation. The pre-operative HSS Knee Score was 90.17±4.10, and the Lysholm score was 87.84±5.16. Statistically, the difference between preoperative score and the postoperative score was significant.

CONCLUSIONArthroscopic partial meniscectomy is a good option for medial meniscal tear in late middle-aged adults. Operative indication is crucial and the excellent surgical technique is also critical for the good clinical outcome. All the patients could get good clinical results, although there are some patients with motion restrictions in the early stage after operation.

Objective To investigate the epidemiology of fungemia and provide evidence for clinical therapy.Methods A retrospective survey was done with the 42 cases of fungemia in our hospital.Results 42 cases of fungemia include 35 cases acute lymphoid leukemia,6 acute myloid leukemia.95.2％ of the fungemia pathogen agent was monilia.8 cases combined with bacterial septicemia,accounting for 19.0％.Drug sensitivity test showed that 2 cases were intermediary to Fluconazole,1 patient was resisdence to Amphotericin B but sensitive to Voriconazole,Itraconazole and fluorocytosine.The main risk factors of fungimia included using wide-spectrum antibiotic,neutophil less than 0.5 × 109/L,central venous indwelling catheter,age and the time of in hospital more than 15 days.Conclusion The effective measure to reduce fungemia morbitity is controlling risk factors.Timely and effectively antifungal therapy is also needed.

Objective To explore the clinical presentation,etiology of sepsis,common positions of in-fection and anti-infectious treatment of pediatric acute leukemia with septicemia resistance to carbapenem. Meth-ods A retrospective chart review of all pediatric acute leukemia with septicemia cases of Beijing Children 's Hospital from December 2011 to September 2015 were analyzed. All cases were selected based on the clinical presentation,at least one Gram-negative bacteria positive result of blood culture and were resistant to carbapen-em. The basic clinical characteristics and the results of blood culture and antimicrobial susceptibilities were ana-lyzed. Results All 45 cases with fever,among them 8 cases under went continued fever,The other 37 cases fe-ver days were ( 6. 1 ± 5. 2 ) d. Twenty-six cases had agranulocytosis. Agranulocytosis time from 2 to 79 days, mean days(15. 2 ± 16. 2)d. Significant difference of fever time between agranulocytosis team and non-agranulo-cytosis team was significant(P=0. 011). Twenty-three cases had infection positions among 45 cases. Lung,di-gestive tract,mouth and crissum were the common positions of infection. The quantum of blood culture samples were 711 parts. There were 162 parts resistant to carbapenems. The primary pathogens were pseudomonas aerugi-nosa,klebsiella pneumoniae, enterobacter cloacae and Escherichia coli. Among those 45 cases, 36 cases were cured,9 cases were ineffective treatment. Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa, klebsiella pneumoniae, enter-robacter cloacae and Escherichia coli accounted for the most of G-bacteria infections resistant to carbapenem in our center. The incidence of septicemia was related to the level of granulocyte and duration of agranulocytosis.

Objectives To evaluate the values of notched on R wave in inferior leads of electrocardiogram in infant with secundum atrial septal defect. Methods To observe and compare the prevalence of notch on R wave in inferior leads combined with incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) in 162 cases with secundum atrial septal defect (group I) and 162 cases without heart disease (group II). Results The prevalence of notch on R wave in all the three inferior leads, in at least one inferior lead with IRBBB and in all the three inferior leads with IRBBB were 27.16%, 14.20%and 10.49%respec-tively in group I, and were 3.09%, 1.85%and 0.62%in group II respectively, and the differences between two groups were statistically significant (P<0.005). The specificities of notch on R wave in diagnosis of atrial septal defect were 96.91%, 98.15% and 99.38% respectively. Conclusions Notch on R wave in inferior leads is an independent electrocardiographic sign of secundum atrial septal defect in infants, and thus can be used as a diagnostic parameter.

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of hormone receptor status detection in simultane-ous axillary metastasis for hormone receptor-negative primary breast cancer patients. Methods:Using immunohistochemical methods, hormone receptor status detection in axillary lymph node metastasis was performed among breast cancer patients with simultaneous ax-illary metastasis in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. The subjects comprised patients who visited the clin-ic for follow up or those who were hospitalized from July 2012 to January 2013. Endocrine therapy was given for patients diagnosed with positive hormone receptor in their simultaneous axillary metastasis. Results:Out of 56 patients with hormone receptor-negative primary breast cancer, 14.3%gained estrogen receptor (ER), 3.6%gained progesterone receptor (PR), and 5.4%gained ER and PR in their simultaneous axillary metastasis, and then underwent endocrine therapy. The discordance rate of hormone receptor expression be-tween primary tumor and axillary metastasis was 23.3%. Conclusion:Some discordance rates of hormone receptor status between pri-mary tumor and simultaneous axillary metastasis were observed. Through hormone receptor status detection in simultaneous axillary metastasis, we may possibly distinguish patients with negative ER and PR, among whom endocrine therapy may be active.
