Objective:To have an experimental investigation on teaching reform of Orthopedics of TCM based on network resources.Method:Two comparison groups were set and observed when we were teaching the orthopedics students of 2003 grade.One was taught by traditional problem-based learning(PBL) method,the other was taught by PBL method based on network resources.Results:The creative thought and research ability of the students who had been taught by PBL method based on network resources were greatly improved.Conclusion:The teaching method based on network resources has so many advantages such as students being able to self-learn and research without time and space limit that it can be used more in medical students teaching.

BACKGROUND:Displacement of the distal fracture fragment is one of the most important facts that lead to cubitus varus fol owing pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture. Mainstream technique emphasized the restoration of posterior-ulnar deviation of the distal fragment. However, there is an absence of supportive evidences from biomechanical studies. OBJECTIVE:To establish models of extension-ulnar type of supracondylar humeral fracture and investigate the mechanical stability of reduced fracture with residual displacements within functional restoration standard, so as to provide mechanic evidences supporting the empirical rule of manipulative reduction-“better anterior than posterior, better radial than ulnar”. METHODS:The fresh cadaveric bone of right upper extremity from a 7-year-old child was scanned using CT. Models of supracondylar humeral fracture differing in contact area of the fracture site and displacement direction of the distal fragment were established and underwent loading tests. Stress in both anterior and posterior margin of the fracture site and Baumann angle were recorded, and data were analyzed and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In comparison of stress in the posterior margin, the value was significantly greater in the posteromedial-displacement group than the others. Stress value in fracture with 75%contact area was significantly greater than the other three groups. In comparison of stress in the anterior margin, a significantly greater value was obtained in the posteromedial-displaced group. Stress value in fracture with 85%contact area was significantly greater. When comparing stress in posterior margin and anterior margin, the absolute increment of stress value was greater in posterior displacement group than in anterior displacement group. Baumann angle increased significantly when fragment displaced medial y. Above findings indicated that displacement direction altered the location of stress concentration. Stress augmentation was greater in posterior displacement group. Stress in related area significantly increased constantly when contact area of the fracture site reduced. Baumann changed obviously when fragment displaced medial y. The results preliminarily verify the hypothesis that displacement of the distal fragment was the main contributor to cubitus varus fol owing supracondylar humeral fracture. These findings provided certain evidences supporting the empirical rule“better anterior than posterior, better radial and ulnar”.

Objective To verify IMRT plans in point,planar and 3D dose,and to concretely analyze the dose differences of 3D anatomic structure based on Gamma passing rate.Methods Thimble ion-chamber,Matrixx and ArcCheck were separately used to measure six nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment plans and six lung cancer treatment plans.The dose measurement deviation of the center point was compared as well as the Gamma passing rate of dose verification under the criteria of both 3％/3 mm and 2％/2 mm,the group t-test and one-way ANOVA were also proceeded.3DVH system was used to analyze the dose measurement deviation of target volume (TV) and organ at risk (OAR) through DVH.Results For IMRT and VMAT treatment plans,the mean deviation of point dose was (0.59 ± 1.31) ％ and (-1.00 ± 1.03)％ respectively,and the maximum deviation was less than 3％.Under the criterion of 3％/3 mm,the Gamma passing rate measured by Matrixx,ArcCheck and 3DVH for IMRT plans was 96.28％,97.55％ and 99.02％ respectively,and for VMAT plans,the corresponding results of three different detectors were 97.24％,99.67％ and 98.48％.The results analyzed and compared by 3DVH showed that even under the condition of high Gamma pass rate (more than 95％ for a Gamma criterion of 3％/3 mm),the DVH metrics of both TV and OAR in two cases (account for 16.7％ of the total plan) were significantly different on the clinical parameters,including GTV,spinal cord and brain stem etc.Conclusions The analysis of dose difference of the measurement results based on Gamma pass rate and on anatomic structure of 3D images can more effectively evaluate the influence of dose error to the implementing of clinical plan and the impact to the clinical treatment.

Objective:To investigate the role of NIMA-related kinase-7 (NEK7) in breast cancer (BC) and its potential molecular mechanism.Methods:Quantitative real-time reverse-transcription (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of NEK7 in BC tissue and cell lines. The effect of NEK7 on BC cell proliferation was examined by CCK-8. Proteins interacted with NEK7 were screened in Biological database. The effect of overexpression of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) on BC cell proliferation was evaluated. Western blot was used to detect NLRP3 protein expression, and ELISA was employed to evaluate IL-1β and IL-18 expression level.Result:NEK7 was upregulated in BC tissues and cells, and enforced-expression of NEK7 promoted BC cell proliferation[NEK7 over-expression group: 24 h: (0.33±0.02) , 48 h: (0.59±0.02) , 72 h: (0.76±0.02) ; Blank group: 24 h: (0.30±0.02) , 48 h: (0.45±0.02) , 72 h: (0.62±0.03) ; NEK7 empty vector group: 24 h: (0.32±0.02) , 48 h: (0.46±0.02) , 72 h: (0.63±0.03) ]. There was a positive correlation between NEK7 and NLRP3 ( R=0.13) . Overexpression of NLRP3 increased the proliferation ability of BC cell[NLRP3 over-expression group: 24 h: (0.35±0.02) , 48 h: (0.65±0.02) , 72 h: (0.80±0.03) ; Blank group: 24 h: (0.33±0.02) , 48 h: (0.51±0.02) , 72 h: (0.66±0.03) ; NLRP3 empty vector group: 24 h: (0.34±0.02) , 48 h: (0.52±0.03) , 72 h: (0.66±0.03) ]. NEK7 could positively regulate NLRP3 protein and up-regulate IL-1β (NEK7 over-expression group: 129.96±7.62 pg/ml, Blank group: 19.80±2.42pg/ml, NEK7 empty vector group: 21.30±1.77 pg/ml) and IL-18 (NEK7 over-expression group: 144.08±17.20 pg/ml, Blank group: 16.84±2.34pg/ml, NEK7 empty vector group: 17.64±1.94 pg/ml) expression. Conclusion:The upregulation of NEK7 was involved in the process of BC progression by inducing NLRP3 inflammasome activation, suggesting that NEK7 might be a promising therapeutic target for BC.

Objective: To explore the application and effect of superficial temporal fascia flap combined with avulsion auricular tissue in emergency auricular restoration. Methods: From June 2015 to December 2015, 6 patients with auricular large area complete avulsion were underwent treatment in Department of Plastic Surgery of General Hospital of Shenyang Military. After thorough debridement, the auricular cartilage scaffold of the avlusion ear and skin was completely stripped. The auricular cartilage was repositioned on its anatomical site and subsequently covered by superficial temporal fascia flap. The free skin was stripped as full-thickness graft to cover the surface of reconstructed ear. Results: All 6 patients with auricle large area complete avulsion achieved immediate repair under emergency condition. The operations were successfully completed and the ears were healed primarily. The patients were followed-up for one year. Five patients with partial auricular avulsion achieved obvious reconstructed auricle profile. The color of reconstructed ear was close to the surrounding skin and the cranioauricular angle was nearly normal. Patients and their families were very satisfied. One patient of total auricular reconstruction had auricular contracture. The auricle profile was not obvious with small size, morphological changes and external auditory canal stenosis. Conclusions Avulsion auricle and temporal superficial fascia flap can be used to repair partial auricle defects as a first-stage repair with ideal results. It is the best choice for large auricle defects in emergency cases.

Objective To compare the differences in the long-term survival rate and the tumor shrinkage rate of inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) between transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with percutaneous ablation therapy and simple TACE therapy in order to provide the basis for the clinical treatment of HCC.Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCT) for comparing the difference in survival rates between TACE plus PA and simple TACE for inoperable HCC were searched from medical literature database,from which the relevant data were extracted.According to Cochrane manual standard,the quality of inclusion literature was evaluated.Results A total of 15 RCT papers were included in this study,including 859 HCC patients.The results of meta-analysis showed that all the 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates in TACE plus PA group were better than those in simple TACE group (RR=1.454,95％CI=1.333and 1.586,Z=8.56,P＜0.001;RR=1.781,95％CI=1.511 and 2.099,Z=6.88,P＜0.001;RR=2.351,95％CI=1.808 and 3.059,Z=6.37,P＜0.001,respectively).The tumor shrinkage rate in TACE plus PA group was also better than that in simple TACE group (RR=1.314,95％CI=1.190 and 1.452,Z=5.38,P＜0.001).The sensitivity analysis indicated that the results of the differences in survival rate and tumor shrinkage rate between the two groups were reliable.Conclusion The 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates as well as the tumor shrinkage rate of TACE plus PA group are higher than those of simple TACE group.

Objective:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of electrostimulation of the posterior tibial nerve and antimuscarinic drugs in the treatment of overactive bladder.Methods:The literature search was conducted using the PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, Medline, CNKI, CQVIP, Wanfang databases.The retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to February 2021. Literature was screened and evaluated independently by two investigators to compare the safety and efficacy of electrostimulation of the posterior tibial nerve and antimuscarinic drugs in the treatment of overactive bladder. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4 software.Results:A total of 11 clinical trials, including 10 randomized controlled trials and 1 cross-over study were included, involving 605 patients, including 309 in the experimental group (nerve stimulation group) and 296 in the control group(antimuscarinic drugs group). The results of meta-analysis showed as follow. For patients with non-neurogenetic overactive bladder, there was no statistically significant differences between electrostimulation of the posterior tibial nerve therapy and antimuscarinic drugs in the improvement of 24h urination frequency( MD=-0.06, 95% CI -1.67-1.54, P>0.05), 24h urge incontinence frequency( MD=0.04, 95% CI -0.46-0.54, P>0.05), symptoms scores of OAB-q questionnaire( MD=0.37, 95% CI -0.02-0.76, P>0.05)and quality of life scores( SMD=0.32, 95% CI-0.06-0.69, P>0.05). However, compared with antimuscarinic drugs, posterior tibial nerve stimulation had better efficacy satisfaction rate ( OR=1.97, 95% CI 1.16-3.36, P<0.05) and lower side effect rate ( OR=0.24, 95% CI 0.12-0.48, P<0.0001). And the results have significant statistical differences. Conclusions:Electrostimulation of the posterior tibial nerve was almost as effective as antimuscarinic drugs in improving symptoms and quality of life in patients with non-neurogenic OAB. However, compared with antimuscarinic drugs, electrostimulation of the posterior tibial nerve had a higher efficacy satisfaction rate and a lower incidence of side effects. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.

Objective:To explore the effect of free transplantation of composite tissue flap from the anterior lateral aspect of the femur in repairing head skin defects with artificial dural exposure infection.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 13 patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from April 2018 to August 2020 with craniotomy complications, including craniotomy skin and soft tissue defects combined with artificial dural exposure and infection. After preoperative anti infection treatment, the neurosurgery department participated in debridement and removed the artificial dura mater as much as possible during the operation. A composite tissue flap carrying the fascia lata was designed for the anterior lateral aspect of the thigh, and the flap artery and vein were anastomosed with the superficial temporal artery and superficial temporal vein/middle temporal vein respectively. The defect of the dura mater was repaired with the fascia lata with blood supply. The flap was used to seal the wound, and the donor site was directly sutured or transplanted with autologous medium thick skin graft. The postoperative blood supply and survival of the flap, the presence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and the healing of the donor site were observed; The observation of dural integrity and postoperative effects of skull reconstruction using cranial magnetic resonance imaging was followed up.Results:Among the 13 patients in this group, 11 patients had their artificial dura mater completely removed, while 2 patients were not completely removed due to severe adhesion. Among them, 1 patient had a residual area of 0.8 cm×1 cm, and the other had 3 residual areas, with a maximum area of 0.5 cm×0.7 cm; All transplanted skin flaps survived, with 12 cases achieving primary healing and 1 case of partial wound rupture after suture removal, which healed after conservative dressing change; All patients had no cerebrospinal fluid leakage; There was one case of partial necrosis of the graft in the donor site, which healed after supplementing the graft; Thirteen patients underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging at 3-6 months postoperatively, all of which showed intact dura mater; Among them, 8 patients have completed skull reconstruction surgery, and all of them have healed well after reconstruction, with a good appearance of the surgical area.Conclusions:For wounds with head skin defects and exposed artificial dura mater infection, free transplantation of the anterior lateral composite tissue flap carrying the fascia lata can effectively cover the wound and repair the dura mater defect, achieve good function and appearance, and create favorable conditions for later skull reconstruction.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of DCD donor-derived CRKP infection and bleeding in kidney transplantation,and to summarize the experience of diagnosis,treatment and prevention.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out from July 2016 to December 2017 in hospital,containing clinical data of 4 cases of CRKP-infected DCD donors and 7 cases of kidney transplantation recipients.Results In the CRKP culture of 4 cases of DCD donors,1 case was positive for blood culture,1 case was positive for urine culture,1 case was positive for sputum culture,and 1 case was negative for blood,urine and sputum culture.The corresponding 7 recipients were all positive for blood culture after renal transplantation,4 cases were positive for urine culture,3 cases were positive for sputum culture,and 5 cases were positive for perirenal drainage.Of the 7 patients,4 cases had renal artery hemorrhage,1 of them was died.The average bleeding time was 17.75 days after operation (14-19 days).In 7 patients with renal transplantation,CRP increasd.And in 3 cases of deaths,CRP was stably higher than normal.Meanwhile,CRP in 4 surviving patients gradually decreased to the normal range after effective anti-infection treatment.All 7 patients were treated with carbapenems;2 patients were dead without avibactam therapy;and 5 cases were treated with avibactam and carbapenems and survived,1 case died and 1 case had good renal function recovery.Conclusion Positive CRKP in blood,urine and sputum of DCD donors can lead to CRKP infection in kidney transplant recipients.Even if the body fluids of donors are all negative,the false negative results could not be excluded.Persistent or increased high-level CRP after operation is an early warning on CRKP infection.And CRP can be used as an indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of anti CRKP therapy.The combination of avibactam and carbapenem antibiotics is an effective regimen in the treatment of DCD donor-derived CRKP.
