Objective To discuss the value of double-row allograft bone suture anchor in repair of rotator cuff injury. Methods Under assistance of arthroseope, 16 cases of rotator cuff lesions were repaired by using double-row allograft bone suture anchors. There were 10 males and 6 females at average age of 44 years (32-58 years). According to Bigliani classification, there were 6 cases of small ruptures, 8 medial ruptures and 2 large ruptures. After rotator cuff was trimmed and acromial bone was re-shaped under arthroscopy, 2 bone anchors attached to suture lines were implanted in the attachment point of rotate cuff of humerus greater tuberosity side by side. Then, the 4 ends of the 2 suture lines were vertically sutured through tendon of supraspinatus mnscle and tied separately, crossing the 4 ends of 2 knots and penetrated each 2 ends into one bone anchor. Finally, these 2 bone anchors were embedded into 2 predrilled bone holes which were parallel to the former 2 anchors and lower in humerus greater tuberosity. Thus, a web was formed and overlapped on the ruptured rotator cuff. The number of bone anchors was according to the size of rupture. Results All cases were followed up for average 14 months (6-23 months). The mean UCLA score was (21.30±5.6) points preoperatively and (32.4±5.8) points postoperatively. The function of shoulders recovered well, with no pain, recurrence or pulling out of bone anchor. Function was excellent in 10 cases, good in 5 and fair in 1. Conclusions As for repair of rotator cuff injury, double-row bone-anchors under arthroscope can provide a tendon-bone interface better suited for biologic healing of rotator cuff. Bone suture anchor can not leave any foreign object residual and costs less.

Objective To evaluate 99mTc-ciprofloxacin (Infecton) scintigraphy as a method for detecting secondary infections associated with ANP in swine,in comparison with CT.MethodsTwenty-eight healthy swine were randomly assigned to control group (n =6),non-infected ANP (n =6) and infected ANP group( n =16).ANP model was induced by retrograde injection of sodium taurocholate and pancreatic protease mixture into the biliary and pancreatic duct.Two days after ANP induction,swine in infected ANP group were injected with 3 x 108 E.coli into pancreatic tissue,while swine in non-infected ANP group were injected with inactivated E.coli.At 7 d after inoculation,at 0.5,1,2,3,4,and 6 h after intravenous administration of 370 MBq of Infecton,SPECT scan was performed.Then 64-slice spiral CT scan was performed.Then swine were sacrificed,and histopathology examination and bacterial culture of pancreatic tissue were performed.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the two methods to detect secondary infections were determined.ResultsThere were no abnormality in the normal pancreas and the bacterial culture was negative.There were pancreatic necrosis in the non-infected ANP group,but the bacterial culture was negative.There were pancreatic necrosis and infection in the infected ANP group and the bacterial culture was positive.The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the Infecton method were 93.8％ ( 15/16 ),91.7％ ( 11/12 ),92.9％ ( 26/28 ),93.8 ％(15/16) and 91.7％ ( 11/12),whereas these values for CT were 12.5％ (2/16),100.0％ ( 12/12),50.0％(14/28),100.0％ (2/2) and 46.2％ (12/26),respectively.The sensitivity,accuracy,and negative predictive value of the Infecton method were significantly higher than those in CT group (P ＜0.01 ).ConclusionsInfecton scintigraphy may be a better procedure for detecting ANP secondary infections than CT.

Objective:To explore the changes in cardiac rehabilitation information needs of patients undergoing cryobaiioon ablation (CBA) for atrial fibrillation, analyze the influencing factors of different trajectory categories, so as to provide reference for rehabilitation guidance.Methods:From January 2022 to April 2023, convenience sampling was used to select patients who were planning to undergo CBA in the Cardiovascular Department at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University as participants. Patients were surveyed using the Information Needs in Cardiac Rehabilitation Scale at one day before surgery (T0), one month after surgery (T1), three months after surgery (T2), and six months after surgery (T3) .Results:A total of 257 questionnaires were distributed, and 218 valid questionnaires were collected. The total scores of the Information Needs in Cardiac Rehabilitation Scale for 218 patients at T0, T1, T2, and T3 were (187.86±35.28), (183.27±34.98), (174.03±34.01), and (167.35±33.96), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the total scores of the Information Needs in Cardiac Rehabilitation Scale among 218 patients at different time points ( F=18.237, P<0.01). Four potential trajectory categories were fitted, namely the sustained medium high need group (40.83%, 89/218), the medium high need-decline group (36.70%, 80/218), the medium low need-improvement group (7.34%, 16/218), and the medium low need-decline group (15.14%, 33/218). Age, whether to merge underlying chronic diseases, place of residence, social support, and postoperative complications were potential trajectory factors affecting the cardiac rehabilitation information needs of atrial fibrillation patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Medical and nursing staff should assess the development trajectory of patients' cardiac rehabilitation information needs as early as possible, emphasize the importance of cardiac rehabilitation, establish remote and controllable cardiac rehabilitation programs, encourage rural residents to participate in local community related cardiac rehabilitation activities, mobilize patients' social support resources, and improve their needs and compliance with cardiac rehabilitation.

Objective:To optimize the preparation conditions and methods of Al 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 and evaluate the feasibility of clinical transformation. Methods:PSMA- N, N′-bis(2-hydroxy-5-(carboxyethy)benzyl)ethylenediamine- N, N′-diacetic acid (HBED-CC) dissolved in CH 3COONH 4 buffer (pH=4.8) was reacted with AlCl 3·3H 2O dissolved in pure water at a molar ratio of 1∶1 (60 ℃, 10 min), and then purified by tC18 column and freeze-dried to obtain [Al]-PSMA-11. [Al]-PSMA-11 was labeled by 18F - and the effects of reaction temperature and pH value on the labeling rate were investigated. The labeled products were purified by tC18 column and filtered through sterile filter to obtain Al 18F-PSMA-11. The comparison of biodistribution between Al 18F-PSMA-11 and 68Ga-PSMA-11 was analyzed on 5 healthy volunteers (age (56±8) years). The differences of SUV max between two groups were analyzed by independent-sample t test. Besides, the early and delayed imaging of Al 18F-PSMA-11 PET/CT were performed on a patient (70 years old) with recurrent prostate cancer for assessment of its potential for prostate cancer recurrence monitoring. Results:The labeling rate was (42.3±3.2)% reacting in aqueous phase (60 ℃, pH=4.8) for 15 min. After being purified with tC18 cartridge, the radiochemical purity of the product was still more than 95% after placement at room temperature for 3 h. Preliminary application demonstrated that there was no significant difference in the biodistribution of Al 18F-PSMA-11 and 68Ga-PSMA-11 among lacrimal gland, parotid gland, submandibular gland, liver, spleen, kidney, bladder and part of intestine and SUV max of targeted organs were also not different ( t values: 0.19-1.95, all P>0.05) between two groups. Multiple bone metastases were observed by Al 18F-PSMA-11 PET/CT delayed imaging (3 h) in a patient with recurrent prostate cancer. Conclusion:Al 18F-PSMA-11 produced with pre-conjugated [Al]-PSMA-11 meets the requirement of the PET imaging application, and it has good potential of localization and imaging for prostate cancer metastatic lesions.

Objective:To reveal the effect of β-sitosterol on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) in rats and whether its mechanism is related to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS).Methods:Fifty-three CIRI rats (CIRI models established by modified Longa method) were randomly divided into model group ( n=14), β-sitosterol low-dose group ( n=13), β-sitosterol medium-dose group ( n=13) and β-sitosterol high-dose group ( n=13); 12 rats underwent the same operation without blocking the middle cerebral artery were selected as sham-operated group. Rats in the sham-operated group and model group were given intragastric administration of 1 mL 5 g/L sodium carboxymethyl cellulose daily. Rats in the β-sitosterol low-dose group, β-sitosterol medium-dose group and β-sitosterol high-dose group were given intragastric administration of 1 mL β-sitosterol at 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg/d (dissolved in 5 g/L sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), respectively, for 14 consecutive d. Neurological function was evaluated according to Zea Longa 5 method. Rats were sacrificed and brain tissues were collected. Volume of cerebral infarction was measured by 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Brain injury and neuronal apoptosis were evaluated by HE staining, Nissl staining and TUNEL. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were detected by water-soluble tetrazolium 1 (WST-1) method, colorimetric method or thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression levels of protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme-1 (IRE-1), activated transcription factor-6 (ATF-6), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and Caspase-12 in the brain tissues were detected by qRT-PCR or Western blotting. Results:Compared with the sham-operated group, the model group had significantly increased neurological function score, cerebral infarction volume and TUNEL positive rate, decreased SOD and GSH-Px content, increased MDA content, and increased mRNA and protein expressions of PERK, IRE-1, ATF-6, GRP78, CHOP and Caspase-12 ( P<0.05).
