Objective To assess effects and security of the insertion of sacroiliac screws by the bi-planar navigation robot system. Methods In a simulated surgical setup, 12 AO cannulated screws were placed into the S1 vertebral bodies of 4 human pelvic bone under the guidance of the bi-planar navigation robot system which was developed jointly by Beijing Aeronautics and Space University and our hospital. To compare this new technique with the conventional technique, another 12 cannulated screws were placed into 4 Synbone pelvic models under fluoroscopic control. The fluoroscopic times, the radiation exposure time and operation time between image acquisition and guide-wire insertion were recorded. Results With the guidance of the bi-planar navigation robot system, the average fluoroscopic times were 2.5, the average radiation exposure time was 1.5 seconds, and the average operation time was 253 seconds. All the screws were in the safe area. Under the fluoroscopic control, the average fluoroscopic times were 20.3, the average radiation exposure time was 13.7 seconds, and the average operation time was 246 seconds. Two screws (16.7%) were misplaced. The fluoroscopic times and the radiation exposure time were reduced significantly when the bi-planar navigation robot system was used (P0.05). Conclusions The bi-planar navigation robot system can provide precise navigation for insertion of sacroiliac screws within several minutes, and reduce the radiation exposure to the patient and the staff significantly. The results of this prospectively controlled experimental study are encouraging for further clinical trials.

[Objective]To evaluate the surgical technique and effectiveness of extra-articular arthroscopic debridement in patients with rotator cuff calcifying tendinitis unresponsive to conservative treatment.[Methods]Arthroscopic debridement was performed in 18 patients(5 males,13 females;mean age 56.4,range 34 to 78) in whom pain and functional disability persisted for more than 3 months despite conservative therapy for rotator cuff calcifying tendinitis.Arthroscopy was inserted into subacromial interspace and bursectomy was done.Calcified plaques in supraspinatus tendon were explored and eliminated outside shoulder joint under arthroscopy.VAS pain score,Constant-Murley score and plain radiograph was adopted for evaluation before and after surgery.[Results]The mean follow-up period was 9 months(6 to 15 months)[KG-58x].Pain and functional disturbance of the shoulder disappeared or obviously improved.The average VAS pain score was(7.8?0.6) preoperatively and(1.7?0.4) postoperatively.The average Constant-Murley score was(61?7)preoperatively and(91?4)at the last follow-up.Radiograph showed little residual deposits in 2 cases but without preoperative symptoms.No case need rotator cuff repair.[Conclusion]Extra-articular arthroscopic removal of calcium deposits together with bursectomy is effective and reliable in patients with chronic calcifying tendinitis unresponsive to conservative treatment.

Objective To investigate the treatment methods for primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) and analyze the prognostic factors.Methods The clinical data of 55 patients with PGL who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from July 2002 to December 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Operation,medication or operation combined with medication were applied to patients according to the pathological type,clinical staging,infection of helicobacter pylori and complications.Patients were followed up via phone call till February 2013,and the location,diameter,pathological type,clinical stage of the PGL and the treatment methods were recorded for prognostic analysis.The survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method,and the univariate analysis of survival was done by Log-rank test.Multivariate analysis was done by COX regression model.Results The PGL located at the gastric antrum in 26 cases,body of the stomach in 17 cases,fundus of the stomach in 5 cases,gastric cardia in 3 cases,body and antrum of the stomach in 4 cases.There were 46 patients with ulcerous PGL,5 with nodular PGL and 4 with diffused and infiltrated PGL.There were 53 B cell lympboma,1 T cell lymphoma and 1 undefined tumor.Of the 53 patients with B cell lymphoma,36 were with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALTL) and 17 with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).There were 23 patients in stage Ⅰ,23 in stage Ⅱ,4 in stage Ⅲ and 3 in stage Ⅳ.Of the 55 patients,23 received operation,14 received medication,17 received operation + medication,and 1 left untreated.Fifty-three patients had complete follow-up data.The median time of follow-up was 60 months (range,7-132 months).The 1-,3-,5-year cumulative survival rates were 91％,79％ and 72％.The results of univariate analysis showed that tumor diameter,pathological type and clinical staging were risk factors influencing the prognosis of PGL patients (x2 =9.34,6.59,88.01,P ＜ 0.05),while the treatment methods did not influence the prognosis of PGL patients (x2 =3.63,P ＞ 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that DLBCL,clinical stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ were independent risk factors influencing the prognosis of PGL patients (OR =5.758,2.231,95％ confidence interval:2.536-13.073,1.370-3.625,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Multi-disciplinary team treatment should be recommended for PGL patients.Pathological type (DLBCL) and clinical stages (stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ) are the independent risk factors influencing the prognosis of PGL patients.

Objective:To evaluate the influence of Tweed-Merrifield technique in correction of severe bimaxillary protrusion adult patients on the measurement of the dental and skeletal changes after orthodon-tic treatment by Johnston analysis and the regular cephalomatric analysis.Methods:Twelve adolescent patients with severe bimaxillary protrusion were included in this self-control retrospective study.Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken before and after treatments.All the radiographs were traced and analyzed by the method of Johnston analysis.Other measurements were evaluated using a series of 1 3 li-near and angular measurements including SNA,SNB,ANB,U1 -SN,U1 -NA,U1 /NA,L1 -NB, U1 /NB,L1 /MP,U1 -L1 ,(U1 +L1 )/2-AB,MP/SN and MP/FH from regular cephalomatric analysis. These measurements were also applied to compare the differences between pre-and post-treatments,which clarify the dental and skeletal changes by Johnston analysis.The effect of orthodontic correction was de-termined using the non-parameters test.Results:The maxillary moved backforward by 1 .3 mm according to the stable skull base,while the mandible moved forward by 2.1 2 mm.The relative position between the maxillary and mandible (ABCH)changed 3.42 mm.The upper and lower incisors retracted signifi-cantly.The upper and lower molars moved slightly forward and the relative positions of upper and lower molars and anterior teeth after treatment were 3.44 mm and 4.23 mm respectively.After treatment,the parameters of ANB、U1 -NA、U1 /NA、U1 -SN、L1 -NB、L1 /NB and L1 -M were reduced by -(1 .98 ± 1 .55)°(P =0.01 2),-(5.08 ±4.6)mm (P =0.002),-(1 1 .79 ±1 .21 )°(P =0.004),-(1 3.55 ±6.32)°(P =0.047), -(3.1 7 ±3.07)mm (P =0.01 0), -(6.84 ±2.55)°(P =0.038)and-(4.1 3 ±2.24)°(P =0.048)on average,whose changes had the statistically significant effects.Con-clusion:Tweed-Merrifield technique (directional force technique)can stabilize anchorage molar,retract anterior teeth and significantly improve the hard and soft tissue profile for patients with bimaxillary protru-sion,and make a good vertical control which means this technique is applicable to the patients who need strong anchorage.Even for the severe bimaxillary protrusion adult patients,the Tweed-Merrifield tech-nique can control the anchoragewell and make the profiles improved greatly.

There were no significant differences.Conclusions Using MboⅠand EarⅠcan genotype HBV PCR product easily and reliably. It is no statistical significance between HBV B or C genotype and the types of YMDD mutation.

Objective To study the clinical, radiologic and pathologic characteristics and diagnostic methods of telangiectatic osteosarcoma for further improving the diagnostic ability.Methods The data of 10 patients with histologically proved telangiectatic osteosarcomas were retrospectively reviewed, and the clinical, radiologic and pathologic characteristics were further analysed in combination with the literature.All 10 patients were examined with X-ray and MRI, and 2 patients with CT.Results Telangiectatie osteosarcomas originated from inferior femur in 5 patients, femur neck in 1 patients, superior humerus in 2 patients and superior segment of tibia in 2 patients.The lesions showed osteolytic bone destruction on X-ray films (n = 10) and CT images ( n = 2), with mild bone expansion in 4 patients.The majority of the edge of the destroyed bone areas was unclear but without sclerotic rim.There were Codman's triangle and soft tissue mass in each patient but no obvious neoplastic bone forming.On MRI, all the lesions were mostly or completely constituted by the multiple cysts with periostnal reaction, and several scatteredly smaller liquid-liquid levels were found within cystic cavity in 7 patients.In all 10 cases, there were pathologic hemocoele similar to aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC), but malignant tumor cells and some neoplastic bones were found in cystic walls or septations.Only a small number of neoplastic bone tissue were seen by microscopy in 6 patients.Conclusions The radio-pathologic characteristics of telangiectatic osteosarcoma include the similar imaging findings of ABC, the common growth patterns of malignant tumors,and the pathologic hemocoele, malignant tumor cells within cystic wails or septations.The comprehensive analysis of clinical, radiologic and pathological data may help clinicans to make a correct diagnosis for telangiectatic nsteosareoma.

Objective To examine the application effect of intelligent simulator(SimMan) in comprehensive skill training among doctors and nurses.Methods Totally 168 doctors and nurses were chosen as the training object,6 people (4 doctors and 2 nurses) formed a work team.Comprehensive training course was in accordance with 2010 American Heart Association guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care science.Real clinical situation was designed by using the third generation SimMan of Norway laerdal company.Trainees were administered two tests before and after training,in which there were two parts containing specialized operation ability and non-technical ability.Overall qualification rate,average mark and treatment time of qualified teams were compared before and after the training.SPSS 16.0 software was used to analyze the data and P ＜0.05 signifies statistically significance.Results Overall qualification rate,average mark and treatment time of qualified teams were 71.43％,(84.70 ± 3.15),and (449.25 ± 77.0) s respectively before training while 100％,(93.55 ± 3.86) and (323.71 ± 42.26) s after training.There were significant differences in results of two groups before and after training (P =0.002,0.000,0.000).Conclusions Application of the third generation intelligent simulator (SimMan) in comprehensive training will obviously improve training effectiveness and cultivate the non-technical ability.

Objective To study programmed death-1 (PD-1) and T-cell immunoglobulin mucin3 (Tim-3) co-expression on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific CD8+ T cells in patients with chronic HBV infection and its correlation with liver inflammatory activities.Methods One hundred and sixty subjects with chronic HBV infection who visited the outpatient and inpatient Department of Infectious Diseases in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yatsen University were enrolled,including 63 cases of mild or moderate CHB (MCHB),31 of severe CHB (SCHB),55 of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and 11 inactive HBsAg carriers.Twenty healthy subjects were enrolled as controls.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect HBV DNA,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure HBV serological markers,and flow cytometry to detect human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2 and determine the expression of PD-1 and Tim-3 on PBMC and HBV-specific CD8+ T cells.Cell counts of Tim-3+,PD-1+,and Tim-3+/PD1+ PBMC and HBV-specific CD8+ T cells were compared among different groups,and their correlation with commonly used inflammatory activity indicators were studied.Analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis test were used for measurement data with gaussian distribution and skewed distribution,respectively.Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the association between Tim-3/PD-1 expression and inflammatory activity indicators.Results The frequency of Tim-3+/PD-1+ PBMC was 0.25 ％ in ACLF group (P=0.0049),0.24 ％ in SCHB group (P-0.0025) and 0.13％ in MCHB group (P=0.0006),which were significantly higher than that in control group (0.03％),and the frequency of Tim-3 /PD-1-PBMC in the three groups were significantly lower than that in control group (P =0.0000),but the differences between HBsAg carriers (0.10％) and controls (0.03％) were not statistically significant (P=0.28).Among 160 subjects,78 were HLA-A2 positive.The frequency of Tim-3+/PD-1+ HBV-specific CD8+ T cells was 68.72％±17.21％ in ACLF group,and 59.66％± 19.25％ in SCHB group,which were significantly higher than that in HBsAg carrier group (33.93％ ± 10.80％,P=0.0000,P=0.0054).The frequency of Tim-3 /PD-1-HBV-specific CD8+ T cells in ACLF group was 2.80％,which was significantly lower than that in HBsAg carrier group (27.24％,P=0.0004).The frequency of Tim3+/PD-1+ HBV-specific CD8+ T cells was positively correlated with alanine aminotransferase (r=0.26,P=0.022),aspartate aminotransferase (r=0.28,P=0.012) and total bilirubin levels (r=0.36,P=0.001); and inversely correlated with albumin level (r=-0.35,P=0.002) in serum.Furthermore,it was positively correlated with international normalized ratio (INR,r=0.34,P =0.045) and model for end-stage liver disease score (r=0.43,P=0.027) in ACLF group.Conclusions Co-expressions of Tim-3 and PD-1 on PBMC and HBV-specific CD8+ T cells are significantly upregulated in patients with CHB,and correlated with liver inflammatory activities.These findings indicate that Tim-3 and PD-1 co-expression may involve in disease activity and liver failure in CHB.

Objective Evaluate the diagnostic value of PET/CT in the preoperative advanced gastric carcinoma comparing with mult;-slice spiral computed tomography. Methods Thirty-nine advanced gastric carcinoma patients taking PET/CT and abstract 40 advanced gastric carcinoma patients performing MSCT before operation,were done the TNM staging, and the Results were compared with the operation histopathology. Results For diagnosing primary lesions, regional lymph nodes, N3 lymph nodes ,PET/CT was accurate in 92.3% , 66.7% and 100.0%.Instead, MSCT was accurate in 82.0% , 50.0% and 62.5%. Conclusions (1) PET/CT and MSCT have high accuracy in diagnosing primary lesions and regional lymph nodes. But for detecting the N3 lymph nodes and distant metastasis, PET/CT has higher accuracy than MSCT. PET/CT combining abdominoscopy may decrease or avoid exploratory laparotomy.
