Objective:To study the clinical value of artificial dermis combined with autologous thin skin graft in the repair of burn scar contracture in joints.Methods:A total of 52 patients with burn scar contractures were enrolled in the No.5 Hospital of Baoding from July 2015 to April 2018. According to different methods of repair, 26 cases were used in each group. The observation group was treated with artificial dermis combined with autologous thin skin graft. The control group was treated with medium-thickness skin grafting. The survival rate of autologous skin was compared between the two groups. The tissue of artificial dermal polyester fiber was taken and HE staining was performed to observe the pathological changes. The Vancouver skin scar assessment score (VSS), functional activity, infection rate, wound healing time, and VSS score after healing of the donor site were compared between the two groups.Results:The survival rate of autologous skin in the observation group (92.31%) was not significantly different from that in the control group (84.62%) ( P>0.05). Compared with preoperative, the VSS scores at 3, 6 months and 1 year after operation in both groups were decreased ( P<0.05). The VSS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group at 3, 6 months and 1 year ( P<0.05). The excellent rate of functional activity in the observation group (100.00%) was higher than that of the control group (76.92%) ( P<0.05); There was no significant difference in the infection rate (3.85% vs 7.69%) and healing time of skin grafting area between the two groups ( P>0.05). The healing time of donor site was shorter than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The VSS score of the donor site was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Artificial dermis combined with autologous thin skin graft can be used in patients with burn scar contracture in joints, which can improve the scarring of skin grafting area and donor site, shorten the healing time of donor site and improve the function of burn scar contracture joint.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Internet plus mode with tradition education mode on tuberculosis prevention in schools,so as to provide the reference for reducing the risk of catching tuberculosis in schools. Methods: Two junior and two senior high schools as well as two universities were selected from Baoding. The two same level schools were randomly divided into the traditional education group and the Internet plus group. All the students received 2-month TB health education intervention. Questionnaire survey was conducted before and after intervention. A total of 2 804 and 2 821 students were investigated before and after intervention respectively. Results: The awareness rate of TB prevention and treatment core knowledge among the traditional education group and the Internet plus group before intervention was 47.5% and 47.8%, respectively (χ2=0.19, P>0.05). After intervention, the percentage of students with positive attitude and behavior regarding TB was 93.0% and 85.1% in the Internet plus group and the traditional model education group, respectively, including willingness to accept TB test (88.6% vs 81.5%), active reporting to school on TB diagnosis (96.4% vs 90.5%), no spitting in public, cover up when sneeze or cough (94.3% vs 90.6%), opening windows for ventilation (98.1% vs 95.7%), and willingness to share knowledge (98.7% vs 96.4%), active prevention of TB (86.3% vs 78.2%)(P<0.05). Conclusion Internet plus mode health education intervention shows more effectiveness on tuberculosis health education, compared with traditional health education.

Objective:To investigate the factors influencing mortality within one year following hip fracture surgery in elderly patients.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 1 263 elderly patients with hip fractures who underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University between January 2014 and December 2022.Based on their survival status one-year post-surgery, the patients were categorized into two groups: the death group(212 cases)and the survival group(1 051 cases).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were employed to identify factors associated with 1-year mortality.Results:The 1-year mortality rate was found to be 16.78%.Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified several significant predictors of 1-year mortality in elderly patients with hip fractures.These predictors include gender( OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.48-0.95), age greater than 85 years( OR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.56-3.19), body mass index(BMI)less than 18.5( OR=1.74, 95% CI: 1.17-2.60), BMI between 30 and 40( OR=3.14, 95% CI: 1.20-8.21), history of stroke( OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.06-2.38), presence of anemia( OR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.07-2.86), fibrinogen(FIB)levels either below 1.8 or above 3.5( OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.12-2.37), deep vein thrombosis( OR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.13-2.18), and American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ( OR=2.37, 95% CI: 1.56-3.59). Conclusions:In elderly patients with hip fractures, age over 85 years, a BMI less than 18.5 or between 30 and 40, the presence of stroke, anemia, FIB levels below 1.8 or above 3.5, deep vein thrombosis(DVT), and ASA classifications Ⅲ or Ⅳ are identified as independent risk factors for 1-year mortality.Conversely, being female serves as a protective factor.
