BACKGROUND:The ankle fusion is an important treating means of end-stage ankle joint disease. Internal fixation of implant has become the preferred way of fixation, but fixation of different implants has different effects. OBJECTIVE:To explore the value of different internal fixation methods in ankle fusion. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed in 64 cases of ankle fusion from September 2012 to March 2015. They were divided into the observation group (32 cases) and control group (32 cases) according to the way of internal fixation of implant. The observation group underwent headless compression screw fixation. The control group underwent interlocking compression plate fixation. Length of incision, operation time, postoperative drainage volume, postoperative complications, healing time of bone and functional recovery of ankle-hindfoot were observed and compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) There was no statistical significance in operation time and healing time of bone between the two groups (P>0.05). (2) Length of incision and postoperative drainage volume were significantly greater in the control group than in the observation group. The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly higher in the control group than in the observation group (P<0.05). (3) No significant differences in preoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot score were found between the two groups (P>0.05), but the score was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group in final fol ow-up (P<0.05). (4) These findings suggest that compared with the interlocking compression plate, headless compression screw treatment for ankle fusion can obtain better effect, smal trauma, less postoperative complications, fixed firmly, more in line with the physiological and biomechanical requirements.

We report a critically ill pregnant woman in the third trimester with severe pneumonia due to COVID-19 who presented to Xiaolan People's Hospital of Zhongshan in February 2020. The 32-year-old patient was admitted at 35 +2 gestational weeks with a 4-day history of a sore throat and a fever for three hours. The patient had been to Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, and the symptoms occurred during a period of self-isolation after back home. The condition of the patient deteriorated rapidly, with left-sided chest and back pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, progressing to respiratory failure and septic shock 7 hours after her admission. In view of her critical condition and a history of two previous cesarean sections, an emergency cesarean section was performed. Blood gas analysis of the mother before the operation suggested respiratory failure, respiratory acidosis, and metabolic acidosis. During the operation, a baby boy was born. The Apgar score of the boy, birth weight of 2 700 g, was one at 1, 5 and 10 minutes despite the resuscitation efforts. The neonate died after withdrawing treatment. The patient was treated with tracheal intubation ventilator and other supportive treatments after the operation. The result of the new coronavirus nucleic acid test, taken on admission, but which was reported after delivery, was positive. The patient was transferred to the designated hospital for further treatment and was recovering with the withdrawal of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and ventilation support at 26 and 36 days after surgery, respectively.

Dose verification is carried out on the individualized three-dimensional phantom based on 3D printing technology, which simulates the anatomical structure of human body, contour shape, tumor anatomical structure and other dangerous organs to the greatest extent, and produces a reasonable and effective dose validation phantom. According to the need to obtain effective patient data, import Mimics software to reconstruct the parts of the body and its surrounding tissues and organs that need to be measured, and make them into three-dimensional shell components. The 3D printing is used to assemble and fill the equivalent tissue, and then the body phantom is made. The phantom was scanned by CT and the data was transmitted to TPS system. The previously completed treatment plan was transplanted to the phantom. The phantom was placed according to the patient's location information, irradiated and measured data. The three-dimensional shell assembly is completely reconstructed according to the patient's data, and the contour difference is not significant. The shell is filled with tissue radiation equivalent material whose CT value is the same as the average CT value of the shell volume. The CT image data show that the radiation equivalence of the phantom is similar to the actual tissue of the patient, and the equivalent dose distribution conforms to the conventional treatment range. It can provide a reliable means of dose verification for the accurate design of intensity modulated radiation therapy.

AIM:To investigate the relationship between the level of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)in the aqueous humor and macular microcirculation in patients with macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion(RVO-ME).METHODS:A total of 327 patients(327 eyes)with RVO-ME treated in our hospital from July 2022 to July 2024 were selected as the research objects. According to the recurrence or not, they were divided into non-recurrence group(291 cases, 291 eyes)and recurrence group(36 cases, 36 eyes). The clinical data, macular microcirculation index and MCP-1 level were collected. Unordered multinomial Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of MCP-1 on RVO-ME recurrence after excluding the influence of other factors. Cubic spline was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between macular microcirculation indexes and MCP-1 expression level and RVO-ME recurrence. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between macular microcirculation parameters and MCP-1 expression level, and the difference of MCP-1 expression level in recurrence under different macular microcirculation parameters was analyzed. Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect of macular microcirculation indexes on MCP-1 expression level and RVO-ME recurrence.RESULTS: The course of ME, the incidence of vitreomacular traction(VMT), the incidence of fibrous membrane epiretinal membrane(ERM), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), hyperreflective foci in the inner and outer retinal layers(HRF), the frequency and dose of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)injection in the recurrence group were significantly higher than those in the non-recurrence group(all P<0.05). The external limiting membrane(ELM)integrity and ellipsoid zone(EZ)integrity in the recurrence group were significantly worse than those in the non-recurrence group(all P<0.05). The central foveal thickness(CFT), central macular thickness(CMT), superficial capillary plexus(SCP)vascular density, deep capillary plexus(DCP)vascular density and MCP-1 in the recurrence group were higher than those in the non-recurrence group(all P<0.05), and the foveal avascular zone(FAZ)area was lower than that in the non-recurrence group(P<0.05). Logistic analysis showed that MCP-1 was a risk factor for RVO-ME recurrence before and after adjusting for confounding factors. There was a significant non-linear dose-response relationship between macular microcirculation indexes and MCP-1 expression and the risk of RVO-ME recurrence(non-linear test, all P<0.001). The vascular density of CFT, CMT, SCP and DCP was positively correlated with the expression level of MCP-1(all P<0.05), while the FAZ was negatively correlated with MCP-1 expression level(P<0.05). With the increase of vessel density in CFT, CMT, SCP and DCP, and the decrease of FAZ, the expression level of MCP-1 increased, and the risk of RVO-ME recurrence showed an upward trend. The proportion of MCP-1 in Q3(>28.47 pg/mL)group was the highest(P<0.05). Macular microcirculation parameters play a mediating effect between MCP-1 expression level and RVO-ME recurrence.CONCLUSION: The level of MCP-1 in aqueous humor is positively correlated with RVO-ME recurrence, and it is closely related to macular microcirculation. Macular microcirculation has a mediating effect between MCP-1 level and RVO-ME recurrence.
