Objective To discuss the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) in Shanxi province. Methods The medical records of 958 female TNBC patients who were admitted to Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital and the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2005 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological features and prognostic factors were summarized. Results The median age of TNBC patients in Shanxi province was 46 years old (21-87 years old), the median body mass index (BMI) was 24.42 kg/m2 (15.0-37.5 kg/m2), and the rural population was slightly more. The left breast cancer was more than the right breast cancer, and 492 patients (51.4％) were in stage T2. The main histological type was invasive ductal carcinoma. The main surgical method was modified radical mastectomy. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the patient's place of residence, fertility status, age at first birth, breastfeeding history, tumor size, American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging, lymph node metastasis, and surgical approach were associated with the risk of death in TNBC patients (all P<0.05);but the BMI, menstrual status, menarche age, and family history were not associated with the risk of death (all P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that rural residents (HR= 1.46, P= 0.044), positive lymph node metastasis (HR= 2.51, P< 0.01), non-fertility (HR=1.08, P= 0.009) and no surgery (HR= 2.53, P= 0.004) were independent risk factors affecting the risk of death, a history of breastfeeding was a protective factor affecting the risk of death in TNBC patients (HR=0.44, P=0.013). Conclusions In Shanxi province, TNBC is more common in premenopausal women and the main pathological type is invasive ductal carcinoma. Rural population, lymph node positive, non-fertility, and no surgical treatment are independent risk factors for the prognosis of TNBC patients.

Objective To analyze the effect of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID-HSCT) on high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL),and to explore the influence of minimal residual disease (MRD) before transplant on the outcomes.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 39 high risk ALL patients receiving HID-HSCT in our hospital from Jan.2013 to Jan.2018.The clinical features,stem cell engraftment,complications,survival and recurrence were compared between patients with pretransplant MRD + and MRD-.Results All the 39 patients presented with successful engraftment.The overall survival (OS) was 54.67％;the disease free survival (DFS) was 40.96％;the incidence rate of acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) was 53.8％,including 23.1％ Ⅱ-Ⅳ degree aGVHD and 2.6％ Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree aGVHD.There was no significant difference in stem cell engraftment,GVHD,cytomegalovirus infection and hemorrhagic cystitis between MRD + and MRD-patients.DFS and OS in MRD + patients were significantly lower than those in MRD-patients;the cumulative RR rate increased significantly,and there was no significant difference in cumulative TRM.Conclusion HID-HSCT was an effective method to treat high-risk ALL,but MRD + patients had high recurrence rate and poor prognosis.Strategy adjustment should be considered to reduce tumor residual and the transplantation strategy should be optimized for these kinds of high risk patients,so as to improve long-term outcomes.

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of inter-spinal distraction fusion and fixation and Posterior lumbar interbody fusion in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation with stenosis, and to evaluate the health economics of the two surgical methods.Methods:Retrospectivly analyzed the clinical data of 400 patients with lumbar disc herniation with stenosis, who were enrolled in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from Jan. 2015 to Jan. 2019, including 190 male cases and 210 female cases, aged from 50 to 87 years old, with the average age of 67.97. All patients were divided into two groups according to different surgical methods. Among them, 200 patients used interspinous process fusion and distraction fixation (ISDFF group), the other 200 cases used posterior lumbar decompression and pedicle internal fixation (PLIF group). All patients completed the follow-up time of more than 1 year after operation. The basic information of patients′ age, gender, total number of days in hospital, intraoperative bleeding, operation time, surgical incision length and other basic information were observed. The Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI), the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Score (JOA) and the visual analog scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the relief of symptoms before and after the two groups of patients. Total medical expenses, anesthesia expenses, surgical expenses and other expenses were analysed. The software of SPSS 20.0 were conducted to analyze data.Results:The patients in the ISDFF group were (70.84±8.93) years old, and the PLIF group was (65.10±10.23) years old ( t=5.98, P=0.008). The operation time in the ISDFF group was (59.21±16.22) min, and the operation time in the PLIF group was (81.31±17.24) min( t=13.20, P<0.001). The bleeding volume of the ISDFF group was (33.24±11.31) mL, and the bleeding volume of the PLIF group was (67.30±17.61) mL ( t=23.02, P<0.001). The length of the surgical incision in the ISDFF group was (8.27±2.53) cm, and the length of the surgical incision in the PLIF group was (11.15±1.91) cm ( t=11.848, P<0.001). The total hospitalization time in the ISDFF group was (15.15±0.54) days, and the total hospitalization time in the PLIF group was (19.86±0.97) days( t=4.26, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in preoperative ODI, JOA and VAS between the two groups ( P>0.05). Symptoms of postoperative patients were significantly improved compared with preoperative. There were statistical differences in ODI, JOA and VAS between the two groups before and after operation ( P<0.05). However, ODI, JOA and VAS were no statistical difference between the two groups after operation. Complications occurred in 5 cases of the two groups of patients, including two cases of superficial infection in the PLIF group, two cases of dural tear in the PLIF group, one case of spinous process fracture in the ISDFF group. The total hospitalization fee for ISDFF was (57 450±8 670) (yuan), and the total hospitalization fee for PLIF was (75 770±1 640) (yuan), with statistical differences ( t=9.92, P<0.001). The cost of ISDFF operation was 1864±38.19 (yuan), and the cost of PLIF operation was 2352±41.39 (yuan) ( t=8.65, P<0.001). ISDFF antibacterial drug usage fee was 635.5±64.69 (yuan), PLIF antibacterial drug usage fee was 1449±307.1 (yuan) ( t=2.59, P<0.001). The one-time medical material cost during the ISDFF operation was (38 990±300) (yuan), and the one-time medical material cost during the PLIF operation was (52 110±150) (yuan) ( t=5.88, P<0.001). The excellent and good rate of ISDFF group was 92%, and that of PLIF group was 86%. In this study, the total cost of hospitalization was used as an indicator to measure the cost, and further cost-effectiveness evaluation was made. For every good patient, the cost of the ISDFF group was 62 450 yuan, and the cost of the PLIF group was 88, 100 yuan. Conclusions:ISDFF is beneficial to reduce the cost of medical insurance in China, which is in line with the direction of national reform to reduce medical expenditure. It is a surgical method worthy of wide promotion and has a good application prospect.

Objective:To study the efficacy and safety of bone-filling mesh container plasty in the treatment of posterior wall fracture of vertebra caused by spinal metastases.Methods:This study is a retrospective analysis of 65 patients with pathological fractures of the vertebra caused by vertebral metastases treated with bone-filling mesh container plasty from January 2015 to December 2019. There were 21 males and 44 females, 70.3±10.8 (46-90) (years). According to primary tumor, there were 25 cases of lung cancer, 14 cases of breast cancer, 11 cases of digestive system cancer, 13 cases of urinary system cancer, 1 case of lymphoma and 1 case of ovarian cancer. In the segment of vertebral metastases, there were 2 cases of T 2 vertebra, 1 case of T 5 vertebra, 1 case of T 6 vertebra, 2 cases of T 8 vertebra, 1 case of T 9 vertebra, 5 cases of T 10 vertebra, 4 cases of T 11 vertebra, 15 cases of T 12 vertebra, 12 cases of L 1 vertebra, 8 cases of L 2 vertebra, 8 cases of L 3 vertebra, 4 cases of L 4 vertebra, and 2 cases of L 5 vertebra. According to the CT images of the patient's vertebra before operation, the area of the damaged posterior wall of the vertebra is measured as s, and the area of the posterior wall of the intact vertebra is measured as S. The ratio of posterior wall damage is calculated as R= s/ S, and the value of R represents the degree of damage to the posterior wall of the vertebra. According to the size of the R value, the patients were divided into four groups, typeⅠ( R≤25%, 21 cases), typeⅡ(25%< R≤50%, 22 cases), typeⅢ (50%< R≤75%, 14 cases), typeⅣ( R>75%, 8 cases). The visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI) and activity of daily living (ADL) before and 1 day after surgery, 1 month after surgery, and 3 months after surgery were analyzed and compared to evaluate the efficacy of bone-filling mesh container plasty. Pairwise comparisons were performed to verify whether there is a difference in efficacy, bone cement leakage and postoperative complications. Results:All 65 patients were followed up for 3-6 months, with an average of 3.8 months. The VAS scores before surgery, postoperative day 1, postoperative 1, 3 months were 7.32±0.99, 4.14±1.06, 4.11±0.97, and 4.34±1.11, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=149.20, P<0.001). ODI of preoperative, postoperative day 1, postoperative 1, and 3 months were 69.45%±4.15%, 36.65%±3.72%, 36.84%± 3.38%, 37.78%±3.45%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=840.88, P<0.001). ADL score of preoperative, postoperative day 1, postoperative 1, and 3 months were 71.31±12.81, 79.85±9.14, 78.92±8.95, and 78.31±8.67, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=149.20, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in VAS, ODI and ADL scores between types I and IV (all P>0.05), but with the increase of R value, the leakage rate of intraspinal bone cement would increase correspondingly. Eleven cases occurred bone cement leakage with the rate of 17%. The leakage rate of type I and II was 0, type III was 7.1% (1/14), and type IV was 37.5% (3/8). All patients did not have systemic complications such as allergies, shock, decreased oxygen saturation, etc., and there were no bleeding, infection, nerve root symptoms or cement insertion syndrome after surgery. Conclusion:Bone-filling mesh container plasty can significantly improve the pain symptoms of patients with spinal metastases and recovery functions. The degree of damage to the posterior vertebra has no effect on the efficacy of the surgery. As the degree of damage to the posterior wall of the vertebra increases, the risk of complications of bone cement leakage in the spinal canal will increase.

BACKGROUND:Interspinous distraction fusion device BacFuse was used for the management of lumbar degenerative disease and obtained good clinical efficacy in recent years.However,the related biomechanical study was lacking. OBJECTIVE:To explore the related biomechanical characteristics of BacFuse,a novel interspinous distraction fusion device,which was used in lumbar degenerative disease. METHODS:After constructing the goat spinal models(L1-L6),they were grouped into four groups based on different simulated surgeries:the control group,the BacFuse group(L3/4),the screw-rod fixation group(L3/4)and the Topping-off group(L3/4 screw-rod fixation + L2/3 BacFuse fixation).The goat lumbar spine surgical model was assembled into a biomechanical testing system.A biomechanical machine was used for mechanical loading,simulating lumbar spine movement of flexion,extension,lateral flexion and rotation with a 4 Nm moment.A visual tracking system was used for positioning and capturing.Finally,mechanical and optical calibration was completed to calculate the range of motion of the L2/3,L3/4 and L4/5 segments. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the control group,the range of motion of the L3/4 segment in the BacFuse group decreased 27.27%,70%,38.1%and 23.08%in the flexion,extension,lateral bending and rotation directions,respectively(P<0.05).The range of motion of L3/4 segment in the screw-rod fixation group decreased 72.73%,80%,71.43%and 73.08%in the flexion,extension,lateral bending and rotation directions,respectively(P<0.05).(2)Compared with the control group,the range of motion of the adjacent segment L2/3 increased by 33.33%,25%and 23.81%in the extension,lateral bending and rotation directions,respectively in the BacFuse group(P<0.05),with no significant change in flexion.In the screw-rod fixation group,there was a 50%,44.44%,50%and 58.96%increase in the adjacent segment L2/3 in the flexion,extension,lateral calibration and rotation directions,respectively(P<0.05).(3)Compared with the control group,the BacFuse group showed an increase in range of motion in proximal segment L4/5 in the extension and rotation directions by 27.3%and 17.39%(P<0.05)respectively,with no significant change in flexion or lateral bending.In the screw-rob fixation group,the proximal segment L4/5 demonstrated 38.89%,22.73%and 26.09%(P<0.05)increases in range of motion in the flexion,extension and rotation directions,respectively,with no significant change in lateral bending.(4)In the Topping-off group,the range of motion of L2/3 was reduced by 37.04%,73.08%,56.67%and 38.46%in flexion,extension,lateral flexion and rotation,respectively,compared to the screw-rob fixation group(P<0.05).Compared with the screw-rob fixation group,the Topping-off group showed a 20%reduction in the range of motion of the L4/5 in the flexion direction(P<0.05),with no significant differences seen in extension,lateral bending and rotation.(5)It is concluded that the interspinous distraction fusion device BacFuse significantly reduces the range of motion of the implanted segment and provides some stability.It still retains more mobility and reduces the impact on the adjacent segment compared to screw-rob fixation,while the Topping-off tip,which can be used for intervertebral fusion fixation,significantly reduces the range of motion of the adjacent segment and reduces the risk of adjacent segment degeneration.
