BACKGROUND: Low power laser irradiation has positive effects on fracture healing, including shortening the time of bone union and enhancement of bone formation. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of different wave lengths in low power laser on eedy fracture healing. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized, controlled, animal experiment. The study was performed at the Laser Center of Dankook University Medical Center between May 2005 and May 2006. MATERIALS: A total of 60 female English Hartley guinea pigs, 9 weeks old, weighing (300～30) g, were used for this experiment. They were randomly divided into three groups control, 632, and 830 nm groups (n=20). METHODS: The right femoral middle shaft fractures were made with a bone cutter and fixed with intramedullary nails (1.4 mm diameter K-wire). The frequencies of 632 nm and 830 nm semi-conductor laser machines were used. The laser irradiations were started 48 hours after operation vertically at the fracture sites and were applied every two days, at 100 J/cm<'2> of the same irradiation doses and 2.52 cm<'2> of the same irradiation areas in different irradiation groups. Finally, 46 guinea pigs survived, including 14 in control group, 16 in 632 nm group and 16 in 830 nm group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Guinea pigs were sacdficed at 3 and 6 weeks separately. The bone healing was assessed by the Modified Zorlu Scoring System, including gross, radiologic and histologic examinations. RESULTS: In the gross and radiologic findings, both 632 nm and 830 nm irradiation groups shown a significantly greater rate of callus formation at postoperatively 3 weeks compared to the control group (P< 0.01). Quantity of callus formation in 830 nm group was more than 632 nm group, but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). The result of histological findings showed a significant increase of osteoblastic proliferation in two irradiation groups than the control group at 3 weeks postoperatively (P < 0.01). Enhancement of osteoblastic proliferation was more obvious in 830 nm group than in 632 nm group at 3 and 6 weeks, but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Both 632 nm and 830 nm wave lengths are considered to be optimal irradiation wave lengths for eady fracture healing. Moreover, 830 nm irradiation is better than 632 nm irradiation for eady fracture healing.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of the domestic "Skywalker" surgical robot in implementing personalized lower limb alignment reconstruction scheme in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the short-term clinical outcome of robotic assisted TKA.Methods:From September 2020 to January 2021, the data of patients who received surgical robot assisted TKA in 5 clinical centers in China (Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Southwest Hospital affiliated to Third Military Medical University, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital, and Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine was the group leader) were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. There were 24 males and 82 females with an average age of 67.6±7.3 years, (range 45-80 years); Average body mass index 26.42±4.31 kg/m 2, all the operation were performed by "Skywalker" surgical robot system according to preoperative design based on CT. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization days and postoperative complications were recorded, and the imaging indexes including hip-knee-ankle (HKA), lateral distal angle of femur (LDFA) and medial proximal angle of tibia (MPTA) measured before and after the operation, implant model indexes (preoperative planning implant model and postoperative implant model) and short-term clinical efficacy indexes [Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index] pain score, stiffness score, joint function score, total score and SF-12 score before and 3 months after the operation) were compared. Results:The average follow-up period was 109.60±9.80 d, (range 95-143 d). The average operation time of 106 patients was 105.30±23.22 min; The average intraoperative blood loss was 141.70±58.33 ml; The average length of hospitalization was 5.82±2.80 d. One patient had ischemic stroke after operation, and one patient had abnormal liver function after operation. According to the judgment of the investigator, all of them were not related to the operation. The actual angle error is the difference between the preoperative planning angle and the postoperative measurement angle. The absolute error of 99.1% (105/106) of the HKA angle was within 3°, 90.8% (69/76) of LDFA, 98.7% (75/76) of the MPTA. In 45 patients in one center where data were available, the actual implant models used in all patients were consistent with the preoperative planning size, and there were only differences in version selection such as Asian condyle. WOMAC pain score, joint function score, total score was improved from 7.34±2.85, 25.10±9.85, 34.75±13.02 to 3.34±2.66, 14.68±9.64, 18.66±13.49 before and after operation, respectively, which were statistically significant ( P<0.001) and SF-12 physiological score and psychological score were improved form 27.24±6.42, 30.68±8.26 to 38.83±5.74, 39.36±7.85 before and after operation, respectively, which were statistically significant ( t=7.33, P<0.001; t=4.53, P=0.043). Conclusion:Domestic surgical robot system "Skywalker" can assist the surgeon to achieve accurate and personalized reconstruction of lower limb alignment and achieve satisfactory short-term clinical outcomes. The long-term clinical outcomes of personalized reconstruction and survival rate of implant still need to be further studied.

Objective To compare the short-term outcomes between lateral retinacular release (LRR) via a prolonged incision versus arthroscopic LRR in osteofascial medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) for recurrent patellofemoral dislocation.Methods From May 2012 to March 2015,51 patients with recurrent patellofemoral dislocation were treated at the Department of Joint Surgery,The Third Affiliated Hospital to Hebei Medical University.They were 16 males and 35 females,aged from 20 to 36 years (mean 27.2 years).Of them,28 underwent LRR via a prolonged incision in MPFL-R (incision group) and 23 did arthroscopic LRR in MPFL-R (microscopic group).Imaging changes were assessed by comparing preoperative and postoperative values of patella extensibility,patellar tilt angle,trochlear groove angle and tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove spacing (TT-TG);the knee joints were scored with Kujala and Lysholm functional rating systems at the last follow-ups.Results The 2 groups were compatible due to insignificant differences in the general data between them preoperatively (P ＞ 0.05).The 51 patients were followed up for 10 to 32 months (average,20 months).The rate of dislocation in the incision and microscopic groups were 0 and 8.7％ (2/23),respectively.There were no such complications in either group as patellar fracture,deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity or limited joint extension or flexion.The last follow-ups revealed that no patients in either group were inflicted with patellofemoral re-dislocation.In the incision group,the patella extensibility,patellar tilt angle,Kujala score and Lysholm score were,respectively,19.65％ ± 0.75％,12.39°±0.76°,56.37 ±2.94 points and 51.64 ±6.22 points preoperatively,and 10.34％ ± 0.60％,8.83°±0.89°,92.68 ±2.75,and 90.71 ± 1.91 points postoperatively;in the microscopic group,the patella extensibility,patellar tilt angle,Kujala score and Lysholm score were,respectively,19.56％ ±0.62％,12.35° ± 0.66°,57.46 ± 3.08 points and 52.20 ± 6.94 points preoperatively,and 10.24％ ±0.66％,8.78° ± 0.92°,92.53 ± 3.32 points and 90.41 ± 2.90 points postoperatively.There were significant differences between the preoperative and postoperative values in both 2 groups (P ＜ 0.05).However,there were no significant differences between the preoperative and the postoperative values in trochlear groove angle or TT-TG in either group (P ＞ 0.05).There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in all the above preoperative and postoperative values (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion In MPFL-R for recurrent patellofemoral dislocation,both LRR via a prolonged incision and arthroscopic LRR can improve the patellofemoral joint alignment and stability of the tibia,leading to good short-term outcomes.

【Objective】 To explore the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in the genotyping of difficult blood typing samples, and to provide evidence for clinical blood transfusion. 【Methods】 Three ambiguous blood group samples, submitted to Shanghai Blood Center by Shanghai regional hospitals, were studied, of which Sample1 included the proband and his parents. Serological methods were used to perform blood group typing, direct antibody test, unexpected antibody screening and identification test. Blood group genotyping was performed by using the MALDI-TOF MS detection systeme stablished in our laboratory. Sanger sequencing was used to confirm gene mutation sites, and serological or flow methods were used to verify specific samples′ phenotype. 【Results】 Serological results indicated the existence of antibodies against high frequency antigens in sample 1 (including proband and her mother), 2 and 3. The genotyping results of MALDI-TOF MS showed that the proband of sample 1 was Di(a+ b+ ), her father was Di(a-b+ ), her mother was Di(a+ b-), sample 2 was p, and sample 3 was Jr(a-). Sequencing results of three samples were consistent with mass spectrometry typing results. Serological results showed that sample 2 had a p phenotype. The flow cytometry results suggested that sample 3 had a Jr(a-) phenotype. 【Conclusion】 For the first time, we applied MALDI-TOF MS technology to blood type genotyping of ambiguous clinical samples in China. Compared with other genotyping methods such as PCR-SSP, MALDI-TOF MS has the advantages of rapid detection, high throughput and high specificity, which would contribute to identification of difficult blood typing samples in the future, as well as rare blood group screening.

Objective: To evaluate the cost-utility of different immunization strategies for rabies in China, and to provide a reference for determining the optimal immunization strategy. Methods: The system dynamics model was used to simulate the epidemic of canine rabies and a decision tree model was conducted to analysis different immune strategies. Relevant probabilities were obtained through literature search and on-site investigation. Sensitivity analysis was used to explore the important influenced factors. Results: At baseline, from a social perspective, 70% vaccination of dogs was the optimal strategy compared to current vaccination strategy (43% vaccination in dogs, human category-Ⅱ exposure vaccination/category-Ⅲ exposure vaccination combined with RIG). The total cost was 14 084 354 CNY, and the total utility value was 22 078 616.23 QALYs, and the incremental cost-utility ratio was-62 148 147 CNY/QALY; if human vaccination was considered, 55% vaccination of dogs combined with strategy one was the optimal strategy, its incremental cost-utility ratio was-444 620 557 CNY/QALY. The probability that an injured dog carries rabies virus was the most sensitive parameter. When it was greater than 0.005 03, strategy four was the optimal strategy. When it was less than 82/100 000, strategy one was the optimal strategy; when it was between 82/100 000 and 120/100 000, strategy two was the optimal strategy; when it was between 120/100 000 and 503/100 000, strategy two was the optimal strategy. Conclusion It was conducive to increase the vaccination coverage of canine for the prevention and control of rabies.
