Objective To summarize the anesthesia management and surgical characteristic of modified extended Morrow procedure in treating hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Methods This retrospective study was conducted in 139 patients (male 83 and female 56)aged from 1 1 to 66 years.They underwent general anesthesia by high dose intravenous fentanyl or sufentanyl combined with propofol infusion and low concentration sevoflurane inhalation.The surgeons chose ap-propriate surgical procedures,including modified extended Morrow procedure,or combined with mi-tral valve repair (replacement)and coronary artery bypass grafting,etc.All patients received intraop-erative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE ) or epicardial echocardiography monitoring. Results There was no death case in hospital.All patients were hemodynamically stable and there were no malignant adverse events such as ventricular fibrillation during perioperative period.70 (50.4%)of patients automatically recovered to cardiac rhythm after aortic unclamping,and 1 1 (7.9%)of patients needed temporary pacemaker due to atrioventricular block.Cardiopulmonary by-pass (CPB)were weaned off successfully without positive inotropic drugs in 103(74.1%)of patients, while others 36(25.9%)needed low dose dopamine,epinephrine or norepinephrine to maintain hemo-dynamics stable.The CPB time was (142 ± 5 1 )min and the time of aortic clamping was (96 ± 37 ) min.Blood protection was used in all patients and 129 (92.8%)of the patients didn’t receive any blood product.Conclusion Modified extended Morrow procedure was a safe and effective surgical pro-cedure for treatment of HOCM.Experienced teamwork was essential to achieve satisfactory clinical results.The key points of anesthesia management were administration of appropriate preoperative drugs,maintaining adequate anesthesia depth,appropriate preload and afterload,heart rate and rhythm.Intraoperative TEE monitoring was the golden standard for guiding and evaluating the effec-tiveness of the surgical procedures.Meanwhile protection of myocardium,lung,brain and blood can help to obtain satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Objective:To explore the effect of hydrotherapy combined with breathing training on lung function and mobility of patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injury.Methods:A total of 80 patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injury admitted to Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from April 2018 to March 2020 were selected as observation objects.A prospective cohort study was conducted and randomly divided into observation group and control group with 40 cases in each group.The control group was given routine rehabilitation therapy combined with respiratory training.On the basis of the control group, the observation group was treated with water therapy.The indexes of lung function, motor function, lower limb muscle tension, function evaluation and activities of daily living were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, the observation group′s forced vital capacity (FVC) was (3.86±0.82) L, the forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) was (3.76±0.68) L, the maximum ventilation (MVV) was (102.34±10.38) L/min, the maximum suction pressure (MIP) is (50.36±4.62) cmH 2O; the control group FVC was (3.41±0.76) L, and FEV1 was ( 3.35±0.63) L, MVV was (90.67±11.68) L/min, MIP was (44.38±4.85) cmH 2O, the difference between the two groups is statistically significant ( t=2.546, 2.797, 4.723, 5.646, respectively, all P<0.05). After the intervention, the motor function score of the american spinal injury association (ASIA) of the observation group was (58.62±7.56) points, and the modified ashworth scale (MAS) score was (2.74±0.89) points; The ASIA motor function score of the control group was (42.24±6.40) points, and the MAS score was (3.36±0.94) points.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=10.459 and -3.029, respectively, all P<0.05). After intervention, the observation group′s spinal cord independence measure (SCIM III) score was (75.33±10.72) points, and the modified barthel index (MBI) was (66.64±6.34) points; the SCIM III score of the control group was (68.34±9.55) points, and the MBI score was (57.52±6.77) points, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=3.079 and 6.219, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Hydrotherapy combined with breathing training can significantly improve lung function and respiratory muscle strength in patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injury, and improve motor function and ability of daily living.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different plasticizers on the compressive strength of injectable calcium sulfate cement (ICSC).Methods:Hydroxymethylcellulose (CMC), methylcellulose (MC), hyaluronic acid (HA), stearic acid (SA) and self-made hemihydrate calcium sulfate were used to mix them, and the compressive strength of the complex was observed after reaction with normal saline; the changes of ICSC's own properties, such as setting time and injectability, were recorded.Results:The compressive strength of calcium sulfate was 21±4.58 mPa, and the final setting time was 3.86 ± 0.09 min. Different concentrations of SA had no significant effect on the compressive strength of calcium sulfate ( F=1.593, P=0.266), but prolonged the setting time ( F=29.868, P=0.000). CMC with different concentrations significantly reduced the compressive strength of calcium sulfate ( F=23.943, P=0.000), and the setting time was prolonged to more than 120 min. Different concentrations of MC can improve the compressive strength of calcium sulfate ( F=4.808, P=0.034), and prolong the setting time ( F=191.192, P=0.000); among them, 1% and 3% MC can significantly improve the compressive strength ( P=0.007, 0.027). Different concentrations of HA can improve the compressive strength ( F=3.818, P=0.058), and prolong the setting time ( F=262.515, P=0.000), of which 3% and 5% were significantly improved ( P=0.026, 0.015), while 1% group was not significantly improved ( P=0.062). In addition, the injectable properties of HA, MC, stearic acid and CMC are better, respectively. Conclusion:SA and CMC can not be used to improve the compressive strength of calcium sulfate, while HA and MC of appropriate concentration can improve the compressive strength of ICSC, and improve the injectable performance, but MC can make the coagulation time more in line with clinical needs.

Bioactive glasses (BGs) are a kind of biomaterials with osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties and are able to create a strong bond with host bone and promote osteogenesis after implantation. According to their compositions, bioactive glasses can be classified as silicate BGs, phosphate BGs, and borate BGs. Nowadays, silicate BGs are still the most common, while phosphate BGs and borate BGs have higher dissolution and degradation rates. Melt?quenching and sol?gel process are two basic methods to produce melt?derived BGs and sol?gel BGs, respectively. The latter requires lower heat treatment temperature with higher specific surface area and biological activity. Bioactive glass?ceramics can be obtained by heat treatment, which improves the mechanical strength but slightly reduces the bioactivity. Nano?bioactive glasses with the higher specific surface area can be ob?tained by changing the structure size of the materials by other treatment methods. On this basis, 3D BGs scaffolds can be made, and hybrid BGs scaffolds as well by combining with other biomaterials to obtain the 3D interconnected pores with the hierarchical or bionic structures, to enhance the mechanical strength, osteogenic activity and provide mechanical support suitable for the host bone. However, the bioactivity of BGs depends on the degradation rate, to some extent, which is contradictory to the mechanical strength. An appropriate porosity or controllable degradation rate can be selected to meet the common needs of early support and osteogenesis. In basic studies, it was found that BGs could act on cells by releasing ions or through the macropinocytosis pathway, up?regulating the expression of related genes or promoting osteogenesis. The degradation rates of BGs are related to their struc?tures and compositions, which enables the quantitative prediction of the change of mechanical strength during degradation. Prog?ress has also been made in structural mechanics and testing methods.

Objective To explore the feasibility of automating the measurement of abduction angle after total hip arthroplasty(THA)on postoperative radiographs by using deep learning algorithms.Methods The data were retrospectively collected.A total of 381 cases were used to develop deep learning model.Two radiologists annotated the key points on the images(lateral-superior point and medial-inferior point of acetabular cups,tear drops).The data was split into training dataset(304 cases),tuning dataset(38 cases),and test dataset(39 cases).A 2D U-net model was trained to segment the key points and the abduction angle were automatically meas-ured.After development of the model,an external validation dataset was collected(143 cases).Dice similarity coefficient(DSC)and mean absolute error(MAE)were used to evaluate the prediction efficiency of the model in the test dataset and the external validation dataset.Bland-Altman test was used to analyze the agreement between the abduction angle measured automatically by the model and the physician measurement.Results The DSC were 0.870-0.905 and 0.690-0.750 in the test dataset and the external validation dataset,and the corresponding MAE were 0.311-0.561 and 0.951-1.310.For the result of Bland-Altman analysis,only 6.52％(3/46)and 2.08％(3/144)of the abduction angle measurements in the test dataset and external validation dataset were outside the 95％limit of agreement(LoA).In the qualitative evaluation of the abduc-tion angle,the agreement of the model with the physician were 97.8％and 90.3％in the test dataset and the external validation dataset.Conclusion It is feasible to use deep learning algorithms to automatically measure the abduction angle after THA on X-ray images,achieving similar accuracy to that of physician.
