Objective:To compare clinical effects of the open versus closed high tibial osteotomy on knee osteoarthritis.Methods:A total of 100 patients with knee osteoarthritis admitted to our hospital from May 2018 to May 2019 were included.They were randomly divided into groups A and B(n=50, each group)according to the principle of random and double blind.Patients in group A received the medial opening high tibial osteotomy, and group B were treated with lateral closed high tibial osteotomy.The changes in the Lysholm knee score, hospital for special surgery(HSS)knee score and complications were compared between the two groups before and 1 year after surgery.The correction angle, the change of patella height before and after operation, and the change of posterior slope of tibial plateau were compared between the two groups.Results:Before and after treatment, Lysholm scores were(63.51±5.47)and(90.98±5.84)( t=24.275, P=0.000), and HSS scores were(51.85±4.68)and(88.64±5.87)( t=34.652, P=0.000). Lysholm scores were(62.98±6.14)and(91.52±6.54 9)( t=22.497, P=0.000), and HSS scores were(52.05±5.16)and(89.54±5.15)( t=36.362, P=0.000)in group A and B, .After treatment, all index were significantly improved in the two groups, but there was no statistical difference between the two groups( P>0.05). In group A, the posterior slope of tibial plateau were(8.75±1.48)° and(10.25±1.65)°( t=4.785, P=0.000)and the patellar height was(0.890±0.031)and(0.898±0.032)( t=1.270, P=0.207)before and after treatment.Before and after treatment in group B, the posterior slope of tibial plateau were(8.69±1.53)° and(5.26±1.21)°( t=12.434, P=0.000)and the patellar height were(0.889±0.047)and(0.821±0.039)( t=7.873, P=0.000). The correction angle, posterior slope of tibial plateau and patella height were significantly improved after treatment in the two groups.While, the decreases of posterior slope of tibial plateau and patella height were better in the group B than in the group A( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusions:For treatment of knee osteoarthritis patients, the medial opening high tibial osteotomy and lateral closed high tibial osteotomy have the same exact effect and high safety, but the two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages in clinical treatment.And the appropriate surgical treatment can be selected according to the characteristics of patients.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of three-dimensional digital technology (3D-CTA) in repairing wounds of the limb with anterolateral thigh perforator flap.
Methods:
From April 2014 to June 2017, 12 patients with extensive skin and soft tissue defects on extremities were selected from the Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang. Twelve patients were performed anterior femoral perforator flaps. There were 9 males and 3 females, aged from 23 to 52 years old, with the mean age of 32 years. The defects were 8 cm×3 cm to 25 cm×9 cm in size, and all of them were accompanied by bone and/or muscle exposure. Preoperative CT scan of the donor site of the free flap used to achieve the three-dimensional images of arterial blood area, in order to determine the origin, direction, classification, length, diameter and the position of pedicle perforator of the anterolateral thigh perforator flap by 3D-CTA.According to the preoperative condition of lateral circumflex femoral artery, the perforator flaps of anterolateral femoral artery on the contralateral or ipsilateral side were designed to repair the wound.
Results:
Twelve anterolateral thigh perforator flaps have been transferred using above methods. All the flaps survived well and the donor site was directly closed.All patients were followed up for 1-6 months (mean 3 months). The appearance of flaps was satisfactory. The diameter and location of the perforator artery were measured using pre-operative digital angiography, as well as the actual value of perforator artery. Preoperative digital examination was consistent with the type of perforator found during the operation, with an accuracy of 100%.
Conclusions
For the soft tissue reconstruction by anterolateral thigh perforator flaps, preoperative digitization technology can identify the diameter, the type and origin of vessels, optimize the operation plan, reduce the difficulty of flap design, and reduce the risk of operation.

Objective:To study and compare the impact of lymph node metastasis and dissection on the prognosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients at different anatomical locations, as well as the effect on prognosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 150 ICC patients who underwent radical surgical resection at the 904th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from September 2017 to September 2020. Among them, 86 were males and 64 were females, with the age of (56.2±12.9) years. Differences in albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade, preoperative lymph node metastasis risk, number of lymph nodes dissected, lymph node metastasis, and postoperative survival between peripheral and central ICC patients were compared to analyze the impact of lymph node dissection on the prognosis of ICC patients at different locations.Results:There were statistically significant differences in ALBI grade, preoperative lymph node metastasis risk, the number of lymph nodes dissected, and lymph node metastasis between 98 cases of peripheral ICC and 52 cases of central ICC (all P<0.05). The 3-year overall survival rates for peripheral and central ICC patients were 30.6% and 15.4%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=8.46, P=0.004). Among central ICC patients, the 3-year overall survival rates for those with ≥6 lymph nodes dissected and <6 lymph nodes dissected were 16.7% and 12.5%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=3.96, P=0.046). In the high-risk central ICC patients with preoperative lymph node metastasis, the 3-year overall survival rate of ≥6 lymph nodes dissection ( n=22) and <6 lymph nodes dissection ( n=12) were 13.6% and 8.3%, respectively, with statistical significance ( χ2=5.55, P=0.019). Conclusions:The prognosis of peripheral ICC patients is better than that of central ICC patients. For central ICC patients with a high preoperative lymph node metastasis risk, adequate lymph node dissection can lead to a better prognosis.
