OBJECTIVETo study clinical results of reduction and fixation under arthroscopy for the treatment of osteochondrotical lesion in the knee.
METHODSFrom December 2012 to December 2013, 4 patients with the knee joint osteochondritis lesion and free bone fragments were treated with arthroscopy to detect the stripped cartilage, and then the cartilages were reduced with small incision and fixed by cartilage nail. There were 3 males and 1 female, with age of 15, 15, 20 and 27 years old. The durations of the disease were 1 d, 5 d, 1 month and 1 year. All the patients had swelling and effusion in the knee joint, and the floating patellar test was positive. CT examination showed bone defects and loose bodies. The Lysholm, VAS, and Tegner scale were used to evaluate the knee joint functions before and after operation.
RESULTSAll the patients underwent successful surgery. Postoperative CT showed good location of the cartilage without loss of reduced bone and cartilage. All the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 10 to 13 months, with a mean of 12 months. In one patient, arthroscopy examination was conducted for a second time to examine the connection of the fracture part to the surrounding cartilage, and it showed that the internal fixator was not absorbed. The Lysholm, VAS and Tegner scale of all patients were better than those before operation.
CONCLUSIONTreatment of osteochondritis lesion with the fixation of absorbable cartilage nails may reconstruct the integrity of articular surface and recover the stability of joints, and it is an effective treatment method.

3. Clinical effects of sublingual immunotherapy with dermatophagoides farinae drops on mite-allergic cough variant asthma in children
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2018;31(11):1167-1171
ObjectiveFew studies are reported on the sublingual immunotherapy with dermatophagoides farinae drops (DFD) for mite-allergic cough variant asthma (CVA) in children. This study aimed to investigate the clinical effects of DFD sublingual immunotherapy on mite-allergic CVA in children.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 225 children with mite-allergic CVA treated in Wuhan Children′s Hospital from January 2016 to January 2017. The patients were divided into a control (n=123) and an experimental group (n=102) to receive symptomatic treatment and symptomatic treatment combined with DFD sublingual immunotherapy, respectively, both for 10 months. We recorded the relevant indicators, including the symptom scores, lung function parameters, levels of dust mite IgE and inflammatory factors (IL-4, TGF-β and INF-γ), and related risk factors, and compared the data obtained between the two groups of patients before and after treatment.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients in the baseline daily and nocturnal cough symptom scores, lung function parameters, or levels of serum IgE, IL-4, TGF-β and INF-γ (P>0.05). After treatment, the children in the experimental group showed markedly lower daily and nocturnal cough symptom scores than the control (0.87±0.06 and 0.91±0.11 vs 2.54±0.32 and 2.38±0.42, P<0.05), better pulmonary function parameters (FEV1/FVC: \[1.98±0.56\]% / \[79.67±9.05\]% vs \[1.65±0.37\] / \[75.87±11.56\]%, P<0.05), and a higher effectiveness rate (73.53% vs 54.47%, P<0.05). The single- and multi-factor analyses showed that age, disease course and treatment methods were independent risk factors influencing the therapeutic effect on mite-allergic CVA in children (P<0.05).ConclusionSublingual immunotherapy with DFD can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and lung function in children with mite-allergic CVA, which may be associated with the decreased levels of serum IgE, IL-4, TGF-β and INF-γ. Age, disease course and treatment methods are independent risk factors influencing the therapeutic effect.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the most serious post-disaster physical and mental barrier, and intellectual disabilities are more sensitive to the negative effects caused by trauma than the healthy population. The debate existing extensively makes the diagnosis of PTSD in patients with intellectual disability difficult to be understood. There is a need to use uniform diagnostic criteria, howere, it still remains a problem for less experienced clinicians.

Identification of complex traumatic stress disorders has beyond the traditional definition of trauma and experimentally diagnostic statement of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-Ⅳ-TR). Because of the disturbance of complex trauma, traumatic stress symptoms and its hurt results, it is difficult to make accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. This article began with the reasons why it was hard to define complex trauma, viewed from clinical diagnosis and treatment, discussed the importance of defining complex trauma, its multiple effects on individuals and the psychological and social factors aggravating complex trauma.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has long been clinical practice to use a three-part phased model in the treatment of trauma and the dissociative disorders. The phased treatment is an intrinsic element of the model presented throughout this article, which integrates the eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) standard protocol and additional components: ego state therapy, attachment theory, and dissociative disorder treatment interventions. Although the researches on this model are still in its infancy, it is the current standard of care because of its efficacy with traumatized and dissociative-disordered clients.

Objective To observe the anesthesia effect of dezocine and pentazocine in painless artificial abortion, in order to provide a basis for safe use of anesthesia drug in clinical practice. Methods Totally,300 patients undergoing painless artificial abortion were included in this study.The patients were randomly divided into four groups: group A (simple propofo), group B ( propofol combined with fentanyl) ,group C ( propofol combined with dezocine) and group D ( propofol combined with pentazocine)(n=75 each).Four groups of patients were intravenously injected with propofol (1-1.5 mg?kg-1) according to the situation in operation when necessary to maintain anesthesia effect.Heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),arterial oxygen saturation ( SpO2 ) and respiratory frequency were observed and recorded before induction,after induction,at the beginning of the operation,during operation and anesthesia recovery. The onset time of anesthesia, the recovery time, the recovery time of orientation,the postoperative pain score and the incidence of adverse reaction of the four groups were recorded. Results All of the patients achieved good effects of anesthesia in operations. There was no significant difference in the onset time of anesthesia (P>0.05).Awakening time and time of orientation recovery in groups B,C and D were significantly shorter than those in group A (P<0.05).The dosages of propofol in group C and D were significantly less than those in group A and B (P<0.05).The changes of HR,MAP,SpO2 and respiratory frequency after induction were not significantly different in group B,C and D (P>0.05),but the changes were relatively stable as compared with group A (P<0.05).The rates of adverse reactions in group B,C and D were significantly lower than that in group A (P<0.05).The incidence rates of respiratory depression,nausea and vomiting in group C and D were significantly lower than those in group A and B (P<0.05).The postoperative pain scores of VAS in group B,C and D were significantly lower than that of group A (P<0.05). Conclusion The analgesia effects of dezocine and pentazocine are similar.Application of them can reduce the dosage of propofol and shorten the anesthesia awakening time in painless artificial abortion,at the same time they have less adverse reactions,and they are safe and effective to be used in clinical anesthesia.
