Objective To systemic evaluate postoperative pulmonary function between segmentectomy and lobectomy in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer.Methods Computer searched was performed up to September 2016 at the Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMBASE,CBM,CNKI,VIP and Wanfang database,collected postoperative pulmonary function between segmentectomy and lobectomy in Patients with early stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.Study selection,data collection and critical assessment of the included studies were performed according to the recommendations of the Cochrane Collaboration.Results Eight studies included 308 segmentectomy and 386 lobectomy were identified for inclusion.FVC% (MD =9.91,95% CI:3.53-16.30,P =0.002),postoperation / preoperation FVC% (MD =6.74,95% CI:5.52-7.79,P <0.05),FEV1% (MD =13.25,95% CI:10.25-16.26,P < 0.05),postoperation / preoperation FEV1% (MD =7.18,95 % CI:5.88-8.48,P < 0.05) showed significant difference.Conclusion Pulmonary function index was superior to lobectomy after segmentectomy in patients with early stage lung cancer,and segmentectomy resection was more beneficial to preserve lung function.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of 3D printed osteotomy guide plate combined with "Jail" screw technique in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures involving external posterior condylar collapse.Methods:From January 2016 to January 2021, 41 patients (22 males and 19 females) with tibial plateau fractures involving external posterior condylar collapse were treated with 3D printed osteotomy guide plate combined with "Jail" screw technique and followed up. The age was 47.4±11.5 years (range, 22-69 years). According to Schatzker fracture type, 18 cases were type IV, 14 cases were type V and 9 cases were type VI. All fractures were closed, and 12 of them were complicated with lateral meniscus injury, but none of them were complicated with nerve and vascular injury. The time from injury to operation was 7.2±3.4 d (range, 4-17 d). All patients underwent 3D CT scanning and digital modeling before operation. According to the modeling results, a 1∶1 solid size fracture model was made by 3D printing, and the osteotomy guide plate and the "Jail" screw preset guide plate were designed. During the operation, the tibial lateral condyle osteotomy was performed with customized osteotomy guide plate. After reduction, the fixation of the fracture was performed with the preset guide plate using "Jail" screw. Postoperative fracture reduction was evaluated according to Rasmussen score, and knee function was evaluated by Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score.Results:All the 41 patients were followed up for 15.2±5.8 months (range, 6-26 months). Immediate postoperative radiographs showed good fracture reduction, and the average healing time was 14.1±1.2 weeks (range, 12-17 weeks). One year after operation, the Rasmussen score of knee joint was 17.4±1.6 points (range, 13-19 points), of which 31 cases were excellent, 8 cases were good, and 2 cases were fair, with an excellent/good rate of 95% (39/41). HSS scores was 87.3±5.6 points (range, 68-95 points), including 30 excellent cases, 10 good cases and 1 fair case, with an excellent/good rate of 98% (40/41). The range of motion of knee joint was 126.8°±3.8°. At the last follow-up, no serious complications such as common peroneal nerve injury, popliteal vascular injury, postoperative infection, or internal fixation failure occurred.Conclusion:3D printed osteotomy guide plate combined with "Jail" nail placement technique is an effective method for tibial plateau fractures involving external posterior condylar collapse, and the postoperative treatment results are satisfactory. The use of customized osteotomy guide plate is more accurate and less damaging. The use of "Jail" screw preset guide plate can ensure more accurate screw placement.

Objective:To compare the short-term therapeutic effects of Gamma 3 U-Blade system and Gamma 3 nails in the treatment of elderly patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:The data of 70 elderly patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture were retrospectively analyzed who had been admitted to the Department of Orthopedics, Wuhan Fourth Hospital from June 2018 to December 2020. They were divided into 2 groups according to their treatments. In the U-Blade group of 35 cases subjected to fixation with Gamma 3 U-Blade system, there were 14 males and 21 females with an age of (77.7 ± 4.8) years; in the Gamma 3 nail group of 35 cases subjected to fixation with Gamma 3 nails, there were 14 males and 21 females with an age of (79.3 ± 5.2) years. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, apex distance, fracture union time, postoperative complications, timed up and go (TUG) at postoperative 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months, and hip function at postoperative 9 months.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference either in operation time, intraoperative blood loss or apex distance between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The fracture union time [(12.0 ± 0.2) weeks] and Harris hip score at postoperative 9 months [90 (90, 91)] in the U-Blade group were insignificantly different from those in the Gamma 3 nail group [(12.0 ± 0.3) weeks and 91 (89, 91)] ( P>0.05). The rate of implant-related complications in the U-Blade group [0% (0/35)] was significantly lower than that in the Gamma 3 nail group [17.1% (6/35)] and the TUGs at postoperative 2 weeks and 3 months [(80.2 ± 3.6) s and 45 (43, 49) s] in the former were significantly shorter than those in the latter [(89.3 ± 4.2) s and 56 (54, 59) s] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of elderly patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture, compared with traditional Gamma 3 nails, Gamma 3 U-Blade system can reduce implant-related complications and facilitate early recovery of walking ability.

Massive open online course (MOOC) is an emerging online course model for the public. It is large-scale, open, interactive, etc. Therefore, MOOC has been developing rapidly at home and abroad in recent years. The advanced education philosophy of MOOC has also brought many inspirations to the teaching reform mode of Radiation Medicine. Under the background of the current military reform, the building of the online teaching platform on the basis of MOOC may realize the substantive reform of Radi-ation Medicine teaching, which can improve the comprehensive quality of the teachers and students, and cultivate more excellent military medical talents.

Radiation Medicine is a required subject for the students in the military medical univer-sity at present. However, some of those students are short of a deep understanding of the importance of this curriculum, which results in the changes of their learning attitudes, the lack of the proper attention on this subject, as well as the poor teaching results because of the out-dated teaching contents, the lack of the clini-cal cases, and the compression of this course, etc. Notably, the impact of the nuclear threat on the world is deepening, and the use of nuclear energy in all fields is increasing. Therefore, it is quite necessary to carry out the medical rescue after suffering from the sudden nuclear accident or nuclear threat, especially to cope with the radiation injuries well in the future battlefield by learning this course well. Based on the new trend of the nuclear threats, the nuclear accidents and the nuclear terrorism at present, we discussed how to im-prove the enthusiasm of the students in learning this course, and to enhance their learning effect.

Helminth infections may trigger host innate and adaptive immune responses. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are an important factor involved in type 2 immune responses, and produce a large number of T helper 2 cell (Th2) cytokines following stimulation by interleukin (IL)-25, IL-33 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), which play a critical role in parasite clearance and tissue repair. Following helminth infections, autocrine factors, mast cells, enteric nervous system and Th2 cells have been recently found to be involved in regulation of ILC2. Unraveling the role of ILC2 in immune response against helminth infections is of great value for basic research and drug development. This review summarizes the research progress on ILC2 and its role in helminth infections.
