The principal investigator responsibility system has been progressively under implementation at some of the domestic medical universities. However, since there are big differences between military medical universities and civilian ones in terms of organizational structures, tasks to be committed, functions and personnel systems, military medical universities have to consider own characteristics and well handle the following four pairs of relations in the process of implementing principal investigator responsibility system: the relation between the subject groups and the teaching and research sections, the relation between the subject research and the discipline construction, the relation between the subject research and the personnel training, and the relation between the collective assessment and the individual assessment in the process of performance assessment.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of modified and traditional posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.Methods A retrospective review was made on 47 patients who sustained monosegmental L4.5 stenosis due to lumbar degenerative revise and characterized by typical intermittent claudication and single or both limb numbness and pain.The patients were randomly allocated to Group A and Group B using the lottery method.Group A (n =24) consisted of 10 males and 14 females at mean age of 52 years (range,47-66 years) and the course of disease averaged 13 months (range,9-23 months).Group B (n =23) contained 8 males and 15 females at mean age of 53 years (range,49-67 years) and the course of disease averaged 11.5 months (range,6-22months).Modified PLIF including spinous process replantation combined with canal H-shaped bone grafting for posterior column reconstruction and interbody fusion was performed in Group A.Traditional PLIF,namely posterior spinal decompression and interbody fusion,was performed in Group B.Waist function rehabilitation after surgery of the patients in the two groups was assessed using the Oswestry disability index (ODI) and postoperative results were analyzed.Results There were no significant differences between Groups A and B regarding the operation time [(1 90 ± 15.66) min vs (170 ± 11.32) min] and intraoperative blood loss [(980 ± 35.58) ml vs (879 ± 21.25) ml] (P ＞ 0.05).Mean period of follow-up was 20 months (range,12-28 months).Postoperative results in Group A were graded as excellent in 19cases,good in three,fair in two and poor in zero,with excellence rate of 88％.While in Group B,the results were excellent in 13 cases,good in four,fair in four and poor in two,with excellence rate of 74％(P ＜ 0.05).ODI score and symptom improvement rate after operation were better in Group A than in Group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The modified PLIF including spinous process replantation combined with canal H-shaped bone grafting for posterior column reconstruction is relatively an ideal surgical technique for treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis and deserves wide promotion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of preventing tendon adhesion by using bFGF/ vitamin C composite biodegradable membrane.MethodsSixty Newzerland rabbits were divided into experimental and control groups randomly.After the animal model was established, the tendon autografts were encapsulated with the bFGF/vitamin C composite biodegradable membrane in experimental group, while no tendon autografts encapsulation in control.Three weeks after surgery, regular HE staining and AgNO3 staining were performed to observe the fibroblast nuclei and vitamin C.The quantity of collagen fibrils was measured by Luzex-F Image Analyzer.Eight weeks after surgery, the peritendinous adhesion and the maximum tensile load were analyzed.Results At 3 weeks after surgery, the numbers of vitamin C granules, fibroblast nuclei and collagen fibrils in the experimental group were significantly more than those in the control group(t = 11.78 ,P ＜0.001) .At 8 weeks after surgery, the peritendinous adhesion in the experimental group was significantly slighter than that in the control group(Z =3.922,P ＜0.005) ,and the maximum tensile load in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (t = 8.39, P ＜ 0.001) .ConclusionbFGF/vitamin C composite biodegradable membrane can stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts and synthesis of collagen fibrils,improve the biomechanical property of tendon autografts and prevent the tendon adhesion.

Objective To explore the effect of secondary brain injury(SBI) in high-risk factors and brain malignant encephaiocele during surgical operation for severe traumatic brain injury. Methods Carried on the grouping graduation to 112 patients with severe traumatic brain injury according to SBI's high-risk factors:non-high-risk factors group (pure group) 23 cases, high-risk factors group (SBI group) 89 cases, 1 level of high-risk factors group had 27 cases, 2 level of high-risk factors group had 28 cases, 3 level of high-risk factors group had 34 cases. Results Carried on the comprehensive therapy regarding the above patients, the brain malignant encephalocele rate in the SBI group and the pure group was 59.55% (53/89) and 13.04%(3/23) respectively, there was significant statistics differences in the two groups,1 level and 2 level of high-risk factors group of brain malignant encephalocele rate was 40.74% (11/27) and 53.57% (15/28) respectively, the difference was not obvious statistics significance, 2 level and 3 level of high-risk factors group of brain malignant eneephalocele rate was 53.57%(15/28) and 79.41%(27/34) respectively, the difference was obvious statistics significance. Conclusions The SBI's high-risk factors are the important factors affecting severe craniocerebral injury encephalocele. Taking adequate pre-operative assessment, carrying a comprehensive treatment on the patients combine with high-risk factors of SBI can greatly reduced the incidence of brain malignant encephalocele during surgical operation if the high-risk factors of SBI is controlled.

Objective The multiple malformation of upper eyelid,including the excessive width of fold line,sunken and/or multiple folded upper eyelid are the common complications after blepharoplasty.The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of orbital septum fat redistribution on correcting these deformities.Methods From September 2015 to September 2017,38 patients with multiple malformations of upper eyelid were treated.The incision of upper eyelid and the excessive skin was designed and resected.After completely relieving the scar adhesion zones,we set the lateral orbital septum fat free and transposed it to the inner side of orbital septum or superior border of tarsus with suturing fixation.Then we routinely completed the double eyelid operation.Results Thirty-eight patients with multiple malformations of upper eyelid were treated successfully.The patients were followed up for 6 months to one year,and the results were totally satisfactory.The operation was not performed again.Conclusions The orbital septum fat redistribution can successfully correct the multi ple malformation of upper eyelid.It should become a regular procedure in blepharoplasty.

Objective To analyze the clinical effects of arthroscopic en masse repair with footprint ending shift using double-row suture-bridge technique for delaminated rotator cuff tears under tension.Methods A total of 58 patients with delaminated rotator cuff tears under tension from August 2013 to August 2016 who underwent arthroscopic en masse repair using doublerow suture-bridge technique were retrospectively analyzed.There were 33 males and 25 females with a mean age of 53.0±7.8 years (range 39-74) with 24 patients left side involved and 34 right side.They were divided into 2 groups to receive en masse repair either footprint ending shift or on the footprint.There were 28 patients with footprint ending shift and 30 patients on the footprint.Clinical effects were evaluated by University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score,American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score,visual analogue scale (VAS),Constant-Murley score and shoulder range of motion at preoperatively and postoperatively.Results The average follow-up duration was 23.2±0.8 months (range 21-24).The two groups were compatible with no significant difference in age,gender,tear size,follow-up duration,preoperative function and range of motion of the shoulder joint (P＞0.05).At the last follow up,the UCLA,ASES,VAS,Constant-Murley scores and shoulder range of motion in the group footprint ending shift were respectively 32.4±2.5,12.8±0.9,1.0±1.1,93.4±5.6,158.3°±9.3°,58.9°±5.0° with significantly differences compared with preoperative scores (P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative value in the group on footprint were respectively 31.6±2.9,12.8±0.9,0.7 ± 1.2,91.3±7.1,156.1°± 10.7°,59.6°±4.6° with significantly differences compared with the preoperative scores (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The operation duration in the group footprint ending shift was 100.9±6.0 min,while that in the group on footprint was 106.6±6.1 min.There was significantly difference in the operation duration between two groups (t=-3.600,P=0.001).Conclusion Arthroscopic en masse repair using double-row suture-bridge technique can successfully treat delaminated rotator cuff tears under tension.Compared with arthroscopic en masse repair on footprint using double-row suture-bridge technique,the footprint ending shift is easier and time saving without significant difference in function of the shoulder joint and the range of motion in repair of delaminated rotator cuff tear under tension.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the expression of signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family 6 (SLAMF6) on peripheral blood CD8 +T cells and perforin and granzyme B and the clinical significance in patients with newly diagnosed severe aplastic anemia(SAA). Methods:The indicators of blood routine and bone marrow and peripheral blood samples of 32 newly diagnosed SAA patients admitted to Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2016 to June 2019 were collected for retrospective analysis. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B on samples CD8 +T cell before therapy and 6 months after therapy (11 cases received transplantation, 21 cases received immunosuppressive therapy [IST]). Spearman correlation analysis was performed to determine the association between clinical indicators and laboratory test results. The expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B was also detected in 10 healthy people (normal group) and 13 myelodysplastic syndromes/paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (MDS/PNH) patients (MDS/PNH group). Results:(1) At diagnosis: the expression of SLAMF6 was significantly lower in the SAA group than that in the normal group and the MDS/PNH group ([56.40±6.37]% vs [84.34±5.81]% and [82.24±4.98]% (both P<0.001]). The expression of perforin was significantly higher in the SAA group (32.73±8.46) than that in the normal control group (23.75%±5.10%), and the MDS/PNH group (26.12%±5.53%) (both P<0.05). The expression of granzyme B was also significantly higher in the SAA group (36.23%±7.94%) than that in the normal control group (21.67%±5.05%) and the MDS/PNH group (21.79%±5.10%) (both P<0.001). The expression of SLAMF6 was positively correlated with the hemoglobin ( r=0.804), and reticulocyte absolute values ( r=0.656) in peripheral blood, percentage of granulocytes ( r=0.643) and erythrocytes ( r=0.622) in bone marrow of SAA patients (all P<0.05). Expression of SLAMF6 was negatively correlated with perforin ( r=-0.792) and granzyme B ( r=-0.908) on CD8 +T cells in patients with SAA (both P<0.001). (2) After treatment: the expression of SLAMF6 in peripheral blood CD8 +T cells of 30 surviving patients was higher than pre-treatment ([79.19±12.69]% vs [56.40±6.37]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than pre-treatment level (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 11 transplanted patients was higher than before transplantation ([86.54±3.75]% vs [56.40±7.35]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than before transplantation (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 12 IST-respond patients was higher than that before treatment, while the perforin and granzyme B levels were lower than pre-treatment (all P<0.05). The post-treatment expressions of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B were similar as before treatment levels in 7 IST-unrespond patients (all P>0.05). Conclusion:SLAMF6 is significantly down-regulated on CD8 +T cells in newly diagnosed SAA, negatively correlated with the effective factors of CD8 +T cells, which might participate in the immune regulatory of CD8 +T cells as a negative regulatory factor in patients with SAA. The SLAMF6 is significantly up-regulated after hematopoietic recovery, while there is no significant change in treatment-unrespond patients, which could thus serve as an useful diagnostic and therapeutic index of patients with SAA.
