1.Pathological changes and tissue repair methods of hallux valgus
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(50):9958-9961
The pathological changes of hallux valgus are diversity, including adduct of metatarsus primus, increasing of the intermetatarsal angle between the first and second metatarsal bones, increasing of hallux valgus angle, dislocation of sesamoides, lost of soft tissue balancing. X-ray is the most important method to measure the pathological changes of hallux valgus. The multiformity of hallus valgus pathological changes makes manner of repairing variety. The main methods include operation on soft tissue, osseous surgery, fusion of joint and figuration of joints. The selection of the surgical methods should be individualization according to the idiographic pathological changes of hallux valgus patients.
2.Basic and clinical research in sustained-release drug delivery systems for the treatment of malignant bone tumor
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(45):-
Since local chemotherapy and sustained release chemotherapy have been put forward, a number of sustained-release drug delivery systems have been developed with regard to the releasing effect in vitro and in vivo, as well as the lethal effect on the tumor cells. This study reviews the merit of sustained release chemotherapy and sustained release drug delivery system of malignant bone tumor both in vitro and in vivo.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the quality of life in patients who underwent laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy for chronic cholecystolithiasis.
METHODSA prospective survey was made on 25 patients receiving laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC group) and 26 patients receiving open cholecystectomy (OC group). The quality of life was measured with the gastrointestinal quality of life index (GLQI) preoperatively, and at 2, 5, 10 and 16 weeks after the operation.
RESULTSThe mean preoperative GLQI scores of all dimensions of the quality of life were 112.5 and 110.3 in the LC and OC groups respectively. In the LC group, the quality of life was not considerably reduced at 2 weeks after operation, with a mean GLQI score of 110. There was a significant improvement both in total mean score and in the aspects of symptomatology, emotional and physiological status from 5 to 16 weeks after LC operation. In the OC group, the GLQI score reduced to 102.0 at 2 weeks after surgery (P < 0.05). There were significant reductions in the aspects of symptomatology, physiological and social status as well. The GLQI scores reached to the preoperative level of 115.6 at 10 weeks after the operation (P > 0.05). The patients experienced significant improvements of GLQI at 16 weeks after OC operation (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). The LC group showed better GLQI scores than did the OC group for up to 10 weeks postoperatively (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSLC is betler or more rapidly than OC is improving the quality of life postoperatively. The assessment of the quality of life is valuable for measuring the outcome of surgical treatment.

Bipolar androgen therapy (BAT), as a new therapy, can effectively reduce the serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level of a part of patients with castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), delay tumor progression, improve their quality of life and restore the sensitivity to drug therapy. This paper will review the background, possible mechanism, clinical research progress and development prospect of BAT.

BACKGROUND:For the patients who have undergone unicompartmental knee arthroplasty,although the surgical effect is clear,there is still a lack of effective quantitative evaluation tools,and it is necessary to further explore the early postoperative gait and stability changes. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the changes in gait and stability before and after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. METHODS:From May 2021 to May 2022,30 patients aged(63.80±9.31)years who planned to perform unilateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in the Department of Joint Surgery,Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were selected as the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty group.15 healthy elderly patients aged(61.28±8.60)years without a history of hip and knee pain and hip and knee joint dysfunction were recruited as the control group.Hospital for special surgery scores,stability parameters(center of pressure path length,95%confidence ellipse area)and gait parameters(pace,stride length,stride frequency,gait cycle,and the proportion of single support period)were recorded and compared in the control group and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty group before operation,1 and 3 months after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no significant difference in the step frequency between the patients 1 month after operation and those before operation in the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty group(P>0.05).The stability of 1 month after operation was worse than that before operation,and other parameters of 1 month after operation were better than those before operation,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)Hospital for special surgery score,gait and stability parameters at 3 months after operation were better than those before operation(P<0.05).(3)Compared with the control group,the pace,stride length,stride frequency,and the proportion of single support period of the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty group were significantly lower before and 3 months after operation.Center of pressure path length,95%confidence ellipse area and gait cycle were greater in the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty group than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).(4)It is indicated that gait analysis is an effective means to quantitatively evaluate the rehabilitation status after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.The early gait recovery after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is good,but the gait frequency improvement is not obvious and the stability is poor 1 month after the operation.
