Objective To study the role of vascular resection in the radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods One hundred and forty-two cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) data during July 2009 and December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively .After sufficient preoperative management including relieving jaundice , three dimensional assessments were evaluated and then surgical planning was designed. Results One hundred and forty-two cases underwent surgery after adequate preoperative preparation and evaluation, of whom 16 patients had vascular resection. Portal vein resection was performed in 11 cases, in which the portal vein wedge excision was performed in 4 cases, the portal vein anastomosis in 6 cases, and right anterior portal vein resection and reconstruction was performed in 1 case. Because of tumor invasion in the right hepatic artery, 4 patients underwent right hepatic artery resection and saphenous vein reconstruction, and 1 patient underwent right hepatic artery anastomosis. Postoperative complications were as follows:bile leakage in 1 case, no abdominal bleeding and abdominal infection, and no vascular thrombosis-related complications, and the overall complication rate was 1/16. There was no perioperative death . The follow-up results was as follows: 1 patient died 3 months after surgery, 1 died of liver metastasis after 9 months, 2 cases were lost to follow up, and the rest patients were still followed up. Conclusions Vascular resection for hilar cholangiocarcinoma helps to improve tumor resection rate and prognosis in large medical centers. With the use of three dimensional assessment, preoperative management and reasonable surgical strategy can reduce postoperative complications and ensure safety for hilar cholangiocarcinoma resection.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the axillary approach in the treatment of scapular glenoid fracture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed of the 12 patients who had been treated for scapular glenoid fracture from November 2019 to April 2021 at Department of Upper Limb Orthopaedics, Zhengzhou Orthopaedic Hospital. They were 4 males and 8 females, aged from 30 to 75 years (mean, 53.5 years). According to the Ideberg classification, there were 2 cases of type Ⅰa, 9 cases of type Ⅱ and one case of type Ⅴa. All cases were treated through the axillary approach. Two patients complicated with anterior shoulder dislocation were treated with manual reduction under anesthesia before operation and the other 10 cases with special plate fixation through the axillary approach. The 3 patients complicated with fracture of greater tuberosity were fixated with a special plate through the lateral shoulder split deltoid approach. Constant-Murley score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Hawkins grading were used at the last follow-up to evaluate shoulder function, pain and stability after operation.Results:All patients were followed up for 9 to 20 months (mean, 14.4 months). The operation time ranged from 55 to 110 min (mean, 76.3 min), intraoperative bleeding from 60 to 160 mL (mean, 103.8 mL), and hospital stay from 8 to 14 d (mean, 11.1 d). All incisions healed primarily and all scapular glenoid fractures got united 6 months after operation. The last follow-up showed no shoulder instability, neurovascular injury or internal fixation failure. At the last follow-up, the range of motion of the shoulder was 159.2°±26.1° in forward bending, 156.7°±29.6° in abduction, 48.3°± 15.3° in external rotation (neutral position), and 73.3°±12.3° in internal rotation (neutral position), and the Constant-Murley score was (94.0±5.3) points. The range of motion of the shoulder and Constant-Murley score were significantly improved compared with those before operation (10.8°±11.6°, 7.5°±11.4°, 5.8°±10.0°, 42.5°±16.0° and 4.9±4.0, respectively) (all P<0.05). The VAS score was 0 in 11 patients and 2 in one patient at the last follow-up. Conclusion:The axillary approach is feasible for the treatment of scapular glenoid fracture, because it is hidden and less invasive, leading to good clinical outcomes.

Objective:To compare proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) and Multiloc intramedullary nail in the treatment of proximal humerus fracture-anterior dislocation.Methods:A retrospective study was performed to analyze the data of 33 patients with proximal humerus fracture-anterior dislocation who had been treated by open reduction and internal fixation from June 2015 to April 2021 at Department of Upper Limbs, Zhengzhou Orthopaedic Hospital. According to methods of internal fixation, the patients were divided into an extramedullary group and an intramedullary group. In the extramedullary group of 18 cases subjected to internal fixation with PHILOS, there were 8 males and 10 females with an age of (53.3 ± 10.6) years, and 1 2-part fracture, 15 3-part fractures and 2 4-part fractures by the Neer classification. In the intramedullary group of 15 cases subjected to internal fixation with Multiloc intramedullary nail, there were 8 males and 7 females with an age of (51.5 ± 11.2) years, and 14 3-part fractures and 1 4-part fracture by the Neer classification. The 2 groups were compared in terms of incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and visual analog scale (VAS), range of shoulder motion, and Constant-Murley score at postoperative 12 months.Results:The 2 groups were comparable due to insignificant differences in their preoperative general data ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (20.8 ± 4.7) months. The incision length in the intramedullary group [(11.6 ± 1.7) cm] was significantly shorter than that in the extramedullary group [(17.6 ± 2.0) cm], and the intraoperative blood loss in the former [(106.7 ± 34.4) mL] was significantly lower than that in the latter [(151.7 ± 45.7) mL] ( P<0.05). The VAS scores at 1 week and 1 month after surgery [2.0 (2.0, 3.0) and 0.0 (0.0, 1.0) respectively] in the intramedullary group were significantly lower than those in the extramedullary group [3.0 (3.0, 3.3) and 1.0 (0.0, 1.3) respectively] ( P<0.05). The external rotation of the shoulder at the last follow-up in the intramedullary group (65.3° ± 15.5°) was significantly larger than that in the extramedullary group (50.6° ± 13.9°) ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in operation time, incidence of postoperative complications, VAS score at 12 months after operation, Constant-Murley score or range of shoulder motion at the last follow-up between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In the treatment of proximal humerus fracture-anterior dislocation, open reduction and internal fixation with both PHILOS and Multiloc intramedullary nail can result in a favorable prognosis when the fracture-dislocation is well reduced and fixated. However, the Multiloc intramedullary nail may lead to better early pain relief, less surgical invasion, and better functional recovery of the external rotation of the shoulder.

At present, major depressive disorder (MDD) is highly prevalent with advanced neurological disorders as the main pathological manifestations. As the physiological function bearer of higher neural activity, gray matter has become the focus of MDD treatment. However, recent research has shown that white matter and gray matter are independent of each other in the central nervous system (CNS), and their functions are integrated and linked. In addition to gray matter damage, white matter damage is also the core driving event of disease progression and determines the outcome of MDD. At the treatment level, the current drug treatment of MDD mainly focuses on gray matter repair, while ignoring the importance of white matter integrity for the treatment of the disease, which has become the weakness of the current treatment of MDD. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has good application potential in white matter repair. This paper elaborated on the following three aspects. ① The roles of white matter damage in the occurrence and development of MDD were summarized. ② The key link of white matter repair in MDD was elaborated with microglia microenvironment regulation as the entry point. ③ The application value of TCM in white matter repair in MDD was analyzed. This review aims to highlight the importance of white matter integrity in the treatment of MDD and is expected to expand the understanding dimension of the activity of related Chinese medicines in MDD from the perspective of white matter repair and analyze its potential application value.
