BACKGROUND:Panax notoginseng saponins promotes bone repair by improving vascular proliferation. Therefore, the scaffolds carrying panax notoginseng saponins were supposed to be used to improve bone repair at the bone defect region. However, the biocompatibility of scaffolds remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the biocompatibility of panax notoginseng saponins-hydroxyapatite/chitosan scaffolds.
METHODS:A new bone repair scaffold has been generated by thoroughly mixtures of 0, 0.1, 1, 10 mg panax notoginseng saponins and chitosan/hydroxyapatite using in-situ composite technique and freeze-drying technique. Morphology and mechanical property of the scaffold were observed under a scanning electron microscope. (1) Cel proliferation test:rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s of passage 3 were cultured in four kinds of drug loaded hydroxyapatite/chitosan composite material leaching liquor. Cel s normal y cultured were considered as controls. 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl) 2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide was used to measure absorbance value of cel s in each group. (2) Hemolysis test:Rabbit anticoagulated blood was added with four kinds of drug loaded hydroxyapatite/chitosan composite material leaching liquor. Absorbance values were measured using a microplate reader in each group. (3) Pyrogen test:The four kinds of drug loaded hydroxyapatite/chitosan composite material leaching liquor and saline were respectively injected into ear vein of rabbits, and the increase of rabbit body temperature was detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Drug loaded hydroxyapatite/chitosan composite material contained three dimensional porous structure of 110μm in diameter. Drug loading process of panax notoginseng saponins did not significantly affect the porosity, pore size and density of the composite material, but decreased its breaking strength and elastic modulus. The larger amount of drug loading showed a more obvious effect. Simple hydroxyapatite/chitosan composite material had good cel ular compatibility. The composite material after drug loading obviously suppressed cel proliferation, and the larger amount of drug loading showed a more obvious effect. The composite material had good blood compatibility before and after drug loading. The composite material had good pyrogen effects before and after drug loading, but accorded with acceptable quality level of pyrogen test.

Based on repeated experiments as well as continuous researching and improving, an efficient scheme to measure velocity and displacement of the coxa and knee movements based on video image processing technique is presented in this paper. The scheme performed precise and real-time quantitative measurements of 2D velocity or displacement of the coxa and knee using a video camera mounted on one side of the healing and training beds. The beds were based on simplified pinhole projection model. In addition, we used a special-designed auxiliary calibration target, composed by 24 circle points uniformly located on two concentric circles and two straight rods which can rotate freely along the concentric center within the vertical plane, to do the measurements. Experiments carried out in our laboratory showed that the proposed scheme could basically satisfy the requirements about precision and processing speed of such kind of system, and would be very suitable to be applied to smart evaluation/training and healing system for muscles/balance function disability as an advanced and intuitional helping method.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological difference and prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinomas including mutinous, Signet-ring cell, papillary and tubular carcinomas. Methods Two thousand and eighty-nine patients with colorectal cancer underwent colorectal operation between August 1994 and April 2007. The clinicopathological characteristics of mucinous adenocarcinoma (n=144), signet-ring cell carcinoma (n=25), papillary and tubular carcinomas (n= 1837) were compared expect of other types of cancer (n = 83). The single factor and Logistic regression methods were used to analyze the clinicopathological parameters that influence the prognosis of colorectal cancer such as age, location of the tumor, staging, peritoneum and pathological typing. The survival rates of patients with above three types of adenocareinomas were analyzed. Results The mean age of onset was lowest in patients with mutinous adenocarcinomas [(54. 20 ± 16.25) years] compared with that in patients with signet-ring cell cancer [(40.43 ± 12.88)years] or papillary and tubular carcinomas [(58. 73 ±13.62)]. There were significant differences in gender, size and location of the tumor, TNM staging, peritoneal metastasis, lymph node involvement and adjacent organ invasion among three groups (all P values <0.05). The single factor and Logistic regression analysis revealed that both mucinous adenocarcinoma and signet-ring cell carcinoma were risk factors ot prognosis. The patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma or signet-ring cell tumor were poor in long-term overall survival in comparison with patients with papillary and tubular carcinoma (P<0. 001). Conclusions The colorectal mucinous and signet-ring cell adenocarcinomas are risk factors for prognosis of colorectal cancer, which imply the poor outcome.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics and related risk factors of femoral supracondylar fractures combined with meniscus and ligament injuries.Methods:A retrospective case series analysis was performed on clinical data of 100 patients with femoral supracondylar fractures combined with ipsilateral meniscal and?ligamentous knee?injuries?admitted to Tianjin Hospital from January 2016 to December 2020. There were 55 males and 45 females，with age of 22-78 years［（38.5 ± 3.3）years］. Causes of injury included traffic accidents in 45 patients，falls in 45 and others in 10. According to AO classification，type A1 was in 56 patients，A2 in 33 and A3 in 11. Sixty of these patients presented fractures on the left side and forty on the right side. All patients accepted MRI examination to estimate meniscal and ligamentous knee injuries concerning its prevalence，locations and severity. Locations of injury included the medial meniscus（MM），lateral meniscus（LM），anterior cruciate ligament（ACL），posterior cruciate ligament（PCL），medial collateral ligament（MCL）and lateral collateral ligament（LCL）. Meniscal knee injuries were measured using Stoller four-level method，and ligamentous knee injuries by Ruiz three-level method. The patients were subdivided based on age，sex，causes of injury，injury side and fracture AO classification to measure the prevalence of meniscal and?ligamentous injuries，and to identify the factors related to injuries using logistic regression analysis.Results:Seventy-six patients（76.0%）were complicated with meniscal or ligamentous injuries in 151 different parts. Twenty-nine patients（29.0%）had both meniscal and ligamentous injuries. Fifty-six patients had meniscal injuries，including 11 with bilateral meniscus injuries. MM injuries were noted in 32 patients（32.0%），with severity of grade Ⅰ in 19 patients，grade Ⅱ in 12 and grade Ⅲ in 1. LM injuries were found in 35 patients（35.0%），with severity of grade Ⅰ in 19 patients，grade Ⅱ in 14 and grade Ⅲ in 2. Forty-nine patients had ligamentous injuries，among which 22 patients were with single ligamentous injuries，19 with double ligamentous injuries and 8 with triple ligamentous injuries. ACL injuries were found in 33 patients（33.0%），with severity of grade Ⅰ in 22 patients，grade Ⅱ in 10 and grade Ⅲ in 1. PCL injuries occurred in 4 patients（4.0%），with severity of grade Ⅰ in 3 patients and grade Ⅱ in 1. MCL injuries occurred in 28 patients（28.0%），with severity of grade Ⅰ in 18 patients，grade Ⅱ in 9 and grade Ⅲ in 1. LCL injuries occurred in 19 patients，with severity of grade Ⅰ in 12 patients，grade Ⅱ in 5 and grade Ⅲ in 2. There were significant differences in prevalence of meniscal injuries among subgroups of different gender，causes of injury and fracture types（ P < 0.05）.Logistic regression analysis suggested that gender and fracture types showed significant correlation with meniscal injuries，especially factors of males（ P < 0.05）and type A3 fractures（ P < 0.01）. There were significant differences in prevalence of ligamentous injuries among subgroups of different causes of injury and fracture types（ P < 0.05）. Logistic regression analysis showed that causes of injury and fracture types were significantly related to ligamentous injuries，especially factors of traffic accidents（ P < 0.01）and type A3 fractures（ P < 0.01）. Conclusions:Ipsilateral meniscal or ligamentous knee injuries have a high incidence in patients with supracondylar femoral fractures. There exist multiple-site injuries，particularly in ligamentous injuries. Males，type A3 fractures and traffic injuries are risk factors，which needs to be paid much attention in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To measure the anatomical parameters of three-dimensional available space of S 1 and S 2 vestibules on Chinese adults by imaging methods, and discuss their clinical values. Methods:Data of 200 cases of pelvic CT with complete posterior ring were collected from January 2015 to January 2021, included 110 males and 90 females. The ages ranged from 21 to 63 years (average, 40.72±10.70 years). Then the parameters of both the left vestibule and the right vestibule of S 1 and S 2 such as vestibular width, vestibular height and vestibular area were measured by the three-dimensional CT reconstructions. Statistical analyses were performed among the groups which were classified according to the gender, side of vestibule to compare the difference of vestibular morphological characteristics among different groups. Results:The average vestibular area of S 1 was 425.71± 45.07 mm 2 (range, 296.3-604.4 mm 2), which was 449.80±28.62 mm 2 (range, 338.3-604.4 mm 2) in males and 388.25±34.01 mm 2 (range, 296.3-498.4 mm 2) in females. The average vestibular width was 28.52±4.34 mm (range, 17.1-36.3 mm), 31.77±2.33 mm (range, 22.46-36.30 mm) in males and 24.55±2.55 mm (range, 17.1-26.1 mm) in females. The mean vestibular height was 21.05±2.29 mm (range, 17.5-32.0 mm), with 21.34±2.37 mm (range, 18.5-32.0 mm) of men and 20.69±1.60 mm (range, 17.5-25.6 mm) of women. The mean S 2 vestibular area was 230.19±35.57 mm 2 (range, 142.5-297.3 mm 2), which was 258.91±28.04 mm 2 (range, 218.3-297.3 mm 2) in males and 205.61±24.12 mm 2 (range, 142.5-258.6 mm 2) in females. The average vestibular width was 15.94±1.72 mm (range, 12.4-20.3 mm), 16.51±1.59 mm (range, 14.4-20.3 mm) in male and 15.25±1.63 mm (range, 12.4-18.1 mm) in female. The mean vestibular height was 14.30±1.20 mm (range, 12.9-17.8 mm), 15.49±1.46 mm (range, 13.6-17.8 mm) in males and 13.73±0.93 mm (range, 12.9-16.1 mm) in females. There were significant differences in vestibular width, height and area between S 1 and S 2 (vestibular width t=3.934, P< 0.001; vestibular height t=3.692, P< 0.001; vestibular area t=4.816, P< 0.001). There were significant differences in S 1 vestibular width, S 1 vestibular height, S 1 and S 2 vestibular area between male groups and female groups (S 1 vestibular width: t=2.969, P=0.003; S 1 vestibular height: t=0.316, P=0.049; S 1 vestibular area: t=1.975, P=0.049; S 2 vestibular area: t=2.023, P=0.044). While there was no significant difference in S 2 vestibular width and height between the two gender groups. There were significant differences in S 1 and S 2 vestibular width, height and area between male and female groups ( P < 0.001). There were no significant difference in parameters between the left and right values of the same vestibular site. Conclusion:The parameters of S 1 sacral vestibule are larger than that of S 2. It implies that S 1 was more feasible to insert iliosacral screws than S 2; lesser diameter iliosacral screws should be selected to insert into S 2. The female S 1 vestibule is smaller than the male, so the iliosacral screws placement has more stringent requirements on the selection of the insertion point and the direction of the screw. And the surgeon can utilize the intact contralateral sacral vestibule as the damaged side to proceed the iliosacral screw inserted simulation.

Objective:To discuss the clinical value of magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) on diagnosis and treatment of lumbosacral nerve injury associated with sacral fractures and analyze the characters of nerve injury which was caused by sacral fractures.Methods:The clinical data of 40 patients who had lumbosacral nerve injury associated with sacral fractures and accepted treatment in Tianjin hospital from August 2018 to December 2020 were collected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Twenty-four patients had unilateral sacral fractures (Tile C1) which included 16 Denis II type fractures and 8 Denis III type fractures. Sixteen patients had bilateral sacral fractures which were all Tile C3, U shaped and Denis II type sacral fractures. All patients had symptoms or signs of lumbosacral nerve injury, and accepted contrast-enhanced three-dimensional magnetic resonance neurography (CE-3D MRN) to diagnose the injury part and severity degree. The L 5-S 4 nerves were separated to three parts based on injured side and intraspinal type (IS), intraforaminal type (IF) and extraforaminal type (EF) location, and were judged the mild, medium or severe degree of nerve injury severity. Overall and pairwise Chi-square test was performed on the number of nerve injuries. Eleven patients accepted the operation of nerve dissection and exploration. The nerve injury part and severity were recorded under direct vision, and were statistically analyzed with CE-3D MRN outcome. Results:The outcome of 239 lumbosacral nerve injuries which had different part and severity were found by MRN, and all combined with sacral fractures of the same side. The nerves which ranked from largest to fewest according to injured numbers were L 5, S 1, S 2, S 3 and S 4. The statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences of injured nerve numbers except between S 1 and S 2, S 3 and S 4, and there were no significant difference of nerve injury part and severity degree between the direct visual judgement intraoperatively and preoperative CE-3D MRN examination. Conclusion:MRN can reveal the part and severity degree of lumbosacral nerve injury associated with sacral fracture clearly and accurately, which has important clinical value and should become the preferred examination of such injuries. The lumbosacral nerve injury has the most frequent features of S 1 and S 2, followed by L 5, and the least in S 3 and S 4.

The application of big data and artificial intelligence technology in the medical field is key to hospital informatization. In October 2018, a tertiary hospital launched a clinical intelligent application platform. The platform took AI assistant as the carrier of intelligent application, supported the role expansion, function expansion and connotation expansion of intelligent application, and layed the foundation for the construction of clinical intelligence. As of July 2022, the platform had been embedded into the outpatient, emergency and inpatient business systems with the help of AI assistant, realizing such intelligent applications as auxiliary diagnosis, auxiliary treatment, risk warning, AI medical record quality control, research entry group and infectious disease management, as well as enriching the connotation of such specialty applications as orthopedics and ear, nose and throat. The platform satisfied the integration and integration of hospital information construction and provided convenient and effective intelligent auxiliary tools for clinical use.

As medical record management is key to hospital management, a hospital introduced paperless practice of automatic archiving in the following practices. Clarification and identification of the scope of business system transformation, establishment of an architecture integrating various business systems, integration platform, hospital data center, archiving system and certification authority, creation of three automatic archiving processes: initial archiving, late return archiving and modification archiving, for refined management of the review and tracking of archived medical records. Thanks to this paperless management, the automatic archiving rate was as high as 95.95%for medical records, 96.47%for laboratory reports and 99.58%for medical orders respectively. A full-process and whole-cycle informationized closed loop management was achieved for the collection, archiving, review and utilization of medical records, substantially upgrading hospital informationization and medical record management.
