Objective:To compare the clinical efficacies of arthroscopic acromioplasty combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and acromioplasty alone in the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 30 patients with SAIS. The patients, who were admitted to the General Hospital of Chinese PLA Eastern Theater Command from January 2020 to December 2021, included 9 males and 21 females, with the age range of 24-48 years [(34.3±9.8)years]. There were 19 left shoulders and 11 right shoulders. All the patients underwent arthroscopic acromioplasty. A total of 15 patients were injected with 4 ml of PRP after surgery (acromioplasty+PRP group), while the remaining 15 patients received nothing (acromioplasty group). Visual analogue score (VAS), Constant-Murley score, and active forward flexion, abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation of the shoulder joint were compared between the two groups before and at 6 weeks, 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. The postoperative complications were also observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 3-12 months [(9.0±2.6)months]. There was no significant difference in VAS or Constant-Murley score between the two groups before surgery, at 3 months after surgery, and at the last follow-up (all P>0.05). At 6 weeks after surgery, the VAS and Constant-Murley score were (1.5±0.5)points and (80.3±6.2)points in the acromioplasty+PRP group, which was lower or higher than those in the acromioplasty group [(2.5±0.7)points, (58.1±7.6)points] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The VAS showed gradual decrease and the Constant-Murley score showed gradual increase in both groups after surgery ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There were no significant differences in active forward flexion, abduction, or internal rotation of the shoulder joint between the two groups before surgery, at 3 months after surgery, and at the last follow-up (all P>0.05). At 6 weeks after surgery, the active forward flexion, abduction and internal rotation of the shoulder joint were (158.1±26.3)°, (146.2±27.4)° and (54.2±11.8)° in the acromioplasty+PRP group, respectively, which were significantly larger than those in the acromioplasty group [(128.8±29.6)°, (111.0±28.6)°, (35.7±12.3)°] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The active forward flexion, abduction and rotation of the shoulder joint were gradually improved in both groups after surgery ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no significant difference in the active external rotation of the shoulder joint between the two groups at different time points (all P>0.05). No complications such as infection or acromion fracture appeared in the acromioplasty+PRP group; only one patient in the acromioplasty group had delayed wound healing, which was healed by dressing change. Conclusion:Compared with acromioplasty alone, acromioplasty combined with PRP can alleviate pain at early stage, promote shoulder function recovery, improve joint active range of motion, and reduce the incidence of acromioplasty.

Objective:To understand the clinical characteristics of pregnant women infected with dengue virus (DENV) in Ruili City, Yunnan Province, so as to provide basis for formulating effective diagnosis and treatment protocol of dengue fever in pregnant women.Methods:A total of 18 pregnant women infected with DENV hospitalized in Ruili People's Hospital in 2017 and 2018 were selected as observation group, and 18 non-pregnant women infected with DENV were selected as control group according to the age range of the observation group, and epidemiological and clinical data of patients in the two groups were retrospectively collected. Epidemiological characteristics, clinical symptoms and laboratory biochemical indexes of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results:There were no significant differences ( t = - 0.032, 0.495, P > 0.05) in age [(27.9 ± 5.3) vs (27.9 ± 5.1) years old] and hospitalization stay [(6.8 ± 1.6) vs (6.6 ± 2.0) d] between the observation group and control group. One pregnant woman in observation group had early pregnancy abortion. Patients of both groups had fever in 18 cases (100.0%), headache, muscle aches, and chills in 14 cases (77.8%), anorexia in 15 cases (83.3%), and nausea and vomiting in 5 cases (27.8%); fatigue in 14 cases (77.8%) and 16 cases (88.9%), respectively; there was 1 case of rash in observation group (5.6%), and no rash in control group. There were no significant differences in the above mentioned clinical symptoms distribution between the two groups ( P > 0.05). On the first day of admission, the reduction proportions in red blood cells [61.1% (11/18) vs 5.6% (1/18)], hemoglobin [50.0% (9/18) vs 16.7% (3/18)], and hematocrit [61.1% (11/18) vs 16.7% (3/18)] in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P < 0.05); on the fifth day of admission, the reduction proportions in hemoglobin [33.3% (6/18) vs 5.6% (1/18)] and hematocrit [33.3% (6/18) vs 5.6% (1/18)] in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The red blood cells, hemoglobin and hematocrit of pregnant women infected with DENV are significantly reduced, and there is a risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy. It is suggested that relevant departments should strengthen the training of medical staff to diagnose and treat pregnant women infected with DENV early.
