Objective To analyze the possible reasons of failed surgical treatment of acetabular fractures. Methods Various methods were used for positive patient identification, including according to Matta's X-ray assessment and Merle d'Aubigne & Postel hip function score of clinical standards for classification of acetabular fracture reduction surgery were not satisfied or not carried out a reduction and fixation,the clinical evaluation of hip joint as a "bad", occurrence of femoral head subluxation or dislocation, femoral head necrosis and other serious complications. From February 2000 to February 2008, 22 patients including 14 males and 8 females with an average age of 38.6 years (range, 18-72 years) were considered as failed cases. Results 45.5% of these cases were posterior wall fractures which were not given any fixation, 27.3% of them were posterior column fractures which were not fixed, 13.6% of them whose reduction and fixation of anterior wall fractures were not satisfied, and 9.1% of them were anterior column fractures which needed fixation. One case should take open reduction and iternal fixation instead of THA. The rate of misdiagnosis and mistaken diagnosis were 90% if only X-ray evaluation was made and this rate decreased to 8.3% if computed tomography was taken. The rate of wrong selection of operative approach was 100% in 10 cases of misdiagnosis, and which was 58.3% in 12 cases of correct diagnosis. In the 5 patients with correct diagnosis and selection of operative approach, the reasons of failed surgical treatment were due to imperfect surgical skills in 3 cases, and inappropriate fixation patterns in 2 cases. Conclusion The causes of the failure of surgical treatment for acetabular fracture might include preoperative missed diagnosis and misdiagnose, inappropriate approach, and an unreasonable internal fixation with unskillful technique.

Objective To explore the dose of template-assisted ¹⁹²Ir source hypofractionated stereotactic brachytherapy (SABT) for peripheral lung cancer. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the dose parameters of GTV and OARs of 28 peripheral lung cancer patients treated with template-assisted ¹⁹²Ir-source hypofractionated SABT, and compared the dose parameters between SABT with virtual SBRT. Results The D_mean and V₁₅₀ for the GTV in the SABT plan were significantly higher than those in the SBRT plan (all P < 0.01). For OARs, all dosimetric parameters in the SABT plan were significantly lower than those in the SBRT plan (all P < 0.01), except for the D_1000cm³ and D_1500cm³ for the lung (P > 0.05). Conclusion Template-assisted ¹⁹²Ir source hypofractionated SABT ensures high dose in the gross tumor volume and reduces the dose in organs at risk in the treatment of peripheral lung cancer.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transfected with recombinant rat platelet-derived growth factor BB (rrPDGF-BB) gene on the distraction osteogenesis.Methods:From October, 2019 to June, 2020, 48 batches of BMSCs were cultured from 48 young SD rats, 24 of which were transfected with rrPDGF-BB gene by lentivirus. Meanwhile, other 72 male adult SD rats were randomly selected to establish the right femoral distraction osteogenesis model. The rats were equally divided into 3 groups. PBS, BMSCs without intervention and BMSCs transfected with rrPDGF-BB gene were injected into the distraction space of each group of rats assigned as Blank group, Negative group and Experimental group, respectively. Results of the experiment were evaluated by means of imaging and immunohistochemistry. P<0.05 indicated a statistically significant difference. Results:The cultured BMSCs grew well. The expression of CD34(0.1%) and CD45(2.8%) in the third generation of BMSCs was low, and that of CD29 (95.1%) was high, which was consistent with the phenotype of BMSCs described in literatures. After transfection, the expression of green fluorescence gradually increased with the extension of transfection time, confirming the success of transfection. After 14 days, all rats reached the expected distance of distraction. The rats were observed at assigned time points in 2, 4 and 8 weeks. The photos of femur specimen showed that continuous callus could be seen in the experimental group, the hardness and colour were close to the normal bone tissue, and the activity of the distraction space was poor, which was lower than that of the blank group. X-ray examination showed that there were more new callus in the experimental group, and the bone marrow cavity was re-canalized earlier than that of the blank group; Micro-CT examination, in sagittal plane, showed that the distraction space of the experimental group healed well, the broken end was connected, and the recanalization of bone marrow cavity was earlier than that of the blank group; Micro-CT parameters of each group showed that trabecular thickness[(0.297±0.005) mm], trabecular number [(1.663±0.032) mm], bone volume fraction[(59.832±2.187)%] and bone mineral density[(0.586±0.014) g/cm 3] of the experimental group were the greatest, while trabecular separation[(0.399±0.051) mm] of the experimental group was the smallest. There was statistical difference between each group( P < 0.05); HE staining and VEGF immunohistochemistry showed that the vessels and chondrocytes formed earlier and were more in the experimental group than that in the blank group. In 8 weeks, the new callus joined into one piece under the microscope in the experimental group, and the bone marrow cavity was re-canalized with a large number of red blood cells. Conclusion:Studies have shown that BMSCs transfected with rrPDGF-BB gene can promote the formation of callus in the distraction area of rats, shorten the mineralisation time of new callus, and promote the maturation of new bone in the area of distraction osteogenesis.

Objective:To provide evidence for optimizing the screening strategy for gastric cancer (GC), we evaluated the risk of incident GC for individuals with different precancerous gastric lesions in a prospective cohort study.Methods:Based on the National Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Early Detection Program launched in Linqu, Shandong, a high-risk area of gastric cancer in China, we included a total of 14 087 subjects diagnosed with different gastric lesions stages by endoscopic screening from 2012 to 2018. Study subjects were prospectively followed up until December 31, 2019. The incidence of GC during the follow-up was ascertained by repeated endoscopic examinations, cancer, death registry reports, and active follow-up of study subjects and was confirmed by reviewing medical records extracted from the hospital information management system. The Poisson regression model was applied to calculate the relative risk ( RR) and 95% CI for GC occurrence among subjects with different gastric lesions. Results:Among 14 087 subjects with different gastric lesions as determined by their first endoscopic examination in 2012-2018, 7 608 (54.00%) had a global diagnosis of superficial gastritis (SG), 2 848 (20.22%) had chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), 3 103 (22.03%) had intestinal metaplasia (IM), and 520 (3.69%) had low-grade intestinal neoplasia (LGIN). During the follow-up, 109 subjects were diagnosed with GC, including 63 with high-grade intestinal neoplasia (HGIN) and 46 with invasive GC. Compared to subjects having normal gastric mucosa or SG, those with CAG ( RR=3.85, 95% CI: 2.04-7.28), IM ( RR=5.18, 95% CI: 2.79-9.60), and LGIN ( RR=19.08, 95% CI: 9.97-36.53) had significantly increased risk of progression to GC. Individuals with these gastric lesions had an elevated risk of developing HGIN and invasive GC. For subjects with LGIN, the RR was 22.96 (95% CI: 9.71-54.27) for developing HGIN and 14.64 (95% CI: 5.37-39.93) for developing invasive GC. Subgroup analyses found that all age group subjects with LGIN diagnosed during the initial endoscopic examination had a significantly increased risk of developing the GC. Conclusions:Our large-scale prospective study on a high-risk area of GC showed that most residents aged 40-69 years had gastric lesions of different stages. Subjects with more advanced gastric lesions had a significantly increased risk of progression to GC.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis B in Guangzhou from 2006 to 2018. Methods The data were retrieved from the National Infectious Disease Surveillance Information Report Management System. Descriptive methods were used to analyze and summarize the results. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis of classification data, and Joinpoint software was used to analyze the annual change percentage and trend. Results A total of 292 674 cases of hepatitis B were reported in Guangzhou from 2006 to 2018, and the annual average reported incidence was 182.2 per 100,000. Chronic hepatitis B was the main type, accounting for 89.9%. The incidence rate of males (241.6 / 105) was higher than that of females (117.9 / 105), with a ratio of 2.0:1. During the period from 2006-2018, the reported incidence of hepatitis B in Guangzhou first increased, reached the highest in 2008, and then decreased year by year. There was no significant difference in the number of HBV cases among different months. The average onset age of hepatitis B reported in Guangzhou was 39.3 years old, and the average onset age increased year by year from 2006 to 2018. Conclusion The incidence rate of hepatitis B in Guangzhou has decreased since 2008, but it was still higher than the national average incidence rate. The hepatitis B infection in Guangzhou remains a big issue. It is suggested to further strengthen the prevention and control of hepatitis B in adults by maintaining a national immunization program for children, thereby reducing the epidemiological level of hepatitis B in Guangzhou.
