Objective:To investigate the biomechanical characteristics and clinical outcomes of arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction for massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (MIRCT) using the long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) with tenotomizing its distally or not (the "Chinese way" ).Methods:Eight fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were used to create a MIRCT model by detaching the footprints of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons on the greater tuberosity. LHBT autograft was transferred and securely fixed onto the footprint of supraspinatus tendon for superior capsular reconstruction. Further, all cadaveric specimens were assigned to the tenotomy group or reservation group (4 cadaveric specimens in each group) according to whether the distal part of LHBT was tentomized or not. Biomechanical tests were conducted to observe the stiffness, ultimate load of fixed LHBT and to measure the length between LHBT tear site and its insertion on the superior labrum. A total of 41 patients with MIRCT who underwent arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction using LHBT autograft between July 2016 and December 2018 were enrolled in the study. There were 17 males and 24 females, aged from 46 to 76 years (62.6±7.3 years). All patients were assigned to the tenotomy group (23 cases) or reservation group (18 cases) according to whether the distal part of LHBT was tentomized or not. The visual analogue scale (VAS), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant-Murley score and Fudan University Shoulder Score (FUSS) were used to evaluate the clinical outcomes. The range of motion (ROM) of shoulder was recorded before and after operation. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess the structural integrity of reconstructed tissue at 12 months after operation (refers to the failure of the transposed LHBT, which may be accompanied by a retear of partial repaired supraspinatus tendon).Results:Biomechanical research showed that the stiffness, ultimate load of fixed LHBT and the length between LHBT tear site and its insertion on the superior labrum in the reservation group (54.0±6.6 N/mm, 141.8±15.9 N, 93.3±12.4 mm, respectively) were significantly higher than those in the tenotomy group (25.7±4.2 N/mm, 80.8±8.0 N, 47.4±2.0 mm, respectively) ( P<0.05). All patients were followed up for 12-18 months (14.5±1.8 months) without significant complications and adverse reactions. No matter the distal part of LHBT was tentomized or not, the ROM and clinical scores (VAS score, UCLA score, Constant-Murley score, ASES score and FUSS) of patients improved significantly at 1 year follow-up than that before operation ( P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences between the reservation group and tenotomy group in terms of postoperative ROM [flexion, abduction, external rotation at side, internal rotation (vertebral level) were 144.3°±15.5° vs. 148.0°±10.3°, 145.1°±14.1° vs. 142.3°±11.2°, 67.3°±14.4° vs. 62.7°±11.7°, 8.3±2.1 vs. 7.8±2.5, respectively], VAS scores (2.3±1.6 vs.1.5±1.2), functional scores (Constant-Murley score, UCLA score, ASES score and FUSS were 88.2±11.4 vs. 85.6±9.6, 29.3±2.8 vs. 31.4±3.5, 86.8±11.8 vs. 82.6±9.2, 92.1±10.1 vs. 88.3±8.2, respectively) and structural failures (35.2% vs. 30.0%, P>0.05). Conclusion:Arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction using LHBT with reserving its distal part could achieve higher mechanics strength. However, the short-term follow-up showed that tenotomizing the distal part of LHBT exerted no obvious influence on postoperative function and structural integrity.

Objective To investigate the impacts of sirolimus (SRL)on the survival time of graft and the differentiation and proliferation of regulatory T cell (Treg ) of spleen in mouse heterotopic heart transplantation model. Methods Male BALB /c → C57BL/6 mice cervical heterotopic heart transplantation model was established by Cuff method. The mice were divided into 3 groups randomly with 10 mice in each group. The control group received no treatment of special medicine after operation. Mice in SRL group were gavaged with SRL 10 mg/(kg·d)at 1-14 d after operation. Mice in ciclosporin (CsA)group were gavaged with CsA 30 mg/(kg·d) at 1-14 d after operation. The survival time of cardiac grafts were recorded. The spleen was procured after asystole of cardiac graft or 14 d after operation. Mononuclear cells were isolated and the proportion of CD4 +CD25 +Treg in CD4 +T cell (CD4 +CD25 +Treg%)were detected by flow cytometry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)was used to examine the expression of Foxp3 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA ) semi-quantitatively. Results Compared with the control group,the survival time of cardiac grafts prolonged significantly in SRL and CsA group (all in P <0.01 ),but no significant difference was observed between SRL and CsA group (P>0.05 ). Compared with the control group,CD4 +CD25 +Treg% significantly decreased in the spleen of CsA group and significantly increased in SRL group (all in P<0.01 ). And significant difference was observed between SRL and CsA group (P<0.01). Expression of Foxp3 mRNA of T lymphocyte in the spleen of SRL group was significantly higher than those in control and CsA group (P<0.01). And expression of Foxp3 mRNA in control group was significantly higher than that in CsA group (P<0.01 ). Conclusions In mouse heart transplantation model,SRL can prolong the survival time of graft and promote the proliferation and growth of CD4 +CD25 +Treg to facilitate the establishment of immune tolerance.

Objective:To evaluate the status of T, B and NK lymphocytes in peripheral blood of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection and low-level viremia after nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment and to provide ideas for solving low-level viremia.Methods:This retrospective study involved 344 patients with chronic HBV infection who had been treated with NAs. They were divided into two groups: low-level viremia group (LLV group) and complete virological response group (CVR group). Clinical data including basic information, biochemistry and coagulation test results, HBV DNA, peripheral blood lymphocyte counts, PD1 and CD28 expression by T lymphocytes, and perforin and granzyme B expression by NK lymphocytes were collected and compared between the two groups. Propensity matching analysis was performed to verify the accuracy of the results.Results:Among the 344 cases, 162 were in the LLV group and 182 in the CVR group. There were no significant differences in disease diagnosis, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or albumin (ALB) level between the two groups ( P>0.05), but the differences in gender and age were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The differences in the counts and percentages of peripheral blood CD3 +, CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocyte and CD4 + /CD8 + ratios between the two groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05), but the expression of PD1 and CD28 by peripheral blood CD3 +, CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes was higher in the LLV group than in the CVR group ( P<0.05). The count of peripheral blood CD19 + B lymphocytes in the LLV group was higher than that in the CVR group ( P>0.05), and the percentage of peripheral blood CD19 + B lymphocytes was also higher in the LLV group ( P<0.05). The count of peripheral blood CD16 + CD56 + NK lymphocytes and the expression of perforin in the LLV group were lower than those in the CVR group ( P>0.05). The percentage of peripheral blood CD16 + CD56 + NK lymphocytes and the expression of granzyme B in the LLV group were lower than those in the CVR group ( P<0.05). After propensity score matching, 108 cases in the LLV group and 108 cases in the CVR group showed no significant differences in basic information ( P>0.05); the percentage of CD4 + T lymphocytes and CD4 + /CD8 + ratio in peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets were higher in the LLV group than in the CVR group, while the percentage of CD8 + lymphocytes was lower in the LLV group ( P<0.05); the expression of PD1 and CD28 by CD3 +, CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes remained higher in the LLV group ( P<0.05); the differences in the counts and percentages of peripheral blood CD19 + B lymphocytes as well as CD16 + CD56 + NK lymphocytes between the two groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05); no significant difference in the expression of perforin by CD16 + CD56 + NK lymphocytes was found between the two groups ( P>0.05), and the expression of granzyme B remained lower in the LLV group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Abnormal number and function of T lymphocytes and decreased function of NK lymphocytes might be related to the development of LLV in patients with chronic HBV infection after treatment. Therefore, in addition to adjusting NAs, targeting of T and NK lymphocytes might also be a feasible measure for future LLV treatment.
