Objective:To explore and compare early postoperative clinical outcomes between dynamic and classical superior capsular reconstruction for the treatment of irreparable post-superior massive rotator cuff tears (MIRCTs).Methods:29 patients with MIRCTs treated with autologous fascia dynamic SCR (14) and classical SCR (15) at Department of Sports Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from September 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed on preoperative and final follow-up pain visual analogue scale (VAS), Constant-Murley score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score, range of motion (ROM), acromiohumeral distance (AHD), Sugaya classification and Goutallier classification.Results:All 29 patients were followed up with an average follow-up time of 36.50±8.18 months for dynamized SCR and 29.33±9.15 months for classical SCR, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, course of disease and preoperative AHD ( P>0.05). At the final follow-up, there was no significant difference in the degree of improvement in forward flexion (81.79°±36.14° vs. 69.00°±40.19°, t=0.899, P=0.377), abduction [87.50°(71.25°, 122.50°) vs. 80.00°(45.00°, 95.00°), Z=-1.400, P=0.172] and internal rotation [5.00°(5.00°, 6.00°) vs. 4.00°(1.00°, 6.00°), Z=-0.871, P=0.400]; external rotation improved significantly in the dynamic SCR group compared to classical SCR group [37.50°(30.00°, 41.25°) vs. 25.00°(15.00°, 30.00°), Z=-2.285, P=0.019]. Although both groups showed clinical improvements, no significant difference was found between the dynamic SCR group and the classical SCR group on VAS [4.00(3.75, 5.00) vs. 4.00(3.00, 5.00), Z=-0.029, P=0.949], ASES score (50.99±7.98 vs. 46.47±13.73, t=1.074, P=0.293), Constant-Murley score [62.50(54.00, 69.50) vs. 56.00(47.00, 62.00), Z=-1.956, P=0.112] and UCLA score (20.21±3.53 vs. 18.40±3.87, t=1.315, P=0.199). At the final follow-up, patients in the dynamic SCR group had a higher degree of improvement in AHD (3.66±2.22 mm vs. 2.00±1.75 mm, t=2.247, P=0.033). There was no significant difference in Sugaya grading between the two groups at the final follow-up ( Z=-0.370, P=0.747). As for the degree of improvement in Goutallier's grading, there was an improvement in the dynamic SCR group at the final follow-up versus the preoperative period ( Z=-2.101, P=0.036), while there was no significant difference in the degree of improvement in the classical SCR group at the final follow-up versus the preoperative period ( Z=-0.700, P>0.05). Conclusion:Both dynamic SCR and classical SCR for MIRCTs significantly improved shoulder function. Significant improvements in external rotation, AHD and Goutallier grading were observed in the dynamic SCR group compared to the classical SCR group.

Objective To explore the effects of the training the trainers model in the quality control circle training.Methods According to the training the trainers model, 27 nurses were involved as trainers and received quality control circle training by 6 mentors from 2013 to 2015. The training capacity of trainers and the training effect of the target group were assessed before and after training. The lasting effect after training were evaluated.Results The self-assessment score of 6 trainers′ training capacity after training (4.30±0.54) was significantly higher than before training (1.41±0.50) (t=-19.98, P<0.01). The self-assessment score of 189 circle members′ training capacity after training ( 27. 51 ± 4. 19 ) was significantly higher than before training (20.52±4.56) (t=-18.722, P<0.01). The percentage of nursing staff participating in the quality control circle significantly increased from 2.8% to 12.4% after the whole process (χ2=226.378, P<0.01).Conclusions The training the trainers model is effective in improving training capacity of trainers in quality control circle training and increasing effects of quality control circle training among target nurses and is an effective model in training quality control circle on nurses.
