ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography （ERCP） combined with oral cholangiopancreatography in the treatment of major duodenal papilla gallbladder polyps. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of eight patients with choledocholithiasis and gallbladder polyps who underwent ERCP and combined with oral cholangiopancreatography for major duodenal papilla cholecystectomy in Center of Digestive Endoscopy， Jilin People’s Hospital， from May 2022 to June 2024， and related data were collected， including the success rate of surgery， the technical success rate of gallbladder polyp removal， the superselective method of cystic duct， the time of operation， the time of gallbladder polyp removal， and surgical complications. ResultsBoth the success rate of surgery and the technical success rate of gallbladder polyp removal reached 100%， and of all eight patients， three patients used guide wire to enter the gallbladder under direct view， while five patients received oral cholangiopancreatography to directly enter the gallbladder. The time of operation was 51.88±12.34 minutes， and the time of gallbladder polyp removal was 23.13±10.94 minutes. The diameter of gallbladder polyp was 2‍ ‍—‍ ‍8 mm， and pathological examination showed inflammatory polyps in three patients， adenomatous polyps in one patient， and cholesterol polyps in four patients. There were no complications during or after surgery. The patients were followed up for 2‍ ‍—‍ ‍27 months after surgery， and no recurrence of gallbladder polyp was observed. ConclusionOral cholangiopancreatography is technically safe and feasible in endoscopic major duodenal papilla cholecystectomy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectivess of arthroscopic Wafer surgery combined with triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) insertion point reconstruction in the treatment of Palmer type ⅡC combined with typeⅠB ulnar impingement syndrome. METHODS: The clinical data of 14 patients with Parlmer type ⅡC combined with type ⅠB ulnar impingement syndrome who met the selection criteria between July 2021 and April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 7 males and 7 females with an average age of 43 years ranging from 16 to 59 years. The causes of injury were fall in 8 cases and sprain in 6 cases. The time from injury to operation ranged from 1 to 6 months, with an average of 2.3 months. Distal radioulnar joint instability was found in all cases. Arthroscopic Wafer surgery combined with TFCC insertion point reconstruction was used. The effectiveness was evaluated by comparing the wrist flexion-dorsiflexion range of motion, wrist ulnar deviation-radial deflection range of motion, forearm pronation-supination range of motion, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and modified Mayo wrist score before and after operation. RESULTS: All patients were followed up 6-12 months, with an average of 9.1 months. The positive variation of ulna was (3.2±0.7) mm before operation, and the negative variation of ulna was (2.2±0.6) mm after operation. There was a significant difference in ulna variation between pre- and post-operation ( t=23.851, P<0.001). The pain symptoms and forearm rotation function of the patients after operation significantly improved. At last follow-up, the wrist flexion-dorsiflexion range of motion, wrist ulnar deviation-radial deflection range of motion, forearm pronation-supination range of motion, VAS score, and modified Mayo wrist score significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION Arthroscopic Wafer surgery combined with TFCC insertion point reconstruction can effectively relieve wrist pain, enhance the stability of the distal radioulnar joint, and restore the function of the wrist in patients with Palmer type ⅡC combined with type ⅠB ulnar impingement syndrome.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the diagnostic value of shear wave elastography (SWE) for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 359 cases with suspected prostate cancer (PCa) in Baoji Central Hospital from June 2017 to July 2023. All the patients underwent the following examinations in the order of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS), measurement of the stiffness of the entire prostate gland by SWE, and TRUS-guided prostate puncture biopsy. The stiffness of the entire prostate gland was defined as the average of Young's modulus at both sides of the base, middle, and apex of the prostate, including the maximum Young's modulus (Emax), mean Young's modulus (Emean), and minimum Young's modulus (Emin). We analyzed the correlation of the parameters of the stiffness of the entire prostate gland with the pathological results, focusing on their diagnostic performance for csPCa. RESULTS: Of the 359 cases, 189 were diagnosed by pathological puncture biopsy as BPH, 26 as non-csPCa, and 144 as csPCa. The PSA level, Emax, Emean and Emin were significantly higher in the csPCa than those in the BPH and non-csPCa groups (all P < 0.01), but showed no statistically significant difference between the BPH and non-csPCa groups (all P > 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), optimal cut-off value, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of Emax in the diagnosis of csPCa were 0.852, 143.92 kPa, 72.22%, 84.65%, 75.91%, 81.98% and 79.67%; those of Emean were 0.868, 82.42 kPa, 67.36%, 91.16%, 83.62%, 80.66% and 81.62%; and those of Emin were 0.682, 32.73 kPa, 47.22%, 89.30%, 73.91%, 71.54% and 72.14%, respectively. In the non-csPCa group, Emax, Emean and Emin were found below the optimal cut-off value in 73.08% (19/26), 92.31% (24/26) and 88.46% (23/26), respectively. CONCLUSION The stiffness of the entire prostate gland measured by SWE contributes to the diagnosis of csPCa, reduces unnecessary detection of non-csPCa, and provides some reference for its active surveillance.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have confirmed that the new compound cottonrose hibiscus leaf gel plaster has a good effect in the treatment of acute soft tissue swelling. OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of compound cottonrose hibiscus leaf gel plaster in the treatment of synovitis of the knee joint. METHODS:Seventy-two patients with knee synovitis were selected from Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from December 2019 to May 2021.These patients were randomly divided into a trial group and a control group,with 36 cases in each group.The trial group was treated with compound cottonrose hibiscus leaf gel plaster,once a day,12 hours each time,while the control group was treated with Diclofenac Diethylamine Emulgel,twice a day.After 28 days of treatment,visual analog scale score,WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index score,quality of life score(SF-36),thickness of knee synovium and comprehensive curative effect were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Visual analog scale scores after treatment were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05).Visual analog scale scores in the trial group after 7,14 and 28 days of treatment were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index scores of the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index scores in the trial group after 7,14 and 28 days of treatment were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).(3)The SF-36 quality of life score in the two groups after 28 days of treatment was higher than that before treatment(P<0.05).SF-36 quality of life score in the trial group after 28 days of treatment was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).(4)After 28 days of treatment,the thickness of knee synovium in the trial group was less than that in the control group(P<0.05),and the effective rate in the trial group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).(5)These findings indicate that compared with Diclofenac Diethylamine Emulgel,the compound cottonrose hibiscus leaf gel plaster can better relieve knee pain,enhance knee joint function,reduce synovial hyperplasia,and elevate the overall quality of life of patients.

BACKGROUND:Natural bone morphogenetic protein 2 disperses and degrades rapidly in vivo,reducing local concentration and therapeutic efficacy.Simply combining bone morphogenetic protein 2 with tissue engineering scaffolds could not stay in vivo for a long time,making it difficult to achieve good sustained and controlled release effects.OBJECTIVE:To prepare and test the biological properties and chondrogenic induction effect of collagen-binding domain-bone morphogenetic protein 2-collagen cartilage scaffold.METHODS:SD rat tail collagen was extracted and a collagen cartilage scaffold was prepared using a vacuum freeze-drying machine chemical crosslinking method.The plasmid expressing collagen-binding domain-bone morphogenetic protein 2 was constructed by rapid cloning C112 homologous recombination,constructed by genetic engineering,and introduced into E.coli,and then collagen-binding domain-bone morphogenetic protein 2 was isolated and purified.Natural bone morphogenetic protein 2 and collagen-binding domain-bone morphogenetic protein 2 were combined with collagen cartilage scaffolds,respectively,to detect the release level of bone morphogenetic protein 2 in the scaffolds.The biocompatibility of collagen-binding domain-bone morphogenetic protein 2-collagen cartilage scaffold was detected by CCK-8 assay and F-Actin staining.Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were implanted on two kinds of collagen cartilage scaffolds for chondrogenic induction,and their chondrogenic induction activity was tested.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The binding rate of collagen-binding domain-bone morphogenetic protein 2 to collagen cartilage scaffolds was higher than that of natural bone morphogenetic protein 2(P<0.05).After being immersed in PBS for 7 days in vitro,the release of bone morphogenetic protein 2 in the collagen-binding domain bone morphogenetic protein 2-collagen cartilage scaffold was smaller than that in the natural bone morphogenetic protein 2-collagen cartilage scaffold(P<0.05).The results of the CCK-8 assay and F-Actin staining showed that the collagen-binding domain-bone morphogenetic protein 2-collagen cartilage scaffold had no obvious cytotoxicity and had good biocompatibility.(2)After 14 days of chondrogenic induction,ELISA detection demonstrated that the expressions of agglutincan and type Ⅱ collagen A1 in the collagen-binding domain-bone morphogenetic protein 2-collagen cartilage scaffold group were higher than those in the natural bone morphogenetic protein 2-collagen cartilage scaffold group(P<0.05).Under scanning electron microscopy,more bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were observed on the inner wall of the pores of the two groups of scaffolds,and the cell morphology and size were the same,and the cells were closely arranged,without cell fragmentation or abnormal morphology.(3)The results indicate that the collagen-binding domain-bone morphogenetic protein 2-collagen cartilage scaffold has good biological properties and chondrogenic induction activity.
