Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2009;(15):676-677
Objective:To study the clinical features of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis. Method: Eleven pa-tients with histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis were collected to analyze the clinical features, pathological features of biopsy lymph nodes,diagnosis and treatment. Result:Lymph node swelling of neck and persistent fever were de-tected in all patients. The leukocyte reduction and swiftness of ESR in serum were detected in most patients. The final diagnosis of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis was confirmed by biopsy investigation of the pathology. The pathological features included distinctive necrosis, loss of lymph node structure, infiltration with histiocytes and lymphocytes, absence of neutrophils. All patients were treated with glucocorticoid for 2 to 4 months. The patients improved significantly and were not recurrence during follow up visit. Conclusion: There was no specific clinical manifestation of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis and which easy to misdiagnose. Diagnosis of histiocytic ne-crotizing lymphadenitis relies on the pathological examination of enlarged lymph nodes.

Phytantriol (PT), ethanol (ET) and water were used to prepare in situ cubic liquid crystal (ISV2). The pseudo-ternary phase diagram of PT-ET-water was constructed and isotropic solution formulations were chosen for further optimization. The physicochemical properties of isotropic solution formulations were evaluated to optimize the composition of ISV2. In situ hexagonal liquid crystals (ISH2) were prepared based on the composition of ISV2 with the addition of vitamin E acetate (VitEA) and the amount of VitEA was optimized by in vitro release behavior. The phase structures of liquid crystalline gels formed by ISV2 and ISH2 in excess water were confirmed by crossed polarized light microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering, respectively. Rheological properties of ISV2 and ISH2 were studied by a DHR-2 rheometer. In vitro drug release studies were conducted by using a dialysis membrane diffusion method. Pharmacokinetics was investigated by determination of sinomenine hydrochloride (SMH) concentration in synovial membrane after intra-articular injection of SMH-loaded ISH2 in adjuvant-induced arthritis rats. The optimal ISV2 (PT/ET/water, 64 : 16 : 20, w/w/w) loaded with 6 mg x g(-1) of SMH showed a suitable pH, injectable and formed a cubic liquid crystalline gel in situ with minimum water absorption in the shortest time. The optimal ISV2 was able to sustain the drug release for 144 h. The optimal ISH2 system was prepared by addition of 5% VitEA into PT in the optimal ISV2 system. This ISH2 (PT/VitEA/ET/water, 60.8 : 3.2 : 16 : 20, w/w/w/w) was an injectable isotropic solution with suitable pH. The new ISH2 was able to sustain the drug release for more than 240 h. Local pharmacokinetics study indicated that the retention time and AUC(0-∞) of ISH2 group were increased significantly compared with that of SMH solution group and the AUC(0-∞) of ISH2 group was 6.01 times higher than that of SMH solution group. The developed ISH2 was suitable for intra-articular injection that may apply to patients in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2020;24(24):3786-3791
BACKGROUND: Pilon fractures are mainly vertical compression violence involving the tibia distal articular surface fracture, especially the high-energy damage Pilon fracture. Pilion fracture is characterized by obvious fracture displacement, different levels of compression, crushing at stem epiphyseal end, unstable height, primary articular cartilage injury and uneven joint surface. Because it is difficult to treat, and holds various complications and high morbidity, it becomes a challenge in the field of orthopedics. Good preoperative planning and design can reduce the occurrence of complications and obtain good clinical treatment outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical effect of three-dimensional printing technology combined with virtual surgery design in the treatment of complex Pilon fractures. METHODS: Eighty-eight patients with complex Pilon fracture at Yulin Orthopedics Hospital of Chinese and Western Medicine from August 2017 to November 2018 were selected and divided into two groups (three-dimensional printing group, n=38; control group, n=50). The three-dimensional printing group was treated with three-dimensional printing technology combined with virtual surgery design, and the control group was treated with conventional surgery. The operation time, blood loss, incision length, one-time successful placement rate, postoperative ankle function recovery and healing were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The three-dimensional printing group was superior to the control group in terms of operation time, blood loss, incision length, one-time successful placement rate, reduction satisfaction (Burwell-Charnley fracture reduction radiology evaluation), functional recovery degree (Mazur ankle joint score) after 12-month follow-up and wound healing (P < 0.05). (2) To conclude, compared with conventional surgery, three-dimensional printing combined with virtual surgery design for treating complex Pilon fractures can shorten the operation time, reduce surgical trauma and blood loss, and achieve satisfactory fracture reduction and functional recovery.

The case of the nodular fasciitis was with a short history and rapid growth speed. The lesion was nodular, not encapsulated. Histologically, the fibroblasts proliferated actively, with some mitoses. The reality of the nodular fasciitis is the proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. This disease is a benign lesion. It is very important to make a different diagnosis between this lesion and sarcomas. Ultrasonography and MRI are important assistants in diagnosis of nodular fasciitis. This disease could be effectively treated by local excision with a low recurrence rate and a satisfactory prognosis.
