Objective To develop a newly designed guide and evaluate its clinic application prospect in treatment of patella fracture. Methods In our mechanical experiment, we carried out the tensile test of the two generation drilling guides by biomechanics machine and then analyzed the difference in their deformation. In the corpse experiment , we transversed fractures at the equator of the patella obtained from 10 fresh cadaver speci-mens. They were divided into 2 groups randomly: a test group and a control group. The second-generation of the aiming guide was used for the test group but not for the control group during the experiment. Then we evaluated its clinic application in the treatment of patella fracture. Results In the mechanical experiment, the displace-ment of the first generation guide was significantly larger than that of the newly one. The accuracy in the place-ment of k-wires by the second generation guide was significantly higher than by the first generation guide (P <0.05). Conclusions The drilling guide is reasonable in design and convenient in use. Moreover, it can improve the accuracy and quality of insertion of tension-band wiring of patellar fractures. The second-generation one is better and thus it is worth clinically spreading.

Polymer hydrogels composed of highly hydrated crosslinked network mimic the composites of the cartilage extracelular matrix and are embedded with articular chondrocytes not only to support chondrocytes growth but also to promote chondrocytes proliferation and division which wil induce the cartilage regeneration and repair. OBJECTIVE:To review several kinds of natural polymer hydrogels and their newest progress and achievements. METHODS:Relative literatures from January 1994 to July 2013 were classified and analyzed by searching the databases through PubMed, Springer, Sciencedirect and Ovid databases using the keywords of “natural polymers, biodegradable polymers, hydrogel scaffold, articular cartilage, regeneration”.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Natural proteins (colagen, gelatin) and polysaccharides (chitosan, hyaluronic acid) are widely used as natural polymer hydrogels. The natural polymer hydrogels have not only the physical characters beneficial to articular cartilage regeneration, but also the important biological parameters, such as biocompatibility, low immunological response, low cytotoxicity and degradation. Meanwhile, the polymer hydrogels with natural origin can promote celladhesion, proliferation and division, and enhance the regeneration of new tissue. Moreover, they also can serve as carriers to sustain the release of drugs and growth factors. Al in al, natural polymer hydrogels have a potential application in articular cartilage regeneration and repair.

Objective To evaluate the relative safety of different ventilation methods regarding mortality and rates of complication,on neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS).Methods Network Meta-analysis was used to collect data on randomized controlled trials of pulmonary ventilation strategies in preterm infants with a mean gestational age of less than 32 weeks.Diagnostic criteria on NRDS were published in the PubMed,Cochrane,Web of Science,EBSCO,and Springer Link databases from January 1986 to June 2018.Revman 5.3 software was used to evaluate the quality of studies,based on the Cochrane quality assessment tool.Data were analyzed by Bayesian and frequency methods,using both Win BUGS 1.4.3 and STATA 13.0 software.Safety of different ventilation strategies for NRDS mortality and complications would include intraventficular hemorrhage (IVH),patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and were evaluated.Counted data was displayed by OR and 95%CI.Results A total of 31 RCTs were included in this paper,including 5 827 preterm infants and 11 ventilation strategies.There were no statistically significant differences appearing in 11 ventilation strategies on mortality,PDA or ROE IVH results were reported in 28 studies.Compared with nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV),both high-frequency oscillation ventilation (HFOV) (OR=3.33,95% CI:1.08-16.67,P<0.05) and synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilation (SIMV) (OR=8.22,95%CI:1.25-29.44,P<0.05) schemes seemed to have increased the risk of IVH in preterm infants with NRDS.NIPPV appeared the optimal ventilation strategy in the rankings of cumulative probability.Results on clustering showed that NIPPV was probably the best ventilation strategy for children with NRDS after considering the orders of IVH,PDA and ROP on mortality,respectively.However,HFOV,IMV,and SIMV did not seem to be the ideal ventilated strategies.Conclusions Most of the clinical decision makers might prefer using NIPPV in the treatment of children with NRDS through mechanical ventilation systems to reduce both the incidence and death caused by IVH,PDA and ROP.It was not recommended to use HFOV,SIMV and IMV in treating NRDS with gestational less than 32 weeks.We suggested that larger numbers of multi-center RCTs ba carried out to make the above conclusions more convincing.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with retrograde release of the neurovascular bundle.Methods:From January 2021 to January 2022, the clinical data of 113 patients with retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) was retrospectively analyzed. The ages of the optimized group and the standard group were (67.5±6.4) years and (67.7±6.1) years, and the body mass index (BMI) was (25.0±3.2) kg/m 2 and (24.9±3.1) kg/m 2, respectively. The prostate volume was (42.8±15.4) ml and (41.0±17.9) ml, the preoperative PSA was (13.5±13.1) ng/ml and (11.9±16.0) ng/ml, and the preoperative IIEF-5 score was (15.0±4.0) and (14.8±4.2) points, respectively. Gleason scores were (7.2±0.8) points and (7.1±0.9) points, respectively, with no statistical significance ( P>0.05). The clinical stages of cT 2 and cT 3 were 35 and 40 cases in the optimized group and 16 and 22 cases in the standard group, respectively. There were 5 and 11 cases of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, respectively, with no statistical significance ( P>0.05). The optimized RS-RARP is the blunt dissection of the denonvilliers fascia and forward to the apex of prostate, and retrograde release of the NVB. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, drainage tube retention time, days of hospital stay, positive rate of pathological margin and incidence of complications were compared. The recovery of urinary continence was evaluated at 2 weeks after the catheter was removed, and the postoperative IIEF-5 score and PSA were followed up at 1 month after the surgery. Immediate urinary continence was defined as the use of 1 pad on the day of radical prostatectomy. Follow-up intervals were no more than 3 months. The log-rank test compared urinary incontinence rates between the two modalities. Results:All 113 cases of surgery were completed, and median follow-up was 16 months. The operation time was (79.7±26.6) min and (149.8±40.1) min, and the intraoperative blood loss was (54.9±24.7) ml and (110.0±83.2) ml, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The retention time of postoperative drainage tube was (5.3±2.1) d and (5.5±2.1) d in the optimal group and the standard group, and the days of hospital stay was (7.6±2.1) d and (8.5±2.3) d, respectively. The positive rate of postoperative pathological margin was 19.6% (10/51) and 24.2% (15/62), respectively. There was no significant difference ( P>0.05). immediate urinary continence was 86.3% (44/51) and 69.4% (43/62) in the optimized group and the standard group, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.033). Postoperative IIEF-5 scores were (13.2±3.3) and (11.0±4.3), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.012). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risk of urinary incontinence was lower in the optimized group ( P=0.02). Conclusions:The optimized RS-RARP might shorten the operation time, reduce intraoperative bleeding, and help the recovery of urinary continence and sexual function to a great extent.
