OBJECTIVES: To assess the biomechanical performance of a novel bridging plate for treating Rockwood III acromioclavicular joint dislocation. METHODS: A novel bridging plate structure was designed based on CT data from a patient with Rockwood type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation, and a finite element model of the bridging plate-acromioclavicular joint interaction was constructed. The stress and deformation characteristics and biomechanical compatibility of the plate under post-reduction, normal loading, and impact loading conditions were analyzed to evaluate its fixation mechanism and clinical advantages. RESULTS: The stiffness of the bridging system was 27.78 N/mm, close to that of acromioclavicular joint ligaments (26.05 N/mm) and meeting the requirements for flexible deformation. Under normal loading, the maximum stress in the bridging system was 88.29 MPa to sustain physiological activities; under impact loading, the maximum stress reached 480 MPa, and the cable underwent plastic deformation to dissipate energy and effectively buffer local stress concentrations, thereby reducing the risk of rigid bone fractures. The high-stress regions in the bone primarily occurred at the edges of the C1-C4 screw holes. The maximum bone stress was 0.762 MPa under normal loading and 5.963 MPa under impact loading, accounting for 2.86% and 1.66% of the corresponding bolt stresses, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The novel bridging plate is better adapted to biomechanical characteristics of the acromioclavicular joint compared to traditional internal fixation. This fixation system provides sufficient stability while allowing physiological micromotion to facilitate postoperative rehabilitation. Significant flexible deformation can occur at the connection between the fixation ring and the cable, and brittle materials should not be used in this region. The issue of stress concentration at the C1-C4 screw holes requires special attention in its clinical application.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the efficacy of DSA-guided intrathecal drug delivery system combined with Zi Wu Liu Zhu Acupoint Therapy for management of cancer pain and provide reference for its standardized clinical application. Methods and. RESULTS: Recommendations were formulated based on literature review and expert group discussion, and consensus was reached following expert consultation. The consensus recommendations are comprehensive, covering the entire treatment procedures from preoperative assessment and preparation, surgical operation process, postoperative management and traditional Chinese medicine treatment to individualized treatment planning. The study results showed that the treatment plans combining traditional Chinese with Western medicine effectively alleviated cancer pain, reduced the use of opioid drugs, and significantly improved the quality of life and enhanced immune function of the patients. Postoperative follow-up suggested good treatment tolerance among the patients without serious complications. CONCLUSIONS The formulated consensus is comprehensive and can provide reference for clinicians to use DSA-guided intrathecal drug delivery system combined with Zi Wu Liu Zhu Acupoint Therapy. The combined treatment has a high clinical value with a good safety profile for management of cancer pain.

Objective To investigate air radioactivity contamination, surface contamination, ambient dose equivalent rates, and radiation doses to individuals in the treatment room during ¹⁷⁷Lu-DOTATATE therapy. Methods A ward for ¹⁷⁷Lu-DOTATATE therapy was selected in the nuclear medicine department of a general hospital. Air and surface radioactivity samples were collected before and after therapy for four patients. Ambient dose equivalent rates were measured around the four patients following the initiation of ¹⁷⁷Lu-DOTATATE therapy. Measurements were taken at distances of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 1−4 m (with 0.5 m intervals) from the right lateral midsection of the patient’s torso. The measurement time points included 5, 15, and 30 min after initiation of administration, as well as 0−4 h (with 1 h intervals), 24 h, and 48 h post-administration. Radiation exposure doses for personnel at different distances from the patients were calculated for each time interval. Results The results of radioactive aerosol detection for all four patients during and after the administration of ¹⁷⁷Lu-DOTATATE were similar to those before administration. Surface contamination was not detected at the measurement locations except for patient number 2. The ambient dose equivalent rates increased with increasing injection dose during the administration. However, the ambient dose equivalent rates decreased significantly within one hour after administration. At the end of the administration, the average ambient dose equivalent rate at a distance of one meter for the four patients was 42.931 μSv/h. From the start of administration to four hours post-administration, personnel maintaining a distance of one meter from the patient received a total radiation dose of 167.64 μSv. Conclusion Air radioactivity contamination does not occur during ¹⁷⁷Lu-DOTATATE therapy. However, measures should be taken before the commencement of therapy to address potential surface contamination. Both accompanying persons and healthcare staff receive radiation doses below the stipulated dose constraints throughout the treatment process. Therefore, it is necessary to implement appropriate measures to minimize the radiation exposure of healthcare staff.
