Objective:To investigate the stability and feasibility of using absorbable screws during Bernese periacetabular osteotomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on a 36 year-old woman diagnosed with developmental dysplasia of the hip, who had undergone Bernese periacetabular osteotomy. Finite element analysis was used to simulate the stability of the acetabulum under loads of 10%, 20%, 50%, and 100% of the patient's weight. The structural stiffness of the pelvis and the maximum equivalent stress on the absorbable screws were observed under different conditions, including whether the acetabular bone block and the ilium were in contact, whether 3 or 4 screws were used, and whether a graft (including fibular cortical bone and PEEK grafts) was used.Results:The structural stiffness of the pelvis fixed with four screws increased by 67%-94% compared to that with three screws. After using a graft, the structural stiffness of the pelvis increased by 50%-83%. As the load increased, the maximum equivalent stress on the screws also increased. When the acetabular bone block and the ilium had no contact, no graft was used, and only three screws were used for fixation, the maximum equivalent stress could reach 518.9 MPa, while this value dropped to 61% when four screws were used (318.7 MPa). When the acetabular bone block and the ilium were in contact, the maximum equivalent stress was about 12% of that when there was no contact, regardless of the number of screws used. When a cortical bone graft or a PEEK graft was used, the maximum equivalent stress could drop to 21%-26% of that without a graft. When the screw strength was 130 MPa, a load of 20% of body weight was applied, and only three screws were used without a graft, the equivalent stress could exceed the strength of the screw; if four screws were used, the equivalent stress was slightly higher than the strength of the screw when a load of 50% of body weight was applied. However, when a graft was used (either cortical bone or PEEK), even when a load of 100% of body weight was applied, the equivalent stress was slightly lower than the strength of the screw.Conclusion:Absorbable screws can provide sufficient stability for Bernese periacetabular osteotomy. The contact between the acetabular bone block and the ilium, an increase in the number of screws, and the use of grafts (cortical bone and PEEK grafts) can further improve stability. Therefore, absorbable screws have broad application prospects in Bernese periacetabular osteotomy.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with negative pressure suction sheath and PCNL with traditional expanded sheath in the treatment of infectious renal calculus.Methods:From May 2019 to June 2022 in our department, 35 patients with infectious renal calculus who received PCNL with negative pressure suction sheath (negative pressure sheath group, NPS group) and another 35 patients with infectious renal calculus who received PCNL with traditional expanded sheath (control group) were determined in our research. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted. Preoperative clinical data of the 2 groups was similar and there were no statistical differences between the 2 groups in the age [(45.5±6.8)vs. (44.9±7.3) years old, P=0.723], gender (man/woman 19/16 cases vs. 21/14 cases, P=0.629), body mass index(BMI) [(24.2±4.2)kg/m 2vs. (24.5±3.9)kg/m 2, P=0.758], American Society of Anesthesiologists risk score(ASA) (grade 1/grade 2: 30/5 cases vs. 29/6 cases, P=0.743), sides of calculus (left/right: 18/17 cases vs. left 17/18 cases, P=0.811), Guy’s stone score (grade Ⅰ/Ⅱ/Ⅲ: 3/25/7 cases vs. 1/29/5 cases, P=0.443), CT value of calculus [(629.2±98.8)HU vs. (608.5±105.1)HU, P=0.399], urinary leucocyte (-/+ /+ + : 29/5/1 cases vs. 28/5/2 cases, P=0.839), hypertension(3 cases vs. 5 cases, P=0.707), diabetes(2 cases vs. 2 cases, P=1.000). The ureteral catheter on the affected side was indwelled in the lithotomy position, and ultrasound guided positioning puncture was performed on the affected renal side of the posterior axillary line in the prone position. The puncture channel was established and then expanded to F20 successively, and the lithotriptic sheath was placed to establish the lithotriptic channel. Compared with the traditional expanded sheath, the negative pressure suction sheath was different in that the collateral suction channel was added on the main gravel channel and connected with continuous negative pressure suction. The negative pressure was 40 kPa. All patients were treated with pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy combined with holmium laser. KUB was performed within 1 week after surgery. We defined stone removal as either no residual stones or clinically insignificant residual stones (≤4 mm) which did not cause urinary obstruction. The intraoperative duration of operation and postoperative clinical parameters [white blood cell(WBC), procalcitonin(PCT), C-reactive protein(CRP), hemoglobin(Hb), stone clearance rate] and incidence of perioperative complications were compared between the 2 groups. Results:The operation time of NPS group was lower than that in control group [(35.6±19.5)min vs. (45.4±20.2)min, P<0.05]. The proportion of patients with increased WBC, PCT and CRP in blood after operation in NPS group was lower than that in control group, and there were (WBC: 25.7% vs. 54.3%, P<0.05), (PCT: 42.9% vs.68.6%, P<0.05) and (CRP: 62.9% vs.85.7%, P<0.05) respectively. There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients with decreased Hb postoperatively between the 2 groups (2.9% vs. 8.6%, P=0.607). There was no significant difference in calculus clearance rate postoperatively between the 2 groups (97.1% vs. 94.3%, P=1.000). Postoperative calculus component analysis of the 2 groups suggested that all patients had infected calculus dominated by ammonium magnesium phosphate and phosphate apatite. The incidence of perioperative complications in NPS group was lower than that in control group (22.9% vs. 51.4%, P<0.05). The proportion of patients with fever (body temperature>37.5℃) postoperatively in NPS group was lower than that in control group (14.3% vs. 37.1%, P<0.05). There were 2 and 3 patients respectively required upgraded antibiotic therapy after operation in the 2 groups ( P=1.000). There was one patient respectively with urinary tract obstruction and renal colic due to blood clots postoperatively in each group ( P=1.000). There was one patient with urinary sepsis in control group after operation ( P=0.476). Conclusions:Compared with PCNL with traditional expanded sheath, PCNL with negative pressure suction sheath can save operation time for infectious renal calculus, and reduce the incidence of postoperative infection and perioperative complications. Therefore, the safety of negative pressure suction sheath is higher. However, there is no difference in stone clearance rate between them.

Objective:To explore the characteristics and differences of oxygenated hemoglobin responses in different brain regions in adolescent depressive disorder patients and healthy adolescents during speech fluency task based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy imaging.Methods:From March 2021 to June 2021, twenty-nine adolescents with depression(depressed group) and 26 healthy adolescents(normal group) were enrolled. The severity of depression was assessed by Hamilton depression scale, and the speech fluency task was performed by functional near-infrared spectroscopy brain imaging, and the relative concentrations of oxyhemoglobin in the prefrontal and bilateral temporal lobes were measured.SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for data analysis, chi-square test was used for gender count data. The t-test was used for comparison of two groups. The measurement data that did not conform to normal distribution were compared between the two groups by Mann-Whitney U test. Results:In the speech fluency task, there was no significant difference in the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in prefrontal and left temporal between the depressed group and the normal group (both P>0.05); the oxygenated hemoglobin concentration in the right temporal lobe(-9.179(-22.231, 4.789)) of depressed group was significantly lower than that of the normal group (12.754(-9.438, 35.008)), and the difference was statistically significant ( U=538.00, P<0.05). The oxygenated hemoglobin concentration in right temporal lobe of depressed group had no correlation with the score of Hamilton depression rating scale ( r=0.092, P>0.05). Conclusion:The right temporal lobe function of adolescent depression patients is lower than that of healthy controls during speech fluency tasks, which provides a basis for study of the relationship between depression and some cognitive sensitivity impairment and the function of right temporal lobe.

Objective:To explore the pathogenic genes, clinical characteristics and treatment follow-up of children with congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS).Methods:Clinical data of 20 cases diagnosed with congenital LQTS and underwent gene testing from April 15, 2011 to April 15, 2021 in Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University were retrospectively collected and analyzed using independent sample t-test and Fisher′ s exact probability method. Results:LQTS-related gene mutations were detected in all the 20 cases, and pathogenic or suspected pathogenic mutations were identified in 18 cases (90.0%). Five LQTS mutation genes were discovered, including KCNQ1, KCNH2, SCN5A, CACNA1C and AKAP9.Eighteen cases (90.0%) had positive symptoms, and 13 cases (65.0%) had definite inducements.The inducement of symptoms in children with LQTS type 1(LQT1) was related to exercise, the causes of syncope in LQT1 and Jervell-Lange-Nielsen syndrome type 1 (JLNS1) with complex heterozygous mutations were exercise or emotional agitation; the causes of syncope in LQTS type 2 (LQT2) were unrelated to exercise; severe exercise in LQTS type 3 (LQT3) resulted in symptoms; and seizure in LQTS type 8 (LQT8) was non-induced.The corrected QT(QTc) interval of 20 cases was (553.1±66.6) ms, with a range of 460-707 ms, among which 17 cases showed QTc≥480 ms.The electrocardiogram(ECG) manifestations of children with various types of LQTS were different.There was no significant difference in QTc between different genders, or between children with syncope and those without syncope (all P>0.05). The follow-up time was (3.4±2.3) years, ranging from 0 to 8.3 years.Seventeen children received treatment[beta blockers and implantable cardiovertor-defibrillator(ICD)] and 3 cases did not.By the end of the follow-up, 1 child died, 19 cases survived, and 2 cases of the surviving children lost consciousness. Conclusions:There is a high consistency between genetic diagnosis and clinical diagnosis of congenital LQTS.The positive rate of gene detection is 90.0%.The clinical manifestations and ECG characteristics vary with genotypes.Beta blockers are protective.ICD therapy can prevent sudden cardiac death when oral medication does not respond.
