OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and early effectiveness of computer-simulated osteotomy based on the health-side combined with guide plate technique in the treatment of cubitus varus deformity in adolescents. METHODS: The clinical data of 23 patients with cubitus varus deformity who met the selection criteria between June 2019 and February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 17 males and 6 females, ranging in age from 4 to 16 years with an average of 8.5 years. The time from injury to operation was 1-4 years. The angle of distal humerus rotation was defined by humeral head posterior inclination angle using low radiation dose CT to scan the patient's upper extremity data at one time, and the preoperative rotation of the distal humerus on the affected side was (33.82±4.39)°. The CT plain scan data were imported into 9yuan3D digital orthopaedic system (V3.34 software) to reconstruct three-dimensional images of both upper extremities. The simulated operation was performed with the healthy upper extremity as the reference, the best osteotomy scheme was planned, overlapped and compared, and the osteotomy guide plate was prepared. The patients were followed up regularly after operation, and the formation of callus in the osteotomy area was observed by X-ray examination. Before and after operation, the carrying angle of both upper extremities (the angle of cubitus valgus was positive, and the angle of cubitus varus was negative) and anteversion angle were measured on X-ray and CT images. At the same time, the flexion and extension range of motion of elbow joint and the external rotation range of motion of upper extremity were measured, and Mayo score was used to evaluate the function of elbow joint. RESULTS: The operation time ranged from 34 to 46 minutes, with an average of 39 minutes. All patients were followed up 5-26 months, with a mean of 14.9 months. All the incisions healed by first intention after the operation; 2 patients had nail path irritation symptoms after Kirschner wire fixation, which improved after dressing change; no complication such as breakage and loosening of internal fixators occurred after regular X-ray review. Continuous callus formed at the osteotomy end at 4 weeks after operation, and the osteotomy end healed at 8-12 weeks after operation. At last follow-up, the carrying angle, anteversion angle, external rotation range of motion, and extension and flexion range of motion of the elbow joint of the affected side significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones ( P<0.05). Except for the extension range of motion of the healthy elbow joint ( P<0.05), there was no significant difference in other indicators between the two sides ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the Mayo elbow score was 85-100, with an average of 99.3; 22 cases were excellent, 1 case was good, and the excellent and good rate was 100%. CONCLUSION Computer-simulated osteotomy based on health-side combined with guide plate technique for treating cubitus varus deformity in adolescents can achieve precise osteotomy, which has the advantages of short operation time and easy operation, and the short-term effectiveness is satisfactory.

Objective:To establish the patient derived xenograft (PDX) model of liver malignant tumor, analyze the related factors affecting the carcinogenesis of PDX model, and analyze the differences of biological characteristics between the primary tumor and PDX model.Methods:Fresh liver malignant tumor tissue samples were collected from the patients who received the surgery from the Tianjin First Central Hospital and the samples were inoculated subcutaneously into BALB/c-nu mice. The correlations between clinicopathological information and tumor formation rate were analyzed, and the pathological morphology and specific protein expression of PDX model and primary tumor were compared.Results:Thirty-three PDX models were successfully established from 63 cases of liver malignant tumors. The overall tumor formation rate was 52.4% (33/63), including 46.3% (25/54) of primary liver cancer and 88.9% (8/9) of liver metastasis. The main factors affecting the tumor formation rate were tumor pathological type, distant metastasis and TNM stage (all P<0.05). The pathological morphology and specific protein expression of PDX model and primary tumor were similar. Conclusion:The PDX model of liver malignant tumor was successfully constructed, and the tumor formation rate was high, and can maintain the biological characteristics of the primary tumor.

Objective: To research the auditory nerve transduction effects under multi-wavelength pulsed laser stimulations within a safe and acceptable signal range. Methods: The real-time detection of intracellular calcium concentration was adopted by specific fluorescent indicator staining based on calcium imager. The spiral ganglion cells of mice were cultured in vitro. After fluorescent indicating, morphologic observation under optical microscope, Fura-2 calcium ion fluorescence excitation, intact morphology cells selection, fixing the optical fiber, the spiral ganglion cells were irradiated by different wavelength laser, including visible light (450 nm) and near infrared light (808 nm,1 065 nm). The intracellular calcium concentration was monitored by calcium ion imaging. Results: When 450 nm laser stimulated spiral ganglion cells, the intracellular calcium concentration was strongly increased, however, for other wavelength laser stimulation, there was no obvious relative response. And the sensitivity expression of the nerve cells under laser was related with the location of laser fiber. Cells closer to the fiber produced more obvious changes in calcium ion concentration, while for cells farther away from the fiber, the change amplitudes were weaker although the number of changes in calcium ion concentration was consistent. Conclusion The spiral ganglion cells of mice can induce a signal transduction response under the action of laser, and the response has laser wavelength selectivity.

Objective To analyze the clinical effects of arthroscopic en masse repair with footprint ending shift using double-row suture-bridge technique for delaminated rotator cuff tears under tension.Methods A total of 58 patients with delaminated rotator cuff tears under tension from August 2013 to August 2016 who underwent arthroscopic en masse repair using doublerow suture-bridge technique were retrospectively analyzed.There were 33 males and 25 females with a mean age of 53.0±7.8 years (range 39-74) with 24 patients left side involved and 34 right side.They were divided into 2 groups to receive en masse repair either footprint ending shift or on the footprint.There were 28 patients with footprint ending shift and 30 patients on the footprint.Clinical effects were evaluated by University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score,American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score,visual analogue scale (VAS),Constant-Murley score and shoulder range of motion at preoperatively and postoperatively.Results The average follow-up duration was 23.2±0.8 months (range 21-24).The two groups were compatible with no significant difference in age,gender,tear size,follow-up duration,preoperative function and range of motion of the shoulder joint (P＞0.05).At the last follow up,the UCLA,ASES,VAS,Constant-Murley scores and shoulder range of motion in the group footprint ending shift were respectively 32.4±2.5,12.8±0.9,1.0±1.1,93.4±5.6,158.3°±9.3°,58.9°±5.0° with significantly differences compared with preoperative scores (P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative value in the group on footprint were respectively 31.6±2.9,12.8±0.9,0.7 ± 1.2,91.3±7.1,156.1°± 10.7°,59.6°±4.6° with significantly differences compared with the preoperative scores (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The operation duration in the group footprint ending shift was 100.9±6.0 min,while that in the group on footprint was 106.6±6.1 min.There was significantly difference in the operation duration between two groups (t=-3.600,P=0.001).Conclusion Arthroscopic en masse repair using double-row suture-bridge technique can successfully treat delaminated rotator cuff tears under tension.Compared with arthroscopic en masse repair on footprint using double-row suture-bridge technique,the footprint ending shift is easier and time saving without significant difference in function of the shoulder joint and the range of motion in repair of delaminated rotator cuff tear under tension.

This study aimed to investigate the improvement of tolance and pharmacodynamics of nano-micelle irinotecan formulation compared with irinotecan hydrochloride injection(Campto). The toxic effects of the two formulations on colorectal cancer cells COLO205, HT-29, HCT-8 and SW480 were tested in vitro. COLO205 tumor-bearing mouse model was constructed. The two preparations were given via tail vein injection to investigate the maximum tolerance dose(MTD)of tumor-bearing mice to the two preparations, and then to explore the improvement of anti-tumor efficacy of nano-micelle irinotecan formulation near the MTD. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the inhibitory effect of the two formulations on the four colorectal cancer cells in vitro. The MTD of nano-micelle irinotecan formulation and Campto was 432. 0 and 276. 5 mg/m2 respectively. Both of the two formulations showed significant anti-tumor effect in vivo, and the relative tumor proliferation rate and tumor wet weight inhibition rate of nano-micelle irinotecan formulation at high dose(345. 6 mg/m2)were significantly better than those of Campto at two doses(177. 0 and 221. 2 mg/m2)(P< 0. 05).

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic bursal layer-only double-row suture-bridge repair for delaminated rotator cuff tear which is difficult to reposit in comparison with separate double-layer repair and whole-layer repair.Methods From May 2013 through June 2016,82 patients with delaminated rotator cuff tear difficult to reposit were treated at Department of Joint Surgery,The Affiliate Hospital to Chengde Medical University.They were 47 males and 35 females with a mean age of 53.0 ± 7.9 years.They were divided into 3 groups according to their surgical procedures.In group A,28 cases were treated by arthroscopic whole-layer double-row suture-bridge procedure;in group B,29 cases were treated by arthroscopic separate double-layer double-row suture-bridge procedure;in group C,25 cases were treated by arthroscopic bursal layer-only double-row suture-bridge procedure.The 3 groups were compared in terms of University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score,American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score,visual analogue scale (VAS),Constant shoulder score,range of motion of shoulder joint and rotator cuff retear preoperatively and postoperatively.Results The patients in the 3 groups were comparable because their preoperative general data showed no significant significances (P ＞ 0.05).The operation time for groups A,B and C was respectively 105.5 ±5.6 min,117.4 ±6.9 min and 88.0 ±4.2 min,showing significant differences between the 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).The 82 patients were followed up for 21 to 24 months (average,23.3 months).At 24 months postoperatively,UCLA,ASES,VAS,Constant score,shoulder anteflexion and lateral extorsion were respectively 32.4 ± 2.5,12.8 ± 0.9,1.0 ± 1.1,93.4 ± 5.6,158.3° ± 9.3°and 58.9°±5.0°in group A,32.2±2.5,12.9±1.0,0.9±1.0,92.8±6.0,156.4°±9.5°and 59.3°± 5.6° in groups B,and32.4±2.4,12.9±0.9,0.7±0.9,94.3±5.2,156.0°±9.5°and57.6°°5.4°in group C,showing no significant differences between the 3 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The occurrence of rotator cuff retear in groups A,B and C were respectively 17.9％ (5/28),13.8％ (4/29) and 12.0％ (3/25),showing no significant differences between the 3 groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions In repair of delaminated rotator cuff tear difficult to reposit,although the arthroscopic bursal layer-only double-row suture-bridge repair is similar to conventional arthroscopic whole-layer double-row suture-bridge repair and arthroscopic separate double-layer double-row suture-bridge repair in functional recovery and range of motion of the shoulder and incidence of rotator cuff retear,it can reduce obviously operation time and make the operation easier.

Objective To investigate the prevention effect of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) gel dressings combined with chlorhexidine wipe bath on femoral venous central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in continue renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Methods A total of 593 cases of patients with femoral venous catheter who receipted CRRT were divided into the experimental group and the control group. 282 cases of patients who hospitalized in ICU from January 2016 to December 2016 were assigned into the control group and received 3M transparent dressings and whole-body warm water bathing.Those hospitalized in ICU from January 2017 to November 2017 were assigned into the experimental group including 311cases and received 3M CHG gel dressingscombined with 2％chlorhexidine wipe bathing. Incidence of CLABSI were compared between the two groups. Results 4 cases of patients occurred CLABSI in the experimental group and 12 cases occurred CLABSI in the control group, the difference between groups was statistically significant(χ2=3.900,P<0.05). In the experimental group, 311 cases were retained for 3219 catheter-days, and 282 cases in the control group were retained for 2249 catheter-days. Compared with transparent dressings and whole-body warm water bathing, chlorhexidine gluconate gel decreasescombined with 2％ chlorhexidine wipe bath could reduce the morbidity of CLABSIs from 5.3‰(12/2249) to 1.2‰(4/3219). The on onsite time of CLABSI in the experimental group was (12.5 ± 8.23) days, which in the control group was (10.50 ± 6.46) days, the differenceare not statistically significant (t=0.504,P>0.05). Conclusions CHG gel dressings combined with chlorhexidine wipe bathing would be more effective to prevent CLABSI in CRRT.
