Objective:To compare the efficacy of Union Plate combined with robotic placement of infra-acetabular and posterior column screws and common reconstruction plate combined with freehand placement of infra-acetabular and posterior column screws in the treatment of complex acetabular fractures.Methods:The data of 42 patients with complex acetabular fractures treated in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from June 2020 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 22 patients were treated with Union Plate combined with robotic placement of posterior column screws and infra-acetabular screws (Union Plate robot group). 20 cases were treated with common reconstruction plate combined with posterior column screw and infra-acetabular screw fixation by hand (reconstruction plate freehand group). The Union Plate robot group included 16 males and 6 females, aged 43.7±11.6 years (range, 24-67 years). Letournel-Judet classification: 14 cases of double-column fractures, 5 cases of anterior column with posterior semi-transverse fractures, 3 cases of "T" -shaped fractures. There were 15 males and 5 females in the reconstruction plate freehand group, aged 42.9±12.0 years (range, 22-66 years). Letournel-Judet classification: 15 cases of double-column fractures, 3 cases of anterior column with posterior semi-transverse fractures, 2 cases of "T" -shaped fractures. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, frame screw placement time, fracture healing time, perfect frame screw placement rate (grade 0 rate) assessed according to the Lonstein criteria, reduction quality assessed according to the Matta criteria, the modified Merle d'Aubign-Postel score and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:All 42 patients were followed up for 10 to 30 months, with an average of 13 months. The fracture healing time was 3.4±0.4 months in the Union Plate robot group and 3.6±0.4 months in the reconstruction plate freehand group, with no statistical significance ( t=2.179, P=0.035). The operative time and intraoperative blood loss of the Union Plate robot group were 138.3±30.7 min and 735.7±159.8 ml, respectively, which were lower than 163.9±48.7 min and 843.5±181.1 ml in the reconstruction plate freehand group. The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times of the Union Plate robot group were 19.9±3.2 min and 17.1±4.9 times, respectively, which were less than 42.5±6.7 min and 45.4±4.9 times of the reconstruction plate freehand group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). According to the Lonstein evaluation, there were 42 cases of class 0 and 2 cases of class I in the Union Plate robot group, and the perfect frame screw placement rate was 96%(42/44). There were 30 cases of grade 0, 8 cases of grade I and 2 cases of grade II in the reconstruction plate freehand group, and the perfect frame screw placement rate was 75%(30/40). There was significant difference between the two groups (χ 2=7.426, P=0.024). According to the Matta criteria, 15 cases of Union Plate robot group were excellent, 4 cases were good, and 3 cases were poor, with an excellent and good rate of 86%(19/22). In the reconstruction plate free hand group, 13 cases were excellent, 4 cases were good, and 3 cases were poor, with an excellent and good rate of 85%(17/20). There was no significant difference between the two groups (χ 2=0.048, P=0.976). At the last follow-up visit, the modified Merle d'Aubign-Postel score of the Union Plate robot group was 16.9±1.7 points and that of the reconstruction plate freehand group was 16.5±2.2 points, with no statistical significance ( t=0.593, P=0.557). In the Union Plate robot group, wound fat liquefaction and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury occurred in 1 case, the complication rate was 9%(2/22). There were 4 cases of fat liquefaction, 1 case of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury, and 1 case of traumatic hip arthritis in the reconstruction plate freehand group. The complication rate was 30%(6/20), and the difference in complication rate was not statistically significant (χ 2=1.769, P=0.183). Conclusions:The clinical efficacy of Union Plate combined with robotic placement of posterior column screws and infra-acetabular screws in the treatment of complex acetabular fractures is comparable to that of reconstruction plate combined with freehand placement of posterior column screws and infra-acetabular screws. However, the use of Union Plate combined with robotic placement of frame screws can shorten the operative time and the time of frame screw placement. The amount of intraoperative blood loss and intraoperative fluoroscopy times were reduced, and the accuracy of frame screw placement was higher.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of acetabular magic hook plates versus quadrilateral area combined plates in treating complicated acetabular fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 44 cases of complicated acetabular fractures treated at the Department of Orthopaedics, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from June 2017 to August 2022. Among these cases, 21 were treated with magic hook plate internal fixation (hook plate group) and 23 with quadrilateral area combined plate internal fixation (combined plate group). In the hook plate group, there were 15 males and 6 females, with an average age of 43.1±11.8 years. According to the Letournel-Judet classification, there were 13 double-column fractures, 5 anterior column with posterior semi-transverse fractures, and 3 T-type fractures. Additionally, 8 cases were classified as B2.2 type, 5 as C1 type, 4 as C2 type, and 4 as C3 type; 15 cases were APQ1 type and 6 were APQ2 type. In the combined plate group, there were 16 males and 7 females, with an average age of 41.7±12.8 years. This group included 15 double-column fractures, 6 anterior column with posterior semi-transverse fractures, and 2 T-type fractures. Additionally, there were 8 cases of B2.2 type, 6 cases of C1 type, 4 cases of C2 type, and 5 cases of C3 type; 15 cases were APQ1 type and 8 were APQ2 type. Comparative analyses included operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, Matta standard assessment, modified Merle d'Aubign-Postel scores, and postoperative complications.Results:All 44 patients were followed up for 10 to 24 months, with an average follow-up of 14 months. The acetabular fractures healed in all cases. The healing time was 3.6±0.9 months for the hook plate group and 3.7±0.9 months for the combined plate group, with no significant difference between the groups ( t=0.549, P=0.586). The hook plate group had an operative time of 138.3±30.7 minutes and intraoperative blood loss of 735.7±159.8 ml, compared to 163.9±48.7 minutes and 843.5±181.1 ml, respectively, in the combined plate group, both of which were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The reduction quality was excellent in 13 cases, good in 5 cases, and poor in 3 cases in the hook plate group, with an excellent and good rate of 86% (18/21). In the combined plate group, the reduction quality was excellent in 13 cases, good in 6 cases, and poor in 4 cases, with an excellent and good rate of 83% (19/23), showing no significant difference between the groups (χ 2=0.143, P=0.931). The modified Merle d'Aubign Postel scores of the hook plate group were 13.8±2.2 points, 15.3±2.5 points and 16.7±1.8 points at 3 months, 6 months and the last follow-up, respectively, and the combined plate group were 13.1±1.9 points, 14.6±2.1 points and 16.4±2.0 points, respectively ( P>0.05). However, both groups showed statistically significant improvements in hip function over time ( F=9.658, P<0.001; F=16.195, P<0.001). Wound fat liquefaction and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury occurred in one case each in both groups. In the combined plate group, there were 3 cases of incision fat liquefaction, 2 cases of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury, and 1 case of traumatic hip arthritis. No other complications such as incision infection, iliac vascular injury, or loss of internal fixation were observed in either group. Conclusion:Both magic hook plate fixation and quadrilateral area combined plate fixation are safe and effective for treating complex acetabular fractures. However, magic hook plate fixation offers advantages in reducing operative time and intraoperative blood loss, thereby simplifying and enhancing the safety of the procedure.

Objective:To establish a scientific and comprehensive evaluation index system for teaching ability of dental specialist nurses, providing a basis for the selection and assessment of dental nursing instructors.Methods:Based on literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, and group discussions, preliminary evaluation indicators were formulated. From February to April 2023, the Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of consultation with 27 experts from six provinces and municipalities in China to determine the evaluation index system for the teaching ability of dental specialist nurses. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to determine the weights of each indicator and its combined weight.Results:The authority coefficient of 27 experts was 0.895. In the two rounds of expert consultation, the effective response rates of the questionnaire were all 100% (27/27), and the Kendall harmony coefficients of various indicators were 0.179 to 0.240 and 0.200 to 0.261 respectively ( P<0.01). The final evaluation index system for teaching ability of dental specialist nurses was formed, including six primary indicators, 15 secondary indicators, and 71 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The evaluation index system for teaching ability of dental specialist nurses has a reasonable structure, a scientific and rigorous construction process, and can provide a theoretical basis for the allocation of dental specialist human resources and nursing training assessment.

Objective:To comprehensively and systematically retrieve domestic and international research on nurse-initiated protocolized weaning in adult mechanically ventilated patients, clarify its outcome indicators and effectiveness in clinical practice, and identify influencing factors in its implementation.Methods:Employing the scoping review methodology of Arksey and O'Malley, databases in both English and Chinese were systematically searched. Literature was selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, with two researchers independently screening, organizing, and analyzing the articles.Results:Eighteen publications were included: seven interventional studies, four qualitative studies, two cross-sectional studies, two on instrument development, and three reviews. Nurse-initiated protocolized weaning was found to be safe and effective, with common clinical outcome indicators including mechanical ventilation duration, weaning time, and ICU length of stay. Significant barriers included the professional knowledge level of nurses, team cooperation, nurses' personal characteristics, and the healthcare providers' underestimation of patients' clinical symptoms. Continuous care, patient involvement, a supportive nursing culture, and recognition of the nurse's role were facilitators of this treatment.Conclusions:Future research efforts should standardize and refine the intervention measures of nurse-initiated protocolized weaning and conduct large-sample, high-quality studies to provide references for the implementation of nurse-initiated protocolized weaning in China.
