BACKGROUND:Ilizarov bone transport is very effective in the treatment of open large tibial bone defects,but there are still complications,among which the difficulty of junction healing is one of the difficult points in treatment. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Ilizarov bone transport combined with antibiotic bone cement on junction healing after operation of open large tibial bone defect. METHODS:Totally 51 patients with open large tibial bone defect(bone defect>4 cm)admitted to Binzhou Medical University Hospital from August 2010 to January 2022 were selected,of which 28 received Ilizarov bone transport alone(control group)and 23 received Ilizarov bone transport combined with antibiotic bone cement treatment(trial group).External fixation time,bone healing time,bone healing index,visual analog scale score during bone removal,bone defect limb function,junction healing and complications at the final follow-up were statistically compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)All the 51 patients were followed up for a mean of(22.53±5.77)months.External fixation time,bone healing time,bone healing index,postoperative infection rate,and non-healing rate of junction were less in the trial group than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in visual analog scale scores at 6 months after the second surgery and in the functional excellence and good rate of limb with bone defect at the final follow-up(P>0.05).(2)These findings indicate that compared with the Ilizarov bone transport alone,Ilizarov bone transport combined with antibiotic bone cement treatment can promote the healing of open tibial fracture junction and increase the rate of bone healing.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and value of interventional treatment of iatrogenic massive vaginal bleed-ing.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 35 patients with postoperative vaginal massive hemorrhage in obstetrics and gynecology who were admitted.Abdominal aorta and bilateral internal iliac arteries angiography and embolization of abnormal vessels were performed under digital subtraction angiography(DS A),and relevant clinical data were recorded and analyzed.Results After interventional treatment,the vaginal bleeding of 33 patients basically stopped within 3 days,and the average interventional operation time was(57.5±17.2)min.The hemoglobin value,hematocrit and blood pressure decreased and the heart rate increased significantly before and after interventional embolization in obstetrics and gynecology,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).There were no sig-nificant changes in hemoglobin value and hematocrit between the completion of interventional embolization and 72 hours after interventional embolization(P＞0.05).The increase of blood pressure and the decrease of heart rate were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Two patients with cesarean section had poor hemostatic effect after interventional embolization,and the bleeding stopped after exploratory laparotomy and hysterectomy.Conclusion Interventional treatment has the advantages of small trauma,simple operation,signifi-cant curative effect,few adverse reactions,and rapid recovery.It plays an important role and clinical value in the diagnosis and treat-ment of iatrogenic vaginal bleeding.

OBJECTIVE:Percutaneous sacroiliac screw internal fixation has become the main surgical procedure for the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures;however,the unassisted closure operation requires high operator experience and repeated fluoroscopy increases the radiation hazard for patients and medical personnel.This article compares the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted versus unassisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw placement for posterior pelvic ring fractures by meta-analysis. METHODS:Computer searches of CNKI,WanFang,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov were conducted from the time of database inception to December 2022.The literature on the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted versus freehand percutaneous sacroiliac screw placement in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures was collected in and outside China.The data were independently screened and extracted by two investigators according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,respectively.The quality of randomized controlled trials was evaluated using Cochrane risk assessment criteria.The quality of included cohort studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software for inclusion metrics.Outcome metrics included operative time,intraoperative bleeding,fluoroscopy time,fluoroscopy frequency,number of holes drilled,Majeed postoperative function score,the excellent and good rates of Matta fracture reduction,the excellent and good rates of Gras screw position,fracture healing time and complications. RESULTS:(1)A total of 13 publications were included,2 were randomized controlled trials both referring to randomized methods,11 non-randomized controlled studies were evaluated for quality of literature according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale,1 scored 8,9 scored 7;and 1 scored 6;the quality of literature was good.A total of 748 patients were included,including 430 in the robot-assisted group and 318 in the freehand group.(2)The results of the meta-analysis showed that the operative time(MD=-28.30,95%CI:-40.20 to-16.40),intraoperative bleeding(MD=-6.36,95%CI:-10.06 to-2.66),intraoperative fluoroscopy time(MD=-12.13,95%CI:-19.54 to-4.72),intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency(MD=-17.39,95%CI:-29.00 to-5.78),number of intraoperative needle drillings(SMD=-9.50,95%CI:-14.27 to-4.73)and the excellent and good rates of Gras screw position(OR=8.65,95%Cl:3.26-22.92)in the robot-assisted group were significantly better than those in the freehand group(P<0.05).(3)In the robot-assisted group,the overall postoperative complication rate was significantly reduced(OR=0.10,95%Cl:0.02-0.48,P<0.05).(4)No significant difference was detected in fracture healing time(MD=-0.08,95%CI:-0.21,0.06),the excellent and good rates of Matta fracture repositioning rate(OR=2.06,95%Cl:0.97-4.39),and Majeed functional score(MD=0.91,95%CI:-0.31-2.13)between both groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSION:Compared with freehand sacroiliac joint nailing,robotic assistance shortens the operative time,reduces intraoperative bleeding,decreases radiation damage to patients and medical staff,improves the excellent and good rate of screw position,and reduces the overall incidence of postoperative complications in patients,but there was no significant improvement in fracture reduction quality,fracture healing time,and postoperative function.In the future,more large-sample,multicenter,and high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed to verify.

Objective:This study aimed to explore the status of radiological Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) among school-aged children in Chamdo City, Tibet, through a 3-year monitoring survey, providing epidemiological evidence for prevention and control strategies.Methods:The target areas for this study were Luolong, Bianba, and Basu counties in Chamdo City, Tibet Autonomous Region, identified as having the most severe historical cases of KBD. Children aged 7-12 years attending school were enrolled as study subjects. Anteroposterior X-ray films of the right-hand were taken, and radiological diagnoses were made based on the "Diagnosis of Kashin-Beck Disease" criteria (WS/T 207-2010). Two experienced researchers independently reviewed the X-rays, and intra- and inter-group consistency were assessed using weighted Kappa values and percentage agreement. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2017 and 2020 to describe the X-ray detection rates of KBD, and logistic regression analysis was employed to construct a predictive model of risk factors for radiological KBD cases.Results:In 2017, a total of 5,711 children aged 7-12 years in Chamdo City, Tibet, participated in the baseline cross-sectional survey (average age 9.2 years, 48.0% female), with 28 cases of radiological KBD. The age- and gender-standardized prevalence rate was 0.527%. In 2020, 6,771 participants (average age 9.3 years, 49.5% female) underwent a second cross-sectional survey, with 9 cases of radiological KBD and a standardized prevalence rate of 0.134%. Logistic regression analysis indicated that older age [ OR=2.439, 95% CI(1.299, 4.580), P=0.006] and female gender [ OR=8.157, 95% CI(1.016, 65.528), P=0.048] were independent risk factors for radiological KBD cases. Conversely, higher residential altitude, under the premise of Tibet's high altitude, was a protective factor [ OR=0.995, 95% CI(0.990, 0.999), P=0.032). Conclusion:The radiographically positive detection rate of KBD among school-aged children in Chamdo City, Tibet Autonomous Region, is at an extremely low level and showing a declining trend, reaching the historical standard in 2020. Considering the absence of positive signs in affected children, it suggests that local KBD has been effectively eliminated.

Objective:To assess causes for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in China using the data of revision TKA in the past 15 years in our single center andcompare the differences in survival time, operation time and blood loss among different revision reasons.Methods:Data of 337 patients (345 knees) with revision TKAs at our institution from January 2007 to December 2021 (15 years) were retrospectively analyzed. The included population consists of 57 males and 288 females. The causes for first revision TKA were identified and compared according to the time of revision surgery as early (up to 2 years) and late revision (more than 2 years). The reason for revision before 2012 and after 2012 was also compared. Furthermore, the differences of survival time, operation time and blood loss among different revision reasons were compared.Results:The most common reasons for revision of knee joints in 345 cases were periprosthetic infection (133 knees, 38.6%), followed by aseptic loosening (97 knees, 28.1%) and joint instability (35 knees, 10.1%). Early revisions were performed in 171 knees (49.6%), while late revisions were performed in 174 knees (50.4%). Periprosthetic infection (96 knees, 56.1%) and aseptic loosening (86 knees, 49.4%) were the most common reasons for early and late revisions, respectively. There were 59 revisions performed before 2012 and 286 revisions performed after 2012, with periprosthetic infection being the main reason for revision in both groups. The percentage of revisions due to infection decreased from 64.4% before 2012 to 33.2% after 2012, and this difference was statistically significant (χ 2=18.790, P<0.001). The proportion of revisions due to aseptic loosening was 15.3% before 2012, which was significantly lower than the proportion of 30.8% after 2012 (χ 2=5.083, P=0.024). The median survival time of the prostheses in the included patients was 30 months, with shorter survival time observed in patients with stiffness, patellar complications, and periprosthetic infection, and longer survival time observed in patients with polyethylene wear and aseptic loosening. There were significant differences in operation time and blood loss among different reasons for revision ( P<0.001). Conclusion:In our specialized arthroplasty center periprosthesis infection was the most common reason for revision. Periprosthesis infection and aseptic loosening needed to be considered for early or late-stage revision. With the development of technique of total knee arthroplasty, the proportion of periprosthesis infection is decreasing, while the incidence of aseptic loosening is increasing.

Objective To observe the effect of deglycerolized red blood cells suspended in MAP on preservation and ex-plore the most effective preservation method.Methods Concentrated red blood cells were prepared by centrifuging 400 mL of whole blood on the third day after collection.40%compound glycerol solution was added using the ACP 215 automatic blood cell analyzer,and the resulting mixture was stored in an ultra-low temperature refrigerator at-65℃for 30 days.After thawing and washing,it was equally separated into two bags.The control group received 0.9%sodium chloride solution,while the experimental group received MAP.Both groups were stored at 2-6℃.Hematological parameters,hemolysis inde-xes and cell metabolism indexes were measured on day 0,1,3,5,7 and 14 after storage.The quality changes of both groups were observed during the 14-day storage period.Results The quality of red blood cells in both groups was assessed through a panel of quality tests,including volume,hemoglobin content,free hemoglobin content,white blood cell residue,glycerin residue and sterility.These results met the Quality Requirements outlined in the"Quality Requirements of Whole Blood and Component Blood"(GB18469-2012),Hematocrit,red blood cell count,Hb recovery rate after washing and MCV meet the detection limit outlined in the"Expert Consensus on Quality Evaluation Indicators for Frozen Red Blood Cells",and the residual amount of platelets exceeds the detection limit(≤1%).There were no significant differences in RBC,Hct,MCV and hemoglobin between the two groups during the 14 day storage period.The level of free hemoglobin,hemolysis rate and K+value increased in both groups over time.Significant differences in free hemoglobin were found on day 3,5,7 and 14 between the two groups(P<0.05).Hemolysis rate was significantly different on days 3,5,7 and 14,while K+value was significantly different only on day 14(P<0.05).On day 14,the osmotic fragility of red blood cells was higher in the control group than in the experimental group(P<0.05);The ATP and pH values of both groups decreased as storage time in-creased,and significant differences in ATP and pH value were found on day 3,5,7 and on day 1,3,5,7 and 14,respec-tively(P<0.05).Conclusion Deglycerolized red blood cells suspended in MAP additive solution can extend the storage period of blood to 7 days.This study provides a reference for the formulation of relevant standards.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Yin-Yang balancing acupuncture plus Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)for post-stroke depression(PSD). Methods:A total of 72 PSD patients were randomized into an acupuncture-Tuina group and a Western medicine group using the random number table method,with 36 cases in each group.The Western medicine group was treated with fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules.The acupuncture-Tuina group was treated with Yin-Yang balancing acupuncture plus Tuina therapy.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks.After treatment,the clinical efficacy was compared,and the changes in Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)score,National Institute of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,serum neurotransmitter levels,and electroencephalogram(EEG)were observed. Results:The total effective rate of the Western medicine group and the acupuncture-Tuina group was 83.3%and 94.4%,respectively.There was a significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups(P<0.05).After treatment,the serum levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),norepinephrine(NE),and dopamine(DA)were higher than those in the same group before treatment,and the intra-group differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).The serum levels of 5-HT,NE,and DA in the acupuncture-Tuina group were higher than those in the Western medicine group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of HAMD and NIHSS in both groups decreased,and the intra-group differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The scores in the acupuncture-Tuina group were lower than those in the Western medicine group,and the differences between the two groups were all statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the EEG diffuse wave[(delta+theta)/(alpha+beta)]ratio(DTABR)and delta/beta ratio(DBR)in both groups decreased,and the intra-group differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The ratios in the acupuncture-Tuina group were lower than those in the Western medicine group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion:Yin-Yang balancing acupuncture plus Tuina therapy has a better efficacy than oral fluoxetine hydrochloride capsules in the treatment of PSD,which can increase the levels of serum 5-HT,DA,and NE,and regulate brain waves.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new combination treatment of vinorelbine and pyrotinib in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and provide higher level evidence for clinical practice. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, single-arm, phase 2 trial conducted at three institutions in China. Patients with HER2-positive MBC, who had previously been treated with trastuzumab plus a taxane or trastuzumab plus pertuzumab combined with a chemotherapeutic agent, were enrolled between March 2020 and December 2021. All patients received pyrotinib 400 mg orally once daily plus vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 intravenously or 60-80 mg/m2 orally on day 1 and day 8 of 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints included the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival, and safety. Results: A total of 39 patients were enrolled. All patients had been pretreated with trastuzumab and 23.1% (n=9) of them had accepted trastuzumab plus pertuzumab. The median follow-up time was 16.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.3 to 27.2), and the median PFS was 6.4 months (95% CI, 4.0 to 8.8). The ORR was 43.6% (95% CI, 27.8% to 60.4%) and the DCR was 84.6% (95% CI, 69.5% to 94.1%). The median PFS of patients with versus without prior pertuzumab treatment was 4.6 and 8.3 months (p=0.017). The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were diarrhea (28.2%), neutrophil count decreased (15.4%), white blood cell count decreased (7.7%), vomiting (5.1%), and anemia (2.6%). Conclusion Pyrotinib plus vinorelbine showed promising efficacy and tolerable toxicity as second-line treatment in patients with HER2-positive MBC.

Objective:To analyze the effectiveness and safety of the second course radiotherapy for unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases.Methods:We retrospectively collected the data of 28 patients with unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases who received the second course radiotherapy at Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute from 2017 to 2023, to analyze the feasibility of re-irradiation.Results:For the 28 patients, the median follow-up time after re-irradiation was 20.2 months. The median time interval between the first- and second-course radiotherapy was 11.1 months. The median biologically effective doses of the first- and second-course radiotherapy were 100 Gy and 96 Gy, respectively. Stereotactic body radiotherapy was administered to 25 patients (89.3%) during the first course and 24 patients (85.7%) during the second course of radiotherapy. The mean equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions to the normal liver was 10.1 Gy in the first-course radiotherapy and 7.9 Gy in the second-course radiotherapy. The complete response rate, partial response rate, and objective response rate after re-irradiation were 54.5%, 18.2%, and 72.7%, respectively. After re-irradiation, the 2-year cumulative local failure rate was 17.0% when calculated based on patients and 15.1% when calculated based on lesions, the 1-year progression-free survival rate was 27.4%, and the 3-year overall survival rate was 46.7%. The second-course radiotherapy was well tolerated, with most patients (75.0%) experiencing grade 1-2 acute adverse reactions and only one case (3.6%) experiencing grade 3 acute adverse events.Conclusions:Second course radiotherapy is an effective and safe treatment approach for selected patients with unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases.

Objective:To analysis the relationship between symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and frailty in older Chinese adults.Methods:In this retrospective study, follow-up data between 2011 and 2015 from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS)were analyzed.Participates over 60 years old were divided into a frailty group, a pre-frailty group, and a normal group, according to the frailty phenotype.Cross-sectional analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between frailty and symptomatic knee osteoarthritis, and the role of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis in the progression of frailty in normal elderly people was further analyzed using a retrospective cohort.Results:In 2011, 5.9% of the elderly were frail and 15.1% of the elderly suffered knee pain.Univariate and multivariate regression analysis indicated that knee pain was a risk factor for frailty( OR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.37-2.61, P<0.01).After a 4 year-follow-up, 41.7% of the normal elderly participants progressed to the frail or pre-frail state.Multivariate regression analysis suggested that knee pain was a risk factor for normal elderly people to enter the frail or pre-frail state( OR: 1.57, 95% CI: 1.00-2.45, P<0.05). Conclusions:Knee pain is one of the important risk factors for the development of frailty in the elderly.Normal elderly people with knee pain are at an increased risk of frailty or pre-frailty in later years.
