Objective Through in vitro experiments,biomechanical data of the transtibial pullout suture(TPS),tendon reconstruction(TR),and tendon reconstruction with suture augmentation(TRS)were collected,so as to evaluate the biomechanical effectiveness of tendon reconstruction for repairing medial meniscus posterior root tear(MMPRT).Methods Eighteen porcine knee joint models were divided into TPS,TR,and TRS groups.Sutures were used to fix the meniscal root in TPS group.Tendons were passed through an incision at the meniscal root in TR group.Tendons were passed through an incision at the meniscal root and secured at tendon-meniscus contact area with additional sutures in TRS group.The sutures and tendons were pulled out through tibial tunnels and fixed at the anteromedial tibia.All groups underwent failure load tests,and ultimate failure load,displacement at failure load,load at clinical failure,stiffness,and failure modes of the samples were recorded.Results The maximum failure load in TPS group was significantly higher than that in TR group(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between TPS group and TRS group(P＞0.05).The maximum failure load in TRS group was significantly higher than that in TR group(P＜0.05).The displacement under failure load in TR group and TRS group was significantly lower than that in TPS group(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between TR group and TRS group(P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the load under clinical failure among the 3 groups(P＞0.05).The stiffness of TRS group was significantly greater than that of TPS group(P＜0.05),but no significant difference was observed between TR group and TPS group,as well as between TR group and TRS group(P＞0.05).All failures were caused by suture or tendon cutting through the meniscus.Conclusions The tendon reconstruction techniques is superior to the TPS in terms of failure displacement and stiffness,while the TRS further enhances the stability of the repair.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and safety of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and collagen stimulators (PCL/PLLA) for various facial aesthetic indications.Methods:This study focused on facial fillers approved and widely used in China, including HA fillers such as Juvéderm?, Restylane?, Belotero?, Fillmed?, and PCL/PLLA such as Ellansé?, L?viselle?, and CureWhite?. A systematic literature search was conducted across both English and Chinese databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang Data, covering the period from database inception to August 24, 2023, to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The characteristics and outcomes of the included RCTs were summarized and analyzed, including efficacy indicators by injection site, patient satisfaction, and safety profiles. Network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed using R software to compare efficacy outcomes, including the 6-month improvement response rate for nasolabial folds (NLF) and the global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS).Results:A total of 38 articles were included. Among them, Juvéderm? was most frequently used as the treatment group (17 out of 38 articles), while Restylane? was the most common comparator (17 out of 38 articles), particularly in studies involving NLF injections (15 out of 16 articles). For collagen stimulators, only 2 studies on Ellansé? were included, both focusing solely on NLF treatment. Quality assessment showed that 34 studies were of medium to high quality, with Juvéderm? accounting for the majority of high-quality studies (11 articles). Based on injection sites, NLF was the most studied area (16 articles), followed by the midface (8 articles), and the remaining 14 articles covered other regions including lips, nose, chin, and infraorbital area. In the NLF region, the 6-month improvement response rate assessed by blinded investigators showed that Juvéderm? showed better outcomes than Restylane? ( RR=1.07, 95% CI: 0.89-1.32), while Belotero? was slightly inferior to Restylane? ( RR=0.97, 95% CI: 0.65-1.44), although the differences were not statistically significant. Subject-reported outcomes showed consistent trends with investigator assessments. For 6-month GAIS improvement, Juvéderm? and Restylane? showed comparable result within the HA filler category ( RR=1.01, 95% CI: 0.71-1.43). The collagen stimulator Ellansé? demonstrated numerically higher values than HA fillers ( RR=1.32, 95% CI: 0.86-2.08). However, none of these differences reached statistical significance. In midface treatments, Juvéderm? had more long-term evidence, with follow-up periods extending up to 24 months. Four studies reported numerically greater volume enhancement with Juvéderm? compared to Restylane?. For other facial areas, Juvéderm? had the most comprehensive clinical evidence, covering the widest range of injection sites. No relevant RCTs were available for collagen stimulators in these regions. Regarding patient satisfaction, 19 studies reported patient-reported outcomes, with Juvéderm? contributing 16 of them, and showing higher satisfaction in 6 head-to-head comparisons with Restylane?. In contrast, collagen stimulators currently lack such evidence. Safety result indicated that HA fillers were generally safe and well tolerated, while safety data for collagen stimulators remain limited due to insufficient high-quality evidence. Conclusion:Among the HA fillers, Juvéderm? has a large quantity and highest quality of clinical studies, and NMA result shows its superior efficacy in NLF. In comparison, the current evidence is still not sufficient to draw a clear conclusion for the PCL/PLLA due to a lack of adequate high-quality clinical evidence regarding its clinical efficacy, PROs, and safety.

Objective To explore the clinical application effects of Chen's pancreatojejunostomy in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods Clinical data of 176 patients who underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy in Xiangyang Central Hospital from January 2019 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the methods of intraoperative pancreatojejunostomy,the patients were divided into two groups,the research group(102 cases)using Chen's pancreatojejunostomy,and the control group(74 cases)using duct-to-mucosa pancreatojejunostomy.The two groups were compared on clinical indicators,including operation time,pancreatojejunostomy time,intraoperative blood loss,incidence of postoperative complications,length of hospital stay,and 30-day postoperative mortality rate.Results All 176 patients successfully underwent laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy.There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in intraoperative blood loss,biochemical leakage,abdominal bleeding,upper gastrointestinal bleeding,delayed gastric emptying,bile leakage,abdominal infection,and 30-day postoperative mortality rate(P＞0.05).The pancreatojejunostomy time[(22.33±5.95)min]and operation time[(334.60±66.42)min]in the study group were significantly shorter than those in the control group[(30.70±5.50)min]and[(414.46±60.96)min],with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Two groups of patients did not develop grade C pancreatic fistula.The incidence of grade B pancreatic fistula in the study group(5.88％)was significantly lower compared to the control group(16.22％),and this difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Additionally,The postoperative hospital stay of the study group patients[(17.10±6.89)days]was significantly shorter than in the control group[(20.88±8.40)days],with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion Chen's pancreatojejunostomy is a feasible,safe,and effective procedure in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy,which can shorten the pancreatojejunostomy time,reduce the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula,and decrease the length of hospital stay.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of wrapping the hepatic artery with the hepatogastric ligament for preventing bleeding of the hepatic artery and its branches following pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD).Methods 194 patients who underwent PD in Xiangyang Central Hospital from January 2017 to November 2024 were enrolled and categorized into two groups based on whether the hepatic artery was enwrapped with the hepatogastric ligament during the operation.The wrapped group consisted of 95 cases where the hepatic artery was wrapped,while the non-wrapped group had 99 cases without such wrapping.Intraoperative parameters(intraoperative blood loss and operative time)and postoperative complications(pancreatic fistula,abdominal cavity infection,biliary fistula,delayed gastric emptying,postoperative bleeding,and bleeding of the hepatic artery and its branches)were compared between the two cohorts.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the independent risk factors for postoperative bleeding.Results PD was accomplished successfully in both groups.There was no remarkable difference in intraoperative indices like blood loss and operative time between the two groups(P＞0.05).Similarly,no significant disparities were noted in postoperative complications such as pancreatic fistula,abdominal infection,biliary fistula,and delayed gastric emptying(P＞0.05).Nevertheless,the incidence of postoperative bleeding in the wrapped group was lower than that in the non-wrapped group(3.16％vs.12.12％,P=0.019),and the incidence of bleeding of the hepatic artery and its branches after surgery was also significantly decreased in the wrapped group(0 vs.10.10％,P=0.004).Logistic regression analysis revealed that the operation time(OR=1.013,P=0.011),pancreatic fistula(OR=9.006,P=0.006)and celiac infection(OR=7.930,P=0.014)are independent risk factors of postoperative bleeding,Hepatogastric ligament encapsulation of hepatic artery was an independent protective factor for postoperative hemorrhage of PD(OR=0.084,P=0.006).Conclusion Wrapping the hepatic artery with the hepatogastric ligament reduces PD postoperative bleeding,especially that of the hepatic artery and its branches,without adding other complications.
