OBJECTIVE: To compare early graft healing between over-the-top (OTT) and anatomic single-bundle (SB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS: A clinical data of 40 patients underwent ACL reconstruction, who admitted between June 2021 and October 2022 and met the selective criteria, was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 20 patients were treated with OTT reconstruction (OTT group) and 20 with SB reconstruction (SB group). There was no significant difference between groups ( P>0.05) in the gender, age, affected side, disease duration, degree of meniscus injury, body mass index, and preoperative International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and KT-2000 measurement. At 3, 6, and 12 months, MRI was performed to measure the signal noise quotient (SNQ) of the proximal end, middle, and distal end of the graft in the two groups, as well as at the corner of the graft with lateral femoral condyle and 1 cm around the femoral fixation point in the OTT group, to observe the degree of graft healing. Before operation and at 3, 6, and 12 months, the knee function and pain were evaluated by IKDC score, Lysholm score, and VAS score. Before operation and at 12 months after operation, the KT-2000 measurement was taken to evaluation the knee joint stability. RESULTS: All operations were successfully completed in both groups and the incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 12-15 months (mean, 12.9 months), with no significant difference in the follow-up time between groups ( P>0.05). After operation, the IKDC score, VAS score, and Lysholm score improved gradually over time in both groups, with significant differences between different time points ( P<0.05). The differences between groups at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation were not significant ( P>0.05). The anterior and posterior stability of the knee joint improved significantly in both groups at 12 months after operation, and the difference in KT-2000 measurements was significant when compared with the preoperative value ( P<0.05), but the difference of pre- and post-operation between groups was not significant ( P>0.05). At 3, 6, and 12 months after operation, MRI showed that the differences in the SNQ of the proximal end and middle of the grafts between the two groups were not significant ( P>0.05), and the SNQ of distal end was significantly higher in the SB group than in the OTT group ( P<0.05). At each time point, grafts in the OTT group had the highest SNQ at the corner and the lowest at the fixation point, and the differences were significant compared to the other sites ( P<0.05). In the two groups, except for the fixation point, the SNQ of the remaining sites were highest at 6 months and lowest at 12 months ( P<0.05). In addition, there were significant differences in SNQ between the different sites of grafts ( P<0.05), and the SNQ was lowest at proximal end and highest at distal end. At last follow-up, the knee grafts in both groups were in good shape and no graft necrosis or loosening of the internal fixation was observed. CONCLUSION The knee joint function and graft healing after OTT reconstruction of ACL are similar to those of SB reconstruction, but it should be noted that the healing at the corner of the graft is slower.

Objective To explore the brain damage of SD rats under different time points of hypobaric hypoxia exposure.Methods A rat high-altitube cerebral edema(HACE)model was constructed by simulating an altitude of 6 000 m in a hypobaric hypoxia animal experimental chamber.Thirty-six SD male rats were randomly divided into the control group and the hypobaric hypoxia exposure 3,7 and 14 d groups,with 9 rats in each group.Except for the control group,the rats in each group were continuously exposed to hypobaric hypoxia for 3,7,and 14 d.At the end of the modeling period,serum was collected by blood sampling via the abdominal aorta,and brain tissue samples were taken.The wet-to-dry ratio(W/D)of brain tissue was calculated,and the levels of relevant oxidative enzymes in serum and brain tissue were measured.The expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)and aquaporin 4(AQP4)mRNAs in brain tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results The W/D of brain tissues in the control group and the group exposed to hypobaric hypoxia for 3,7 and 14 d were 4.46±0.12,4.98±0.16,5.07±0.18 and 4.95±0.07;the superoxide dismutase contents were(111.86±2.45),(90.73±1.48),(79.64±2.56)and(55.33±1.45)U·g-1;the glutathione contents were(126.91±5.18),(125.26±1.53),(56.20±2.17)and(122.73±1.78)μg·mL-1;the malondialdehyde contents were(230.94±2.00),(362.65±3.28),(407.34±3.47)and(237.50±1.59)nmol·g-1;the relative expression levels of HIF-1 α mRNA were 1.00±0,2.99±0.49,4.72±0.49 and 1.91±0.28;the relative expression levels of AQP4 mRNA were 1.00±0,2.62±0.34,8.38±0.84 and 5.27±0.42,respectively.Statistically significant differences were found between the above indexes in the 3,7 and 14 d of hypobaric hypoxia exposure group compared with the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Different time of hypobaric hypoxia exposure can up-regulate the expression of AQPs proteins in HACE rats and cause the disruption of the blood-brain barrier,and the HACE model constructed in the hypobaric hypoxia chamber with 6 000 m intervention for 7 d was more stable.

BACKGROUND:For patients with anterior cruciate ligament re-rupture after reconstruction with abnormally increased posterior slope of the tibial plateau,anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction combined with anterior closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy was performed.However,there is a lack of precise tools for osteotomy.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effectiveness of three-dimensional(3D)printed accurate osteotomy template in anterior cruciate ligament revision for patients with excessive posterior slope.METHODS:The medical records of 30 patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament revision combined with anterior closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy were retrospectively collected and divided into two groups according to the operation method.The trial group(n=15)was assisted by 3D printing osteotomy guide plate.The control group(n=15)was conventional surgery.The osteotomy time,fluoroscopy times,intraoperative and 24 hours postoperative blood loss,preoperative and 3 months postoperative tibiofemoral anatomical angle,medial proximal tibial anatomical angle,posterior slope,the difference between planned posterior slope correction angle and actual correction angle,and KT-2000 side-to-side difference before operation,3 and 24 months after operation were compared between the two groups.Lachman test and Pivot shift test were performed before operation,immediately after operation,and 24 months after operation.International Knee Documentation Committee score and Lysholm score were performed before operation,3 and 24 months after operation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The osteotomy time,fluoroscopy times,and blood loss during operation and 24 hours after operation in the trial group were significantly less than those in the control group(P＜0.05).(2)The posterior slope of the two groups decreased significantly after operation.There was no significant change in tibiofemoral anatomical angle and medial proximal tibial anatomical angle after operation.The difference between preoperative planned and postoperative actual posterior slope degree in the trial group(0.64±0.41)° was smaller than that in the control group(2.18±0.54)°,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).(3)The KT-2000 side-to-side difference was significantly reduced in both groups after surgery(P＜0.05).At 3 and 24 months after operation,there was no significant difference in KT-2000 side-to-side difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The Lachman test and Pivot shift test of the two groups were negative immediately after operation,3 and 24 months after operation.(4)The International Knee Documentation Committee and Lysholm scores of the two groups increased significantly after surgery(P＜0.05).At 3 months after operation,the International Knee Documentation Committee score and Lysholm score of the trial group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).At 24 months after operation,there was no significant difference in International Knee Documentation Committee score and Lysholm score between the two groups(P＞0.05).(5)In conclusion,with the assistance of 3D printing accurate osteotomy guide plate,anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction combined with anterior closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy is easier to operate,with shorter operation time,fewer fluoroscopy times,less intraoperative and postoperative blood loss,and faster recovery of knee joint function after operation,which has high clinical application value.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical diagnostic value of knee MRI at 90° flexed position for Ramp lesions of medial meniscus. METHODS: A total of 228 patients with knee pain as the main complaint who were admitted between September 2021 and September 2023 was selected as the research subjects, of which 51 patients met the selection criteria and were enrolled in the study. There were 31 males and 20 females with an average age of 38.6 years (range, 15-67 years). Body mass index was 17.2-28.7 kg/m ² (mean, 23.9 kg/m ²). There were 25 cases of left knee and 36 cases of right knee. The time from injury to admission was 0.1-14.3 weeks (mean, 2.1 weeks). Preoperative knee MRI at fully extended position (knee extension position) and 90° flexed position (knee flexion position) were performed to determine the presence of irregular signs at the posterior edge of the medial meniscus, and PHMM fluid high signal [i.e. complete fluid filling between the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (PHMM) and the capsule margin]. Findings obtained under arthroscopy served as the "gold standard" to analyze the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of MRI at knee extension and flexion positions for the two specific signs of Ramp lesion. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients (41.2%) were diagnosed with Ramp lesions by using arthroscopy, including 1 case of Thaunat type Ⅰ, 2 cases of type Ⅱ, 6 cases of type Ⅲ, 7 cases of type Ⅳ, and 5 cases of type Ⅴ. The positive rates of irregular signs at the posterior edge of the medial meniscus on MRI at knee extension and flexion positions were significantly different from the diagnosis of Ramp injury under arthroscopy ( P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV, and NPV of MRI in the diagnosis of irregular signs were 76.1%, 60.0%, 66.7%, 57.1%, and 78.3% respectively at knee extension position, and 85.7%, 73.3%, 78.4%, 69.2%, and 88.0% respectively at knee flexion position. The positive rates of PHMM fluid high signal on MRI at knee extension and flexion positions were significantly different from the diagnosis of Ramp injury under arthroscopy ( P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV, and NPV of MRI in diagnosing PHMM fluid high signal were 38.1%, 100%, 74.5%, 100%, and 69.8% respectively at knee extension position, and 85.7%, 100%, 94.1%, 100%, and 90.9% respectively at knee flexion position. CONCLUSION Knee MRI at 90° flexed position improves the diagnostic performance of the detection of medial meniscal Ramp lesions compared with MRI at fully extended position.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of over-the-top reconstruction combined with the modified Lemaire technique in the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries with pivot-shift positive.Methods:From March 2020 to October 2021, a total of 46 patients with ACL injury and pivot-shift test grade II or above were admitted to Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Dalian University. There were 28 males and 18 females, aged 28.0±10.5 years (range, 15-45 years). All cases were unilateral, including 17 cases of left knee and 29 cases of right knee. The pivot-shift test showed that 30 cases were grade II and 16 cases were grade III, and the cause of injury was sports injury. The semitendinosus muscle and gracilis muscle were harvested, and the ACL was reconstructed with the over-the-top combined modified Lemaire technique. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score and KT-2000 side-to-side difference before and after operation were compared.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 26.6±2.3 months (range, 24-28 months). The Lysholm scores of the patients at 3 months and 24 months after operation were 73.6±4.3 and 91.6±2.8, which were higher than those before operation (58.5±4.6), and the difference was statistically significant ( F=18.351, P<0.001). The IKDC scores of patients at 3 months and 24 months after operation were 59.0±2.0 and 91.8±3.2, respectively, which were higher than those before operation 50.3±2.8, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=17.290, P<0.001). The side-to-side difference of KT-2000 was 1.7±0.8 mm and 1.5±0.4 mm at 3 and 24 months after operation, respectively, which was lower than that before operation (5.9±1.1 mm), and the difference was statistically significant ( F=14.192, P<0.001). At 24 months after operation, 3 patients had pivot shift test grade I and 4 patients had Lachman test grade I, but they complained of good knee stability and did not receive further treatment. At the last follow-up, there were no complications such as incision and intra-articular infection, deep vein thrombosis, knee stiffness, quadriceps musculus ossificans myositis, and reconstruction ligament rupture. All patients returned to sports with an average time of 15.7±2.6 months (range, 12-24 months). Conclusion:Over-the-top reconstruction combined with the modified Lemaire technique for the treatment of ACL injury with positive pivot shift test effectively improves knee function and promotes the patient's return to sports, with a low incidence of surgical complications.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of meniscus reconstruction using autologous peroneus longus tendon grafts.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 patients (12 males, 8 females) with a mean age of 37.8±5.7 years (range, 31-47 years) and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 26.3±5.8 kg/m 2 (range, 20.1-31.3 kg/m 2) who underwent meniscal reconstruction with autologous peroneus longus tendon in Affiliated Xinhua Hospital of Dalian University from June 2020 to June 2022. A control group of 20 patients (15 males, 5 females), with a mean age of 39.1±6.2 years (range, 32-47 years) and a mean BMI of 25.6±5.4 kg/m 2 (range, 20.2-32.7 kg/m 2), underwent partial meniscectomy during the same period. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. The morphology and signal intensity of grafts, Recht grading for cartilage damage, and the need for secondary arthroscopy were also evaluated. Results:The mean follow-up duration was 24.3±4.3 months for the tendon graft group and 24.2±3.6 months for the partial meniscectomy group. At 3 and 6 months postoperatively, the partial meniscectomy group demonstrated superior knee function scores compared to the tendon graft group ( P<0.05). Similarly, VAS were lower in the partial meniscectomy group at 3 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), although no significant difference was found at 6 months ( P>0.05). By 12 months postoperatively, differences in pain and function between the two groups were no longer statistically significant ( P>0.05). At 24 months, the tendon graft group exhibited significantly better outcomes in terms of the Lysholm score (84.31±12.20 vs. 72.67±14.18), IKDC score (82.21±10.55 vs. 74.09±11.68), VAS score (2.10±1.74 vs. 3.80±1.81), and KOOS score (85.37±13.14 vs.75.14±17.94) compared to the partial meniscectomy group ( P<0.05). Regarding graft healing, 19 patients in the tendon graft group demonstrated a grade 3 graft-residual meniscus complex at 24 months, significantly improved from 5 patients at 3 months postoperatively. Furthermore, no grafts showed a grade 3 signal intensity at 3 months, while 19 patients showed such improvements by 24 months. MRI at the 24-month follow-up revealed cartilage damage in 7 patients in the tendon graft group and 20 patients in the partial meniscectomy group, with severe cartilage damage (Recht grade>II) observed in 1 patient in the tendon graft group and 7 patients in the partial meniscectomy group. All 20 patients in the tendon graft group achieved minimal clinically significant differences by 24 months, and 4 of them underwent secondary arthroscopy, which revealed vascularization between the graft and residual meniscal tissue. Conclusion:The use of the peroneus longus tendon for meniscal reconstruction reduces knee pain, enhances knee function, and effectively fills the tibiofemoral joint space while protecting the articular cartilage through graft remodeling.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) and investigate the risk factors associated with its coexistence with gastric cancer.Methods:Data of 149 patients with pathologically confirmed GCP at Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University between January 2015 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed for basic information, clinical data, lesion manifestations and pathological results, of which 106 were pathologically confirmed GCP after endoscopic resection and 43 others were pathologically confirmed GCP after surgical procedures. Among 149 patients, 56 were in the simple GCP group, and 93 in the GCP combined with gastric cancer group.Results:In the simple GCP group of 56 patients, 62.5% (35/56) were male and the mean age was 58.8 years. The predominant site of involvement was in the upper gastric segment (cardia and fundus) (51.8%,29/56), with manifestations primarily of the polypoid bulge type (41.1%,23/56) and submucosal bulge type (35.7%,20/56). Clinical symptoms were mostly atypical. In the group where GCP was combined with gastric cancer (93 cases), males accounted for 90.3% (84/93), the median age was 66.9 years, the upper gastric segment was predominantly affected (75.3%, 70/93), with differentiated cancer being the most common histological type (91.4%, 85/93). For 76 cases of early gastric cancer combined with GCP, mucosal lesions were the main presentation (73.7%, 56/76) with atypical clinical symptoms. Furthermore, in 17 cases of progressive gastric cancer combined with GCP, the manifestations were mainly bulging ulcers (88.2%, 15/17), and most of them were referred to the doctor because of abdominal pain and black stools (100.0%, 17/17). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that being male ( P=0.004, OR=4.411, 95% CI: 1.621-12.002), age ( P=0.001, OR=1.085, 95% CI: 1.036-1.136) and endoscopic manifestations of mucosal lesions ( P<0.001, OR=5.080, 95% CI: 2.162-11.939) were risk factors for GCP combined with gastric cancer, but involvement of the upper gastric segment was not related to combination with gastric cancer ( P=0.430, OR=0.707, 95% CI: 0.299-1.672). Among 106 patients with endoscopic resection, 57 cases of early gastric cancer combined with GCP had a median lesion length of 2.50 cm; 49 cases of GCP alone had a median lesion length of 1.20 cm, with significant difference ( Z=-5.503, P<0.001). All upper gastric GCP combined with early gastric cancer in endoscopically treated patients were cancers of the cardia, most of which were superficial elevation with the concave type (0-Ⅱa+Ⅱc) (44.7%, 21/47). 75.4% (43/57) patients with gastric cancer combined with GCP were graded as curative resection (eCuraA) after endoscopic surgery , and none of those who had additional surgery after endoscopic surgery had lymph node metastasis. There were 8 cases with history of gastric surgery, 7 of esophageal cancer, and 10 of multiple neoplastic gastric lesions in the 149 patients with GCP. Conclusion:GCP often occurs in the upper gastric region and is not inherently associated with the presence of gastric cancer. However, when coexisting with gastric cancer, it tends to affect elderly men, present with mucosal lesions of a differentiated histological type, and may be accompanied by esophageal or other gastric cancers. Notably, GCP is frequently identified as para-cancerous lesion, and endoscopic treatment emerges as a safe and effective approach, characterized by a high rate of curative endoscopic resections and a low incidence of lymphatic metastases.
