BACKGROUND:Numerous scholars have previously researched certain greater tuberosity fractures and the procedures used to treat them.Few researchers,however,have studied the comminuted split fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus(Liu-Gang type IV)with rotator cuff tear in great detail. OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical therapeutic effect of open repair position modified calcaneal plate combined with suture anchors and proximal humeral internal locking system(PHILOS)plate in the treatment of comminuted fracture of split-type greater tuberosity of humerus combined with rotator cuff tears(Liu-Gang type IV). METHODS:Case data of 30 patients with comminuted fracture of split-type greater tuberosity of humerus combined with rotator cuff tears(Liu-Gang type IV)from May 2012 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into the modified calcaneal plate combined with suture anchor group(group A)and the PHILOS with#2 Johnson group(group B),with 15 cases in each group.Intraoperative blood loss,surgical time,and incision length of all patients were recorded.Pain visual analog scale score,Constant-Murley score,as well as shoulder joint abduction,forward flexion,external rotation,and dorsal expansion activities during the last follow-up(>1 year)were evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The surgical incision length and operation time were shorter,and blood loss was less in group A than those in group B(P<0.05).(2)No significant difference in visual analog scale score and Constant-Murley score was detected between the two groups(P>0.05).(3)During the last follow-up,forward flexion in group A was better than that in group B(P<0.05).No significant difference in abduction,external rotation,and dorsal expansion was determined between group A and group B(P>0.05).(4)In terms of complications,there was 1 case of shoulder joint pain and discomfort in group A(7%),2 cases of subacromial impingement syndrome,2 cases of upward movement of nodules,and 2 cases of shoulder joint pain(40%)in group B.There were significant differences in complication rates between the two groups(P=0.031).(5)In summary,the modified calcaneal plate combined with suture anchors in the treatment of comminuted fracture of split-type greater tuberosity of humerus combined with rotator cuff tears(Liu-Gang type IV)could better restore the forward flexion function of the shoulder joint and has a small incision,less blood loss,shorter operation time and fewer complications.

Objective:To investigate the effects of respiratory mechanics-guided sedation strategy on diaphragm function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients treated with mechanical ventilation (MV).Methods:A prospective study was conducted. Patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) received invasive MV who were admitted to the Affiliated Huxi Hospital of Jining Medical University from May 2020 to May 2021 were enrolled. The patients were divided into observational group and control group by random number table method. All patients were intubated for MV, and received bronchodilators, glucocorticoid, anti-infectives, expectorant, nutritional support, analgesia and sedation. The sedatives were dexmedetomidine combined with propofol, and the analgesics were sufentanil in both groups. Respiratory mechanics monitoring was performed every 6 hours in the observational group, and the depth of sedation was adjusted according to the parameters of respiratory mechanics: when airway resistance (Raw) > 20 cmH 2O·L -1·s -1, deep sedation was given to maintain Richmond agitation-sedation scale (RASS) ≤ -3; when the Raw was 10-20 cmH 2O·L -1·s -1, the initial depth of sedation maintained to reach the RASS score of -2-0; when Raw < 10 cmH 2O·L -1·s -1, withdrawn the sedation, or given light sedation, and maintained the RASS score of -2-0. While the control group received light sedation. The patients' diaphragmatic excursions (DE) was measured by bedside ultrasound, tidal volume (VT) and respiratory rate (RR) were recorded, and the diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index (D-RSBI, D-RSBI = RR/DE) and diaphragmatic excursion efficiency (DEE, DEE = VT/DE) were calculated. The differences in DE, D-RSBI, and DEE before and 3 days and 5 days of treatment between the two groups were compared. The difference in the RASS score within 3 days of sedation between the two groups was compared. The differences in the duration of MV and 28-day mortality between the two groups were compared. Results:A total of 96 patients were selected. Six patients were excluded due to delirium or the duration of MV shorter than 3 days. Finally, 90 patients were enrolled, with 46 in the observational group, and 44 in the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in DE, D-RSBI or DEE before treatment between the two groups. After treatment, D-RSBI in both groups was gradually decreased, and DEE was gradually increased with time. The D-RSBI at 3 days and 5 days of treatment in the observational group were significantly lower than those in the control group (times·min -1·mm -1: 1.73±0.48 vs. 1.96±0.35 at 3 days, 1.45±0.64 vs. 1.72±0.40 at 5 days, both P < 0.05), and DEE were significantly higher than those in the control group (mL/mm: 19.7±4.3 vs. 17.1±3.9 at 3 days, 25.8±5.6 vs. 22.9±5.4 at 5 days, both P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in DE at all time points between the two groups. The RASS scores within 2 hours of sedation in the observational group were significantly lower than those in the control group (1 day: -3.78±0.92 vs. -2.34±0.68, 2 days: -2.87±1.04 vs. -2.43±0.79, both P < 0.05), while no statistical difference at 3 days was found between the two groups. The duration of MV in the observational group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (days: 5.78±2.01 vs. 6.84±2.27, P < 0.05). One patient died in each of the control group and the observational group, and there was no significant difference in the 28-day mortality between the two groups (2.3% vs. 2.2%, P > 0.05). Conclusion:For AECOPD patients undergoing MV, respiratory mechanics-guided sedation strategy can reduce D-RSBI, increase DEE, shorten the duration of MV, and have a certain protective effect on the diaphragm.

Objective:To observe the effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with Meek microskin grafts in repairing the wounds of limbs in severely burned patients, and to explore the mechanism.Methods:The prospective controlled research method was used. From September 2016 to January 2020, 16 patients aged 18-69 years, with extensive deep burns, including 9 males and 7 females, who met the selection criteria were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of the 909th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA. The bilateral limbs with similar injury in 8 patients were divided into Meek skin grafting+PRP group and Meek skin grafting alone group according to the random number table; in the other 8 patients, the limbs with severer injury were included in Meek skin grafting+PRP group, and the limbs on the other side were included in Meek skin grafting alone group. The wounds of affected limbs in the two groups were treated correspondingly. On post surgery day (PSD) 10, the survival and fusion of Meek microskin grafts were observed and the survival rate and fusion rate were calculated; the histological morphology and the angiogenesis of the basal tissue of Meek microskin graft were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining, respectively, with the microvessels being counted. Data were statistically analyzed with paired sample t test. Results:On PSD 10, the wounds of affected limbs in Meek skin grafting+PRP group were dry, and most of the transplanted skin grafts were closely adhered to the basal tissue; while a small amount of exudate could be found in the wounds of affected limbs in Meek skin grafting alone group, and a small part of the transplanted microskin grafts fell off or poorly attached to the basal tissue. On PSD 10, the survival rate and the fusion rate of Meek microskin grafts in the wounds of affected limbs in Meek skin grafting+PRP group were (94±3)% and (86±4)%, which were significantly higher than (89±4)% and (79±4)% of Meek skin grafting alone group, respectively ( t=3.633, 4.229, P<0.01). On PSD 10, the basal epidermis was closely connected with dermis of Meek microskin grafts in the wounds of affected limbs in Meek skin grafting+PRP group, with more inflammatory cell infiltration and active microvascular hyperplasia, while the basal epidermis was less closely connected with dermis of Meek microskin grafts in the wounds of affected limbs in Meek skin grafting alone group, with obvious degeneration of collagen fibers under the dermis, less inflammatory cell infiltration, and slightly poor microvascular hyperplasia. On PSD 10, the distribution of microvessels in basal tissue of Meek microskin grafts in the wounds of affected limbs in Meek skin grafting+PRP group were densely clustered, while the distribution of microvessels in Meek skin grafting alone group were scattered, sparse, and dotted. On PSD 10, the number of microvessels in basal tissue of Meek microskin grafts in the wounds of affected limbs in Meek skin grafting+PRP group was 36±6 in each 400-fold visual field, which was significantly more than 29±7 of Meek skin grafting alone group ( t=2.671, P<0.05). Conclusions:Autologous PRP can effectively promote the survival rate and fusion rate of Meek microskin grafts in the wounds of limbs after escharectomy in severely burned patients by promoting angiogenesis at the base of Meek microskin grafts.

Objective To investigate the effect of early mobilization on diaphragmatic function in patients with mechanical ventilation (MV). Methods Sixty chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation (AECOPD) patients with respiratory failure (RF) and underwent MV admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Huxi Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from January 2016 to January 2017 were enrolled. The patients were divided into treatment group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30) by randomly number table method. The two groups were given analgesia, sedation, MV, antibiotics, nutritional support and other treatments. An implementation plan was developed based on the clinical practice of pain, irritability and delirium in adult patients (PAD) with ICU, while the treatment group was given early mobilization (such as joint activity, stand to the bed, 3 times a day). The diaphragmatic thickness at the end of expiration (DTee), diaphragmatic thickness at the end of inspiration (DTei) and diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF) were measured by bedside ultrasonography before and 24 hours, 48 hours, 3 days and 5 days after treatment respectively. Results There were no significant differences in the parameters of the diaphragm before treatment between the two groups. In the control group, DTee was gradually decreased at 5 days after treatment and was significantly lower than that before treatment (cm: 0.26±0.06 vs. 0.28±0.08, t = 3.045, 1 = 0.005). While there was no significant change in DTee in the treatment group. There was no significant difference in DTee between the two groups at different time points after treatment. DTei and DTF were significantly increased in the two groups after treatment, and reached the peak value at 48 hours; with the prolonged of MV time, DTei and DTF in the control group at 3 days and 5 days were significantly lower than those at 48 hours [DTei (cm): 0.35±0.07, 0.34±0.07 vs. 0.36±0.08; DTF: (29.29±11.01)%, (28.62±11.97)% vs. (32.48±15.63)%, all 1 < 0.01]; there were no significant changes in the treatment group. DTF in the treatment group at 3 days and 5 days was significantly higher than that in the control groups [(38.53±11.39)% vs. (29.29±11.01)%, (37.27±11.26)% vs. (28.62±11.97)%, both 1 < 0.01]. Conclusion MV can lead to diaphragmatic dysfunction, while early mobilization can delay diaphragmatic atrophy and systolic dysfunction in MV patients.

Objective To construct Cox7a2 fluorescent vector and study its effect on cytochrome C oxidase (COX) activity in mouse Sertoli cell line TM4. Methods The coding region of Cox7a2 was amplified from mouse Sertoli cell line TM4 by RT-PCR. The PCR product was inserted into pEYFP-C1 vector with BamH I and EcoR I restriction site, and confirmed by DNA sequencing. The recombinant fusion protein vector was amplified by transforming into DH5a and transfected into TM4 cells. The protein expression was identified by Western blot. COX activity was measured by spectrophotometer 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after the transfection of recombinant vector into the TM4 cell line. Results The entire coding sequence of Cox7a2 was cloned with 252 bp length. Plasmid pEYFP-C1-Cox7a2 vector was constructed and the positive clones were verified by restriction enzymes digestion and DNA sequencing. The transfection efficiency of the TM4 cell line was about 70% and 37000 D fusion protein was obtained. The COX activities were (0.642±0.051), (0.542±0.049), (0.311±0.021) and (0.216±0.010) U/mg 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after the transfection of recombinant vector in the TM4 cell line. Meanwhile, the COX activities were (0.714±0.064) and (0.653±0.031) U/mg in non-tranfected and naked vector group respectively. Compared with the non-tranfected group, COX activity decreased significantly 12, 24 and 48 h after the transfection. Conclusions The recombint plasmid vector was successfully constructed. Cox7a2 gene has an inhibiting effect on COX activity and may play an important role in the regulation of COX activity in mouse Sertoli cell line TM4.
