This paper reports a successful limb salvage and fetal preservation in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Zhengzhou Renji Hospital, for a 31-year old pregnant woman who was in the second trimester of pregnancy and suffered a severe destructive injury of left lower limb in July 2019. After thorough debridement and proper fracture fixation, microsurgical and Ilizarove techniques were applied to reconstruct bone and large soft tissue defects as well as the limb functions. Postoperative rehabilitation was conducted. A boy was delivered by cesarean section at 35 weeks. Osteotomy of femur, tibia and fibula and fixation with external fixator were performed at 6 months after surgery. The femoral external fixator was removed at 11 months after surgery, and the calf external fixator was removed at 18 months after surgery. At the 3-year postoperative follow-up, the boy was in good intellectual development, and had good appearance and satisfactory functional recovery of the affected lower limb.

Objective:To analyze the effective and safety of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) at one tertiary center, and to improve the outcomes of RAAA under fast-track protocol.Methods:Nineteen cases of RAAA in the 940th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2014 to December 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. EVAR-fist strategy was employed from the emergency room to the operating room by using fast-track protocol. Preoperative management, anatomic characteristics, choice of anesthesia, operative procedures and postoperative complications were collected and analyzed. Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and hospital mortality were paid special attention.Results:Nineteen cases were undergone EVAR procedures. The age was (73.4 ± 7.4) years old, and the AAA size was (67.8 ± 13.6) mm. Two cases underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation at emergency department. General anesthesia was used in 13 patients and local anaesthesia in 6 patients. Successful stent graft deployment was achieved in all cases. The duration from emergency room to operating room was (84.8 ± 22.4) min. The hospital stay time was (9.7 ± 5.7) d. The hospital mortality was 5/19. The 5 deaths were reviewed: 3 died for multiple organ failure, 1 for irreversible shock, and 1 for ongoing bleeding.Conclusions:Excellent results were confirmed by using EVAR-first strategy for RAAA. The management of hemodynamically unstable state, standardized endovascular procedure, fast-track program and multidiscipline team collaboration were the very important determining factors for the implementation of EVAR. Focused efforts to reduce RAAA mortality are warranted.

Reports a case admitted in the Ward I of Department of Surgery of Zhengzhou Renji Hospital in June 2017. A young child who suffered destructive injury of left forearm, wrist and palm with severed 3rd-5th fingers. Tendon and neurovascular repairs of forearm, wrist and palm were performed with pedicled abdomina flap and the 3rd-5th fingers ectopic replantation in Phase I surgery. In the Phase II surgery, the abdomina flap division was carried out. The replantation of severed fingers after ectopic replantation and the reconstruction of foot defect with free anterolateral thigh flap(ALTF) were carried out in Phase III surgery. In Phase IV surgery, fingers functional reconstruction and foot flap thinning were performed. Four years after surgery, the thumb oppositions to middle, ring and little fingers could be completed, with slightly limitations. The appearance and texture of transferred foot flap were good, and the child could walk and run almost normally.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features of patients with severe dengue (SD) in Guangdong Province, and to improve the understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of SD in China.Methods:The clinical data, laboratory examination and etiological test results of 257 SD cases from 29 dengue fever designated hospitals in Guangdong Province from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2019 were respectively collected. The relevant indicators of the criteria for severe organ involvement were quantified. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors for the development of multiple organ failure in SD patients.Results:Among the 257 SD patients, age was (64.1±20.1) years old, with 65.4%(168/257) of them ≥60 years old, 142 were male and 115 were female. One hundred and fifty-two (59.1%) patients had underlying conditions, including 115(44.7%) patients with hypertension. The clinical manifestations were mainly fever (98.4%(253/257)), fatigue (70.0%(180/257)), cough or expectoration (44.4%(114/257)), lethargy or irritability (39.3%(101/257)), vomiting (30.4%(78/257)), abdominal pain or tenderness (20.6%(53/257)), hepatomegaly (2.3%(6/257)), bleeding tendency (59.5%(153/257)), and pleural effusion or ascites (43.6%(112/257)). Platelet count levels were decreased in 90.9%(231/254) of the cases, and 97.1%(234/241) of patients had normal or decreased hematocrit. The most common of severe manifestations were severe organ involvement (61.1%(157/257)), followed by severe bleeding (37.0%(95/257)) and severe plasma leakage (30.0%(77/257)). Severe organ involvements were more common in the kidney (27.6%(71/257)) and heart (26.8%(69/257)). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio ( OR)=1.051, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.004 to 1.100, P=0.035), hypertension ( OR=5.224, 95% CI 1.272 to 21.462, P=0.022), elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level ( OR=1.002, 95% CI 1.001 to 1.003, P=0.001), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) ( OR=1.050, 95% CI 1.005 to 1.098, P=0.030), and international normalized ratio (INR) ( OR=4.604, 95% CI 1.601 to 13.238, P=0.005) were risk factors for the development of multiple organ failure in SD patients. The detection results of serum samples form 113 SD patients in acute phase showed that dengue virus (DENV)-1 accounted for 89.4%(101/113), DENV-2 accounted for 9.7%(11/113), and DENV-3 accounted for 0.9% (1/113). Conclusions:Elderly and those with co-existing conditions such as hypertension in SD patients in Guangdong Province are more common. Severe organ involvement such as kidney and heart is the main cause of SD. DENV-1 infection is predominant. Significant elevated levels of AST, BUN and INR may be related to a poor prognosis.

A case of a 3-year-old child suffered with severe crush injury to the right forearm and right hand on June, 2017. A comprehensive treatment was conducted with limb salvage, free flap repair and the repair of nerve, vessel and tendon for functional reconstructions followed by rehabilitation therapies. The function and appearance of the injured limb and hand recovered well 3 years after surgery.

Objective To investigate the effect of exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on bone activity of rabbit heterotopic allograft decalcified bone.Methods 140 adult healthy China white rabbits were selected,no limitation with sex,20 rabbits as the donor preparation of allogenic decalcified bone,according to the random number table,the rest was divided into the experimental group (allograft decalcified bone ± VEGF) and the control group (Allograft decalcified bone),each group contained 60 rabbits.For the experimental group,the prepared 1.5 cm long homologous decalcified tibia was placed in rabbit right thigh of rectus femoris and vastus medialis muscle gap near by saphenous artery,and fixed on the femur with two 0.8 mm Kirschner wire.In the vicinity of the skin,implanted an osmotic pump which contain the VEGF solution 200 μl with concentration was 0.5 μg/ml.In the control group,implanted the isometric allograft decalcified bone in rabbit right thigh corresponding parts with the same method.Each group respectively at 0,2,4,6,8,10 weeks to death 10 white rabbits,By specimen observation,HE dyeing observation and detection of type Ⅰ glue protein fluorescence intensity,Analysis the bone activation degree of two groups of bone allograft decalcified.Results Experimental allograft decalcified bone gradually wrapped by connective tissue membrane,its surface appear different size of the pits and gradually increased and become deep,while the control group pits relatively little and shallow.In the experimental group and control group,the fluorescence intensity of type Ⅰ collagen reached its peak respectively at 8 weeks (47.57 ±3.50) and 10 weeks (45.07±6.02),with no statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Rabbit allograft decalcified bone implanted in the muscle clearance with abundant blood supply can be transformed into activated bone after 10 weeks,and after applying exogenous VEGF,allograft decalcified bone can be transformed into activated bone after 8 weeks,the bone activation process obviously speed up.The reaults confirmed the exogenous VEGF can obviously promote the ectopic rabbit bone allograft decalcified bone activation process.

Results: All 12 patients recovered the same lengths of both lower extremities after shortened replantation and limb lengthening. The lengthened segments gained good bone mineralization, bony union was achieved at lengthened segments and broken end of fracture at 7-16 months (mean, 11.3 months). All patients were followed up 6 months to 5 years (mean, 2 years and 5 months). The range of motion of the knee joint were 0-5° (mean, 3°) in hyperextension and 110-140° (mean, 120°) in flexion. Except for 2 cases of ankle arthrodesis, plantar flexion angles were 15-45° (mean, 26°) and dorsiflexion angles were 10-25° (mean, 15°) in the other cases. The plantar sensation was restored to the S 3 + level in 4 cases, S 3 level in 6 cases, and S 2 level in 2 cases. At last follow-up, the affected limb function were excellent in 7 cases, good in 3 cases, fair in 2 cases according to Kofoed functional evaluation criteria.
