OBJECTIVE: To investigate the long-term effectiveness of uncemented allograft-prosthesis composite (APC) for reconstruction of bone defects after proximal femur tumor resection. METHODS: Between June 2007 and March 2014, 21 patients who underwent uncemented APC reconstruction of proximal femur after tumor resection were retrospectively evaluated. There were 9 males and 12 females with an average age of 33.2 years (range, 19-54 years). There were 9 cases of giant cell tumor of bone, 5 cases of osteosarcoma, 4 cases of osteoblastic osteosarcoma, 2 cases of chondrosarcoma, and 1 case of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Thirteen cases of benign bone tumors were all classified as stage 3 by Enneking staging; and 8 cases of malignant bone tumors were classified as grade ⅡB in 7 cases and grade ⅡA in 1 case according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system. Among them, 7 patients underwent reoperation after recurrence, and the rest were primary operations; 8 patients presented with pathological fractures. The preoperative Harris hip score (HHS) and American Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score was 40 (30, 49) and 9.1±3.5, respectively. The length of osteotomy was 80-154 mm, with an average of 110 mm. At 1 year after operation and last follow-up, HHS and MSTS scores were utilized to evaluate the function of hip joint; the gluteus medius strength score was used to evaluation of the hip abduction function. Image examinations were taken at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after operation and every year thereafter to assess the union of allograft-host bone interfaces. Intra- and post-operative complications were also recorded. RESULTS: All patients were followed up 84-163 months (mean, 123.5 months). At 1 year after operation and last follow-up, the HHS and MSTS scores significantly improved when compared with the preoperative scores ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the HHS score, MSTS score, and gluteus medius strength score between the two time points after operation ( P>0.05). Image examination showed that all allograft-host bone interfaces achieved union after 5-10 months (mean, 7.6 months). At last follow-up, all patients had bone resorption, including 11 severe cases, 4 moderate cases, and 6 mild cases; the bone resorption sites included Gruen 1, 2, and 7 regions. Complications included 10 fractures and 1 prosthetic fracture. Local recurrence occurred in 3 patients and pulmonary metastasis in 3 patients. CONCLUSION Uncemented APC is a reliable method for the reconstruction of bone defects after proximal femur tumor resection. It has the good long-term effectiveness and possesses obvious advantages in the union at the bone-bone surface.

Objective:To compare the values of medical image technologies in evaluating the tansperineal laser ablation (TPLA) in canine prostate.Methods:TPLA (3 W/600 J and 3 W/1 200 J) were operated in the prostate of six adult male beagles guided by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). TRUS, transrectal contrast-enhanced ultrasound (TR-CEUS) and multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) were used to evaluate the ablation on the day of TPLA, one week and one month after TPLA. The animals were sacrificed for pathology to calculate the volume of the ablation. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:TRUS could be used to guide and observe the puncture and ablation process during TPLA. TR-CEUS and contrast enhanced MRI showed good consistency in the volume of ablation ( P>0.05). One month after TPLA, the ablation volume were (1.69±0.51)ml vs (1.73±0.36)ml vs (1.52±0.41)ml (3 W/600 J) and (2.23±0.54)ml vs (2.34±0.29)ml vs (2.19±0.34)ml (3 W/1 200 J) measured by the two medical image technologies and pathology, with good consistency ( P>0.05). Conclusions:TRUS can be used to guide and observe the puncture and ablation process during TPLA. TR-CEUS and mpMRI can be used for postoperative evaluation and follow-up of TPLA. The former has advantages of real-time and low price, which can be promoted and applied in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the value of CT radiomics mode in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 179 patients with thyroid nodules confirmed by pathology from May 2017 to August 2018 were retrospectively analyzed in the Affiliated Huaian First People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Among the patients, 89 cases were benign nodules and 90 cases were malignant nodules. All patients underwent unenhanced and enhanced CT scan before operation. The stratified random sampling method was used to divide patients into a training group (143 cases) and a testing group (36 cases) according to a ratio of 8∶2. The A.K software was used to extract 378 imaging omics features based on preoperative CT images, and then Spearman correlation analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis were used for feature selection and model construction. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to verify the model in the training group and the testing group, and the efficacy of imaging omics features to predict benign and malignant thyroid nodules was evaluated.Results:After feature screening, 16 radiomics features were used to construct an identification model between benign and malignant thyroid nodules. In the training group, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.92 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.88-0.97], the sensitivity and specificity were 88.7%, 82.0%, and the diagnostic accuracy of the model was 91.1%. In the testing group, AUC was 0.90 (95 %CI: 0.81-0.98), sensitivity and specificity were 88.5%, 84.6%, and the diagnostic accuracy of the model was 88.2%. Conclusion:The CT radiomics mode has a good diagnostic performance in the identification of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of microwave ablation plus curettage.Methods:Clinical data of a single group of 12 patients admitted to our hospital from June 2015 to June 2019 who underwent microwave ablation for bone metastasis were retrospectively analyzed. There were 7 males and 5 females, with an average age of 59.5±10.1 (range from 43 to 79) years old. Curettage plus bone cement after microwave ablation was performedand when the lesion involved the sacroiliac joint surface and impaired the bearing arch, the internal fixation was performed with plate and screws. 8 among the 12 patients underwent curettage, bone cement and metal internal fixation after microwave ablation. After microwave ablation, and 4 patients underwent curettage and reconstruction with bone cement alone. The patients were followed up aftersurgery. The observational indicators included: patient survival rate, local recurrence rate, perioperative complications, Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, VAS score, SF-36 score, and MSTS function score. VAS scores and SF-36 scores were recorded before surgery, 1 week after surgery and 3 months after surgery.Results:12 patients were followed up for 4-27 months, with an average follow-up time of 14.2 months and a median follow-up time of 9 months. During the follow-up, 7 patients died and 5 survived, with a 6-month survival rate of 81.8%, a 1-year survival rate of 40.9% and a 2-year survival rate of 27.3%. The mean survival time of the dying patients was 8.8 months (5-18 months), and the median survival time was 7 months. Operation time was 101±21 min and intraoperative blood loss was 295±108 ml. During the follow-up period, local recurrence rate was 8.3% (1/12), and the average postoperative time to recurrence was 4 months. There were no complications such as wound nonunion, wound infection, deep infection, vascular nerve heat injury and internal fixation failure. VAS score before surgery was 7.5 (7, 8) points, VAS score 1 week after surgery was 5 (4, 5) points, and VAS score 3 months after surgery was 5 (4, 5.75) points ( P<0.05). Preoperative SF-36 score was 23 (21, 24.75) points, 1 week after surgery SF-36 score was 47 (46, 54) points, and 3 months after surgery SF-36 score was 50.5 (47, 55.25) points ( P<0.05). 3 months after the operation, the MSTS score was 20.5 (16.25, 21.75) points, of which excellent 16.7% (2/12), good 50% (6/12), medium 16.7% (2/12), poor 16.7% (2/12), and the overall excellent and good rate was 66.7% (8/12). Conclusion:Microwave ablation plus curettage for pelvic metastasis of malignant tumor can significantly relieve local pain, rebuild limb function and improve patients' quality of life, and it`s an alternative treatment for pelvic metastases.

Objective: To investigate the effect of caffeine citrate administering at different time on outcome and neurodevelopment of premature infants. Methods: A total of 113 preterm infants with gestational age less than 32 weeks and birth weight less than 1 500 g who were hospitalized and treated in the neonatal intensive care unit from January 2018 to June 2018 were enrolled.According to the time when caffeine citrate treatment was started, they were divided into early treatment group(≤1 days) with 53 infants and late treatment group(1 to 10 days) with 60 infants.A retrospective analysis was performed for their clinical data.The perinatal conditions, treatment process and clinical outcomes of the two groups were compared and the neurological development was followed up at 12 months old. Results: Compared with the late treatment group, the early treatment group had a significantly shorter durations of mechanical ventilation time, oxygen therapy time, hospitalization days and a significantly lower incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, patent ductus arteriosusand intraventricular hemorrhage or periventricular leukomalacia, and there were significant differences between two groups(P<0.05, respectively). The neonatal behavioral neurological assessment score in the early treatment group was higher than that in the late treatment group at 40 weeks of gestational age, and there was significant difference between two groups(P<0.05). The mental developmental index at 3 months of corrected age, the mental developmental index and psychomotor developmental index at 12 months were significantly better in the early treatment group than those in the late treatment group, and there were significant differences between two groups(P<0.05, respectively).
