With the popularity of sports, the number of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in children is increasing year by year. Most ACL injuries in children are tibial avulsion fractures or ACL body tears, seriously affecting the health and sports level of the patients. Due to the special anatomical structure of the patients, unclosed epiphysis makes the diagnosis and treatment of ACL injuries more complex. It is necessary to choose the optimal treatment regimen according to the bone maturity and the type and degree of ACL injuries to reduce the damage to the epiphysis and avoid the impact on the growth and development of the patients. It was treated with non-surgical treatment and then ACL reconstruction when the bones were mature in the past, which could cause secondary meniscus and cartilage damage. In recent years, non-surgical treatment has mainly been indicated for children with low-degree ACL injuries and small demand for exercise. With the increased ratio of early surgical treatment, the patients′ levels of recovery and return to sports after injury have been improved. However, improper surgery may still lead to complications such as growth and development disorders and postoperative re-injuries. Different from traditional ACL reconstruction, personalized diagnosis and treatment regimen of ACL injuries are very important for the patients at different stages of growth and development. For a better understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of ACL injuries in children, the authors reviewed the research progress on the diagnosis and treatment of ACL injuries in children from the aspects of the characteristics, diagnosis and evaluation, treatment methods, etc., hoping to provide a reference for the personalized diagnosis and treatment.

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 investigate the efficacy of shoulder arthroscopic balance point compaction with cross suture-bridge technique inr the treatment of avulsion fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on 14 patients with avulsion fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus treated in Affiliated Xinhua Hospital of Dalian University from March 2021 to March 2022, including 8 males and 6 females; aged 30-58 years [(40.2±10.5)years]. Among them, 5 patients had fracture in the left shoulder and 9 in the right shoulder. The fracture was classified as the avulsion type according to Mutch classification. All the patients were treated with shoulder arthroscopic balance point compaction with cross suture-bridge technique. The anteroposterior X-ray of the shoulder joint was taken at 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery to evaluate fracture reduction and fixation. The operative time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. Fracture healing was evaluated by shoulder MRI at 6 months after surgery. The visual analog score (VAS), Constant shoulder joint score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and shoulder range of motion (active abduction angle, active lateral external rotation angle, and active lateral internal rotation) preoperatively, at 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were compared. The postoperative complications were observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-15 months [(12.5±0.8)months]. The operative time and intraoperative blood loss were (67.0±10.5)minutes and (20.0±3.8)ml. The anteroposterior X-ray of the shoulder joint showed good reduction and fixation at 1 week, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. MRI T1 image at 6 months after surgery showed locally evenly distributed high signal, suggesting that the fracture was healed well. The values of VAS were (3.2±0.4)points, (2.5±0.5)points, and (0.7±0.3)points at 3, 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, which were lower than (7.2±0.6)points preoperatively; the values of Constant joint shoulder score were (53.2±5.3)points, (81.1±4.4)points, and (92.8±5.3)points, which were higher than (42.3±7.6)points preoperatively; the values of ASES score were (55.6±3.6)points, (77.1±3.2)points, and (90.8±3.5)points, which were higher than (45.8±4.2)points preoperatively; the active abduction angles were (60.5±2.5)°, (107.8±6.6)°, and (168.5±3.5)°, which were higher than (18.3±3.3)°preoperatively; the active lateral external rotation angles were (25.8±2.5)°, (30.8±2.2)°, and (63.8±2.8)°, which were higher than (15.6±3.2)°preoperatively ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The level of active internal rotation was L 5, L 1, and T 10, which was better than S 3 before surgery. The VAS, Constant shoulder joint score, ASES score, active abduction and active external rotation were significantly improved at the last follow-up compared with those at 3, 6 months after surgery (all P<0.05), with markedly improved level of active internal rotation. No major complications such as infection, instability of the shoulder joint or acromial impingement were found after surgery. Conclusion:Shoulder arthroscopic balance point compaction with cross suture-bridge technique for the treatment of avulsion fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus has advantages of decreased intraoperative blood loss, good reduction and healing, shoulder pain relief, early restoration of shoulder function and mobility, and few complications.

Objective:To understand the duration of survival and related influencing factors of HIV/AIDS patients in Liuzhou city.Methods:Both life table method and Kaplan-Meier method were used to calculate the average survival time of HIV/AIDS patients aged ≥15 years reported in Liuzhou city from 2008 to 2018. Factors related to the duration of HIV/AIDS patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression models.Results:A total of 14 856 patients with HIV/AIDS were involved in this study and with the average duration of survival time as 98.74 (95 %CI: 97.73-99.75) months. The cumulative survival rates of 1, 3, 5 and 10 years were 77.0%, 72.0%, 68.0%, 61.0% respectively. Results from the multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis showed that factors as sex, level of education, age when HIV infection was confirmed, occupation, route of transmission, source of samples, results of the first CD 4 test and antiviral treatment were all related to the duration of survival to the HIV/AIDS patients. Conclusions:Strategies involving early detection of HIV infection, improvement of the CD 4 initial detection rate and early antiviral treatment will help to significantly reduce the risk of death in HIV/AIDS population. Focus should be on male, middle-aged and elderly (over 41 years old), junior high school education or below farmers and migrant worker populations.

Objective: To observe the clinical course of children with juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) until 14 years old. Methods: The clinical data of one hundred and twenty cases treated between Januray 1, 2002 and September 30, 2017 in Beijing Tongren Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Excluding the deaths and the lost, patients who could be ≥ 5 years without recurrence, were defined as the cured group, and < 5 years with recurrence defined as the recurrent group. Furthermore, using statistical methods to analyze the differences of the age of initial operation, total number of operations, invasive lesion, HPV infection, tracheotomy, airway dissemination after tracheotomy and time of tube wear between the two groups. Results: One hundred and three cases were followed up, except for the six deaths.Numbers of operations in eight cases were ≤2, and ≥3 in eighty nine cases.Peak of the primary surgical age were about 4.5 years old, while the self-healing trend occurred at nine years old. In the cured group, forty three cases were cured, with a curative rate of 41.7% (43/103), and there were all fifty four survivors in the recurrent group.The total number of operations, invasive cases, HPV positive cases and the G score of hoarseness in the recurrent group were higher than those in the cured group (F=13.02, χ²=13.04, χ²=17.37, Z=-4.59, P<0.05). The number of tracheal dissemination caused by tracheotomy in the recurrent group (66.7%, 27.8%)was more than that in the cured group (χ²=16.01, P<0.05). Compared with the time of wearing a tracheostomy tube in cured group, the recurrent group was longer ((3.4±3.1) years vs (8.3±6.7) years, χ²=7.19, P<0.05). Conclusions 41.7% of the patients had no relapse for at least five years.There exsisted differences between the cured and recurrent group in the following aspects: the total numbers of surgery, the agression of the lesions, tracheal intratracheal dissemination after tracheotomy, the time of tracheotomy, the HPV typing and the G grading of hoarseness.

Objective To investigate the ultrasonic appearance of peripheral neurilemmoma.Methods Ultrasonic appearances of 43 patients with 46 neurilemmomas confirmed by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively and compared with their MRI and pathological features.Results Forty-five neurilemmomas were with regular shape and clear boundary,except one at the root of nerve C4 that was irregular in shape and unclear in boundary,like adumbbell.Sonography showed that there were 30 neurilemmomas displaying as solid tumors,15 as cystic and solid,and 1 as entirely cystic.Posterior echoenhancement,target sign,rat tail sign and vessels accompanying sign were found in 39,21,23 and 17 neurilemmomas,respectively.There were 4 neurilemmomas with ultrasound blood flow grade 0,9 with grade Ⅰ,22 with gradeⅡ,and 11 with grade Ⅲ.The target signs were found in 21 cases (21/46,45.6％) and 26 cases (26/46,56.5 ％) by ultrasound and MRI,respectively.The capability of ultrasound finding the target sign in neurilemmoma was comparable to MRI(Kappa =0.527,P ＜0.001).The diagnostic accuracy rate of neurilemmoma by ultrasonography was 73.9％(34/46).Conclusions The ultrasound has a relatively high detection of the target sign in neurilemmoma,which may provide a new basis for the ultrasonic diagnosis of neurilemmoma.

Objective To investigate the effects of the intervention,rehabilitation and speech development of children with severe hearing loss in some rural areas.Methods 61 children,including 35 males and 26 females,were diagnosed as severe hearing loss with ABR and 40 Hz-AERP from June 2004 to July 2008.All the children failed hearing screening or visited the hospital as outpatients.The ages ranged from 2 to 72 months with the average age of 17.59 months.During telephone follow-up,the questionnaire was used to gather the data regarding the usage of hearing aids,hearing and speech rehabilitation,speech development,and communication abilities.Results 33 (54.10%) children were fitted with hearing aids,and 2 (3.28%) received cochlear implants,while 26(42.62 %) neither had hearing aids nor cochlear implants.10 cases with hearing aids also had speech training,whereas 23 children with hearing aids did not receive the training.2 cases with cochlear implants and 2 cases with hearing aids were found to have good speech development and communication ability,while 31 cases with hearing aids had delayed speech development.26 cases without any devices had to rely on sign language for their commumication.Conclusion Children in rural area with severe hearing loss experience greater speech and communication difficulties because many of them have no access to intervention and speech training.The results suggest that it would be very important to increase public awareness and educate parents to have their children wear hearing aids and receive speech training.

Objective To investigate the micro-anatomical approach to resect both intracranial and extracranial jugular foramen tumors in one-stage. Methods With the aid of surgical microscope, fifteen cadaver heads were used to study the microsurgical anatomy of high cervical part and jugular foramen, measure relative data. Results Detailed dissection was performed on high cervical part between the 1st cervical vertebra and the 4th cervical vertebra, resect foramen processus transversi of the 1st cervical vertebra, free vertebral artery 2nd and 1st cervical vertebra segment and horizontal segment. The jugular tubercle, jugular tunisia and part of the occipital condylus was drilled away as much as possible, total exposure of lateral semicircular canal was completed after the removal of the mastoid revealed labyrinthinem. Then the sigmoid sinus and jugular bulb were skeletonized. The vertical of segment of facial nerve was fully skeletonized to study the necessity of the facial nerve translocation. Full exposure to the sigmoid sinus, open jugular foramen. JF areas expanded, and the measured parameters revealed. The distance was (29.65 ± 3.24)mm from mastoidalec to oncentrated focus of condyle (10.18 ± 0.81)mm from hinder margin of condyle to endostoma of hypoglossal canal. The left distance was (6.8 ± 0.35)mm from jugular foramen to perpendicular part of facial nerve, right was (4.6 ± 0.33)mm. Conclusions Total exposure of JF can be achieved through the approach we described, and will enable the facial nerve, cochlea, and the structure of the vertebral artery to be performed. Both intracranial and extracranial tumors can be removed in a one-stage procedure related to anatomical parameters. Improve the cure, reduce complication and lower mortality.
