Objective:To compare the efficacy of arthroscopic figure-of-eight transtibial tension-reducing technique combined with interference screw fixation versus interface screw fixation alone in the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 43 patients with ACL rupture admitted to Taihe Hospital between January 2022 and October 2023, including 24 males and 19 females, aged 17-61 years [(38.0±12.6)years]. Based on the tibial fixation method, 20 patients were treated with interference screw fixation alone (interference screw group) and 23 patients with figure-of-eight transtibial tension-reduction technique combined with interference screw fixation (figure-of-eight tension-reduction combined with interference screw group). An Endobutton suspension plate was used in femoral fixation in both groups. The following parameters were compared between the two groups: operative duration and graft diameter; coronal and sagittal tibial tunnel measurements by MRI within 72 hours postoperatively and at the last follow-up; knee range of motion, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores, and Lysholm scores preoperatively, at 1 month postoperatively, and at the last follow-up; perioperative complication rates.Results:All the patients were followed up for 11-28 months [(14.1±3.4)months]. There were no significant differences in operative duration or graft diameter between the two groups ( P>0.05). No significant differences were observed in coronal or sagittal tibial tunnel measurements between the two groups within 72 hours postoperatively ( P>0.05). Whereas at the last follow-up, the coronal and sagittal tibial tunnel measurements in the figure-of-eight tension-reduction combined with interference screw group were (11.6±0.7)mm and (11.7±1.1)mm, significantly lower than (13.5±0.6)mm and (13.4±1.9)mm in the interference screw group ( P<0.01). Preoperative knee range of motion, IKDC scores, Lysholm scores, and VAS scores showed no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 1 month postoperatively and at the last follow-up, the figure-of-eight tension-reduction combined with interference screw group demonstrated significantly greater knee range of motion [100.0(95.0, 100.0)° and 130.0(120.0, 135.0)°], compared with 72.5(60.0, 95.0)° and 120.0(105.0, 133.3)° in the interference screw group ( P<0.05). VAS scores at 1 month postoperatively and at the last follow-up were 2.0(2.0, 2.0)]points and 1.0(1.0, 1.0)points in the figure-of-eight tension-reduction combined with interference screw group, significantly lower than 3.0(2.3, 4.0)points and 2.0(1.0, 2.0)points in the interference screw group ( P<0.05). IKDC scores at 1 month postoperatively and at the last follow-up were (58.8±5.7)points and (72.4±6.7)points in the figure-of-eight tension-reduction combined with interference screw group, significantly higher than (51.1±5.2)points and (67.4±7.9)points in the interference screw group ( P<0.05). Lysholm scores at 1 month postoperatively and at the last follow-up were (58.9±12.7)points and (89.1±6.0)points in the figure-of-eight tension-reduction combined with interference screw group, significantly higher than (41.2±15.0)points and (78.3±12.3)points in the interference screw group ( P<0.05). No perioperative complications were observed in either group. Conclusion:Compared with interface screw fixation alone, arthroscopic figure-of-eight transtibial tension-reduction technique combined with interference screw fixation for ACL rupture can enhance graft stability, restore knee joint range of motion, alleviate pain, and improve knee function recovery.

Objective:To analyze the intercomparision result of personal dose monitoring and gross alpha/beta detection capability between the disease control and prevention institutions at provincial, municpal and county levels during 2022-2024, in order to provide a reference for radiation detection capability and policy making of these institutions in China.Methods:Data on personal dose monitoring and gross alpha/beta detection, obtanied from the 2022-2024 radiation detection capability intercomparison between the disease control and prevention institutions at different levels, were recorded. Both the qualification rates (including excellence) and excellence rates of all the institutions at all evels from 2022 to 2024 were analyzed using SPSS 22.0.Results:From 2022 to 2024, the number of participating institutions at all levels showed an overall upward trend, increasing from 262 to 430, with particularly notable growth at the municipal level. In the 2024 gross α/β detection capability intercomparison, the non-qualification rate in municipal-level institutions was significantly higher than in county-level institutions ( χ2=10.53, P < 0.05). The qualification rate (including excellence) of the municipal-level gross alpha/beta detection in 2022 and 2024 were lower than in 2023( χ2=29.93, P < 0.01). Among all regions, the 2024 personal dose monitoring intercomparison result showed that the qualification rate (including excellence) in East China was higher than in Southwest and Northwest China ( χ2=15.62, P <0.01). East China also outperformed Northwest China ( χ2=16.21, P <0.01). In the 2022 gross alpha/beta detection capability intercomparison, the qualification rate (including excellent performance) in East China and South China was higher than in Northwest China ( χ2=23.76, 11.22, P<0.01). Overall, East China showed relatively higher qualification rate in intercomparison result of both personal dose monitoring and radiation detection (including excellence), while Northwest China showed lower qualification rates (including excellence). Conclusions:Although the radiation detection capability of disease control and prevention institutions at all levels has improved in recent years, there are still insufficience of detection capabilities at some municipal- and county-level laboratories and even unbalance between different regionas. Policy support should prioritize underdeveloped areas, such as municipal- and county-level institutions and the Northwest, and enhance the technical proficiency and quality management of laboratory personnel.

Objective To analyze the difference of diseases between the coal mine workers and the general population inpatients by the disease spectrum in Datong City. Methods A total of 282 639 hospitalized patients in Datong City in 2023 were included as the study subjects. Participants were divided into a general population group and a coal mine workers group based on health insurance types, with 247 897 and 34 742 cases, respectively. The disease spectrum of participants in both groups was coded and analyzed according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10). The standardized constituent ratios of disease categories were calculated and compared between the two groups. Results Patients aged 60-<70 years had the largest standardized proportion in both cohorts (29.02% in the general population group and 33.08% in coal mine workers group). Circulatory system diseases had the highest standardized proportion in both groups. Within the top six disease categories ranked by standardized composition ratio in the coal mine workers, three demonstrated a higher burden, including neoplasms (C00-D48), symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical/laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99), and factors influencing health status/contact with health services (Z00-Z99), compared with the general population (11.82% vs 10.44%, 12.99% vs 8.03%, and 6.17% vs 2.04%, respectively). In both groups, male workers had higher standardized constituent ratios of circulatory, respiratory, and digestive system diseases than females (coal mine workers group, 19.53% vs 14.31%, 13.56% vs 9.10%, 10.61% vs 8.43%; general population group, 26.15% vs 22.42%, 15.45% vs 11.87%, 11.52% vs 10.41%). Conversely, the ratios for conditions classified under symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical/laboratory findings not elsewhere classified (R00-R99). and factors influencing health status/contact with health services (Z00-Z99) were higher in females than males (coal mine workers group, 13.31% vs 12.68%, 7.26% vs 5.13%; general population group, 8.91% vs 7.18%, 2.35% vs 1.74%). Mental and behavioral disorders (F00-F99) were most prevalent in the 22-<50-year age group in the general population (9.92%) and in the 50-<60-year age group in coal mine workers (8.58%). The standardized proportion of respiratory system diseases ranked first in≥80-year age workers in general population group and coal mine workers group (29.54% and 26.46%, respectively). Regarding specific malignancies, unspecified malignant neoplasm of the bronchus or lung was the most common cancer among males in both groups (3.44% and 3.62%). Among females, the standardized proportion of unspecified malignant neoplasm of breast was higher in coal mine workers group than in the general population group (2.60% vs 2.09%). Conclusion Neoplasms, abnormal symptoms, and mental health disorders should be prioritized in disease prevention strategies for coal mine workers. Greater attention should be paid to mental health screening in younger populations, and medical resource allocation should be optimized according to sex-specific high-incidence cancers.
