OBJECTIVE: To review clinical application and research progress of different types of intelligent responsive hydrogels in repairing articular cartilage injury. METHODS: The animal experiments and clinical studies of different types of intelligent responsive hydrogels for repairing articular cartilage injury were summarized by reviewing relevant literature at home and abroad. RESULTS: The intrinsic regenerative capacity of articular cartilage following injury is limited. Intelligent responsive hydrogels, including those that are temperature-sensitive, light-sensitive, enzyme-responsive, pH-sensitive, and other stimuli-responsive hydrogels, can undergo phase transitions in response to specific stimuli, thereby achieving optimal functionality. These hydrogels can fill the injured cartilage area, promote the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes, and expedite the repair of the damaged site. With advancements in cartilage tissue engineering materials research, intelligent responsive hydrogels offer a novel approach and promising potential for the treatment of cartilage injuries. CONCLUSION Intelligent responsive hydrogel is a kind of flexible, controllable, efficient, and stable polymer, which has similar structure and functional properties to articular cartilage, and has become one of the important biomaterials for cartilage repair. However, there is still a lack of unified treatment standards and simple and efficient preparation technology.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different levels of ophthalmic surgical stimulation on blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:From Mar to Oct 2021,236 patients with T2DM who underwent ophthalmic surgery in our hospital were enrolled,including 71 cases of secondary surgery,89 cases of tertiary surgery,and 76 cases of quaternary surgery.According to the operation time,the 236 patients were divided into groups A(＜60 min),B(60-120 min)and C(＞120 min).The preoperative and postoperative blood glucose levels were compared in patients with different levels of surgery,and in groups A,B and C.Results:The postoperative blood glucose level was lower than that before surgery in secondary and tertiary surgery,and it was higher than that before surgery in quaternary surgery(P＜0.05).The fluctuation value of blood glucose in secondary and tertiary surgery was higher than that in quaternary surgery(P＜0.05).In groups A,B and C,the postoperative blood glucose level was lower than that before surgery in secondary and tertiary surgery(P＜0.05).In group A,there was no significant difference in the blood glucose before and after surgery in quaternary surgery(P＞0.05),and in groups B and C,the postoperative blood glucose was higher than that before surgery in quaternary surgery(P＜0.05).In group A,there was no difference in the fluctuation value of blood glucose at different levels of surgery(P＞0.05).In group B,the fluctuation value of blood glucose in patients with secondary and tertiary surgery was higher than that in quaternary surgery(P＜0.05).In group C,the fluctuation value of blood glucose in patients with tertiary and quaternary surgery was higher than that in patients with secondary surgery(P＜0.05).Conclusions:For ophthalmic surgery patients with T2DM,the postoperative blood glucose values of patients undergoing secondary and tertiary surgery generally show a downward trend,while the postoperative blood glucose value of patients undergoing quaternary surgery generally shows an upward trend.It is suggested that clinical workers should actively manage the perioperative blood glucose of patients with high-level surgery.

Objective To evaluate the testing capabilities of laboratories,analyze existing issues,and improve testing quality,through carrying out the external quality assessment(EQA)of clinical laboratories for human papillomavirus(HPV)type 6 and 11 nucleic acid detection.Methods EQA plan was carried out twice a year.Each panel contains 4 positive samples,including one strong positive sample and one weak positive sample of HPV6 and HPV11,made from cervical secretions from patients with clinical manifestations of condyloma acuminata(CA)and positive for HPV6 or HPV11(from Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital).One negative sample was cultured from the C-33A cell line(from Chinese Academy of Sciences).Samples were sent to participating laboratories by cold chain,and laboratories were required to detect test samples and upload their results within the specified time.Shanghai Center for Clinical Laboratory(SCCL)calculated the scores of each laboratory based on the return results.Results A total of 163 sample panels were sent out in the 6 rounds of EQA plan and 140 valid reports were received.The laboratory qualification rate was 96.43%(135/140)and the sample compliance rate was 97.86%(685/700).There were 13 false negative results and 2 false positive results,with weakly positive samples accounting for 76.92%(10/13)of the false negative results.Conclusion The detection accuracy of HPV6/11 nucleic acid in each laboratory was relatively high,and the detection ability of weak positive samples in individual laboratories may need to be improved.The laboratory could discover problems and improve its quality management by participating in EQA.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation on upper limb motor function rehabilitation of stroke patients after contralateral seventh cervical nerve transfer (CC7). MethodsFrom May, 2020, to May, 2022, 34 stroke patients with hemiplegia underwent CC7 in Jing'an District Centre Hospital of Shanghai were randomly divided into control group (n = 17) and observation group (n = 17). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation. The observation group accepted repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation, and the control group received sham stimulation, for eight weeks. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE) and Hua-Shan Grading of Upper Extremity (H-S grading) before and after treatment. ResultsTwo cases dropped down in each group. There was difference in gender between two groups (χ² = 6.136, P < 0.05). After treatment, the scores of FMA-UE and H-S grading significantly improved in both groups (t > 4.000, P < 0.01), and the improvement was better in the observation group than in the control group (t > 2.362, P < 0.05). ConclusionRepetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation could improve the motor function of upper limb and hand of stroke patients with hemiplegia after CC7.

Objective:To investigate the effect of arthroscopically-assisted open reduction and internal fixation of intra-articular distal radius fracture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was made on clinical data of 44 patients with distal radial intraarticular fracture admitted to Jing′an District Central Hospital, Fudan University between June 2017 and August 2020. There were 13 males and 31 females, at age of 35-85years [(62.5±12.9)years]. According to AO/OTA fracture classification system, there were 7 patients with type B and 37 with type C. Open reduction and internal fixation with volar plate was used in all patients, among which 22 were operated on using arthroscopy assistance (arthroscopy group) and 22 were operated on with traditional intraoperative fluoroscopy (fluoroscopy group). The operation time in both groups and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injury and fracture displacement in arthroscopy group were recorded. Patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE) score, disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire and range of wrist motion were compared between the two groups at 12 months after operation. The incidence of complications was observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-15 months [(13.3±1.1)months]. The operation time in arthroscopy group was (104.0±40.5)minutes, longer than (71.3±32.1)minutes in fluoroscopy group ( P<0.05). In arthroscopy group, 14 patients (64%) with TFCC injury were diagnosed intraoperatively, with the fracture displacement gap and step for 0.8 (0.3, 0.8)mm and 1.0 (0.3, 1.5)mm under arthroscopic vision, which were reduced to 0.3 (0.0, 0.5)mm and 0.5 (0.0, 0.5)mm after arthroscopically-assisted reduction (all P<0.05). The PRWE score in arthroscopy group was (9.8±4.9)points at 12 months after operation, lower than (13.4±5.8)points in fluoroscopy group ( P<0.05). The DASH questionnaire in arthroscopy group was (9.0±5.0)points at 12 months after operation, lower than (13.0±6.1)points in fluoroscopy group ( P<0.05). The dorsal extension and posterior rotation of the wrist in arthroscopy group were (73.8±8.9)° and (82.5±8.0)°, higher than (65.8±14.2)° and (76.3±10.4)° in fluoroscopy group (all P<0.05). There were no postoperative complications such as loosened or broken screws, vascular nerve damage, incision infection or traumatic arthritis in both groups. Conclusion:Arthroscopic-assisted open reduction and internal fixation of intra-articular distal radius fracture can increase the accuracy of joint surface reduction, improve postoperative wrist function and confirm the diagnosis of TFCC injury during operation.

Objective: To develop a kind of quality control material which simulates clinical specimens for detecting plasma methylated Septin9 (mSEPT9) and investigate the performance for mSEPT9 detection in external quality assessment (EQA) of laboratories. Methods: The cultured Hela and Jurkat cells, known to contain methylated and unmethylated Septin9 gene respectively, were cultured. The genomic DNA of the cells was collected and extracted, and detected by mSEPT9 kit. According to the Ct value, the genomic DNA was diluted into different concentrations of quality control materials with negative plasma. The homogeneity and stability of the quality control materials were evaluated. The panels consisted of 5 blindly coded samples were distributed to EQA participants and the results were summarized and evaluated. Results: The purity and concentration of extracted genomic DNA met with the needs of use and could be used as quality control products for mSEPT9 detection. The homogeneity and stability met with the requirements of China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment. Some of the participating laboratories occurred false positive results and false negative results, and a good linear correlation for the detected results (Ct values) was only observed in about 55.6% of the laboratories. Among the 9 participating laboratories, 7 laboratories (77.8%) performed well, 1 laboratory (11.1%) qualified, and 1 laboratory (11.1%) unqualified. Conclusion The quality control materials for mSEPT9 detection was successfully developed and the application in external quality assessment should be of great significance for evaluating and improving the detection ability of clinical laboratory.

A male patient, with diagnose of Madelung disease, was admitted in September 2009. He has been a heavy drinker for decades before onset of the disease. This patient was characterized by the large amount of symmetrical deposits of adipose tissue in the subcutaneous layer around neck, and without obesity on other sites. The excessive adipose tissue was surgically removed by three steps. Appearance almost returned to normal. No recurrence happened after 8 years of follow-up.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and clinical features to probe the risk factors of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in children and adolescents with hematological diseases post haplo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) . Methods: Medical records of 62 children and 27 adolescents with hematological diseases treated with haplo-HSCT between 2015 and 2016 were analyzed. Results: Of 89 cases (56 boys and 33 girls) , 44 patients were diagnosed with ALL, 33 AML, 3 AHL and 9 MDS. HC occurred in 32 of the 89 patients with an incidence of 36%, including 6 with grade Ⅰ, 16 with grade Ⅱ, 8 with grade Ⅲ, 2 with grade Ⅳ HC, respectively. The median time of HC onset was 25 days (range 2-55 days) after haplo-HSCT with the median duration as 19 days (range 3-95 days) , all of them were cured. The incidence of HC was lower in the group of children than that in the group of adolescents (27.4% vs 55.6%, χ²=6.466, P<0.05) , and the incidence of HC was higher in the group of patients who were ≥5 years old than that in the group of patients who were <5 years old (0 vs 34%, χ²=4.043, P<0.05) . Conclusion HC is one of common complications in children and adolescents with hematological diseases post haplo-HSCT, older age was associated with increased mortality.
