OBJECTIVE: To review the role and research progress of mechanotransduction signaling pathway in distraction osteogenesis, so as to provide theoretical basis and reference for clinical treatment. METHODS: The role and research progress of mechanotransduction signaling pathway in distraction osteogenesis were summarized by extensive review of relevant literature at home and abroad. RESULTS: The mechanotransduction signaling pathway plays a central role of "sensation-transformation-execution" in distraction osteogenesis, and activates a series of molecular mechanisms to promote the regeneration and remodeling of bone tissue by integrating external mechanical signals. Mechanical stimuli are converted into mechanotransduction signals through the perception of integrins, Piezo1 ion channels and bone cell networks. Activate downstream molecules are transduce through signal pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin, transforming growth factor β/bone morphogenetic protein-Smad, mitogen-activated protein kinase, protein kinase Hippo-Yes-associated protein/transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/ protein kinase B, so as to achieve the effects of promoting osteoblasts proliferation, accelerating endochondral ossification, regulating bone resorption and the like, thereby promoting the regeneration of new bone in the distraction area. The study of mechanotransduction signaling pathways in distraction osteogenesis is expected to optimize the mechanical parameters of distraction osteogenesis and provide targeted intervention strategies for accelerating new bone regeneration and mineralization in the distraction zone. However, the specific mechanism of mechanotransduction signaling pathway in distraction osteogenesis remains to be further elucidated, and artificial intelligence and multi-omics analysis may be the future development direction of mechanotransduction signaling pathway. CONCLUSION In distraction osteogenesis, mechanotransduction signal transduction is the core mechanism of bone regeneration in the distraction zone, which regulates cell behavior and tissue regeneration by converting mechanical stimulation into biochemical signals.

Objective:To investigate optimal treatment strategy for pT3N0 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma（SCC）. Methods:A retrospective study of 150 patients with pT3N0 laryngeal SCC treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University was performed. The efficacies of partial laryngectomy and total laryngectomy, as well as surgery alone and postoperative radiotherapy were evaluated. The overall survival（OS）, disease specific survival（DSS） and disease-free survival（DFS） were analyzed with statistical package from SPSS. Results:Among the 108 patients with glottic laryngeal SCC, there were no significant differences in OS, DSS and DFS between the partial laryngectomy group and the total laryngectomy group（Log-rank=0.184, 0.010 and 0.051, P>0.05）. Similarly, there were no significant differences in OS, DSS and DFS between the surgery-alone group and postoperative radiotherapy group（Log-rank=0.214, 0.251 and 0.003, P>0.05）. Among the 38 patients with supraglottic laryngeal SCC, the OS in the total laryngectomy group was significantly higher than that in the partial laryngectomy group（Log-rank=7.338, P=0.007）. The DSS and DFS in the total laryngectomy group were higher than in the partial laryngectomy group, but the differences were not statistically significant（Log-rank=0.895 and 1.792; P>0.05）. The DFS in the postoperative radiotherapy group was significantly higher than in the surgery-alone group（Log-rank=7.172, P=0.007）, but there were no significant differences in OS and DSS between these two groups（Log-rank=0.010 and 0.876, P>0.05）. Conclusion:For pT3N0 glottic laryngeal cancer patients, the efficacy of partial laryngectomy is comparable to total laryngectomy, same as surgery alone and postoperative radiotherapy. For pT3N0 supraglottic laryngeal cancer patients, total laryngectomy could improve the overall survival, and postoperative radiotherapy could reduce the recurrence. Prospectively randomized study with large samples is still needed.

Objective:To establish a new strategy for rapid correction of the interference of chyle blood on hemoglobin (HGB) and related indexes by reticulocyte (RET) channel research parameters (HGB-O, MCHC-O) from automatic hematological analyzer.Methods:With the diagnostic experimental design, a total of 90 impatient samples were sequential picked from Fuwai Hospital, which had routine blood testing from June 1 to July 31, 2021. The selected samples were free of hemolysis, jaundice, chylo. The age of the patients was (49.2±5.7) years, with 47 males and 43 females. Three different contents(25, 50, 75 μl) of fat emulsion injection were used to replace plasma in equal amounts to prepare chyle blood samples with mild, medium and heavy degrees of average red blood cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The research parameters (HGB-O, MCHC-O) obtained by the RET channel detection of the automatic blood analyzer were used as the corrected HGB and its related index values (RET method), and the original values (the detection values before adding fat emulsion) and the formula correction values were paired with t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test, single factor analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test, Bland-Altman and correlation analysis to evaluate the correction effect of RET method.Results:There was no significant difference ( H=0.035, P=0.983; H=0.097, P=0.953; H=0.112, P=0.945) between the RET correction values of HGB (g/L) [104.0(83.8, 132.8), 109.0(87.78, 128.25), 104.0(87.8, 131.8)] and the original values [104.0(83.0, 133.0), 107.5(86.75, 129.25), 103.5(85.8, 131.3)] and the formula correction values [104.0(84.0, 133.8), 106.0(86.75, 131.25), 102.5(86.8, 131.3)] in the samples of chythemia with varying degrees of MCHC (g/L) elevation; meanwhile, the RET correction values [366.5(325.8, 341.5), 333.5(323.8, 340.0), 333.5(327.0, 341.25)] and the original values [336.0(324.8, 342.0), 333.0(323.5, 342.3), 332.0(326.75, 340.5)] and the formula correction values [333.5(323.5, 343.3), 331.0(321.0, 338.3), 329.5(325.25, 337.25)] were also not statistically significant ( H=0.049, P=0.976; H=3.149, P=0.207; H=0.883, P=0.643). The detection values of HGB and related indexes corrected by RET method were in good agreement with the original values [96.7% (29/30) of the points were within the 95% consistency limit], and the two were positively correlated (the correlation coefficients were all higher than 0.919, P<0.01). Conclusion:The RET method based on the research parameters of RET channel of automatic hematological analyzer can serve as a new strategy to correct the interference of chyle blood on the detection of HGB and related indexes.

Objective: To investigate the incidence of occult cervical lymph node metastasis and the common neck level of metastases in cN0 laryngocarcinoma, and the relationship between the clinicopathologic features of laryngocarcinoma and cervical lymph node metastasis. Methods: A total of 506 cases with cN0 laryngocarcinoma treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between March 2011 and March 2018 were enrolled, and their medical records and follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. Of them, 211 cases of were glottic carcinoma in stage T1 without neck dissection and they were observed by clinical follow-up; other 295 cases, including glottic carcinoma, supraglottic carcinoma and hypopharyngeal carcinoma in stage T2-T4 were treated with surgical resection of the primary lesions and selective neck dissection. SPSS 22.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results: The total incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis was 10.87%(55/506), with a lower incidence in T1 stage glottic carcinoma(6/211,2.84%) than that in other cases(49/295,16.61%). The incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis in glottic carcinoma (29/426, 6.81%) was lower than those in supraglottic carcinoma (22/71,30.99%) and subglottic carcinoma (4/9) (χ²=35.810,P<0.01).The pN+ rates of glottic carcinoma at T1, T2, T3 were 2.84%(6/211), 5.31%(6/113), 16.05%(13/81), and 19.05%(4/21), respectively (χ²=18.572, P<0.01). The pN+ rates of supraglottic carcinoma at T2, T3 and T4 were 3/13, 32.50%(13/40) and 6/13, respectively (χ²=3.649,P>0.05). The incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis in poorly differentiated carcinoma (17/42, 40.48%) was higher than those in moderately differentiated carcinoma (26/205, 12.68%) and high differentiated carcinoma(12/246, 4.88%)(χ²=36.356, P<0.01). Moreover, 85 pN+ lymph nodes were obtained by selective neck dissection, respectively 43(50.59%) in level Ⅱa, 30(35.29%) in level Ⅲ, 1(1.18%) in level Ⅳ and 11(12.94%) in level Ⅵ. Conclusions The occult cervical lymph node metastasis was frequently found in cN0 laryngocarcinoma. Selective neck dissection should be performed with surgery for the primary lesions in T3-T4 glottic laryngeal cancer, T2-T4 supraglottic laryngeal cancer and subglottic carcinoma, and the neck dissection for level Ⅱa and Ⅲ is appropriate. It is required to detect pre-laryngeal and pre-tracheal lymph nodes in patients with subglottic laryngeal carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of computer-assisted design based on three-dimensional reconstruction technique on the reduction accuracy of tibial and fibular fractures with Taylor external fixation. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on the clinical data of 69 patients who had tibia and fibula fractures treated with Taylor external fixation in department of orthopedic trauma of Tianjin Hospital from January 2016 to January 2018 to compare the residual deformity after fracture reduction between computer-assisted design method (experimental group) and the standard measurement method (control group). The frontal and lateral tibia and fibula X-ray of all the affected limbs were taken. In experimental group, all the patients took bilateral tibial CT tomography, and then DICOM format documents were input into the Mimics 17.1 software and got three-dimensional models of targeted bone and external fixation ring. After that the visual image matching was performed between external fixation ring three-dimensional reconstruction model and the standard model and also between the affected limb and the contralateral limb. Then the reduction trajectory plan of bone broken end and the position of external fixation ring were obtained. The STL files were input to Solid Works software and got the length of six rods to adjust the Taylor external fixation. In control group, the films were measured by Coreldraw X7 X-ray measurement software and the parameters were input in Taylor Spatial Frame system software. And then six calibrated threaded rods were adjusted according to the prescription of the software. Finally, all the patients took the X-ray films again to evaluate the degree of residual displacement. Skew distributional data are indicated with M(Q_R), and method of non-parameter was used to analyze variances between groups. Results: All patients had better fracture reduction and achieved functional reset criteria. In the control group, the amount of displacement and angle residual aberration (improvement) in the frontal and lateral radiographs were 0.50(2.30)mm(90%), 0.00(0.85)mm(100%)and 0.00°(1.50°)(100%), 0.00°(0.00°)(100%), respectively. In the control group, the amount of displacement and angle residual aberration (improvement) in the frontal and lateral radiographs were 1.40(3.28)mm(69%), 2.15(4.27)mm(46%)and 1.15°(1.85°)(73%), 0.80°(2.10°)(67%). The positive and lateral angles and lateral displacements in the two groups were significantly different(P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in positive displacement (P=0.099). Conclusion Both computer-assisted design method and the standard measurement method have satisfactory reduction effect, but computer-assisted design can accurately correct fracture deformity, which is good for fracture healing and functional recovery of affected limb.
