To evaluate long-term survival and clinical outcomes of patients with knee osteo-arthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through long-term follow-up.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective:To explore the necessity of perioperative radiography by analyzing the risk factors for internal fixation loosening after closed reduction and internal fixation with Kirschner wire for supra-condylar fracture of the humerus in children.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed were the 502 patients with supracondylar fracture of the humerus who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Children's Hospital of Fudan University by closed reduction and internal fixation with Kirschner wire from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. There were 307 boys and 195 girls, with an age of (60.0±27.2) months. There were 224 Gartland type Ⅱ supracondylar fractures and 278 Gartland type Ⅲ supracondylar fractures. Follow-ups revealed internal fixation loosening in 52 cases (set as a loosening group) and no internal fixation loosening in the other 460 cases (set as a non-loosening group). The angles between Kirschner wires (angle 1 and angle 2), the effective fixation ratios of the Kirschner wire (ratio 1, ratio 2, and ratio 3), the metaphyseal shaft angle α, and the distal anteversion angle of the humerus β were measured on the perioperative and postoperative elbow X-ray films and compared. Other data affecting the internal fixation loosening were collected. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for internal fixation loosening after closed reduction and internal fixation of supracondylar fracture of the humerus. Results:There were no significant differences between the intraoperative and postoperative data in the angle 1 or angle 2 between Kirschner wires (26.58°±14.22° versus 26.75°±10.70°; 41.85°±8.67° versus 41.31°±7.79°), the effective fixation ratio 1, 2 or 3 of Kirschner wire (0.904±0.182 versus 0.887±0.206; 0.897±0.119 versus 0.895±0.142; 0.890±0.035 versus 0.889±0.076), the metaphyseal shaft angle α (86.25°±2.74° versus 85.52°±1.86°), or the distal anteversion angle of the humerus β (31.04°±0.97° versus 29.54°±0.45°) (all P>0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that fracture site ( P=0.032), fracture classification ( P=0.041) and postoperative infection ( P=0.004) were the risk factors for internal fixation loosening. Conclusions:As supracondylar fractures of the humerus remain stable in the perioperative period with little risk of fracture displacement or internal fixation loosening after closed reduction and internal fixation with Kirschner wire, postoperative radiography is not necessary. The risks for internal fixation loosening are positively correlated with fracture site, fracture type and postoperative infection.

As an important element of medical and health sector innovation, the translation of scientific and technological achievements plays a key role in promoting their clinical application and meeting the medical needs of the people. The authors sorted out the problems in such translation at these affiliated hospitals in terms of " people", " finance", " material", and " system". Starting from 2017, the Tenth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University has explored such practices as establishing hospital-led clinical medical science and technology innovation parks and technology service limited companies. These practices aimed to address the issues of insufficient hospital scientific and technological innovation capabilities and the gap between the hospital′s operation mechanism to translate its scientific and technological achievements and the enterprises and the market. The clinical medical science and technology innovation park integrating administration, industry, education, research, medicine and application, has taken multiple measures to attract excellent research talents and projects from within and beyond the hospital, promote the implementation of innovative scientific research projects. The hospital also established a health industry mode with engagement of social capital from large enterprises. The Technology Services Co., Ltd. was based on the incubation and translation of hospital achievements, combining market and clinical needs, promoting multi-party cooperation between hospitals and external enterprises, improving the chain operation mechanism of hospital scientific and technological achievements translation work, and alleviating the problem of insufficient research pilot funds and productibility funds by means of hospital-led fundraising. The number of patent authorizations of hospitals had increased from 23 cases in 2018 to 105 in 2022, and the amount of patent conversion had increased from 2 million yuan in 2020 to 11 million yuan in 2022. It is recommended that affiliated hospitals of universities further improve the organizational structure of achievement translation, strengthen their professional talent teams, improve their operation mechanism of achievement translation, build a platform for medical school-enterprise cooperation, and improve the evaluation mechanism of translation assessment, in order to promote a virtuous cycle of hospital′s scientific and technological achievement translation work.

Objective:To explore any effect of using extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on the gastrocnemius muscle or the myotendinous junction on spasticity and the walking ability of stroke survivors.Methods:A total of 84 stroke survivors were randomly divided into a control group, a muscle belly group, and a myotendinous junction group, each of 28. In addition to conventional rehabilitation, the muscle belly and myotendinous junction groups received ESWT applied to the belly of the gastrocnemius muscle or the myotendinous junction. Before as well as one, two and three weeks after the treatment, all were evaluated using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), passive range of motion (PROM), a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain rating, and 10m maximum walking speed (10m MWS). Stride frequency and length were also measured and compared among the 3 groups.Results:After three weeks of ESWT treatment the average MAS, PROM and VAS scores of the belly and the junction group were significantly improved compared to before the treatment. The average MAS, PROM and VAS scores of the belly group and the average MAS score of the junction group were then significantly superior to the control group′s averages, and the average VAS score of the belly group was significantly better than that of the junction group. After one and two weeks of treatment, the average 10MWSs of the belly and junction groups were significantly better than the control group′s average, and after 3 weeks the belly group′s average speed was significantly better than the junction group′s. The stride frequency of the belly group had improved significantly compared with the control group after 2 weeks, and after 3 weeks both experimental groups had significantly better frequency than the control group. The average stride length of both the belly and junction groups was significantly better than the control group′s average throughout the testing.Conclusion:ESWT applied to the belly of the gastrocnemius muscle or the myotendinous junction can relieve muscle spasticity and pain and improve walking ability. Applying ESWT to the muscle belly is superior to on the myotendinous junction in terms of therapeutic efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy differences of stereotactic electroencephalogram (SEEG) electrode implantation in medically-refractory temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients with different neuroimaging manifestations before surgery.Methods:A total of 59 patients with medically-refractory TLE who accepted SEEG electrode implantation in Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital) from January 2018 to December 2021 were enrolled. These were divided into groups according to neuroimaging manifestations before surgery, including MRI-positive group and MRI-negative group, PET-positive group and PET-negative group, or PET&MRI concordant group (concordant group) and PET&MRI discordant group (discordant group). Modified Engel classification was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy of these patients at 12-month follow-up after surgery, and efficacy differences among different patient groups were compared.Results:Significant differences were noted in distributions of modified Engel classification between the MRI positive and negative groups, as well as the concordant and discordant groups at 12-month follow-up after surgery ( P<0.05); patients in the MRI positive group had better outcomes than those in the MRI negative group (mean rank judgment: 27.00 and 34.08), while patients in concordant group had better outcomes than those in discordant group (mean rank judgment: 23.32 and 31.19). Significant differences were noted in distributions of modified Engel classification at 12-month follow-up after surgery between different signal abnormal regions in the MRI positive group ( P<0.05); patients with hippocampal sclerosis or amygdala abnormalities had better outcomes than those with simultaneous abnormalities in the temporal lobe internal and external regions (mean rank judgment: 14.50 and 16.50). Conclusion:When the preoperative MRI of patients with medically-refractory TLE is negative, especially when results of structural imaging and functional imaging are inconsistent, SEEG electrode implantation and path planning as well as later surgical plan should be considered more carefully.

With the course of Clinical Skill Training as an example, this article integrates hierarchical teaching and peer teaching, adopts the problem-based learning (PBL) teaching model and famous traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) teaching clinics, connects the assessment criteria for standardized residency training, and pays attention to cultivating a reasonable teacher team, so as to improve the overall teaching quality of the course and the enthusiasm for the course among students. The application of the teacher inheritance model combined with case-based learning (CBL) teaching can help medical students to learn and inherit the clinical experience and skills, communication methods, and academic ideas of famous old TCM doctors and inherit and carry forward the essence of TCM culture. At the same time, CBL teaching is adopted to promote the integrated and people-oriented teaching concept of TCM, with medical students as the main body and teachers as the supporting role. The training with this model can effectively improve the clinical skills and development potential of TCM students.

ObjectiveTo explore the accuracy of clinical common serum fibrosis indexes hyaluronic acid （HA）， type Ⅳ collagen （CⅣ）， laminin （LN）， and type Ⅲ procollagen peptide （PⅢNP）， in combination with liver stiffness measurement （LSM， measured by transient elastography） and non-invasive markers of fibrosis aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index （APRI） and fibrosis-4 （FIB-4） in the prediction of the hepatic fibrosis of Wilson's disease （WD） and to observe the clinical effect of Gandouling （GDL）. MethodThe data of 76 WD patients were collected and the LSM， serum fibrosis indexes （HA， PⅢNP， CⅣ， LN）， APRI， and FIB-4 before treatment were recorded. The correlation of LSM with serum fibrosis indexes， APRI， and FIB-4 was discussed via Pearson′s correlation analysis. According to the therapeutic schemes， patients were classified into the control group （36 cases） and treatment group （40 cases）. Patients in control group were treated with sodium dimercaptopropylsulfonate （DMPS）， while those in the treatment group received GDL in addition to the western medicine therapy. The treatment lasted 6 courses （8 days/course） and the influence of GDL on the indictors was evaluated. ResultHA， CⅣ， LN， PⅢNP， APRI， and FIB-4 were in positive correlation with LSM （r=0.517， 0.438， 0.281， 0.457， 0.778， 0.847， P<0.01）. HA， CⅣ， LN， and PⅢNP in the treatment group were lower after treatment than before treatment （P<0.05， P<0.01）. HA， CⅣ， and LN in the control group were lower after treatment than before treatment （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and PⅢNP showed no significant difference. LSM， FIB-4， and APRI in both groups decreased after treatment （P<0.05）. After treatment， LSM， FIB-4， APRI， HA， and PⅢNP in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05， P<0.01）， but CⅣ and LN demonstrated no significant difference from the control group. ConclusionLSM in combination with serum fibrosis indexes （HA， PⅢNP， CⅣ， LN）， FIB-4， and APRI can help accurately identify the level of the hepatic fibrosis in WD. Moreover， on the basis of decoppering by western medicine， GDL can significantly improve the liver function and hepatic fibrosis of WD patients.
