Objective:To compare the therapeutic efficacy of the dual anteromedial and anterolateral approaches versus that of the anterior midline approach in the treatment of Wahlquist type C medial tibial plateau fractures accompanied by posterior column collapse.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 21 patients who had been treated for Wahlquist type C medial tibial plateau fractures plus posterior column collapse at The Fourth Orthopedic Ward, The 72nd Group Army Hospital of PLA between January 2019 and August 2023. The cohort included 13 males and 8 females, with an age of (43.3±6.7) years. The left side was involved in 14 fractures and the right side in 7 ones. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on their surgical approaches: a dual-approach group ( n=13) undergoing fixation via the dual anteromedial and anterolateral approaches, and a single-approach group ( n=8) undergoing fixation via the anterior midline approach. Comparative parameters included operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, quality of fracture reduction, medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), incision complications, postoperative bone mass reduction quality (evaluated according to the Rasmussen anatomical criteria for tibial condyle fracture reduction), lateral tibial plateau instability, incidence of genu varum, and post-traumatic arthritis. Functional recovery of the lower limb joints was assessed at the final follow-up using the Merchant criteria. Results:No statistically significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics between the 2 groups preoperatively, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for a mean duration of (38.1±11.3) months. The postoperative MPTA in the dual-approach group (86.8°±0.8°) was significantly larger than that in the single-approach group (85.5°±0.9°) ( P<0.05). Genu varum occurred in 1 patient in the dual-approach group and in 4 patients in the single-approach group, while lateral tibial plateau instability was observed in 1 patient in the dual-approach group and in 4 patients in the single-approach group, showing statistically significant differences between the 2 groups ( P<0.05). No statistically significant differences were found between the 2 groups regarding operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, quality of fracture reduction, incidence of incision complications, or incidence of post-traumatic arthritis ( P>0.05). At the final follow-up, no statistically significant difference was observed in the functional recovery of the lower limb joints assessed by the Merchant criteria between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of Wahlquist type C medial tibial plateau fractures accompanied by posterior column collapse, compared with the single anterior midline approach, the dual anteromedial and anterolateral approaches can restore more effectively the MPTA, and reduce the incidences of genu varum and lateral tibial plateau instability.

Due to low autoimmune function, imperfect development of various organs, coupled with a variety of invasive operations and other factors, premature infants are high-risk groups of invasive fungal infection.Invasive candida infection in premature infants accounts for more than 80% of invasive fungal infection. The main infection rate of invasive candida albicans was candida albicans. However, in recent years, the infection rate of non-candida albicans such as candida albicans, tropical candida, smooth candida and other non-candida albicans showed a gradual upward trend.In addition to blood culture, the latest diagnostic methods such as plasma (1-3)-β-D-glucan test and candida polymerase chain reaction are helpful for the diagnosis of invasive fungal infection. At the same time, attention should also be paid to prophylactic antifungal therapy and empirical antifungal therapy in premature infants.

Objective:To investigate the role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)in the regulation of B[a]P-induced silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1 ) activation in the human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B),and to clarify the relationship between EGFR/SIRT1 signal transduction pathway and the occurrence and development lung cancer.Methods:The prediction analysis of transcriptional factor binding sites of SIRT1 was performed by MOTIF SearchTM software.The primary cultivated BEAS-2B cells were divided into control group (without B[a]P exposure)and B[a]P groups (the cells were exposed to B[a]P for 6,12,24,48 h).RT-PCR and Western blotting method were carried out to detect the EGFR mRNA and protein expression levels.The BEAS-2B cells transfected with SIRT1 promotor luciferase reporter gene plasmid were treated with human epidermal growth factor (hEGF)and Genistein (tyrosine protein kinase inhibitor)for 24 h,the morphology of BEAS-2B cells was observed by inverted microscope, and luciferase reporter assay was used to test the SIRT1 transcriptional activity.The human lung tissue biopsies were acquired and the immunohistochemical analysis was used to determine the EGFR protein expression level.Results:The transcriptional factor binding sites of SIRT1 contained EGF, 2Fe-2S and vWF.Compared with control group,the expression levels of EGFR mRNA in B [a]P groups were increased in a time-dependent manner,and reached the peak at 12 h (P < 0.05);the EGFR protein expression levels were also increased (P <0.05).The SIRT1 luciferase activity in hEGF group was increased compared with control group (P <0.05);when hEGF and B[a]P worked together,the SIRT1 luciferase activity was increased even further (P <0.001). The cells showed arrangement and morphologic changes gradually when the B[a]P concentration was above 30 μmol · L-1. Genistein (30 μmol · L-1 )inhibited the increase of SIRT1 luciferase activity induced by B [a]P ,and there was significant difference compared with control group (P <0.05).The immunohistochemistry results showed that EGFR expression level in lung cancer tissue was higher than that in normal lung tissue (P < 0.001).Conclusion:EGFR can regulate the B [a]P-induced SIRT1 expression in BEAS-2B cells,and to cause lung chronic inflammation;EGFR/SIRT1 signal transduction pathway may play a role in the occurrence and development of lung cancer.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of the radial artery perforator flap on repairing soft tissue defect after palm postoperative scar contracture. Methods Eighteen patients with palm scar contracture were selected. The palm soft tissue defect was repaired by radial artery perforator flap after the operation of scar removal and soft tissue release. The areas of soft tissue ranged from 5 cm × 3 cm to 8 cm × 5 cm. The area of donor flap exceeds 20%of the wounds area, and wounds were repaired by free skin grafting. Six months after operation, the hand function was compared with that before operation. Results All the patients were followed up for 6-15 months (mean 10.8 months), all flaps survived with good shape, and flap donor site wounds were healed by skin grafting. The patients were evaluated 6 months after operation according to the Chinese Medical Hand Surgery Society of upper part of functional assessment criteria: excellent in 11 cases, good in 5 cases and general in 2 cases, but preoperative functional evaluation was excellent 0 case, good in 3 cases, general in 7 cases and poor in 8 cases. Compared with that before operation, the postoperative function was significantly improved. Conclusions It is a commendable approach of repairing soft tissue defect after postoperative palm scar contracture by radial artery perforator flap, because it can provide reliable blood supply, and significantly improve hand function with exactly clinical effect.
