This article aims to compare and analyze the biomechanical differences between wing-shaped titanium plates and traditional titanium plates in fixing acetabular anterior column and posterior hemi-transverse (ACPHT) fracture under multiple working conditions using the finite element method. Firstly, four sets of internal fixation models for acetabular ACPHT fractures were established, and the hip joint stress under standing, sitting, forward extension, and abduction conditions was calculated through analysis software. Then, the stress of screws and titanium plates, as well as the stress and displacement of the fracture end face, were analyzed. Research has found that when using wing-shaped titanium plates to fix acetabular ACPHT fractures, the peak stress of screws decreases under all working conditions, while the peak stress of wing-shaped titanium plates decreases under standing and sitting conditions and increases under forward and outward extension conditions. The relative displacement and mean stress of the fracture end face decrease under all working conditions, but the values are higher under forward and outward extension conditions. Wing-shaped titanium plates can reduce the probability of screw fatigue failure when fixing acetabular ACPHT fractures and can bear greater loads under forward and outward extension conditions, improving the mechanical stability of the pelvis. Moreover, the stress on the fracture end surface is more conducive to stimulating fracture healing and promoting bone tissue growth. However, premature forward and outward extension rehabilitation exercises should not be performed.

BACKGROUND:The types of acetabular double-column fractures are complex and common.At present,the traditional reconstructed bone plates are used to treat the double-column fractures,and the mismatch between them and the bone surface will increase the difficulty of surgery.Personalized bone plate can realize the adhesion of bone plate and bone surface,but the biomechanical comparison between personalized bone plate and traditional reconstructed bone plate in fixation of acetabular double column fracture is few,and the simulated posture is relatively simple.OBJECTIVE:Three-dimensional finite element method was used to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of different internal fixation methods of complex acetabular double-column fractures in various positions,providing the necessary biomechanical basis for clinical application.METHODS:The most representative two-column fracture model of complex acetabular fractures involving square area was established.A three-dimensional finite element model was established for the fixation of complex acetabular double-column fractures by four different internal fixation methods:special-shaped titanium plate fixation(group A),anterior and posterior column double titanium plate fixation(group B),anterior column reconstruction titanium plate+posterior column lag screw fixation(group C),and anterior column reconstruction titanium plate+subacetabular screw fixation(group D).Four kinds of complicated acetabular double-column fracture models with different internal fixation were simulated in the position of sitting,standing,affected side extension,affected side abduction,and affected side standing on one leg.The biomechanical properties of the four internal fixation methods were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The node displacement and mean displacement on fracture line were presented as group A＜group B＜group C＜group D in all postures.The displacement value in the one-leg standing position on the affected side was the largest compared with other postures,and the maximum displacement of the internal fixation system in group A was the smallest among the four models.There was no significant difference between the four groups in the standing position and the one-legged standing position(P＞0.05).In the position of sitting,affected side extension,and affected side abduction,there was no significant difference between group A and group B,group B and group C,and group C and group D(P＞0.05),but there was significant difference between group A and group C,group A and group D,and group B and group D(P＜0.05).(2)The maximum stress of each fracture block in group A was smaller than that in other groups,and the stress distribution of fracture block was more uniform.The stress of the internal fixator was mainly concentrated in the area near the fracture end of the bone plate.The stress distribution of the internal fixator was more uniform in groups A and B,while the stress concentration of the internal fixator in groups C and D was more obvious,and the maximum stress value of the internal fixator in group A decreased by 4.86％-54.61％compared with the other three groups.(3)In the affected side extension and abduction position,both groups A and B had a large stress shielding rate,and the maximum difference between the two groups was 5.67％.In the one-legged standing position on the affected side,the internal fixed stress shielding rate of group A was the highest,while that of group D was the lowest.(4)It is indicated that shaped personalized titanium plate fixation(group A)has better biomechanical stability than the other three groups of traditional reconstructed bone plate fixation.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of gastric-soleal turndown flap and knotless anchor bridging fixation via a modified incision in the treatment of chronic Achilles tendon rupture of Myerson type Ⅲ.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of the 18 patients who had been treated at Department of Minimally Invasive Orthopedics, Zhengzhou Orthopaedic Hospital from February 2020 to July 2023 for chronic Achilles tendon rupture of Myerson type Ⅲ by means of gastric-soleal turndown flap and knotless anchor bridging fixation via a modified incision. There were 15 males and 3 females, with an age of (37.2±6.8) years. All patients suffered from unilateral injury, involving 13 left sides and 5 right sides. Their body mass index was (22.6±2.5) kg/m 2. The operation time, blood loss, incision length, wound healing and complications were documented. The ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion at the last follow-up were compared between the affected side and the healthy side. The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score and Achilles tendon total rupture score (ATRS) before operation were compared with those at the last follow-up. Results:All the 18 patients were followed up for (18.0±5.5) months. Their operation time was (69.1±5.2) minutes, blood loss (71.6±9.2) mL, incision at the broken end of the Achilles tendon (12.4±2.6) cm and incision at the proximal end (2.5±0.4) cm. At the last follow-up, the ankle dorsiflexion was 12.7°±1.9° and the ankle plantar flexion 35.2°±2.0° at the affected side, showing no significant difference from those at the healthy side (13.0°±2.1° and 34.7°±1.8°) ( P>0.05). The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was (89.4±3.4) points and the ATRS (85.3±3.2) points for the affected side at the last follow-up, showing significant improvements compared with the preoperative values [(54.2±4.2) points and (51.1±4.6) points] ( P<0.05). All the incisions healed at one stage after operation, with no such complications as incision infection or re-rupture of the Achilles tendon. One patient experienced mild pain at the anchor insertion site, but the pain disappeared 6 months after operation without any treatment. One patient had the symptoms of sural nerve injury which responded to 3 months of oral neurotrophic medication. Conclusion:In the treatment of chronic Achilles tendon rupture of Myerson type Ⅲ, gastric-soleal turndown flap and knotless anchor bridging fixation via a modified incision can result in limited invasion, a low incidence of complications, and definite effectiveness.

Kleine-Levin Syndrome(KLS)is a rare neurological disease characterized by recurrent episodes of hypersomnia, hyperphagia, hypersexuality, and cognitive and behavioral abnormalities, with complete functional recovery between episodes. Its pathogenesis remains unclear. We report a 33-year-old female with a 17-year clinical course, characterized mainly by recurrent hypersomnia. During episodes, the patient exhibited prominent anorexia, irritability, derealization, and disorientation, followed by brief periods of excitement after episode resolution. Inter-episode periods were entirely normal. Long-term polysomnography monitoring was conducted for a total of 7 792 minutes. Unlike the typical hyperphagia commonly observed in KLS, this case was marked by prominent anorexia, underscoring the clinical heterogeneity of KLS.This report adds to the limited documentation of rare cases in China.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
