Objective:To investigate the perioperative total blood loss of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 60 patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent initial unilateral TKA in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from February to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether they received robot-assisted surgery, they were divided into robot-assisted group and traditional surgery group. In the robot-assisted group, there were 32 patients, including 6 males and 26 females, aged 70.22±5.88 years (range, 57 to 79 years). Left side 14 cases, right side 18 cases; grade of Kellgren-Lawrence: 1 case of grade Ⅱ, 14 cases of grade Ⅲ, 17 cases of grade Ⅳ. In the traditional surgery group, there were 28 patients, including 5 males and 23 females, aged 68.61±6.79 years (range, 57 to 87 years). Left side 16 cases, right side 12 cases; grade of Kellgren-Lawrence: 2 cases of grade Ⅱ, 12 cases of grade Ⅲ, 14 cases of grade Ⅳ. There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups ( P>0.05). Postoperative hemoglobin, hematocrit, and their decreased values were recorded in the two groups, and perioperative range of motion (ROM) of knee and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores were compared between the two groups. Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up, with a follow-up time of 9.93±0.83 months (range, 8-11 months) in the robotic-assisted group and 9.59±0.97 months (range, 8-11 months) in the traditional surgery group. The application time of tourniquet in the robot-assisted group was 96.19±10.21 min, which was higher than that in the traditional surgery group (62.68±16.54 min), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=9.57, P<0.001). The total perioperative blood loss in the robot-assisted group was 534.59(411.85, 859.26) ml, which was higher than 411.32(313.42, 613.52) ml in the traditional surgery group, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.37, P=0.018). There were no significant differences in hemoglobin or hematocrit between the two groups at day 1 and 3 after surgery ( P>0.05). The hemoglobin decrease value in the robotic-assisted group was 19.63±9.73 g/L, which was greater than 14.71±5.84 g/L in the traditional surgery group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.40, P=0.020). The decrease value of hematocrit in the robot-assisted group was 5.77%±3.14%, which was greater than 4.09%±1.57% in the traditional operation group ( t=2.56, P=0.013). At the last follow-up, knee ROM of the two groups were 123.03°±5.91° and 125.82°±6.59°, respectively, which were higher than the preoperative values of 95.69°±11.64° and 90.29°±23.08°. Postoperative HSS scores were 89.50±4.19 points and 90.70±4.34 points, which were higher than 62.58±10.52 points and 61.09±12.66 points before operation, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between groups ( P>0.05). There were 6 cases of postoperative deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities in the robot-assisted group and 2 cases in the traditional surgery group, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ 2=0.88, P=0.348). Conclusion:Compared with traditional TKA, robotic-assisted TKA increased perioperative blood loss, and there was no difference in postoperative knee function between the two groups.

Objective To investigate the surgical strategies and clinical efficacy of transmitral septal myectomy in the treatment of recurrent left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) after alcohol septal ablation. Methods The clinical data of patients with recurrent LVOTO after alcohol septal ablation from July 2020 to July 2021 in the Department of Cardiac Surgery, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were preoperatively evaluated by echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac computed tomography, 3D modeling and printing technology. A personalized surgical strategy was preoperatively developed according to multimodality imaging assessment, while visual exploration was performed on the digital model and simulated surgical resection was performed on the printed model. Results Two female patients were enrolled, aged 62 years and 64 years, respectively. Totally endoscopic transmitral extended myectomy was successfully performed on both patients with aortic cross-clamping time of 96 min and 85 min, respectively. LVOTO was relieved immediately (subaortic peak pressure gradient decreased from 100 mm Hg to 4 mm Hg and from 84 mm Hg to 6 mm Hg, respectively) and the mitral regurgitation significantly improved after the procedure. No patient had complete atrioventricular block or required permanent pacemaker implantation. The patients were discharged uneventfully without postoperative complications. Conclusion Personalized totally endoscopic transmitral extended myectomy combined with multimodality imaging assessment and 3D modeling and printing has an acceptable clinical effect in patients with recurrent LVOTO after alcohol septal ablation. The procedure can precisely resect the hypertrophic septal myocardium while avoiding serious complications such as septal perforation or complete atrioventricular block.

Objective:To explore the effect of multiple integration correction training for articulation disorder in children with functional alalia disorders (FAD) .Methods:From January 2020 to June 2021, 68 children with FAD who received language function training in the Affiliated Huaian First People 's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were selected by convenience sampling. The children were divided into control group and observation group with the method of random number table, 34 cases each. The control group received routine speech training, while the observation group received multiple integration correction training for articulation disorder on the basis of the control group. The motor function of articulation organs, articulation syllable assessment results and speech function recovery were compared between the two groups before intervention (T1) , three months after intervention (T2) and six months after intervention (T3) . Results:After intervention, the longest articulation time, head control, lip strength, tongue extension range, left and right lip swing power of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . At T1, T2 and T3, there were interaction, inter group and time effects in the assessment results of articulation syllables of children in the two groups, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The scores of the modified Frenchay Dysarthria Assessment (FDA) in the two groups had interaction, inter group and time effects, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:In FAD children, the implementation of multiple integration correction training for articulation disorder can improve the motor function of articulation organs and the ability of articulation syllable repetition, thereby promoting the recovery of the children's speech function.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between dosimetric parameters and tumor volume change after 125I implantation for thyroid cancer and obtain better dosimetric parameters that predict the curative effect more accurately. Methods:A total of 22 consecutive patients with thyroid cancer (23 targets) who received 125I interstitial brachytherapy in Department of Oncology, Hebei General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients received post-operative dose verification, and the D 90 (Minimum dose received by 90% target volume) was calculated. After a regular follow-up, the tumor volume reduction ratio after t months (R t) , actual absorbed dose (D 1m) , efficacy corrected absorbed dose (D 1e) , and sensitivity corrected absorbed dose (D 1s) of the first month were calculated according to the actual follow-up CT images. The statistical test was carried out by SPSS21.0. The Spearman linear analysis was applied to analyze the relationship between D 90, D 1m, D 1e, D 1s and R t, and the curve fitting was also completed. Results:The post-operative D 90, D 1m, D 1e, D 1s and R t were (129.73±14.22) Gy, (36.95±7.35) Gy, (43.45±11.32) Gy, (41.78±13.39) Gy, and (32.00±19.00) %, respectively. And the correlation coefficient were 0.692, 0.551, 0.728, and 0.858, respectively, which showed significant positive relevance between dosimetric parameters and tumor volume change ( P<0.01) , the curve fitting presented cubic function. Conclusion:The post-operative D 90, D 1m, D 1e, and D 1s can be predictors for curative effect, and D 1s is the best predictor.

Objective:To explore the performance of the commonly used whole blood C-reactive protein (CRP) detection systems and give related recommendation on the performance requirements of detection systems.Methods:A total of 7 540 venous blood samples from 26 maternal, child and children′s hospitals were collected to conduct this multi-center study on the analytical performance of 5 commonly used whole blood CRP detection systems from March to April in 2019. The blank check, carryover, repeatability, intermediate precision, linearity, sample stability, influence of hematocrit/triglyceride/bilirubin, comparison with SIEMENS specific protein analyzer and trueness were evaluated. The 5 systems included BC-5390CRP autohematology analyzer, AstepPLUS specific protein analyzer, Ottoman-1000 Automated Specific Protein POCT Workstation, i-CHROMA Immunofluorometer equipment Reader and Orion QuikRead go detecting instrument. The 5 systems were labeled as a, b, c, d and e randomly.Results:Within the 5 systems, all values of blank check were less than 1.00 mg/L, the carryovers were lower than 1.00%. The repeatability of different ranges of CRP concentrations including 3.00-10.00, 10.00-30.00 and>30.00 mg/L were less than 10.00%, 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively, and the intermediate precision was less than 10.00%. The linearity correlation coefficients of the 5 systems were all above 0.975, while the slope was within 0.950-1.050. Whole blood samples were stable within 72 hours both at room temperature (18-25 ℃) and refrigerated temperature (2-8 ℃). The CRP results were rarely influenced by high triglyceride or bilirubin, except for the immmunoturbidimetric test based on microparticles coated with anti-human CRP F(ab) 2 fragments. When triglyceride was less than 15.46 mmol/L, the deviation of CRP was less than 10.00%. When bilirubin was less than 345.47 μmol/L, the deviation of CRP was less than 10.00%. CRP was more susceptible to Hct on the systems without Hct correction. The deviation of CRP between different Hct dilution concentration and 40% dilution concentration can reach as high as 67.48%. The correlation coefficients ( r) of 5 systems were all more than 0.975 in the range of 0-300.00 mg/L compared with Siemens specific protein analyzer. All systems passed the trueness verification using the samples with specified values of 12.89 and 30.60 mg/L. Conclusion:The performance of 5 systems can basically meet the clinical needs, but it is suggested that the whole blood CRP detection system without automatic Hct correction should be modified manually.

As one of the most lethal diseases, pancreatic cancer shows a dismal overall prognosis and high resistance to most treatment modalities. Furthermore, pancreatic cancer escapes early detection during the curable period because early symptoms rarely emerge and specific markers for this disease have not been found. Although combinations of new drugs, multimodal therapies, and adjuvants prolong survival, most patients still relapse after surgery and eventually die. Consequently, the search for more effective treatments for pancreatic cancer is highly relevant and justified. As a newly re-discovered mediator of gasotransmission, hydrogen sulfide (H
