Objective:To analyze the clinical features and surgical outcomes of petrous bone cholesteatomas (PBCs).Methods:Data from 39 PBCs patients treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Xijing Hospital from September 2011 to December 2017 were reviewed retrospectively, including 23 males, 16 femals, aged 12-71 years old, with the median age of 37. Clinical classifications, surgical methods, facial and hearing function, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were made summary analysis.Results:In this study, five patients were congenital PBCs and 34 patients were acquired PBCs. The common clinical symptoms were hearing loss (100%, 39/39), ear discharge/pus (89.7%, 35/39) and facial paralysis (46.2%, 18/39). According to Sanna′s classification, 14 cases were supralabyrinthine, including three cases underwent transcochlear (TC) approach, six cases underwent transotic (TO) approach and five underwent translabyrinthine (TL) approach. 10 cases were infralabyrinthine, including eight cases underwent subtotal petrosectomy, one case underwent TO approach and one underwent TL approach.10 cases were massive, including seven cases underwent TC approach, three cases underwent TO approach. Five cases were infralabyrinthine-apical, including two cases underwent TC approach, two cases underwent TO approach, and one case underwent endoscope assisted infratemporal fossa type B. The degree of facial nerve (FN) dysfunction from high to low was massive (6/10), supralabyrinthine (8/14), infralabyrinthine-apical (2/5) and infralabyrinthine (2/10). 19 cases involved in facial nerve operation, three cases underwent FN decompression, four cases underwent FN rerouting, four cases underwent nerve grafting, and one case underwent facial-hypoglossal anastomosis. Preoperative FN involvement in 18 cases, and the FN function was improved in 14 cases after surgery. The improved rate of postoperative FN function was 77.8%. The bone conducted hearing retained 50.0% (14/28) postoperatively. Five cases with cerebrospinal fluid leak were managed by inserting free muscle plugs and cavity obliteration. Two cases with the cholesteatomas matrix involved the sigmoid sinus and the jugular bulb, and occlusion of the sigmoid sinus was performed. Postoperatively, two patients presented with synkinesis. The patients were followed up for 40 to 115 months, and there was no recurrence.Conclusions:There are no specific clinical manifestations for PBCs, thus, it is difficult in early diagnosis and treatment. According to Sanna′s classification, preoperative FN and hearing function, the best surgical approach should be selected with minimal recurrences and perioperative morbidity.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of using INFIX combined with hollow nail in the treatment of anterior pelvic ring injury with symphyseolysis.Methods:Data of 12 patients with anterior pelvic ring injury and symphyseolysis who were treated from January 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. They were 8 males and 4 females with an average age of 39.5 years (range, 23-64 years). There were 4 cases of traffic injury, 3 cases of falling injury and 5 cases of crush injury; all the cases were combined with front and rear crush injury. According to Tile classification for pelvic fractures, there were 6 cases of type B1 , 3 cases of type B3, 1 case of type C1 and 2 cases of type C2. Six cases of B1 and 3 cases of B3 patients used percutaneous inter fixation with sacroiliac joint cannulated screw in posterior ring; 1 case of C1 and 2 cases of C2 used spinal-pelvic fixation. Every patients' operating time of INFIX combined with the pubic symphysis hollow nail , amount of hemorrhage, length of incisions and number of X-ray projections were recorded. Pelvic X-ray and CT scan were taken postoperatively to observe the reduction and screw position. Postoperative reduction quality was assessed using Matta radiological criteria and Majeed criteria was used at the final follow-up to evaluate the pelvic function.Results:The average operating time for 12 patients was 42 min (range, 35-56 min) ; the average amount of hemorrhage was 28 ml (range, 15-40 ml); the average length of incision at INFIX nail placement on both sides were 2.7 cm (range, 2.2-3.5 cm); the average length of incisions at the pubic symphysis hollow nail placement was 0.8 cm (range, 0.6-1.2 cm) and the average number of X-ray projections was 38 times (range, 26-55 times). Postoperative X-ray and CT scan showed that all the hollow screws are located accurately and firmly, and pubic symphysis had good reduction and no infection occurred in the surgical incision at the screw placement site. Postoperative reduction quality was evaluated according to Matta radiological criteria, and there were excellent in 10 and good in 2, giving an excellent to good rate of 100% (12/12). The average follow-up time for the 12 patients was 12 months (range, 6-15 months). At the final follow-up, all patients showed fine fracture union and no looseness of pubic symphysis occurred according to imaging test. According to the Majeed criteria, the pelvic function was excellent in 8 cases, good in 3 cases and fair in 1 case, giving a good to excellent rate of 91.7% (11/12). One case developed symptoms of femoral nerve compression after surgery and returned to normal after removal of the INFIX. Another case had damage to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and the symptoms disappeared after three months.Conclusion:Using INFIX combined with hollow nail in the treatment of symphyseolysis can lead to more minimally invasive with excellent postoperative efficacy and markedly reduced the morbidity of complication.

Objective:
To evaluate the predictive value of GRACE discharge score on the long-term out-of-hospital coronary thrombotic events (CTE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents.
Methods:
Present study was a prospective, observational, single center study. 10 724 consecutive patients underwent PCI in Fuwai Hospital between January and December 2013 were included, stents were implanted with conventional method. After PCI, patients were prescribed aspirin 100 mg once daily indefinitely, and either clopidogrel 75 mg once daily or ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily for at least 1 year. A total of 9 782 patients were included in the final analysis after excluding patients who did not undergo successful stent implantation, who were not discharged on dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT), who only underwent bare-metal stents, who experienced in-hospital major bleeding, stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction (MI) or death,and who lost follow up. Clinical data were collected from all patients. 9 543 patients with complete baseline data were further analyzed for risk stratification and predictive value of GRACE discharge score. CTE was defined as stent thrombosis or spontaneous myocardial infarction. All patients were followed through Fuwai Hospital Follow-up Center, and evaluated either by phone, letter, or clinic visits or at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months after PCI. Risk stratification was performed according to the GRACE discharge score, and the predictive value of the GRACE discharge score was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results:
After 2 years follow-up, there were 95 CTE among the 9 782 patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of CTE: CTE group (95 cases) and no CTE group (9 687 cases). GRACE discharge score was significantly higher in CTE group than no CTE group (82.98±27.58 vs. 75.51±22.46,

Objective:
This study sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FIREHAWK, a novel abluminal groove-filled biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in patients with moderate-complex coronary lesions (including patients with small vessel disease, long lesion and multi vessel disease), and to validate the ability of the SYNTAX score (SS) to predict clinical outcomes in patients treated with FIREHAWK stent.
Methods:
TARGETⅡ was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial, a total of 730 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of de novo lesions in native coronary arteries in 24 medical centers in China from August 2011 to February 2012 were enrolled in this study. All patients were exclusively treated with the FIREHAWK stent. Clinical data including patients with diabetes, small vessel disease, long lesion and multi vessel disease were analyzed. The primary composite endpoint was the target lesion failure (TLF) of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction (TV-MI), or target lesion revascularization (TLR). The secondary composite endpoint was patient-oriented endpoint (PoCE), a composite of all death, all myocardial in farction (MI), or any repeat revascularization; definite/probable stent thrombosis (ST) (including acute, late, and very late thrombosis) . SS was calculated in lesions with stenosis more than 50% with coronary artery diameter greater than 1.5 mm. Patients were grouped by tertiles of SS (≤7, >7 to ≤12, >12). Follow-up was performed up to 5 years.
Results:
A total of 730 patients were enrolled in the TARGET Ⅱ trial. The average SS was 10.9±6.9. 683 (93.6%) patients completed 5-year clinical follow-up. The 5-year incidence of TLF was 8.5%(58/683). The incidence of TLF components was as follows: cardiac death 2.0%(14/683), TV-MI 4.4%(30/683), TLR 3.4%(23/683). The incidence of PoCE was 16.4%(112/683). The incidence of definite/probable stent thrombosis was 0.7%(5/683).Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that the diabetes subgroup (
