Objective To investigate the impact of not using drainage on clinical outcomes after arthroscopic autologous semitendinosus tendon reconstruction with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.Methods From March 2022 to June 2023,59 patients undergoing arthroscopic autologous semitendinosus tendon reconstruction with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in Lincang People's Hospital were collected and randomly divided into the non-drainage group consisting of 29 cases(observation group)and the 24-hour drainage group consisting of 30 cases(control group).The pain levels of the two groups of patients were recorded on the 1st,3rd,7th,14th,and 30th day after the surgery by using a visual analog scale.Additionally,the knee joint range of motion,length of hospital stay,and occurrence of postoperative complications were monitored.The circumference of the thigh was measured before and after the surgery,and the difference was calculated.Results Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed that there were statistically significant within-subject differences in pain ratings,thigh circumference,and knee joint range of motion(P<0.05),but no statistically significant between-subject differences(P>0.05).Independent samples t-tests showed that on the first day after the surgery,the observation group had lower pain ratings(P<0.001),and higher thigh circumference and knee joint range of motion compared to the control group(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in pain ratings,knee joint range of motion,and thigh circumference between the two groups at the remaining follow-up times(P>0.05);The observation group had a shorter hospital stay than the control group(P<0.001);Both groups of patients had no complications such as lower limb nerve damage,deep vein thrombosis,knee joint infection,or hematomas requiring puncture and aspiration.Conclusion In the early postoperative period following arthroscopic autologous hamstring tendon reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament,the omission of drainage does not affect the clinical outcomes in terms of pain,knee joint mobility,and thigh circumference.Moreover,omitting drainage reduces the level of pain experienced by patients on the first day after the surgery,improves the knee joint mobility,and decreases the length of hospital stay.Therefore,in arthroscopic autologous hamstring tendon reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament,it is not recommended to routinely use drainage for preventive purposes.

Objective:To explore the clinical application of three-dimensional CT angiography (3D-CTA) in repair of limb wounds with free lateral thoracic perforator flaps.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 61 patients with limb soft tissue defects who had been treated at The Third Department of Orthopedics, Xingtai General Hospital of North China Medical and Health Group from January 2018 to September 2022. There were 37 males and 24 females with an age of (43.9±12.0) years. Thirty-three left and 28 right sides were injured. Soft tissue defects ranged from 4.0 cm × 3.0 cm to 17.0 cm × 8.0 cm, and flap areas from 5.0 cm × 4.0 cm to 18.0 cm × 9.0 cm. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the different preoperative vascular exploration methods: an ultrasound group of 30 cases subjected to ultrasound Doppler examination and a 3D-CTA group of 31 cases subjected to 3D-CTA examination. The preoperative findings were compared with those of intraoperative exploration in the 2 groups. The operation time, flap survival rate, patient satisfaction with trauma repair, sensory recovery of the flap area, and the excellent and good rate of the donor area were also compared between the 2 groups.Results:The differences in preoperative general data between the 2 groups were not statistically significant, indicating the 2 groups were comparable ( P>0.05). In the ultrasound group, the inraoperative classification of the lateral thoracic perforator flaps showed a low concordance with preoperative classification (Kappa coefficient of 0.104, P=0.088). In the 3D-CTA group, the classification of lateral thoracic perforator flaps was consistent with the preoperative 3D-CTA examination (Kappa coefficient of 1.00, P<0.001). The preoperative measurements in the 3D-CTA group found that the diameter at the origin of the lateral thoracic artery was (1.2±0.3) mm, the vascular pedicle length (8.1±2.1) cm, and the diameter at the perforator exit (0.6±0.2) mm; the preoperative surface positioning at the perforator exit found that the perforator exit was (1.6±0.3) cm above the horizontal line of the subscapular angle and (5.3±1.4) cm outside the vertical line of the subscapular angle. These measurements were similar to the intraoperative ones [(1.1±0.3) mm, (8.3±2.4) cm, (0.7±0.2) mm, (1.5±0.4) cm, and (5.2±1.5) cm], showing no significant differences ( P>0.05). In contrast, the preoperative measurements of the above indexes in the ultrasound group did not coincide with the actual intraoperative measurements, and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05). The operation time, flap survival rate, rate of patient satisfaction with wound repair, rate of sensory recovery in the flap area, and the excellence and good rate of the donor area in the 3D-CTA group were (52.9±16.7) min, 100.0% (31/31), 96.8% (30/31), 83.9% (26/31), and 87.1% (27/31), respectively, which were significantly better than those in the ultrasound group [(76.3±21.4) min, 86.7% (26/30), 76.7% (23/30), 60.0% (18/30), 63.3% (20/30)] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:As preoperative 3D-CTA examination can clarify the types and anatomical characteristics of the lateral thoracic artery and its perforators, it helps the design and harvest of the lateral thoracic perforator flaps. Compared with the ultrasound Doppler examination, preoperative 3D-CTA examination shortens operation time, raises survival rate of the flaps, and facilitates recovery of the appearance and function of the limb wounds, and leads to little impact on the donor site.

Objective:To explore the cutting scheme and clinical application effects of ultrathin thoracodorsal artery perforator flap assisted by color Doppler ultrasound.Methods:This study was a retrospective historical control study. From February 2017 to October 2019, 20 patients who were admitted to the Third Department of Orthopedics of Xingtai General Hospital of North China Medical and Health Group (hereinafter referred to as our department), met the inclusion criteria, and underwent repair of skin and soft tissue defects of extremities with ultrathin thoracodorsal artery perforator flap designed and harvested based on the surgeon's clinical experience were selected as control group, including 16 males and 4 females, aged (37±5) years. From November 2019 to December 2022, 21 patients who were admitted to our department, met the inclusion criteria, and underwent repair of skin and soft tissue defects of extremities with ultrathin thoracodorsal artery perforator flap designed and harvested under the assistance of color Doppler ultrasound were selected as ultrasound-assisted group, including 15 males and 6 females, aged (38±6) years. After debridement, the area of skin and soft tissue defects of extremities ranged 5.0 cm×4.0 cm to 19.0 cm×8.0 cm, and the area of thoracodorsal artery perforator flaps ranged 6.0 cm×5.0 cm to 20.0 cm×9.0 cm. The wounds in flap donor sites were closed directly. For patients in ultrasound-assisted group, the time and cost required for color Doppler ultrasound examination were recorded, and the number, type, and location of thoracodorsal artery perforator vessels detected by preoperative color Doppler ultrasound were compared with those of intraoperative actual detection. The time required for complete flap harvest of patients in 2 groups was recorded. On postoperative day (POD) 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14, the blood perfusion of flaps in the 2 groups of patients was assessed using a flap perfusion assessment scale. On POD 14, flap survival of patients in 2 groups was observed, and the percentage of flap survival area was calculated. In postoperative 6 months, satisfaction of patients with the treatment outcome in the 2 groups was assessed using 5-grade Likert scale, and the satisfaction rate was calculated.Results:For patients in ultrasound-assisted group, the time required for preoperative color Doppler ultrasound examination was (10.5±2.3) min, and the cost was 120 yuan; 21 thoracodorsal artery perforator vessels were detected and marked using preoperative color Doppler ultrasound, including 8 (38.10%) type 1 perforator vessels, 10 (47.62%) type 2 perforator vessels, and 3 (14.29%) type 3 perforator vessels; the number, type, and location of thoracodorsal artery perforator vessels detected preoperatively were consistent with those detected intraoperatively. The time required for complete flap harvest of patients in ultrasound-assisted group was (41±10) min, which was significantly shorter than (63±12) min in control group ( t=6.32, P<0.05). On POD 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14, the blood perfusion scores of flaps of patients in ultrasound-assisted group were significantly better than those in control group (with t values of 6.67, 7.48, 8.03, 8.75, and 7.99, respectively P<0.05). On POD 14, only one patient in ultrasound-assisted group had partial flap necrosis and 6 patients in control group had complete or partial necrosis of the flap; the percentage of flap survival area of patients in ultrasound-assisted group was (99±8)%, which was significantly higher than (87±8)% in control group ( t=4.57, P<0.05). In postoperative 6 months, there was no significant difference in the satisfaction rate of patients with the treatment outcome between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative color Doppler ultrasound is highly accurate in detecting the number, type, and location of perforator vessels. The cutting scheme of ultrathin thoracodorsal artery perforator flaps can be designed according to the different types of perforator vessels, with shorted flap cutting time and improved flap survival rate.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of augmented reality training based on enriched environment on walking dysfunction after stroke. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to June, 2022, 36 stroke patients in the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were randomly divided into control group (n = 18) and experimental group (n = 18). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation treatment. The control group was supplemented with conventional walking training, and the experimental group was supplemented with augmented reality training based on enriched environment, for four weeks. They were assessed with Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), 10-meter walk test (10MWT) and Barthel Index (BI) before and after treatment, and the gait parameter was compared. ResultsNo adverse event occurred during treatment. After treatment, the BBS score, TUGT time, 10MWT speed, BI, gait speed, gait frequency and the proportion of single-leg support on the affected side significantly improved in both groups (|t| > 5.161, P < 0.001). All the above indexes were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.106, P < 0.05), except for BI (t = 1.099, P = 0.282). ConclusionAugmented reality training based on enriched environment could improve the walking function of paitents after stroke, which is better than conventional walking training.

Objective:To analyze the different clinicopathological features of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with and without viral hepatitis.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 79 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cases from Mar 2012 to Sep 2018 at Henan Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Twenty-five of the 79 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma were accompanied by viral hepatitis. Those with viral hepatitis had a lower mean age at onset than those without [(53±11) years vs. (60±11) years, P=0.011], higher proportion of male patients (80% vs. 52%, P=0.017), higher AFP positive rate (40% vs. 19%, P=0.041), lower CA19-9 positive rate (48% vs. 72%, P=0.036), tend to occur in the right liver lobe (76% vs. 44%, P=0.009), a lower rate of bile duct invasion (16% vs. 41%, P=0.03), and were more likely to be mass type (mass type proportion 96% vs. 72%, P=0.032). Conclusions:Viral hepatitis is common in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with and without viral hepatitis differ in clinicopathology. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with viral hepatitis is more likely to have the characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma, while intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma without viral hepatitis is more likely to have the characteristics of cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of tripartite motif containing 59(TRIM59) on the biological function of human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells and its possible mechanism.
Methods:
The recombinant TRIM59 interference plasmid(si-TRIM59) was constructed and transfected into colorectal cancer cell line HCT116 by liposome transfection. The transfection efficiency was verified by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The effects of TRIM59 gene silencing on the proliferation, colony-formation ability and cell cycle of colorectal cancer cells were detected by CCK-8 method, colony formation assays and flow cytometry respectively. Western blot was used to detect the expression level of CDK4 and cyclinD1.
Results:
The expression levels ofTRIM59mRNA and protein in colorectal cancer cells were significantly higher than those in normal colorectal mucosa cells(P<0. 05). After knockdown of TRIM59expression, the proliferation activity and colony forming ability of HCT116 cells were significantly inhibited(P<0. 05), and the cell cycle was arrested in G0/G1 phase. At the same time, the expression levels of CDK4and CyclinD1 significantly decreased(P<0. 05).
Conclusion
TRIM59was highly expressed in colorectal cancer cells. Down regulation ofTRIM59expression can inhibit the proliferation and clone formation of colorectal cancer cells, suggesting thatTRIM59may become a new target for gene therapy of colorectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flaps assisted with computed tomography angiography (CTA) in repairing skin and soft tissue defects around the knee or in proximal lower leg.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. From May 2015 to October 2019, 17 patients with skin and soft tissue defects around the knee or in proximal lower leg were admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of Jizhong Energy Xingtai Mig General Hospital, including 12 males and 5 females, aged 16-65 years, with an average age of 35 years. The areas of skin and soft tissue defects after debridement ranged from 6.0 cm×3.0 cm to 15.0 cm×9.0 cm. The retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flaps were designed according to the origin and distribution of the perforating branches in flaps and the length of the vascular pedicle examined with CTA and the condition of the wound to repair the wounds. The areas of resected flaps ranged from 6.5 cm×3.5 cm to 15.5 cm×9.5 cm. The wounds in donor sites of flaps were sutured directly or covered with medium-thickness skin grafts from healthy upper leg. The sources of the perforating branches in flaps were recorded. The lateral circumflex femoral artery, its branches, and the relative length of the vascular pedicle were compared between preoperative CTA detection and intraoperative observation. The survivals of the flaps were observed. At the last follow-up, the effects of flaps in repairing wounds were evaluated according to evaluation standard of efficacy satisfaction; the motion ranges of flexion and extension of the knee joint were measured, and the knee joint function was evaluated according to the Hohl knee joint function evaluation standard; the sensory function in the flap area was evaluated according to the sensory function evaluation standard formulated by the British Medical Research Council; the wound healing and the occurrence of complication affecting motor function of limb of flap donor sites was observed. Data were statistically analyzed with paired sample t test. Results:The perforating branches in flaps originated from descending branches, oblique branches, and rectus femoris branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery in 7, 6, and 4 patients, respectively. The flaps with blood supply from descending branches, oblique branches, and rectus femoris branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery were type 1, 2, and 3 retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flaps, respectively. The preoperative CTA examination of lateral circumflex femoral artery and its branches were consistent with those observed during operation. The relative lengths of vascular pedicles of type 1, 2, and 3 retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flaps calculated after CTA examination were 0.32±0.13, 0.56±0.07, and 0.56±0.15, which were close to 0.35±0.12, 0.52±0.10, and 0.53±0.12 measured and calculated during operation, respectively ( t=0.45, 0.80, 0.31, P>0.05). All flaps survived in 17 cases without vascular crisis. At the last follow-up, 16 patients were satisfied with effects of flaps in wound repair, with 1 patient feeling average about the effect; the flexion range of knee joint was 100-120°, and the extension range of knee joint was -2-0°; knee joint function was evaluated as excellent in 9 cases, good in 7 cases, and poor in 1 case; the sensory function of the flap area reached S 4 level in 2 cases, S 3 level in 8 cases, and S 2 level in 7 cases; the wounds in flap donor sites healed well; there was no adverse effect in motor function of limbs. Conclusions:Retrograde anterolateral thigh perforator flap is an effective method for repairing skin and soft tissue defects around the knee or in proximal lower leg. Preoperative CTA examination can fully show the anatomical characteristics of the branches of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and the perforating vessels of each branch, which can guide preoperative flap design and operation, thus shortening operation time and improving flap survival rate, with good clinical effects.
