BACKGROUND:High tibial osteotomy results in massive blood loss during the perioperative period.Tranexamic acid can effectively reduce perioperative blood loss.However,the method of tranexamic acid application has not been unified. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and safety of different methods of tranexamic acid on perioperative blood loss in the high tibial osteotomy. METHODS:A total of 160 patients who underwent primary unilateral high tibial osteotomy in the Binzhou Medical University Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021,including 69 males and 91 females,were randomly divided into four groups(n=40 per group).Among them,40 patients were given an intravenous infusion of saline containing 2 g tranexamic acid 10 minutes before tourniquet release(venous group);40 patients were given an intravenous infusion of 1 g tranexamic acid and 1 g tranexamic acid was injected through a drainage tube after the closure of the incision(combined group);40 patients were given 2 g tranexamic acid infusion into drainage tube after the closure of the incision(perfusion group);an additional 40 patients were given an intravenous infusion of the same amount of normal saline(blank group).The general information was compared among the four groups of patients.The hemoglobin,hematocrit,intraoperative blood loss,drainage volume,blood transfusion rate,incision complication,and the incidence of deep vein thrombosis were recorded on days 1,3 and 5 after operation in the four groups.The total blood loss and hidden blood loss were calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no statistically significant difference in general information among the four groups.(2)No significant difference was found in intraoperative blood loss among the four groups.(3)The maximum decreased values of hemoglobin and hematocrit on days 1,3 and 5 after operation,drainage volume,total blood loss and hidden blood loss were all ranked as the combined group

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that posterior cruciate ligament injuries are associated with the anatomical morphology of the knee joint. OBJECTIVE:To explore anatomical morphological risk factors for posterior cruciate ligament injury. METHODS:The imaging data of 142 patients who visited Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University for knee joint problems from January 2015 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into posterior cruciate ligament injury group(n=71,including 49 males and 22 females)and posterior cruciate ligament intact group(n=71,including 49 males and 22 females).Intercondylar notch width,intercondylar notch height,bicondyle width,notch width index,angle of intercondylar notch,Blumensaat's line inlication angle,medial tibial spine height,lateral tibial spine height,tibial spine width,tibiofemoral consistency index,tibial plateau anterior-posterior diameter,medial tibial depth and patellar tendon-tibial shaft angle were measured on MRI images.Posterior tibial slope was measured on X-ray images.The above indicators were included in the logistic regression analysis for investigation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Univariate logistic regression analysis in men showed that tibial spine width,tibiofemoral consistency index,medial tibial depth,and posterior tibial slope were associated with posterior cruciate ligament injury(P<0.05).Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that tibiofemoral consistency index and medial tibial depth were associated with posterior cruciate ligament damage(P<0.05).(2)Univariate logistic regression analysis in women showed that medial tibial spine height,lateral tibial spine height,tibial spine width,and posterior tibial slope were associated with posterior cruciate ligament injury(P<0.05).Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that posterior tibial slope was associated with posterior cruciate ligament damage(P<0.05).(3)The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that tibiofemoral consistency index,medial tibial depth and posterior tibial slope had a certain predictive value on posterior cruciate ligament damage.(4)These findings suggest that anatomical morphological risk factors for posterior cruciate ligament injury differ between men and women,and tibial spine width and posterior tibial slope are common risk factors.In the male population,abnormal tibial spine width,tibiofemoral consistency index,medial tibial depth,and posterior tibial slope are easy to induce posterior cruciate ligament injury.In the female population,abnormal medial tibial spine height,lateral tibial spine height,tibial spine width,and posterior tibial slope are easy to induce posterior cruciate ligament injury.Clinicians can use the above risk factors to identify abnormal knee morphology,assess people at risk of posterior cruciate ligament injury,and provide preventive advice and guidance for treatment.

Objective To investigate the correlation between baseline data,early treatment response and prognosis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL).Methods Ninety-two children with ALL were divided into the endpoint event group(19 cases)and the event-free survival group(73 cases)according to whether there was an endpoint event(recurrence or death).The age and gender at initial diagnosis were recorded.Initial white blood cell count(WBC),platelet count(PLT),immunophenotype,chromosome karyotype,fusion gene,prednisone test,bone marrow remission status on the 15th day of induction chemotherapy and minimal residual disease(MRD)on the 15th,33rd and 55th day of induction chemotherapy were detected.The correlation between the above baseline data and early treatment response and the occurrence of endpoint event in children with ALL was analyzed.Logistic regression was used to analyze influencing factors of endpoint events in children with ALL.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to evaluate the predictive value of baseline data and early treatment response to endpoint events in children with ALL.Results The proportion of WBC≥100×109/L at first diagnosis,prednisone poor reaction and positive MRD on the 33rd day of induction chemotherapy were higher in the endpoint event group than those in the event-free survival group(P<0.05),and there were no significance differences in remaining indicators(P>0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that prednisone poor reaction and positive MRD on the 33rd day of induction chemotherapy were risk factors for endpoint event in children with ALL(P<0.05),and the combined value of the two indicators was better than that of a single indicator in predicting endpoint events in children with ALL.Conclusion Prednisone poor reaction and positive MRD on the 33rd day of induction chemotherapy are associated with recurrence and death in children with ALL.

Purpose: Reduced quality of life after cystectomy has made bladder preservation a popular research topic for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Previous research has indicated significant tumor downstaging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). However, maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) was performed before NAC to define the pathology, impacting the real evaluation of NAC. This research aimed to assess real NAC efficacy without interference from TURBT and apply combined modality therapies guided by NAC efficacy. Materials and Methods: Patients with cT2-4aN0M0 MIBC were confirmed by cystoscopic biopsy and imaging. NAC efficacy was assessed by imaging, urine cytology, and cystoscopy with multidisciplinary team discussion. Definite responders (≤ T1) underwent TURBT plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Incomplete responders underwent radical cystectomy or partial cystectomy if feasible. The primary endpoint was the bladder preservation rate. Results: Fifty-nine patients were enrolled, and the median age was 63 years. Patients with cT3-4 accounted for 75%. The median number of NAC cycles was three. Definite responders were 52.5%. The complete response (CR) was 10.2%, and 59.3% of patients received bladder-sparing treatments. With a median follow-up of 44.6 months, the 3-year overall survival (OS) was 72.8%. Three-year OS and relapse-free survival were 88.4% and 60.0% in the bladder-sparing group but only 74.3% and 37.5% in the cystectomy group. The evaluations of preserved bladder function were satisfactory. Conclusion After stratifying MIBC patients by NAC efficacy, definite responders achieved a satisfactory bladder-sparing rate, prognosis, and bladder function. The CR rate reflected the real NAC efficacy for MIBC. This therapy is worth verifying through multicenter research.

In November 4, 2016, a 1 year and 3 months old male patient with face and neck scald complicated with severe scald of oropharynx was admitted to Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital 1 hour after injury. The child developed upper respiratory tract obstruction 2 hours after injury, therefore tracheotomy and intubation were performed immediately to establish an artificial airway, and symptomatic treatments such as anti-infection, fluid replacement, and dressing change were conducted. On the 10th day after injury, the child had difficult breathing during the test tube blocking before extubation, and it was difficult to extubate. Symptomatic treatments such as ventilator assisted ventilation and strengthened anti-infection were continued. On the 17th day after injury, extubation plan was adjusted. Thirty minutes before extubation, phenobarbital was injected intramuscularly for sedation, and atropine was used to reduce airway secretions, after which extubation was successful. After 21 days of treatment, the child was cured and discharged. In the treatment of this case, high attention was paid to the important influence of children′s mental factors among causes of difficult extubation, which provided a reference for clinical treatment of extubation in children with tracheal tube after tracheotomy.

Objective To improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis of renal vein tumor thrombus in renal cell carcinoma (RCC),the clinical characteristics of RCC with misdiagnosis of renal vein tumor thrombus (RVTT) were analyzed.Methods Clinical data of 128 patients with RCC accompanied with RVTT from January 2000 to September 2015 were studied retrospectively.According to whether RVTT failed to be detected preoperatively,all patients were divided into 39 cases of misdiagnosis group and 89 cases of no misdiagnosis group.Forty cases of RCC with pathologically confirmed no RVTT were selected as no tumor thrombus group from January 2015 to June 2015.Misdiagnosis group included 29 males and 10 females,with age of (61.4 ± 11.1) years old,body mass index of (26.74 ±3.12) kg/m2,KPS ＜80 in 2 cases,paraneoplastic syndrome and Mayo grade 0 in 1 case.No misdiagnosis group consisted of 74 males and 15 females,with age of (60.2 ± 9.7) years old,body mass index of (25.12 ± 1.93) kg/m2,KPS ＜ 80 in 5 cases,paraneoplastic syndrome and Mayo grade 0 in 7 cases.No tumor thrombus group comprised of 31 males and 9 females,with age of (59.5 ± 10.7) years old,body mass index of (24.48 ± 2.56) kg/m2,KPS ＜ 80 in 3 cases,and paraneoplastic syndrome in 3 cases.There was no significant difference in general clinical data between misdiagnosis group and no misdiagnosis group,and misdiagnosis group and no tumor thrombus group (P ＞ 0.05).The tumor location,tumor diameter and imaging data were compared between misdiagnosis group and no misdiagnosis group,and misdiagnosis group and no tumor thrombus group.Results There was no significant difference in term of tumor locating in the middle pole [56.4％ (22/39) vs.38.2％ (34/89)],tumor with collateral vessels [33.3％ (13/39) vs.31.5％ (28/89)] and renal vein contrast agents filling defect [42.9％ (9/21) vs.61.8％ (21/34)] between misdiagnosis group and no misdiagnosis group (P ＞ 0.05).The proportion of renal tumor locating in the middle pole,tumor with collateral vessels and renal vein contrast agents filling defect in misdiagnosis group was significantly higher than that of no tumor thrombus group [30.0％ (12/40),P =0.018;10.0％ (4/40),P =0.012;16.7％ (4/24),P =0.002].Conclusions RVTT is vulnerable of misdianosis in RCC.It should be alert to the possibility of complicating tumor thrombus in the presence of renal tumor locating in the middle pole,renal tumor with collateral vessels and renal vein contrast agents filling defect.The clinical understanding of these features should be improved.

Objective: To analyze the causes of complication of early acute kidney injury (AKI) in four severely burned patients, and to explore the related treatment methods. Methods: The clinical data of 4 patients with severe burn complicated with early AKI admitted to Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Jinan University (hereinafter referred to as our hospital) from June 2014 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were male, aged 23-33 (30±5) years old, with depth of burns ranged from deep partial-thickness to full-thickness, complicated with myofascial compartment syndrome of extremities and varying degrees of striated muscle injury, and treated in other hospitals before transfer to our hospital. The patients were numbered from small to large according to the total burn area. The total burn area of patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 was 10%, 80%, 90%, and 95% total body surface area respectively, their occurrence time of early AKI was 48, 11, 29, and 48 hours after injury respectively, and their time of arriving our hospital was 60, 11, 29, and 144 hours after injury respectively. Hypovolemic shock occurred in patients No. 2 and 3 at admission to our hospital. All the patients received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after admission to our hospital. Under the support of hemodynamic monitoring and organ function monitoring, the limbs complicated with myofascial compartment syndrome were incised, thorough decompression exploration was performed, and necrotic muscle tissue was removed or amputation was performed. After escharectomy and decompression of limbs, fresh granulation wounds were formed by temporarily covering wounds with Jieya dressing skin or pig skin, multiple debridements, and vacuum sealing drainage. Fresh granulation wounds and other wounds underwent staged eschar excision and shaving were covered with autologous Meek skin graft, particulate skin graft, reticular skin graft and small skin graft respectively. The treatment outcome, CRRT time, operation times, time of recovery of serum creatinine and myoglobin, length of hospital stay, and follow-up were recorded. Results: All the 4 patients were cured after transfer to our hospital. Among them, totally 5 limbs of patients No. 1 and No. 4 underwent amputation because of complication of myofascial compartment syndrome and a large amount of necrotic muscle which could not be preserved. Patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 were treated with CRRT for 19, 35, 14, and 25 days respectively and performed with operation for 5, 6, 10, 8 times respectively. Serum creatinine of patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 returned to normal on 22, 35, 37, and 48 days after transfer respectively, and their serum myoglobin returned to normal on 18, 28, 25, and 30 days after transfer respectively. Patients No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 were hospitalized for 52, 105, 148, and 156 days and discharged after basic wound healing. Follow-up for 1 to 36 months showed no abnormal renal function in 4 patients. Conclusions The early AKI in patients No. 1 and 4 was caused by rhabdomyolysis after severe burn complicated with myofascial compartment syndrome, while that of the other 2 cases were also related to hypovolemic shock and poor renal perfusion. The success rate of early AKI treatment in severely burned patients can be effectively improved by removing the causes of diseases at the same time of CRRT and actively treating burn wounds under the support of organ function and hemodynamic monitoring.

OBJECTIVE： To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 6 components in Chaihuang tablets， such as baicalin， wogonoside， baicalein， wogonin， saikosaponin a and saikosaponin d in Chaihuang tablets. METHODS： HPLC-DAD method was used to detect 3 batches of Chaihuang tablets from same manufacturers. The determination was performed on Agilent Eclipse XDB-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-triethylamine phosphate aqueous solution （pH adjusted to 7.0， gradient elution） at flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were set at 210 nm （saikosaponin a， saikosaponin d） and 277 nm （baicalin， wogonoside， baicalein， wogonin）. The column temperature was 30 ℃， and sample size was 5 μL. RESULTS： The linear ranges of baicalin， wogonoside， baicalein， wogonin， saikosaponin a and saikosaponin d were 0.379 5-7.590 4 μg，   0.082 96-1.659 2 μg， 0.039 39-0.787 8 μg， 0.040 72-0.814 4 μg， 0.040 45-0.809 0 μg， 0.038 63-0.772 6 μg （all r≥0.999 3）， respectively. The limits of detection were 0.008， 0.007， 0.005， 0.005， 0.020 and 0.018 μg/mL. The limits of quantitation were 0.025， 0.022， 0.015， 0.015， 0.060， 0.054 μg/mL. RSDs of precision， reproducibility and stability tests （48 h） were all lower than 1.5％ （n＝6）. Average recoveries were 98.46％， 97.06％， 100.90％， 96.13％， 96.91％， 96.57％ （RSD＜2.0％， n＝6）. CONCLUSIONS： Established method is simple， accurate and reproducible for 6 components in Chaihuang tablets， and can be used for quality control of the tablet.

OBJECTIVE： To explore the method for the development and implementation of drug abuse monitoring in medical institutions， and to provide reference for drug abuse monitoring in medical institutions. METHODS： Our hospital （the affiliated hospital of Binzhou medical college） had established the corresponding drug abuse monitoring mode from the two aspects of real-time monitoring and retrospective analysis， supplemented by relevant management measures， defined the content of drug abuse monitoring in medical institutions， and finally evaluated the implementation effect through the effective reporting quantity of drug abuse information， etc. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS： The main contents of drug abuse monitoring in our hospital included the establishment of drug abuse monitoring management group， the improvement of drug abuse monitoring system and the sorting out of drug monitoring catalogue； the real-time drug abuse monitoring mode was established through timely reporting drug abuse information by medical， nursing and pharmaceutical personnel in daily diagnosis and treatment activities； at the same time， the retrospective analysis model of drug abuse was established by analyzing the relevant drug use data regularly through the hospital information system， paying attention to the key groups of key departments， and mining drug abuse information； a series of auxiliary management measures were taken， such as strengthening training and publicity， and establishing reward and punishment mechanism. Since the monitoring work was started in 2016， the effective number of drug abuse information reported in 2016-2018 was 38， 126 and 237 respectively， and through the monitoring， it was found that the elderly women over 60 years old （69.83％） were abusing in iatrogenic sedative hypnotic drugs. The development of drug abuse monitoring in hospital can collect drug abuse status， behavior characteristics and relevant information timely and effectively， analyze local drug abuse trends， find drug abuse risks， and provide basis for drug control of narcotics and psychotropic substances supervision.

Objective: To evaluate whether the self-designed single-channel intracavitary applicator yields equivalent clinical efficacy and safety to the standard Fletcher-type three-channel applicator in the high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for uterine cervical cancer. Methods: From December 2011 to April 2017, patients initially diagnosed with cervical cancer were randomly assigned into the external beam radiotherapy (EBRT)+ single-channel intracavitary applicator group (the patent single-channel group) and EBRT+ the Fletcher applicator group. Whole pelvis irradiation was delivered with 6-MV photons via a four-field box variant or anterior and posterior parallel fields. Five to six fractions of intracavitary brachytherapy were performed at a dose of 7 Gy at point A once a week after 30 Gy (BED at point A: 80-90 Gy). Chemotherapy was given with intravenous injection of cisplatin at a dose of 40 mg/m² once weekly during EBRT.Clinical efficacy and safety were evaluated after the treatment. Results: In total, 150 eligible cases were assigned into the Fletcher applicator group and 149 cases into the patent single-channel group. The short-term clinical efficacy and acute toxicity did not significantly differ between two groups. The response rate was 94.0% in the Fletcher group, and 94.7% in the patent single-channel group. In the Fletcher applicator group, 76(50.7%) patients developed ≥ grade 3 hematologic toxicity and 61(40.9%) in the patent group (P=0.195). Conclusions: The self-designed patent single-channel intracavitary applicator yields equivalent clinical efficacy and safety (acute toxicity) to the standard Fletcher-type three-channel applicator in the HDR brachytherapy for uterine cervical cancer.
