Objective To analyze the effects of arthroscopic meniscus treatment on knee osteoarthritis on the effective rate,VAS score,HSS score and TNF-α level.Methods We selected 86 patients with knee osteoarthritis caused by meniscus injury who were treated in our hospital from June 2019 to May 2020 as the research subjects.The treatment method was selected according to the patient's wishes,with 43 patients who chose conventional conservative treatment included in the control group and 43 patients who chose arthroscopic meniscus therapy included in the study group.The treatment effectiveness,visual ana-logue scale(VAS)score,HSS knee joint score and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)index levels were compared between the two groups of patients.Results The effective rate of treatment in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05);there was no significant difference between the study group and the control group in the VAS score,HSS score,and TNF-α level before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the VAS score,HSS score and TNF-α level of the group were improved.The VAS score and TNF-α level of the study group after treatment were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05),and the HSS score was higher than the control group.Group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The arthroscopic meniscus treatment for patients with knee osteoarthritis has a significant effect,which can effectively reduce the pain and inflammation of the patients and improve the function of the knee joint.

Objective:Evaluate the influence of different pressure transmission media of urodynamic water filled catheter(WFC) and air charged catheter(ACC) on the pressure measurement results to determine whether they can be used interchangeably.Methods:The results of 2 147 patients who underwent urodynamic examination in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 2 538 times of bladder manometry data were obtained, including 1 299 times in WFC group, 856 times in male and 443 times in female, aged 37(24, 50)years, course of disease 1.2(0.4, 5.0) years, 1 130 times in neurogenic bladder(NB)and 169 times in non-neurogenic bladder(N-NB); In ACC group, there were 1 239 times, 773 times for male and 466 times for female, with age of 37(24, 55)years, course of disease of 1.5(0.5, 6.0)years, 1 040 times for Nb and 199 times for N-NB. There was no significant difference in baseline data of general clinical data between the two groups. The intravesical pressure(Pves), intra-abdominal pressure(Pabd)and detrusor pressure(Pdet) of WFC and ACC patients during filling and urination were analyzed. For traumatic spinal cord injury(SCI) and idiopathic patients, the two sets of pressure measurement data were analyzed separately. Nonparametric test and Chi-square test were used to compare the Pves, Pabd, and Pdet recorded by the two manometry catheters before, at the end and after urination, the maximum detrusor pressure at DO(Pdet.max-DO), and the maximum detrusor pressure during spontaneous urination (Pdet. max) and the detrusor pressure (Pdet.Qmax) corresponding to the maximum urine flow rate, the maximum urethral pressure (MUP) and the maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) during resting urethral pressure profile, and the initial cough Pdet signal pattern (typeⅠ, typeⅡand typeⅢ).Results:Regardless of the cause, the Pabd values measured by ACC were significantly higher than WFC before filling, end filling and after voiding[18(10, 26)cmH 2O vs.15(11, 21)cmH 2O; 23(16, 31)cmH 2O vs. 20(14, 26)cmH 2O; 23(15, 31)cmH 2O vs.18(12, 24)cmH 2O], and Pdet were significantly lower than WFC[0(0, 0) cmH 2O vs. 0(0, 1)cmH 2O; 5(1, 13)cmH 2O vs. 9(4, 17)cmH 2O; 6(1, 12)cmH 2O vs. 7(3, 14)cmH 2O]. In the initial cough state, Pves and Pabd increase value were also significantly lower than that of WFC [22(12, 36)cmH 2O vs. 23(14, 38)cmH 2O; 20(10, 33)cmH 2O vs. 21(12, 36)cmH 2O]. The Pves measured by ACC was also significantly higher than WFC before filling and after voiding[18(10, 27)cmH 2O vs. 16(11, 21)cmH 2O; 30(22, 39)cmH 2O vs. 26(20, 36)cmH 2O]. Maximum urethral pressure (MUP) and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) measured by ACC were significantly higher than WFC [91(69, 118)cmH 2O vs.81(64, 106)cmH 2O; 77(55, 103)cmH 2O vs. 68(48, 91)cmH 2O], and there were no significant differences in Pdet.max-DO、Pdet.max和Pdet.Qmax. For patients with traumatic SCI, the Pves measured by ACC was significantly higher than WFC before filling[15(10, 24)cmH 2O vs. 14(10, 20)cmH 2O], and only MUP was significantly higher than WFC in the measurement of urethral pressure[95(71, 119)cmH 2O vs. 85(65, 112)cmH 2O], and there were no significant differences in Pdet.max-DO, Pdet.max, Pdet.Qmax and MUCP. For idiopathic patients, Pves measured by ACC before filling and after urination were significantly higher than WFC[25(20, 29)cmH 2O vs. 18(11, 23)cmH 2O; 35(29, 44)cmH 2O vs. 28(20, 38)cmH 2O], while Pdet.max-DO, Pdet.max, Pdet.Q max, MUP and MUCP were not significantly different in different pressure measurement systems. For the comparison of the initial cough Pdet signal pattern, ACC is easier to detect type Ⅰ, and WFC is easier to detect type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ. Conclusions:Compared with WFC, ACC measured higher Pves and Pabd and lower Pdet in resting state, and lower Pves and Pabd in initial cough state. The pressure values and signal pattern measured by WFC and ACC are not completely consistent, so they cannot be used interchangeably.

Objective To establish the three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) with 3° and 7° posterior tibial slope at different knee flexion angles, and to study biomechanical properties and prosthetic wear of the knee joints with two types of posterior tibia slope and their effects on knee function. Methods Combining CT and MRI images of human knee joints with the 3rd-generation Oxford prosthesis, the finite element UKA model with 3° and 7° posterior tibia slope were established. The 1 kN load was applied to center point of the medial and lateral condyles of the femur to simulate the standing load of human body. The maximum stresses and distributions of the prosthesis and articular cartilage at different knee flexion angles were analyzed. ResultsThe maximum stress of the meniscus liner with 3° posterior tibia slope at 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120° knee flexion angles increased by 28.06%, 68.99%, 19.45%, 21.06% and 53.38%, the distribution area was concentrated from the side of the meniscus liner to the central area, and the stress concentration was obvious at 120° knee flexion. The maximum stress of prosthesis with 3° posterior tibia slope was greater than that with 7 ° posterior tibia slope. The expansion of stress concentration area would cause wear and loosening of the prosthesis, contact stress and concentration area of the articular cartilage would subsequently increase with posterior tibia slope increasing, and stress concentration would be more obvious at high knee flexion angles. Conclusions Tibial prosthesis has the higher stress and greater wear under the condition of 3° posterior tibia slope than 7° posterior tibia slope. The research findings provide theoretical basis for the UKA design in clinic.

Objective:To compare the safety and efficacy of dabigatran and warfarin in the treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT).Methods:The medical records of patients with CVT admitted to the Department of Neurology, Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were analyzed respectively. According to the drug use, they were divided into dabigatran group and warfarin group. The main outcome measure was good functional outcome at 6 months after treatment, defined as the modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2. The secondary outcome measures included the rate of recanalization of the affected venous sinus and the incidence of bleeding.Results:A total of 152 patients with CVT were included, including 34 in the dabigatran group and 118 in the warfarin group. There were no significant differences in demographic and baseline data between the two groups. At 6 months after treatment, the rate of good functional outcomes (94.1% vs. 93.2%; χ2=0.043, P=0.836) and the affected venous sinus recanalization (94.1% vs. 93.2%; χ2=0.043, P=0.836) in the dabigatran group and the warfarin group were not statistically significant. The bleeding rate of the dabigatran group was significantly lower than that of the warfarin group (8.8% vs. 27.1%; χ2=4.985, P=0.026). There was no significant difference in the incidence of minor bleeding between the two groups (8.8% vs. 16.1%; χ2=0.618, P=0.432), but the incidence of severe bleeding in the dabigatran group tended to be lower than that in the warfarin group (0% vs. 11.0%; Fisher's exact test P=0.074). There were no deaths in the dabigatran group and 2 deaths in the warfarin group, of which 1 pregnant woman died of recurrence of CVT at 4 months after treatment, and 1 male patient died of acute myocardial infarction at 2 months after treatment. There was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups (0% vs. 1.7%; Fisher's exact test P=1.000). Conclusions:Dabigatran is as effective as warfarin in the treatment of CVT, and the risk of bleeding complications is lower.

Objective:To observe the healing morphology, macular microstructure and visual function of idiopathic macular hole (IMH) after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap.Methods:Retrospective case study. From 2016 to 2018, 39 eyes of 39 patients with IMH diagnosed in Tianjin Eye Hospital were included in the study. Among them, there were 4 eyes in 4 males and 35 eyes in 35 females, with an average age of 64.56±7.2 years. BCVA, OCT, OCT angiography (OCTA) and MAIA microperimetry examination were performed in all patients. BCVA examination was performed with the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted to logMAR visual acuity when recording. All patients underwent PPV combined with ILM flap covering and air tamponade. According to the characteristics of OCT images postoperatively, the eyes were divided into U-shaped closed group, V-shaped closed group, irregular closed group and flat closed group, with 26, 5, 7 and 1 eyes respectively. There was a significant difference in the minimum hole diameter ( F=5.118, P=0.005) and macular hole classification ( F=3.608, P=0.024). The shallow capillary layer (SCP) blood flow density in the U-shaped closure group was significantly higher than that in the V-shaped closure group, the irregular closure group and the flat closure group (t=2.079, 2.368; P=0.047, 0.025). At 1, 3, 6 months after the operation, the same equipment and methods were used for relevant examination. The blood flow density of BCVA, SCP, perimeter of foveal avascular zone (PERIM) and mean sensitivity (MS) were compared before and after operation. Independent sample t-test was used for quantitative data comparison between different groups, and χ2 test was used for counting data comparison. Results:Six months after operation, the logMAR of the eyes in the U-shaped closure group was -0.75±0.29 higher than that before operation, and was better than that in the V-shaped closure group, the irregular closure group and the flat closure group ( t=-2.974, -2.518; P=0.006, 0.018). The integrity of external limiting membrane (ELM) and ellipsoid in U-shaped closed group was significantly higher than that in V-shaped closed group, irregular closed group and flat closed group ( χ2=15.229, 10.809; P=0.020, 0.013). The percentage of macular central fovea reflex mass in the U-shaped closed group was significantly lower than that in the V-shaped closed group, irregular closed group and flat closed group ( χ2=20.107, P=0.000). PERIM in U-shaped closure group was smaller than that in V-shaped closure group, irregular closure group and flat closure group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.391, -2.427; P=0.002, 0.022). The total MS of macular area 10° in the U-shaped closure group was significantly higher than that in the other V-shaped closure group, irregular closure group and flat closure group ( t=2.939, 2.811; P=0.001, 0.001). Conclusion:After IMH operation, the U-shaped closure showed better BCVA and macular light sensitivity, the proportion of ELM and ellipsoid to restore structural integrity are higher, PERIM is smaller, and there are fewer macular fovea strong reflex masses.

Objective:To observe the changes of microperimeter and OCT angiography (OCTA) in idiopathic macular hole (IMH) before and after operation, and to explore the correlation between the changes and visual acuity.Methods:From January 2018 to January 2019, 41 patients (41 eyes) with IMH who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with or without internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap surgery in Tianjin Eye Hospital were included in this study. Among them, 8 patients (8 eyes) were male and 33 patients (33 eyes) were female. The average age was 64.02±6.46 years. The average course of disease was 7.00±8.85 months. BCVA, microperimeter and OCTA were performed. The retinal mean sensitivity (RMS) at 10 ° and fovea 2 ° fixation rate (P1) and binary contour ellipse area (63% BCEA) were measured by macular integrity assessment instrument. The central retinal thickness (CRT), choroidal blood flow area (CFA), superficial and deep retinal blood flow density (FAVD, FDVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and blood flow densitywithin the width of FAZ 300 μm (FD-300) were measured by OCTA. Twenty one and 19 eyes with or without ILM flap operation were treated with 25G standard three incision PPV. The follow-up time was more than 6 months. Paired t-test was used to compare the indexes before and after operation. Pearson correlation analysis was performed for the correlation between logMAR visual acuity and microperimeter variables and OCTA variables. Nonparametric test was performed for paired comparison between affected eyes and contralateral eyes before and after operation.Results:At 6 months after operation, logMAR visual acuity ( t=-12.33), RMS ( t=7.94), P1 ( t=3.21), 63% BCEA ( t=-3.98), CRT ( t=-9.17), CFA ( t=8.14), FSVD ( t=3.75), FDVD ( t=3.88) were significantly improved compared with those before operation ( P<0.001). The difference of FAZ area ( t=-1.40) and FD-300 ( t=1.95) before and after operation were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that logMAR visual acuity 6 months after surgery was correlated with preoperative logMAR visual acuity, MIN, RMS, P1, 63% BCEA, FSVD, FDVD and FAZ ( r=0.432、0.527、-0.410、-0.383、0.349、-0.406、-0.373、0.407; P<0.05). At 6 months after operation, the indexes of the affected eyes were significantly improved compared with those before operation, but worse than those of the contralateral eyes ( P<0.05). Conclusions:PPV for IMH can effectively improve the visual acuity, retinal function and foveal microvascular circulation. Retinal function and blood circulation changes have a significant impact on postoperative visual acuity.

When macular diseases involves the fovea, patients' central vision is significantly reduced. A central dark spot appears in the visual field, and their visual function indicators, such as reading speed and fixation stability, are significantly impaired, which seriously affects the patients' quality of life. The human body's response to the damage of the fovea region is a spontaneous adaptation strategy adopted by the brain. The brain will select the paracentral region as the pseudo fovea to serve as the fixation site of the eye, however, the development of patient's own residual vision is not maximized by this adaptation behavior. In recent years, through continuous research, it has been discovered that the automatic eye position recognition and automatic eye tracking system in the microperimeter can accurately detect specific retinal sites, combined with the biofeedback training mode, and can combine fundus examination with biofeedback training. It can help patients with age-related macular degeneration, pathological myopia macular degeneration, Stargardt's disease, macular hole and other macular diseases to choose the best retinal site as an eye movement benchmark, maximize the patient's residual vision and improve the patient's visual function.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of cognitive impairment caused by solitary cerebellar infarction.Methods:From January 2017 to January 2019, 76 inpatients with acute cerebellar infarction treated at our hospital were continuously enrolled as the infarction group and 88 outpatients without cerebral infarction at our hospital during the same period were collected as the control group.The patients in the two groups were evaluated by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scales(MoCA)and Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)Scale at 14 days, 1 month and 3 months after the onset of solitary cerebellar infarction, respectively.Results:The MoCA and MMSE scores were lower in the infarction group than in the control group at 14 days, 1 month and 3 months after the onset of solitary cerebellar infarction(MoCA: 23.9±6.13 vs.28.1±2.51, 22.6±6.07 vs. 28.2±2.28 and 22.5±6.19 vs. 28.2±2.15, t=5.88, 8.03 and 8.09, P<0.001; MMES: 25.7±4.54 vs.28.3±2.25, 24.9±4.63 vs.28.2±2.14 and 24.6±4.43 vs.28.3±2.16, t=4.74, 5.99 and 6.94, all P<0.001). Cognitive function scores showed that three major recognition domains of visual space and executive function, attention and memory had statistically significant difference between the two groups( P<0.05), and the differences in three recognition domain of naming, calculating force, directional force between the two groups were not statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:There is a clear correlation between cerebellar infarction and cognitive impairment, which is mainly manifested in three aspects of visual space and executive function, attention and memory.The great attention should be paid to screening and intervention on the three aspects in clinical work, which is of great significance for improving the quality of life and prognosis of patients.

The miniplate was designed and three-dimensional (3D) printed according to the positions of roots and tooth germs and then it was used as skeletal anchorage to protract the maxilla. The maxilla moved forward obviously after treatment. Custom designed and 3D printed miniplate could be used for maxillary protraction.

Objective To observe the dynamic changes of 18F-FDG uptake and clearance in the amygdala and hippocampus in patients with first-episode depression (FED),and explore the neurobiology mechanism of FED.Methods i8 F-FDG PET/CT imaging was performed on 35 patients with FED and 35 healthy volunteers from January 2014 to January 2016.SUV in the amygdala and hippocampus at different time points were collected.The clearance rates were calculated and the difference between patients and healthy volunteers were compared by two-sample t test.Results The FDG uptake in the left amygdala of patients reached the peak earlier compared with that in the healthy group,with the SUVmax of 12.94±2.03 at 25 min and 10.50±1.79 at 40 min,respectively.FDG uptake in the left amygdala at 10,25,40,55,70,85 min between the 2 groups were significantly different (t values:12.92,8.65,6.99,12.34,28.87,13.87;all P＜ 0.05).The clearance rate in the left amygdala of patients at different time interval was increased compared with that of the healthy group(40-55 min:t=32.53;56-70 min:t=32.73;71-85 min:t=11.10;all P＜ 0.05).Compared with the healthy group,FDG uptake in the left hippocampus of patients was decreased significantly at 10,25,40,55,85 min (t values:2.70,7.75,7.78,8.81,7.00;all P＜0.05) for FDG uptake,and the clearance rate was also decreased significantly at different time interval(40-55 min:t =6.02;56-70 min:t=62.15;71-85 min:t=37.39;all P＜0.05).Differences of metabolic changes in the right amygdala and the right hippocampus were not significant.Conclusions 18F-FDG metabolism in the amygdala and hippocampus of patients with FED may be abnormal,which is characterized by earlier peak uptake and quicker clearance in the left amygdala while lower uptake and slower clearance in the left hippocampus.
