BACKGROUND:Peripheral nerves play an important role in bone metabolism.In clinical practice,the specific impact of nerve injury on bone transport technology needs further study. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of tibial nerve injury on the treatment of tibial slip by single-plane osteotomy. METHODS:Thirty-two patients with tibial bone defects admitted to Tangshan Second Hospital from May 2011 to June 2022 were selected.According to the presence or absence of tibial nerve injury,patients were divided into the tibial nerve injury group(n=16)and the non-tibial nerve injury group(n=16).Both groups were treated with single-plane osteotomy and bone slip.After treatment,the patients were followed up to collect the mineralization zone healing index,external fixation index,docking point healing and needle infection.After the removal of external fixation,the bone healing and functional evaluation were evaluated by a classification of the Association for the Study and Application of the Method of Ilizarov(ASAMI). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)All 32 patients were followed up for(25.28±4.79)months.There were no significant differences in bone healing time,external fixation time,healing index and external fixation index between the two groups(P＞0.05).Needle infection occurred in two cases of the tibial nerve injury group and one case of the non-tibial nerve injury group,all of which were PALEY I,and there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The non-union rate of the occlusal end of the tibial nerve injury group was 31%,and that of the non-tibial nerve injury group was 13%;there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The excellent and good rate of ASAMI bone healing score in the two groups was 100%;the excellent and good rate of limb score was 81%in the tibial nerve injury group and 94%in the non-tibial nerve injury group;there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).(2)Our research shows that tibial nerve injury has no significant effect on the mineralization speed,external fixation time,union of the occlusal end,infection of the needle tract,and the quality of bone formation in the mineralized area of the single-plane osteotomy.

Objective:To explore the risk factors affecting the incidence of acute kidney injury(AKI)after liver transplantation(LT).Methods:From November 2019 to November 2022, clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 105 recipients of classic orthotopic LT.There are 89 males and 16 females with an age range of(50.52±10.35)years.They are assigned into two groups of AKI(66 cases)and non-AKI(39 cases)according to the AKI diagnostic and staging criteria of Global Kidney Disease Prognosis Organization in 2012.General profiles and clinical data(e.g.previous medical history, MELD score, total bilirubin, albumin, serum creatinine level, coagulation function, anhepatic phase and time to surgery)of two groups of recipients are compared.The factors with statistically significant differences are included into multivariate Logistic regression analysis for obtaining independent risk factors for early AKI post-LT.Results:Among them, 66 patients developed AKI within 7 days post-operation with an incidence rate of 62.86%(66/105).The clinical stages of AKI are Ⅰ(46 cases, 69.70%), Ⅱ(10 cases, 15.15%)and Ⅲ(10 cases, 15.15%).Statistically significant inter-group differences exists in age, abdominal surgery history, preoperative serum level of creatinine, operative duration, anhepatic phase and intraoperative plasma transfusion(all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that abdominal surgery history( OR=5.803, 95% CI: 1.008~33.401, P=0.049), anhepatic phase( OR=1.054, 95% CI: 1.008~1.101, P=0.020)and preoperative serum level of creatinine( OR=0.968, 95% CI: 0.943~0.994, P=0.016)are independent risk factors for early AKI after classical orthotopic LT recipients. Conclusions:Abdominal surgery history, anhepatic phase, and preoperative serum level of creatinine are independent risk factors for early AKI in classic orthotopic LT recipients.

Objective:To compare the safety and efficacy of the " step-up approach" versus the " step-jump approach" in treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN).Method:The clinical data of IPN patients who underwent step-up strategy or step-jump strategy treatment at the Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from December 2018 to November 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Propensity score matching (PSM) was done based on the nearest neighbor matching method (1: 1 ratio). After matching the baseline data (the caliper value was 0.01), a total of 62 patients with IPN were included, including 41 males and 21 females, aged (41.1±13.1) years old. Patients who were treated with the step-up strategy were included in the step-up group, while patients who were treated with the step-jump strategy were included in the step-jump group. There were 31 patients in each group after PSM, and the treatment effect of the two groups were compared.Results:Of the 62 patients with IPN, 43 received surgical intervention, and 19 were managed successfully using symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment or percutaneous catheter drainage. The total hospitalization cost of patients in the step-jump group was significantly higher than that in the step-up group [122 000 (73 000, 179 000) yuan vs. 88 000 (46 000, 144 000) yuan, P=0.034]. The overall cure rate of IPN patients in the step-jump group was 93.5%(29/31). The 2 patients who died had type Ⅲ IPN. In the IPN patients in the step-up group were all cured, and the overall cure rate was 100%(31/31), with no death. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in the rates of death, postoperative complications, residual infection, debridement ≥2 times, and positive bacterial culture in blood or drainage fluid (all P>0.05). A total of 19.4% (12/62) patients had postoperative complications, including 4 patients with abdominal bleeding, 3 patients with new organ dysfunction, 2 patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, 2 patients with gastrointestinal fistula, and 1 patient with venous thrombosis in both lower limbs. Conclusion:Both the step-up treatment strategy and the step-jump treatment strategy were safe and effective for treatment of IPN patients.

Xenotransplantation is one of the potential approaches to mitigate the shortage of donor kidneys. With the progress of gene modification techniques and the development of immunosuppressant, significant progress has been made in the preclinical research of genetically modified pig to non-human primate (NHP) xenotransplantation. The longest survival time of recipients exceeds 500 d. However, the number of recipients surviving for over 1 year is extremely low, and most recipients die within postoperative 1-2 months. Therefore, several problems remain to be clarified and resolved. In this article, rejection, refractory coagulation dysfunction, persistent inflammation, the selection of immunosuppressant, the selection of clinical recipients and the risk of cross-infection in genetically modified pig to NHP xenotransplantation were reviewed, and current problems and potential solutions of genetically modified pig to NHP xenotransplantation were summarized, aiming to provide reference for promoting xenotransplantation in clinical settings.

Objective To establish a RP-HPLC method for determination of ketoconazole, mupirocin and mometasone furoate in compound ketoconazole ointment. Methods RP-HPLC was conducted on a Intersil ODS-3 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm), with methanol-PBS with pH 5.5 (65:35) as the mobile phase and the column temperature was 45 ℃. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min, and the detection wavelength was 248 nm. Results The methodological verification showed that ketoconazole, mupirocin and mometasone furoate had a good linearity (r≥0.9995). The inter/intra-day precisions were less than 3.0%, The recovery rates were between 90% and 108%. The stability and repeatability of RSD were also less than 3.0%, which met the requirements of method validation. The contents of the three components in three batches were determined by the new method. Conclusion The method is simple and reliable. It can provide a basis for the quality control of compound ketoconazole ointment and lay a foundation for its quality standard research.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of using combined lumbar pelvis fixation device in the treatment of old vertical unstable fracture dislocation of posterior pelvic ring.Methods:Data of 7 patients with old vertical unstable fracture dislocation of posterior pelvic ring admitted and followed up from January 2017 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 4 males and 3 females with an average age of 42.4 years old (range, 22-73 years old). There were 3 cases of traffic injury, 3 cases of falling injury and 1 case of tumble injury. According to Tile classification for pelvic fractures, there were 5 cases of type C1, 1 case of type C2 and 1 case of type C3. The average time from fracture to surgery was 5.4 weeks (range, 3-10 weeks). Among the 7 patients, 4 patients' posterior ring fractures were fixed by combined lumbar pelvic triangle fixation, and 3 patients' posterior ring fracture were fixed by combined lumbar pelvic fixation. 4 patients' anterior ring injury were not treated, 2 patients' anterior ring injury were treated by closed cannulated screw and internal fixation, and 1 patient's anterior ring injury was fixed by INFIX and cannulated screw. Every patient's operating time, intraoperative blood loss, length of incision and times of X-ray fluoroscopy were recorded. Pelvic X-ray and CT scan were taken postoperatively to observe the condition of reduction and screw position. Postoperative fracture reduction quality was assessed by Matta radiological criteria and Majeed criteria was used at the final follow-ups to evaluate the degree of functional recovery after pelvic fracture.Results:The average operating time of 7 patients was 143 min (range, 96-205 min); the intraoperative average blood loss was 579 ml (range, 300-1 650 ml); the average length of incisions was 12.9 cm (range, 9-15 cm) and the average time of X-ray fluoroscopy was 27 times (range, 15-52 times). Postoperative X-ray and CT scan showed that the displacements of the posterior rings were reset well and all the hollow screws were located accurately and firmly. Postoperative radiation quality was evaluated according to Matta radiological criteria, and there were 4 cases of excellent, 2 cases of good and 1 case of fair, with an excellent and good rate of 85.7% (6/7). Seven patients had good fracture union. The average followed up time for all 7 patients was 12 months (range, 6-16 months). At the last follow-up, imaging examination showed good reduction of the sacroiliac joint, and the reduction of anterior and posterior rings were not lost. The healing time was 14.2 weeks (range, 12-20 weeks). Majeed score: postoperative 4.90±6.64 points (range, 48-58 points), postoperative 3 months 71.40±7.32 points (range, 67-75 points), postoperative 6 months 84.90±8.14 points (range, 68-96 points), the difference was statistically significant ( F=0.614, P=0.004). Majeed score 6 months after operation showed that 5 cases were excellent, 1 case was good and 1 case was fair, and the excellent and good rate was 85.7% (6/7). Conclusion:Using combined lumbar pelvis fixation device in the treatment of old vertical unstable fracture dislocation of posterior pelvic ring has good reduction quality, high fixed strength and good postoperative effect.

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 clinical efficacy of our self-made minimally invasive pelvic channel instrument in the treatment of pelvic ring fracture-dislocation.Methods A retrospective study was conducted of the 35 patients who had been treated for pelvic ring fracture-dislocation from December 2015 to November 2017 and fully followed up at Department I of Orthopaedis,Beijing Chaoyang Emergency Rescue Center.They were 25 males and 10 females,aged from 20 to 73 years (average,41.3 years).According to the Tile classification for pelvic fractures,there were 26 cases of type B (type B1 in 8,type B2 in 12 and type B3 in 6) and 9 cases of type C(type C1 in 5,type C2 in 3 and type C3 in 1).Infix or anterior plate combined with percutaneous internal fixation with sacroiliac cannulated screws was used in 11 patients,sacroiliac triangle fixation combined with percutaneous internal fixation with anterior ring cannulated screws in 5 ones,and internal fixation with cannulated screws for anterior and posterior rings in 19 ones.All the channels were established using our self-made minimally invasive pelvic channel instrument for internal fixation with cannulated screws.The time for each screw placement and the number of X-ray projection were recorded.Postoperative reduction,pelvic function at the final follows-ups and complications were recorded.Results A total of 84 cannulated screws were inserted in the 35 patients.The time for each cannulated screw placement ranged from 5 to 13 minutes (average,8.1 minutes);the number of X-ray projection for each screw placement ranged from 7 to 15 times (average,10.3 times).Postoperative CT showed that all the cannulated screws were located in the preset channels.According to the Matta radiological criteria,postoperative reduction quality was excellent in 29,good in 4 and fair in 2,giving a good to excellent rate of 94.3％.The follow-up time for the 35 patients ranged from 6 to 15 months (average,12.3 months).At the final follow-ups,all the patients showed fine fracture union.There was no loosening or breakage of screws in all but one patient in whom one sacroiliac screw became loose 3 months after surgery.By the Majeed criteria,the pelvic function was excellent in 27 cases,good in 5,fair in 3 and poor in one,giving a good to excellent rate of 91.4％.Conclusion Our self-made minimally invasive pelvic channel instrument can be used to establish pelvic channels,leading to more accurate placement,shorter operative time and less X-ray projection.

OBJECTIVE： To standardize the management of temporary drug purchase， and to provide reference for drug selection in Hospital Pharmaceutical Administration and Drug Treatment Committee （Pharmaceutical Association）. METHODS： Clinical pharmacists set up drug quantitative scoring table according to the 10 attributes of drugs as effectiveness， safety， economy， etc. 15 temporary purchased drugs submitted by departments in Oct. 2018 were graded according to the rules of the scoring table， and the evaluation results were fed back to Pharmaceutical Association. A retrospective evaluation of 20 temporary purchased drugs which were discussed at the Pharmaceutical Association from Jul. to Sept. 2018 was made according to previous approval model without using drug quantitative scoring table. The effect of pre-intervention was evaluated after using drug quantitative scoring table. RESULTS： Among 15 temporary purchased drugs， 2 of them scored below 60， and the unqualified rate was 13.3％. It suggested that 2 drugs could not be discussed at the meeting. Among 20 temporary purchased drugs that have been discussed at the meeting， 9 of them scored below 60， with the unqualified rate of 45.0％， suggesting that 9 drugs may have wasted the workload of the Pharmaceutical Association. CONCLUSIONS： Drug quantitative scoring table can play a pre-intervention role in the scoring of temporary purchased drugs to a certain extent. At the same time， the table can also be used as a relevant reference for hospital drug evaluation. It is helpful to optimize hospital drug use list and improve the level of rational drug use in clinic.

Objective To explore the value of radiomics in stratifying the Gleason score (GS) of prostate cancer based on vast image features from biparametric MRI. Methods Three hundred and sixteen patients were enrolled in this study from October, 2015 to December, 2018 and their results of surgical pathology were obtained. The lesions were manually depicted by 3D?Slicer. Then, 106?dimensional features extracted by radiomics were used to conduct Spearman non?parametric correlation test with the high and low risk stratification of GS. The constructed Neural Network was trained with the features after dimension reduction by principal component analysis as the input. Then, the testing set was fed in to get the predictive capability of the model. In the end, 10?fold cross?validation and shuffle of 100 times were used to test the accuracy of the prediction and the generalization ability of the model. Results Seventy seven?dimensional features with significant correlation were found at the level of P valued=0.05 (two?tailed). After dimensional features were reduced, 21 dimensional new feature spaces with 99% original feature information were obtained. The results on the testing data after the 10?fold validation and shuffle were AUC=0.712 with T2WI, AUC=0.689 with DWI(b=1 000 s/mm2), AUC=0.689 with DWI (b=2 000 s/mm2) and AUC=0.691 with DWI (b=3 000 s/mm2). Conclusion The neural network after extracting features from biparametric MRI images can accurately and automatically distinguish the high risk and low risk groups of Gleason grade of prostatic cancer.
