Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of 3D printed patients-specific guide plates in assisting Ilizarov bone transport in the treatment of tibial bone defects.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 24 patients with tibial bone defects who had been admitted to Institute of Trauma Orthopedics, The 80th Army Group Hospital of PLA from January 2018 to March 2022. There were 9 males and 15 females with an age of (49.8±6.5) years, and 4 upper tibial defects, 5 middle tibial defects, and 15 lower tibial defects. According to the methods of repairing bone defects, the patients were divided into 2 groups: a 3D printing group of 10 cases where a 3D printed patient-specific guide plate was used to assist Ilizarov bone transport in the treatment of tibial bone defects, and a traditional group of 14 cases where Ilizarov bone transport was performed in a traditional manner. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy, axial angulation of the tibia at postoperation and the last follow-up, external fixation time (EFT) and external fixation index (EFI). At the last follow-up, healing of bone defects was evaluated according to the criteria of The Association for the Study and Application of the Method of Ilizarov (ASAMI), functional outcomes were evaluated according to the Paley criteria, and needle infection was recorded according to the Paley classification for complications.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up for (11.3±2.0) months on average after operation. The 3D printing group had significantly shorter operation time [(19.9±2.6) min] and significantly lower frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy [(3.0±0.8) times] than the traditional group [(38.1±2.2) min and (8.9±1.3) times] (P<0.05), and had significantly better axial angulation of the tibia at postoperation and the last follow-up than the traditional group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in EFT or EFI between the 2 groups ( P>0.05), and the last follow-up revealed no significant difference either in bone healing, functional outcomes, or needle infection between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of tibial bone defects, compared with conventional Ilizarov bone transport, the Ilizarov bone transport assisted by a 3D printed patient-specific guide plate demonstrates advantages of shorter operation time, lower intraoperative fluoroscopy, and higher reduction accuracy.

The hemodynamics of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) often changes during the perioperative period. Unfortunately, the evaluation of cardiac function in children with CHD is mainly focused on the left ventricle. With the further understanding of cardiac hemodynamics, the monitoring of RV function has gradually become an important part of cardiac intensive care department. We totally searched five databases including Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane, Wanfang Med, as well as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and reviewed the clinical research progress of the application of TAPSE in the evaluation of RV systolic function in children with CHD to provide a theoretical basic for the monitoring of RV function before and after operation in children with CHD.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal mosaicisms. METHODS: A total of 775 pregnant women who had visited the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of Yancheng Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected as study subjects. Chromosome karyotyping analysis and CMA were carried out for all women, and FISH was used to validate the suspected mosaicism cases. RESULTS: Among the 775 amniotic fluid samples, karyotyping has identified 13 mosaicism cases, which yielded a detection rate of 1.55%. Respectively, there were 4, 3, 4 and 2 cases for sex chromosome number mosaicisms, abnormal sex chromosome structure mosaicisms, abnormal autosomal number mosaicisms and abnormal autosomal structure mosaicisms. CMA has only detected only 6 of the 13 cases. Among 3 cases verified by FISH, 2 cases were consistent with the karyotyping and CMA results, and clearly showed low proportion mosaicism, and 1 case was consistent with the result of karyotyping but with a normal result by CMA. Eight pregnant women had chosen to terminate the pregnancy (5 with sex chromosome mosaicisms and 3 with autosomal mosaicisms). CONCLUSION For fetuses suspected for chromosomal mosaicisms, CMA, FISH and G-banding karyotyping should be combined to determine the type and proportion of mosaicisms more precisely in order to provide more information for genetic counseling.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with negative pressure suction sheath and PCNL with traditional expanded sheath in the treatment of infectious renal calculus.Methods:From May 2019 to June 2022 in our department, 35 patients with infectious renal calculus who received PCNL with negative pressure suction sheath (negative pressure sheath group, NPS group) and another 35 patients with infectious renal calculus who received PCNL with traditional expanded sheath (control group) were determined in our research. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted. Preoperative clinical data of the 2 groups was similar and there were no statistical differences between the 2 groups in the age [(45.5±6.8)vs. (44.9±7.3) years old, P=0.723], gender (man/woman 19/16 cases vs. 21/14 cases, P=0.629), body mass index(BMI) [(24.2±4.2)kg/m 2vs. (24.5±3.9)kg/m 2, P=0.758], American Society of Anesthesiologists risk score(ASA) (grade 1/grade 2: 30/5 cases vs. 29/6 cases, P=0.743), sides of calculus (left/right: 18/17 cases vs. left 17/18 cases, P=0.811), Guy’s stone score (grade Ⅰ/Ⅱ/Ⅲ: 3/25/7 cases vs. 1/29/5 cases, P=0.443), CT value of calculus [(629.2±98.8)HU vs. (608.5±105.1)HU, P=0.399], urinary leucocyte (-/+ /+ + : 29/5/1 cases vs. 28/5/2 cases, P=0.839), hypertension(3 cases vs. 5 cases, P=0.707), diabetes(2 cases vs. 2 cases, P=1.000). The ureteral catheter on the affected side was indwelled in the lithotomy position, and ultrasound guided positioning puncture was performed on the affected renal side of the posterior axillary line in the prone position. The puncture channel was established and then expanded to F20 successively, and the lithotriptic sheath was placed to establish the lithotriptic channel. Compared with the traditional expanded sheath, the negative pressure suction sheath was different in that the collateral suction channel was added on the main gravel channel and connected with continuous negative pressure suction. The negative pressure was 40 kPa. All patients were treated with pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy combined with holmium laser. KUB was performed within 1 week after surgery. We defined stone removal as either no residual stones or clinically insignificant residual stones (≤4 mm) which did not cause urinary obstruction. The intraoperative duration of operation and postoperative clinical parameters [white blood cell(WBC), procalcitonin(PCT), C-reactive protein(CRP), hemoglobin(Hb), stone clearance rate] and incidence of perioperative complications were compared between the 2 groups. Results:The operation time of NPS group was lower than that in control group [(35.6±19.5)min vs. (45.4±20.2)min, P<0.05]. The proportion of patients with increased WBC, PCT and CRP in blood after operation in NPS group was lower than that in control group, and there were (WBC: 25.7% vs. 54.3%, P<0.05), (PCT: 42.9% vs.68.6%, P<0.05) and (CRP: 62.9% vs.85.7%, P<0.05) respectively. There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients with decreased Hb postoperatively between the 2 groups (2.9% vs. 8.6%, P=0.607). There was no significant difference in calculus clearance rate postoperatively between the 2 groups (97.1% vs. 94.3%, P=1.000). Postoperative calculus component analysis of the 2 groups suggested that all patients had infected calculus dominated by ammonium magnesium phosphate and phosphate apatite. The incidence of perioperative complications in NPS group was lower than that in control group (22.9% vs. 51.4%, P<0.05). The proportion of patients with fever (body temperature>37.5℃) postoperatively in NPS group was lower than that in control group (14.3% vs. 37.1%, P<0.05). There were 2 and 3 patients respectively required upgraded antibiotic therapy after operation in the 2 groups ( P=1.000). There was one patient respectively with urinary tract obstruction and renal colic due to blood clots postoperatively in each group ( P=1.000). There was one patient with urinary sepsis in control group after operation ( P=0.476). Conclusions:Compared with PCNL with traditional expanded sheath, PCNL with negative pressure suction sheath can save operation time for infectious renal calculus, and reduce the incidence of postoperative infection and perioperative complications. Therefore, the safety of negative pressure suction sheath is higher. However, there is no difference in stone clearance rate between them.

Objective:Anatomical study of the cross-donor flap pedicled with the peroneal artery and the discussion of the effect of clinical application, so as to describe a new method for the repair of large-area soft tissue defects in the foot and ankle.Methods:From June 2016 to August 2019, 12 specimens of adult lower limbs were studied. The popliteal arteries were perfused with perchloroethylene-ethyl acetate-lead oxide and red perchloroethylene-ethyl acetate. The origin, number, outer diameter, course and distribution of perforating branches of the peroneal artery were anatomically observed. The source, distribution and anastomosis of the skin nutrient vessels in the posterolateral area of the calf were also studied. Relationship of the blood supply between the peroneal arteries and veins and the nutritional vessels of the sural nerve were observed. In 9 patients, the peroneal artery and vein were designed as the pedicle of cross-donor flap in the repair of large soft tissue defects of foot and ankle. The patients were entered follow-up through outpatient visits and telephone interviews.Results:Among the 12 adult specimens of lower limbs, there were 65 perforating branches from the peroneal artery, 4-7 branches on each side, with an average of (5.41±1.00) branches. The diameter of the penetrating deep fascia was(1.07±0.36) mm. The perforator branches were mostly distributed in 3 sections of 4.0-11.0 cm, 16.0-21.0 cm and 24.0-27.0 cm away from the lateral malleolus, accounting for 48%, 24% and 17% of the total number of perforators, respectively. The outer diameters of the perforator vessels were (0.92±0.26)(0.56-1.68) mm, (1.32±0.38)(0.60-2.14) mm, and (0.98±0.28)(0.62-1.36) mm. The length of the pedicle of the perforator vessels were (3.91±0.96)(2.15-5.78) cm, (5.34±0.50)(4.01-5.85) cm, and (3.31±1.15)(2.16-5.66) cm. The perforating branches in the 3 sections appeared constantly. The diameter of the vessels was≥0.5 mm with an average length of at(4.19±1.16)(2.15-5.85) cm. The vascular network of the flap in the posterolateral area of the calf was mainly composed of subdermal vascular network and deep fascial vascular network. The deep fascia vascular network in the posterolateral area of the calf had 3 obvious longitudinal chains, including the medial sural neurotrophic vascular chain, the small saphenous vein-sural nerve communicating branch vascular chain and the lateral sural neurotrophic vascular chain, which took the nutrient blood supply from the perforating branches of the peroneal artery also formed a longitudinal and transverse anastomosis between the perforating branches of the peroneal artery. In the clinical trials performed on 9 patients, all soft tissue defects of foot and ankle were repaired. The composite tissue flap survived without infection or necrosis. The follow-up was lasted for 12 months to 3 years. The postoperative function and the donor site appearance were good and the patients walked normally. According to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Association(AOFAS) foot scoring standard, the function of affected feet were evaluated. Five patients were excellent and 4 were good.Conclusion:The cross-donor flaps pedicled with peroneal arteries and veins has sufficient blood supply and a large area. It provides a method for the repair of large-area soft tissue defects in the foot and ankle.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of nimotuzumab combined with IMRT radiotherapy in the treatment of elderly patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for 34 elderly LACC patients treated with nimotuzumab combined with IMRT radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the Zhangzhou Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from June 2020 to December 2021. The efficacy and side effects were evaluated one and two years after treatment.Results:Median follow-up time was 13.3 months (6.1-24.3 months). A total of 24 cases of complete response (CR) and eight cases of partial response (PR) were achieved after treatment, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 94.1% (32/34). The tumor diameters were (49.56 ± 19.22) mm before treatment and (19.61 ± 14.59) mm after treatment, with a tumor regression rate (TRR) of 59.22%.The 1- and 2- year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 84.9% and 84.9%, overall survival (OS) rates 91.8% and 87.2%, respectively, disease-free survival (DFS) rates 91.8% and 87.2%, respectively, and the cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates 95.7% and 90.9%, respectively. The main adverse events included radiation enteritis, leukopenia, hypoproteinemia and anemia.Conclusions:Nimotuzumab combined with IMRT radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy is safe and effective in the treatment of LACC.

Objective:To investigate the risk factor analysis and model prediction of bleeding after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 302 patients with MOJ treated with ERCP who were treated in the No. 363 Hospital Affiliated to Southwest Medical University from January 2015 to June 2021. The general clinical data of the patients were collected, and the biochemical indicators of the pancreatic and bile ducts were detected. The patients were followed up after discharge, and the patients were divided into a bleeding group ( n=47) and a control group ( n=255) according to whether the follow-up patients were bleeding after ERCP. Compared the general and clinical data of the two groups of patients, including age, gender, platelet count, presence of bile duct stones, acute cholangitis, acute pancreatitis, number of stones, intraoperative bleeding, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, large stone diameter, stone incarceration, duodenal papillary diverticulum, and pre-surgical incision. The measurement data that obey the normal distribution were represented by the mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the two independent sample t test was used for the comparison between groups; the data that do not conform to the normal distribution were represented by M ( Q1, Q3), and the comparison between groups was used Mann-Whitney U test. The comparison of enumeration data between groups adopted chi-square test. Logistic multivariate regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of postoperative bleeding after ERCP, and a nomogram prediction model was established and verified according to the independent risk factors of postoperative bleeding. Results:The two groups of patients were compared in age, gender, platelet count, bile duct stones, acute cholangitis, acute pancreatitis, the number of stones, intraoperative bleeding and other aspects, the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The percentages of pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, large stone diameter, stone incarceration, duodenal papillary diverticulum, and surgical pre-incision in the bleeding group were 12.77%, 17.02%, 19.15%, 51.06%, 59.57%, and 14.89%, respectively. , the percentages of the control group were 3.92%, 5.10%, 9.02%, 19.22%, 17.65%, and 5.88%, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( P<0.05). Taking postoperative bleeding as the dependent variable, and using the indicators with statistical differences in univariate analysis as independent variables, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the patient had pancreatic cancer ( OR=1.838, 95% CI: 1.524-4.613, P=0.041), cholangiocarcinoma ( OR=2.548, 95% CI: 1.870-5.116, P=0.015), stone incarceration ( OR=3.078, 95% CI: 2.374-6.012, P<0.001), duodenum Intestinal papillary diverticula ( OR=1.140, 95% CI: 1.045-1.628, P<0.001), surgical pre-incision ( OR=1.640, 95% CI: 1.321-1.928, P<0.001) were associated with postoperative bleeding in MOJ patients after ERCP independent risk factors. The predictive ability of duodenal papillary diverticulum was the highest; the predictive ability of stone incarceration and cholangiocarcinoma was the second, and there was no significant difference between them; the predictive ability of pancreatic cancer, stone diameter, and pre-incision on bleeding after ERCP in MOJ patients smaller. Pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, large stone diameter, stone incarceration, duodenal papillary diverticulum, and pre-incision scores were 42, 63, 28, 65, 76, and 34 points respectively, and the total score was 308 points corresponding to the nomogram model. The predictive power of the nomogram was 61.6%, and overall, the nomogram had good predictive performance. Harrell concordance index analysis and ROC curve were used to evaluate the model discrimination, the C-index calculation result was 0.826 (95% CI: 0.771-0.847), the ROC curve AUC was 0.843 (95% CI: 0.801-0.884), and the ROC prediction The value and the calculation result of C-index are relatively close. The model discrimination is applied in this study and has a certain prediction effect. The nomogram model in the Calibration curve predicted the probability of postoperative bleeding after ERCP in MOJ patients with high consistency with the actual probability. Conclusion:ERCP is safe and feasible for most patients with MOJ, but for patients with pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer, large stone diameter, stone incarceration, and duodenal papillary diverticulum, it should be performed with caution, and preoperative incision should be avoided, to reduce the risk of postoperative bleeding. In addition, the nomogram model has a strong predictive ability in predicting bleeding after ERCP in patients with MOJ, which is worthy of reference in clinical research.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of thoracoumbilical flap combined with random abdominal flap in repair of large-area soft tissue defects of calf in children.Methods:The clinical data of 16 children with large-area soft tissue defects of calf treated with thoracoumbilical flap combined with abdominal random flap from January 2004 to December 2007 in PLA Trauma Orthopaedic Research Institute, 80th Group Military Hospital of the PLA were retrospectively analysed. There were 7 boys and 9 girls aged 8 to 14(11.3 in average) years old. Six cases were crushed by heavy objects, 6 crushed by wheels, 3 by thermal press and 1 by machine strangulation. After thorough debridement, the wound area ranged from 16.0 cm×9.0 cm to 38.0 cm×15.0 cm. Four cases were treated after 3-10 hours of injury by emergency surgery. Twelve cases received surgeries 0-11 days after hospital admission and wound being stabilised. Doppler ultrasound was used to locate the perforating vessels according to the location, size and shape of the wound. Thoracoumbilical flap combined with abdominal random flap were designed and harvested to repair the wound. The sizes of flaps were 18.0 cm×11.0 cm-40.0 cm×16.0 cm. All patients entered follow-up at the outpatient clinic or through WeChat interviews. The appearance, texture of the flap and limb recovery were checked and recorded.Results:After surgery, all of 16 flaps survived, of which 12 flaps had phase-one healing, 3 flaps had small area of necrosis at the edge, which healed after repeated dressing changes and 1 flap developed vascular comproise, and survived after surgical exploration. The donor sites healed in phase-one. All 16 children had 6 months to16 years of follow-up, with an average of 20.7 months. The colour of the flaps was normal with soft texture. The motor function of calf was satisfactory. According to Punor functional evaluation criteria, 12 cases were in excellent and 4 in good.Conclusion:The thoracoumbilical flap combined with abdominal random flap features a reasonable design, strong blood supply and repair of a large area. It is a reliable method for repairing large area soft tissue defects in the calf of children.
