Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of the San Diego osteotomy in treating developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 33 pediatric cases of posterolateral acetabular dysplasia treated with the San Diego osteotomy at the 920th Hospital of the People's Liberation Army Joint Logistics Support Force in China from August 2018 to August 2022. The cohort included 3 males (4 hips) and 30 females (36 hips), with an average age of 4.9±1.4 years (range, 2-8 years). Among these, 32 cases (38 hips) were diagnosed with DDH, and 1 case (2 hips) with paralytic dislocation of the hip. According to the T?nnis classification, 3 hips were classified as type II, 25 hips as type III, and 12 hips as type IV. The San Diego osteotomy technique was utilized to enhance the posterior lateral acetabular coverage, combined with femoral osteotomy to adjust the hip abduction, flexion, and adduction angles. Postoperative outcomes were assessed using the modified Severin radiographic classification and the McKay grading system.Results:All 33 patients were followed up for an average of 37.70±18.44 months (range, 12-74 months). No cases of postoperative hip redislocation or residual acetabular underdevelopment were observed. The hip abduction angle improved from 24.98°±3.48° at 6 weeks postoperatively to 37.28°±4.63° at the 3-month follow-up, and 64.05°±3.82° at the 6-month follow-up, with a statistically significant difference ( F=77.327, P<0.001). The hip flexion angle increased from 26.34°±5.05° at 6 weeks postoperatively to 76.53°±4.38° at 3 months, and 106.47°±2.29° at 6 months, also showing a statistically significant difference ( F=54.377, P<0.001). The hip adduction angle progressed from 1.73°±1.18° at 6 weeks postoperatively to 12.33°±1.97° at 3 months, and 29.03°±4.17° at 6 months, with a significant difference ( F=45.162, P<0.001). The McKay hip joint grading system indicated 11 excellent, 20 good, and 9 acceptable outcomes, yielding an overall excellent and good rate of 78%. The Severin radiographic grading revealed 16 hips at grade I and 24 hips at grade II. Five patients (5 hips) experienced transient vascular compromise of the femoral head at 3 months postoperatively, which resolved after a 1-month non-weight-bearing period. At the final follow-up, one patient had residual femoral head enlargement in the right hip, while the remaining 32 cases showed satisfactory ossification and remodeling of the femoral head. Conclusion:The San Diego osteotomy significantly enhances hip joint range of motion and results in satisfactory hip joint function in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip

Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy of rotational femoral neck osteotomy with preservation of the round ligament in the treatment of subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head (SIFFH) in young and middle-aged people.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyze the clinical data of 13 patients with SIFFH, who were admitted to 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force from January 2017 to January 2022. The patients included 10 males and 3 females, aged 22-49 years [(33.5±8.3)years]. There were 6 patients with fracture on the left hip and 7 on the right hip. All the patients were treated by rotational femoral neck osteotomy with preservation of the round ligament. Postoperatively, standardized joint functional training was given. The operative time and intraoperative bleeding were recorded. The modified Harris hip score and visual analogue score (VAS) were compared preoperatively, at 3, 6 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up. Radiological examinations were used to observe the occurrence of any collapse of the femoral head, non-union at osteotomy site or other complications.Results:The patients were followed up for 13-24 months [(17.9±3.1)months]. The operative time was (127.3±9.8)minutes, with the intraoperative bleeding of (393.9±21.9)ml. The values of modified Harris hip score were (61.6±3.3)points, (80.2±4.4)points, and (91.9±4.1)points at 3, 6 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up, respectively, being significantly higher than the preoperative (51.4±3.5)points (all P<0.05), and there were significant differences between different postoperative timepoints (all P<0.05). The values of VAS were (4.9±1.1)points, (3.0±0.9)points, and (1.4±0.5)points at 3, 6 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up, respectively, being significantly lower than preoperative (6.7±0.9)points (all P<0.05), and there were significant differences between different postoperative timepoints (all P<0.05). Imaging examination showed no femoral head collapse, with all the bones healed at the osteotomy site. There were no serious complications such as bone non-union, incision infection or peripheral nerve injury. Conclusion:Rotational femoral neck osteotomy with preservation of the round ligament in treating SIFFH in the young and middle-aged population has the advantages of shortened operative time, less intraoperative bleeding, promoted hip function recovery, attenuated pain and decreased complications, showing a satisfactory early effect.

Objective:To investigate the early curative effects of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the treatment of valgus knee.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 40 patients with valgus knee who had been treated by TKA at Department of Orthopaedics, The 920th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese People's Liberation Army from January to December 2021. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether a robot had been used or not for TKA. In the observation group of 15 cases for which TKA was assisted by a robot, there were 4 males and 11 females with an age of (65.5±6.2) years, and the disease course was 42 (36, 54) months; in the control group of 25 cases for which conventional TKA was performed, there were 8 males and 17 females with an age of (65.8±7.5) years, and the disease course was 42 (36, 60) months. Surgical time, hemoglobin decrease, and knee joint range of motion, American Knee Society Score (KSS), hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA), and medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) at 12 months after surgery were compared between the 2 groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). The surgical time in the observation group was (148.0±21.2) min, significantly longer than that in the control group [(115.2±7.1) min], and the hemoglobin decreased by (11.8±1.1) g/L in the observation group, significantly less than that in the control group [(18.1±1.8) g/L] ( P<0.05). The observation group and the control group were followed up for 13 (13, 14) and 13 (13, 14) months after surgery, respectively, showing no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). At 12 months after surgery, the KSS knee score, KSS functional score, and knee range of motion in the observation group were (86.1±4.6) points, (86.9±3.1) points, and 115.7°±5.0°, significantly larger than those in the control group [(82.2±3.5) points, (82.8±0.9) points, and 108.2°±5.0°] ( P<0.05). Reexamination of full-length radiographs of both lower limbs in all patients showed good positions of the prostheses and no such adverse events as loosening or sinking at 12 months after surgery. The HKA (178.5°±1.2°) and LDFA (89.1°±0.7°) at 12 months after surgery in the observation group were significantly larger than those in the control group (176.6°±1.5°, 88.2°±8.2°) ( P<0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in MPTA between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In the treatment of valgus knee, robot-assisted TKA can correct joint deformity, and achieve precise osteotomy and functional alignment of lower limbs, leading to better early curative effects than conventional TKA.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of serological indicators and evaluate the diagnostic value of a new established combined serological model on identifying the minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in patients with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:This prospective multicenter study enrolled 263 compensated cirrhotic patients from 23 hospitals in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China between October 2021 and August 2022. Clinical data and laboratory test results were collected, and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was calculated. Ammonia level was corrected to the upper limit of normal (AMM-ULN) by the baseline blood ammonia measurements/upper limit of the normal reference value. MHE was diagnosed by combined abnormal number connection test-A and abnormal digit symbol test as suggested by Guidelines on the management of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis. The patients were randomly divided (7∶3) into training set ( n=185) and validation set ( n=78) based on caret package of R language. Logistic regression was used to establish a combined model of MHE diagnosis. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve. The internal verification was carried out by the Bootstrap method ( n=200). AUC comparisons were achieved using the Delong test. Results:In the training set, prevalence of MHE was 37.8% (70/185). There were statistically significant differences in AMM-ULN, albumin, platelet, alkaline phosphatase, international normalized ratio, MELD score and education between non-MHE group and MHE group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that AMM-ULN [odds ratio ( OR)=1.78, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.05-3.14, P=0.038] and MELD score ( OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.20, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for MHE, and the AUC for predicting MHE were 0.663, 0.625, respectively. Compared with the use of blood AMM-ULN and MELD score alone, the AUC of the combined model of AMM-ULN, MELD score and education exhibited better predictive performance in determining the presence of MHE was 0.755, the specificity and sensitivity was 85.2% and 55.7%, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve showed that the model had good calibration ( P=0.733). The AUC for internal validation of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.752. In the validation set, the AUC of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.794, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration ( P=0.841). Conclusion:Use of the combined model including AMM-ULN, MELD score and education could improve the predictive efficiency of MHE among patients with compensated cirrhosis.

External apical root resorption is among the most common risks of orthodontic treatment, and it cannot be completely avoided and predicted. Risk factors causing orthodontic root resorption can generally be divided into patient- and treatment-related factors. Root resorption that occurs during orthodontic treatment is usually detected by radiographical examination. Mild or moderate root absorption usually does no obvious harm, but close attention is required. When severe root resorption occurs, it is generally recommended to suspend the treatment for 3 months for the cementum to be restored. To unify the risk factors of orthodontic root resorption and its clinical suggestions, we summarized the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of more than 20 authoritative experts in orthodontics and related fields in China. After discussion and summarization, this consensus was made to provide reference for orthodontic clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To screen potential eEF2K inhibitor molecules, and to provide reference for the design and R&D of eEF2K inhibitor. METHODS: The eEF2K crystal structure model was constructed by homology modeling technique. The model was optimized by Loop optimization and molecular dynamics. With the help of SAVES online server, the above models were evaluated from three aspects such as Verify_3D, EERAT and Laplace diagram. Totally 55 eEF2K inhibitor molecules were collected. Hypogen pharmacophore model with activity prediction ability was constructed based on 28 of them (odd number, as training set) by Insight Ⅱ software and validated by other 27 (even number, as test set). The optimal pharmacophore model was screened by fitting the predicted and experimental values of activity [i.e. negative logarithm of half inhibitory concentration (pIC50)] and using Ligand profiler thermogram. The virtual screening of small molecules of eEF2K inhibitors was carried out by combining the above pharmacophore model, Lipinski’s five rules and molecular docking method. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: The overall quality factor score of the crystal structure model of eEF2K protein was 93.697. Among them, 83.33% of the amino acid Verify_3D score was more than or equal to 0.2, and 1.7% of the total amino acids were located in the non-permissible region. The amino acid conformation and skeleton structure of the model were reasonable and the reliability of the model was high. Totally 9 Hypogen pharmacophore models (No. 02-10) with active predictive function were constructed, among which No. 03 pharmacophore model included 2 hydrogen bond receptors and 2 conjugated aromatic rings, which could better distinguish active and inactive molecules. The predicted value of pIC50 fitted the experimental value best (the correlation coefficient was 0.665 3), and it had good predictive ability and high reliability. Finally, 9 potential eEF2K inhibitor molecules were obtained through virtual screening (pIC50 ranged from 1.074 to 1.185, and Dcoking-score of protein-molecule interaction ranged from -9.730 to -7.467). Pro268, Asp267, Gln171, Phe121 and Glu212 may be the key amino acids for the interaction between eEF2K inhibitors and target proteins, including hydrogen bonds, salt bridges and hydrophobicity. These 9 molecules are expected to be the lead compounds for the development of eEF2K inhibitors.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the fat emulsion tolerance in preterm infants of different gestational ages in the early stage after birth.
METHODSA total of 98 preterm infants were enrolled and divided into extremely preterm infant group (n=17), early preterm infant group (n=48), and moderate-to-late preterm infant group (n=33). According to the dose of fat emulsion, they were further divided into low- and high-dose subgroups. The umbilical cord blood and dried blood filter papers within 3 days after birth were collected. Tandem mass spectrometry was used to measure the content of short-, medium-, and long-chain acylcarnitines.
RESULTSThe extremely preterm infant and early preterm infant groups had a significantly lower content of long-chain acylcarnitines in the umbilical cord blood and dried blood filter papers within 3 days after birth than the moderate-to-late preterm infant group (P<0.05), and the content was positively correlated with gestational age (P<0.01). On the second day after birth, the low-dose fat emulsion subgroup had a significantly higher content of short-, medium-, and long-chain acylcarnitines than the high-dose fat emulsion subgroup among the extremely preterm infants (P<0.05). In the early preterm infant and moderate-to-late preterm infant groups, there were no significant differences in the content of short-, medium-, and long-chain acylcarnitines between the low- and high-dose fat emulsion subgroups within 3 days after birth.
CONCLUSIONSCompared with moderate-to-late preterm infants, extremely preterm infants and early preterm infants have a lower capacity to metabolize long-chain fatty acids within 3 days after birth. Early preterm infants and moderate-to-late preterm infants may tolerate high-dose fat emulsion in the early stage after birth, but extremely preterm infants may have an insufficient capacity to metabolize high-dose fat emulsion.
