Objective To analyze the distribution and drug resistance patterns of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB),and evaluate the antimicrobial effects in vitro of colistin(COL)combined with cefoperazone/sulbactam(SCF),tigecycline(TGC),imipenem(IPM),meropenem(MEM),amikacin(AK),and levofloxacin(LEV)against CRAB to provide guidance for anti-infective therapy.Methods A total of 75 non-duplicate CRAB strains isolated from clinical specimens in 2022 were collected.WHONET 5.6 software was used for retrospective analysis of their clinical distribution and resistance profiles.Among them,25 strains were selected for combined antimicrobial susceptibility tests using broth microdilution to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs).The fractional inhibitory concentration(FIC)index was calculated based on checkerboard method to assess the combined effects.Results In 2022,a total of 145 Acinetobacter baumannii strains were isolated,including 75 CRAB(detection rate of 51.7％).CRAB was most prevalent in the patients over 70 years old(40.0％),mainly from blood(41.3％)and sputum(37.3％)specimens,and the intensive care unit was the top isolating department.All the 75 CRAB strains were resistant to piperacillin,piperacillin/tazobactam,ceftriaxone,1PM and MEM with resistance rates of 100％.The resistance rates for ampicillin/sulbactam,cefepime and tri-methoprim/sulfamethoxazole were all exceeded 95％.The resistance rates were 86.7％for LEV,82.7％for SCF,77.4％for AK,2.4％for TGC,and 0.0％for COL.The results of combined tests of 25 strains revealed the synergy rates of 92％and 80％for COL+SCF and COL+TGC respectively with sums of both synergy and additive rates of 100％.Synergy rates for COL combined with IPM,MEM,AK and LEV were 64％,72％,56％and 48％respectively.No antagonism was observed in any combination.Conclusion The drug resist-ance of CRAB exhibited high levels at our hospital,and the elderly and ICU patients were the major susceptible populations.Among all the combinations tests,COL+SCF showed optimal synergy while COL+LEV only had the lowest combined effect with the findings that warrants clinical consideration.

Objective:To summarize and discuss the concept and clinical manifestations of complex fracture-dislocations of the elbow in children, and compare its injury characteristics, treatment and clinical effect with adults.Methods:From September 2015 to January 2020, 34 patients seen and treated at our institution for complex fracture-dislocations of the elbow were identified, and their medical records and radiographs were reviewed retrospectively. The inclusion criteria were elbow dislocation combined with one or more fractures at the proximal ulna and radius. There were 25 boys and 9 girls, with an average age of 8.3±3.2 years. The left arm was involved in 27 cases, and the right arm was involved in 7 cases. The causes of injury included falling from a scooter in 16 cases, falling from height in 10 cases, cycling in 5 cases and traffic accident in 3 cases. All patients were treated with closed reduction and the application of plaster under local anaesthesia in the emergency room. Then, X-ray, CT and MRI were performed to evaluate the fracture-dislocation and ligament injury. The following treatment plan was comprehensively evaluated according to the size and displacement of the combined fracture block and the stability of the elbow, for example, open reduction with K-wires and tension band or plate fixation for olecranon fracture, open reduction with loop plate fixation for coronal process fracture, closed reduction or open reduction with K-wires or elasticstable intramedullary nail for radial neck fracture.Results:Among the 34 patients, there were 16 cases of transolecranon fracture-dislocation, 1 case of varus posteromedial rotational instability, 4 cases of valgus posterolateral rotatory instability and 13 cases of divergent dislocation of elbow. All patients were followed up for 13(8, 15) months, and the average fracture healing time was 3.5±0.8 weeks, with no failure of internal fixation. In 2 cases of elbow dislocation combined radial neck fracture, one case had ischemic necrosis of the radial head and one case had early closure of epiphyseal plate of the proximal radius. At the last follow-up, all patients had no subluxation, dislocation or instability of the elbow. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated at the final follow-up by the Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) as excellent in 25 cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 3 cases, and poor in one case, with excellent and good rate 88%.Conclusion:The complex fracture-dislocations of the elbow is rare in children. We have the opinion that the clinical characteristics are dislocation combined with one or more fractures of the proximal ulna and radius. Compared with adults, its pathological characteristics and the scope of injury are similar, but most of the injuries are mild. The clinical manifestations are mainly transolecranon fracture-dislocation and divergent dislocation of elbow. Good results can be achieved in most cases through open reduction with internal fixation for fractures.

Objective:Analyze the effect of intracardiac method and upturning method in the treatment of infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection(TAPVC), to explore the surgical method of infracardiac TAPVC.Methods:From July 2011 to August 2019, 20 patients with infracardiac TAPVC were treated, including 12 cases with upturning method and 8 cases with intracardiac method. The cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamp time, delayed thoracic closure, ICU time, mechanical ventilation time, postoperative days and anastomotic flow rate were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamp time, delayed thoracic closure, ICU time and mechanical ventilation time between the two groups. The postoperative hospital stay in upturning group was significantly lower than that in intracardiac group [(14.7±2.9)days vs.(16.1±6.2)days, P<0.05], and the postoperative anastomotic velocity > 120 cm/s in intracardiac group was significantly less than that in upturning group(1 case vs. 7 cases, P<0.05). Two patients died in upturning group, but there was no significant difference compared with the intracardiac group. Conclusion:There is no significant difference between the two methods in the treatment of subcardiac TAPVC. The authors think that the exposure of the upturning methods is difficult, and the distortion of the anastomosis may be hidden trouble. The in situ anastomosis of the intracardiac method is not easy to make mistakes.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment of a head-neck separation type of Monteggia equivalent fractures in children.Methods:From March 2016 to February 2019, 12 children sought medical attention at Pediatric Orthopedic Hospital, Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University for a head-neck separation type of Monteggia equivalent fractures. They were 8 boys and 4 girls, aged from 3 to 14 years (average, 8.3 years). All cases were treated with closed reduction, deformity correction and plaster fixation at emergency department after X-ray examination. In line with the treatment principles for Monteggia fractures, after the ulnar length was first restored and stabilized, a proper fixation method was chosen according to the location and type of the ulnar fracture, followed by treatment of the radial neck fracture. The fracture union and complications were evaluated according to the X-ray films after operation, and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated according to the Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) at the final follow-up.Results:The head-neck separation type of Monteggia equivalent fractures in children was characterized by a fracture of ulnar diaphysis or metaphysis and a fracture of the radial neck with complete separation of the head and neck, a longitudinal axis of the radius off the capitellum center at the distal fracture end but normal proximal humeroradial relationship. The fractures were classified into 2 types depending on the angulation direction of the ulnar fracture and the direction of distal displacement of the radial neck fracture: 7 cases belonged to the extension-valgus type and 5 cases to the flexion-varus type. The 12 patients were followed up for 8 to 38 months (average, 16.0 months). Of the ulnar fractures, one was treated with closed reduction and Kirschner wire fixation, 4 with elastic intramedullary nail fixation, 5 with plate fixation, one untreated, and one with manual reduction only. Of the radial neck fractures, 11 were treated with closed reduction and elastic intramedullary nail fixation, and one with open reduction and K-wires fixation. All fractures got united after 8 to 12 weeks (mean, 9.6 weeks). The time for removal of internal fixation ranged from 12 to 50 weeks (mean, 31.2 weeks). Avascular necrosis occurred in one case and bulk formation of proximal metaphysis in another. By the MEPS at the final follow-up, the therapeutic efficacy was excellent in 10 cases, good in one and fair in one.Conclusions:The head-neck separation type of Monteggia equivalent fractures in children is different from common Monteggia fractures or radial neck fractures, because its clinical manifestations are characterized by a fracture of ulnar diaphysis or metaphysis and a fracture of the radial neck with complete separation of the head and neck, a longitudinal axis of the radius off the capitellum center at the distal fracture end but normal proximal humeroradial relationship. The treatment options for ulnar fractures include closed reduction with Kirschner wire fixation, elastic intramedullary nailing, open reduction and bone plate fixation or no fixation, while radial neck fractures are mostly treated by closed reduction and elastic intramedullary nailing. Early functional exercise can lead to satisfactory clinical outcomes.

This article reviews the various studies of MRI in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), focusing on the research progress of MRI in evaluating the developmental trend of hip joint after DDH closed reduction, in order to find reliable indicators for predicting the development of the hip joint after closed reduction of DDH. Due to the advantages of MRI in identifying cartilage and soft tissue, more and more studies have performed MRI before and after DDH treatment to evaluate its specific role. This article has made a corresponding summary, for example, using MRI to identify obstacles that affect the reduction of dislocated hip joints such as fibrofatty tissue hyperplasia/thickening, joint effusion, labrum inversion, iliopsoas muscle atrophy, etc; using MRI to observe the cartilage shaping of the femoral head before and after closed reduction treatment of DDH; using MRI to verify the validity of intraoperative arthrography in assessing the position of femoral head and socket or directly observe the relationship of femoral head and socket with MRI; using hip MR angiography to evaluate the acetabular labrum injury in DDH patients. In addition, the results of bias-corrected studies on MRI-assessed hip-related observations are also summarized. In general, the application of MRI in the diagnosis and treatment of DDH is becoming more and more mature and perfect, and has been advocated by many scholars as a routine auxiliary examination for DDH. However, there is still no consensus on how to evaluate and predict the developmental outcome of the hip joint after closed reduction of DDH. This article summarizes the current progress from three aspects. We summarize the results of many measurements on MRI, which represent cartilage acetabular coverage and are used to predict acetabular growth and development; the research results on the use of MRI to explore the impact of the labrum on the development of the hip joint are summarized; the related research results of MRI evaluation of avascular necrosis of the femoral head after closed reduction are summarized. The above content can provide some reference for the current clinical work and research.

Objective:To discuss the pathological characteristics and strategy for diagnosis and treatment of the transolecranon fracture-dislocation of the elbow in children.Methods:Retrospectively reviewed were the 15 patients who had been treated at Hospital of Pediatric Orthopedics, Xi'an Honghui Hospital from October 2016 to March 2019 for transolecranon fracture-dislocation of the elbow. They were 11 boys and 4 girls, with an average age of 8.3 years (from 5 to 14 years) and 10 left and 5 right arms injured. Type Ⅰ (simple fracture) was found in 11 cases and type Ⅱ (comminuted fracture) in 4 cases in 3 of which the coronoid process was affected. Of them, 14 were treated successfully with closed reduction and plaster fixation under local anesthesia in emergency but one was unsuccessfully. Of the 11 simple fractures, 10 received tension band fixation with Kirschner wire and a short oblique one underwent bone plate fixation; the 4 comminuted fractures were treated by fixation with a combination of Kirschner wire and bone plate.Results:The 15 patients obtained follow-up for 8 to 15 months (average, 11 months). The final follow-up observed fine anatomical relationship of the elbow in all patients, and no such complications as relapse of radial head dislocation, avascular necrosis of the trochlea or early closure of the epiphyseal plate. The transolecranon fracture-dislocation of the elbow obtained bony union in all patients after 5 to 7 weeks (average, 5.6 weeks). The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated at the final follow-up by the Mayo elbow performance score as excellent in 11 cases, as good in 3 and as fair in one.Conclusions:As a type of complicated fracture-dislocation of the elbow, the transolecranon fracture-dislocation of the elbow is rare in children, mainly manifested as simple ones. Treatment options depend on the type of fracture-dislocation. Only anatomical reduction of the olecranon fracture and restoration of a normal trochlear notch can lead to a stable humeroradial joint and thus fine clinical efficacy.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic strategy and result of adult total anomalous pulmonary venous connection(TAPVC).Methods:From November 2011 to November 2019, 6 adult patients with TAPVC underwent surgical correction. The Darling types include 4 cases of supracardiac , 1 case of intracardiac and 1 case of mixed type. There were 1 male and 5 female.

Preoperative oxygen saturation was 0.91±0.05.Results:All patients underwent primary repair successfully without perioperative death and complications. The average cardiopulmonary bypass time was(122.0±35.9) min, and the aortic cross-clamp time was(78.2±20.4) min. The mean postoperative hospitalization was(9.7±2.9) days, and the mean intensive care unit time was(3.5±1.4) days.The mean mechanical ventilation was(17.1±2.9) h. There were no later left heart dysfunction and pulmonary vein obstruction during the follow-up of 6-100 months.no pulmonary artery hypertension was identifed.Conclusion:TAPVC can be repaired savely in adult and satisfied result can be anticipated.

Objective: To study the effect of low-to-moderate dose glucocorticoid therapy on viral clearance time in patients with COVID-19. Methods: A total of 72 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 from January 19 to February 17, 2020 at the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University were recruited. All patients received oral abidol and/or combined lopinavir/ritonavir, darunavir antiviral, and symptomatic supportive care. Among them, 51 patients received methylprednisolone (0.75-1.50 mg·kg^-1·d^-1) (glucocorticoid treatment group), and 21 patients who did not use glucocorticoid were the control group. The time of stable virologic conversion insputumand the time of radiologic recovery in lungsince onset were compared between the two groups and among the normal patients.The Kruskal-Wallis test or Fisher exact test was used to compare the difference between groups. Results: The median ages of the glucocorticoid group and the control group were 52 [interquartile range (IQR):45, 62] years and 46 (IQR: 32, 56)years, and the differences were significant (P<0.05). The clinical conditions at hospital admission were different between the two groups (P<0.01). There were 52.0% critical ill patients in the glucocorticoid treatment group, compared to that of 71.4% normal patients in the control group. The median times from the onset tostable virologic conversion to negative in the two groups were 15 (IQR:13,20) days and 14 (IQR:12,20) days (P>0.05), and the difference was no statistically significant. The median times from onset to radiologic recovery were 13 (IQR: 11,15) days and 13 (IQR:12,17) days in the two groups, and there was no difference (P>0.05). In ordinary patients, the median timesfrom the onset tostable virologic conversion insputum were no difference (P>0.05), with 13 (IQR:11,18) days in the glucocorticoid group and 13 (IQR:12,15) days in the control group; The median times from onset to radiologic recovery in lungwere also no difference (P>0.05), with 12 (IQR: 10,15)days in the glucocorticoid group and 13 (IQR: 12,17) days inthe control group. Conclusions Low-to-moderate glucocorticoid treatment has no effect on the time of virus clearance in patients with different clinical types of COVID-19. The glucocorticoid is not recommended since no effectiveness on accelerating the improvement of radiologic recovery in lung has been observed.

Objective:To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery arising from the inappropriate sinus(AAOCA) in children.Methods:Between April 2016 and November 2019, the clinical data of 9 patients with AAOCA in Anzhen Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 5 males and 4 females; aged from 5 month to 15 years old, with an average(11.7±5.1) years old. The clinical symptoms, auxiliary examination, treatment methods and prognosis of AAOCA patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results:The diagnosis of AAOCA was confirmed by echocardiography and coronary computed tomography angiography in all 9 cases. Left coronary arteries originated from the right coronary sinus in 4 cases, and right coronary arteries originated from the left coronary sinus in 5 cases. Two cases had a history of sudden cardiac death, and 1 case had a history of acute myocardial infarction; except for one asymptomatic case, other children had chest tightness, chest pain, syncope and other symptoms. Surgery was successfully completed in all children, included 7 cases of unroofing surgery, 1 case of coronary translocation and pulmonary translocation, and 1 case of inter-aortic release. There were no death in-hospital and serious complications. The postoperative follow-up period ranged from 3 months to 4 years. During the follow-up period, no patient died with normal heart function; 2 cases had nonspecific chest tightness and chest pain, and there was no evidence of myocardial ischemia.Conclusion:Younger AAOCA patients have a high rate of sudden cardiac death. Once diagnosed, early surgical treatment is needed. Coronary unroofing procedures and coronary translocation are recommended for AAOCA children with safe and reliable.

The construction of wound repair discipline in China is still at the initial stage of exploration, and there is no systematic and mature experiences to learn from. The Luzhong Hospital of Beijing University established a professional committee for wound repair, opened a mobile workstation for wound repair, established a wound repair alliance and quality control center, advocated a medical-care integrated treatment model, and carried out academic exchanges and scientific research, the discipline of wound repair in Shandong Province got a rapid development and the pattern of "Zibo mode" of wound repair emerged. The authors introduce the experiences in construction of the discipline of wound repair in Zibo city, in order to provide some references for the grass-roots counterparts.
